Bad choices make Good stories...

CHAPTER 4:LOVE YOUR IMPERFECTIONS

I cannot help but be curious due to the words that Chad spoke of Theo. The tone in which he uttered these words left me convinced that there is a story. An interesting one. Some weeks and months went by and im still here alive. I don't know if it is the work that is not that bad or its me getting used to working but i dont feel so bad anymore about going to work.

The words kepts ringing in my head. " He is a gangster, our legend". What exactly did he do? Did he steal something, did he get into a fight?

Okay, seeing Theo from my point of view he is very handsome, he has charming eyes i would say like his mother's but i have never seen her. Theo has a defined jawline and he keeps a neatly trimmed beard on his chin. When he smiles even if it is meant to spite you there is a soft blow of warmth that swirls around you. He is handsome when he is mad, confused even sad, just imagine when he smiles.

In terms of physique, he is not exactly the male i fantasize about. He is not as tall as my usual preference. Slightly shorter than me. His body is not that built, actually he is slim, slimmer than this African Mama, but you can tell by his movement that his bones are strong just a small body.

Theo walks with a limb, one of his legs has some sort of a curve as that of rickets. If someone else was in that body they would probably shy away from the public but Theo, all his movements radiate formidable confidence. Too hot to handle if you ask me. As they say disability does not mean inability. Looking at him i do not see disability he is a true manifestation of God's magnificence in creation. If we were romantically involved i would always tell him this," I love your imperfections, perfectly imperfect".

He is like the opposite of Chad. Chad is tall handsome but massively uncoordinated, he is like a heavy wind that blows the east. Too outspoken, too light in complexion, ego levels that go way above the mesosphere. At this point he feels that he is the man. Able bodied but carries his member on his head. I know that if i were to walk in a room full of males that have characteristics that i used to write in my diaries and one Theo, i would still choose Theo. Not out of pity but because he radiates the good dominance the head of the house was awarded by God and his own family would flourish outrageously under his domain. D*mn, im in love with those perfect imperfections and the fact that the world may deny you a chance to show off your capabilities makes you more of a champion because you truly fight your way through the obstacles. This just screams real African warrior vibes.

There is less tension in the office today people are actually laughing, so i take the opportunity to quench my curiosity.

"Theo, the legend, what exactly did you do?" i peep over my computer and he looks at me laughing.

Chad and Tim join in.

"Mr Theo", says Tim, " My dear, allow me to enlighten you, Theo here our bosses all have a story to tell about him. All of them despised him because he made their jobs hell", he whispered.

"No guys, that's not fair, you can't fill this child with lies, i will tell here what happened, but i promise it is nothing big these knuckleheads are exaggerating", Theo says standing up to get his documents from the printer. "So i used to be a manager at one of our branches. One of the many pages in my i dont give a f**k portfolios is that if you disrespect me you get the equal amount times a manifold disrespect channeled back to you".

Everyone in the office was looking at him now. " There are people who think that they can control you like a puppet because you are somewhat weak and can take in all the sh*t that they throw at you and you cannot say nothing back because they have the upper hand and a wrong move from your end would be a grave disadvantage for you and not for them. I have treated like that as a child and as a grown as man i aint taking non of that. Never. People have a tendency of challenging me to see if i can be able to do something and they will always remain blown away because i always bring the dynamite", he says sitting down like a congressman who just finished a grand speech. I could feel stares from our bosses passing through me to him. Tension filled the air.

"But you still have not answered my question", i say peeping again.

He glares at me, "That's a story for another day", he smiles.

BAD BOY VIBES, i think to myself. Name one girl who does not fall for a bad boy. Believe me im no different, with all the hype that this man is getting im more than willing to push my limits and indulge with him, i mean im compelled to do it.

"Just be a little patient dear, i will unpack it all when these guys go for their meeting. Okay", he wispers the words reaching my ears calmy and softly yet there is an element of command in them. The way he says this is as if he is telling his mistress to wait a moment for pleasure will be served shortly. Thats how i felt, i actually felt the heartbeat in the most unlikely place on my body. Am i falling for you, Mr Theo, it feels like i am. We all get back to our work. Our bosses go for their meeting but we barely got the chance to carry on with our conversation. I had quite a number of questions though. The most recurring being,

"How old is this nigga?"

So Theo owns two cars and for a guy who is always complaining about salary being too low like any other worker at this company, it doesn't make sense that he managed to buy two cars, i assume that he has been employed here for maybe ten years or more which explains why he has some vast knowledge about most of the processes here, he is like a Guru, everyone who needs help with something, Theo is their go to person. So this leads to the other two questions.

"How long has he been working here?"

"How dide do it, does he have side hustles?"

He lowkey acts like one of those people who have made it in life. He has a few attributes that annoy me. You know every man has that element of boys being boys. Toxic masculinity. But it's okay. My libido has already decided the fate that it wants and i have to be stronger than I am right now to be able to fight it. Fact still stands, love your imperfections.
