THE DEPTH OF ADDICTION

The question got me off balance, that I have to clear my throat before answering her.

Me: (scared but smiling) I'm very sure that every guys on earth would love to kiss you.
 

Ronke: (smiling) every guys... what about you? 

Me: sure... why won't I love to?
 

Ronke: then what's holding you?

I don't have it easy with girls within my age bracket: but here I am with another woman that's old enough to be my mother. I don't need any more invitation than the one I already got. I moved closer to her: placed my left hand on her right cheek. I planted a very light kiss on her lips. I moved away. We stared at each other eyeballs without uttering a word for 30secs. She moved closer to me and she planted a more romantic kiss on my lips. I reciprocated the kiss as I inserted my tongue into her mouth. She seems very good at kissing. She trapped my tongue with her teeth while she uses her tongue to massage mine. I was really enjoying myself until when we heard a knock at the door. We quickly separated.

Me: who is it?
 

A guy: room service... I brought your order sir

why on earth did he choose to come now? I ordered him in and he served us with the beers and chickens we ordered for. I had not eaten anything today except the Sunday rice I took after church. I devoured the chicken like It was said to be my last super. I'm still feeling the alcohol in my blood stream: so I dint bother taking any more.
 

I have not been conscious of the time since... I checked the time, it's now 9pm. How on earth did the time fly like that? I told her about my fears (going home now) but she insisted that I kiss and romance her before she could allow me go. I looked at her face and she seems serious and more sex*y in the way she stares back at me. I moved closer to her that my lips was near hers. We could feel ourselves breathing. I placed my right hand on her bre*st and I fondled it from inside her clothes.
 

She moaned as I now used my cheek to rub hers. I could feel a sudden rise in my trousers. I lifted up her blouse. I exposed her brea*t. I now used some of my fingers to pinch her right nip*ples while I clamped my mouth on the other one. Her hands touched my OGA and it double charged. We were in cloud seven when Ronke phone rang. I was curious to know who was it: but she just ignored the call with the phone still in her bag. I continued with what I was doing but not with much enthusiasm like before. The tempo kept coming down as the caller kept calling.
 

Even though she refused to bring out the phone from her bag to be sure who was it: It's obvious that the caller is Tunde. I was terrified when my phone rang. I expected the worse without even knowing who the caller was.... if it's my dad; I'm in trouble and if it's Tunde.. I'm in trouble as well. I had my heart in my mouth as I removed the phone from my pocket. It's Tunde.
 

I hurriedly moved away from Ronke and told her that's Tunde. She was not even bothered: she moved closer to me and tried kissing me: which I smartly rejected. I put a finger on my lips signalling her to keep quiet as I picked the call and immediately puts it on loudspeaker.

Me: (forming drunkard) he.. hello Tunde... are you back from your trip?
 

Tunde: (voice serious) what trip did I tell you that I'm going for? Where are you guys?
 

Me: (still pretending) what guys are you talking about?
 

Tunde: you and Ronke of course.... a guy informed me that he saw you and Ronke drove out of the hotel shortly I left you guys. I'm back at the hotel and you guys haven't returned since then.
 

Me: (confused) we.. we went for a stroll and decided to get an ice cream at KFC. We are on our way back now.
 

Tunde: it had better be true; because if I found out that you are flirting and doing rubbish things with my woman. Hmnnnnn, just consider yourself dead.

I was about to say something but he hung up the call as soon as he passed his message.

I looked into Ronke's eyes and I saw fear. I knew instantly that I have had more than I can chew. She's now very nervous than when we got here. I was very happy for putting the phone on loudspeaker; She wouldn't have believed me: if I told her what Tunde said. I managed to get words out of my mouth: and her response really revealed her fear. I suggested that we leave immediately before things get out of hand than it already has.
 

We hurriedly straighten out our dress and we headed out of the room.

Me: (forcing a smile) we are going back to the Rooftop hotel now. Please let me do the talking. Just talk only when either of us asked you a direct question.
 

Ronke: (voice trembling) o o okay... what did you intend telling him?
 

Me: I don't know yet but it still have to be around the KFC stuffs. But I will figure out something before we get there.

My eyes is very clear now. There's no sign that I took alcohol today. My brain is very sharp and seriously thinking what I would tell Tunde today. It's as well getting late and I'm very sure that it won't be long when my parents would start calling. My brain was busy multitasking as we approached her car. She pressed the security unlock button and as I was trying to open the car: I heard a very loud clap behind us. It's Tunde and three of his friends. It seems that they have been hanging around the car for a while.
 

Ronke and I was so shocked that we lost our voices. Tunde kept staring at us without saying anything. He kept walking round me until he stopped right in front of me. We stood like that for 3mins before Tunde broke our minutes of silence.

Tunde: (wicked smile) Femi .. Femi.. It's a pity that we dint discuss about rest of the rules. Rule number 7 and 8 could have come handy for you at this very moment.
 

Me: what are you talking about? We came to....... (cuts me off with a viscous slap)
 

Tunde: (voice raised) don't talk until I asked you to... you back biting friend.

A part of me wanted to return the favour of the slap but alertness of the other 3 guys stopped me. Then I looked into Ronke's eyes whose eyes is now filled in tears: I knew that I'm in for a long night. He continued.

Tunde: as I was saying... Rule number 7 states that you should never try to date any of your friends girlfriends or ex girlfriends unless he asked you to. While Rule number 8 is the same thing as Rule number 7. It's just a pity that you dint know the rules on time: but I bet that you will know the consequences of what you have done.

Fear gripped me. I don't know what he meant by "consequences" but I know that it won't be something nice. 

I immediately went on my knees and started rubbing my palms against each other, signalling a sign of begging and remorse. He came over to me and he dragged me to my feet.

Tunde: (smiling) don't even think about begging me... ooh, what am I perceiving? so you now make use of Ronke's perfume. You are a dead man Femi ..

He snapped his fingers and two of his friends grabbed me by the shoulder. They collected my phone and my wallet.. tied my hands and legs with rope.... taped my mouth and I was bundled me into the boot of Ronke's car. It seems like one of Jack Bauer's film: but it's not. I'm in the back of the car. I could hear Ronke crying and begging Tunde. She said that she took advantage of me because I was drunk. He was not moved by Ronke's plea because the vehicle started moving after 2mins that I was put inside the boot. They drove out of the hotel.
 

I started praying to God to please save me from Tunde and his friends. It's Adeboye's fault that I'm in this mess. My mind was seriously praying for my safety but at the same time: thinking of the way to do away with kikelomo and Bidemi.
 

Only God knows what my "consequences" are. I might not even see the Adeboye's again... Sarah.. Adedoyin... Ruka... Motunrayo.... and most expecially my lovely family. Tears rolled down my eyes as those thoughts went through my head.
 

I continued praying and still trying to figure out where Tunde was taking me to. The car stopped in what I guess to be about 10mins drive. My heart kept skipping. I was bundled out of the car. I looked around: trying to figure out where I was but the fence of the compound was very high. I know that I won't be too far off from my area.
 

I scanned the area for Tunde and Ronke: but they were nowhere to be found. I have now resigned my faith in the hands 3 fierce looking guys. One of the guys removed the tape and rope from my body. He whispered into my ears --"you fuc*ked up and we are going to treat your fuc*kup".

Me: (crying) I'm sorry for everything but I promise it won't repeat itself
 

Guy1: (smiling) I bet that it won't... so you actually slept with her..
 

Me: no ooo... we just came over for a drink... I am very sorry sir; it won't happen again. Please let me go; my family would have been worried by now.
 

Guy2: you should have thought of that before you took your friends girlfriend to another hotel.

I knew that there is no amount of pleading that would let these guys let go: because I know that they are working under the directives of Tunde. I looked around and I was looking for a way to escape the vicinity. I could see that the guys with me were not concentrating on me. Without having much thought about what I was doing: I ran off to the gate. One of the guys saw me and he alerted the other guys.
 

They pursued me. Unfortunately for me, the gate was locked with a big padlock. With the three fierce looking guys almost caught up with me. I looked around and I sighted a hole in one of the X-axis of the tall fence. I dashed over there and I was almost scaling the fence when one of the guys caught me by my trousers. He forcefully dragged me down: that I landed on my arm. I was seriously in pain but that doesn't stop them from beating me. I was kicked continuously on my tummy that I could hardly breathe. They dragged me on my feet and I received punches again on my tummy and face.
 

I started seeing 9 guys instead of 3 guys. The beating continued until I faked to have passed out. The guys were afraid that I was dead.

Guy1: (voice shaking) it seems the guy is dead ooo
 

Guy2: (checking my pulse) he's still breathing but I think it would be better for us to release him as Tunde as instructed.

Through their conversations: I was made to understand that: Tunde and Ronke had already alighted the car before we got to this place. And that Tunde actually instructed them to beat me up and release me afterward. 

They put my wallet and phone into my pocket. They put me back into Ronke's car. only that this time, I sat in at the back of the car.
 

They drove me to our street and they forcefully ejected me out of the car: just like the way "One chance" people usually does. They drove off before people around knew what had happened.
 

I laid motionless on the floor and people have already gathered around me. I could hear their conversation. 

Some of them said, the guys that dropped me were ritualist: that they have used me. While some of them said I'm among the school cultists around our area.
 

I'm dying and none of the people around deemed to help me. I am very weak. I knew I couldn't stand up on my own but I managed to turn over my body. It was when my face was visible to all; that someone called my name. "It's Femi .. It's Femi". He helped me up and he called out for people to assist him. I managed to look at the man's face and I realised it to be Ruka's father.
 

They took me to our house. I was not surprised when I met my every member of my family outside. My mum started shouting and I could see Funmilayo crying. My dad ordered my only brother to bring out the car and I was rushed to the hospital.
