As she walked into the restaurant, she took in the information she needed to know about the place in case anything went wrong.
She didn't feel safe around the vicinity.
She hated secret meetings particularly the ones that involved someone her boss didn't want to have anything with.
As she walked towards the bar, she thought of what would happen if Roshan saw her with Saheed but she still needed to know what was going on between those two.
She called the number again and informed him she was waiting for him, he directed her to the VIP section.
She met him seating alone, sipping in a bottle of Hennessey and a stick of cigarette that wasn't lit was in his hand.
So, he smokes?
She didn't sit very close to him, but there was a little proximity between them.
"Good evening." She greeted him.
"Evening beautiful."
"Do you know how much I want you?" The man on the television screen said to the lady that sat close to him."Must you always bring up the topic?" She asked, clearly annoyed."I really can't live without you, please give me a chance." He begged. Meanwhile, the lady picked up her bag and stormed out of the room, he went after her pleading as he made each step."What's wrong with the girl sef?" Ben hissed and changed the channel. "Movie wey no get head. (A meaningless movie.)" She scrolled through the list of channels and finally settled for Natgeo wild, a channel that showed the documentary of animals. It was better than the movie she was seeing before.Beep, beep.Her phone began to beep, she picked it to check the caller. It was Esther, been a while she heard from her, she quickly picked up."Ben." Esther began."You abi? (You right?)" She was mad
Jamil invited Roshan and Ben over for his thirtieth birthday dinner, the two arrived at different time Ben being the late one, she wore a dinner gown that was black in color, fitting perfectly into her fair skin, the gown stopped at her feet and had a knee cut. She wore a 3 inches heel, she didn't need something taller, she was tall enough.Walking into the dinner hall, she became the cynosure of all eyes.She looked really beautiful, her fair skin glowing."Hello celebrant." She swerved towards where Jamil was standing with his wife." "Happy birthday Mr Jamil." She gave him a neatly wrapped present. "Good day ma'am, you look so beautiful." She complimented his wife, who wore a red abaya with a black turban tied over her head."So, do you." She smiled at Ben."Thank you so much Ben." Jamil thanked her. "My love, meet Ben Roshan's new secretary." He introduced them."I suppose, she's your wife." Ben smiled at her."Sure." Jamil nodded."Nice meeting you." Been stretched her hand out fo
After the dance two weeks ago, things have changed between them.They were now close like they've known each other for a long time, he was seating in front of her grinning heavily at what she just said, teasing her was his new found hobby, she hissed before switching off the computer that was in front of her.They left her office together, they got to his car and after discussing at length. He opened the door and they both hopped into the car."You're such a baby, Ben." Toba said as he wore the seatbelt."Thanks big man." She chuckled, doing dqmd. "So, what's up?" She asked, replying to a message that just popped on her phone screen."Where are we heading?" He asked."I'm tired and I just wanna go home." She whined like a baby, and he just smiled at her."Told you earlier, you're just a baby." He repeated and she rolled her eyes at him."B
"You have to meet up with..." She looked into his schedule for the day and stopped when she didn't see something clearly. "Oh yeah, sorry I didn't look into it before coming over. You have to meet up with Alhaji Alli, CEO Alli enterprises. He would be arriving Nigeria today by 12pm and he fixed a meeting with you by 2pm." She told him but he didn't budge, he fixed his eyes on her but she didn't notice cos she wasn't staring at him. "That would be all for today." She closed the tab and finally looked at him, her eyes met with his and she swallowed hard."I'll take my leave now." She hung her head low and took a step."Don't leave yet." He blurted out and she stopped at her tracks, not looking back at him. She wasn't sure what was happening, why did she feel so reserved towards him today?She turned to face him and smiled nervously. "Any problem?" She asked and he stood up, her heart was thumping hard and she could almost feel it popping out of her chest, he walked towards her gently and
Ben woke up to the brightness of the sun, it hardly rained there and that was a major problem in the northern region of the country. The lands were arid and she wondered how their crops were able to germinate without enough rainfall to sustain it.It was Sunday already, a Sabbath day to keep holy. She jolted out of bed and quickly rushed into the bathroom, she took a quick bath and brushed her teeth. She ran back to the room after she was done, she took a quick glance at the wall clock and realized she was already late for mass.One thing she loathed so much was going late to church and she couldn't just stay back at home on Sundays. She did the needful and stepped out of her house, she board a cab and soon the cab arrived in front of the magnificent building, the car halted and she stepped out after paying the cabman. She walked into church and joined the other members that came late.It was already time for the second re
Her wish since she was very little, was to visit the warm spring in Ikogosi, Ekiti state. She's heard a lot about the recreational center and she had been looking forward to visit with her best friend someday.But there she was, standing and watching the water from where it originated with the one man she loved most on earth, it's been months and they've gone far in their relationship. She never thought he was serious, she never knew he'd take her seriously but he did. She loved him and she was sure he felt same way towards her, the way he looked at her showed his feelings, the things he did for her, the things he did to her, how he spoke about her to friends made her rest assured he was the right one."I wish Ben was here." Esther said linking her hand with David's. "We always planned to come here together." She told him letting out a smile."You can always call her to come over." He looked at her."From
It was weekend again, Ben hated weekend cos the days made her laze around the house, and she loved it in another way cos she had two days to rest before starting the new week's stress.She set out to get her toiletries, the blinding sun was out again. On the way, she met the housing agent that helped with the her apartment. Been a while they saw each other, she exchanged pleasantries with him and noticed there was a lady standing close to him."Hello." The lady greeted Ben, she smiled at her and waved her before proceeding to where she was heading to.The agent left with the lady afterwards. Ben got to the mini mart and went directly to where toiletries were packed, she picked a few things, paid the cashier and strolled back to her house thinking of the activities she'd engage in when she gets home.It's been a while she heard from Esther and her parents, she missed her mom so much and she wondered why she
"Have you eaten lunch yet?" He walked into her office and towards her desk, he stood straight in her front.When did he start caring about her? It was strange."No?" She looked up at him, he had a small smile on his face. "No." She answered."You weren't sure before?" He chuckled."I was sure just kinda strange you care about if I've eaten or not. Are you trying to make up for the kiss you stole?""Was that a stolen kiss?" He smiled staring intently at her. "And do you really want me to make up for it?" He asked, his eyes still fixated on her."Yes, it was cos I didn't give you the permission to go ahead and yes, I want you to make up for it." The way he stared at her made her face heat up and she didn't love the fact that she was blushing stupidly."How?" He asked, sitting down and crossing his long legs."How do you think?" She ret
