SEARCHING FOR JOHNNY 3 (fiction)

  Hmmmm! That feels really good. Just a little bit to the left, now right. I’m almost there. Oh this is it. Dear God! This is.....What the fuck?

  Tessa, rearrange fast.

‘No work today?’

‘Mum, you can’t just enter my room like that now.’

  God, please don’t let her see James. I’d do hundred Hail Mary’s. I’ll even sweep the church for a month. This woman should go now. She’s still standing there, looking at me suspiciously.

‘What?’

‘You look feverish. Tessa are you sick?’

  Is she reaching out to tuck me in? James!

‘No! I’m fine mummy. I slept late that’s why.’

‘Nne, you work too hard. Let me warm the leftover pepper soup for you.’

‘Mum don’t stress yourself.’

  Why is she laughing?

‘If I don’t take care of you, is it your dead father I’ll take care of?’

‘Mummy!’

‘Don’t move. I’ll be back with the soup.’

  Pheeew! That was close. I love mum to bits but she has a problem with boundaries. I can just imagine her reaction if she’d seen James, my giant dildo inside me as she opened the door. (Laugh). Thank God for bed sheets and duvets.

  I’d agreed with my besties; Uzo and Kels, to hold on for the right guy. Well, doesn’t mean I can’t have sex any other way. A dildo isn’t a man. Is using a dildo, fornication? Nah! It isn’t a person, no sin here. Now, where was I? This battery better not die on me today.

That feels.....Not again!

  My virginal sister, arms akimbo, disapproving look on her face staring down at me.

‘Is it that everyone in this house has a problem with knocking?’ I thundered as I dove for cover.

‘Tessa, you shouldn’t use that demonic thing.’

  Is she about to cry?

‘What demonic thing?’

  Let’s see if she can say the name.

‘That thing!’ She pointed at James.

‘What thing Joan?’

Ok, Tessa, no laugh. So, because person na virgin, im no fit call Peepee, Penis, Toto, Junior, Dick...Tessa, concentrate.

‘Can’t you say it?’

‘That disgusting thing!’

  Ok, time to push. Let me put it in my mouth. If it was possible for Joan to have a heart attack at twenty-seven, she just did.

‘Tessa!!!!!’

  The door swung open at her shrieking. Mum dropped the pepper soup on seeing me. Chai! What lie do I tell now?

                            ******************************************

‘Theresa!’

That’s my, you’re in trouble name.

‘Yes ma.’

  I use ma when I know, I’m in trouble.

‘What was that thing in your mouth?’

  We gather round the dining table whenever anyone’s in trouble. If I could slap Joan without arousing suspicion, I for brush am teytey. See her eyes like cat own. I’m sure she’s dying to see how I get out of this. My mum still thinks I’m a virgin.

‘Theresa, I’m talking to you.’

  Mum looks prettier angry. How come I’ve never noticed?

‘Mum, it’s her thing?’

‘Thing for?’ my mum asked.

‘It’s my cheek massager.’

  If Joan doesn’t close her shocked mouth, I swear, I’ll slap her for real.

‘Cheek massager kwa?’

‘Yes mum. Remember I told you I was tired. I had pains round my tooth and my cheeks hurt, so it helps with the pain.’

  Hmmm! If my mum, knew what she’s inspecting all over was the oyibo version of a penis that can do things (laugh).

‘Don’t put it in your mouth!’ Joan screamed.

‘Mum, it can’t be shared.’

‘Ehen!’

‘Yes ma!’ Joan and I replied.

‘It’s like a toothbrush, it can’t be shared.’ I added

‘Why does it look like a man’s organ?’

  Mum try pass Joan sef.

‘You know this oyibo people can be funny.’

  We laughed different shades of laughter. Lol!

‘In that case, buy me one for Father Sixtus. His toothache......’

  Ok, I’m in my head again and I’ve zoned out. Joan looks like she’s about to puke. Dear God, what will be the headline:  “REV FR. CAUGHT WITH DILDO IN MOUTH, CALLS IT CHEEK MASSAGER”

Tessa, think, think.

‘It’s out of stock! Joan to the rescue.

‘Yes mum, it is. They were checking the reception in the Nigerian market.’ I buttressed.

‘Ok dear. Joan, no work?’

‘It’s public hol.’

‘Good! Tessa, go back to bed, let me make fresh pepper soup.’

Ok, let me warn Joan with my eyes before she spills. She’ll get the message. Perfect! She did.

  I’m taking a sex break on men and now my James is on one too. There’s Mr Right out there, but where?
