“This is a job well done. Cleo, we should take pictures at every nook and cranny for your site.”

“We should.” Cleo replied turning around as though searching for someone, she was the event planner, and thus she had to make sure everything was in order. Moreover, the event planners were the house helps in parties.

Ada had no idea when Cleo left her, she searched for her and when she saw no glimpse of her, she took to taking selfies at every place that caught her fancy, and she was caught up in her picture-taking when she stormed into a lad, causing the wine he had on his hands to pour on his dress.

“You should look when walking. God! You almost ruined my dress.” Ada said aggressively . The young man gaped. This girl just bumped into him and this was her own way of saying sorry.

“You should watch before posing  to take pictures”

“Whatever, it is neither your party nor your picture taking. Excuse me.” She hissed. Men will always think they are perfect she thought. She made to leave when he said;

“Of course”

“That was not a request though.”  She took a glass of wine from a butler, gulped it all at once and walked towards the restroom.

He looked at her perfect curves, and wondered why she was acting all rude. Somehow, he was going to have her…..he walked round the hall searching for her, she had disappeared to thin air, probably she was a living picture of his sick imaginations.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give it up for the man of the moment, the brain behind Nards group of companies, Bernard Elliot”

. The compere said having made lots of jokes and gaining the people attention. Everyone clapped and cheered as Bernard walked to the centre of the hall beaming with smile.

“It’s been God, good family and friends.” Bernard said beginning his welcome address, he continued “Thank you all for being a part of this story. A big thank you to the event planner, she is an amazing person. Guys, she is single and all; meet me for her contact if you interested. Single guys only, this is not a paid advert please.” The crowd burst into an uproar of laughter. Bernard looked around and his gaze met with Cleo’s she smiled at him and he blew her a kiss. Cleo giggled, this guy be trying to give her butterflies in her belly after putting her on her toes for three weeks.

“Enjoy the party, have fun, lots of fun. Thank you.” As he said this he searched for Cleo from the corner of his eyes, and yeah, he found her talking to a seemingly familiar girl.

“Excuse me, excuse me” Bernard said, trying to get the crowd to himself, “As it is my party, I think I am obliged to make a request. So, I want to have a dance with the lady in a floral gown at my extreme left who I believe is at the moment with the event planner. She is the reason behind my messed up outfit.” The crowd turned to see who was so clumsy to pour wine on someone when the party was yet to start.

Cleo practically dragged Ada to meet Bernard at the center, as though Ada was some horse forced to the River. “I didn’t know it was his party” Ada whispered to Cleo showing all form of opposition.

“Well now you know. It’s just a dance. You’d be fine” Cleo said to Ada, leaving her at the mercy of Bernard.

 Ada stood transfixed. She wished the ground will swallow her, “how did she get here? If Tunde had been sensitive, she would not have been rude to Bernard, she needed an anger management class.... She looked at his face and for the first time she noticed how handsome he was with a beautiful face and a smile to die for, she swallowed her thought, and looked away; she did not want him noticing she was admiring his physique.

“Don’t say no. It’s rude to not honour a host’s request.” Bernard said pulling Ada to himself.

“I am sorry, I have no idea what came over me. I am having a moment and….”

“Let us have a moment then…..” he placed his hands on her waist and made sure her head rested on his chest…

Ada felt his firm hand on her body; she could only relate such firmness to the softness with which her duvet wrapped around her. It was a puzzle to her how something so firm could be this tenderly reassuring. She hated that she felt this safe with a stranger, not even Tunde’s embrace was this comforting. “What the hell is wrong with me, why am I comparing Tunde to this fine sculptured man?” She wondered.

As they danced she could feel her face flush, it made her furious.

. His arms on her waist stirred up desires she couldn't explain. At the end of the dance, she pulled herself away from him, almost pushing him “I am in a relationship” she said and walked away.

Bernard could not decipher her last words; he never asked her any question. The dance was quiet and intimate; she sure had so much power over him. The scent of her was like medicine to him, this feeling was so much to comprehend. He thought the feeling was same, she was at that moment his “world”, and this must have been how King David felt when he saw Bathsheba bathing on the roof…….And she had abruptly walked away. He turned to leave when he felt a heavy punch at his face. He fell with his face down. He could swear Mohamed Ali had given him that punch.

Tunde could not believe his eyes. He wanted to wake from this dream. He had been trying to reach her to apologise for not making it to their date and invite her for same party as a make over all to no avail, he even drove to her house same evening and met a closed door. There was something about her face as she danced with Bernard, something he had never seen in all the years of their relationship, it was like a glowing globe, so much light radiated from her face……and she held him tight……something she never did with or to him……to think Bernard was his friend......and he had loved them both with his all....

When Ada’s eyes met that of Tunde, he looked like a cat that just had his ball of yarn taken from him; eyes red like the robe of Moses, saying something audible enough only to Bernard, she ran out of the hall almost pushing Tunde.

Fueled with rage and anger, Tunde walked like a hungry lion that had just seen its prey towards Bernard and gave him a piece of his mind-a blow on the face....afterwards he ran after Ada, and saw her in a moving taxi…………..it was then he felt the effect of the blow he had dealt Bernard on his knuckle...

"Shit!" He yelled walking to his car.
