*Peter*

For the umpteenth time, I lost the game I was playing on my phone. The football game had been the only thing that kept me company while leaning across the wall close to Ehi's office, waiting for her to end the conversation she was having behind closed doors with her ex fiancée. I don't need an emotional scanner to deduce the meaning of the expressions gracing the faces of the few staff members that saw me standing there like one of the statues erected in Imo state to know they all were curious.

It wasn't until one of the staff members curiously asked me what I was doing there that I decided to maybe check on those two.

I was going to head in when the door to her office slid open and Francis exited. I wasn't quick enough to read his face as he walked rather too fast completely oblivious of my presence or existence.

'Were you standing outside the whole time?' Ehi asked immediately I entered the office. She was on her feet and she had her jacket flung accross her left shoulder while closing the drawer attached to her desk.

I rubbed my palm across my tired face while I solidly placed myself behind the closed door.

'I figured you could use some help if at all anything decides to go wrong. Considering proximity and also not getting involved in your conversation, I observed that outside is the best place to be if I want to be of help.' I managed to not stammer my answer through after which I tucked my hands in my trouser's pocket, trying hard to hide the nervousness and tingling in my fingers.

Why was I feeling this way?

It wasn't like I was meeting her for the first time or anything.

'You shouldn't have bothered. I can handle it.'. She said, picking up a yellow, leather handbag on her desk. ' I handled it already.' She added glacing at me briefly before heading towards the huge window behind her desk.

'I guess you did. So, how did it go?' I asked as I walked to her desk. My palms were wet and I couldn't help wondering where the fluids keep coming from.

I wasn't even sweating!

'Well, it went the same way any conversation with someone you've considered marrying in the past would have gone.' She answered, turning her back at me to close the blind.

'Could you be more specific? I certainly don't know how a conversation with someone you've considered marrying would go.' With an arched eyebrow and fingers tapping on her desk, I asked.

'Okay,' Clasping her palm together as she turned to face me, she started. 'He came here to tell me he called the wedding off because an affair he had while we were together apparently turned into pregnancy. He got informed about the baby a day before the wedding and he thought it right to call it off. He thought I deserved better. Better than him. So, he came to apologise for having an affair, for not telling me about the affair and also for making a decision to leave on our supposed wedding day.' She paused for air while she maintained eye contact with me. 'He also said he is currently involved with his child's mother.' She added then stayed at the same spot for a few minute with a plastic smile etched on her lips.

Silence enveloped the atmosphere for a brief moment and she ended it with the clicking sound her shoes made as she walked back to her desk, sitting on it just right beside me.

'I'm sorry.' I don't know why or how I said that but I did say it and there was no retracting.

It wasn't even like I ever want to retract it.

'I don't understand why you are sorry.' Her forehead creased in surprise as she placed her palm beside her for support. 'You don't have to be sorry for me. I am fine and you really have to trust me when I say I have never felt any better. You wanna know why? The thing is, ever since the day I got dumped, I've always thought I was the reason why. I thought I was a mess that is unfixable and every guy I date just have to leave me as they can't deal with me. You should have imagined how happy I was when it turned out he left me at the alter because he felt guilty. I know it seems like I'm rambling and all… you may not understand how I feel right now but I feel good and I don't want you to be sorry for my predicament.' She completed her statement with a bright smile.

I listened to her with rapt attention and I suddenly became tongue tied for no specific reason at all.

I wanted to say something but a cowardice feeling held me back.

'I need to get home now.' I'm suddenly weak and tired.' She broke the silence once again as she lifted herself off the desk then proceed to the door while I followed closely.

'I'm sorry.' I said again just right before she opened the door. She turned and tried to say something but I stopped her by placing my finger on her lips.

'I am sorry for everything I did.' I paused to take a deep breath before proceeding. Bravely.

'I was wrong. I've always been. I know I'm all messed up and crazy but I should have known better than getting you involved in my personal problems. I've got issues. Huge ones. And I can't help the way they control my emotions which makes me a very despicable person. I was supposed to not let my problems define me but I did let them and I hate myself for that. I kept you waiting at the restaurant after which I eventually didn't show up and yet, the best thing I could do as the jerk that I was was yell at you and use your weakness against you. I kind of disgust myself right now and I don't think I will ever forgive me if you don't. I'm so sorry for every single way I've wronged you.' I lifted my hands off her inviting lips as I waited for her to say something.

'I don't… you are… I have…' She took a break to coordinate her speech. 'Peter, we don't….'I didn't let her finish that before reflexively pinning her body against the door, my chest pressed against the bulge and softness of hers.

My mouth lips wasted no time in finding hers whilst savoring the caramel sweetness on them. My tongue dug into the wetness of her mouth, enjoying every blissful moment. It took her a while to overcome the shock she had spread across her face and instead of punching or pushing me away like I've feared, she leaned in to the kiss, flipping and exchanging positions with me as she now had me pressed against the door, my head between her palms, reciprocating every move I make much more aggressively than I did.

'What just happened!' It wasn't actually a question as the statement literally protrayed. I bet she was trying to fathom how, why and when we started kissing. Ehi leaned away from me, taking slow strides backwards while holding her flushed face in her palm, embrassed.

'I didn't mean to assault you like that. It was a reflex, I couldn't help it. I apologize if that makes you feel uncomfortable.' I quickly said, hoping I didn't get her all wired up with the idea that I was taking advantage of her.

'No, it's fine.' She hurriedly dismissed the apology as she released her face from her palm. 'It wasn't an assualt in any way. I kind of kissed you back you know…' she added, avoiding eye contact.

My lips still tasted of caramel and I couldn't help licking it while rubbing my eyes lightly, trying to pretend the atmosphere around us didn't have this air of awkwardness filling it up.

'Do you mind going to see a movie with me like right now? Like a real date? Please, don't say no.' I was so fast saying that that I could barely hear myself. Saying that must have been so hard for me because I realised I closed my eyes while saying it.

'I don't….' She tried to say but I stopped her knowing her statement might not end so well for me.

'You don't have to say anything. Trust me, I won't bail on you like I did the last time. Just give me another chance and I won't screw it up. All you have to do is come with me and we'd be at the cinema in no time…' she didn't let me finish before interrupting.

'I am not saying I don't want to go. I am saying I don't want to go right now. Not like this anyway.' She pointed at her dress.

'But nothing is wrong with you or your dress.' I commented, confusion creeping up my face.

'Everything is wrong with my dress, Silly. You said it's like a real date. I want to freshen up and not look all stressed out plus have my dress changed.' She argued.

'Okay. I guess you would be ready by 8 then?' I asked and I watched her nod affirmatively. 'I'd be at your place 8:00 sharp!' I said with a will so strong, I was so sure nothing could screw it up.

Or so I thought…
