2: Silent but handsome


Chioma just realized she was smiling. A very handsome guy had been starring and smiling at her for the past 30mins from across the two tables away. He would neither come closer, make a move nor even ask her to come.

Chioma had come to one of the Clubs in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja with her sister and her husband to celebrate their anniversary and it was about looking like a boring night. That was the only guy that has even tried to get her attention. She was fair skinned, a bit chubby, average height and had on, a generously revealing black dress.

She wondered what was going on in his mind, was he shy? Was he with any lady? With the way she was smiling back at him, why didn’t he make a move? He looked really matured with broad shoulders and dressed very well.

She had a thing for guys who knew how to dress well. She looked at him again, their eyes met again and this time it seemed they were the only two people in the club – all the noise and dancing in the club didn’t matter anymore.

Then he moved – really fast

She starred in panic as someone blocked her view, where is he going? When her view was clear after a few minutes, he wasn’t there anymore. She felt disappointed, why did he leave like that? This was worse than rejection she thought. In anger, she headed towards the ladies room to freshen up.


The ladies room seemed empty, infact a little too empty for a crowded club; she could hear no other noise from any of the 6 toilets. She faced the sink and poured some water from the tap with the hands over her face. As she opened her eyes, she saw him through the mirror, behind her.

She felt his light touch on her shoulder and she collapsed in excitement and passed out....

1: Ultimate Expression


Yakubu looked out of his window and noticed a young slender shaped lady, she couldn’t be more than 21 her thought.  From his 2nd floor hotel room in the former Execelsor hotel in Apapa, Yakubu always enjoyed the view in the evenings when he had finished his round of meetings for the day.
He had come to Lagos to secure a very important business deal with Flour Mills PLC for his company and had been in Apapa for the past 1 week.

As he was looking at her, he wondered who she was – there was something different about this particular girl, as is she noticed, she suddenly stopped and looked up at him and smiled, she stood there for a few seconds, Yakubu froze, his heart started beating faster, he was confused, damn! She was breathtakingly beautiful.

And as a car blarred its horn nearby, the moment passed, she turned her head and kept walking further away from him.

He had one thought, and one thought only, Who is she?.....then more thought started coming, why did she smile at him? How did she know he was looking from that height? Should he go after her?, he was wearing just his boxers and noticed a little bulge developing down there. Why did she have this kind of effect on him?

Yakubu had been away from home for a while, his girlfriend had left him a month ago and he quickly jumped on the opportunity when his Boss asked to leave Kano for a while.

He looked at his wrist watch, it was just 4.30pm. He could quickly rush downstairs and with some luck, he could catch up with her – yes that would be a confirmation that she was the one. She certainly was the most beautiful woman he seen and it would be nice to know her well not like Abraham knew his wife

 but then  he suddenly realized he had not moved an inch, he was still seating on the hotel room chair and smiling sheepishly.
He stood up, looked out the window again, unconsciously searching for her and went back to his chair.
