Chereads / Her mother's daughter / Chapter 7 - July

Chapter 7 - July

We always had extra lessons on Saturday in Senior class,I always go because this was the only time I had to meet with Segun.I will go to his place right after the classes and I'll be with him until it was time to go home in the evening and everyone at home automatically thinks I'm coming from school.Segun's dad is late,it was just his mom struggling to pay his school fees and see him through school.I really felt for him and I was his comfort and soon enough,I started bringing sneaking foodstuff from home once in a while and I started giving Segun.We were also selling Kerosene at home then,I'll take a bottle along unknown to anybody in the house and take it to Segun because I knew he was struggling to survive and feed in school.

Segun never knew I sneaked stuff from home just to give him,i always tell him when he ask that my Mum always send foodstuff to our neighbor's son who happen to be in his school and that I always take out of it to give him.We always have foodstuff at home remember?

Mum retired meritoriously from service and a send off party was organized by the staff,friends and well wishers came to celebrate with us and she received alot of gifts because she was good to everyone.Some staff were crying because Mum was the one who always spoke for them and never allowed them to be cheated.We took pictures and the event was recorded by a videoman and it was a great success.

My relationship with Segun didn't affect my academics,neither did my phone affect or distract me.I always hear my classmates talk about their boyfriends,the things they've done together,the places they've been too and some were so raw that they kept talking about their intimate moments.I never said anything but I was always listening to their talks and of course,I read novels such as Harlequin,M and B and the likes so I know about romance and sex.Segun began to want more than the hugs,kisses and started demanding for sex when I was around 17 years old and I was still a Virgin.I told him I can't have sex with him just yet and I had to lie to him that I was a Sickle Cell patient and I was too weak to engage in such.Segun never forced himself on me,he understood and he didn't pressure me further,but that was when we began drifting apart because he started looking for sexual satisfaction elsewhere.Segun was a gentleman,he was always making sure I was comfortable and I remember he was always cooking for me.Now that I think of it,I only boiled rice all through the time we were together and it was never an issue for him.

I finished secondary school and Segun was done with University at this time but I still never had sex with him and I've learnt to let go when I discovered he was cheating on me and the love wasn't as strong the way it used to be.He traveled back to his state after he graduated and I was enrolled into a fashion school by Mum immediately I finished secondary school.

Apart from the fact that I wasn't ready to have sex with him,Segun was a Muslim and I knew it couldn't work because my Mum would never allow it.I only enjoyed his company and I wanted to be a sort of strength to him and see him become a big and successful young man who will take care of his aged mum who did all she could to send him to school all by herself.
