There was clearly great relief in his face when Tolu dropped the call. He had been looking for a way to talk fo Ni for so long and lately, he had been missing her something fierce but he just hadn’t thought of the right way to connect with her.
He sighed at the thought that she was willing to settle things and probably let sleeping dogs lie. She had also been the bigger person and inquired about Amaka.
At the thought of Amaka, he frowned a little. She was his girlfriend now so he was supposed to tell her if he had any reason to meet any other woman in his life… especially one with so much history. After struggling within himself about the restrictions that came with a relationship, he resolved to tell Amaka at the end of the day when she would come in for her goodnight kiss…
Amaka checked on Cyril… he was just rounding up on his final design so this was the perfect time to rush up to meet with her baby to tell him about her impromptu dinner date. She rushed up and she quickly dashed into the ladies. Carefully checking her hair and makeup, she laughed at herself. She had been doing this for the past few weeks ever since she met Tolu. It was surprising that she still had a need to look perfect before his eyes.
When she was satisfied with her overall appearance, she found her way to his office. He had given her the right to walk in freely without having to knock on the door and she did just that… slipping in as gently as she could. As always, she saw him and her mood was brightened. He was looking as handsome as ever and her heart was misbehaving.
Looking up at her, he smiled and stretched out his arms to give her a warm embrace after which, he arranged her on his laps. ‘The door’s locked right?‘ he asked and as she nodded, a mischievous smile began to form on his face. He lifted her slightly, maneuvered her until she was straddling him then he settled her there gently.
Amaka wasn’t at all comfortable and she was struggling to move when he placed his hand firmly on her waist ‘Don’t even think about it‘ he said. ‘Just get comfortable okay?‘ With that, he engaged her in a conversation about her day that she forgot about her discomfort before too long. Tolu was telling her something about his day and she was just recovering from laughter when she sighted the time: 6:30. She gasped. She had spent more than 30 minutes with Tolu and Cyril must have been waiting.
‘Baby!’ she exclaimed. ‘I have to go! I wasted too much time’, she complained with a full pout on her face. Tolu frowned. ‘Wasted? Are you headed somewhere?‘ Amaka nodded ‘I came here to…’ The rest of her words were swallowed by a hard kiss. Minutes later, he released her and he placed his forehead close to hers. ‘Sorry‘, he breathed out. ‘Your lips were so enticing… the way you were pouting…‘ By now, her arms were wrapped around his neck. ‘Baby, I need to… Cyril’s been feeling neglected so, I… I want us to spend some time together.’
As soon as she said ‘Cyril’, he squinted his eyes at her. ‘Just you and him? Where?‘ She told him. ‘Should I be worried?‘ She shook her head. he smiled ‘Well, I get it… you’ve been sneaking in here too often and leaving him by himself.‘
Amaka smiled and nodded in agreement. Tolu understood so much without needing an explanation. Wasn’t she lucky? She was about to get up but he held her down again and his eyes turned serious ‘Speaking of dates with friends, Ni called me up today.‘ Tolu said…
