The Perfect Couple

Episode 3

Boma decided she was not
going to tell Nick
what transpired between her
and his new
neighbor that afternoon before
coming to his
office. It was going to be her
secret game and
she was sure she’s going to
have fun doing what
she
had in mind. This idea to play
games with the
neighbor didn’t occur to her
until she spoke
with him and discovered he
saw her standing
Unclad at the backyard balcony
on Saturday
evening.

He didn’t have to say it, his
reaction said it all.
She had recognized him once
he walked into
the office hall. She had also
noticed that he had
walked up to her because she
was female and
he was somehow attracted to
her. There were
other customer care agents
who weren’t
engaged at the moment but he
chose to walk
up to her. He could be calm and
gentle;
perhaps a born-again Christian,
but he still had
the male instinct in him. It’s
funny how God
created men with this
uncontrollable instinct
and still expect them to be
perfect and
monogamous, she thought.
“Good day sir,” she had quickly
saluted with a
broad professional smile on her
lips. She was
aware of the effect this smile
had on men. “How
may I help you?”
“Thank you, I want to inquire
about your
internet package for offices.”
“Alright sir, I will definitely be
able to help you.”
quickly, she told him all he
needed to know
about their internet services.”

He had concentrated on her
face as she spoke
to him but she couldn’t tell
what was going on
in his mind. The face had
remained straight
forward and it enabled him
conceal all internal
emotions perfectly. Perhaps he
was just
interested in the business that
brought him here
and wouldn’t have time to flirt
with her. But she
wasn’t going to give up. There
was something
about this man that had
aroused Boma’s
curiosity. He was good looking
but that was not
her cause of interest. It was the
righteous aura
he exhumed as he walked and
talked. He
looked and acted like a good, if
not perfect,
man. He looked like he would
be a hard knot to
untie and it felt like a challenge
to her. It was
like a difficult Sexual
adventure; something new
that she had not tried before.
She was going to
untie him and find out if he
was really perfect.
“Thank you very much for that
detailed
information. I will get back to
you once we
make a decision on which
package to go for.”
Paul replied.
“I will be looking forward to
seeing you sir.

Meanwhile you can have this
flier with you, it
has in it all the information I
gave you.”
“Aright.” He replied and took
the paper from
her.
“Why do I feel I have met you
before sir?” she
asked, just as he was about to
leave.
He stopped and concentrated
on her once
again. “Are you sure? Which
church do you
attend?”
“I am very sure I didn’t meet
you in the church
sir. Oh get it… you are my
friend’s new
neighbor. I recall seeing you
pack your
belongings into your new
home at Rich Green
Estate last weekend.”
She was right, he thought,
“You must be very
observant. Yes I just packed
into the estate.”
“I hope you like your new
environment. I don’t
stay there though; I just came
to see a friend.”
“You don’t stay there?” he
asked and Boma
saw a trace of disappointment
on
his face. But Paul was
wondering how she was
able to see and take note of
him so easily. He
wondered which house among
the ones in his
new neighborhood she had
seen and noted him
from.

This was her chance to go for
the kill, she
thought. “Yes, I came to visit
the single male
bachelor who shared the same
view with your
back yard. That was the day
you were packing
in. I remember standing at the
back yard
balcony, and watching your
building.”
And she instantly noticed and
intense look on
his face. He was remembering
something. That
was when she knew he saw
her. He suddenly
looked guilty and
uncomfortable.

“I was Unclad…” she said and
let the words
sink. “I hope nobody saw me
from your house,”
she apologetically added.
This gave him the courage to
speak out. “You
were the Unclad girl from the
neighbor’s
balcony? How could such a
pretty and responsible
looking girl like you act like
that? Do you not
have respect for God?”
“Excuse me sir,” she politely
said, looking all
innocent and ignorant, “I am
sorry if my
unclothedness offended you.
It’s not my fault
that I don’t meet your
expectation all because
you have a pretty wife. I didn’t
even know that
someone was watching me
from your house.”
Paul didn’t understand why
she was lying.
Wasn’t she the one who had
brought it up?
Was she expecting him to
smile at her and tell
her well done for coming out
of her house
Unclad? Yet her last statement
had made him
remember watching and
almost admiring the
body.
“Of course you should know
that you will
be seen.”
“And I looked so ugly that it
offended you?” she
tried to look hurt.
Paul actually thought she was
serious, “I didn’t
say you were ugly,” he
defended and almost
took back his words.
“Oh… Thank you.” she smiled. It
was her best
smile and it was appealing.
“Thank you Mr.
Paul, I will be looking forward
to seeing you
again,” she quickly said, once
again looking all
professional. “Please I will be
here in case you
want anything… and I mean
anything.”

He understood what she meant
but didn’t know
what to say. He just picked up
the flier and
walked away. He already
swore within himself
that he would never come back
to the office
again.

But even as he walked away,
Boma knew he
would be back. She was yet to
start with him,
this was only the beginning.
