Desperation

My brother, my sisters, in everything you do in this life, be patient. Never, i repeat Never you be desperate. Desperation left me in the worst regret ever. My name is Hilda and this is my story.

After graduating from secondary school, my parent could not afford to train me in a tertiary institution. I began to hustle doing anything and everything that could fetch me a token for i was saving up to train myself in the university. In the midst of my struggle, one thing was totally ruled out, i can never become a pr0stitute, an object of S3x and i made sure to that. My dear, if you are a student and you have someone paying your bills, please stop reading and call to say THANK YOU right now. It wasn’t easy, i went through hell and still couldn’t raise enough fund for my first year in 3 years. At 23 years, i was lucky to be employed in the biggest boutique in Warri. It was home of the rich, every hustlers around wished to work there. Customers always left tips for sales persons. I made twice my salary from tips before the end of the month; it was my biggest employment ever.

Life was beginning to smile on me as i was sure i would make my entire school fees worth within a year of working there so i was counting days to becoming an undergraduate. One fateful day, i was at my duty post when Mr Oritsejolomi, a regular customer at the boutiques entered, he had collected to packet shirts, a tie and a pair of socks valued at 218k and as he paid, he paid in excess of 12k and asked me to keep the change. My appreciation for his gesture made him stare in surprise. For just 12k? How much do you earn here he asked? Not much sir i answered but still the best around here. What is your qualification he asked further, i graduated from secondary with a brilliant result but could not afford tertiary education, i am working to save up for tertiary education i answered. Would you like to work with SHELL petroleum he asked? Of course sir. It was like my prayers are finally being answered, shell remained one of the biggest companies in town. Their workers are rumoured to go home with a minimum of 500k monthly plus other benefits. Call me then he responded handling me his complementary card. My joy could not be contained.

At the close of work, i called Mr Oritsejolomi and he asked me to come meet him at a bar in town, i raced there in a flash. I wasn’t going to let this opportunity slide. My hunger for success is finally about to be fed. I met him in a cool corner in the luxurious bar. He was seated with an expensive bottle of wine to go with the sweet fragrance and cool music in the serene pool side bar. I almost knelt down to greet him but just managed to be a little westernised so i just knelt a little. He asked me to seat and began to tell me if i could work as a confidential secretary in shell attending to sensitive matters and documents bla bla bla…with a salary worth of 500k. i didn’t even let him land before i picked it up with an acceptance. He smiled sheepishly and said its not that simple my dear, your role might need you to travel with your boss from time time to time. For 500k i thought to myself? I can sir i responded. Again he smiled, sometimes, your boss might want to sleep with you and you must not refuse him he said looking at me straight in the eyes. The zeal in me died, my fire quenched and i was dumbfounded for a while before i could finally respond, sir there might be some problem there o i said. You see he said flinging his palm in the air, making money is not as easy as you think, you have got to pay a price at sometime, his sermon continued for long but i was definitely not following anymore for i was at a crossroad. At the end of it all, he asked what i cared for, i said nothing that i needed to leave since it was getting late. He handed me 10k for transport and i was most excited as i left. 22k bonus in a day but the thought of his offer didn’t allow me express my joy. I left the bar filled with the thought of the offer before me. I neither ate nor bath that night. It was the worst night of my life for sleep eluded me. I kept thinking of what was before me. Within 3 days, i had emaciated. Finally i decided to give in, I called Mr Oritsejolomi to let him know of my acceptance but i was told i took too long and the post had been occupied by another and if i was interested, i should meet him in the hotel room he was going to send to me. I received a text and it was just as he said. Why would this man want to meet me in an hotel i thought but haven lost the first chance, i didn’t want to loose the second. I got dressed and set out to meet him in the hotel. He was in boxers as he laid on the bed. He asked me to undress and come over to him on the bed. But sir? But what he interrupted? Do you want the job or not? You think i am going to set you before my high profiled clients without first having assurance that you are qualified for the job? You must be joking. If you are not ready for me, please leave now let me call the next person who is more than ready. At this, the desperation in me humbled me, i have lost out from the first, i won’t the second time. I undressed immediately and went to lay beside him like a novice. What’s that he screamed? My friend get to action. I hurried up and began to exercise my novice act of romance on him. He just laid there and watched me fo0l myself. After a while, this man grabbed me by the bre@st, mehn! It felt good, i got wet immediately and soon this man made his way around me. Before i knew it, i was moaning. This man must be a sex maniac, he went six uninterrupted rounds. I slept off after the sixth and woke up in the middle of the night to see the table all set. I couldn’t pretend for i was famished. I pounced on the food and drinks. After which i went to the bathroom to freshen up and was getting ready to leave but Mr Oritsejolomi had other plans, he in his commando fashion ordered me to stay back and soon we were on another rounds of s3x. When i was leaving in the morning, with the hope that i would be well paid, the monster didn’t give me a penny, he just told me bye. As i made to leave, in an angry tone, i turned and asked when i was getting the job? I will call you he responded. I went home freshened up and went to work. I wasn’t myself all day as my whole body was in pain and my heart was even more pained for i felt used.

Three days later, i received a call from Mr Oritsejolomi that the form was out and i should come meet him at thesame hotel room. Even thought i knew his plans, but i had no choice for i was desperate to get a good paying job. I went there after work and as usual, he was on the bed n@ked and asked me to come join him on the bed. The form sir, i tried to say in an authoritative tone but he as usual asked me to go through the process if i wanted the job. My dear, i did o, before you know it, we were on it, and i had to pretend like i was enjoying it if i needed the job according to my erotic HR. After 2 rounds, he brought out a briefcase and gave me a form to fill. I did and he asked me for my credentials, i am not with them sir but i can go bring them i say feeling more excited with the turn of events. That would be another day, i have a meeting to attend. As i made to get dressed, he pulled me over and another one round went down. The next day, i called him to ask how to get the credentials across to him, he asked me to meet him in the hotel room and i di but not without getting 3 rounds minimum. I soon became his mistress with the unending number of s3x i got for free.

Finally, i was called to have gotten the job, guess what? It was the post of tea girl? I confronted him and he said i should accept it and work my way up the ladder. That before i knew it, i could become the head of a unit. Well, the salary wasn’t so bad though so i accepted and began to work. The men there were terrible, nothing in skirts passes them. Office romance was there second name. I soon caught the attention of the big boss in the finance department, he was doling out cash to me, in return for unending quickies. He would ask for tea, coffee, water every minute and every hour. I had outgrown the control of Mr Oritsejolomi and i wasted no time in kicking him aside. I hated him so much, he had turned me into that which i vowed never to become. Since i was so attractive and wasn’t to hard to convince in s3x, i made so many sex partners, but definitely not for free. Even though i was a tea girl, my account was reading millions. Just when i was getting comfortable in my new trade, Shell corporation decided to close their warri office and relocated to Port Harcourt. I was laid off and that was how i became jobless again but my s3x partners always called me to various locations. Even when i already had money, resisting the act was inevitable and that was how i became a prostitute.
