Asha tried to call her Queen and find out how she
was faring but her phone was switched off. After
a while, Asha became worried that some harm
may have befallen her friend since it was unusual
for Queen not to return early morning after
sleeping out with a man.
She decided to call again and this time around,
her call went through.
Asha: “Where are you now? You want to give me
high blood pressure abi?” she asked as soon as
Queen picked the call.
Queen: “Hey, you don’t talk to somebody’s wife
anyhow, you know. I am a married woman now”
she boasted.
Asha: “What is this one saying? Shey you don
dey craze ni? You better carry your body come
here o, no allow me change am for you”
Queen: “I am serious, I am in my husband’s
house”
Asha: “I don get it. Husband, marriage? Where is
that one coming from?”
Queen: “I am serious o, I will gist you when I
return. I need to cook for my mother in law now.
Bye!”
Asha looked at the phone after the call went off
and shook her head wondering what the problem
was with Queen.

Kelvin returned home and was surprised to find
Queen in the house, talking with his mother.
Queen: “Oh, welcome darling” she said and ran
up to hug him.
Kelvin was surprised and didn’t even know what
to say.
Mama Kelvin: “welcome my son. Your fiancee here
has been keeping me company all day. She is
such a lovely girl and a great cook too. I cannot
wait to have her as my official daughter in law”
she said.
Queen: “please go up and freshen up while I will
set the dining table”
Kelvin: “fiancee? Mum, who is the fiancée?” he
asked with surprise on his face.
Mama Kelvin: “Queen now, she is such a prized
daughter in law”
Kelvin: “I really don’t know what you people are
talking about” he said and went upstairs.
Queen: “Mummy do you see what I was telling
you about? Why does he need or put on this
attitude anything there is a third party among us?
If we get to the bed now, he will be begging me.
Me I am tired of this relationship o, I will just quit
and get another man” she lied.
Mama Kelvin: “don’t say that, my daughter. Do
you want another person to come and reap where
she did not sow? If he comes begging in the
night, allow him, once you take in like this, we
will come and ask for your hand in marriage. It is
a promise” she assured her.
Kelvin was stepping out of the bathroom when
Queen entered.
Kelvin: “And what are you still doing here? I told
you to ask the driver to drop you off at home or
get a cab with the money I left under my table.
Why haven’t you gone?” he barked as soon as
she closed the door behind her.
Queen: “Your mother” she said and paused for
effect.
“My mother? What is wrong with her?” Kelvin
asked.
Queen: “she is the reason why I am still here. She
is such a nice woman and she thinks I am your
fiancée. She wouldn’t even allow me leave her
presence. She is so adorable, I wish I can have
her for my mother in law”
Kelvin: “I don’t know what you are talking about,
all I know is that you are leaving my house this
minute and if you don’t leave, I will ask the
guards to throw you out” he threatened.
Queen: “please don’t do this. Okay, I will leave
but please come down and let us eat as a family,
that is all that your mother desires. Is that too
much to do for a woman who went through thick
and thin to raise you after your father abandoned
you?”
Kelvin: “how did you know all these” he asked
dropping the T-shirt he had picked to wear.
Queen: “she told me everything including your
refusal to get married. See, lets just pretend that
we are dating tonight and I promise you first
thing tomorrow morning, I will be gone from your
house and your life. Dinner is served, can we go
downstairs now?”
Kelvin: “as if I don’t know that women use love
portion when cooking? I am not eating” he said
moving away from her.
Queen: “your mother and I will eat out of the
same bowl of food, there is no way I would use a
love portion in it”
After some persuasion, he decided to give in to
her for the sake of his mother whom he could do
everything to please.
Mama Kelvin giggled when she saw Queen and
her son coming downstairs holding hands.
“God, I wish she would just get pregnant tonight.
All I need is a grandchild”, she soliloquized.
====
After Queen left the house the next day, she
became a regular guest at the Kelvin’s mansion
and his mother who extended her visit became
very fond of Queen. Many times she would take
the woman out for shopping and sight seeing in
town. Mama Kelvin was not the only one who was
fond of Queen, Kelvin also was getting used to her
presence because she was a great cook and did
not spare anything in making sure she prepared
delicious and mouth watering local delicacies for
him anything she went to the house.
Queen had the habit of sleeping over in the house
and weekends and she made sure she slept in the
Master’s bedroom where Kelvin slept even though
all her seductions to get him to touch her were
not yielding any results.
Queen returned home from his house to see Asha
making out with a man on their bed. As soon as
the man left, Queen walked up to her.
Queen: “babe, what was that for now? I thought
we already agreed that we will not bring men into
our house? Have you forgotten what happened to
me back then in the university?”
Asha: “It is not my fault now. You are hardly in
the house these days. Even when you come, it is
just to pick your things and leave. Do you want
me to die of boredom?”
Queen: “But you know what I am pursuing now”
she said relaxing.
Asha: “You are pursuing marriage but till today, I
am yet to see your invitation card. In fact, I am
yet to see an engagement ring in your hand”
Queen: “I already explained everything to you. Do
you know that till today Kelvin has not touched
me? If only we will make love, I know that he
would fall in love with me. You know that I am a
professional in that department, now” she said.
Asha: “getting him to make love to you is not a
problem. Since he will not do it of his own accord,
we will make him do it” she said.
Queen: “How do you mean” she asked, her hopes
rising again.
Asha: “Just leave everything for me, girl. I got
this” she beamed.
