NO PART OF THIS STORY SHOULD BE USED WITHOUT THE EXPRESS PERMSSION OF THE WRITER THIS STORY IS DEDICATED TO ALMIGHTY GOD Beyond the Limits Femi was always busy these days. Officially, work closed at 5.00 p.m., but he always remained in office, sometimes as late as 9.00 p.m. Tonight, for the past one hour, he had been surfing the internet on his lap top. The world-wide technological bug had caught up with him and he found himself becoming addicted to the world of the wireless communication. He was the company secretary to an indigenous oil marketing firm, Exoss Oil and Gas. It was a prestigious job with a fat pay. At thirty-four, he was a figure that elicited envy among peers. Right now, he was working on his fiction, which he normally did after the official closing hours. He hoped to make it a blockbuster, as fantastic as the idea was. He would like to be in the league of writers like John Grisham. It was a tall dream, but there was no crime in dreaming. At ten minutes to six, his personal assistant popped inside his office. She had some papers with her. They were the prints out of the latest pages of his manuscript. Amanda, the P.A had been doing some overtime to get them typed and edited. She didn’t mind the extra effort. Her boss attached some generous pecks to her efforts. Besides, Femi had recently taken more than passing interests in her. She found herself not resisting his overtures. Indeed, that was an understatement as she had actually been goading him on. ‘How far?’ he asked, his eyes still glued to the monitor. ‘All done.’ She gave him the papers which were all neatly arranged according to their pages. She was always the efficient assistant. ‘Good,’ he said, grinning. His eyes didn’t leave the monitor. ‘Thanks,’ he added as an afterthought. She shrugged it off. ‘Another minute, and we’ll be off,’ he informed. She didn’t say anything but sat on one of the seats facing his desk. Apart from the muffled sound from the split air-conditioning system and the soft rattling of the keys on the keyboard, everywhere was silent. After five minutes, he whistled softly and shut down the computer.. https://selar.co/76e872 |
We will have to wait till next year before we can do so. That is, at least a year after Busola’s death. What do you think?” I nodded. “I’ve been thinking of the same thing.” “So, for now, we really have to be discreet about everything. Let’s just say we’re secret lovers.” I grinned. How appropriate. “You’re right.” My mind went to the maid. “I think the maid already knows something.” “Don’t worry about her. I will take care of her angle.” I nodded, musing over the words, secret lovers. She placed her left leg on my legs. It was an invitation to cuddle those beautiful legs again. “Do I really have the assurance that you’re mine?” she asked. “Of course. There’s no reason to doubt.” “Do you still want to have kids?” I chuckled. “No. I’m okay with the two I already have.” She nodded and smiled. “I’m okay with the one I already have too.” My right hand moved up her thighs under her belly. My hand was under her satin top. Gently, I rubbed the smooth skin. She held my hand and moved it to her right breast, helping me to achieve what I had been longing for. Wow! My breathing instantly quickened. I removed the top to get a good view of the part. The boobs were fill with large nipples and areola.They looked so firm I suspected she must have gone through surgery. I would simply not believe that the shape, size and make of her breasts were natural. Certainly, they were not so robust; no, not in any way like Busola’s own. But they looked rounded enough to be very enticing. Whether natural or not did not actually matter to me. It didn't also matter whether they were firm or flabby. When I liked a woman, the shape or size of her breasts did not matter. I made an exceptional case this time around as I teased and licked the nipples, even when I knew she wasn’t married to me. She let out some moans and gripped me. I found it amazing the ‘the whole’ Ms. Morgan, my amorous and highly connected woman, was in my arms and I was playing a very sensuous game with her body. Then, I slowed down. I must not, under any circumstance, be carried away by any amorous expedition. My mouth moved, to her neck region., but she removed my mouth and put it back on her breast. She definitively wanted more action there. Source: https://selar.co/51r73d |

Formerly titled Lust City Agatha and her friends are beautiful undergraduates that are carried away by the city allure. They frolic and indulge in all sorts of exuberance. In a hard way, they learn that not all that glitters is gold. Agatha learns the lessons of her life and settles for what she never envisaged. By seven p.m., when Manu got to the Pleasure Zone Restaurant and Bar, the place was already brimming with customers. After the hard day's work, many men decided to frequent the place for relaxation. Some came to drink while some wanted to dine. Some others came to satisfy their pent-up lusts. Yet, some came to enjoy all the services that the place could offer. Apart from the food, wine and beer, some scantily dressed ladies offered 'short time' and 'long term' services for men who desired them. Manu came to take drinks and pepper soup and to have a fun-filling time with his regular, the lady simply known as Princess. He sat on one of the plastic chairs surrounding an empty round table. He could see and hear clearly the programme going on the television. One of the sales girls drifted towards him. 'Welcome, sir. What can we offer you?' Manu nodded at her. He told her the brand of beer he wanted. 'Also, give me a plate of pepper soup.' Within a couple of minutes, his orders were brought. He used table spoon to sip the pepper soup as he took the beer. Intermittently, he also picked meats from the plate and munched. He had not spent up to ten minutes when Femi came to the bar. Manu and Femi were working together before the latter got a job at Dangogo Foods Limited as Sales Supervisor. Manu owned Excellento Tutorial School and Femi used to be his Economics teacher for GCE and UTME students. His job had taken him away, but not totally. Many evenings, they met in the bar. 'Manu, the Manu,' Femi hailed, making straight for his table. 'How was school today?' Manu smiled, shook hands with him and shrugged. 'School was fine as usual,' he returned. 'How was you rice, salt and sugar business?' 'Fine too.' He sat down opposite Manu. He too ordered for beer and pepper soup. As the sales girl brought his orders, Femi looked at her with a grin. 'Is Juliet around?' The girl nodded. 'Yes, sir.' Femi's grin became wider. 'Tell her to come.' Once again, the sales girl nodded. 'Yes, sir.' Manu could not understand why Femi was fond of Juliet. It was true she was busty and well-endowed at the bum, to Manu, she was too tall and muscular for his liking. But then, that was Femi's choice. After all, one man's food was another's poison.

What do we call this kind of fire? I believe it is an evidence that humans are imperfect and will remain so. |
The man was a bit reluctant to open the gate. 'Make I go get am for you.' He scratched his head and awaited her nod. 'No, no.' Damilola would not want to bother him. 'Let me do it myself. Besides, I want to tell him something.' She moved the gate aside herself and went inside. Without bothering to knock, she opened the sitting room door and stepped inside. The scene she saw shocked her. Right there on the three-seater, Josh was on top of a lady. They were half naked and he was smooching all over her. 'What! What's going on? Josh, what are you doing?' Her eyes were wide in surprise. He paused in doing what he was doing but did not say a word. He was probably too surprised to say a thing. 'And who's this? How dare you enter without knocking!' The lady that was with him was full of admonition. She glared at Damilola. Damilola looked at Josh again but he remained mute. She had no business with the lady, so she decided to ignore her. Josh and the lady still remained as they were, without bothering to cover up their semi unclothedness. Shameless lot, Damilola thought. She remembered she had come there to pick something. 'Sorry, I actually came to pick my phone. I forgot it.' The phone was still where she had left it. She picked it up and without any ado left them to their shame. She went back to her car and zoomed off. Oh God! Her mind was in disarray. How could Josh behave like this? How could he bring another lady into the house? Josh had terribly disappointed her. How long had he been doing that? She had left the house just about half an hour ago; and within that short time, he had brought another girl! Damilola reflected over her past relationships. They all seemed not to last. In fact, that was an understatement: all her previous serious relationships did not last. The longest was four months. Why? The fault was never hers. This very one for example, was it her fault that she caught them in that lascivious position? Before she met Josh, there was Niyi who had looked so smooth and promising. Damilola had thought she would end up being his wife. A call to his number one evening shattered the idea. It was a lady that had picked his call. 'Is that Damilola?' The voice was cold, to say the least. 'Yes, please. I'll like to speak with Niyi.' 'I saw your number stored as ‘’Damilola darling’’. Thank God you called.' Now, the tone was icy. 'I was planning to call you, but now that you've called, that’s good. I’ve heard a lot about you. Listen and listen well. I want you to stop prostituting yourself with my husband.' 'Excuse me.' Damilola wasn't sure she had heard correctly. 'You heard me! I’ll say it again. Leave my husband alone, you husband snatcher. Ashewo! Slut! Useless woman...' She had gone on to use the kind of expletives Damilola had never heard before. Damilola had cut off the line, feeling terribly embarrassed and shocked. Somewhere in her mind, she had imagined that Niyi would call and tell her it was all a very big joke, or an error, or something. He never did. Two days later, when he eventually called her, he said he had called to say goodbye. Just like that! Now, this latest incident was beginning to make her get worried. Why was she so unlucky with the men she had been encountering? Why were her lovers unfaithful men? Why was it that even when she was trying to show a lot of commitment to building a lasting relationship, the other partner never cared? As she drove home in dejection. Damilola had the conviction that something must be wrong somewhere. https://selar.co/12199m |

We left the auditorium and went to where we parked our cars. I watched as my sweetie Richard followed Ms. Adedun to her car. It was alright. I went to my SUV. I would have to go home alone. But Richard would be better coming home as soon as he drove madam home. The traffic was not as light as it was in the morning, so it took a longer time before I got home. Richard "So, what are you studying in the university?” Ms. Adedun asked. She had been asking me several questions as I drove her home. I kept a cool mien as I answered her. "Computer Technology," I answered. "Oh, that's a very good course. If you don't mind working in advertising firm, I can help you secure work in one after your graduation." I smiled. "That will be really appreciated, ma." I was getting close to Palmgrove. "I live at Mende, Maryland," she said. I nodded. For sure, I knew the place. "I want to ask you this: If you are to choose between money, wine and women, what will you choose?" Now, what kind of question was this? Why should I have to make a choice from those things? In the passenger's seat, she stared at me expectantly. I drew in a long breath. "I will rather not choose any of them,' I answered. She looked surprised. "Why?" https://selar.co/94j1b3 |

Many of the so called predictions are deductive reasonings based on current situation. Nothing more than that. |
I met Ms. Elizabeth Adedun, our overall boss at work. "Good morning, madam," I greeted. "Hey, morning, Princess." She turned to look at Richard. "Hey, is this not your son?" She had seen Richard before, but that was some years ago. "Yes, that's Richard, my son." "Good morning, ma," Richard greeted. Ms. Adedun held him briefly in an embrace. "Goodness, you've grown to be a young man," she said. Richard only smiled. We took out seats in the church auditorium. The wedding programme started by eleven. I felt happy for the bride and hoped the groom would not turn out to be a scoudrel. The wedding reception took place at an event centre not far away. We sat at the same table with Ms. Adedun. I could notice her casting glances at Richard. The food and drinks were sumptuous. Everything went well. Towards the end of the programme, Ms. Adedun turned to me. "My driver is indisposed and I had to drive myself here. But, right now, I'm so tired. I need a favour, but first let me ask: can Richard drive?" "Yes, he can," I answered. "Can he do me the favour of driving me home?" What a request! Yes, Richard could drive, but I hardly allowed him to do so. All the same, I couldn't say no to my boss. "Sure, madam. He will drive you home." I turned to Richard to pass the message to him. She stood up from her seat. "I will have to take my leave now." I stood up too. "Thanks so much, Princess. Have a nice weekend." "Yoo too, madam." We left the auditorium and went to where we parked our cars. I watched as my sweetie Richard followed Ms. Adedun to her car. https://selar.co/94j1b3 |

People should be careful about using AI to generate someone else's picture. Pastor Adeboye deserves some respect |
But her boobs were still out of view. Her tummy was smooth and flat. The flatness was probably as a result of her lying position. As I mover my palms to her body, the image of Busola suddenly appeared. It was vivid, as if I had seen her real picture. I stopped my act immediately. PART TWO The image stared at me. Wait a minute, why was it that Busola’s image was not frowning or looking at me in disapproval. Rather, she smiled at me. Why was she smiling? Was she not supposed to be miffed that just about ten months after her demise, I wanted to hold a woman in love and tenderness? Then, she was out of my mind. I stared Ms. Morgan’s beautiful body. Go on, my mind told me, tentatively, my right palms rested on her mid-rift. It moved to the navel and gently caressed the place. She closed her eyes. That was what Busola too usually did? Hey, stop it, my mind said. Stop comparing Ms. Morgan with Busola. But another part of my mind said there was no cause for alarm. I rubbed me hand on the tummy, feeling her skin and having a sensation. It was still difficult to believe that I was holding Ms. Morgan so lovingly. I rubbed my hand on the upper middle part of her chest, but it never reached her breasts. I didn’t want to rush things. Besides, I told myself I was doing all this out of love, not lust. Again, Busola’s image flashed through my mind, smiling. I wondered if I was doing the right thing. One thing was me and Ms. Morgan had to keep this relationship for some time. “Are you thinking of her?” Ms. Morgan suddenly asked. “Thinking of who?” “You know who I mean. Are you thinking of Busola?” How did she guess right? “Yes,” I answered. “Don’t worry. I’m sure she will approve of this relationship.” I was astonished. “How could you tell?” “She will,” Ms. Morgan insisted. Now, where was that confidence and assurance coming from? Some seconds, then minutes passed. I still stayed within ‘boundary.’ “Have your read her diary?” I was surprised she knew Busola kept diaries. “She told you she kept diaries?” “Yes. Have you gone through them?” There were three diaries she left behind. I decided to keep them in remembrance of her, along with some of her things. But in all honesty, I had not read them. “I hope you’ve not thrown them away.” “No, they are among some of her things that I kept. In truth, I’ve not gone through them.” Ms. Morgan opened her eyes. “You need to read them. You need to read what she wrote about me.” I was surprised again. These were certainly moments of surprises. I was surprised the level of confidentiality between Busola and Ms. Morgan was much deeper that I had thought. There was another long pause. I decided to explore the other part of her body. My hand went to her thighs. They were smooth and succulent. She cooed as I caressed them. “Are you sure you’ll be able to keep to your no premarital sex with me?” she asked in a whisper. What a question! If this woman thought I was weak in my resolve, she would be making a big mistake. “I’m perfectly sure,” I said. “Really?” “You will see, my dear.” She giggled. After more minutes, she said she felt sleepy. “Go on. Take a nap.” I stopped what I was doing and stood up. “Where’re you going?” “I want to leave you to take your nap.” “You don’t need to go out. Stay.” I sat on the bed again. She turned, such that she was now lying on her belly. I stared at her bum. They were not very big for her slim body, but they were enticing enough. I touched and rubbed them gently. Some minutes later, I could see that she had slept. I stopped touching her body. Let her rest, my mind said. I looked around her room. I was sure there would be many clothes in there. Her clothes should not be my preoccupation, I cautioned myself. I lie down on the bed beside her with my thought alternating between Busola and Ms. Morgan. I soon slept off too. Several minutes later, Ms. Morgan tapped on my body to wake me up. “Maria has made food for us,” she said. “Let’s go to the dining-table to eat.” I got up and followed her to the dinning-table. Three days ago, if anyone had told me I would sleep in Ms. Morgan’s bed that hour, I would have seriously disputed it. I was surprised it was already past noon. Goodness, I must have slept for almost two hours. We sat next to each other at the table. The way the maid looked at me, I knew she must be wondering what was going on between myself and the madam of the house. Let them keep wondering. I smiled to myself. It was a delicious lunch of jolof rice and beef. I ate to my full satisfaction with Madam Dupe urging me to take more. That very moment, I decided I would be calling her M.D (Madam Dupe), apart from endearments. M.D was also endearment as it could mean My Dear. After the meal, we retired to her bedroom again. We indeed seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. All we did was to chat. She revealed things she had never told me before, from her childhood to adulthood and how she came to have her first daughter, her only child. Sophia had been living in Spain for the past six years. MD said she had the child when she was twenty-six, though she was not ready for marriage. Why having the child when she was not ready? I wanted to know. She shrugged. She was not the marriage type, in her estimation, she said. That was twenty-five years ago. I did a simple calculation. Two years ago, MD celebrated fifty years’ birthday. She was fifty-two now. At twenty-nine, she was twenty-three years older than me! But the age difference didn’t matter. I had always believed that. I told her about myself too. She definitely had more to tell me, than I had to tell her. I was with her until she had a visitor about five p.m. I stood up. It was time for me to return to my residence. As I drove home, I kept thinking about the development between MD and me. More importantly, I thought about what she said Busola disclosed to her. On getting home, I opened one of Busola’s leather boxes. I then brought out the three diaries and started reading. She was indeed a freak of record keeper. Among many things, she wrote about the date she first started to work in my Abuja office, the day I proposed to her, the day she first visited my home and what we did, including the fact that I unbuttoned her top and kissed her boobs! I smiled as I read this. She also wrote down what she told Ms. Morgan about me. Busola painted my image as a willful and principled character. She wrote that I was a loving husband and a devoted family man. I however got to something that made me to become curious – very curious. She wrote that when she was no more, she would be happy if I could take MD as my wife. My heart literarily stopped beating. Did Busola really write this? Of course, it was her diary and her hand writing. What did she mean by when she was no more? Did she have an inkling that she would soon die? That disturbing part was written first of February, and she died some days later. How could she have written this, and how come she went to discuss the matter with Ms. Morgan? Calm down, I told myself. I read the diary to the end and read the other two. I was more than curious and I had to put a call to MD. “I hope I’m not disturbing anything,” I started. “No, dear.” “I’ve read the Busola’s diaries. One aspect that got and still gets me confused is where she stated that she would like me to marry you after she’s gone. She told you that aspect, right?” Ms. Morgan, also known as My Dear, gave an unexpected answer. “No, she didn’t tell me that part.” I was confused. “But you said she told you …she told you many things.” “Not that one. I don’t even understand what that means. Could it be that she had a premonition of her death?” I was exasperated. “That’s the question I was about to ask you. Did she hint about her death to you? Did she reveal to you that I should have love relationship with you?” “No. All I can say is that she told me she wrote something about you and me in her diary. That was why I asked you if you had read her diary.” I couldn’t get any further information from MD. I was sure there was more to this, “Alright. Thank you, madam.” “Madam?” she quickly put in. “Sorry, I mean my dear. I may need some time to adjust to my new status.” I laughed shortly. “I can understand, darling. Are you coming over tonight?” My heart started thumping. “You want me to come?” I asked unnecessarily. “Yes.” “Okay, I’ll be there.” “See you.” Another meal was waiting for me by the time I got to MD’s house. It was amala with ewedu soup. “I hope you’ll like the meal,” she said. I beamed in smile. “Sure. There’s no doubt that I will like any meal that comes from you.” Once again, I ate to my satisfaction. Surely, Maria was a great cook. After the meal, MD and I went upstairs to her bedroom. “It’s still a mystery to me that Busola wrote some of those stuffs,” I said. “I can’t believe she wrote the part about when she’s gone.” “I’m surprised to hear that too.” MD’s tone didn’t really show any surprise, and I wondered the extent of what she knew. I concluded that she knew more that she wanted to admit. As time went on, I believed I would unravel some ’mysteries.’ “So, how’re you today?” MD asked, changing the topic. “Fine. What about you?” She nodded. I observed her in the satin sleep wear she was wearing. She looked enticing as usual. She put on the television set in the bedroom and flicked to a fashion channel. There was a leather sofa in the room where we sat. “I’ve been thinking of something,” she said. “We cannot make our relationship public for now. We will have to wait till next year before we can do so. That is, at least a year after Busola’s death. What do you think?” https://selar.co/51r73d |

But in all honesty, I had not read them. “I hope you’ve not thrown them away.” “No, they are among some of her things that I kept. In truth, I’ve not gone through them.” Ms. Morgan opened her eyes. “You need to read them. You need to read what she wrote about me.” I was surprised again. These were certainly moments of surprises. I was surprised the level of confidentiality between Busola and Ms. Morgan was much deeper that I had thought. There was another long pause. I decided to explore the other part of her body. My hand went to her thighs. They were smooth and succulent. She cooed as I caressed them. “Are you sure you’ll be able to keep to your no premarital sex with me?” she asked in a whisper. What a question! If this woman thought I was weak in my resolve, she would be making a big mistake. “I’m perfectly sure,” I said. “Really?” “You will see, my dear.” She giggled. After more minutes, she said she felt sleepy. “Go on. Take a nap.” I stopped what I was doing and stood up. “Where’re you going?” “I want to leave you to take your nap.” “You don’t need to go out. Stay.” I sat on the bed again. She turned, such that she was now lying on her belly. I stared at her bum. They were not very big for her slim body, but they were enticing enough. I touched and rubbed them gently. Some minutes later, I could see that she had slept. I stopped touching her body. Let her rest, my mind said. I looked around her room. I was sure there would be many clothes in there. Her clothes should not be my preoccupation, I cautioned myself. I lie down on the bed beside her with my thought alternating between Busola and Ms. Morgan. I soon slept off too. Several minutes later, Ms. Morgan tapped on my body to wake me up. “Maria has made food for us,” she said. “Let’s go to the dining-table to eat.” I got up and followed her to the dinning-table. Three days ago, if anyone had told me I would sleep in Ms. Morgan’s bed that hour, I would have seriously disputed it. I was surprised it was already past noon. Goodness, I must have slept for almost two hours. We sat next to each other at the table. The way the maid looked at me, I knew she must be wondering what was going on between myself and the madam of the house. Let them keep wondering. I smiled to myself. It was a delicious lunch of jolof rice and beef. I ate to my full satisfaction with Madam Dupe urging me to take more. That very moment, I decided I would be calling her M.D (Madam Dupe), apart from endearments. M.D was also endearment as it could mean My Dear. After the meal, we retired to her bedroom again. We indeed seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. All we did was to chat. She revealed things she had never told me before, from her childhood to adulthood and how she came to have her first daughter, her only child. Sophia had been living in Spain for the past six years. MD said she had the child when she was twenty-six, though she was not ready for marriage. Why having the child when she was not ready? I wanted to know. She shrugged. She was not the marriage type, in her estimation, she said. That was twenty-five years ago. I did a simple calculation. Two years ago, MD celebrated fifty years’ birthday. She was fifty-two now. At twenty-nine, she was twenty-three years older than me! But the age difference didn’t matter. I had always believed that. I told her about myself too. She definitely had more to tell me, than I had to tell her. I was with her until she had a visitor about five p.m. I stood up. It was time for me to return to my residence. As I drove home, I kept thinking about the development between MD and me. More importantly, I thought about what she said Busola disclosed to her. On getting home, I opened one of Busola’s leather boxes. I then brought out the three diaries and started reading. She was indeed a freak of record keeper. Among many things, she wrote about the date she first started to work in my Abuja office, the day I proposed to her, the day she first visited my home and what we did, including the fact that I unbuttoned her top and kissed her boobs! I smiled as I read this. She also wrote down what she told Ms. Morgan about me. Busola painted my image as a willful and principled character. She wrote that I was a loving husband and a devoted family man. I however got to something that made me to become curious – very curious. She wrote that when she was no more, she would be happy if I could take MD as my wife. My heart literarily stopped beating. Did Busola really write this? Of course, it was her diary and her hand writing. What did she mean by when she was no more? Did she have an inkling that she would soon die? That disturbing part was written first of February, and she died some days later. How could she have written this, and how come she went to discuss the matter with Ms. Morgan? Calm down, I told myself. I read the diary to the end and read the other two. I was more than curious and I had to put a call to MD. “I hope I’m not disturbing anything,” I started. “No, dear.” “I’ve read the Busola’s diaries. One aspect that got and still gets me confused is where she stated that she would like me to marry you after she’s gone. She told you that aspect, right?” Ms. Morgan, also known as My Dear, gave an unexpected answer. “No, she didn’t tell me that part.” I was confused. “But you said she told you …she told you many things.” “Not that one. I don’t even understand what that means. Could it be that she had a premonition of her death?” I was exasperated. “That’s the question I was about to ask you. Did she hint about her death to you? Did she reveal to you that I should have love relationship with you?” “No. All I can say is that she told me she wrote something about you and me in her diary. That was why I asked you if you had read her diary.” I couldn’t get any further information from MD. I was sure there was more to this, “Alright. Thank you, madam.” “Madam?” she quickly put in. “Sorry, I mean my dear. I may need some time to adjust to my new status.” I laughed shortly. “I can understand, darling. Are you coming over tonight?” My heart started thumping. “You want me to come?” I asked unnecessarily. “Yes.” “Okay, I’ll be there.” “See you.” Another meal was waiting for me by the time I got to MD’s house. It was amala with ewedu soup. “I hope you’ll like the meal,” she said. I beamed in smile. “Sure. There’s no doubt that I will like any meal that comes from you.” Once again, I ate to my satisfaction. Surely, Maria was a great cook. After the meal, MD and I went upstairs to her bedroom. “It’s still a mystery to me that Busola wrote some of those stuffs,” I said. “I can’t believe she wrote the part about when she’s gone.” “I’m surprised to hear that too.” MD’s tone didn’t really show any surprise, and I wondered the extent of what she knew. I concluded that she knew more that she wanted to admit. As time went on, I believed I would unravel some ’mysteries.’ “So, how’re you today?” MD asked, changing the topic. “Fine. What about you?” She nodded. I observed her in the satin sleep wear she was wearing. She looked enticing as usual. She put on the television set in the bedroom and flicked to a fashion channel. There was a leather sofa in the room where we sat. “I’ve been thinking of something,” she said. “We cannot make our relationship public for now. We will have to wait till next year before we can do so. That is, at least a year after Busola’s death. What do you think?” https://selar.co/51r73d |

'Any that is good with the least content of alcohol.' Any where she went, she always showed that taking alcohol was not her passion. He opened one of them with a plop as if there was need to make a toast. He then filled the glasses and handled one to her. 'To the flavour of a beautiful relationship.' He raised his glass up. They clinked glasses. She took a sip to sample the taste. It was good. She looked at him with a smile. She had no doubt that the drinks were very expensive. Maybe he was a connoisseur. Damilola did not fancy exotic drinks, but would really not mind to have it moderately if the taste was good. They drank and chatted on this and that. 'Don't you think we should retire to the bedroom? Let me show you one or two things there.' There was a suggestive grin on his face. 'No o. This place is better. No need to go to any other place.' Her soft protest was significant. 'You mean you won't mind having the action here?' He laughed over his bawdy comment. 'I'm not talking about anything like that. Let's just chat for today.' 'Maybe I should try to put you in the mood.' His right hand went to her chest suggestively as he wrapped his left one around her body. 'No. I didn't come for anything like that today. Don't even attempt to do that because the mood won't come.' 'What happens to the mood? Why is it always on flight?' He seemed to be discontent. 'We've done it only once, and that was about three weeks ago.' 'Yes. You should be satisfied, shouldn't you? It's not food, is it?' Try as much as he did, he could not get her to do what he wanted. They talked about other matters. She could see that he was not pleased with her refusal, but he should try to live with that, she thought. When it was after one, she stood up to go. He forced a grin and accompanied her to her car. 'Thanks for the warm reception. You treated me like a queen.' She gave him a peck. 'You're welcome.' He waved at her and she drove off. She joined the main road and drove towards Maryland. She could have driven straight to join Ipaja road, but she wanted to do a little shopping at the shopping complex in Maryland. It was the same complex he had met Josh. She bought the laundry items she wanted to buy and realized that her phone was not in her bag. She remembered that she had put it on the armrest of the chair she sat on in his sitting-room. She paid for the items she bought and drove back to Josh's place. Instead of driving inside the house, she parked by the gate and got down from the car. The security man was surprised to see her again. 'Sorry, I forgot my phone. I've come back to pick it.' She smiled apologetically. 'Your phone?' The question came as if he had not heard her well. 'Yes.' The man was a bit reluctant to open the gate. 'Make I go get am for you.' He scratched his head and awaited her nod. 'No, no.' Damilola would not want to bother him. 'Let me do it myself. Besides, I want to tell him something.' https://selar.co/12199m |

Damilola smiled. 'Alright.' She dropped the phone on the bed. 'Your guy?' Funmi looked at her friend in what looked like envy. Damilola nodded in the affirmative. 'I guess I should be on my way. Have a nice time, Damilola.' With that, Funmi left the house. Chapter Two Damilola whistled softly to herself as she got up to dress up. Her large wardrobe had scores of clothes, some of which she had no worn from a long time. She checked them one after the other, wondering which one to pick. She finally settled for a designer t-shirt and jeans trousers. She applied her designer make up and perfume. It was apparent Damilola liked designer wears. She liked to look and smell good. Since she could afford the good things, nothing stopped her from having them. She put her sunglasses on as soon as she got to the porch. 'Happy weekend, small madam.' Sule always addressed Damilola as madam despite the protest of the latter. He walked towards her with his trade mark grin. 'Good morning, Sule. How're you?' 'We dey fine o. We thank God.' He looked at her in expectation. 'Your car is ready.' He pointed at the car. It had been washed and it was glittering in the morning sun. 'I can see that.' She nodded in approval, smiling at him. He had, as usual, helped her to wash her car. She dipped her right hand inside her clutch bag and brought some money out. 'Here, take this.' 'Ah, thank you so much, madam. This weekend will be very great.' She entered her car and put the engine into life. He waved at her while Damilola honked the horn. The car was still quite new and she handled it carefully. It was a gift from her father when she clocked twenty seven. She had complained that she was tired of jumping from one cab to another and he had gifted it to her. The traffic was light. From Ota, she drove to Abule Egba on her way to Ikeja. Josh lived on a street off Shodipo Close at the GRA. By a few minutes after noon, she was at the front of the gate of his residence. The man at the gate came to the side of her car to properly look at the person behind the wheel. 'Ah, good morning. You're welcome.' Damilola smiled at him. She was no longer a stranger there. She drove into the compound. Josh came to meet her as she was stepping out of the car. 'My baby.' He was obviously glad to see her. He came over to give a kiss. Taking her right hand, he ushered her into the expansive sitting room downstairs. Bottles of wine and champagne were already set on the center glass table. 'I was already expecting you.' He felt there was need to explain the scene. 'I can see that.' When she saw that the bottles of exotic drinks were indeed many, she became curious. 'Are you celebrating anything?' 'Yes.' He laughed. 'Having you around calls for celebration. Take your choice.' He pointed at the drinks. 'Any that is good with the least content of alcohol.' Any where she went, she always showed that taking alcohol was not her passion. https://selar.co/12199m |
