“when you feel its’ right go get it”
A week after, I met Barbara on my hotel corridor. I actually went to see a business partner at that particular hotel, I instantly forgot what I came to do even though it will cause me the main reason of my trip I quickly rushed to her because since our encounter I have been longing to see her again, I don’t know why but that day I had goose bumps all over me. That does not really explain my eagerness to see her again, but I know I like her
This time around she was not so tensed but smiled to my greetings. Hey you again, yes me again I said and reached out for a handshake, we talked and she told me she was on her way out and gave me her room number. After she left, I told myself that was easy. In the evening I went to the reception to put a call through to her, she gave the go ahead to see her. I knocked on her door and she came out, OH you are the Clyde guy. I nodded my head simply because I was dumbfounded of the beauty staring me in the eyes. I was jolted out of my reverie when she said come in. I was nervous but then the night went well, until I realized I was extending my stay in San Francisco because of Barbara. We became best friends and later got to know when we met in the urinal she was angry with her dad who was bent on marrying her off to another family friend. She sounded like her Dad was so fearful, well families that have money to book a hotel for a whole year must be so rich and powerful, I thought Barbara is a beauty to behold, it took me some time to win her heart, close to a year, among all the closures, the sex, romance, stories, fights and when the parents had to leave her life for her because she didn’t want to go back to them in London. Though I travelled from Nigeria to San Francisco for business, I found love, so I went back home and came back with some of my family to marry her. Since the Dad Mr. Wilson was bent on marrying her to another they did not honor our invitation to the wedding. Barbara left home and was staying in San Francisco for close to a year so she made some few friends that made it easy getting married. She was contemplating on going back until she met love and since then we got back to Nigeria.
EPISODE 3
“A little patience to listen and understand why things happen won’t kill you”
FAST FORWARD TO THE EARLIER MORNING
I was in my office after storming out of the house without breakfast when my secretary rang me,
my wife was around, before I could say let her in, Barbara was already in my office with a sad face and lunch box. Clyde am sorry it happened again, but I brought you lunch. I asked her to leave it on the table and I was on my way out leaving her in my office confused
When she asked where I was going as if she is my boss
Am sure she didn’t see how I looked at her, because she was still expecting an answer I responded in a very sarcastic manner; this is a working environment not a kitchen or a restaurant, if you don’t mind I have a meeting to attend, don’t wait up for me, I might be late. I walked out without turning back. I must admit in the past, Babs brings me food and I never complained, but today I did. We have never had big arguments which would lead to me being rude as I did today but am guessing its just about the food.
