HOW A ONE-NIGHT STAND Led to the Loss of My Marriage
I felt a soft tap on my shoulders and a distant voice trying to talk to me, I brushed my face and turned to the lady trying to direct me to the main office. Mr. Thomas stretched his hands, for a brief handshake then we got into the business of the day.
By 5 pm we were done, I was exhausted and needed to relax just as I was about to leave a Lady tapped me on the shoulder again, I turned and saw beautiful faith standing in front of me even when she was exhausted from workload stress she still managed to look beautiful.
“You look like you could use some rest sir, allow me to show you to our official guest house,” she said.
I barely heard anything I was so lost in the thought of how much she had changed since the last time I saw her, she had long plaited braid on her hair her chubby cheeks still remained to compliment her dimples.
In a few minutes, we were at the guest house I knew I made the mistake in school by not telling her anything. Being a man now I wasn’t afraid anymore, I asked her just as she handed over the keys if she was hungry and would like to get something to eat. Which she agreed to, she did all the talking till we finished eating, I just wanted to enjoy the moment knowing it would be short-lived for the day.
I knew this trip was only going to last a week so I decided to make the most of it………………………CONTINUE READING
I was so busy working the next day that I didn’t realize I had worked till 9 pm, my car wasn’t available so I understood that a car to drop me off would be hard, just when I thought it was going to be tough faith strolls in with a beautiful smile, I was itching to tell her we met years ago in school but I wanted to discover her type of person now, to know more about her I wasn’t going to rush this time.
While driving me back to the guest we got talking about a lot of things, she was so full of light that made me wonder why I never tried to talk to her back in school. Just as I was about to step out of the car she took my phone and dialed her personal number on my phone.
“ text me later, so we’ll talk better”, she said I knew this was the beginning of something beautiful, I hugged her and she drove off.
Days passed and somehow, we grew closer and enjoyed each other’s company this made work easier for me. I closed the deal successfully and got a congratulatory call from my boss, but I wasn’t feeling fulfilled it was Friday already I knew I’d have to travel back to Abuja on Sunday. I wasn’t to leave faith I couldn’t afford to let her go once again.
I picked up the phone to call her hoping to see again before I leave, a few seconds later I heard her voice on the phone, I couldn’t quite place it but she sounded bleak I wanted to see her hopefully, before leaving so, I asked if she could over to the guest house on Saturday, surprisingly she agreed………………………CONTINUE READING
I dropped the phone on the bed and slumped into the chair close to the table right next to the bed, I could feel all the emotions rushing back, I hadn’t felt this way since our university days I had been with other girls but with faith it was different. With her, everything was easy I didn’t have to force it there was no way I was going to let this slip away.
10 am on Saturday, I heard a knock on the door I walked to the door to open it and I saw her beaming with a wide smile on her face, she wore a red gown that complimented her beautiful body her braid plaits touched back completing her beautiful look. I offered her a sit in the living room while rushing to the kitchen to get her a cold drink from the fridge.
After talking and laughing for a long while I decided I was going to tell her everything not caring for the consequences. I dropped my drink and looked straight into her dreamy eyes and I said ” faith I’ve known you for a long time I know you might not remember me but I’ve known you since our university days”, just then she came over to my side of the chair and placed her soft hands on my face and said “I recognized you the moment I saw you at the airport”.
I opened my mouth in shock, I was relieved but also surprised, was this really happening? It seemed like she never forgot about me even after these years. I stared at her for some minutes too shocked to say a word………………………CONTINUE READING
