I woke up on a mat, a dirty mat in a dirty room. The roof was leaking and sun rays were entering directly into my eyes. I checked my pockets for my phone but of course, it's been removed from whoever has me here. I turned my face away from the sunlight and saw a boy sitting on a bed beside my mat; MG. I stood up immediately. "Who are you and what do you want with me and where's my phone?"
"I should..." he replied. He said something else but I was lost in that voice, so deep and musical.
"Hmm? What did you say?" I asked as I came back from my reverie.
"You're coming from abroad, right? That's how they all are, so innocent and naive and they all fall for me, girls are really gullible," MG said relaxing back on the bed.
"I'm not gullible, MG. You shall not say that again. I'm the daughter of the CEO of..." I said as I walked closer to him and waved my finger in his face.
"Who's MG? Your abroad boyfriend?" He asked, one of his thick eyebrows higher than the other🤨
"It means mystery guy and I'm from London, dummy," I said insolently
"Are you not scared?" He asked with a smirk on his face
"No, the police will be here anytime soon and I'm sure my parents have search parties out looking for me so what am I to be scared of?"
"Fine girl, you simply do not know who and where you're dealing with. Babe, this is Lagos not abroad, police no fit find you for this hideout. Na we dey run this town so better lie down and talk to your parents when I ask for ransom," he said turned to face the other side.
I'm gonna wait till he sleeps off, then I'll sneak out. What if he has people outside? Like that boy I saw when I opened the door before. They could be outside waiting for me. I think I'll wait till it's night and then I'll sneak out of the house. Perfect.
I lay down and pretended to sleep for a while until I was sure it was very dark outside and MG was sleeping. I stood up and walked to the door. I tried to open it but it didn't bulge. Damn it! Of course, he would lock the door. I'll just try the window but to do that, I have to climb the bed. Hmmmm. Well, it's a risk I can take. I climb the bed slowly and try to open the wooden window. The wood is weak and it breaks open easily but there's a gang of boys sitting out there and smoking and I dare not climb out because they're directly below the window. What do I do? Lie down or take the risk?
"Lying down would be more advisable, princess," MG said startling me. When I looked at him, he had a small smile on those cute lips i didn't talk about, they were red, well the lower one was, the upper one was his skin colour, like sandy soil and some milk and chocolate mixed together in water.
I didn't know I said that out loud. I tried to jump down from the bed but he held my hand. I fell on top of him, there was something hard pressed on my stomach.
Was that a...😮😮 boner!! "You pervert, you have a boner?!" I scolded loudly
"No bitch. It's just an erection. I get those when I wake up," he defended
"Uhuh, yeah sure, keep telling yourself that. Why won't you let me go? My parents will track my phone."
"Your phone is in a river in Ondo state, my phone's location is set to show Edo state so nobody's going to find you anytime soon."
"What's Ondo and Edo?"
"So you don't know your state and capitals? I'm shocked. "I almost thought you were smarter than you look."
"Don't speak to me like that! I don't like this place. If daddy didn't force everyone to come to this godforsaken place in the name of finding their roots, I'd be in my room sleeping or maybe at a party or sleepover. Now I'm in this crazy place with this perv and..."
"Don't say that again, little girl"
"I'm not little. Besides, what can you do? You dare not harm me!" I was scared but happy I could boast since I am from a rich and powerful family
"I could just use you to get rid of this boner, you know," he said plainly
I gasped in shock on hearing that. This guy knows how to shut me up. I'm not a virgin but I don't plan to get raped on my first night in naija as the Nigerians called it. I came down from the bed and sat on the dirty mat.
This is so pathetic. I could have been on my bed right now instead of this ghetto area! I'm tired and I need to sleep but I won't lie on this dirty mat, it's so uncomfortable.
"MG, can I sleep on the bed while you take the mat," I gathered boldness and said. I was twisting my fingers behind my back like a little girl and I made sure to pout my lips for better effect.
He laughed and turned to face me. "Only if we can share," he said with that smirk that gets on my fucking nerves.
I gasped in shock and stared at him fo r a while weighing my options. I could sleep on the mat and be safe or the bed and be in danger of this foolish MG. I want to choose the mat but it's the worst place I've ever slept or the bed but it'll mean lying with MG. Hmmmmmm... I can't sleep on the floor either, it's so dusty. I'll take the mat.
I lay down on the mat and closed my eyes to sleep but...
