THE HEART OF A WOMAN = EPISODE 2
Early Monday morning, i headed to the office with my hopes up. I just couldn’t wait to see the young photographer who captured my heart with a click.
I truly took great pains dressing up that fateful morning, making sure i looked as beautiful as ever. My heart kept throbbing as if i was having my first date. I couldn’t believe i was so blindly attracted to a mere photographer who wasn’t even my age mate.
By 10:50am, i was notified of his presence. My spirit lit up, leaving me with intense joy as i watched him walk into my office like a frightened school boy. I smiled politely, flashing him a very inviting look in the process while he quickly looked down as if he was embarrassed.

“Good morning. I brought the pictures” he greeted. I nodded, offered him a seat and took the pictures, quickly going through them.
His work was very adorable and it made me more pleased with him. (I do admire people who are good with what they do).
“You know, i was expecting your call. You never called to tell me that you were bringing the pictures” i said calmly. He quickly shrugged with a shoulder.
“I’m very sorry. I just didn’t want to bother you with such a little thing. I felt it was better showing up without disturbing you with a phone call” he explained apologetically.
“It’s okay. Your work is very superb. Seems like you have been doing this for years” i said with a smile. He breathed deeply and smiled with me.
“Not really, i started the job few months ago after tirelessly searching for a job” he explained while i stared at him curiously. A bit lost over his last comment.
“Actually I’m a graduate of IMSU, graduated three years ago. It’s now a year and some months after NYSC yet i haven’t been fortunate to get a job. I had to look for a means to survive” he explained humorously, but i didn’t find the revelation funny. Instead i was deeply touched.
“so which course did you study?” i asked,
“Economics” he answered,
“hmmm that’s good” i murmured as i stared at him searchingly. I truly was impressed to discover he was a graduate.
“so are you making a lot from photography?” i asked curiously. He shrugged and said nothing.
“will you like to work in a hotel?” i asked, even though there really wasn’t any vacant position for him. But instead of answering, he stared at me curiously.
“as the assistant cashier” i added with a nod. His eyes quickly lit up with excitement.
“of course ma, if you find me worthy” he said happily,
“fine. Early tomorrow come in with your C.V” I concluded. He couldn’t believe himself and it showed by the excitement in him. He thanked me a hundred times over.
“so how much for the pictures?” i asked,
“don’t bother about the pictures madam. Just have them” he said happily but i refused and gave him five thousand Naira which he hesitantly collected before leaving.
Deep down I was very excited to have him working for me. It was the only way to have him close and i cashed on it.
Surprisingly I felt like a young female teenager who just got her first boyfriend.
Having kelvin under my payroll wasn’t only a good personal decision but a wonderful business decision as well. He proved to be a hardworking cheerful guy who turned things around for me.
Perhaps my affection towards him made me hold anything he did in high esteem, that notwithstanding he did a perfect job in the hotel, very loyal, smart and sharp in everything.
I slowly created a very close working relationship with him, which quickly grew into a harmless friendship. He told me all about himself, his old parents and siblings who were expecting much from him while i told him some of my little secrets.
Against Amara’s advice, i showed him where i lived, urged him to be very free with me, and equally began behaving a bit funny and carefree whenever we were together which he took time understanding.
Slowly and steadily after our friendship developed into something much more intense yet still harmless. We began spending some evenings together and i had no problem introducing him to my social circle amidst heavy criticism from friends, yet i was unperturbed because i felt i could mould him into an eye catching celebrity.
I began putting his interest as my top priority, completely losing my mind in the process. I was so much in love with him.
Every day i yearned to have him, i dreamt of having him inside me but it wasn’t in my place to make the final move. It was his to make, but unfortunately he seemed scared to make the important move. It was as if he was unsure of my feelings. It all showed in his eyes. I eagerly waited, dying in silence.
Finally on the first Monday of May 2009, he brought a beautiful flower to me.
“happy new month” he smiled with affection. I closed my eyes with deep happiness.
“finally, at last” i breathed with great relieve. I knew he was finally mine. My perfect object, my creation. I had great plans for him.
“wow what a surprise. It’s so beautiful” i screamed with great delight while he smiled happily.
“i’m glad you are happy. Seriously i do owe you a lot. I just don’t know how to repay you for turning my life around. You are an angel” he said sweetly. I blushed over his nice words. I was so carried away and happy.
“how about we hang out later in the evening. It’s my own way of saying thank you over this beautiful gift” i added and winked at him.
“sure of course” he accepted without any hesitation. I breathed deeply. There was no doubt he was finally mine.

We had a very wonderful evening at Mbari kitchen where we spent close to two hours gisting and joking. He told me funny stories about his university days while i used up my energy laughing over his funny tales. He really was perfect in everything. He kept saying the nicest things, filling my head with nice words that melted my heart like an icecream. I so much enjoyed the evening.
We ended up at his house by 9pm, because I gave him a ride home since he had no car of his own.
“i so much enjoyed the evening. Thanks” i breathed with delight as he made to alight from my car. He froze for a second, drew close and {switched on the car interior light} which instantly shone on us, lightening up his face.
My heart throbbed widely as we silently stared at each other. I so much wanted him to brave up and get his feelings out.
Slowly his eyes fell on my chest, devouring my bosoms which were half exposed under the revealing blouse i wore. My heartbeat increased, my expectation grew immensely. I knew something was bound to happen.
“let’s have another drink in my apartment. The night is still young?” he suggested with a dirty smile,
“hmmm is that a good idea?” i pretended to hesitate.
“sure yes. I don’t want this wonderful moment to end so soon” he murmured. I rolled my eyes, breathed deeply and followed him without another word.
Finally, as soon as we got to his apartment and the door shut behind us. He held me strongly and kissed me with great passion. My head instantly overflowed with desire.
“Forgive me. I have being dying in silent for so long. I want you” he breathed. His eyes strong with great passion. I closed my eyes. I just couldn’t say anything, i was so overcome with happiness.
We were soon on his bed where he took his time making love to me with by legs fully parted and his huge being thrusting deeper and deeper beyond my expectations.
He was so accurate and directly hitting down the walls of my inner being, releasing unexplainable excitements into my system. His kisses were so on point. His caresses strong and superb. He simply lit my body on fire as my legs were tightly wrapped round his waist line, while i moaned away with all my might. He was so wondrous.
“i love you with all my soul. You can’t just imagine the kind of love i have for you” he breathed into my ear when we were done making love. I smiled and looked up at him lazily.
” I Love you my queen” he murmured before brushing my lips with his again and sending me back to paradise.
“I wish i have something better to offer you. I’m just a poor boy with nothing” he suddenly added, dropping his face sadly.
“You know when my parents abandoned my siblings and invested in me with everything they got. They thought once i graduate, that their sacrifices will be repaid. But here i’m years after graduating. I still have nothing. Since I’m unable to offer my family anything, what then can i offer to a rich wonderful lady like you?” he lamented, leaving me extremely touched by his outburst.
“you shouldn’t be saying such things in our first night together” i pleaded with great feelings. He breathed deeply and kissed me again,
“yea you are right, but i’m scared you will get over me someday, moreover i’m your employee” he concluded. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply.
“kelvin please it’s okay” i commanded with a sigh. He nodded, smiled and buried his face on my bosoms, tickling me at the same time.
His words really had great effect on me, pushing me to discard my selfish interest and help him further.
I had the contacts to get something good for him, but it could only mean that he wouldn’t be under my care and control anymore. I made up my mind that same night to push him into greatness.
“He is mine already and nothing will change it. Polishing him more will equally be good for my image” i reasoned.
I never knew the cunning bastard simply wanted to use me as a stepping stone. I was so f*****g deceived into believing he was in love with me.
