"I need to start going, dear. You know he will be returning
from his trip this evening," I said as I quickly buttoned my blouse and
picked up my handbag.
"Must you leave now, Jummi? The day's still
young," he said. "Come here!" and reaching for my hand, drew me
on the bed. I fell on top of him, laughing.
"Lari , stop it!" I stated, trying to remove his hand
that had slipped inside my blouse.
"I can't let you go yet. I still need you with
me," he said. He quickly unbuttoned my blouse, slipped off my bra and
began to caress my body. The feel of his hand on my breasts reduced my protests
into a weak whimper that turned into moans shortly after.
That was the thing about Lari , my boyfriend of seven months. He
always knew what to do to make me weak with longing for him.
He climbed on top of me, his nakedness setting my body afire and
as his lips descended on mine, he said:
"Still want to leave?"
"No, Lari. I want you!" and drawing him to me, began to

"Miriam, how many times will I tell you not to ever argue
with a customer? In this shop, the customer is king! Get that into your thick

operate the P.O.S yet," I explained.
It turned out he had wanted to pay for the items he had bought
with his credit card but my girl had insisted on cash.
"It's alright. These things happen," the man stated
amiably.
After making the payment, Mariam helped him take the bags of
groceries and other items he had bought to his car at the car park.
"Do you stay in this estate? Can't remember seeing you here
before," I remarked as I returned his card.
"You are right. I moved in just last week. I'm at Oniru
Close," he disclosed.
"That's nice. Hope you will be patronizing us," I said.
"Will do that. You have a well stocked shop here," he
remarked, his eyes glancing round my shop.
"Thanks. See you soon," I stated, as he left...
