“You promise to be up there for just ten minutes?” Jabita said as he turned into the office building complex. Mimi rolled her eyes.
“Yesss! Stop joor, I am not a child Jabita” she said as he parked.
“Whatever, in and out ok?” Jabita said as he unlocked the central locks. Mimi opened the door and stepped out without another word. A gust of wind slapped her in the face which made her blink twice and stumble for just a moment.
She straightened her back and walked towards the entrance of the building, she heard a screech of tires and turns to see Jabita zoom off.
She shook her head and smiled – she appreciated his love for her and she loved him in return, one of the very few people she genuinely cared about.
She knew that he had her best interests at heart and that was why he told her. He hadn’t any need for the money that was offered him, he never would. At the thought of the cheque she began boiling again – the nerve! She had to stop to ask around because she had no idea where she was going. When she got to the top floor she was a little wowed at what she saw, the entire top floor was apparently his department and it looked like he decorated himself.
Everywhere a touch of class and orderliness. She was in his environment for the first time, the mere ambiance of the place had her hot with need but she ignored the feeling, she let her anger rise to the very top. She approached a sour faced looking woman at a large ornate desk that was neatly arranged. The woman was on the phone and didn’t look up as Mimi stood in front of her, she waited a few more seconds and couldn’t resist knocking loudly on the polished table.
She had the mind to walk past her and into what she presumed was Adewale’s office. The lady put her forefinger up to Mimi and went back to her conversation. Mimi was taken aback, she had no scruples when she was triggered and now this unattractive woman was getting on her last nerve. She ignored her and went around the table and towards the door. From behind her she heard the secretary’s chair scrape back.
“Miss! you can’t go in there!” but she ignored her and opened the door and walked in, the secretary rushing in after her. Adewale and his two guests were taken aback by his intrusion and the secretary was almost foaming at the mouth.
“Sir, please she barged in before I could stop her!” She muttered, Mimi gave her a steely look that shut her up. she turned her stare back to Adewale who stared back but his was more of surprise and amusement.
“Young lady, what are you looking for here?” one of the men said, Adewale removed the pen from his mouth and stood up.
“Gentlemen would you excuse us please?” He said closing the files before him.
“But Sir, we have a deadline” one of the spluttered, Adewale raised his eyebrow at the man, challenging him to say one more word. The two men quickly gathered their things and left with a still huffing secretary. Once the door had closed Adewale walked towards Mimi slowly with uncertainty. He wasn’t sure why she was there and she looked mad, quite mad.
“You must have some nerve Mr. Ogunniyi” Mimi said tossing her purse on the couch and placing her hands on her hips
“Adewale please” he said softly
“Not to me” she replied coldly
“How dare you offer my best friend money in exchange for me?!” she said, her voice had risen now and she was so incensed she hadn’t realized. Adewale froze, that son of a bitch!!
“Look, I can explain” Adewale said advancing towards her again while Mimi moved back a few steps.
“What is there to explain? What the fuck do you want from me?” She said her voice increasing again.
“Sshh, please keep your voice down, this is a place of business” Adewale said.
“Why the fuck should I? maybe if I invite your subordinates, it may encourage you to leave me the hell alone!” Adewale had had it, she was going to attract unwanted attention. The office was probably already buzzing with talks of his surprise guest. He closed the gap between them and pulled her against him by her waist, his free hand coming up to cover her mouth.
She was feisty and fierce, loud, but he could deal with that last part – he couldn’t have wanted her more than he did at that moment. Her soft body fit perfectly in his arms, she struggled in it and was probably shouting profanities at him but they were muffled by the stronghold he had on her.
“Look, I am sorry. I just needed to see you, talk to you.” Adewale said softly, she struggled some more.
“Come on Mmesoma, let us please talk. Like adults” She stared daggers back at him, she wasn’t interested, she continued to move in his arms. She hadn’t said all she needed to say yet.
“Ok, I am going to let you go slowly. Do you promise to sit down and be quiet?” Adewale said slowly releasing his hold just a little bit. Mimi stopped struggling, but her body was still tense, Adewale wished she could just relax, they had so much to talk about.
She stopped trying to speak as well, her eyes were still hard and unyielding and he vowed to fix that. She nodded, promising him that she would calm down. She could still say what she wanted to say without screaming right? He released his hold from her but did not let go completely, their faces were just inches from each other’s.
Mimi looked down at his lips for a second and back at his eyes and before either one of them knew what was happening, Adewale bent his head and smashed his lips against hers. Her body tensed even more, and she was unresponsive but he wasn’t about to give up now.
Mimi tried to control herself, she promised Jabita that she would, she could take care of herself, couldn’t she? but this man – this tall, delicious man had been on her mind and in her dreams since the day they met and the first time he held her like he was doing at the moment in his arms.
She opened her lips to the delicious taste of him, she remembered how he tasted, like how could she not? She wasn’t able to taste anything else! She let his tongue dive into her mouth and she shivered with need for him, the kiss became rough and demanding, expressing their need for each other.
Her arms came up and around his neck pulling him closer and he was all too willing to be as close to her as he could. His arms slid to her waist and before she knew what was happening, she was up in the air and her legs wrapped securely around him, they stayed glued together in that position for what seemed like forever, Adewale’s hands roaming and touching everywhere he could reach now that he had the chance.
He hoped he wasn’t dreaming and he hoped she wanted him for real, and as much as he wanted her and not because he could set her on fire with his molten kisses. He broke away from her lips and he was delighted to hear the soft groan of displeasure from her when he did so. He began to kiss her neck.
“I want you so much” he growled against her skin
“I have wanted you from the minute I laid my eyes on you” he kissed further and then began to take a step towards his giant mahogany desk. There he placed Mimi carefully and continued to coo in her ear.
“I have been looking forward to a moment like this where we would be alone” He said sucking on her neck and blowing softly on the swelling skin.
