SOMETHING NEW

After Lanre died, Tola started laughing again. She was not used to hearing herself laugh. Jide made her happy, too happy. She knew how to be sad, not happy. So she let out her laugh in trickles when he said something funny. She sucked in her breath when he took her hand in his; the only hand-holding she knew was when Lanre held her wrist too tightly.
She did not like how her legs spread widely when Jide put his hand between her thighs or the soft moans which escaped her throat when he thrust into her. He would whisper, "ashawo" into her ears and smile. Jide smiled too much. Ade would say, "You smile as if this world is a joke to you."
Tola was not used to the careless way Jide walked-his heels brushing the floor as his legs flew far apart-or the way he mumbled something when she asked if he wanted garri or semo. Lanre never mumbled. He had a food roster.
So a year after Lanre died when Jide asked her to marry him, she shook her head, "it is too simple."
