Kelvin met Leila lying on her stomach on the long couch in their bedroom. She was in only a pair of shorts that stopped at her mid-thighs paired with a crop top. Her legs were crossed in the air, earbuds plugged in as she browsed through a site on her laptop.
Her succulent ass called out to him and he adjusted his trouser. He placed the dress inside the wardrobe first, took off his jacket and shoe before tiptoeing to the couch. He squeezed her butt and she yelped, nearly pushing the laptop to the floor. Kelvin caught the laptop before it fell and his brows creased at the content on the front page.
Workers needed.
“You’re looking for a job?”
Leila shrugged. “You fired me, remember?”
Placing the laptop on the floor, far away from her reach, he pulled her to his lap. Her frown deepened. “I was upset.” Leila rolled her lip between her teeth, eyes narrowed to harsh slits. She was not making this easy but the treatment was we
“I can’t believe you bought me the dress,” Leila said. She twirled in front of the mirror and the ends of the yellow gown rustled. It was a perfect fit for her. Her eyes watered and her heart overflowed with gratitude and admiration. If anyone asked her what the perfect husband was, she wouldn’t say anything, she would simply point at Kelvin. “You bought me the dress.” “Yeah,” Kelvin answered. Sleep shadowed his face, he stretched his arms and stepped out of the bed. “Do you like it?” She twirled again and shrieked, “Like? I love it.” The gown restricted her movements but she shuffled to hug him. Kelvin was laughing when he released her. He looked happier since she agreed to file a restraining order. He promised to accompany her and it made the ordeal sound less scary. Her fingers roamed the beads on the neckline and she giggled. She found the dress in the wardrobe. It had taken her by surprise. Her silly husband didn’t tell her before buying it. It was her scream that woke him u
Leila shaved and bathed before Kelvin returned home. Unlike when she lost her virginity, she wanted to be prepared for this moment. After dabbing perfume on her wrists, neck and behind her ears, she changed into the sexiest lingerie they bought. Standing in front of the mirror, Leila checked herself out. Hip-hop music was playing from her phone, a song she found on YuuTube with dirty lyrics. Her ass cheeks were on display, only a tiny piece of material covered her nipples. She spread the yellow dress fit for a dinner night on the bed and donned one of Kelvin’s robes.Next step: wait. Leila didn’t have to wait for long. The sound of footsteps reached her ears the moment the song ended. She didn’t play another, instead, she crossed her legs, leaving a flash of her skin on display. Kelvin opened the door and halted. One hand rested on the knob, his eyes roamed her body from head to toe and she felt hot inside. Leila rose to her feet and the strap holding her robe fell off. She took he
Leila walked into the office on Monday feeling like a new person. Her husband was great, her sex life was better, things were looking up for her best friend and her husband. Life was not just great for her, it was perfect.Her flowers arrived right in time as soon as she stepped into the office. She hugged it to her chest. Leila hadn’t expected Kelvin to carry on with this tradition but now that he had, she never wanted him to stop. Susie pulled up at her table. Lily joined her after. The two ladies sat on the edge of Leila’s desk, she didn’t try to stop them from taking out the note in the bouquet. Kelvin still typed the notes instead of writing them. His thoughtfulness was one of the things she loved about him. Leila loved everything about him.“My heavenly flower, don’t stop smiling,” Susie read out from the note. Leila blushed without looking away from them. She wanted to tell everyone about her husband. “Aw. K is so cute.” And kind and loving and the best thing to happen to her
Kelvin’s jaw ticked. The voice from the other end of the phone annoyed him. Amara was in the seat before him, making another phone call. He gave her a thumbs down and she cancelled a name from the list on her notepad.Most part of yesterday had been spent on getting a list of current and potential investors of Contra Tech, the company Charles led. Kelvin had only one mission. To ruin Charles. The restraining order was one step in the right direction. Kelvin would take everything the man loved, leave him as helpless as he left Leila.“Sir, Contra Tech is currently in the process of signing with Good Corp,” Amara muttered.Good Corp was another popular tech company, Contra Tech and Good Corp could create wonders that would rock the media. Kelvin hadn’t thought of a deal with them because he recently acquired Tech Valley from its previous owner. But the longer the thought stayed in his mind, the more he wanted it. He would
Kelvin was fingering her. He was touching her in ways that made her want to scream. Leila tried to pull out his hand but he threw her a stern glare. They were at another eatery for lunch. An eatery of her choice.This eatery wasn’t as private as the ones she and Kelvin always ate their lunch. The other booths were occupied, there was a couple behind them but Kelvin simply didn’t care. She tried to feign nonchalance but he was doing silly things to her body.“Kev,” she breathed out, nails digging into their table with the menu on it.A waiter came over and dropped their meals on the table, Kelvin’s finger curled around her clit and she tried too hard to smile but it came off as a scowl. He retracted his wet fingers as the waiter retreated and pushed them into her mouth.An old lady at the other corner glared at Leila and she sucked harder on her husband’s fingers, much to the woman’s horror. Leila could not u
Kelvin was her meet cute. It still felt so surreal to Leila. She changed into her night gown and brought out the box of pictures for Kelvin who was still in the shower. They agreed showering together meant longer baths and they were both exhausted after today’s work.The renovation of her new office was almost done. With the new position came a ton of work, more work than she had done when she was sharing an office. It was a good and bad thing. It was good because she had the office to herself and it was on the same floor as Kelvin. This part, she believed Sarah might have done deliberately to keep her close to her husband. The naughty man was always coming to steal kisses.It was bad because she didn’t have her silly co-workers to bother her anymore. She wouldn’t have believed it possible but she missed Lily and Susie’s banter. They visited but it wasn’t the same.Leila emptied the pictures on the tiled floor. The floor was c
The numbers of viewers within the estimated ages had increased. Leila clicked on another statistics and grinned broadly. Star Glows was just in its second week and it was doing great. Sarah jokingly mentioned a second season and the first wasn’t even halfway done. She closed the tab and picked up her phone. There was no text from her husband.Kelvin had made it a point of duty to badger her phone with cheesy one-liners she pretended to hate. Now there was none, she felt awkward.Done with her work portion for the day, she was bored out of her mind. She walked to the window and sat by the ledge. Kelvin promised to find her parents. It made her happy and sad. For years, she hadn’t made any real efforts to look for them.What if they were sick or dead?Her fingers flattened against the window. They would have loved this city, they would have been proud of her.On cue, she dialled her mother’s number but it did
Leila walked into the restaurant with only one thought in her mind. What the fuck did this woman want from her? She peeked at her wristwatch, it was an hour more to lunch time. Kelvin would have her head if she missed lunch and his anger would only be fuelled if he found out the real reason she skipped lunch. She had to be fast.She found the lady she was looking for by a table close to the window. A pair of sunglasses was perched on her nose, lipstick so red and bright it was the first thing Leila noticed about her. She walked briskly to the table and claimed the seat opposite her without the woman asking.Mia’s handbag was on the table and Leila’s lips curled in disdain when she dragged it out of sight. The woman didn’t have to worry about Leila stealing her money, she didn’t need it.“What about my mother?” Leila asked. “Why am I here?”The text to meet up with her came in this mor
