Chapter 3 Episode 3

After my friends left, I laid on the sofa thinking about everything they said.

No doubt Raymond is very cute and acts maturely with his British accent but as Lucy said, throwing myself on him will make me look desperate, I thought.

Hard as I tried to remove Raymond from my mind, I couldn't. I spent the whole Saturday and Sunday thinking about him.

Monday came and before 7 am Raymond arrived. Instead of my warehouse, I drove him to a Chinese restaurant with an excuse that I was too tired to cook at home and wanted to have breakfast at the restaurant and he should join me.

I ordered for two plates of fried rice with roasted fish for myself and Raymond and a bottle of red wine, we ate and drank silently.

You seem very anxious to start work, I said breaking the silence.

Sure I'm anxious. Staying at home all day for three good years hasn't been nice at all, Raymond replied.

I nodded and sighed not knowing how to shoot my shot at Raymond. After racking my brain for a while, I decided to go about it Indirectly.

So what's your female spec? I asked.

I love beautiful fair girls. Tall or average height with curvy shape and are very intelligent and good in bed, Raymond said.

Your spec describes me, I replied with a smile.

So what's your male spec? Raymond asked.

I like dark guys. Tall well built ones with beards. I really love intelligent guys cus I don't have energy for dull kids, I replied.

Well I have all that, Raymond said.

Yes you do, I replied.

Raymond sighed.

I could tell from his sigh he knew I was trying to tell him I like him.

So don't you like guys that are good in bed, cus I have an excellent in bed, Raymond teased.

We are in an open place please, mind your words. I'm a disciplined person and I watch how I speak in public, I replied.

I understand but I think everybody here is minding their business and if anyone choose to listen to us, that's his or

Her cup of tea, Raymond replied.

I shook my head.

I'm mindful of how I speak in public, I repeated.

Ok fine, Raymond replied.

We continued to gist and before I knew it I had blurted my entire life story to Raymond.

After we left the restaurant, I felt like I have known Raymond for a lifetime.

I dropped Raymond in my warehouse and fixed him in the position of assistant sales representative, before driving to my office.

The whole week turned out really busy and I was more than excited when Friday came and my friends brought up an open party invite. I invited Raymond to join us and happily, he accepted.

The party turned out really fun, I realized Raymond to be a very good dancer. I wasn't good at dancing and he took time to teach me dance steps. Jeremy and bella were free around him and even twerked for him which I know was to make me jealous but Lucy was withdrawn from him, if Raymond danced and went where Lucy stood, she trickly moved away and avoided every close contact with him. Twice I notice Lucy steal glances at Raymond like she was trying to convince herself of something about him.

Toward the ending of the party, pop music was replaced with blues. The song was already erotic and Raymond made matters worse by whispering sensual words to me. I was shaking and wriggling all over Raymond when the party was over.

I managed to drop my friends at their houses before driving back to my house.

Please Raymond talk no more, I begged as we got out of the car and walked to my front door.

Immediately I unlocked the door, Raymond began kissing me, I couldn't control myself and kissed back.

One thing lead to another and we had sex in my sitting room.

The next morning I was woken up by smell of coffee and fried egg.

I opened my eyes to Raymond sitting on my bed with a tray containing a glass of warm milk, plate of egg and bread.

Good morning, Raymond greeted with a charming smile.

Morning, how did I get on bed? I asked.

After yesterday drama, you slept off so I carried you to bed, Raymond said.

That's too sweet of you and now this? Oh God, How I miss breakfast on bed. The last time I was served breakfast on bed was like five years ago by my college lover in America. You are a darling, I said and sat up.

Raymond shifted forward and gave me a light kiss.

So which do I start? I asked.

Milk, I replied myself.

I giggled and removed the glass from the tray. Immediately the glass slipped from my hand and broke on the floor spilling the milk inside it on the floor.

Hardly had I lifted the glass out of the tray, it slipped out of my hand and broke on the floor spilling the milk on the floor.

I'm sorry, Raymond apologized.

I will clean this up, I said and tried getting up from bed but Raymond held me back.

I'm at your service today. Eat the bread and egg while I take care of this, Raymond replied sweetly.

I blushed.

Don't bother making another milk, just water from the freezer will do, I whispered.

At your service her majesty, Raymond replied.

I laughed and shook my head.

I was enjoying the fried egg and bread when Raymond came back with bottled water and a glass.

I finished eating and went to refresh, Raymond insisted on joining me in the bathroom, I opposed but gave in after an argument.

We had a warm bath and later settled to watch Korean movie, I laughed very hard when Raymond cracked a joke about Nigerian girls loving Korean actors and getting bedded by their village men.

In the afternoon, we prepared lunch together and fed each other and played scrabble game. Evening came, we had a stroll holding hands and dinner at an eatery. We went back home to have a cold bath with intense lovemaking.

The next morning, I woke up very early to prepare for service. I dropped Raymond off before going to church.
