Eno found it difficult to think in her high state, She sat in the car
confused, tried to start the car again, no luck. Eno got out of the car
terrified, it was 11:45PM, she paced back and forth as cars sped off
past her. She pulled a lever inside the car to open up the bonnet and
see if she can fiddle with something under the hood that can help her
start the car.
As she stood on the bridge in her tight short black
leather dress, she noticed how it seemed like the bridge was moving
beneath her, sort of a slow bounce, this isn’t the alcohol, she told
herself.
People had always told her they had that kind of
experience on third mainland bridge but she never experienced it before,
she went back into the car and locked herself in. If only she wasn’t so
wasted, she would know what to do right now. What to do! What to do!!
She spoke to herself softly.
Call Marouf!! A bright bulb light up in her head.
Seems
like the only thing to do right now, he is her trusted mechanic, some
athletic middle-aged short Ijebu boy. It’s too late to call but there
isn’t any other option, she said to herself. She picked up her phone and
dialled Marouf, he picked up at the fourth ring after the third try to
call his phone, horrible network on the bridge.
‘Aunty Eno’, Marouf said. The background music was almost deafening, seemed like Marouf was at a party.
‘Marouf, the car don spoil for third mainland bridge o’ She said without any atom of ‘poshness’ in her which she really did
‘Ohooooo Aunty! I dey party for Obalende, I dey enjoy myself’ He said
‘Come jo! You know say I be woman, before all these area boys go come’ Eno tried to threaten him
‘Wetin I go tell awon aye wey we dey together, Aunty ? ’ Marouf asked with an hysterical laugh
‘Come jo! I dey that side after that Yaba turn! Do quick jo’ Eno said
‘If dem rob or ra–pe me, na you I go use Police catch o’ Eno continued.
‘I don dey come, Aunty Eno’
She
cut the phone, anticipating the arrival of Marouf that seemed to take
forever. She looked around, making sure that all her doors are locked
tight and none of the windows are down.
Her mind drifted back to
the dance with Bode, her friend’s colleague, that boy can grind someone
into or–ga–sm was her thought when she saw the light of a danfo bus
parking behind her from the inner mirror, Some guy in a tight-fitting
outfit came out and the bus disappeared.
The guy came close to her
window and knocked, she looked up scared only to find out that it was
Marouf standing there. She seemed very happy to see him, she came out
and almost hugged him.
‘You be yeye” Eno said to Marouf jokingly ‘You come tey like that, for say armed robbers don come rob me nko’ She continued.
‘Aunty nothing go happen jo, Police dey for there na’ Marouf replied pointing down the bridge.
Marouf seem fitter today, although artisan are almost as ripped as sports people, she thought, it must be his body hug shirt.
‘Aunty, open the bonnet’ Marouf said moving towards the front of the car.
‘I don open am since’ Eno replied
Marouf
opened the bonnet and fiddled around the battery head, asked her to try
to start it again, she did and the engine roared back to live.
She
screamed out of excitement and ran towards Marouf, giving him a full
body hug and in return Marouf grabbed a decent chunk of her as-s, she
ignored like she dint know what he did.
‘Wetin happen na, wetin do
the car, wetin you touch?’ Eno had 1001 questions for Marouf except for
the ass grab which she felt ticklish and kind of liked.
‘Na the battery head dey shake, e be like when you dey enter gallop na him e comot’ Marouf tried to explain.
She
moved beside him to see where he was pointing, as she looked downward,
the full light of the car shone bright against Marouf’s inner thighs,
and it kinda seemed like he had a big cucumber in his pocket
