My First Love, Episode 4

“It is true that I enjoyed your cassava and I will like you to keep sleeping with me, but that does not mean you should come to my house. For your information, I’m still married,” I said to Fred. I was yet to let him into the house.

I was scared. This is a man who just slept with me at the hotel less than two hours ago. I told him to stay at the hotel but he stubbornly came to the house. My husband is here. If the old man finds out that I’m cheating on him with a young man who has sweet cassava, I will see trouble.

“Coming to my house means you want put me in trouble. I was the one who brought you America. I paid for your visa, paid for your flight ticket and paid for a hotel for you here in America. The plan is for you to stay in that hotel until I divorce my husband, but you decided to come to my house. This is not proper. If my husband finds out that you are sleeping with me, there will be trouble,” I said to Fred. Fred was less concerned about all I was saying.

As I was talking, blocked the door because I was not ready to let him into the house. I was talking in low tones because I did not want my husband to hear what I was saying. Fred was not even listening to me. In fact, he came to my house with his bags fully packed from the hotel. He did not want to stay at the hotel even though I paid them for a whole month. The money I paid for the hotel room is now a waste.

“Please, go back to the hotel. I paid for you to stay there for one month. I did that because I did not want you to come here. Now, you want the money I paid to go to waste. I have told you all my plans, but it appears you want to spoil everything. Please, return to the hotel. I will be coming everyday to give you American dollars and to collect sweet cassava,” I said. I was still talking when Fred pushed me aside and entered the living room as if the entire house belonged to him. He went to my husband’s chair and sat down.

“I didn’t ask you enter. Fred, you are in the United States of America and I can call the police to arrest you. Please, leave this house before my husband comes out from the bathroom. If he comes out and sees you here, he will call the American police to arrest you,” I said. I was scared. I was just threatening Fred to know if he would get afraid and leave the house.

“I’m not going anywhere. If you like, call the American Army, I’m not leaving. I have come to America to possess my possesion which was taken from me many years ago. This old man took my woman and married her simply because he was richer than me. You also followed him as if I meant nothing to you. Now, it is my turn to take what belongs to me,” Fred said. He was behaving confidently and making himself to feel at home.

I was still talking when Fred picked up the TV remote control and changed the channel from CNN to Fox News. It was my husband who left the channel on CNN where he was watching news. Before I could talk again, Fred entered the kitchen as if he owns it. He looked for my pots and opened them one after the other. He was looking for food. When he did not see cooked food, he decided to fry eggs.

I was shocked when Fred broke eight eggs and fried all of them at the same time. I tried to stop him but he started talking in a loud voice. I did not want my husband to hear us, so I allowed him to fry the eggs. When Fred finished frying the eggs, he put it in a plate, picked a loaf of bread from the shelve and moved back to the living room. I quickly followed him. Fred sat down like the man of the house and started eating the fried egg and bread. At this point, I figured out that he was not going to leave. I knew that if I waste more time trying to force him, he will remain there until my husband comes out from the bathroom to see him. I decided to change tactics.

“Fred please, I don’t want you to leave again. But please, follow me, let me show you where to hide. I will keep you in a private room where my husband will never see you. You will stay there until I figure out how to handle the situation. Please, stand up and follow me, my husband will soon come out and there will be serious trouble if he sees you here,” I said. I even knelt down to beg him.

“You want to hide me as if I’m a thief. You enjoyed my cassava at the hotel and now you want to hide me? You said you want me to be sleeping with you, so I decided to come and live with you so that you will never miss me. I’m not afraid of your husband. I’m not going to hide,” He said. I started crying to see if my tears will move him.

“I’m not even asking you to leave again. I just want to show you a room where you will stay. You know, if my husband sees you, there will be trouble and all our plans will scatter. Please, stand up and follow me,” I said, but Fred continued to chew his bread and egg absentmindedly.

Then, my husband opened the bathroom door to come out.

“I’m in serious trouble,” I said in my heart.
