Chapter 8
Fumn woke up late. The morning rays of the sun was already peeking from behind the closed silk curtains. She yawned loudly and stretched before patting the bed to see if Kevwe was still asleep.
When Fumn found her side empty, her eyelids fluttered open to see that her favorite sneakers on the shoe rack was missing. There went her chance of them settling things, she thought sadly.
Fumn kicked the bed covers away from her body and unplugged her phone from charge. It was already eight. Fumn knew why she didn't wake up on time was because she slept late the night before and she'd been so exhausted.
Fumn rubbed her eyes to remove any iota of sleep, she missed her first class already.
She wasn't about to miss the second that was by ten. Fumn hurried to the bathroom and turned on the tap but water wasn't rushing. She groaned, stamping her foot on the tiled floor.
She had to walk downstairs to fetch two buckets. Fumn quickly changed from her towel into a boxer short and a bra top that showed off her flat tummy. She grabbed the buckets from the bathroom and raced out of the room. When she reached the base of the stairs, she spotted a long queue of buckets.
Fumn swore under her breath. She had only one option. And that was to collect water from Ozo. Fumn dropped her buckets in front of his door and sighed heavily before knocking. She shuffled her feet watching a few of her lodge mates carrying their bucket of water to their rooms.
Fumn shouted Ozo's name and was about peeping through his window to see if he was around when she heard a lock click. She perused Ozo's sleepy appearance and muttered her apologies for disturbing.
"I just need water to bathe biko," Fumn pleaded. "I am late for class."
Ozo eyed her in a leery way, wanting to say something but he restrained himself. He collected the buckets from Fumn's outstretched arm and left the door ajar. Fumnaya thinking he was inviting her in, stepped in and sat on a couch by the corner.
Her eyes widened when she saw a girl just rousing from sleep, Ozo's warm blanket covering her naked form. When Ozo came out of his backyard with the now full buckets, he dropped them carefully on his rug. Ozo cleared his throat at Fumn's surprised expression and purposely leaned in to plant a kiss on the girl's plump lips.
She lip locked him and held his muscular arms not wanting to let go so soon. Ozo placed one last enticing kiss on her mouth and turned to see Fumn's reaction. But she was already out the door with her bucket.
Once Fumn was back in her room, she breathed deeply to keep from breaking down in tears. Seeing Ozo spending the night with a lady reminded her of the time she caught her boyfriend, Rex, having sex with one of her course mates on his bed. That was before the whole matter escalated.
Fumn was someone that was fiercely protective of her own. She did fitness exercises at the gym to keep in shape, she ate healthy, she cooked and cleaned, she made love to Rex whenever he demanded for it so she didn't expect him to turn the tables on her and fuck someone else.
Fumn recalled the heavy quarrel, she remembered receiving a blow that made her lips split. Rex landed her a hard slap for shouting on him because he had sex with another lady. He didn't see a bid deal about it. Rex didn't see the big deal about the way Fumn was devoted to him.
Despite the way other rich niggas fought to be with her, she never reasoned them. But Rex took her for granted time and time again. Each time they had issues (which was regularly), they separated for a week and after, he would come crawling on his knees begging for her forgiveness.
By then, Fumn was done nursing the injuries he'd given her. She accepted him wholeheartedly because of the blind love she had for him. The final straw was when he sent her a heart breaking text on lover's day when she'd been excited to visit him. Finally, the stressful week of course presentations were over and she had the whole weekend to spend with her boyfriend.
She showered and dressed in a red backless gown that showcased her bountiful bosom. She'd already slipped into her shoes when her phone pinged. She refused to believe Rex was for real so she placed a call through to him but he didn't reply. She kept on calling until she realized that Rex had blocked her line.
Fumn was shell shocked. She silently decided it was best she go over to his house so he could explain to her what he meant by them being over. With shaky legs, she hailed a taxi that took her to his apartment. She'd not been expecting to see what she saw that evening.
Peeping through an unsuspecting crack in the window, she sighted a girl sucking off Rex's cock and another one kissing him seductively on the lips. She gasped as her boyfriend threw his head back and laughed. Fumn couldn't take it, she ran out before anyone could discover her.
Rex was the guy she'd loved for a year and willingly given her virginity to. But he showed her that it meant nothing to him, just like their relationship.
Fumn cried out in anguish. Everytime she remembered, it was harder to forget. She placed her head between her knees as more tears cascaded down her cheeks.
Fumn heard someone knocking her room door calling out to her but she didn't move. She wasn't able to. Her body was trembling and her teeth was chattering.
Ozo kept on shouting Fumn's name and banging the door.
Veekie had once told Fumn on phone as she gushed about Rex that the guy was no good for her. Fumn frowned at her. How could she say that her boyfriend that loved her didn't deserve her?
She argued pointlessly until Veekie eventually conceded and the topic was abandoned.
Fumn struggled to get off the floor and grunted at the painstaking effort. Her head felt like there were dozens of needles piercing through. She wiped her dried tears with the back of her hand and unlocked the door.
Ozo enfolded Fumn in a tight embrace and kissed her hair softly.
"I am so sorry baby, I shouldn't have done that. I was insensitive to your feelings. I hurt you because of my selfishness. Please forgive me."
Fumn held onto Ozo as if her life depended on it. He pulled her weak body away from him and claimed her lips hungrily. Fumn gave in, relishing the feel of Ozo's teeth on her bottom lip, seeking more entry into her crevice.
Fumn laughed shakily as one of their neighbors passed by and winked suggestively. She slapped Ozo's broad chest and swatted his arm.
"We are cool now. I got to get to school Oz. I am so late." Fumn slowly retreated against her will.
"If I let you go, will you tell me the reason why you were crying?" Ozo leaned in overshadowing her doorway with his bulk.
"Yes, sure." Fumn sniffed. Ozo narrowed his eyes looking at Fumn closely. He pretended to think about her answer before he nodded and stepped back.
Fumn waved at him and closed the door, her knees almost buckling underneath her.
