S2. W14. Ex-Factor

It was a double bed suite. So we weren't FORCED to sleep in the same bed. Which is good you know. Cause you know...ya would've been a bad idea. "That was an amazing evening Arinze!" I know I had already told him that, but just to break the silence, I repeated it.

"Ya it was a good night." He had loosened his bow-tie so he was busy untying his left shoe on one foot. He kicked if off to the side. The other one came shortly after. Well it was safe to say he wasn't the neatest person on earth because he took off the bow-tie and just dropped it on love-seat. He grabbed the remote and plopped down on a bed that I assumed was his since his suitcase was on it and ... ya it was his bed. He patted the space beside him. "Come..." I sat down beside him and he draped his hand over me and continued flipping through guide. "Wanna do a movie?"

"Well if its one to lull me to sleep finally then yes. But then again why pay for something I wont even watch"

"True true. Soccer it is." I laughed because I'm sure he expected a protest or something little did he know I was a little soccer head myself. The game excited me, and even more hot men that got excited by the game so heyy... When I didn't protest he picked up "Oh you like soccer???"

"D'uhh....." He nodded in approval.

I stood up to go find my stuff to get ready to pass out. I could already feel the blanket of fatigue looming over my head. If i didn't prep now I would just fall asleep as is.  I had packed VERY normal clothing. T-shirt, sweatpants simple. No bum shorts or extra big tee. I wasn't trying to be sexy here, before they come and say Suni did.... Abeg o! I found my traveling bag and pj's and I headed to the bathroom. You know when you know someone is watching you with the corner of their eye?  And the back of your head starts scratching you? E hen? That's how I felt as I entered the bathroom. I wonder if he thinks Ill come out with lingerie or something movie-ish like that. I giggled at the thought of me coming out in red hot lingerie and fluffy cuffs and saying "Ready for me baby!".

"Share the joke?"

 My hand flew to my mouth. Was the laugh loud? Oops "Errr nothing..."

**********************************************************************************

My blackberry buzzed. Before I even checked I knew it was Q.

"Dnt. hurt. my. phone."

"Answerr mee!! How.was.it.?.?.?.?.?"

"A.m.a.z.i.n.g.! You shud've been."

"But you refused to take me, ur chasing all the ladies. Im the only that can mke you happyy!! lol"

"Lol! Im sure you are. At least Im not trying to shag my fellow doctor!"

"Ohh low blow..."
"Anyways.....tell me everything!"

"Mannn...Q Im tiyuuurrddd... My hands can barely type"

"Are you busy??? Ewww OMG.. you guys are doing it!!!"

"LMAO! ...if I were doing it, I wouldn't be texting you...."

"Not if shes as skilled as me in holding your attention and I highly doubt that."

"Lol, she seems to have skills..." The tap shut off in the washroom.

"Oh no! You've kissed her?"

"Well...."

"Z!!!"

"HAHA! Relax....... I'm still working my way..."

S2 W13. Moving On...

He had fallen asleep on my shoulder. His head was quiet heavy sha.... I peered out the window and tried to make sense of the abstract jumble of clouds. I could see....a pointing hand. Towards... VEGAS! Ha!! I laughed... it must have been out loud because Arinze stirred. Oops. I swear it was before I realized it, but I had reached to stroke his head...Immediately I realized... I stopped. My hand fell back down to my belly. It was hard and I swear bigger than it was...before. It still shocked me sometimes that I was a mother to be. Sometimes I would wake up forgetting that I was pregnant. I really wonder what she would look like. I'm so sure baby's a she. Call it "mother intuition". The air hostess walked down our aisle, I had noticed her preying eyes when we entered the plane ...2-3 hours ago? But I ensured that burning feeling of jealousy was repressed because Arinze was NOT my man. But it does make me burst with pride that he hadn't even given her a second glance. Haha.

A pang of hunger hit me. I stared down at the tray in front of me which already held about 3 packets of nuts. I hated nuts. But gaddamit these ones were divine. and they were keeping my growling tummy in check. I waved to the wanton hostess.

Did this heifer just ignore me? She walked in the opposite direction. What a trick! hiss.... I dipped my finger into the empty packet and swiped for the salty residue on the inside of the wrapper. Mmmmnn..so sweet.

Arinze stirred and woke up. "Hungry?" He stretched....and I mean, its not like I was watching for it or anything but the crisp white shirt and the whole muscle pushing against. It was quite... sexy. I looked back at his face as I licked the rest of the salt off my fore finger.

"Your hostess groupie won't answer me." I faked a baby pout. "I'm reaaaallllllyyyyy hungry"

He laughed..."My groupie eh..."

"No kidding ... I'm sure if you just breathe in her direction she would come"

"Is everything ok Sir? Would you like a drink?" Ah ah... I didn't even know when she crept up behind us. Arinze laughed again.

He put on a charming smile. "Yes please and can you get us a couple more of the peanuts?"

"Yes sir" She pasted her "come hither" smile. She had really nice teeth though. I got to give her that one.

I spoke up "Thanks" as she walked to attend to our request. She didn't even acknowledge me. "I really should carry you around if I want swift service." I nudged him with my elbow and dropped the cleaned out packet back on the tray.
