Am sorry Mina, I didn't mean to hurt you, but I can't keep my hands to myself, I know you don't want this now and I also want to take things slow but I can't explain what am feeling right now,
It a first for me, he said trailing his hands down her neck, anytime am with you I always feel like touching you, I...... I ......I .....want to feel you Mina, he said drawing her closer, their body rubbing on eachother, bending down only a few inches, his lips landed on Mina's
My eyes widen in shock and my ears perk up hearing his words, I feel the same too but am just too shy and timid in stuffs like this, this is my first time of falling in love, infact everything about Eric is a first for me, I can't explain what am feeling right now but I wish he would continue to be my first never to have a second
His lips landing on mine brought me back to the present, I don't know how to respond I feel like holding him tight and that's exactly what I did, I don't know when or how but I found myself holding unto Eric
I never wanted to do this without her permission but I can't help it, oh god, what if she doesn't want anything to do with me again or think am a player, I thought of backing away and apologizing when I felt Mina draw closer holding me tight
Just as if on cue with my reaction, Eric's kiss go deeper and I felt myself drawn away from my surroundings, I just couldn't stop responding to every of his touch, it felt alien and at the same time a bliss
I couldn't think of any other thing with the delicious taste of desert we just had for dinner on mina's lips, all sanity lost, I press my lips harder unto hers prieing open her mouth, oh god, this feeling is just awesome, my hands on her waist was tighter, she's already way too close to my body but I couldn't get enough of her
I ran my hands through Eric's hair, holding unto his suit from weak knees, the wind was blowing in all directions but I couldn't help but feel so hot and out of breath, Eric's phone vibrating brought us right out of our trance
We both withdraw from eachother, my hands still on her neck and waist, I didn't want to separate from her just yet, so I remove my hand from her neck and pick up the call looking into her eyes, she look down avoiding my gaze ofcause I know she will be a shy type
I check the caller id, it P
Yes tell me
It not who you think it is, her bumping into you was caught on camera and it wasn't deleted like the others, when she bump into you, she has her hands to herself, I mean she didn't touch you, you did when trying to steady her and she immediately bent down to pick up her files
You are right I remember now, that's exactly what happened
And also I look into her background like you ask, everything is clean, she came from a stable home, she's been friends with Mina since childhood, they went to same kindergarten all the way to the university and they have been cool
And the other person, I ask
Am sorry boss there's no way to trace him, all we can do is wait for him to appear again
Alright, see you on Saturday, our usual club house
Okay boss. I drop the call still holding Mina
I... You..., we both talk at the same time , you go first she said
You should go inside, I don't mean for you to stay this long outside, I don't want you to have a cold, I reply rubbing my hands on her arm
It okay am fine, you should leave too, is getting late, and am sure you have a lots of patients to attend to tomorrow, you also need a good sleep due to what happened
Yes you are right, I think this is the first time I will actually have a good sleep after losing a patient, thanks for your time and concern, it really helps take my mind off it
Don't think too much about it, okay, she said now gaining the confidence to look me in the eye again. Don't forget to take the drugs I gave you, I will wait till you go in,
Thanks, I won't, It only your mouth that's telling me to go not your hands, I took his hands off my waist, you forget that, I reply smiling at him, good night
Good night I answered watching her go inside before getting into my car driving straight home
I went straight to my room, opening the door, and where do you think you are coming from, I heard Richard trying to mimic Dad's voice, which he always fail to do, I turn back to see him with two glasses of wine, stretching his hands he gave me one
Collecting the wine, I take a smell, it my favorite, what's the occasion, I ask him
Nothing, it for you, didn't you tell me you lost a patient earlier today, I know you wouldn't sleep without wasting away on this, he said raising the wine In his hands
Nay, I don't think I will be needing this anymore, but am going to be drinking for you, tell me what do you think about Elizabeth
Well she's okay
Just okay
Humm, to be sincere, normally I like her, I just hope we could get along well , and you are right she's my type, but then I think she's too heavily make up, I mean I like girls that dress up and all but not that much, I guess maybe it because of the dinner, do you think she's trying to impress me
Yes that could be the reason but I can't say have only met her twice and both times she's heavily make up like that, you know she even got the mud make up stuff on my clot...... wait, yes how could I forget her, Elizabeth was among those that bump into me that day, infact not bump exactly, she practically hug me, I can't believe I don't remember
Really how, Richard ask
She kind of trip on her heels so I help her and from there her cheeks landed on my suit, I can't imagine how much stress Gabriel will put into cleaning the suit
Wait is she the clumsy type, I love them clumsy
Good for you, you have found a good thing
Good thing, he ask
Yes, I know you don't go to church, but you should know this much, he who find a wife finds a good thing , I reply
Good night brother, I will leave before you start teasing me again
Good night, I said smiling from ears to ears
You are giving the chills why are you smiling so much like that, Richard said running kiddily back to his room
Am the only one that understand the reason behind my smile, I said to myself closing the door to my room behind me smiling all the more, remembering how I felt with Mina in my arms
With that thought I sent a mail to P, turning off the light I check in for the night.
Hmmm, I turn in my bed, scratching my hair, I run my hands through it sitting up in bed, I woke up smiling, why is that, I ask myself, not that I woke up sad everyday, but this morning is kind of different, like it special
Gbaaan, a church bell rang in my head, I think I know why, I touch my cheeks, oops, I know they are tomato red right now, how do I go through the day without Evelyn catching up onto what happened between Eric and I yesterday
I feel like talking to him, should I call him, isn't that what girlfriends do, should I ask Evelyn, no no that's a bad idea, Alice, thats a bad idea too
I could make up an excuse for calling him right,
Good morning Mina, is everything alright, I heard Eric's voice from the phone I held to my left ear, oh shit shit, when did I dial his number, what do I do, should I just cut the call, tell him it a mistake
Mina are you there
Oh yes, yes, ham, I want to ask do I take the drug on empty stomach and do I use cold or warm water, I ask randomly, oh Mina what sort of question is that, now he's going to think you are dumb
No, you take them after breakfast and dinner, then it much better if you use a hot tea when taking it, he answered
Okay, thank you, bye, I drop the call immediately not minding if he has other things to say
Is good to be experienced in things like this, I guess I will go and register for a dating class online, I walk to the closet to get ready for the day, today is a very important day, the first batch of the robot will be hitting the market
After dressing up, I walk out leaving for work,
Good morning sister, I saw Elizabeth waiting right in front of my car all dress up for work, she doesn't go this early
Morning Elizabeth, you are ready for work, this early
Yes sister, I know today is very important for you, so here I am to support you, ofcause I need to be ready ontime because I will be riding with you
Thanks Elizabeth, I really appreciate it, let's go then, I said tugging her towards the car with Lawrence already waiting in the driver's sit
I pick my phone to call Evelyn when we are very close to the company,
Did you deploy the guards outside
Yes madam they are all on standby, I already inform Lawrence to take the CEO driveway to avoid the reporters that's the safest way
Okay good, I will see you in a bit
Sister you don't need to avoid the reporters, it a great achievements you have going on here, and it only right take you take a little interview, and even encourage the younger generations
I know Elizabeth but am not a camera person, I don't like stuffs like this, is not necessary I talk to the reporters, if it is needed maybe after the first batch hit the market
No sister, I don't agree with you, I know by that time you won't even be the one taking the interview am sure you will ask the building team director to do that, and they will only take the praise
It does not matter who takes the praise and besides the building team are worth the praise if not for them my idea will not be a reality that it is today, I reply
Soon enough we arrive at the company, Lawrence I thought you are to go through the CEO driveway,
Am sorry miss, someone call me now that there are reporters there so I decide to come in through the entrance, don't worry miss, am sure, the guards are on standby and am here to protect you too
Thanks Lawrence
Oh my god, are all the reporters in the city all here, this is shit, how do we get to pass through, immediately Lawrence park the car, all of them rush to the sides of the car asking series of questions
Are you the current manager of the Bernard corp?
We heard your position is at stake now that your sister is back?
Is it true that your sister is more smarter than you are?
How did you come up with this idea?
Is the idea yours?
We heard the Daniels reject you as their daughter in law, is this true?
Why did they reject you?
What are you expecting from this first batch?
Will you cease to be the manager after this project?
What do you have to say to your sister replacing you ?
They keep throwing series of questions left and right, I rub my forehead which is my habit when am tired and stressed up, I can feel an incoming headache again, oh god, my phone vibrated
Evelyn, I thought you have this all planned out
Am sorry but I definitely told Lawrence not to come in through the entrance
That's not the issue now, do something
The reporters are way too much, I think the best option is to give them an interview
But Evelyn.....
Don't worry I will make sure that they ask questions that are only relevant to the project am already on my way there, she said droping the call
Sister what do you want to do now
It okay, I guess I will bend to their will just this once
That's a good Idea sister
I look outside the car to find Evelyn addressing the reporters, she walk to the car, tapping on the window, the window slide down, I see the guards with their formation waiting for me to take my first step
Calm down darling, I told them you will only answer five questions
I nod my head getting out of the car, the guards immediately surrounds me, I started walking towards the entrance, almost at the door I turn back to be face with various flashes of lights from different sources both big and small camera
Is the whole project thing your idea?
Yes I answered
Don't you think technology like this could be harmful?, another voice threw out the question
Yes you are right but for this particular project, we have take every possible danger into consideration and I promise you it is technically standard
What if anything go wrong? Another person ask
For the project to be hitting the market today, it has gone through series of testing and evaluation from highly skilled personel so I promise that you can trust us
We heard that you will only be making a thousand pieces ?
Yes, I answered
And if there's is higher demands, do you Intend to keep producing?
That question will be revisited when that time comes,
Thank you that will be all Evelyn said
What if something go wrong will you take the responsibility?
She won't be anwering any more questions, I walk straight into the building, with them shouting various questions at the top of their voices
Haaaa, these people can't they go somewhere else, I sank into my sit, is like all my energy has been drained
I know right, Evelyn reply coming in after me, am so tired, and the day is still young .
Sorry sister, I will be going to my office if you need me, please call me
Thanks Elizabeth.
I walk out of her office to make a call
Mr Rushell, is everything ready
Yes young madam, everything is set
How many did you prepare for
Two ma'am
Just two
Yes ma'am
Mr Rushell that's too small, it should be much to make it a failure
Don't worry madam even if it one, it enough to make it a failure, I promise you, have already make people available to raise their voices against it when everything transpired
Good, I said droping the call, hmmm am about to celebrate, I smiled to myself, I can't wait.
