Chapter Eight
Nahlela
I had just settled down in the office when Nadine rushed into the office and started whispering “He is here; he is here”. I asked her who she was talking about and when she said Jam Timi, my face fell immediately.
“Are you not supposed to be happy girl?” she asked.
“I think he is coming to report me to the boss. I kind of insulted him.”
“what do you mean by that? It is either you insulted him or not”
“When I approached him, before I could offer one word, he told me he is not interested. He thought I was propositioning him and when I finally introduced myself and said I am a journalist who wants to write an article about him, he implied that I am trying to use my looks in getting him to do an interview so I told him off and walked away.”
“Wow girl, so he said you were sexy?”

NahlelaLast night, I forgot to set my alarm and by the time I woke up, it was already six o’clock. If I didn’t hurry up, I was going to be late. As I was coming out from the bathroom, my phone was ringing and it was my boss. Early morning calls from my boss usually meant more work. I picked up and he told me that Jam called him and informed him of the meeting we had today and he told me not to bother coming in. I was about to tell him that we had no meeting when he dropped the call. I checked my WhatsApp messages and I saw a message from Mr arrogant. It was the location he was talking about last night so I sent him a reply “I will need a better description. There’s no way I am showing a bike rider or Taxi driver this; I will look stupid.”I didn’t expect him to reply immediately, but he did two seconds later

Timi I was just from dropping Amanda off at her place when I met I met Nahlela. When she saw me, she quickly put on her sun shades and bent her head. I knew calling her last night was a bad idea but I still did. I was with Amanda when I called and I noticed that Amanda’s mood changed and she started frowning but I didn’t care. From the start, I had told her that I wasn’t looking for a relationship. What we shared was just sex. We were compatible in bed and that was all that mattered. I didn’t tell her personal stuff and she didn’t tell me anything too. When we hung out, we had sex, talked about nothing serious and then more sex. No personal information was exchanged. We didn’t even do the “how was your day” shit. We didn’t go on dates because dates meant opening up and we had decided against that. I always insisted on giving her money but she told me that she had money of her own and she wasn’t sleeping with me for money; so I settled on

CHAPTER ELEVENNahlelaI felt bad that Timi came right to my parent’s place to drop me, so I invited him in. Dad recognized him and they immediately started talking about football. When I joined mom in the kitchen to set the table for dinner, she tried asking me questions about him but I told her that I was interviewing him for an article and we had a meeting today. She tried to dig deeper but there was nothing more to say. Mom always complained that I was not dating anyone and I was growing old, so she always tried as much as possible to encourage me to go out more. Once or twice, she had tried to set me up on dates with her colleague’s sons but I didn’t even go because going meant giving her hope and I was not giving her false hope and of course, I wasn’t wasting my time. I saw Timi looking at family pictures on the wall and I thought he was going to bring

TimiThe same way I didn’t plan on ending my arrangement with Amanda but did it anyway, was the same way I didn’t plan on texting Nahlela but I did. I read somewhere that midnight was the best time to text girls because the lonely ones will always reply and so, I decided to try my luck. I was surprised when she replied and I was shocked when she told me about her twin sister. I had noticed their pictures at her parents’ house, but I didn’t want to bring up the issue because it was a sad story. I knew a few things about Nahlela from stalking her on Facebook but I pretended as if I knew nothing and waited for her to tell me everything herself.I had spoken about my family with Nahlela and it was a first for me. I had never told any girl anything about my background. Some looked up information about me from google and tried prying for more but I never told them anything. I was letting her in

NahlelaNadine and I finally decided to celebrate her “birthday” at Manjong Night Club. Since it was far from her place and closer to mine, the Plan was for her to stay at my place when we got back. That was just a plan because we both knew there was a high possibility that she will end up in the bed of a random stranger even though we preferred not to talk about it.I was surprised when I saw Timi walk into the club. I didn’t expect him to come over and greet us. When I invited him to join us, I was just being polite and I didn’t even expect him to accept. Before his cousin came, there was no tension because Nadine focused on him but everything changed once Nadine and Brandon started bonding. It was a relief when he asked me to dance because we were just sitting at the table staring at each other awkwardly and saying nothing. When I wen

TimiBreaking the kiss was the most difficult thing I had done in a long while but it had to be done. Things were getting out of hand and if we continued kissing for one more minute, I don’t think I was ever going to stop. Her body was soft and enticing and her curves were perfect. Her breast fit perfectly in my hands and let me not even talk about the burning sensation I felt when she placed her hands on my stomach and traced the line down to my navel. I had this feeling of loss when I broke the kiss. Telling her that we will meet at practice was a dick move and I knew it pissed her off but then reminding her that I won was satisfying in a way.When I left her, I went to my room and had a cold shower. It was my second one in less than three hours but it was very necessary. Sleeping under the same roof with Nahlela but in different rooms was a very effective form of torture. I wish I coul

TimiI waited in the car for about ten minutes before Nahlela came down. She looked as beautiful as ever. She said she didn’t want to go anywhere far and she suggested Chambo Masters Inn which wasn’t far from her house. I didn’t know the place so she gave me directions as we went. it was an old building which looked like it had seen better days. There was soot on the wall in front which was probably from the fire place which was used in roasting meat which was popularly known as suya. The music was low and there was a television at one corner which was showing a football match. The place was filled with men and boys who were watching the match together. I spotted an empty table at one corner and led Nahlela there. I asked Nahlela if she was comfortable and she said she was okay. When we were settled down, a waiter appeared and took our orders. Both of us ordered for Smirnoff

NahlelaWhen Timi pitched me his ridiculous proposal or business arrangement or whatsoever at Chambo Masters, I got so angry and left. As I was stepping outside, a bike was just from dropping someone there so I took the bike and went home. When I heard a knock on the door, I thought it was one of my neighbours, so I opened the door without asking who it was. I was about slamming the door in his face but he blocked it with foot and then he let himself in. I wanted to unleash all my anger on him, I wanted to hit him, bite him, strangle and do anything and everything possible to inflict pain on him but I was normally not a violent person and most unfortunately, I didn’t even have the strength to. As he stood there talking to me, all I wanted was for him to leave. He had seriously disrespected me and it hurt because he was someone I was starting to feel comfortable and even tru
