SMITH CALLS AN ASSUMED PHONE NUMBER

The lady's name is Shampepe, she happens to come from Okolobo, Niger State. When Smith called the assumed number, immediately the lady picks, Smith introduced himself and started speaking to her through words of wisdom and knowledge and it happens that everything Smith was saying about her was true. Somehow, Smith and Shampepe got connected and became intimate, but via telephone calls and f*******: chat, because they have never seen each other face to face.

Smith is lying on his bed, playing PS when his phone rings.

"Hello?" He answers without taking his eyes off the screen.

"Smith?", The woman's voice is sultry and makes his heart skip a beat. Immediately, he knows who it is. "It's Shampepe. I'm at the Dolphin Hotel. Can you come and meet me, please? I want to see you."

Smith's mind is racing and without really thinking it through, he replies.

"I'll be there in an hour."

Stunned by what just happened, Smith ends the call and rush to the shower. Who would've thought that this would happen on a normal night in 2004 at 08:00?

Smith also has been wishing to See Shampepe face to face, since they have been professing love through phone calls, he didn't remember telling Shampepe that he wants to see her face to face, but it all happened that Shampepe gave him a surprise visit, taking the risk to travel from Okolobo.

Smith had to tell a lie to his father that he was going to the church, while he leaves for the hotel where Shampepe is lodged to meet her.

Smith, was not anticipating anything serious at all. He went with a very free conscience. Nevertheless,

when he arrives at the hotel, he went straight to the reception.

"Hi,", says Smith to the receptionist, "I am here to see someone who is lodged in this hotel."

The receptionist, ask if Smith has the person's phone number and advise him to just call the person.

Therefore, Smith picks up his phone and dial Shampepe's number. Immediately, Shampepe's line connects, it didn't even ring twice, she picks up to call and say, "Sweetheart, where are you?"

"I am in the reception with the receptionist", Says Smith.

"Alright. I will be with you in a jiffy", Shampepe replies, with excitement in her voice.

When Smith saw the lady walking toward the reception, he was startled at her ecstatic beauty. Smith's heart started racing because he has come to see a total stranger in the hotel and had never had such kind of experience before. Smith is still very naive and young, just 17 years, still in the remedial college, seeking admission into the University.

When Shampepe arrived at the reception, she says to Smith, "Hi, love" and Smith answered, "Hi" with a shy voice.

Shampepe is a very beautiful dark-skinned lady, with artificial deadlock hair. She is a true definition of ebony, revealing the glamour that black is indeed beautiful.

Shampepe holds Smith's hand and they both walk straight to her hotel room.

The hotel room was cosy.

Smith was now feeling very uncomfortable because the first thing that Shampepe did when he entered the hotel room, is kissing him deeply. This tends to send a signal into Smith's brain and he did not know how to present how he felt. He liked it and at the same time feels irritated tasting Shampepe's saliva in his mouth. Smith has never been kissed by a girl before, despite he had pecked his mock girlfriend on her forehead. Therefore, this sends a very strong signal that spurs up a chemical reaction in his brain, creating a fantastic imagination of leaking a honeycomb.

Before Smith could know it, his under paint is already wet. Smith was speechless and was now trying to hide his weakness from Shampepe who had already known that he is a novice.

Shampepe quickly enters the restroom, washes her face and come out and say to Smith, "I am very tired, I want to nap a little, then, wake up to have a warm bath."

"Wow. That is ok!", Smith responded, as he stares at his time, and say, " It is getting late, I think I need to start going now before my Dad calls to ask about my whereabouts."

Shampepe protested, "You can't leave me here alone. I came here because of you and you want to leave me here alone? You know I will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Do you mean, you never wanted to see me?"

"No. It is not as if I do not want to see you, but, I don't know what to tell my Dad.", Smith says, as his heart keeps racing out of proportion.

Suddenly, Smith's phone started ringing.

"Oh no! It is my Dad. He is calling to know my whereabouts. I have never stayed out this long. Therefore, I want to return home immediately. Even if I tell him that I am in the church, knows, I have never stayed this late and I didn't tell him we are having a vigil program. Latest at 7:00 pm, I am home. Now, it is almost 9:00 pm. What do I tell my Dad now?", Smith says sternly.

Shampepe smiles and releases a very loud laugh, saying, "Are you a kid? So you expect me to tell you what to say? I am your girlfriend, you don't expect me to teach you what to say to your Dad when I have sacrificed so much to be here, just to see you face to face."

Smith was indecisive, as his phone rang and went dead. In less than 10 seconds, Smith's phone started ringing again, but this time he picks the call and immediately, his Dad said, "Young man, where are you? Is it not too late for you to be out? "

Smith answers his Dad saying, "Pa, I am very sorry, I didn't inform you earlier. It slips off my memory. I won't be coming back home today. We are having a night vigil, therefore, I will be returning home tomorrow."

Smith had to lie to his father to stay with Shampepe.

"It is ok. Just make sure you take good care of yourself.", Smith's Dad cautions sternly.

Immediately, the call ended, Shampepe, smiles, because finally, she will have Smith pass the night with her in the hotel. This is something Smith has never done, as his head is now full of several thoughts, coupled with the fact that Shampepe looks irresistibly enticing. The appearance of Shampepe is now provoking something in Smith, as he looks around, it was like a dream and he couldn't imagine how he got into the hotel. Everything about Shampepe is charmingly tempting, as she had to change from her jean trouser into a transparent white nightdress, revealing everything about her privacy. This was something Smith has never imagined seeing, therefore, it was beginning to coax him into fantasizing about having coitus. The more Smith tried to hide his weakness, the more his erected pecker exposes him, because it is like a pen filled with ink, looking for a book to write on it, while the book is standing right in front of him, inviting him, saying," I've got blank pages for you. You can come and print on me, I am all yours."

What a temptation, as Smith's eyes, is glued to the irresistible sight of transparent nightwear of an irresistible beautiful lady, whom he is just meeting face to face with for the first time.

Shampepe motions toward Smith sits on his lap and faces him face to face. Smith could not resist, it was as if he had come under a spell. Smith is now looking directly at the black spot on the flexible cap of Shampepe's bristol, which looks like ripe Carica papaya (CP) with a pointed tip. The CP is now standing like the short tail of a viper, vibrating as if being placed on a vibrator, ready to strike, as it shakes in the aggressive mood to release venom. The control point is being stimulated, as Smith tends to become wild, holding Shampepe close, while she smacks and kisses him deeply, holding her hand down into his pant, robbing the tip of his pen, as if it is now the book that does the writing, instead of the pen on the book. Smith screams in ecstasy. He likes it and at the same time do not want it, but find himself now reciprocating as Shampepe holds his hand and redirect it in between her thigh. Smith screamed immediately his hand felt something, which seemed very warm, as it feels like a lubricant Shampepe, twists her body, whining her waist covered in ornamental designer beads. She is acting as if she is feeling something only she could explain and was now making a moaning sounding, screaming on top of her voice, "Come on! Sweetheart, enter! Come in, I am ready!"

Everything was beginning to irritate Smith, as his pant is completely wet. Smith doesn't understand what Shampepe meant by "Come on!" He was just there. Somehow, Smith becomes overwhelmed, as he now left himself for Shampepe to do whatever she wants to do.

Suddenly, Smith felt his device under his pant, digging up the honeycomb. He didn't even know when he screamed, "I like it, give it to me." It was like nothing Smith had ever experienced and wish it will never stop. It was warm and soothing. Smith didn't even last up to five minutes before he poured out something that looks slimy and thick as pap, smelling like bleach

Smith is now frightened, not knowing what to do. Since he had read that if a man releases into a woman, she will get pregnant. Smith started crying, as he asked Shampepe, "What am I going to do now since I released inside of you?"

Shampepe just smiled and said, "Sweetheart, don't worry, I will take care of it."

They both went to the bathroom, enter the bathtub and had a warm bath, expressing deep emotions, as Shampepe was playing one of Joe's song titles "I will make love to you."

Shampepe holds Bob's hand and say, "Close your eyes and make a wish."

When Bob closes his eyes, Shampepe orders him to open it. When he opens it, He saw beautiful candles around the bathtub, with red roses in the soaped water of the bathtub, where Shampepe was wrapped in his arm.

Smith was still fighting the thought, trying not to accept what has happened. He wanted everything to be just a dream, but what has happened had happened. He has had his first carnal knowledge with a stranger he is seeing face to face for the first time.

It didn't stop there. When they left the bathroom, they still went into another round and had it till daybreak.

Automatically, Smith got emotionally attached to Shampepe, but never knew that will be the last time he will ever meet with her.

While Smith was still sleeping, he heard Shampepe's voice. She was on call, talking to a man.

Smith wakes up and Shampepe ended the call with the word, "I love you too."

Smith was pissed because he felt Shampepe just took advantage of him and stole something very precious from him, which is his virginity.

After everything, Smith returns home, feeling very exhausted. When he calls Shampepe's number, he realizes that her phone was now switched off. Smith kept trying Shampepe's number, for two to three months, but she was never picked up her call, even when her line is now ringing.

After a very long time, Smith got a message on his f*******: inbox. Guess who? It was Shampepe, who was now apologizing for not picking up his calls, because, she feel guilty for using him. She claims that Smith is very innocent and clean, that it will be wrong to continue reaping him of his pristine nature. Smith was very hurt because he now loves Shampepe and feels as though he can never live without her. It was very hard for Smith to accept that Shampepe would just show up in his life and vanish into thin air.

Some years after, that is 2016, Smith decides to check Shampepe's wall on f*******: and was shocked by what he saw. Smith saw numerous comments on Shampepe's wall, saying, "Rest in peace Shampepe." It was a big shock to Smith that Shampepe died, and he never knew.

Nevertheless, the experience Smith had with Shampepe had now opened his eyes to the real world. The realization of the Shampepe death was dawn on Smith after he had graduated from the university and was now in love with Jennifer.

The grief and bitterness in the heart of Smith were something he never knew was there because it only exist as a seed of an atom in the heart of his eye, such that the anatomy of his heart has not the trait

of a normal human being. He realizes that whenever he gets hurt, he will suddenly start seeing the full moon rising and when that happens, his muscles will start vibrating and tearing off, with long claws protruding from his fist, like that of a wild werewolf ready to devour its prey. Smith does not like this part of himself and he couldn't avoid people he loves, because they cost him more hurt and provoke the beast in him.

The death of Shampepe lives a vacuum in Smith's heart, which made him start searching for true love, which he thought had been found in Jennifer, but in the long run, he discovered Jennifer was possessed. Jennifer could tell what will happen in future, because, she predicted that Smith will marry a particular tribe and happened just like as she had predicted.

There is a mark that Smith noticed on Jennifer's forehead. Each time he sees that mark, what comes into his mind, is a cobra. Jennifer has serpentine nature, but, Smith had to suppress the nature of a beast in him to love her and he loves her more than anything else.

Smith's frustration started immediately he realized that Jennifer was cheating on him, but will never agree to it because she has never been caught in the act.

Life became miserable for Smith without Shampepe and now Jennifer, who became his betrothed wife. To make matters worse, Fortune, who tends to enter into marriage with the mindset of an alpha female, who wouldn't want to submit, always provoking the beast in Smith.

Smith is always having a dream, seeing himself being the leader of a pack of alpha werewolves, known as Lycans. In the pack of the Lycans, Smith is the Alpha and Omega. The man of every woman's dream in and outside the pack. The appearance of Smith makes it easier for every woman to fall for him and have him by their side, but in real life, he is been tossed around by the ones he loves. Smith was hurting the emotions of those who loves him truly but was been hurt by those he loves truly. What an irony, to see life drives Smith into becoming a lunatic in thought, such that when that rage comes upon him, he will start running the street naked, looking for whoever to bite with his bare teeth.

Smith desires to live his life outside what people have tagged to be real and to him, the only portal to reaching the unlimited power is to steal the heart of the eye (that removes the Y from the EyE to have EE, which means DIE).

Have you ever had an experience, whereby all you desire to free yourself from the prison of bitterness and hurt, is death? This was the kind of experience Smith has had and to make matters worse, he thought marriage will terminate the pattern, but rather increase it, now making him often attempt suicide, especially, when Fortune does not allow him to have peace.

Fortune, Smith's wife is never understanding him, even when he goes against his will to suppress his ego, she will rather choose to choose the contrary of whatever Smith desire and when Smith agrees to her choice, she will end up arguing with him, on the ground that he is acting as if he is all-knowing and cannot be corrected.

This attitude of Fortune is usually the cause of Smith's obsession, which makes him violent most times.

Smith is not the person that Fortune is turning him into, because she wants a man she can toss around, but Smith is not that kind. He is a natural-born alpha male, with a dominant personality in behaviour, especially concerning social aggression, nevertheless, he met with his perfect match.

How can these two blend, a hyperactive dominant man and a super-hyper active, talkative alpha-female?

The world is always having a wrong perception of who alpha males are.

Some dudebros see alpha as a compliment and aspiration, while others see right into the small, sad, insecure hearts of the trying-too-hard alpha. This is the part of Smith that Fortune discovers and kept taking advantage of him.

Fortune does not like being told her wrong, you don't dare it or you get it hard from her. When Smith realize this part of Fortune, he had to start overcoming his rage with compassion and love, but this caused him so much hurt, which makes him always cry.

Smith despite having Fortune, felt empty and this emptiness drags him into the void of thinking, he has lost everything and needs to search until he finds a place of true comfort in life or the afterlife.

Smith fell in love with the wild, where he goes to relieve his heart of burdens, as he stands on the tallest mountain, anticipating to see a rising full moon. Even if, it is during the day. What an obsession for the sake of what the heart earnest crave for.

.................................................................

In the next chapter, I will take you back to see how Smith's love affair started with Maria, the got disciplined by Shampepe and how his experience with Shampepe affected everything about his love life.

Generally, this story will paint a picture of how weak dominant men could be in the heart are the ones they love truly, who often end up causing them more hurt. The case of Smith became a pattern that he could not figure out. Therefore, he decided to accept all that happens to him as his fate. Nevertheless, one thing remains, despite all that had gone through and finally settled with Fortune, his heart is still searching.

Can Smith find what he is searching for?

What if that which Smith is searching for is only an illusion of reality?

Are our desires for real?

When desires are met, will it ensure satisfaction and fulfilment?

Why does life run on a platform of the ironic track?
