Chapter 2: Seven Times One Night

That time of the month reach again. Sola just roll over pin me for bed.

Even after five years together, e still dey do like say na today e marry me. E no dey tire.

The way e dey touch me ehn, sometimes I dey wonder whether dem use jazz for am or na true love. As I dey enjoy him skills, my fingernails scratch e back well well. The mattress sef dey testify for the movement. If neighbours hear, dem go think say generator dey shake floor.

By the time night don deep, my body weak sotay I just hold Sola as e carry me go bath.

Half-sleep, I open my eye—na so I see plenty text dey flash for my front.

[So na the wicked supporting character dey chop life like this, who go jealous? No be me, lai lai.]

[Why dem no show us the last part? Even as SVIP, I still no fit watch am?]

[Dear Lord Lutong, abeg, make I enter this supporting character body just for one day.]

[See as some people comment dey hot oo~]

[No be double-purity couple be this? Why the male lead dey do like this with the supporting character?]

[Which kind old ghost from Qing dynasty be this? Abeg, pursue am.]

[Abeg, na who get this kain stamina?]

My head wey dey heavy before, just clear sharp sharp. I dey look the text wey dey rush, then look Sola with surprise.

"Sola, you dey see all these things?"

Sola just gently put me inside bathtub, open hot water. E look up, confused. "See wetin?"

I just wave am off, think say maybe na sleep dey worry me. But as I open my eye again, the comments still dey.

[Wetin the supporting character dey do? With the male lead body for there, she still get time dey sleep?]

[Na normal, because the novel talk say the male lead dey do am seven times one night with the main babe.]

[Just dey imagine am, my back dey pain me.]

[As e be, e no love the supporting character—he never do seven times one night with her.]

[Where you from? You wan watch for free?]

[My babe go meet the male lead tomorrow, I dey wait.]

[With the male lead body, I go happy to be supporting character too.]

[+1 +1...]

I just dey look Sola like mumu. Seven times one night?

Na lie. Why e never try am with me?

The thing dey pain me small. I rub my leg for Sola own, just dey reason. Sola cover me for bed, lie down the other side, off the light. E voice come deep. "Sleep."

I hold him hand, look am with pity. "One more round na?"

Sola eye come dark, e just reason am. After small silence, e talk, "Time don go. Rest."

Hmph. E no even love me reach—e no wan make I see how strong e be.

Last last, sleep carry me go. When I wake, Sola don go work.

But one thing clear: I really dey see those bullet comments for my eye, dem dey remind me say na wicked supporting character I be.

But I no gree. Me and Sola grow together. Even if our marriage start as family arrangement, after all these years, we dey respect each other—and for bed, e no dey dull. If na Nollywood film, na people go dey jealous up and down.
