I took her to the kitchen where she washed two pots. She then emptied the rice into one pot and the turkey and the stew in another pot.

Thereafter, she dished some rice and turkey in two plates. She put the two plates on a tray and we returned to the sitting-room where she handed one plate to me.

We soon started to eat our food. I must confess that the food was delicious.

'You sure know how to cook well,' I commended.

She smiled warmly. 'Thank you.'

After that, we ate the food in silence, each with his or her thoughts. She was trying to be nice, I told himself. Well, this was better than playing seduction game.

After the meal, Steph cleared the table and took the plates to the kitchen.

I thanked her for the trouble, but she brushed it aside. We chatted and laughed as if we had been the best of friends for years.

I found Steph interesting, no doubt, but I knew I would be playing with fire, if I should step beyond the bond again. One significant thing was I
could not erase Madam B from my mind throughout the time Steph was around. It was as if madam was right there watching all my moves.

Beside the factor of madam, I would not want to hurt Enny. Steph was with me until few minutes to nine in the evening.

Moments after she had driven off, Enny was in the house, as if she was on cue.

'Hello, dear,' she greeted.

'Hello, baby.' I went over to give her a peck. She dropped her handbag a seat.

'I'm famished. Let me go to the kitchen and prepare something.'

'There's food in the house,' I said.

'Good.' She went to the kitchen and I followed her. When she opened the pot containing the stew and chicken, she became curious.

'Where did you get all these chicken?'

I knew it was risky, but decided to tell her the truth. 'Steph just left here. She brought them.'

Her eyes clouded immediately. 'Steph?'

I nodded. 'Madam's daughter. Look, there's also fried rice in the other pot.'

Enny shook her head. 'I can't eat this.'

'Oh, come on, Enny. There's no harm in eating it.'

Enny remained adamant. She said she would prepare her own food.

Since I had some foodstuffs in the house, she decided to prepare boiled yams and fried eggs. She made for me too. I was still full, but I must eat her food, even if sparingly.

Not long after eating, Enny said we should pray before we went to bed. She always did that. Even in her church, she was a member of the 'prayer warriors.'

The following morning, I dropped her at Ketu bus stop on my way to the office. Madam B came early to the office, and this time she came with Steph.

Some minutes after arriving in the office, Steph came to me. She looked radiant in her dress. I was quick to see that the skirt was short, but it fitted her perfectly.

'How was your night?' she asked.

'It was fine. How about yours?'

'Oh, it was nice.'

The office assistant came inside the office.

'Madam wants to see you,' he told me.

I nodded and went to madam's office with Steph on my heel.

'Yes, Alex,' madam said as soon as I stepped inside the place. 'Go and be prepared. In some minutes from now, you'll be going to Sagamu road. There's a new filling station the company is commissioning today. I want you to represent me there. The commissioning is coming up by noon.'

I nodded. ‘Yes, madam.’

'I'll suggest you go by ten. The company driver knows the place. He will take you there.'

I nodded again. 'That will be no problem, ma'am.'

'Mum, I'll like to go along,' Steph said.

There was a pause. 'That's alright,' Madam said.

Chapter Eight


We left at about ten o'clock as madam said. Steph and I sat at the back of the car. The way she perched at my side and held my left hand was a bit uncomfortable, if you know what I mean. We got to the place on time and performed the commissioning to the applause of those there.

The place was declared open in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I really felt like I was an important man that day. There was light refreshment and we took our leave.

On the way back to Lagos, Steph said she felt sleepy. She put her head on my left shoulder and closed her eyes. I allowed her to be.

It was few minutes to three o'clock when we got back to the office. I was told madam had left. I called her on the cellphone to give her the feedback of the commissioning. Steph remained in my office till I closed at five.

'I'll take you home,' I said.

'Why don't you let's go your place first? I'm enjoying your company.'

I was reluctant to grant that.

‘Oh, come on, Alex,’ she prompted. ‘Mum knows about our friendship. What is there to be scared of again?’

'Okay,' I finally agreed. 'But I'll like you to go home early today, say by six-thirty. I don't want your mummy to think I'm playing games with you. She has warned me against that.'

She chuckled. 'What games are you talking about?

I chuckled too. 'You know what I mean, lady.'

'No, I don't.'

'Yes, you do.'

I drove her to my apartment. Maybe I shouldn't have because everything changed thereafter.
'Let me see how your bedroom looks like,' she said, following me there.

I didn't want to change to casuals in her presence, so I only removed my shoes and socks, and tucked out the shirt.

'It's a nice little bedroom,' she was saying.

'Thank you,' I said.

She stood in my front and stared into my eyes. I stared back. That became my undoing as I became spell-bound.

'So, what games are you scared of playing with me?' she asked.

'You really want to know?'

'Yes I do.'

'Alright, let me show you.'

'Yes I do.'

'Alright, let me show you.'

My lips moved towards hers. There was eagerness as her lips welcomed the guest. After few seconds, I stopped abruptly.

'Is that all to the game?' she mumbled.

'No, it's more than that.'

'Show me the rest,' she goaded.

Like a man under a spell, my hands went to her boobs.

'Wait,' she said urgently.

I removed my hands, staring at her. I was breathing fast.

‘I brought something you can use.’ From one of her pockets, she brought a pack of condoms out.

‘So, you already thought of this,’ I said. It was meant to be an accusation, but my tone was far from it. My hands went to her bust again and there was no resistance.

I lost all my self-restraints. I forgot all cautions and warnings.

We played the game to the fullest.

Oh, flesh, frailty thy name is.

'I think you have to go home now, Steph,' I said, looking at the time.

It was already past eight.

'Okay,' she said. Slowly, she started to wear her clothes.

'I feel like staying with you forever,' she said.

I shook my head. 'Nothing lasts forever, my dear,' I replied.

'But certain things do,' she countered. 'Love is one of them. And diamond. Those two things last forever.'

I did not say anything to that. Maybe she was right.

'Don't you think so?' she prodded.

'Hmn, I think so,' I said sheepishly.

She was through with dressing.

We went to the sitting-room and she picked her bag. We moved to my car. As I drove her home, she held my right.

'I'll never forget this night,' she said.

I felt I was in a dreamland. 'Me too.'

She stroked the right hand, but I still managed to steer the wheel with it.

This was crazy, I thought, being so intimate with Steph. I had gone against what I averred I would not do. How weak a man could be! Or maybe I should say how weak I was.

I parked the car some meters from their house.

'Thanks, Alex, and goodnight.'

'Good night, Steph.'

She gave me a peck and got down from the car.

I drove back home. Now alone, I realized I had behaved so foolishly. How could I allow myself to fall for Steph?
