Amaka was on her chair at the design room but her heart and mind was ten miles away with her heartthrob somewhere up in the building.
She giggled at the sound of ‘heartthrob’. She still couldn’t believe that they were official. She couldn’t believe that she was now dating the same person that she had thought she could never have a chance with – Her Tolu. She could still see the look on his face when he had told her that he wanted more than stolen kisses on Sunday and the sheer joy in his eyes when she nodded and accepted his proposal.
That was exactly one week & three days ago and she was still struggling with the right ways to relate with him especially in the office – what with them being a secret but it seemed like she was the only one who cared about it because Tolu was carefree about everything and he took advantage of any opportunity that he got to kiss her thoroughly and while she enjoyed it without reciprocating. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, she just wasn’t sure of herself. What if she went overboard in the process of expressing her love and she exposed it to other people? What would she do then?
She smiled at the feel of Tolu hands on her body as he told her how much he wanted with her… That was another thing – the intimacy between them was as exciting as it was overwhelming for her. She had told herself that she would wait till she met her husband but being with Tolu felt so good and the state that she left his body in most time. He showed her that he really wanted to be with her. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could wait or control herself.
‘Amaka!’ She finally heard… turning around to face a worried-looking Cyril. ‘Where have you been?’ he asked. She quickly re-arranged herself from her daydreaming and she smiled at him ‘I’ve been here all along, Cy.’ He rolled his eyes ‘Obviously, you have. But I mean, mentally.’ Amaka smiled and kept quiet. She certainly wasn’t planning to reveal anything to him or anyone else (for that matter). Cyril (never one to back down) continued ‘For a while now, you’ve been very distant towards me making me feel like you’re not happy with me or I might’ve done something wrong.’
Hearing his voice, it didn’t seem like anything was wrong but his face told everything…. he wasn’t at all happy. Amaka felt bad and she took out time to explain herself while omitting all the important details/truth. She blamed it all on home. She claimed that she had been going through a lot and finally, she promised that things would get back to normal. The icing on the cake was when she announced that they would have a date just between them that night. According to him, that was all the motivation that he needed to get back and finish his design.
Watching his retreating back, Amaka smiled to herself. Cyril was happy again, she had Tolu and she was in love. What else could go wrong?
