Tinu drove slowly down the third mainland bridge; she made a left turn and was on her way to Victoria Island. Singing along with Tuface she nodded calmly enjoying African queen.
She was exceptionally happy, not that there was a reason why, she ran her long nails through her braids occasionally checking out her pretty face, she turned right into JamesSolomoncloseand then left stopping in front of the large office complex where Babajide Cliff's office was situated.
Jide Cliff was a film producer she had closely worked with for about 5 years, he was a good friend and an exceptional person, and he always made her feel good. She packed her script into a large brown envelope as she adjusted her hair and added a light make up. She straightened her short skirt and sleeveless blue blouse as she strolled into Jide's office.
"HiTinu,youlookradiantasever,howareyoutoday?"It was Peju, Cliff's secretary, Peju was one of the reasons why Tinu always looked forward to visiting Cliff, she was not only beautiful she had a way with words and made everyone feel important and loved.
Tinu hugged her smiling,"Sweetheartyouarenotlookingbadeither,isCliffin?"
“Yes,buthe'swithsomepeople,I'dlethimknowyouarehere"
Tinu sat calmly looking around, there was always something new about Cliff's office, he always made sure he amended his office interiors and it always looked more beautiful, Tinu thought the large painting on the wall was royal.
The door to Cliff's office opened, a slim dark lady strolled out, tinu thought she was very pretty, she had this African look and her low hair cut made her look ageless.
Emeka McCauley came after her running his long fingers over the lady's bare back, spotting a black body hug and a pair of blue jeans Tinu found his perfume sexy and thought he looked really charming, she tried not to look at him but her face seemed to be glued to him as she noticed hair on his chest, she imagined what his bare chest will look like and what it will feel like for her to run her slim fingers through them.
Emeka coughed mischievously, pulling his girlfriend close to him and kissing her passionately, for a second time Tinu bit her lips painfully because of Emeka, she picked her scripts as she rushed past the kissing couple into Cliff's large office.
"Hitinusogoodtoseeyou"Cliff stood to hug Tinu,
"Youlookcharming,"
Tinu slumped into one of the large cushions, her emotions seemed to get to her, she fought to hold back tears, and more than anything she was very angry wondering why she was crying.
Was it because she saw Emeka kissing another woman or because in less than one month she had being caught foolishly lusting the proud Casanova or that she was simply scared that except in some other movie or stage play she might never have the opportunity to have Emeka McCauley run his magic fingers over her hungry body or kiss her passionately like she had never being kissed all her life?
Tinu glanced into thin air she didn't know how much the tears ran down her chicks damping her make up or that Cliff was now sitting right beside her wondering why she had to cry so much.
"Cantyouconfideinme?"Cliff ran his dark fingers through her long braids; Tinu was not sure of what to say now Cliff pulled her up hugging her.
"Itso.k.babygirlitso.k."
Tinu really appreciated the hug; she thought she needed the warmth, only that she wished it was Emeka McCauley hugging her. The door opened suddenly, Tinu turned to see a smiling Emeka McCauley, she had never seen such a wicked smile all her life.
"Ithoughtasmuch"Emeka said shutting the door behind, him "she sleeps around." He sat on the couch chewing gum; even as he smiled more wickedly, Tinu picked her envelope and walked out of the office.
