Sad Love Story

Chapter Three

It was a bright and sunny morning, white fluffy clouds drifted across the blue sky as the sun beams beautifully, casting a golden glow upon the earth. I woke up to the sound of someone knocking gently at my door. I already knew it was my mom who was trying to wake me up for work.

"I'm coming Mom" i mumbled half asleep. She continued knocking till I got out of bed."I'm up already" I yelled. I knelt quietly beside my bed and observed my morning devotion. After then, I brought out my iPhone 11 pro max which I had bought some weeks ago and logged into w******p. I've lots of unread messages about one hundred and fifty. As I scrolled down the chats, Faridah's message caught my attention. I clicked on it and read "Excos meeting by 12pm today. My Dad will be present so be punctual."

"Thanks, got it." I replied.

I got dressed for work immediately I got the message. I wore my best Tuxedo suit since it was going to be a special meeting at our company that day.

"You are late Oluwatimileyin" my mom frowned as soon as I got to the dining room.

"I'm sorry maami." I replied hugging my mother and kissing my daughter, Iremide on her forehead.

"Good morning Dad." She said in a tiny voice and knelt down to greet me like my Mom had taught her.

"Good morning my Queen" I said as I drew her close to me and gave her a tight hug "trust you had a great night?" I added.

My mom served breakfast. She had prepared a light breakfast of bread, egg and tea. We all ate in silence.

I dropped Iremide off at her school and started the long journey down to my office. Thankfully, there wasn't much traffic on the road that day. On getting to the office, I felt a lot of gaze fixed on me. Why won't they look at me? I now have everything a lady could wish for in a man and every young man would love to have my physique.

I walked majestically into my office after greeting everyone.

When it was quater past ten, Faridah sent for me. I paused what I was doing and left for her office immediately.

"Good morning ma, you sent for me?" I said as soon as I got into her office.

"Oh yes! please have your seat." She said as she points at the vacant seat right beside her on the sofa. "I have told you several times not to address me as MA. I already gave you an exception to call me Faridah. Please address me as Faridah! Simply Faridah okay?" She said forcing out frown.

"Alright Faridah, I'm sorry" I said looking at her sternly.

"It's fine." She said as she threw a friendly punch at me.

"Please I'd like if you can help deliver this file to the Commissioner's office" Faridah said handling a white file over to me. "Tell him it contains both the proposal and the plan." She added.

"Alright, I will do that right away" i said as I made to leave her office.

"One more thing Timmy" Faridah said as she pulled me by the wrist. "Erm.... What's your schedule for tonight?"

"Nothing, I'll be home reading or watching Netflix" i said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Mind if we hangout together tonight?" She winked

"Huh..... Tonight?" I asked confused.

"Yes, a date actually. Mind if we go out on a date together?".

"Yes, it's fine." I affirmed

"I'll come and pick you at home. And drop you off. We won't need your car."

"Oh... Okay" I said still feeling surprised.

I left for the Commissioner's office immediately it's just a fifteen minutes drive and luckily for me, I met him on seat. He approved our contract and signed on it. It was a contract of one hundred and fifty five million naira. I returned the file to Faridah's office and I was surprised when she told me to keep it and present it at the Excos meeting.

The meeting was led by the CEO Dr Oyedeji Abdulafeez popularly known as Experience. A man in his early fifties that everyone was marveled by his presence because according to rumors, he hasn't stepped his foot in Nigeria since about five years ago. His only daughter, Faridah have been the one handling the affairs of the company and she handled it perfectly.

Faridah sat right beside her father. When she rose up to speak, I found myself staring at her. I couldn't just seem to get my eyes off her as I was busy admiring her sexy figure. She has a 5'9 height plus a sexy body and a clean and fresh brown skin that would have made anyone mistake her for a model.

I proposed the contract I went to sign earlier that day at the Commissioner's office and the CEO was really happy that our company got the contract. I brilliantly found my way to engage in an interactive session with the CEO. The only thing on my mind then was to get a recognition from him.

Fast forward to the end of the meeting, the CEO announced that Faridah, myself and three others will be traveling to France to participate in a business seminar, an all paid expenses by the company. I was so happy about the travel to France that I didn't know when I ran towards Faridah and gave her a tight hug.

The day ended on a lighter mood. I got home and told my mom about it. She offered praises to God. I was lost in my thoughts thinking about the meeting and imagined how it all went. I still couldn't believe I'll be traveling to France with Faridah. I was just so happy.

"I'm outside already." Faridah's message popped up on my phone.

"Okay, I'm coming." I replied and immediately left for the gate. I ordered the security guard to open the gate for Faridah to drive in. She ran towards me as soon as she got out of her car and gave me a tight hug.

"Congratulations darling." She said as she wrapped her hands across my neck.

"Thanks dear, I'm nothing without you." I confessed as I took her in to meet my mom.

"Good evening Mummy." Faridah said as she knelt down to greet my mom. I was dumbfounded at how humble she is despite how rich and educated she is.

"Good evening my Daughter. God bless you dear, my son have told me a lot about you. May God continue to bless you, you will never know a better yesterday...." My mom said as she continued to rain prayers of blessings on her.

Faridah met with my daughter too and played with her. I went back to my room and freshened up for our date. While on our way, she asked questions about my daughter and Grace my ex lover which I answered truthfully. She felt sorry for me and caress my thighs at intervals.

Faridah drove to Club Quilox, a luxurious club in Victoria Island made for rich people in Lagos. We entered the bar where we were entertained by the best DJ on call. While everyone were busy drinking and partying, Faridah proposed a walk around the club. We got to a dark corner and was still talking about love when I got the courage to kiss her. How I got the courage to do that still remain a mystery to me. I thought Faridah would slap me for taking advantage of her innocence instead she responded well by kissing me back passionately with her hands caressing every part of my body. I also responded by fondling and playing with her big, round boobs. Soon she started moaning which I took as a "go ahead, you are free to do anything."

I wanted to unhook her bra so I could have have direct access to her boobs and suck like my life depended on it but then I had a second thought. Faridah have been my helper and taking advantage of her innocence without going through the proper process of proposing her is a grave sin to God and to her. I stopped immediately and waited for a perfect time to propose her.
