Adaobi 1

My village was a relatively small one with a population of about 1700 people. My father was a high ranking member of the Igwe's cabinet and as such has just been invited to come to the village for an important event. The governor of our state was coming into the village for a visit and also to take the hand of a daughter of the land in marriage. It was indeed a great occasion which required the presence of every notable member of my village.
I had managed to convince my father to take me along with him to the village, not really because i wanted to meet the governor, no, that was far from my concern. My sole reason was based on a matter of the heart. A girl i had fallen in love with the last time i visited my village which was over 2 years ago.

Her name was Adaobi and she was the only daughter of her parents, of course she had 3 other brothers who were all her elders. I fondly called her Ada.

I met Ada when my family visited my village for the Christmas celebration back in 2014. I had gone to the village borehole to fetch drinking water for our house. Having come back from the "CITY" i made sure i set a class between me and the regular villagers. With earphones in my ear and one jerrycan, i set out for the borehole which was a short distance from our house. I arrived at the borehole to meet a short line of gallons. I had to put mine in line and stand aside. I kept myself busy with my phone, chatting away on 2go with my friends. Whatsapp hadn't become popular back then. The sun was hitting hard and i had always been uncomfortable being under the sun. Ada happened to be the owner of the gallons in front of mine. I walked up to her and Touched her. She looked up at me and i was dazzled by the beauty in her face and her eyes were out of this world. Her bushy eyelashes were dope enough to put the fixed ones to shame and her finely cut, bushy eyebrows needed no eye pencil.
She was Ebony black in complexion and her skin shone like a polished Italian leather shoe.

"Please help me fetch that gallon behind yours when you are done fetching yours, i will be under that tree" i said to her looking her straight in the eyes.. She didn't say a word, she just nodded, i murmured my thanks and left to hide from the sun under the tree.

Sitting under the tree, i decided to take in the rest of the details. She was wearing a black gown which hugged her body and outlined all the features of her body perfectly. Her figure was the shape of an hour glass, her breasts were full and stood firm while her hips wasn't too much or too small, they were perfect with her ass curving out moderately. Her sumptuous legs were a bit bowed which were really cute on her.

She fetched her cans, fetched mine and motioned to me to come for it. Soon we were on our way home. She had two of her cans inside a wheelbarrow she was pushing. I was dragging mine along with my hand, switching it from left to right at intervals. She walked before me and i followed. I watched as her hips swayed from side to side and couldn't take it anymore. I increased my pace and caught up with her.
"Hey, wait" i called her and she stopped, dropped her wheelbarrow and faced me.
"which side are you going to" i asked and dropped my gallon. She pointed in the direction of my house. I dropped my gallon into her wheelbarrow and took over the pushing myself while she walked beside me.
"So, don't you talk? " i asked her as we moved. She smiled revealing her dimples and i fell in love with her more.
" I talk" she replied still smiling and looking ahead of us. She didn't try looking at me.
"So you are shy then" i continued while looking at her.
"I don't know" she said. We continued walking in silence. We soon got to the gate to our backyard. I stopped and removed my gallon from the barrow. She took back the handle and was about to leave.
"What's your name" i asked her.
"Adaobi" she replied.
"Can you show me your house? " i asked her.
"It's just down there" she said pointing further down the path.
"okay, Ada can i see you again" i asked her.
"Why do you want to see me?"
"Nothing, i would just love to"
"Okay, you will see me when the time comes" she said still not looking at me.
"Hmm, can I help you push the barrow down to your house?" i asked
"No" she retorted.
"why?"
"my parents won't like it and i really have to go, they will be waiting for me" she said picking up her wheelbarrow.
"Okay, i will come looking for you, bye" i told her and picked my gallon of water.
"Okay o, goodbye" she said and wheeled off her barrow as I went inside our house.
