Boma decided she was not going to tell
Nick what transpired between her and his new neighbor that afternoon before
coming to his office. It was going to be her secret game and she was sure going
to have fun doing what she had in mind. This idea to play games with the neighbor
didn’t occur to her until she spoke with him and discovered he saw her standing
Unclad at the backyard balcony on Saturday evening.
He didn’t have to say it, his reaction
said it all.
She had recognized him once he walked
into
the office hall. She had also noticed
that he had
walked up to her because she was female
and
he was somehow attracted to her. There
were
other customer care agents who weren’t
engaged at the moment but he chose to
walk
up to her. He could be calm and gentle;
perhaps a born-again Christian, but he
still had
the male instinct in him. It’s funny how
God
created men with this uncontrollable
instinct
and still expect them to be perfect and
monogamous, she thought.
“Good day sir,” she had quickly saluted
with a
broad professional smile on her lips. She
was
aware of the effect this smile had on
men. “How
may I help you?”
“Thank you, I want to inquire about your
internet package for offices.”
“Alright sir, I will definitely be able
to help you.”
quickly, she told him all he needed to
know
about their internet services.”
He had concentrated on her face as she
spoke
to him but she couldn’t tell what was
going on
in his mind. The face had remained
straight
forward and it enabled him conceal all
internal
emotions perfectly. Perhaps he was just
interested in the business that brought
him her
and wouldn’t have time to flirt with her.
But she
wasn’t going to give up. There was
something
about this man that had aroused Boma’s
curiosity. He was good looking but that
was not
her cause of interest. It was the
righteous aura
he exhumed as he walked and talked. He
looked and acted like a good, if not
perfect,
man. He looked like he would be a hard
knot to
untie and it felt like a challenge to
her. It was
like a difficult sexual adventure;
something new
that she had not tried before. She was
going to
untie him and find out if he was really
perfect.
“Thank you very much for that detailed
information. I will get back to you once
we
make a decision on which package to go
for.”
Paul replied.
“I will be looking forward to seeing you
sir.
Meanwhile you can have this flier with
you, it
has in it all the information I gave
you.”
“Aright.” He replied and took the paper
from
her.
“Why do I feel I have met you before
sir?” she
asked, just as he was about to leave.
He stopped and concentrated on her once
again. “Are you sure? Which church do you
attend?”
“I am very sure I didn’t meet you in the
church
sir. Oh get it… you are my friend’s new
neighbor. I recall seeing you pack your
belongings into your new home at Rich
Green
Estate last weekend.”
She was right, he thought, “You must be
very
observant. Yes I just packed into the
estate.”
“I hope you like your new environment. I
don’t
stay there though; I just came to see a
friend.”
“You don’t stay there?” he asked and Boma
though she saw a trace of disappointment
on
his face. But Paul was wondering how she
was
able to see and take note of him to
easily. He
wondered which house among the ones in
his
new neighborhood she had seen and noted
him
from.
This was her chance to go for the kill,
she
thought. “Yes, I came to visit the single
male
bachelor who shared the same view with
your
back yard. That was the day you were
packing
in. I remember standing at the back yard
balcony, and watching your building.”
And she instantly noticed and intense
look on
his face. He was remembering something.
That
was when she knew he saw her. He suddenly
looked guilty and uncomfortable.
“I was Unclad…” she said and let the
words
sink. “I hope nobody saw me from your
house,”
she apologetically added.
This gave him the courage to speak out.
“You
were the Unclad girl from the neighbor’s
balcony? How could such a pretty
responsible
looking girl like you act like that? Do
you not
have respect for God?”
“Excuse me sir,” she politely said,
looking all
innocent and ignorant, “I am sorry if my
unclothedness offended you. It’s not my
fault
that I don’t meet your expectation all
because
you have a pretty wife. I didn’t even
know that
someone was watching me from your house.”
Paul didn’t understand why she was lying.
Wasn’t she the one who had brought it up?
Was she expecting him to smile at her and
tell
her well done for coming out of her house
Unclad? Yet her last statement had made
him
remember watching and almost admiring the
body. “Of course you should know that you
will
be seen.”
“And I looked so ugly that it offended
you?” she
tried to look hurt.
Paul actually thought she was serious, “I
didn’t
say you were ugly,” he defended and
almost
took back his words.
“Oh… Thank you.” she smiled. It was her
best
smile and it was appealing. “Thank you
Mr.
Paul, I will be looking forward to seeing
you
again,” she quickly said, once again
looking all
professional. “Please I will be here in
case you
want anything… and I mean anything.”
He understood what she meant but didn’t
know
what to say. He just picked up the flier
and
walked away. He already swore within
himself
that he would never come back to the
office
again.
But even as he walked away, Boma knew he
would be back. She was yet to start with
him,
this was only the beginning.
