Throughout the week, I couldn't stop thinking about her. At work, I kept imagining her in different positions on my desk. It was frustrating. I couldn't wait for the weekend to come, maybe I could see her at the basketball court again and finally end this madness. All week my friends kept teasing me about her. My friends and I have this ritual, we go clubbing every Friday to unwind the stress of the week and if possible get laid while we're at it.
Today was no exception. My friends dragged me to club Quilox even though I wasn't really feeling up to it.
"Don't worry, you'll meet another girl and you'll forget all about mystery woman. I'll get you a girl that'll rock your world all night trust me you'll thank me later." Femi pats me on the shoulder.
I wish.
They don't seem to know the extent of my feelings for a girl I know nothing about , and I'm not about to admit it either.
I must be going mad.
We make our way to the VIP section and order three bottles of Henessy and a Star Radler for me. I'm a lightweight and I don't feel like drinking much tonight. My eyes scan the dancefloor and I move to the beat playing. I see a flash of red swaying on the dancefloor and my curiosity piques. Before I realize it, my body is gravitating towards the girl.
I move closer to her and grab her hand. She turns around and it's none other than my mystery woman. Giving her a panty dropping smile, I introduce myself.
"Hi, I'm Akin."
"Hmmm. Are you gonna dance or are you just gonna stand there?" she asks as she turns around and I chuckle at that.
Don't need to tell me twice.
I move closer to her and she moves against my body as she dances. Grinding her hips on me, we dance for what seems like forever to me but is just mere minutes. I bring my mouth close to her and ask.
"Hey, wanna grab a drink?" My breath tickles her ear and she shivers.
"Sure," she says and I smile as a giddy feeling courses through my body. I finally have an effect on her.
We head to the bar and she orders two bottles of beer, one for me and the other for her. She opens the bottle with her teeth and takes a swig. She doesn't stop till it's half finished.
"Whoa! You must've been really thirsty." I frown. I don't really like girls that drink, I find them wayward.
"What? Or are you one of those guys who think only loose girls take alcohol. How stereotypical of you," she gets defensive.
I can see I'm starting to piss her off and I don't want that, if I play my cards right I'll have her in my bed tonight.
"No, why would you think that. Now you're being judgmental." I try to diffuse the situation. She doesn't say anything.
"So, are you finally going to tell me your name?" I ask and take a sip of my beer.
"Hmmm, we'll see," she looks me in the eye as she downs the rest of the bottle. I can't seem to look away.
"Well thanks for the drink Akin, but ...." she taps her wrist, she's not even wearing a watch "...gotta run."
"But ..... Wait ..... Wait." I get up and try to grab her but she dances past my fingers.
"Bye lover boy," she singsongs and she's gone with a chuckle.
I just sit back and laugh. She's something else but I'll get her in the end. I'm ready to play her game, after all I'm going to see her tomorrow. Hopefully.
