Recap of happenings since my last update:
• ‘Deola and I have met twice in that period once when I went up to Manchester on a business trip and last weekend when she came over to spend the weekend. We have also spent several hours on the phone and online, so I’ll leave you all to draw your conclusions as to the state of “Our Union”.
• Miss S (Rachael) has spent the last week working out of the Bristol office; despite my growing concerns about the longevity of the relationship i have to admit that I really like her and to make matters worse she has been hinting in a rather subtle way that maybe we should take the relationship a step further.
• My dilemma over the two women still exists and I have now reached a point where I have to make a decision or ………,
Week 5 Day 1 (261009):05:33: I’m awakened by the bright light penetrating my room curtain, and almost instinctively I’m jolted by the thought that I have overslept. A quick glance at my bedside clock and I realise I haven’t as the clock went an hour behind 24 hours ago.
The thought of indulging myself for another 30minutes was proving irresistible until I remember I need to renew my Travel Ticket again!
06:10: En-route to the station, I’m forced to navigate through the several barriers put up in the latest road work, well the millionth of the year! As I walked pass Mr & Mrs Ola (well not real name), I was attracted by the strange sound emanating from their 1st floor road-side room. The indubitable sound of a woman enjoying the pleasure of “well you know what”; I cant help but wait a few minutes to savour the occasion until her “wave-like” moan was beginning to arouse me and worse still the “gbeborun” mama walking past gave me that funny look “like what are you standing there for”.
I reluctantly moved on now racing as I need to make up the wasted minutes.
A few minutes later, I leave the ticket office grumpy at the exploitative cost of train ticket, and while I was still seething I had a timely reminder that come January 1st 2010 the price will go even higher, that just made my day!
06:22: The train arrives on time and for the 1st time in weeks was actually looking forward to the on-board drama.
Miss S is still away in Bristol, so I decide to occupy the carriage nearest to the station entrance, as the train door light comes on this couple whilst jostling to get in ahead of me are reluctant to open the door, feeling like swearing at her (well, u can tell I’m still pissed off by the train fare and the fact that I’ve managed to spend most of my salary on bills and what have you in just 2 days) I eventually let her in only to see her and her man monopolise a three-seater. The woman probably from one of the French-speaking African countries (well I guessed judging from her accent and the language they converse in from time to time) always gets on my nerve, perhaps its more to do with her arrogant pose, or the fact that I just don’t find her attractive!
06:27: Having managed to find myself an aisle seat on my favourite 3-seater, I couldn’t help but notice a girl who later turned out to be a naija sat across the aisle from me. She had a chemistry text book opened to what looked like “Organic Chemistry- Naphtalenes”, she flicked through a few pages, then picked up her phone called a friend, sent a text message then fiddled with the phone some more. All this while the Alkanes and Alkenes sitting on her laps were being ignored;
“layabout”. As the train is about to pull out of the latest stop, the sight of this woman running frantically in a bid to catch the train before it leaves was too exciting to ignore. Her high-heeled shoe must have woken up the whole of Greenwich, lol yet the train driver who I guessed must have noted her efforts pulled out of the station without her.
06:32: The naija girl eventually gets off at London Bridge but not after swapping her chemistry text for the Holy Bible…lol
The departing crew at London Bridge was soon replaced by another set of commuters and while most of then were happy to stand for the 7 minutes or so trip into Charing Cross, one particular woman decided to ease her legs and opted to use the seat the naija girl vacated; the only problem was that the seat was now occupied by the bag of the lady sat next to miss naija. And the polite plea to have it moved was met with a grumpy dismissive look from the lady,
“In your own time love, no rush”, the standing lady muttered derisively. Her comment drew a disgusted look from the lady moving the bag; unfortunately they didn’t take things further…
As we approach Charing cross, my thoughts wander back to the weekend I had with ‘Deola and the imminent return of Miss S, since her absence I have met with ‘Deola twice, and its safe to say that the pendulum appears to have shifted
65:35 in favour of ‘Deola. Yet who can ignore the effect Miss S’s presence would have, perhaps her return on Wednesday will re-ignite things, or maybe I actually underestimated my feelings for ‘Deola. Well the coming days will tell.
For the time-being I pick up my copy of London Metro as I head to Subway for my brekkie…
Week 5 Day 2
06:15: I leave home buoyed by the flurry of saucy text messages ‘Deola and I had sent to each other the previous night. The appearance of the early morning sunlight in what is now officially autumn, the sound of incoming text messages as I switched on my phone was enough to lift my spirit in the light of the news I heard just before I went to bed last night.
“
Uncle O”, as we often called him had called me to thank him for my commiserative message in the aftermath of what can only be described as a “double tragedy”. His wife’s cousin was murdered by his brother-in-law in front of his kids before taking his own life; the news jolted me as I know the family very well including the deceased and her husband.
That news put an end to the nigh 2 hours of saucy texting between ‘Deola and I and as I bid her goodnight she made it clear that even when I switched off my phone she wont stop texting me until she fell asleep.
The beeping sound of incoming text messages kept going until I reached the station, 26 messages! What tariff is she on!
06:22: The train is delayed by 2 minutes giving me more time to indulge in some more naughty messages, the other commuters must be wondering why I’m smiling to myself with my coat now fully draped over my crouch area….lol
I barely replied Rita’s greetings no thanks to my preoccupation with the phone message.
The train eventually arrives and sadly I had to stop browsing, after all Wouldn’t want the guy sat next to me in on the fun. That said, the guy was enjoying his own stuff, with his eyes firmly fixed on the Page 3 Girl of the Sun Newspaper, I have to say the sight of her breasts tortured me big time. Her succulent firm breasts coupled with the pointed nipple meant the guy and I spent much time on a page which had nothing newsworthy on it…lol
06:30: The train pulls into the next stop and I took the opportunity to reply ‘Deola’s messages. One thing I quite often enjoy at train stations is sight of people running to make the train even when they see the door shutting, the disappointment on their faces when they realise “Its Over” I have always found interesting although not in a sinister way.
As I revel in the disappointment of this well-suited up man, Zoe walks up and asks to use the spare seat next to me. Zoe, is a 27-year old woman, who works in Fund Management at Bank Of New York; we met through a mutual friend of mine Joe, a Ghanaian guy I did my MSc with. She is a self-confessed IT girl who would shag any man without giving it a 2nd thought. She often said she has money and as such she is prepared to play the game big time. The first meeting with her was last year at the behest of Joe, once we’d had a few bottles she openly talked about her sexual escapades.
We exchange greetings and I ask how she is and curiously but regrettably what she had been up to lately.
She proceeded to tell me what a blinding weekend she had and how she was so drunk she fell asleep at the entrance of Charing Cross station at midnight. Still reeling from the shock of that revelation, she went on to tell me how she is “playing” her boss by meeting him for sex three nights in a row near Charlton Park. Her story soon drew the attention of this middle aged woman sat opposite us and if only looks could kill…
06:35: I finally managed to heave a sigh of relieve as she alights from the train at London Bridge, not because I wasn’t enjoying her story but the attention her story was generating was really not to my liking, and oooh there was this fine looking girl I had seen a few times but never really had the chance to chat with. I quickly avail myself of the opportunity presented to me and change seats. The smell of her perfume reminded me of “someone”, knowing that baring any delays between London Bridge and Charing Cross, I have just 7 minutes to “Kill the Deal”; I greeted her and just as she was about to reply her phone went off, the male voice on the other end deflated any hope I had of toasting her, and her “I love you too” departing words as she ended the call put paid to any intentions I had.
I was expecting her to respond to my greeting; instead she kept a straight face while looking outside the window. It then dawned on me that Miss S is back to work on Thursday, and if I persisted with this woman what if she finds out about Miss S? I interrupted her again and asked why she preferred the dull scenery of Waterloo train station to my charming face this early morning, and voila, that did the trick as she burst into laughter, and who told you I don’t prefer the scenery? She asked. Well you do know what they say about Britain and its autumn weather don’t you, I asked. So I’d advice you to savour this moment, at least I’m guaranteed to lighten up your day…. Were my closing lines as we arrived at the terminal. We soon parted but not before we introduced ourselves, she soon went underground to get her connecting train.
As I headed across the station to Subway, I couldn’t help but wonder if she is up for a bit on the side.
And oh, I can tell you that from her name she is from the Ghana (well her parents anyway),
