DEAR DIARY: FOUR WOMEN AND ME

Hello OSCRoyal blog family, I'll be publishing a short fiction story on four women and me... I hope you enjoy this.

....... being a young university undergraduate, John has had a difficult time fitting in with the population around him.
The first few years of school life had made him bold, having met a lot of people and made a few friends, John was ready to exploit the world of women, something he was about to regret for a long time.

During his second year in school, He met Kimi, a young elegant, quaint young woman. Johns head was spinning, how can a woman be this beautiful.., his friends said it was his eyes, that he was blind, but John was sure he saw clearly. With a few weeks of chats, visitations and outings, John and kimi became friends, but Kimi made it clear what boundaries there was and why John couldn't cross them- she is from a christian family, held on to her chastity and was not going to mess that up for any so called love... John was ready for that, he was a christian too, from a christian home... He was just confused why she said those things to him and why that was important at that point of their friendship..., friendship because they were not even dating, "he didn't ask her out", so it was not a relationship. Within a few weeks, John was experiencing academic backdrop, spending more time with Kimi and and seeing things he shouldn't as the beautiful Kimi became much more free and less confidential with the things she wore, how she dressed and the kind of ''touch" she allowed- nothing wrong with that; why not, they were close friends...
However, in Johns mind, raging hormones and '' excitatory potential" were on an all round and all day duty- he wanted sex... John had successfully kept his chaste all through primary and secondary school, but this experience with Kimi was just so amazing.
John finally brought up the topic on sex, but Kimi was ready for him. She gave John the bombshell again, she was a virgin and couldn't have sex with him- John pushed the conversation letting her know that being alone with her was not convenient and an experience such as the one he's been having put both of them in a dangerous position. Kimi didn't listen, she just smiled- probably enjoying the fancy her troubles feminine nature caused for John, until a night before Valentine when He raped her.
(I can't tell what's on my readers mind, but don't judge too quickly)
It was a terrible experience, a wonderful experience and the beginning of John very lasting confusion. What had he done?, what madness took over him?..., but that was one part of the problem- he ejaculated in her, ...., but there was not blood," why wasn't there any blood? ", and why didn't she scream?_ was she mourning through it?. It was a terrible night, many more questions went through Johns head, they said nothing to each other until morning.
That morning John got the shocker of his life, Kimi confessed she was not a virgin and that she loved John, said she was going to buy prostinol, ( an abused drug, a pill which could expose women to cyst) and that everything was going to be OK. John was dumbfounded, he had been fooled, he couldn't believe he list his virginity to a women who he trusted, saw as a saint and who, a few moments ago he believed he wrong because he raped her...., yes he was wrong, he did something terrible, but at that point it didn't feel wrong, he just felt sad, confused and sad.
John left for home soon after, missed classes for a week, visited Kimi often and plunged deeper into the sexual experience. In time, he was dead to conscience and this sexual experience was the main deal- it was little surprise that John soon started to fail, had a drop in his GPA and soon needed counsel and good friends to get back on track...
With a few well constructed reasons, John finally had a break up from Kimi, but nothing was ever the same again, sexual addiction had crept in and now he had the craving - he needed a new partner.
Within the course of the year, John met Ada, an Igbo girl, fair and beautiful. John was happy about his new catch, from the stories he had heard about Ada, she was everyone's girl- John wanted a girl he could just have sex with , someone who won't drag him into any relationship, but that was his mistake; every girl wants a relationship.
Having sex with Ada was easy, too easy. Soon, he realised that Ada had no shame, picked up a quarrel at the slightest provocation, Johns life was upside down again, soon he committed another crime- violence came in, He beat her up- ( in a country such a Nigeria, violence is violence and violence against s lady of whatever kind will very much likely be rewarded with beating and battery from other men around) Ada being everyone's girl was not going to let some ''small boy" beat her up and go scot free, so she called her other boyfriends- since it turned out John could not satisfy her sexual need. John received the beating of his life and soon his family members were aware of his dealing. This was the major blow to John, family meant everything to him and now he was a disappointment.
John failed most of his papers that academic session with a further drop in GPA and more academic work the following semester.
John hadn't had enough, it was as if the devil was pushing him, working so hard to destroy his future.  He met Joan, an innocent looking Urhobo girl who had sex with him the first time they met- her excuse was that she was emotionally down and that she was not a loose girl. John believed her.
They became sexual partners and John was less shocked when, after one month she bowed her knee begging that she was sorry that she had an infection, blaming it on bad toileting... John however being a science student read the test results and understood that the infection shown on the result was definitely not a toilet infectious disease. He broke up with her treated his infection.
'Shade broke the camels back' and turned up as the girl who got John back to his senses.
In John depression he met Shade a 400L student of medicine and surgery of the university- she was a church girl. John had never seen such grace on someone as he saw on Shade. He told Shade his life story, she listened and encouraged him; telling him the secret to overcome the sexual madness that plagued him, to remember why he is in school, the pride of his family. John changed- it worked like a miracle. He stopped chasing after women, concentrated more on his studies and finally graduated with a 2nd class upper honours. During a testimony session at his church he reminded the congregation of these words, the words Shade said to him- "Honor, Family and Loyalty above all", with God on your side you can achieve all things. TODAY JOHN IS THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT OF GOD FOR ALL NATIONS MINISTRIES, the church with the largest single congregation in Africa.
