Broken: Episode 10

I left Cynthia’s apartment really early so I could go home and prepare for work. The night before was quite awesome and I was looking forward to another session. My second date with Brenda was scheduled for this night so I had to be on my best behavior, prepared for work and got in my car to drive to work when I got a call from Kofo if I could come pick her up. I couldn’t refuse because she sounded upset so I asked her to send her address to me.

After about thirty minutes of driving and battling traffic, I got to her place. She was standing outside the gate which I found odd because I told her I was going to give her a call when I was outside. I honked to signal her to come over and she did hurriedly, she looked really upset and her eyes were swollen like she had been crying. I asked what was wrong but she just replied me by asking if I could please drop her off at her place with a really sad face, I was confused because I believed I just picked her up from her place, she noticed my confusion and decided to explain to me.

Apparently I picked her up from her boyfriend’s place where she spent the night, they had a fight that morning and he chased her out, I was infuriated on hearing this, I felt like turning back to his place to give him the beating of his life but I had to console her first because she was weeping profusely as she explained. I told her everything was going to be alright and asked her to give me directions to her place, as I drove to her place, I called Alex at the office and told him to hold down the fort till I get there because I had some personal issues to take care of and would explain to my boss when I get back in case he needs my attention.

Finally we arrived at her place and told her she should go in and take care of herself, she could take the day off and I would cover for her at work. She appreciated my kindness towards her but I felt angry that her smile that brightened up everywhere like sunshine was nowhere to be found. As she came out of the car and walked into her apartment, she turned back and begged me to come in with her that she couldn’t afford to be lonely at the moment, I was reluctant but I couldn’t say no to a sad woman. I walked her in and took a sit while she went to her bedroom to freshen up, her apartment was quite conducive and had a warm atmosphere, I felt uneasy sitting there knowing there was someone somewhere that deserves some beating.

After some few minutes, she came out looking a little bit better and asked if I wanted to have breakfast, I said no but she was able to understand and came to sit beside me inside. She wanted to explain what happened but I asked her if talking about it will make her feel better or just remind her of his horrific action towards her? She replied with the latter so I decided to bring up other things to talk about that will take her mind off her present predicament, we spoke for a while, laughing and gisting before the unexpected happened, we were sitting really close with her head on my shoulder, I looked down at her as she spoke on and on, she felt my stare down at her and lifted her head and our eyes met, that was an awesome moment and feeling for me because her smile returned as she looked up at me, the staring continued for a few seconds before she grabbed my head and kissed me, I couldn’t pull back and kissed her back, I felt all the blood in my body flow to a specific part of my body as I kissed her soft and pink lower lips. We were cut short by the ringing of her phone which she hurriedly ran to, she looked down casted as she picked up her phone; it was her ass of a boyfriend that was calling, she looked up at me and told me to leave immediately, before I could say anything, she looked at me with a straight face and begged me to leave, I was confused but I respected her wish and left.

I drove back to the office and it was already past noon but luckily for me, the boss didn’t ask if I was around or not. I told others Kofo was taking a day off because she had some issues to clear up and everybody went back to their work as always except Cynthia, she just gave me this long suspicious stare as I walked to my desk. I didn’t care about whatever might be going through her head because I had more important things to think about.

As my thought process began, I remembered I had to call Brenda to be sure we were still meeting up for the night. I called her and as she picked up, I could hear the excitement in her voice to receive a call from me, we spoke about how her trip was and she told me she needed to rest but will be better and ready for me by the time I came over to pick her up later that night, she even went ahead to ask if I wanted to have lunch first but I insisted she should have some rest first. I was perplexed by the way she loved and needed my attention and company; I was intrigued by this woman and was really interested in where this was leading.

The day at work came to an end really quick and I was excited about the rest of my night, before I could leave, Cynthia walked up to my desk and told me we needed to talk and it had to do with Kofo, I told her I couldn’t do that tonight as much as I wanted to because I already had an appointment with someone later that night. She understood and told me to give a call when I was less busy, I had a feeling Kofo might have called Cynthia and told her what happened with us since Cynthia was her trusted confidant in the office.

I arrived at Brenda’s apartment on time and went to knock at the door, when she opened it I couldn’t believe how beautiful she looked; I stood there speechless in awe of how her beauty overwhelmed me. We walked to my car and as a gentleman; I walked to her side of the car and opened the door so she could sit. We drove to a restaurant in a nice part of town and had a lovely night, we had more fun than our first date and laughed so hard at each other’s jokes, I was amazed at how much this woman understood me, I felt like I finally found my missing rib but I didn’t want to rush anything this time around so I just played it safe all night long.

We finally left the restaurant and began our drive back to her place, as I drove back in silence, I felt the atmosphere in the car was changed to that of two people falling for each other, I turned to notice her staring at me with so much intense then she smiled, we pulled up to her driveway and I walked her up to her door, I told her how much fun I had with her and was hoping we could do it again real soon, she just kept on smiling sheepishly and in my experience, that’s a cue for you to kiss the girl. I moved closer to her and stared deeply into her eyes as I planted my lips on hers, she responded immediately. We stopped and she kept staring at me before she asked if I wanted to come in, I smiled and replied with an ecstatic yes. She opened the door and pulled me in, we kept kissing till we found our way into her bedroom and brought the night to an end with an awesome climax.
