TIES THAT BIND

THE MEETING

As the car sped towards sunset like an arrow aimed for gold, a slipstream of air rushed and Moduroti inhaled it deeply , loosing herself into the sight before her.A smile lurking at the corner of her lips ,lost in the scenery of nature before her for too long,she overshot the turning of the watery lane and in a haste to to gearchange ,she hauled on the steering ,not seeing the cyclist she swerved across the road to the other side
Mo screeched in horror trying her best to avert the unforeseen accident but she was far way too distracted there was little she could do, she had hit the cyclist already. She burst out of her car in a bid to check on him and knelt down beside him placing her hands on his arms neither could deny the sizzling warmth of the contact ,Moduroti quickly as if she had touched an hot substance .
"I'm dreadfully sorry" ----- "I didn't mean to" , hope you didn't get injured ,"Are you alright?"
To her great relief, the object of her concern ,her victim ,scrambled to his feet cursing all the way up till he rose up to his 6'3 full height .He dangerously and sexily towered over her
Never in her 24 years on the planet earth had she being intimidated by a man's height because she also gave an impression in the women's world standing tall at her 5'9 height.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen men taller than her but he had couple of things extra special to his height that made him intimidating, an aura of unshakable confidence surrounded him coupled with his handsomeness and damn...... she thought to herself THAT KILLER body that would look good in a designers suit.
"What the hell were you playing at? ",are you trying to kill me or something", He roared.
The voice, even without trying made itself known as she felt hot in places she couldn't even start to list out.
"I'm sorry " she said stiffly. knowing that she was in the wrong .she couldn't help but roll her eyes at his arrogant attitude.
"At least, i already apologized.
" It's not like I purposely hit you or something" ,she retorted clearly speaking with a polished British accent.
"Actually, i didn't mean to be rude. "Maybe I could help with your bike".
"Never mind", he said curtly . he was taken aback by her .Determined not to show it, I feel safer when I'm behind the wheels
and with this happening ,"No thanks, I'd rather go back home by my bike.
As soon as he replied, he strode out in his MAJESTic majesty.
"God ! I'm late! , first day of work this doesn't sound good at all," she lamented.
Rushing into her car . she drove off to Adenuga Incorporation
located at the heart of Lagos
Ikeja".
she sped along buildings of great size and couldn't help but imagine the busy state of Lagos.
As she drove into the company's parking lot she hurriedly got out of her car " creamy" and walked briskly pass the doors down to the receptionist's desk.
