PART ONE
I stay in a compound of 6 tenants minus the
landlord and his family. My landlady is an
Ijaw woman, an average bodied
woman with a nice set of racks. She has 1 boy
and 3 girls. All are grown. This woman seem to
be the heart of our problem in the compound.
Her husband is
a cool man who overlooks simple things but
this woman will fight for everything to make
sure everyone understands that it is her
compound. Everything.....water, parking space,
light bill, etc. I never really found myself in such
a situation with her cos I always tried to keep to
myself. And she's got pretty daughters that
benefitted generously of her body type but I do
not talk to them other than the regular
greetings. Though I know that they like greeting
me afterall i'm a young guy living in their
compound but I seem not to want to be chatty
with them. I like two of the daughters especially
the eldest who's a couple of years older than I
am, then the last daughter as well. I know they
like me too cos I've seen their glances and the
way they linger around when they greet me or
come to my house for something, hoping we
might strike a conversation.

One day, I parked my car in the landlady's
parking spot and travelled cos it came up
suddenly. I was away for 5 days before I went
back home. I just got back that afternoon and
met an empty and quiet compound. I put on the
tv, took off my clothes and was about to hit the
shower when a knock on the door redirected my
route. I opened it and saw the least person I
expected to see...... (you guessed right), my
landlady. She wore a blue blouse and a wrapper
around her waist. Surprised, greeted her
and she greeted me back and asked simply
"why did you park your car in my space when
you knew you were travelling?" I told her that I
was sorry and that the journey came up
abruptly, and that I was in such a rush to even
think. I could see that she was furious and I
added more soothingly that I'd move it right
away. She seemed satisfied with my apology
and smiled, then asked me how my trip was
and she hope I brought something back. I told
her that the trip was fine and that I did (even
though I didn't have anyone in mind when I
bought the fruits and other stuff i came back
with). I invited her in and headed straight to the
kitchen while she waited in the sitting room. I
had just come back with some of the items in
my hand when she smiled and said "you boys
and bad bad films. See the kain film you dey
watch". I turned and stared at the tv, they were
showing an er0tic scene explicitly. I smiled and
apologized, then walked towards the tv to turn it
off when she said "are you a kid? you can
watch anything you want". I obliged her and
replied "yes. but I no wan make konji hold me
later". She laughed and asked me how it could
be when I have a lot of girlfriends. Then went
on "e be like say you sabi, i dey hear them dey
shout sometimes". I couldn't believe what is
happening. I
couldn't believe that I am having this
conversation with this woman. She's hitting on
me. PART TWO COMING SOON
