When Paul, fondly called by his friends
was in secondary school, he was the cynosure of all eyes. Handsome very dark
complexioned with beautiful dentition, he smiled a lot and that endeared him to
so many hearts.
His admirers were mostly women, especially
those married and good looking. They were ready to offer all that he wanted
just to have him. His first date was a woman who stayed in the same
neighbourhood with him. Kate, a mother, slim and beautiful was married to a
Sailor who was seldom at home. He was on duty in the ship for almost all the
months in a year. But the good thing was when John was on leave, he stayed at
home for six months.
One of the months that John was out in the
ship, Kate was with her two children Helen and Kingsley. Helen was four years
old while Kingsley was two years old. She wasn’t working but she had a
supermarket in Aba
Hello, please may I help you?
“Oh thank you very much. You came to my
rescue, she came out of the car sweating profusely.
Paul drove the car out and even helped her
to warm other cars. “Madam, the battery light is on”
“What does that mean?”
“It means the alternator may not be
charging fully. You need to inform a technician to look at it”.
“Thank you very much. I don’t know when
you will be less busy to help me get a technician”
“I am very busy this period. I have started
my examination, do you mind waiting?”
“I wouldn’t mind”. She looked at Paul
again and again with admiration in her eyes, she said something that other
women have been telling him.” You are handsome Paul. You look to big to be in
secondary school.
How old are you?
“I’m 22 ‘Ma’!
“Please remove ma”, I’m just in the mood
this morning to be addressed that way, Paul. I prefer to be called Katy. Just
call me Katy alright. My name is Kate but my friends call me Katy. Do you mind
if I call you Polo?”
“No I don’t mind”
Alright, Polo, I will see you when you are
through with your exams. Just feel free to come to my house. The flat on the
first floor. Come either in the morning or late in the evening. I’m always in
my shop in the afternoon”. When Paul was about walking away, Kate called him
back “wait let me give you some cash for a cab”
Kate went upstairs to her room and came
down with some money for Paul for a taxi.” Just have this .I don’t want you to
be late for your exams. I have already delayed you”. Paul went away smiling .He
admired Kate too. Although married with two children, he wouldn’t mind being
her friend. ”Just a mere friend but if that will lead to a more sizzling
relationship I wouldn’t mind” he soliloquized.
When Paul was through with his examination,
he stopped over at Kate house to check her up.
They gradually started a relationship that
turned out to be sizzling in deed. He took the car for repair and from that
time, Paul became a regular visitor. Kate’s children become fond of him. He was
most often playing with the children, taking them out on picnic, driving them
to school and bringing them back home. He became so attached to Kate and her
children and they all love to see him daily.
A day came when Paul drove them to their
friend’s birthday party and brought them back late. Kate wasn’t happy about
that and she spoke to Paul angrily. ”Why did you bring them back late? It ‘s
late now check your time”
“Paul apologized and with a sulky face
dropped her car key on the table and headed for the staircase .That was when
Kate pursued him and held him. She looked right into his eyes and saw nothing
but passion. An incident took place right in the staircase which kicked off a
sizzling after between them.
