Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
Long-distance Relationship
Episode Three
Bruno did not go back home after that night. He stayed with Jemima throughout the week. Every day, he cooked for her, helped her with house chores, and stayed close to her like a husband would. They laughed together, watched movies, and spent long hours in bed.
Jemima knew she was digging a deeper hole for herself, but her body could not resist him. Whenever Bruno touched her, all her resistance melted away. By the end of the week, they had made love many times. Jemima felt guilty each time, but she kept going back to him again and again.
"I just can't stop. He is such a wonderful man." She said to herself.
Meanwhile, far away in America, Femi was making his own secret plans. He wanted to surprise Jemima. He had already sent money to his family to prepare some things for the wedding, but he kept the exact date of his arrival to himself. He wanted to see Jemima’s face when she opened the door and found him standing there. He had missed her so much. He had worked hard, saved enough money, and was ready to settle down.
“This is our time, Jemima. I can’t wait to hold you again,” Femi said to himself as he booked his flight.
Femi’s heart was full of excitement when he landed in Lagos. He dragged his suitcase out of the airport and quickly booked a taxi. The only thing on his mind was Jemima. He wanted to see her face, to hug her, to remind her that their love had survived three long years.
The driver took him straight to Jemima’s street. Femi knew her apartment very well; he had stayed there many times before traveling. He could hardly wait. He looked at the engagement ring on his finger and smiled.
“My queen, I am finally here,” he whispered as he approached.
Back in the apartment, Jemima and Bruno were on the bed together. Bruno held her tightly, touching her passionately. She knew it was wrong, but she didn’t stop him.
Just then, Jemima’s phone began to ring. She opened her eyes and looked at the screen. It was Femi. Her heart skipped a beat.
“Oh my God,” she whispered. Bruno stopped and looked at her.
“Don’t pick. Leave it. He is far away in America. Focus on me. Focus and enjoy what we are doing in bed,” Bruno said, pulling her closer. Jemima shook her head.
“No, I have to answer. He will suspect something if I ignore his calls.”
She picked up the phone with trembling hands. “Hello, Femi,” she said, trying to sound calm. Femi’s voice was filled with excitement.
“Guess where I am right now,” he said cheerfully. Jemima closed her eyes.
“You are in your room in America,” she replied, pretending to be playful. Femi laughed softly.
“Wrong answer, my love. I am at your doorstep. Open the door.” Jemima’s whole body froze. Her eyes were filled with shock. She quickly sat up and pushed Bruno away.
“Femi what did you just say?” she asked.
“I said I’m right outside your apartment,” Femi repeated.
Jemima’s heart pounded heavily. She jumped off the bed and began to dress up quickly. Bruno sat up with confusion.
“What is going on? Why are you afraid? Come back let's continue,” Bruno said. Bruno has reached the point of no return and he wanted to finish the job, but Jemima pushed him away. He felt terrible.
Jemima’s hands shook as she buttoned her blouse.
“Femi is here! He’s outside the door right now,” she whispered in horror. Bruno’s mouth fell open.
“What? That’s impossible! He’s supposed to be in America.” He said.
“He just told me. He’s outside right now.” Jemima said.
Bruno was confused.
“What do we do now? Should I hide in the bathroom?” Jemima didn’t answer. She was terrified.
Jemima tiptoed out of the bedroom and slowly approached the front door. She peeped through the small hole. What she saw made her body weak.
Femi was standing right there with his suitcase, smiling broadly, waiting for her to open. She leaned against the wall with her whole body trembling.
“God, what will I do now? Femi is here and Bruno is still inside my bedroom,” she said to herself. Her mind was filled with confusion. She could not open the door, and she could not send Femi away. She wiped her sweaty face, breathing heavily, as fear consumed her completely.
Femi called again from outside. “Babe, are you not at home? I’m right here at your door. Open up, I want to see you. I can’t wait any longer.” Jemima closed her eyes tightly, biting her lips. Her thoughts were scattered.
“If I open the door, he will see Bruno. If I don’t open, he will suspect something. God, help me,” she said softly. Bruno came out of the bedroom with his shirt halfway buttoned.
“Jemima, we need to think fast. He can’t find me here. If he does, everything will be ruined,” Bruno whispered.
Jemima pushed Bruno back towards the room. “Go inside. Don’t make any sound. Please, let me think,” she whispered urgently. Bruno nodded and returned to the bedroom, closing the door quietly. She didn’t want Femi to sense her fear. She prayed silently.
“God, please don’t let him suspect anything. Please don’t let him find out.” God! Femi is here and his brother is in my room.”
