MY QUARANTINE ESCAPADE

Watching TV wasn't even helping anymore.
All channels were focused on the pandemic.

I wasn't really scared since I haven't seen anyone with the virus, then the virus ain't real.
After all, things that originate from China never last.

My boredom increased when electricity ceased all of a sudden, leaving me staring at a blank television screen.

Frustrated and tired, I just remained in my resting position and my thoughts roamed far and wide.

I could not continue to live life in this manner, if not I would die of stress or boredom before the Corona Virus would even show up.

I picked up my phone to reach out to my girlfriend. Sorry, My Ex-girlfriend.
She broke up with me when she could no longer cope with my financial instability and constant need for sexual exploits.

I have been trying to call her for days now but she never responds.
Even tho she accidentally answers and finds out it's me, she would end the call.

Pretty sad right?
No need to pity me. I deserve what actually hit me.
I messed up her tender heart.

As I couldn't get to her, I sat on my deformed couch thinking of the next line of action. I needed so much companionship at the moment and not just any type.

It has to be a male and female kind of relationship.
I wasn't in the place to fall in love, I just wanted temporary joy.

I began to go through my contacts to see if I could reach out to anyone but every person I came across either has things to do or won't bother answering me.

I kept on scrolling till I came across one name that rang a bell. Linda.
But where did I know her from?

I remember now.
She was the hot receptionist that worked at the prestigious De-Castle Hotel.
A perfect blond.

She had a job, a good pay attached to it and a side hustle to ensure she had no financial problems.

I had to contact her and see if I could get her to pay me a visit.
Maybe today won't be so bad after all.

It was getting to evening, so she should be done with her shift.

I practiced my punchlines and clown speech in my head to get her to laugh and giggle, because girls like sarcastic guys according to facts I came across on Twitter.

I called her and she picked immediately.
She didn't even know me for a start, which means my phone number wasn't stored on her phone.

If I had money or probably I was influential, she would store my digits with an emoji attached to it.

I told her my nickname, and I was a close friend to her co-worker Dominic.
Her tone was so strict as she was confused.
She emphasized that she does not know anyone that goes by such name.

How do I expect her to recall a low-key broke nigga like me?
At this point, I just wanted to end the call and say it's a wrong number.
But real men don't give up.

Pushing through, I kept on trying to help her remember my existence.
But she began to lose interest, and told me to talk faster as she had important things to do.

Judging from her tone, she began to get bored with the conversation.
Maybe women were never my field of speciality.

Stuttering out of fear, I began to mention my full name like I was undergoing an interview.

Then her memory jiggered and she remembered.

She began to laugh and asked whether I'm the Dan that is known for fries and cooking.
I said, "Of course".

I had limited credit and she would want to go into long details so I have to hit the nail on the head.
This wasn't the time for long talk.

Coming out plain, I said I could take her stress away if she could visit me and probably spend the night today.

There was drop dead silence for some seconds.
She didn't talk neither did I.

Did I just mess up?
Probably I should have continued with the pleasantries at least than going straight to the point.

In a sad tone, she replied that she won't be able to make it, and she is sorry.

My last lifeline just got exhausted.
I guess I'll just remain horny and lonely. Probably, she has important things to handle or stuff like that.

Disappointed but concealing it, I said it's okay and.......
But she suddenly cut in and said how about I host her the next day.
That she'll be free.

Of course, fantastic.
I would ensure she gets all types of hosting.
The agreement was sealed and before I could utter another word, I ran out of credit.

Twas embarrassing but I just succeeded. I felt so happy like I just successfully completed a heist.

Preparations for the next day have to be in place.
Picking up my ATM card, I headed to the bank and withdrew almost all the money I had.

She deserves a mind blowing treat.

Not trying to brag, but I'm one of the best cooks to exist in my hometown and the ladies loved me for that.

I decided to cook for her and we would both eat at my place because if I had any intentions to carry her out, it would end in premium tears.

I would run out of money due to the fact that everything is very expensive during this pandemic period.

Quickly withdrawing the money, I headed to the local market and purchased the appropriate food stuff that I would prepare.

My apartment was quite a mess and it hasn't been cleaned in days. But as Linda is going to come tomorrow, she can't stay in an untidy environment.

Evening was dawning close so I had to do the finishing up touches in my parlour and mostly the BEDROOM.
That's where the acrobatic display goes down.

Later in the night, I went online to text her to find out how I was gonna plan the day.

We began the conversation and I began to ask questions about her life and the rest which included her job, siblings, friends and HER BOYFRIEND.

She told me to keep her boyfriend out of the conversation.
It is pretty suspicious so I dug deeper to know if I'm moving on the right path.

She replied that they had issues and he broke up.
We are both hurt emotionally, that's nice.
I began to console her and indirectly brought a smile on her face.

We talked and talked and she said she would like to spend almost the whole day with me.
That she loves the way I care about her welfare.
Care indeed.

The long awaited day finally came.

She wore a gown which brought out the perfect curves that God bestowed upon her.
Her hair was neatly packed and she didn't have much makeup on.
She was perfecto.

I gave her a hug which she welcomed so calmly.
She smiled at me and said, "I'm here, Dan".

Tossing some epistles I got from Google, she was mesmerized.
Her smile was broad and she blushed real good.
It seems the compliments did really sink in.
All thanks to Google.

So I showed her the way inside, while I quickly packaged my signature dish.

Then we sat down to relax.
We discussed about her job and she said it was very smooth and sleek.

She emphasized how Foreigners come from outside the country to lodge in there and she would receive huge tips from them.
She was even crushing on one of them.

Still not my concern, Linda was a decent girl but also a little bit bad.

She was staring at me and talking continuously but my mind was focused on spreading her cheeks like the gospel.

I didn't clean my bedroom just to have a conference.

So, I had to make the discussion a bit nasty so she could know where I'm heading to.

I began to shift closer to her and started to stroke her hair gently.
But she kept on narrating her ordeal.

Suddenly, we began to feel strong winds outside which were accompanied by a very heavy rain.

She will eventually get cold.
And it's the weather for Bedroom Olympics.
The perfect weather for two.

The rain was so heavy that I had to shut the door and turn off the TV.
But the problem is I can't just tell her to come to my room.

It is way too straightforward.
There has to be foreplay or something enticing.
Girls love drama.

Sitting down and thinking of the perfect way to wheel her to my room was my major concern.
So I pondered in thought until an idea hit me.

Since it was very cold, it is advisable that she changes her clothing in order to get warm.
Something cozy.

I gave her one of my big sweaters to put on and a baggy trouser.
And she came into my room to change, according to how I planned it.

In order to wear the sweater, she had to take off her gown and bra so as to feel free.
I laid on the bed waiting for her, while she returned to join me.

She told me that it was such a good time and it's been long she had such fun.

I felt flattered but this was no place for sentiments.

Not now, not ever !
From the all the movies I've been watching, the guy always makes the first move.
But I totally suck at that.

Then there was silence.
A silence that had us staring and gazing at each other.
The only background sounds were that of the rain trickling on the roof and the strong winds finding their way into the room.

My horny self sat down staring back.

But luckily she came closer and rested her body on my chest and told me she needed a cuddle.

If only she knew that she would receive more than a cuddle
If you know what I mean.

I quickly wrapped my hands around her tummy and kissed her forehead.
Then she turned and kissed me on my lips.

A deep passionate French kiss.
All my hormones rose but I had to act very cool.
So I grabbed her hair and returned the kiss deeper than the previous one.

Things were getting real intimate now.

I grabbed her and put her on top of me while kissing her and caressing her body.

Before I could even realize, she took off my sweater and what my eyes beheld, words cannot sufficiently explain.

Her body was well structured and will have any man begging.
Imagine what her boyfriend left behind. He must be insane.

We had a great time, thanks to the weather.
Which she got to meet my African Giant and later sent him to rest.

The rain served its purpose and subsided.
And it was time for her to get home.
I packed her stuff and kissed her goodbye.
She told me she loved today and would like for such day to reoccur.

I was in no place to catch feelings, it was a one night stand to me tho.

I felt on top of the world.
The memory will stick in my head forever.

Later in the night, I picked my phone to go online and see what's going on since I've been busy throughout the day.

My first notification was a NEWS UPDATE.
I usually skip every sort of news but this one was way too vital.

There was seven new cases of Corona Virus in my city.
Probably the news is fake and they want people to panic, but I can never panic.

I clicked the update so as to read the details.
Little did I know that the details were important than I could ever imagine.

The news stated that the virus came from foreigners that came to lodge in one of the hotels.

I checked the name of the hotel and it was DE-CASTLE HOTEL.
THE EXACT HOTEL LINDA WORKS !!

I quickly recalled that Linda was the receptionist there.
And she said that she interacted with the foreigners quite often.

I was dumbfounded and couldn't get a grip of myself.

She definitely has the virus. But I can't conclude quickly.
It is possible she was very cautious, so there is no need for me to panic.

The news continued that every single person that works there in the hotel should report for testing and they should be quarantined.

I was in deep shock and couldn't fathom what just happened.
I sat on the floor realizing the mess I just got into.
But I had to kill my fear.
Linda can't have Corona, she can't be infected so quick.

So I slept that night, while my thoughts roamed far and wide about the events that occurred.

I woke up in the morning, to see several missed calls from Linda.
Wow, she's probably caught feelings or something.
I'm sure she must have dreamt of me or maybe wanted to say thanks in a romantic manner.

Before I could get up from my bed, she called again and I picked.
She exchanged pleasantries and went straight to the point saying that she is going to the health center today with her coworkers for testing.

What concerns me and her testing?
She said that she may be infected and that the seven cases that came up in our city, five cases were from De-castle hotel.
Her place of work.

She went as far as saying she has been having a fever for a while but she felt okay in my arms.

Instantly, I lost my appetite.
Did she just say she's been experiencing fever?

I told her she'll be fine even when I know she won't be because she is infected.

I recalled that during our "fun-catching", her body was kind of warm or should I say, "feverish".

I'm so dead.
As she is infected, I'm obviously gonna be infected too since we did sleep together.

So, I'm gonna be a Corona Virus patient?
What will I tell my parents?
Disease that does not have a cure.

I tried coughing, Nothing came up.
I had no difficulty breathing.
No abnormal temperature.

But I was so scared, I couldn't think of anything else.
I continued my life and wasn't bothered.

After two days, I received a text and a picture from Linda.
She said she tested positive and the picture she just sent was her hospital test results.

I slumped before I could get to reply her.
