~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phone crackled..
Lagos to London
Thirty minutes and ticking..
The calls had been regular for the last month..
"So i'll just get a schengen & we can meet up in Paris.. You know.. Get a room together.. It'll be fun" she urged me.
"But you know we can't do that babes.." I said
"Trust me Roc.. we'll stay in bed all week.. Order room service..." Her voice went on..
I was hearing but stopped listening..
*We first met in '97..*
In Unilag
She was walking from Moremi hall to class..
Size 8 waist.. Size 10 hips.. 34bees..
short curly hair dyed blonde..
I fancied her.. Been looking out for her.. Accosted her..
She liked my smile.. We became friends..
And got closer.. And closer..
But I never touched her.
Once, alone in my crib..
On the couch.. Watching TV
She asked..
"How come you've never tried touching me before.. Or at least kissing me?"
Lifting her silk top.. she exposed her navel..
"Touch me right here.. now" pointing to her belly button..
I smiled..
Cracked a joke..
But I never touched her..
*Fast forward.. 2003*
Victoria island
Me? A banker.. With STB..
She? with the French embassy..
We meet up for breakfast/lunch..nearly everyday..
Like clockwork, she always said.. "But You know I'm going to marry you, Roc.. You know.."
We'd flirt.. Talk.. Flirt..
Trade our innermost secrets..
But I never touched her..
*Fast forward 2009*
They'd been together a year & a half
He had smacked her.. Punched her..
Smashed the tv in anger..
Sold her car..
She had even walked in with him ontop of another wom...
"Roc..? did you get it?" jolting me back to the present.. "I just sent u a picture.."
"Aww babes.. Listen.. we can't do this..."
"Whyyy..?" She argued
"Because babes.. Just because.. You're married..! Untouchable..!" I responded.
"Oh please.. Does that mean we can't steal something..? Ehn Roc.. can't we ste..?"
Her call card must have finished..
'Cos the phone went dead..
*Damn girl.. How you ganna ask Anini about stealing?!*

P.S.
Anini ~ ... no other armed robber rattled Nigeria like Lawrence Anini. The fear of Anini, was the beginning of longevity in the Nigeria Police. Apart from robbing and throwing the money into market square, Anini’s sworn enemy was the Police. It was reported that Anini in a space of 3 months, killed 9 Policemen
