******THINGS LOVE APART****** Bola couldnt concentrate at work. She hissed at each file on her desk. The tiny heaps of correspondence laying claims to the pyramids at Giza only added to the quick silver coursing through her blood. She couldnt believe it. Today was their anniversary. It was a year now that Chidi entered her life. Excuse me Miss, do you work here? She looked up to match a face with the flawless accent she just heard. The face was most finely cut, oval with a feline nose, soft and inviting lips covering pure white teeth. She must have stared too long for the young man flashed a smile to cover his embarrassment and that was when she saw those dimples... That was the day Chidi showed up at her working place. Two months later, she became his girlfriend. That relationship was celebrating its birth today. Auntie Bola, Oga say ah fit come dey go. Ah don give am for permsion. Shekau, it is permission oooo. You wont kill me with your grammar. Bola always admired the messengers desire to learn English and she never tired of teaching him. Bola waited for Chinwes voice to filter through the phone. She grabbed her bag and shove the files into the cabinet. She never expected her Boss to give her permission to leave before 4. Now she could give Chidi a grander surprise. Hello Chinwe! I am on my way to the boutique. What is the name of that perfume you suggested again? Terre dhermes Chinwe returned in her unapologetic Igbo accent that 4 years in England couldnt curb. Ok! Ok!! Ok!!! Bola said breathlessly. See ya, catch ya, bye!!! Bola almost knocked herself over climbing the steps to Chidis apartment. She knew he was not expecting her. She so badly wanted to surprise him. She wanted to feel his warmth, the intensity of his passionate kisses, the gentility of his hands. He always made love to her in a religious manner like she was a saintly being. The Haritsu method he called it. These were the thoughts that filled her mind as she made her way to his bedroom... Just as she entered, she saw him pulling out of her best friend; Chinwe.
