Between The Sheets: All Kinds Of Hard (13)

This Friday, Tolu was sitting in his office and he was cranky for no reason. It had been three days since that night with Ni and he had been himself.
Every night, he dreamt of her tears when she came, he dreamt of everything else that night but that wasn’t what had annoyed him completely. It was her call on Wednesday night. He still remembered it clearly. He was working late as usual (barely concentrating because he couldn’t get the pictures of their night together out of his mind) when his phone rang and he saw that it was her. He almost didn’t pick up but how could he ignore her? (a question that he will always regret).
He picked up ‘Hello?’ ‘Hey, Tolu! What’s up?’ ‘I’m good.‘ ‘So, Tolu I was thinking…‘ ‘Yes Ni. I’ve been thinking too…’ ‘Tolu, Friday was a big mistake. I mean it was just a waste of time right? Don’t mind me, I was just being a girl. I was being emotional because my time of the month was close… Today.‘ Then, she laughed. She actually laughed out loud! ‘What a waste of three good hours, Tee! Okay babe, I feel so sleepy. Good night!‘ A two-minute call that had managed to piss him off then and was still managing to do that three days later. He told himself it was because she did what he should have done, because she beat him at his game… except there were no games that night… just the real him but he wasn’t ready to admit it to himself. He took a deep breath. What am I really upset for??
He began to think of Amaka. He had tried as nice as possible to be very nice to her but he hadn’t given them a chance to sit and talk after that kiss. There was something there and maybe it was time to explore it. He called the extension for her office. ‘Hi.’ ‘Hi… Amaka. Can I see you?‘ He dropped the call and he waited. He needed to forget and he knew just how to. He rested his head on the chair waiting for Amaka.
Amaka walked in looking very beautiful. What was it that she was wearing? It showed off her pretty shoulders. He watched her for some time and he saw that she couldn’t look back at him. He leaned forward and looked into her eyes all while smiling. ‘Amaka, why can’t you even look at my face?’ he asked. ‘Maybe it’s because I don’t like to see nothing in your eyes.’ ‘Amaka…’ ‘I just want to know if this is what it’ll always be for me.‘ Amaka… ‘I want to know… maybe this means nothing to you, maybe I was too gullible and too available. ‘ ‘That’s not the reason…’ ‘So, what is your reason Tolu? What is your reason for giving me mixed signals? One day you seem like you care and the other day you are content with ignoring me. How do you think it feels for me? I need you to make up your mind so I can stop deceiving myself.‘ She stood up ‘If that’s all, sir then I’ll be taking my leave.‘ She waited for a second for him to reply and when he didn’t, she turned around and walked out.
