The Cleaning Lady

Episode 7

Lara cursed out loudly, angry at the unanticipated hold up. Her plan to get Kunle back was hitting a brick wall at present. She had planned to go see him unannounced today, but at the last moment on Friday a board meeting had been scheduled by the chairman of the bank for this morning which dragged on throughout the whole day. What a way to throw a spanner into her works!!!!! She had picked out a beautiful gown and a special set of Victoria Secret lingerie for this occasion, one of the numerous sets she acquired on her numerous all-expenses-paid business trips to London by the bank. This particular set pushed her bööbs up in such a way that they looked fuller from the top, just the way she knew he liked them. The bra had a matching pair of thongs. She knew Kunle was going to like it. What she hadn’t anticipated was the heavy traffic she encountered.

As her driver inched the brand new Honda Accord slowly in the traffic, she settled comfortably in the plush leather seats at the back, thinking again of what she wanted to do.

She knew it wasn’t fair on Charles, but what could she do about it? Her heart lay somewhere else. Or was it just infatuation? She just couldn’t make up her mind.

The minutes rolled by, and she knew she couldn’t make it all the way to Kunle’s place anymore that day. It would be too late to get home, change into her sxy* outfit, and head back to his house. Hell, she may be in traffic till the morning. She decided once she gets home, she’ll give him a call. Hell, why not do it right now? Who knows when she’ll get home? She pulled out her phone from her expensive bag and after staring at it for a few seconds, keyed in his number.

Kunle hesitated, still unsure if this was a good idea.
“I…I need your help. I need you to do something for me. I don’t know whether you will or not.”
“Well, you won’t know if you don’t ask.

What do you want me to do?”
Kunle held his tongue, unsure whether to go ahead or not. Sheila peered into his face, waiting for him to respond. His fingers caressed the nape of her neck, sending a small shiver through her. Goose bumps appeared over her skin. He caressed her cheek and chin, leaned forward and placed a kiss on her luscious lips. He felt her go stiff for a few seconds, but then felt her body begin to relax.

His fingers moved down from the back of her neck and rubbed her back. He moved his hand below her tank top and caressed her skin, feeling her skin go hot. He kissed her for a few more moments before breaking away. Her eyes were closed and her lips followed his to continue the kiss. She slowly opened her eyes, her breath coming in little pants of desire.

“Are you trying to butter me up? Make it impossible for me to say no?” she murmured.
He smiled and kissed her again. Her arms went round is neck and she kissed him back with more fervor. His hands began to roam her back, caressing her spine, sending more shivers through her, a small m0an of desire escaping her, muffled by his lips on hers.

They continued like that for a few more minutes until she broke away.
“Okay at this rate you won’t tell me what you want.”
“You are really an inquisitive one, aint’cha?”
He tried kissing her again but this time she pushed him back.
“No more kisses until you tell me what’s up.”
Lara keyed his number in and pressed the call button. Traffic was beginning to move a bit faster. She listened as the call went through. She waited for a few moments, disconnected the call, and dialed again.

Kunle sighed. Okay, he told himself, this is it. What will be will be. If she felt offended, I will just apologize. He swallowed the lump in his throat.
“Do you remember when I told you about……”

Just then his phone rang. He looked at where it was beside the TV and back at Sheila. Her eyes told him she will not get up. He wanted to lift her up but she said “Forget it. You can call back, whoever it is.”

The phone rang again and she got up pissed and picked it up. She looked at the screen and showed it to him.
“Do you know who it is?”
He looked at the number and didn’t recognize it. It wasn’t on his contact list. He shook his head and she nodded, declined the call and switched the phone off. She tossed it back on the TV stand and turned back to him.

“Now we won’t be disturbed.” She walked back to where he sat and plopped herself back on his lap.

“So, you were saying?”
——————————————————
Lara sighed. Kunle wasn’t picking up. She remembered she had changed her number after she had left him and when he had been pestering him with calls all day. He may not recognize this number, she thought. She tried calling again and discovered his number had been switched off. She sighed and after a few moments of hesitation, composed a text. Her finger dangled over the send button. Did she really want to do this? She closed her eyes and pressed down, peeped and watched as the envelope on the screen folded and vanished into cyberspace.
