STUDENT'S PET

Seduce him

YOLANDA'S POV

Torrent of emotions flood through me but one remains prominent. HAPPINESS.

Life is sure treating me like I'm its favorite child and It feels mindblowing.

I woke up feeling happy, no thought of Chen, my psychotic stalker ex or the fears he left me with.

It's 7pm with Ovie Sitting beside me, his fingers interlocked with mine. I'm pleased with him.

Without exchanging numbers because of my refusal two days ago when we met, he found a way to locate my beach house room, sent me outfits and took me on mind blowing dates.

First was a boat sail then to a dinner he planned on a yacht and the second was earlier today, Volleyball date.

Now seven pm, I rest my head on his shoulder

"Why are you interested in me?"

I ask but all I want is to see Myself through his mind.

I'm still blown away by his performance yesterday. That first date tops every date I have ever had.

The way he rowed the boat with so much finesse. The transition from boat ride to yacht dinner. His attention on me each time I spoke. I have never seen a man with so much authority and confidence look at me like my existence birthed his, I felt adorned.

"Standing by the beach, you looked both scary & harmless. Then you jumping to save me showed your selflessness, most of all when you spoke" I see his lips curve up in smile

"You were fierce, weak but still fierce. I thought you harbour drama that I want"

Now it's my turn to scrunch up my face. I lift my head to face him.

"What does that even mean?" He rubs my finger

"You're captivating Yolanda. Pretty, soft & fierce"

Energy received. I know he reserved some words from his eyes sizing me up. My phone says 8pm.

Today is our second date, which involved him teaching me how to play volleyball. I was so bad at it I'm surprised by his patience

"Let's take a walk" He takes my hand and we roam around the beach

"Tell me about your ex. Both times you spoke about him yesterday, he sounded like piece of work"

Now it's my turn to gulp.

"Chen is a broad topic"

"We have time"

"I'll summarize. We met in China after my nursing school. Helped me get my first teaching job in china, asked me out & we started dating. A week into it I found out I don't like how obsessed he is, his s****l bugging & the subtle ways he grips me hard" His gaze finds me and I don't take a stop.

" A week later I broke up with him but he stalked my phone, house. Any man that asked me out or I'm close to, He sent me a part of their body."

He rubs his hand down my spine to soothe me

" Even my private tutoring friend got his face battered by him. The stalking continued for months.Reported him then I flew back to Nigeria in hopes he doesn't find me here"

"I'm sorry you had to go through that. Is that why you don't want to date me?"

"Short answer, Yes. He's a fighter & computer skilled. He's ruthless."

"Date me. I'm not afraid. Let's handle him" His voice resolute but with no hint of surprise. I on the other hand,

I'm happy about his willingness to help, but

"I've had enough men's blood on my hands, I want no more"

"Yolanda.." He drawls out my name but I drag him to the party I saw before

"Let's join them" I drag him along, not waiting for his reply

"I don't do party"

"Watch me, I'll do it for both of us"

I lead us there, imagining what it would feel like pressed against him while we dance. The thought crossed me at the yacht but I was afraid it will be too forward .

We arrive at the party. It's in full blast

Glad I can finally have my moment of dance with him. He didn't say anything or hesitate, he just followed me like obedient puppy.

Feeling free, I go to the bar for few whiskey & champagne, to assist my feet on the dance floor.

"Have fun, I'll drink later"

He says taking a sip of the whiskey before placing it on a table beside him

I do most of the drinking while he gawks at me as I twist my body.

I don't know how to dance like a pro but his gaze & confidence in me, makes me bold & pretty. He bites his lips anytime I raise up my gown

I dance facing him, while he leans against a table. His full height towering over everyone.

His gaze follows my moves and his jaw clenches anytime I shake my ass or t**s.

There are many ladies on skimpy outfits but his eyes remains on me.
