She called the next day again saying she would be coming to Lagos with her sugar dad but wouldn’t have time to spend with me as she would spend just...30mins with me at the airport, I said ok by me at least we would get to see. She calls back later in the evening and says what if she told me she was in Lagos would I be able to come see her that night I said no, because I had work to resume the following day and that it was impromptu as I didn’t prepare for it. She said ok we will see the. He was right. I was playing an if only game with myself. If only I had been in the store that day; if only I had called her and asked her to take the day off. I had a list that would have gone for pages had I taken the time to write them down.As always, after talking with Hal, I felt like things were back in proportion, and I had a handle on them. When we parted, he reminded me that I could call him any time, day or night. He hadn't done that since I could remember; thus, I knew he was worried. Kirtsy's visits seemed to increase in frequency over time and she would always stop her little Ford car at the gate to talk to me. One day she said she had a joke on her phone that she wanted to send and me insisted I gave her my number. From that day on we started texting quite regular and I couldn't help but feel there was something saucy about a few of her comments. I liked it. It was late on a Friday night and I found myself half drunk sitting on the floor of my flat watching an episode of. I smiled and said, if i was him i dont think i could sleep next to someone so beautiful without wanting sex, well he doesnt seem to have any interest sadly. Why don't you take a lover i asked? No, i could never do that, i just couldnt. i understand. Then, we did not speak for two days and when i saw her on the porch again, i brought out a wine cooler. Oh, i could use a glass of wine right now, so i ran in and got her one of my coolers fresh from the fridge, handed it to her and said anything.
