STORY TIME!!!

Episode 15
My wife and her mother finally left for Abuja very early
on Tuesday morning, leaving me all alone in the
house. I really felt empty watching them leave but
there was nothing i could do than pray for God’s grace
and blessings.
I headed to my office later that morning to meet a
group of first year students who missed my biology
test waiting me. I quickly attended to them, by keeping
aside my strict policy and giving them a lengthy
assignment in place of the test.
As they left my office fifteen minutes later, Comfort
walked in with her usual deceiving smile. I instantly
kept a serious face on seeing her while the events of
the previous week flashed into my mind. Mrs
Nnamdi’s curious stare slowly appeared in head. The
image of how she ran into us at a restaurant slowly
played in my head.
“what is it again?” i coldly asked Comfort who simply
kept smiling with her eyes on me. A situation that
made me very uncomfortable, but before i could say
another word, a knock landed on my door which slowly
opened as the senator’s daughter who i followed to
her house the previous day, walked in with a lightly
wrapped small basket. She appeared a bit surprised on
seeing Comfort but still maintained her composure as
she dropped the basket on my table.
“good morning sir, we forgot wrapping up something
for you yesterday. It’s just the anniversary gifts. My
mum specially packed this for you” she explained
calmly.
“wow do thank your mum for me. I really can’t wait to
see what she packed inside, but i guess i will have to
save the pleasure till i get home” i said humorously.
She shrugged, laughed and left while comfort’s face
coloured deeply as she silently watched the drama.
“you know seriously our closeness is getting out of
hand. People easily read meaning out of nothing” i
quickly scolded her as soon as we were alone once
again. She stood up, went to my office entrance door
and locked it, forcing me to sprang up with surprise.
“what’s wrong with you?, what do you want?” i asked
with a slightly raised tone.
“you know what i want. I’m not after your money nor
anything. I want your person not your personality. I
want you as my Caleb and not as my Lecturer” she
said frankly with no holds barred.
“you are just trying to mess with my head. I know you
want something else from me” i breathed.
“what else can i possible want from you apart from a
relationship?” she pushed.
“no this is strange, very strange. A girl telling me she
loves me?. Oh no it isn’t possible. It never happened
when i was a student and single. Surely it can’t be
possible” i breathed aloud. She drew closer and
wrapped her hands around my neck.
“there isn’t any harm, giving it a trial to confirm my
true feelings. Kiss me” she invited provocatively. I
stared at her lips and swallowed hard. The temptation
was just too great and irresistible but i couldn’t
imagine myself getting down with her in my office.
“just a kiss” she invited again.
