I MET HIM ONLINE

Chapter Nine

Did I ever tell you that Felix is handsome? Maybe not but I want you to find that out from the host’s mouth. The guy looks Strong, he is tall and lean I think at this point handsome, to me is an understatement. He is charming, robust and sinewy the moment I set my big round eyes on him I came up with this decision that he was protective. He was going to be my hero, he looks powerful, he looks cocky, I am not sure if he is but he looks that to me. He smells nice, and is very sexy, smart upstairs and with athletic, body and abroad chest sculpted, attractive and finally my online boyfriend is looking good I think when I see this guy, I fall in love all over again. Ever heard people talking about Greek gods? This one is on another level.

When I first set my eyes on Felix, I felt a tinge of jealousy and insecurity combined flowing into my body. There was this mixed reaction though because electric sparkles and butterflies also flew all over my body. I didn’t know what he thought about me because that did not matter then.

It is on Monday evening and Felix insists that we do meet. I don’t know why but I have grown to trust Felix so much I never have the fears anymore, trust a woman who is in love to give so much lee way by way of trust.

My phone on my desk vibrates, in our office the phones should either vibrate or ring in very low tones to avoid distracting other people. That is a policy, so I pick it and guess who is calling! It is him, its Felix I met him online. I answer the call and press the phone to my left ear listening carefully to what he has to say.

Felix: Hello Hun, he calls from the other end

Me: Hey, how are you?

Felix: Tired but I must see the sweet babe of mine. (I feel the familiar sensations across my body to the toes. The things this guy does to me!) Are you there darling? (I nod forgetting my sweetheart cannot see me, and then I say a soft yes almost whispering) as I was saying, please take an uber to art café the oval. I will be there in a few.

Me: All right.

I do not want to ask him to pick me up from wherever I am, there is no time to go back freshen up and put on those evening dresses, nothing like that so I decide to take it up the way I am. He tells me he would be coming with his brother and asks if I am not comfortable I can tag a friend along but I tell him I am not ready to share the information with anyone so I would go alone. He says he is okay.

A few minutes later, after doing my makeup retouch I call an uber and direct it to the art café. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I get there and pick the seats that are at the furthest corner. I want to watch him come in and decide if he is good as my bitchy self and sub conscious of late have colluded to nag and nudge me or he is ugly and dangerous.

We are supposed to meet at 6 pm, I am there by five fifty and trust you me, he has kept time too and by five fifty seven, I see a familiar face. I pretend to be so busy on my phone so that he couldn’t realize I was studying him.

Behold there stands the guy, the Greek god himself, with his brother whom he later introduced as Jim. His brother is equally handsome but trust you me, Felix is the guy no doubt. This man is so handsome tall athletic body and just the dream of every woman in the whole world. I am smitten already.

Felix: Hey, see anything familiar? I shake my head and say no but his arms are already wide open and yea! You guessed right. I jump up and bury my head into his chest. That beautiful unfamiliar smell, so sweet hits my nose and I hold my breath a while to savour it in.

He pushes me gently off himself and says, finally babe I’m here with you, I can’t believe it. I literally get so emotional and start to cry. I couldn’t believe that Felix my online boyfriend is here with me.

His brother clears his throat awkwardly and says ‘’man I am still around. We both turn and look at him after hastily drying my tears.

Felix: Sorry babe, meet my brother Jim. Jim looks at me, nodded smiling sweetly, and offers me a hand and I move forward to shake his hand and he proceeds, “Jim, meet my girl, she has stolen my heart and as you can see I don’t regret it.” Wow! Just wow! Did he just say I stole his heart and he does not regret it? I am humbled’’ I say inwardly and blush noticeably.

Jim: Nice meeting you Emali, you are so beautiful; I manage to mutter a thank you Jim and move back to my Felix.

Felix: I told you she’s my Gem and hey, enough with the introduction lets have something to drink. He pulls a chair for me and has me sit there as he sits very close and lets Jim sit on the opposite.

We order coffee as he says he had missed a samosa so he orders one very huge samosa and they share with his brother.

Felix: I thought I knew you were beautiful, but I can see the beauty is just on another level. Thanks for being mine even before we had a chance to meet. We belong together. I was already very grateful to God for making our meeting a success.

We chat some more and then Jim excuses himself to go to the washroom as Felix gets a chance to whisper sweet stuff into my ear. I am here baby, close to you and I promise here and now that if I ever have to go away you will be with me. He says and winks. Now I know why his texts were full of those winking emojis, it’s because he’s always winking in real life.

Ever felt warm, Loved and sweet at the same time? That is me, I will never forget this day, because this is how he made me feel.

When Jim comes back from the washroom, he excuses himself again and says he would wait for Felix in the car. Where we are seated is a bit private so it does not have so many people considering it is Monday. He pulls me to himself and have me sit on his laps, I feel his broad chest and his rhythmic heartbeat and I give several sighs and realising my breath occasionally.

I turn to look at him and his gaze is on me.

He is damn sexy
