Ore called me some days after what happened at her place and was all apologetic on the phone and all that but that soon changed after I said I was no longer going to continue with our sexual relationship as long as she had her own boyfriend. That didn't go well with her and despite her best attempts I refused to give in which made her hiss and dropped the call. typical lady-like character.

I couldn't bear to go on with such deceit and unfair treatment. If she couldn't cope with what the guy wanted then she should leave instead of wanting to eat her cake and have it. I shrugged off what happened and continued with my business, she would still find a way to bring us back together, that was certain.

Dotun and I didn't really get to speak for long after what transpired at the suya joint. She was still angry at a drunken man' opinion of her tribe but her anger had more to do with the fact that I patronized that sort of place. Our conversation had been more one-sided and work and other engagements hadn't given me the time to make up for that day properly.

But that was just part of it, I actually wanted our little discord to continue so that I would have good reason to invite over to my place and the ancient fact that discord always seems to bring people closer. If there was any doubt that Dotun' mind had changed towards me in the area of a romantic relationship, her recent reaction had cleared such cob webs but still I had to be a hundred percent sure.

I called her on a Friday morning that I would love pick to her up after business on Saturday to which she just said, "okay." I smiled and left work early that day in order to get things ready, things that included keeping the right things at the right place - things that prevented pregnancy, those sort of things.

I didn't tell her where we would be going and she didn't even bother to ask, probably she though I would just drive her home. After fellowship in the evening that Saturday, I drove straight to where I thought her boutique would be and called her when I was close to Ajayi road. She directed to where her shop was, just some few metres from the bus stop. I parked in front of her twin stores before coming down to meet with her as she was already waiting.

She was on some kind of weird pants which was loosed and a shirt which was a bit tight. She managed to put on a smile when she saw me and just asked us to leave. Apparently she didn't want me inside her store for whatever reasons which was fine by me because I didn't want to in there in the first place. I opened the front passenger door for her to go in and after a thank you which was more of a whisper from her, I closed the door. I got into my own end and drove straight ahead until I got to the road leading to the round about just opposite Ifako secondary school. I turned to the road towards pen - cinema and was quite close before Dotun finally broke the silence by asking where we were headed.

"We are heading to my home." I simply replied and the silence continued. I passed the railway track before turning to the old Lagos - Abeokuta way. Just after a few Estates, notably Sunshine and the rest, I turned right and entered into mine - Maple-wood estate. The security guys bowed as usual while I simply horned back as I continued towards my home. I turned towards Budget way and soon stopped in front of my house. I rolled down the side of my window and brought out a remote which I pressed to unlock my gate. I didn't need to look at Dotun to know that she must have been quite impressed with what she just saw.

The gate opened quite slowly before I got in but closed back quickly. I parked just beside my two remaining suvs and then finally shut the engine. I loved suvs for no particular reason even if I was the only one in my house.

"Welcome to my lonely home." I stated as soon as I opened the front door. Dotun got in and despite her best efforts to hide her surprise, it couldn't just be hidden. She was impressed and her eyes just didn't seem to be able to leave the huge over sixty inches TV in the living room. It was a gift from a client and the curved frame always had people looking at it for long whenever they got into my living room.

"Where did you get that? It's so beautiful." A awe-strucked Dotun asked.

"It was a gift from a dear client." I replied, telling her I got it from a woman would surely ruin the mood now. I was once again charming and I allowed her eyes take in the beautiful pictures on the wall, the beautiful steel stair case and the huge amazing chandelier hanging on the roof which gave this classy look to my living room.

"You have a beautiful house, wonder how you live all alone in here or how you don't even have a girlfriend, except you are not saying the truth." She said.
I smiled because my plan was working, involving me and my single stance told me that she was ripe for the taking. She was no longer beating about the bush, one of the pros of dating matured ladies.

"What do you want for a drink? Uhm... I don't have wines and alcoholic drinks because I don't take them. So... "

".. Coke will be fine." She said with a genuine smile this time. I nodded and opened the door and then pulled the curtain that allowed whosoever was in the living room to see what was going there. My action caught her attention and as usual she starred. I acted her like I couldn't see her and opened the refrigerator to get what I wanted. I took two cokes and some soft biscuits back to where she was now seated on one of the heads of the many couches there watching me.

"You do have a girlfriend, there is no denying that now." She said as soon as I got close to her. I sighed before taking a seat on the couch before I replied her.

"You have been saying that since you got here and yet you have no proof that I do."

"... Please, you want to tell me your kitchen is that organized because..... You are some neat freak. Only a woman can do that to that place, I haven't seen any man who can." She fired back. Now, of course I have had women coming over especially Ore who did all of that and a cleaning agency who did some washing and all in restricted parts of the house but the rest was all me.

"I have my female friends to thank for the organization but I do most of the cleaning."

"Mmmhmmm.... Most not all... " she teased.

" What's your point?" I asked with a frown.

"Just wanted to confirm why you don't have a girlfriend and that's because you are a player." She said which took me a little by surprise.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked after I got myself back.

"The suya joint and your big, lonely home."

"Oh common, I just go there.... "

".... Please, Solomon. Don't even start, I know a player when I see one and I could smell from you a mile away. I just decided to give you the benefit of the doubt but it seems like I shouldn't have. I don't want anything to do with people like you again." She cut me off and quickly took her bags heading out.

Shoo, so fast. No be my house you go come walk out on me after all my work.

"Dotun, you can't just assume things about me whom you haven't seen in years and believe you are hundred percent correct. Come, sit, there are some things even you do not know about me."

She stopped in her walk and after a while turned around with a frown to come sit opposite me. What she just did almost made me laugh but it was the confirmation I needed to begin the next phase.

Dotun had fallen for sure.

I couldn't have been certain if she was actually serious or just bluffing about leaving but one thing was clear - she saw me as a potential boyfriend, perhaps even a husband. That was a lot to just let go and her ruse of leaving might have actually been how she wanted to pass that message, her own form of green light - ask me out already.

"Why are you sitting over there?" I decided to play along.
"... Because I want to, you have any problem with that?" She replied coldly which made me chuckle. Her childish behavior might have been irritating but it was still Dotun alright.

"Look, things have happened since secondary school and I have been into various relationships with different women, all of which didn't lead to the altar but that doesn't make a player, does it?" I asked, still playing with her.
She didn't reply me, just continued starring at me like she could read my mind. I then decided to go direct instead of playing around.

"Why do you care if I am a player or not anyway, what is to you?" She scoffed before saying,.
"I will act like you didn't just say that."

".... And what does that mean?" I asked, still playing the fool.
She frowned and then said,

"Solomon, you might have been very blind in high school despite your brilliance and that I could blame on your age but not now and certainly not at this stage. You shouldn't be asking why I am angry over the fact that I think and I am certain that you are a player." Women sha, they never want to be the one to confess first or take the bull by the horn when it comes to relationships.

"I am sorry I am still lost." I said with a frown like I was truly lost.
She sighed after what I said and just shook her head.
"It's no wonder you are still single when you can't even interpret simple things. All I am saying is that I actually wanted to date you back then despite your short comings but I couldn't because I was in a relationship then but now that we are both single, I thought we could....... you know... "

She couldn't seem to complete the statement but I wanted to which made me raise my eye brows which only made her squeeze her face the more.

"... You are enjoying this, ain't you? Making me do what you are supposed to have done since our first date." She said with a disappointed tone.

"Of course I wanted us to probably continue from what we left off but I had to be realistic. Years have passed between us and we both have experienced different things. We are quite different from when we last met so I wasn't sure if those feelings were still there, besides I couldn't be certain that you would keep your dream man aside and go out with me. You know how I would look like beside you on a four inch heel. Do you really want to do away with so many things because of me? All these and more are some of the reasons why I had to let things go slowly, I don't fancy another rejection." I concluded.

She laughed after my last words,
"Did it hurt so much?" She asked still laughing.

"Oh, more than you could ever imagine." I replied, holding my chest.

"I am sorry about that, but I don't think I out rightly rejected you, I was just been the faithful lady that I was but now it's different and don't worry about what and how I feel about my shoes and all that, after all Relationships are all about sacrifices."

See how money dey change things.

"So that's why you walked out because you don't want your heart broken by a player?" I asked and she nodded, her previous tensed self was now relaxed.

I knew it was time to ask her out but I wasn't going to do that just yet, not yet.
"Don't blame much, I have seen and experienced lots of nasty things and I am certain you have gone through a lot for you to deeply hate men called players but then I ain't one, haven't been for a long, long time now." I said.

"And why is that if I might ask, I mean the change?" She asked a question I already knew she would ask.

"Nothing much, just got tired of the stress and the health repercussions that comes with it. A single woman is enough trouble, can't handle more and there is church and it's requirements."

"Hmm.... The born again Christian that still lurks around drunken men and tribal bigots." She teased to which I just laughed.

"I only go there for the meat, never been a fan of Alcohol." I said while walking towards her end and taking a seat beside her. I really wanted to touch this woman so badly but I wanted her to go first.

"You know the last time I sat really close to you years ago, I felt this strange void at the bottom of my stomach and I hoped that you wouldn't hear heart that was beating so loud." I said with my left arm around her.

".. You are lying, so on top your yeye swagg and snobbish attitude, you were just shy after all. So what if I sit on your thighs now, you will faint, eh?" Dotun teased, playing right into my game.

Of course I acted like I didn't want to make her threat true and tried to use a pillow from the couch to cover my thighs to which she pulled it off me and settled down firmly on my thighs. Her femur was undoubtedly longer than mine so she pushed to the end until her Crack was just milli meters from my shaft.

Brethren, I might have won the game but my shaft embarrassed me that day by choosing that time to come alive. I tried to control it but it wouldn't be tamed and rose to full length within seconds.
Of course Dotun felt it but didn't move away, it was Madison scenario just repeating itself.

"I knew this might be how you might react, you still act like a teenager whenever you are around me, don't you?" She asked, now moving her butt back slowly.

Choi, see temptation.
"Yes." I managed to whisper to which she giggled to. Oh boy, we might just do it here and now but did we?

“Are you alright?” Of course I am not . But I didn’t say that, instead I moaned a little to which she chuckled and stood on her feet.
“That is quite decent.” She remarked, referring to my shaft.

"Just decent?” I asked, not too happy with what she said. I had been with a lot women and no one has tagged my shaft decent, just how many guys has she been with?
She smiled before replying,

“I meant it’s beyond average, what’s wrong in that.” I was a bit hurt but acted otherwise; it was quite different to be told that by a wh.ore than by someone you actually have feelings for. I vowed within to give her the banging of her life when it was time as I just knew it won’t be happening that day.

"Are you sure you don’t want a proper meal?” I asked, just to move the sting of those hurtful words away for the moment.

"Nah, I am cool, those biscuits were great.” She answered now lost in thoughts as she looked around my living room once more.

“Is something wrong?”

“Yeah, just surprised by how much you have changed in various ways, including your taste in things.”

“How do you mean?” I asked, not too sure what she meant by that.

“Back then, you seemed archaic with your actions, use of words and clothes which you wore before being given uniform, those clothes were horrible and didn’t good on you one bit. I thought you would surprise me during graduation but you didn’t, your suit that day was laughable.

It wasn’t fitted and your tie was close to your zipper….you….you…looked like a clown that day. It was then I decided that I made the right decision, I couldn’t date a guy who refused to use the mirror in his house but now things look different.” She concluded, after laughing a bit but I didn’t think it was funny.

“…And where did I change?” I asked now standing too, a few feet from her and fighting the urge to wrap my hands around her.

“Your entire personality, I might not be comfortable that you have taken it to the extreme by becoming a player but at least it is a welcomed development. The way you expressed yourself for instance when we met at mtn centre was quite commendable which was why I doubted if it was you in the first place. Anyway, I am glad you have seen the light, sort of.” She didn’t mean to stop there but she did anyway, I couldn’t tell what she was about to say but it seemed she noticed she had spoken too much.

Asking her out now could ruin everything but I was at least sixty percent sure that I would get a yes from her but it had to be ninety for me to go ahead. Dotun had always been the playful type and might not have taken seriously what she just a while ago, I knew this and preferred to be careful but I could still tease.

“You are tripping, aren’t you?” I whispered in her ear as I was just inches from her. She chuckled and suddenly announced,

"I have to get going Solo, it’s getting late.” I sighed and nodded before walking her out. We got into the car and drove quietly to her end which was bit of a drive due to the traffic around pen-cinema. I got to her place and she thanked me before getting out of the car, she didn’t say anything or hug me or something but I knew the subtle signs, she was calling me out and I had to answer in my own way.

************************************

Days rolled by and saw me carrying out the last part of my charming plans and all that. I took Helen out, not an open field or bar but places filled with people who still had their minds intact. We both saw a movie, about last night, which was funny and very matured. I admired the open nature of Kevin Hart and his girlfriend in the movie but of course most ladies don’t want that sort of a relationship and Dotun was one of those.

She preferred the calm, gentle and disciplined Michael Ealy kind and the talk of how gorgeous and irresistible he was, “…especially his blue eyes..” didn’t stop even after we got home.

Dotun kept talking about it and wondered how a black man would have blue eyes, blah, blah. I was sick of it and more importantly because I couldn’t touch her beyond her shoulders as she made sure she kept those subtle things in place. It was a pretty frustrating experience and became worse when I saw some dudes kissing their babes but that was only the beginning for me.

As we became closer over the days as most times I would stay in her business place during the weekends and we would talk and talk about our past, present and a few times, the future. During this period I got to know a few things about Dotun I should have known before then or just played down. She enjoyed cooking; she loved doing that particular activity more than any other and would most times frowned at me whenever I got meals from restaurants and a few other things like that.

But the strange thing was, as we became closer through being in each other’s company most times, I noticed that she became withdrawn physically. There were no longer any hugs, pecks or any of such things, the only physical contact I later had with her was when she would occasionally punch me when I cracked a joke or did something stupid, other than that, nothing.

When I knew of this, I was really confused and didn’t understand what was going on. I mean it was normal for individuals who were falling in love and getting closer to touch each other at every opportunity but in my own case, Dotun was intentionally preventing us from doing that. Why she would do such a thing didn’t make sense to me but I knew she really liked me, her constant calls, texts and visits confirmed that but her denying me access to even hold her gave me doubts.

I thought of discussing it with her but decided against it as I didn’t know where the conversation might lead to, I didn’t want to ruin everything, not now, not ever but then this was the first time a girl or woman would be giving me sleepless nights since my high school days. I had to discern what was wrong before solving anything.

Soon, I noticed the changes in Dotun’ words especially when addressing me; Solo gradually changed to Osas which I didn’t like and that to Dear and finally, she started calling me Browney because of my complexion. That for me was the final green light telling me that it was high time I asked her out.

She probably withdrew from me because she didn’t trust herself to stop me during any advances. She still saw me for the player I was and probably thought she was just going to be another lady I scored but that wasn’t going to happen. I had history with her, a time with her that changed the sort of woman that makes my heart leap without control. I decided it was time to do the asking out and that did in my own way.

Dotun confided in me once that she loved the native soup, ogbono but didn’t know how to prepare it because her mum was from the south west and had no clue on how to go about cooking it. Her Dad cooked it once and she fell in love with it from that day but that was over nine years ago now, I couldn’t be sure if she had finally learnt how to prepare the meal and even if she has, that channel will be my way of asking her out.

I set out to work that particular weekend; I called her first to come to my place after service on Sunday, she didn’t want to at first but finally said yes as I was very persuasive. After then, I went to Abattoir market to get the things for the soup and decided to add okro to the mix as that was the killer combination. Leaving the market with stains and grunts, I got into the car and drove home. Saturday went fast but not without calls from a few girlfriends especially Ore, I just couldn’t understand why she couldn’t let me be; she had a boyfriend for crying out loud! She was opening cheating on the poor dude without a care in the world but if situation was reversed and he was the one cheating, she would have been crying bitterly on my shoulders by now. Some women are so just so selfish.


I ignored her calls and slept off on time that day in order to be on my way to church before five in the morning. The drive was cool and smooth that morning as I got to Ota within thirty-five minutes, that was my quickest ever. Usually, it took about forty minutes or thereabout, I took that as a good omen and hoped that the day won’t have any hitches. Service was great and as soon as the grace was said, I hurriedly found my way to my car but couldn’t make it out of the premises on time to beat the traffic. I got home after about fifty minutes later and immediately got into business of setting the house in order.

I called Dotun at some minutes past noon and she said she had only got home and would be at my place before three. The time was fine; I wore the apron as it was time to cook. I didn’t really fancy cooking since I became an employer as my unnecessary engagements during the weekends stretching holes took such luxury from me. I ate outside or if I trusted my visitor enough, I would eat her meal. I hadn’t cooked soup in months prior to Helen’s cooking but since Ogbono was the only one I knew how to prepare, there wouldn’t be any issues. I never enjoyed melon, vegetable or those sorts of soups because I and the toilet become friends soon after eating them.

I spent about an hour cutting and boiling the meat, stock fish and all that before mixing the ogbono that has already being blended with crayfish, dried pepper and all that with palm oil. I poured the whole stinky stuff into the half-boiled meat and then allowed to cook for a while before adding the grated okro to the mix. Locust beans, seasonings and the final ingredient - slices of the pumpkin leaves were later added to the steaming soup.

I was about putting down the soup when I heard a knock; I was surprised and hoped that it wasn’t Dotun as my package wasn’t completed yet but to my disappointment, it was her at the gate. I didn’t want to let her in as she was about forty minutes early but later decided to. I opened the gate to see a beautiful woman behind it smiling from ear to ear which made me force mine. She was on another set of braids, brown this time which really suited her colour.

“Come in.” I simply said and locked the gate and hurried off to the kitchen with Dotun asking what was going on. She dropped her bag and followed me to the kitchen where I had water boiling for the poundo yam I was about to prepare. She didn’t speak much when she smelt the aroma in the air and immediately wanted to take a look at the soup but I stopped by pulling her back.

“Don’t, not yet.” I said. I expected a frown but the smile remained on her face.

“Okay, I only hope it tastes just as much as it smells.” I nodded and directed her to the dining. I got the bowl I needed and prepared the poundo yam before turning it back and forth till it was perfect. All that time I didn’t know I was being watched by Dotun until I turned to take the plates I needed to serve us. She just smiled at me and nodded for me to go on which I did.

She later asked for us to eat from the same plate and that I didn’t like but she persisted and I had to give in. we had to leave the dining to sit on the floor to eat and that was the reason why I didn’t like the idea in the first place.

I took the first bite and watched her did the same and when I saw her eyes closing due to the sweet, distinctive taste of the ogbono mixed with okro. She took too long moving her jaw for a mole of poundo yam but when she finally opened her eyes and an infectious smile lighted her face, I knew the battle was over.

“You just made me remember my Dad; I can’t believe you remembered what I told you years ago, that is quite amazing.” She said, disjointedly.

I smiled and tried to take another lump but I couldn’t as she was staring intensely at me and that made me uncomfortable. I was well accustomed to such looks and knew that the next words that would leave her lips would be words she had never uttered to me before but then, those words wouldn’t be the entire truth since we were still not in a relationship yet. I decided to do what the whole cooking was meant for in the first place,

“Dotun, I am ready if you are.” It was plain and simple as we were now both matured; there was no longer need for the unnecessary.

She blinked twice before raising her brows,

“You are ready for what exactly?” She asked a question I hoped she wouldn’t.

“Ready for what is in your thoughts now.” I replied to which she chuckled before saying,

“And what are those thoughts?” I wanted to kiss her there and then but decided against that as I wasn’t sure how she would react to it.

“Being your short, adorable boyfriend.” I replied. She smiled and then twitched her lips without moving her eyes from mine. You know those girly looks that if done properly by the lady would set your body on fire, especially the part that swells and increases in length.

“Well, I have been rea….” I had enough torture from this girl over the past few weeks and since I knew what she was about to say, I swooped in and fused my lips with hers. I knew the reaction from her face even though my eyes were now closed; I knew that her eyes would be big as saucers now from the shock and her still firmly closed lips confirmed that. I later left her lips when it seemed like she wasn’t to open them. I opened my lips to see my earlier observation and continued with the now warm meal which was part of my plans anyway since Dotun came on time and didn’t allow me to cool my meal.

After taking a few lumps and she was still quiet, I decided to ask,

“Are you alright?” I asked to which she nodded and immediately resumed eating rather slowly. We ate in silence and after I cleared the whole place, I took a seat beside her on the couch facing the TV.

“What’s up with you?” I asked as I kept my right arm around her. She didn’t say anything but instead changed position and put her head on my shoulders and as usual, I started playing with her neck, hair and neck as I waited for her to say something.

“I have always wanted this but I just couldn’t see myself dating a guy shorter than I was but still I couldn’t seem to find a guy like you, who would listen to me and what I had to say. Seeing you that day was like a dream come true and despite the fact that you were taller, it still wasn’t enough but I was ready to put that aside but I couldn’t tell exactly if you were. But the past few weeks and especially today confirms that you want this as much as I do and cooking that meal really shows how much you know how to get to me. You are my imperfect prince charming Solomon and I could have had you long before now but it isn’t too late, is it?”

She asked, raising her head up and I answered by going for her lips again. She opened this time and our tongues danced together for a while.

“It’s never too late to find your imperfect prince charming.” I said after disengaging from her to which she chuckled and gave me a quick kiss before putting head on my thighs.

“Tell me how you knew cooking the meal I never knew how to for me would do the trick?” She asked with a huge smile on her face and with a deep sigh, I prepared to start the third phase – owing the whole of her.

The worst was over.
