THE DIARY OF A CALL GIRL (FINAL EPISODE)

It's been three long years since I moved out of Dr.Richard's house to continue my life on my own. I was so in love with him and that made it difficult to leave him despite his pleas but I had to. I can still vividly recall how it happened.

It was a cold evening, I called him to the sitting room and told him of my decision to move out, get a job since I was now a graduate, and start a life of my own. Oh! I can never forget the look on his face. He was speechless and sad. I could have sworn that I saw glitters of tears in his eyes. He begged me to forgive him if my decision was based on anything he did but it wasn't. For two years I stayed with him, I never had any reason to be sad or remember my sad past. He made sure I was very happy. We shared so many good memories together and never for once did he try to take advantage of me or lure me to his bed. He was the perfect gentleman and I was so happy with him. Heaven knows I loved him and I still do but it was a decision that had to be taken sooner or later.

The night before I was to leave, I couldn't sleep. How could I sleep when all I felt inside of me was emptiness, loneliness and heaviness. I stepped out of my room into the sitting room and I saw Richard on the sofa with his head bowed. He stood up when he saw me walk in. We were both silent for minutes and allowed our eyes do the talking. I slowly walked into his arms and he hugged me so tight. I felt hot tears running down my cheeks. I raised my head and for the first time since I knew him, I kissed him. He was resistant at first but slowly he returned the kiss with so much passion and desire.

"I love you so much Bea. Please don't go, don't leave me. I can't bear to let you go". His voice carried so much emotions that made my heart sink. This is going to be more difficult than I thought. I couldn't utter a word instead I wrapped my arms round his waist and kissed him more passionately.

"Let me correct the wrong your uncle did, only if you are ready". He looked into my eyes with those beautiful eyes of his searching for answers. Thoughts of what my uncle did flashed into my head. My heartbeat raced faster and my palms was suddenly sweating. I was nervous. Am I ready for this? Goddammit! I wasn't going to let that bastard rip me of this moment.

"I'm ready Richard" And I meant it. We made passionate love that night completely different from what that bastard did to me. The following morning, I was gone even before he woke up. I couldn't bear to see him that morning knowing fully well that he won't let me go just like that after exchanging our hearts the previous night. I left silently, taking all the memories of last night with me and leaving behind no clue of my destination or any number to use to contact me. I just walked out of his life.

"Beatrice ooo" Crystabel called out snapping her fingers in front of my eyes and I jolted back to reality.

"Wetin this one dey think wey dey make am smile like mumu (What is this one thinking about that is making her smile like a mad person)" Crystabel ranted in pidgin making it obvious she is a local person "Abeg make we dey go we don dey late (please let's be going, we are running late)" I smiled at her and shook my head. This girl will never change but I love her like that. She took me in after I left Richard's house and she shared a similar story to mine. That's how we became close. She introduced me into the business of being a Call girl. I was resistant at first but with time I threw caution to the wind and joined her in the business and that's what I have being doing for three years now. June and Ashley joined us two years ago and we became a squad.

We reached our spot 5 minutes earlier and I was so excited. I chose a perfect spot in front of a T-junction that there is no way any car will pass without noticing me first and over the years, I grew more beautiful and endowed and I became the desire of every man which made other call girls jealous of me. But I don't go to bed with just any man, I made sure I choose a very good and healthy customer.

15 minutes later, a black toyota stopped in front of me. I recognised the car as one of my loyal clients that always pay me well and high. He picked me and we drove off to our regular hotel.

An hour later, he brought me back to my spot. Thanks to Crystabel, nobody took my spot. He dropped me, gave me a very fat envelope, fatter than the normal envelope he normally gives me and then he drove off. I smiled at Crystabel, waved the envelope at her and secured it in my small handbag. I thought of wrapping up for the night because the amount I was paid was far higher than the normal pay but Crystabel forced me to stay and besides the night was still young. Who knows the next big fish I will catch.

After my third client dropped me back at my spot, I was already so weak and tired and I could barely stand. Gosh! Some men are just machines, going three or four sometimes five rounds in just one hour. I was exhausted but the pay was mouth watering. But no matter how many men I sleep with in one night or how many rounds they decide to go, nobody made love to me the way Richard did. The thought of Richard made my heart sink and my heartbeat raced faster. I suddenly went pale. I haven't being able to erase the memory of that night. Not for once, since the past three years, did I forget Richard. I have never stopped thinking about him. Life without Richard was sad. No matter how much money I make, I wasn't happy inside of me. I've missed him so much.

"Babe are you okay?" Crystabel asked with so much concern and worry. I turned and looked at her and before I could open my mouth to respond to her question, I heard a voice behind me. 

"Can I buy your time for the rest of your life Bea". I froze instantly. It was him. I recognized the voice. God help me! I never forgot that voice for one day. How on earth did he find me? My legs suddenly became weak and I staggered and as always, his warm hands reached out to me. I slowly turned and I saw him.

"Richard" I whispered inaudibly, not sure if he heard me. I reached out to cup his face and tears began to flow from my eyes.

"Oh Bea, I have missed you so much". His voice carried so much pain and agony. He didn't look like he had being living a happy life for the past three years. He hugged me so tight and we stood hugging ourselves for close to 30 minutes.

"How did you find me?" I asked looking into his eyes. Oh God! Those beautiful eyes had being replaced with a sad one. I was still in shock. I still can't believe I am standing in Richard's arms again after three years. It was like a dream which I never wanted to wake up from.

"I have never stopped looking for you since that morning when you left without a word. I got information that I will find you here. I experienced so much happiness and love when you were with me Bea and Heaven knows I don't want to ever loose that again". He released me from his arms and stepped back a little away from me. He reached into his pocket, brought out a small black velvet box and went down on one knee.

"Beatrice, ever since you left me, my life turned upside down. I lost all the happiness I had when you were with me, I lost concentration at work. Memories of the times we spent together wasn't enough to keep me going. I need to have you back in my life. I went from a happy man to a sad and heartbroken man. It's being three years of sleepless nights, starvation, loneliness, unhappiness and emptiness. I miss you so much Bea. I don't care if you are a call girl or prostitute or whatever, I know this is not you. You are like this because of circumstances and I totally understand that. I loved you before you became a call girl and that's the person I need back in my life. Please Bea, I beg you with every hair on my body, please come back home with me. That house miss your presence. Please make me a complete man once again. I want you, I love you. I have never stopped loving you for one minute. Life without you is meaningless. Please marry me Beatrice. Be the mother of my children". His voice was so sad. I was speechless. I turned to look at Crystabel who stood with her mouth open. The other girls and their clients also stood in surprise and amazement. The whole enviroment was on a standstill. I turned my gaze back to Richard who was still on his knees looking so sad. What have I done to him? God! I've never seen him this way before. Just looking at him brought fresh tears to my eyes. I knelt down in front of him.

"Oh Richard" I muttered through my tears "I will marry you. I will be the mother of your children. I love you so much" I looked into his eyes and slowly I saw light creep in as he slipped the diamond ring into my finger.

"Bea, I......." I shut him up with a long passionate kiss. I never realized how much I missed him till now.

"I love you so much Bea" He said after I broke the kiss. He smiled broadly for the first time in three years. He stood up with me in his arms and he spinned me that I could hardly breath. This is the man I fell in love with. I smiled at him and turned back to Crystabel.

"This is my final bus-stop babygirl". I said as I smiled through my tears. I handed over to her all the money I made that night, hugged her so tight. I'm so going to miss this girl. She has being like a sister to me 

"Make sure you keep in touch Bea and don't forget to send across to us your wedding invitation". She said, almost close to tears. I nodded and hugged her again. I moved to June and Ashley who were still shocked about what happened and I hugged them tight. We weren't so close but I will still miss them so much.

I turned and walked back to Richard who had his arms wide open and a smile across his face looking more handsome than ever. I walked into his arms and he hugged me tight and I kissed him passionately. God! I can never grow tired of his lips.

"Welcome home Bea".
