NELSON'S POV I parked my lavish car some meters away from the Haile Selassie Avenue. I had long planned this meeting for a long time and you could for once think that I worked with The Professor of La Casa De Papel because at this moment I knew it deep within my bones that I was going to meet her. All the odds pointed to that fact. God knows how much I have always wanted to meet her. The plan was the meeting to be accidental so that is why I took it upon myself to drop my fat wallet just in front of her and pretended not to entirely pay attention to dropping it. She was a full grown woman compared to the time her age was described to me by the person who last saw her Her hips had broadened and her waistline was so perfect. Her body practically looked like an hourglass. You would for once think that she was actually out of a very good institution with good gyms and related facilities. Actually, that is not the case since she was jailed for the last ten years and she had just been freed recently and I bet that is what she was keeping a secret from everyone except me because I had been waiting on her for the past ten years. The court and the jury had dealt with her but I had not dealt with her yet. I presumed that she would be wearing a dress tonight because jail life made her end up wearing baggy pants and I was absolutely right. I know she knows that she has a perfect figure and that is why she wanted to show in all circumstance possible. I don’t blame her though, jail life can be tough and draining. Once again, I had planned our meeting so perfectly. The black, short off shoulder dress she was in made me grin and my manhood rose at how sexy her legs protruded under that short dress. The Y s*x chromosome in males cannot make you resist a hot woman no matter her character. I loved strong kick-ass women since Mary and that is exactly what I went for tonight. I was quite a catch so I was very certain that he would fall to my trap when it happens. “Sir, you dropped your wallet!” Her sweet voice brought me to a standstill even after pretending not to pay attention as kept on running behind me. Well, the first surprise is here. I didn’t know she had a sweet voice. I assumed since she went to jail, her voice would be hoarse and deep. I don’t even know if I am still making sense right now. I turned to look at her face. She had a round face with her brown eyes perfectly gracing it. With thick lashes, ruddy and flawless skin color, she was almost a replica of her cousin Mary. Mary was the love of my life, well, before anything. Everything I was looking for was in-front of me. Her moist lips laced with a marron lipstick just made me quiver with excitement from the top of my head, to the tip of my little foot. Her short perfectly styled hair was too attractive to me. Her lips begged me to kiss them and I just stood there mesmerized as if I had been pinned to the ground. She was beautiful, yet a filthy criminal who had spent the last ten years in jail. Focus Nelson, you are not supposed to fall in love. Falling for her was never and is never going to be the part of the plan. “You dropped this,” She repeated faltering me from my thoughts. “Oh! MY GOD!”I took my wallet and kissed it severally as she stared at me in awe probably feeling grateful for the favor she had done. I knew she wanted to prove to the world that she was a good person and I gave her that chance. I can be a great actor sometimes. “You are such an angel darling, I owe you a big one, I swear, if I lost this wallet, my life could turn upside down and I mean it. Thank you so much,” I pulled her to a hug without knowing it. “I am happy that I helped,” She tattled and a small smile graced her face and I couldn’t resist the beauty all over her face. It was not in my plan to fall for her but then I couldn’t control myself. “Come, let me take you to dinner to thank you for handing me this wallet. I know if it were other people, no one would have returned the wallet.” I pointed out to the five star hotel that was in the other side of the road. “Hilton Hotel?” She gasped and I knew I was winning her over. I knew she was not a rich type of girl. So, places like Hilton Hotel will sweep her off her feet. “That is if you don’t mind, no pressure” I never wanted to sound suspicious. “Okay, it is not like I had something else to do, in fact, I was starving, “She explained and the fact that she was open to me just gave me an adrenaline rush. We walked side by side in haste as we crossed the busy streets of Nairobi. In Nairobi, walking in haste is the order of the day. The security check was done by the gentlemen at the main entrance and I held her hand as we got to the reception. She was a bit uncomfortable at first but as the time went by, she was okay with my actions. “Table 7 is free, you can head there beautiful people. Enjoy your dinner cute couple,” The receptionist by the name Linda stated with a smile etched on her face and we all laughed. “We are not couples,” She corrected there and then and I had to nod. “You guys look perfect and it is weird that you are not even dating.” She brushed it off and we took the lift to table seven. Table seven was a special one from all tables, I guess Linda liked us already to assign us that table. From there, we could see the view of Nairobi city in the night. The cars in the street, the people in a rush and the sound of distant music from a concert nearby made Nairobi, Nairobi. “I rarely trust people and I just wonder how comes I feel that I can trust you yet I don’t know your name,” She blurted keenly looking at me straight in the eye. “I am so sorry,” I shifted in the chair uncomfortably before I told her my name. “Okay,” “My name is Nelson Walker,” I stated word by word. “Nice name Mr. Walker,” She smiled once again and this time it become contagious. “What is your name beautiful?” I asked politely. “Marian Millern,” “I am sorry to have you waiting, my name is Elizabeth and I wish to take your orders,” The waitress cleared the silence that reverberated between us after our small introduction. “Thank you Elizabeth, l am a true gentleman hence Marian you can order first,” I curtseyed at Marian. “Get me, a two piece chicken with fries, salad that is laced with mayonnaise and a mango juice, please,” She placed her order. “What about you sir?” She turned to look at me after she jotted Marian’s order in a small notebook she had been carrying. “Ugali wet fry,” I jested and they all laughed at me. It was kind of weird to eat Ugali at a five star hotel like Hilton. “I just want to tell you that you are beautiful every time,” After a long time of keeping it to myself, I decided to tell her my truth. Her face was drained of color immediately immediately and she looked offended. I regretted saying that to her but there was no going back. “Don’t ever say that to me ever, I am not a soft spoiled woman, I am different, so very different.” She hissed. “I am sorry,” I begged. “f**k!” She banged the table and we got a few stares from the people in the neighboring tables. “Don’t ever f*****g say that to me!” She ordered and that it when it dawned to me that she was a b***h from inside. Being in jail for the last ten years changed the softy nature of women in her. “Well, I don’t know what to say now, “I stammered and watched her as she sipped her mango juice in anger. “Forget it, let bygones be bygones,” She said her eyes fixed at one point as if she had remembered something. We finished our dinner in silence and I was glad that she enjoyed the meal. It is clear that she had been starving for a long time based on how she cleared her plate. “Are you satisfied,” I asked in a friendly way and hoped what I had said would clear the air. She laughed and called Elizabeth who went in and brought her another piece of chicken. She ate with psyche and we kept on talking about random things. That is when I realized that she kind of had humor in her spirit. The plan we made for a long time was definitely going to change at this point. I was f*****g into her and I wanted to get over her so as to be efficient in my plan. “Can I kiss you Marian?” I tried shooting my shot and patiently waited for her answer.
