When I asked Iyke who Gift is, all he said was, ‘Forget her, she’s non important.’
Over the years, many things has kept me glued to Iyke.
First it was his persistence. I liked that he continued to chase me for weeks despite my well-designed stunts. And, maxim the truth, Iyke isn’t thence bad-looking, if at all.
When nosotros finally started dating, I liked that he never bothered me well-nigh chores too such whenever I visited.
Iyke is non the guy to plough y'all into a maid because y'all are dating him. Believe me, I’ve had experiences before. In Iyke’s house, I create when I desire to create too I’ve never washed his clothes. He has washed mine though.
Don’t stare at me jor! It was once, a long fourth dimension ago. I was sick.
Many months into the relationship, I started to similar that he was faithful. Seemed faithful—I mean, y'all never tin post away actually tell.
But truth is, I’ve never caught Iyke inwards something suspicious. In fact he e'er turned my suspicions to stupidity at the end. He never locked his telephone too easily gave out his passwords. Sometimes I call upwards Iyke lived besides openly. But too then it was i of those things amongst us that nosotros establish zippo absolutely satisfying. In every province of affairs nosotros must e'er establish something to complain about.
Because of all this I decided to allow the Gift affair go. For the meantime anyway. I demand to larn to a greater extent than show earlier I launch my illustration fully.
On Mon evening, Iyke called me. With phonation total of glee, he announced that he has booked us ii tickets to Fifty Shades of Grey.
Yes, I was amid the few lucky Nigerians to consider the semi-porn earlier its tear-provoking ban.
Okay, first, I never read the book. First reason, I don’t similar reading books that bring parts. Secondly, the alone daughter I hated at operate called the mass her favourite. She oftentimes gear upwards Fifty Shades of Grey discussions at the constituent which she headed.
‘Glo, I didn’t remove heed y'all scream?’ Iyke said over the phone.
‘Why should I?’
‘I simply said I booked tickets to Fifty Shades of Grey!’
‘So?’
‘So? How? Isn’t that the moving painting that is getting y'all ladies high similar Origin at the moment?’
I laughed. ‘You non serious. When is the moving painting showing?’
‘9:15.’
‘A.M or P.M?’
‘P.M na. Nawa y'all o, moving painting dey demonstrate for morning time on Tuesday?’
‘So what fourth dimension are nosotros going to return?’
‘We should last dorsum earlier 12. You tin post away larn your stuff, y'all slumber at my place.’
‘Hmm.’
‘Yes. Meet me at the mall earlier 8p.m.’
‘Who told y'all I bring agreed to larn amongst you?’
‘Suit yourself then. Do y'all know how many girls that volition transcend away to bring the ticket correct now?’ He hung up.
Don’t he e'er create that!
I idea well-nigh giving him the surprise of his life past times non showing up, but the temptation of seeing Grey was quite strong. It was the same feeling I had the outset fourth dimension I saw the reviews on Daniel’s book—Ola too couldn’t resist reading it the next day.
By 8 p.m. on Tuesday, I was already all dressed too laid to hitting the road. I was at Leisure Mall, Surulere, some minutes to 9.
Stepping into the mall, I pulled out my telephone too dialled Iyke.
He took the telephone telephone at the outset band too said, ‘Look up, bitch!’
I looked upwards too saw him, inclined to the metallic fence, smile similar a fifty-year-old adult woman that finally simply got engaged.
Escalating up, he came too took my hand. Seeing other ladies walking about, clipped to their boyfriends too man-friends, I wished Iyke kissed me.
That would post out simply the correct annotation for me.
But Ichie Iyke is e'er shy inwards public. I used to similar that well-nigh him too, till I saw his other side.
Seeing the innocent human face upwards he e'er wore inwards public, y'all never could believe he would last able to create the things he does inwards the bedroom.
He gave me my ticket too a bottle of Fanta. Checking his wrist watch, he said, ‘We bring less than 10 minutes, let’s simply hang around here.’
‘Okay.’
I looked round, many people were walking well-nigh amongst their white slips of paper. You could tell simply how much they cherished it from the means they were asset it.
Some distance away, a sizable crowd stood earlier the ticket seller. From the crowd, I heard a daughter cry, ‘Oh my God! Finished? Not again! What am I going to create now?’
‘Let’s consider The Dazzling Mirage instead,’ some other daughter standing beside her said inwards a calm voice.
‘Which mirage? Let’s larn jor.’
As I watched them slide down, the girl’s human face upwards thence crumpled you’d call upwards she would outburst into tears anytime, I felt similar calling her dorsum to give her my ain ticket.
Iyke checked his lookout adult man again. ‘5 minutes more,’ he announced.
‘No popcorn?’ I asked him.
‘Hmm. You won’t believe I bought these tickets for 1200 each.’
I shook my head. Reaching into my purse, I pulled out a 500 naira annotation too gave him.
Soon he returned amongst ii newspaper jars filled amongst smile corns.
Almost at the same time, people started to file in. Iyke too I speedily joined the line.
Inside the theatre, Iyke headed directly to the back, pulling me along. He e'er similar to sit down at the back. To his luck, nosotros sat on the ii seats at the most extreme right.
It took well-nigh 10 minutes earlier the moving painting finally started, after a serial of adverts. The Nigerian moving painting adverts looked similar behind-the-scenes clips.
Finally the lights went off too and then dorsum on amongst a hammering sound. The moving painting was on. Fifty Shades of Grey was on. I could experience everyone conform to the suspense.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 brusque fourth dimension too the opening credits were over too the pictures came on.
In the room, Ana was all dressed too jittery equally she was well-nigh leaving to the Grey House, where she’d stand upwards inwards for her sick roomie inwards the interview amongst Christian Grey, the hottest immature billionaire inwards town.
To me, that drinking glass tower was the alone thing worth seeing inwards that movie. Okay, I also liked the constituent when Christian surprised Ana amongst the car, that scene filled me amongst cracking longing.
Okay, I cannot start to depict all the scenes, but really, in that location was zippo thence captivating well-nigh Fifty Shades of Grey.
First, the sadomasochism dearest story was besides shallow too the dearest scenes were cold. To me, at least. The entire plot is besides linear. Life is rarely similar that.
It powerfulness last different amongst the mass though, because your imagination has a means of placing everything inwards perfect order.
But inwards a movie, y'all bring to follow what y'all see. My outset hiss came when Ana savage piece entering Christian’s office.
Come on! She simply opened the door too dropped to the floor. Not similar she tripped on anything or something. Not really good done jor.
Then i time to a greater extent than the Christian guy looked besides innocent for the role. He came across to me to a greater extent than equally a submissive than a dominant. I tin post away consider Hugh Jackman doing a hotter job.
Okay, i time to a greater extent than I would state that I did non read the mass to know the author’s truthful prototype of Christian Grey.
The biggest disappointment came when the moving painting ended abruptly amongst the lift closure.
Ana. Christian. And the lift slid closed too the moving painting ended. Shoo! Heard in that location is going to last a sequel though, but I wasn’t that stuck that I’d state I can’t wait.
It wasn’t simply me that felt insulted amongst the precipitous cease though. The hall was filled hisses, groans too mutterings of disappointment equally people started to leave.
‘Did y'all bask the movie?’ I asked Iyke equally nosotros got outside. He hasn’t said a tidings since.
Iyke said nothing, alone staring straight-front equally nosotros walked out of the mall. Something is wrong, I know it. I could experience it.

The New Shade Of Iyke
It wasn’t till nosotros were inwards the cab that Iyke finally spoke to me. He’d set his arm circular me and, giving my shoulder a calorie-free shake, said, ‘How you?’
‘Fine,’ I said.
‘Did y'all bask the movie?’ he asked.
‘And did I non inquire y'all that enquiry some minutes agone too y'all kept quiet?’
He shook my shoulder lightly again. ‘Forgive me, a lot on my mind.’
I gave him a look. ‘Like what too what?’
‘I volition tell y'all later.’
The taxi human being stopped us inwards front end of the gate too came downwards amongst us.
As usual, the gate was broad open. Ever since I started visiting Iyke, I’ve never met that gate closed once.
‘Oga, add together something na, y'all know state this house far,’ the taxi driver said equally he collected the ii notes Iyke extended to him. He was a brusque human being inwards a long native attire.
‘Let’s go,’ Iyke said to me, rudely ignoring the man.
Inside the room, Iyke kissed me lightly on the forehead too walked into the bathroom.
I walked into the kitchen too made myself a loving cup of tea. The ii packs of crackers biscuits I bought in conclusion calendar week were all the same inwards the fridge, same spot I had dropped them. Iyke volition non touching them less they were made amongst alcohol.
I picked i of the yellowish packs too carried my tea to the sitting room.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few minutes later, Iyke was done bathing. As amongst his tradition whenever nosotros were lonely inwards the house, he was out inwards the sitting room naked. His gender looked blacker, too bigger, inwards the weak bulb light.
Low voltage is a major feature of Iyke’s Street.
‘Did y'all brand me a cup?’ he asked, stopping inwards front end of me.
‘Did y'all inquire me to?’ I raised the tea loving cup to my mouth.
Iyke extended his manus too took the loving cup from me. He took a careful sip too handed it back. ‘Must y'all allow the H2O to hitting a G degrees earlier making the tea?’ His phonation trailed him equally he started toward the room.
I didn’t give a response. My attending was at nowadays on his circular dark donkey equally he pranced into the room. Many times I’ve wondered how something thence nighttime too difficult could last thence attracting.
Many minutes later, I’ve had my ain bath too nosotros were on the bed when Iyke asked, ‘How would y'all experience if I’m the guy inwards that movie?’
‘Which movie?’
‘Fifty Shades.’
‘How?’
Iyke was soundless for a while. Then, turning to human face upwards me, he said, ‘I mean, create some ladies bask that?’
‘Enjoy what?’
‘Been whipped too tortured during sex.’
‘No. Any lady that’d bask something similar that is twisted.’
Another pause.
‘What if a guy enjoys it?’
‘Enjoys beingness tortured?’
‘No. Being the torturer.’
‘Still twisted.’
‘You actually call upwards that?’
‘I know that. Sex is an art, I agree, but in that location are boundaries to what tin post away give pleasure. Gaining pleasance from hurting is perverted. ’
‘So that’s what y'all think?’
‘Yes. And pretty much whatsoever normal soul too.’
Iyke gave a pocket-size hum. ‘So what happens to your, ‘you actually don’t know what goes on inwards their mind’ sermon?’
‘What?’
‘That’s just what y'all said the twenty-four hr menses nosotros were disceptation well-nigh gays too lesbians.’
‘Iyke, abeg that i is different.’
‘Really? Are they non perverted ways to pleasance all the same?’
‘I don’t call upwards so. Even if they are, who cares! There are thence many nasty things that larn on inwards people’s bedroom.’
‘So it’s actually none of your business, right?’
‘Exactly.’
Iyke touched my nose. ‘Finally nosotros arrived on the same page.’
‘Whatever! Can nosotros at nowadays sleep?’ I grabbed i of the pillows too curled circular it.
‘Taa, slumber what!’ Iyke gripped the pillow too flung it away.
He started to buss me.
Only a few seconds too I was already swallowed upwards inwards the heat. Iyke has my telephone commutation similar that.
Some distance into the action, Iyke pushed my ii arms upwards too held them downwards higher upwards my head.
That was new. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 constituent of my senses all of a precipitous cleared out.
It was from Fifty Shades of Grey. I struck it out immediately.
I freed myself from Iyke.
‘What now?’ Iyke said, pretending non to know.
‘I am non Ana, my friend,’ I told him.
‘What?’ He snorted. ‘Wait, y'all call upwards I’m practising what nosotros saw inwards the movie?’
‘Iyke!’ My eyes were broad at him. ‘You simply held my hands higher upwards my head, what create y'all telephone telephone that?’
‘Glo, come upwards on, haven’t I e'er been doing that?’
‘No, y'all haven’t.’
‘Okay, I’m sorry.’
I clucked.
‘Sorry na!’ He came unopen too held me.
In a affair of seconds nosotros were swept away inwards the rut again. But I did non allow myself larn fully immersed this time. I kept a constituent of me alert, ready to option out anything unlikely. Anything that was new.
To both our luck, Iyke behaved.
The Fri of that week, I was at operate when Iyke called to tell me Fifty Shades of Grey has been banned past times the Nigerian Censors Board. He sounded actually excited that nosotros did consider the moving painting earlier the startling ban. I was sort of excited too.
At to the lowest degree I was certain the Fifty Shades of Grey Madam at our constituent volition non bring the adventure to consider it again. No wonder she’s non been her sprightly self since morning.
I didn’t larn to Iyke’s solid that Fri equally I promised. I went on Sat evening.
Iyke was away when I opened the door. He’d in all likelihood gone to the stadium to gym.
Inside the room, I establish the novel shirt he bought.
Another brown. I shook my caput equally I ran my manus over the fabric. Iyke’s affection for ho-hum colours embarrasses me. It’s e'er brown, black, or brown-black.
Beside the shirt, I saw the parcel of coin he left. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 newspaper on which he’d scribbled downwards ‘For Soup’ inwards his sloppy manus was on the pile of cash.
I picked it too counted it.
It was 10K. 10K for soup? Obviously salary done show.
I was turning to larn out when I caught sight of something else from the corner of my left eye.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 bluish nylon bag. It was at the far cease of the bed, sandwiched betwixt the ii plump pillows.
I reached for it too scooped it up. Opening it, I saw the weird equipment it contained.
I brought out the pair. They were similar cuffs, but leather, joined together past times a pocket-size chain. The within of the lock compartment was soft amongst a furry attachment.
As I turned the objects inwards my hand, I searched my heed for whatever argue Iyke would purchase such a weird equipment.
Had he owned a dog, I would bring speedily guessed it was something for the dog.
It wasn’t long that an prototype flitted through my mind. An prototype that made my jaw drop.
Fifty Shades of Grey.
It was something inspired past times Fifty Shades of Grey. Something to cuff my hands to the bed with. I became certain inwards a affair of seconds.
My breast rose too fell. Iyke volition come upwards dorsum too consider Fifty Shades of War.
