THE APPRENTICE Episode 7


 Both of them got down from the bed and knelt.

"I'm sorry ma."
"Ma, please forgive me."
"Please ma."
Both kept pleading almost at the same time.
Chief's wife got closer to where Ada knelt and slapped her.
"This should be the last time I'll see you with Chidi again."
"Yes, ma."
"If I ever see you around him again, you will regret knowing him. Stup!d girl, dress up and get out of my house."
Ada went and picked up her clothes. She wore them and quickly rushed out of the house.
Chidi was shaking and sweating profusely.
She faced him. Chidi couldn't look up.
"I'm sorry ma, I don't know what came over me. Please ma it won't repeat itself. Please, I .."
"Shut up," Chief's wife cut in.
"Is this the reason why you left the shop?"
"Please ma, I'm sorry."
"Chief will hear this."
"Please ma. Don't tell Oga."
"I should not tell him?"
"Yes, ma," he said looking terrified.
"I will forgive you but we have to strike a deal."
"I'm ready to do anything ma."
"Not today. Lest I forget, Let me not see you with that girl or any other girl ever again."
"Yes, ma."
"Dress up and go back to the shop."
Chidi was surprised, that was the last statement he expected from Chief's wife at that moment.
"I should go?"
"Yes, go," she said and left the room.
Chidi picked his clothes, wore and left for the shop.
He got to the shop and sat, his mind was racing.
It was still like a dream to him that his madam caught him in such a situation but did nothing to him.
On second thought, he was inquisitive to know what the deal was.
"What kind of deal was she talking about? Is it like a punishment? Oh God, whatever that deal is going to be, I don't want Oga and my mother to hear what happened," he thought.
He couldn't achieve anything in the shop that day.
The following day, they were at the shop doing their normal activities.
Chidi still hadn't gotten over what happened the previous day.
Chief's wife was also at the shop, she was going about her usual activities. But was unusually happy and free unlike before when she bosses around.
She couldn't wait to strike the promised deal.
So she picked a few things and put them in her handbag.
Then she called Chidi.
"Yes ma."
"Get ready, you will follow me to somewhere."
"Ok, ma."
Chidi's heart was beating faster.
She told the other boys to take care of the shop.
Then both of them left.
Chief's wife drove him to a guest house on the outskirts of the market.
The environment looked quiet and private.
They entered inside and Chief's wife met the receptionist and made some transactions.
Afterwards, they moved into a room.
"Relax. You Look tensed, I'm not going to harm you," she smiled.
"Ok ma."
Chief's wife sat and Chidi was standing.
"I said relax. Do you know why we are here?"
"No ma."
"Ok I will tell you."
She stood and got close to him.
"You will handle me like you did to that girl," she whispered into his ears.
"But ma, you are my..."
"Forget about who I am to you, this is the reason why I've been exonerating you. I loved you from the first day you stepped your feet in my house," Chief's wife cut in.
Chidi was speechless and was a bit relaxed.
" It's between me and you. Nobody will get to know about this," she continued.
She held him and gave him a slow gentle kiss. She ran her hand from his chest area and through his belly, down to his shorts.
Bitter-sweet sensation flooded Chidi's brain.
He couldn't resist it as she removed his shorts.
In no time, they were both undressed and lost in emotions on the cosy bed.
