No Strings Attached

THE WONDER WOMAN ONE

The minute timi opened her eyes she was ready for another moment like it happened every time. She thought about last night with beck, it wasn't so bad after all but it was going to be her last time with him, it was no news that she believed in not seeing a man for more than a week but she had spent two weeks with beck. When she firstly saw him at her friend, Benita's engagement party, his looks and body were quite and still enticing and alluring that moment she knew he was what she needed to stay away from the stress of work which consistently wore her down. She remembered vividly telling him that there was 'no string attached' that their being together was only for fun and nothing more. She rose from the bed taking the sheets to wrap her naked body. She sat on the dresser staring at him through the mirror smiling, only if he knew what was coming for him the minute he woke up, not long he spoke "you are awake" rising from the bed also naked makes for the sheets smiles realizing she was with the sheets already, he moves close to her kissing her neck she moans softly, wondering if she could stop their affair maybe next weekend and continue with him, but what had to be done must be done

"Hey I have to tell you something" she says shifting form him

"It can wait later" he says nuzzling her neck, oh gosh he was tempting and already with a boner, oh put yourself together timilehin Lewis, she snaps in her head

"No it can't" she says leaving his side staring at his body, holy cow it still lures her as always

"We have to end this" she finally says

"But we had not really..."

"I know beck but there is really nothing we can do about that right now remember what we agreed on when we started"

"NO STRINGS ATTACHED, anyways at least I can kiss you one last time" he says reaching to kiss her, when their lips she felt nothing but freedom

"I will miss your boobs" he says pulling her closer so he could touch them "oh this angels were magnificent" he says teasing her

"Get dress and get going" she says, watching him get dressed she smiles to herself a smile of victory this was going to be her eight one in the last three months, she knew many were coming and were going to end up this way

"Hey sham could you pass me the ball" habib takes a swig from his bottle before throwing the ball to his little nephew. Ever since his five older sisters got married he never allowed their children call him uncle they either called him Habib

"I see you and Olaitan are getting along pretty well" his second elder sister said wearing a long floral Ankara dress due to her pregnancy for her second child

"His been lots of fun" habib says rising to give her a kiss on her cheek

"I hope this one is going to be a girl the stress of having a boy is much" she says patting her stomach. He smiles taking a glance at his watch

"I have to go right now, got loads of work to do"

"Why?, you just got here, I was just enjoying your company. You know by tomorrow you would leave for Abuja can't you stay with your big sister" she pouts

"I wish I could stay here longer, don't worry when I have the opportunity I will stay with you for a week" he says rubbing her hand

"Promise"

"I promise" he says raising his hands. Giving her another kiss on her cheek he leaves her alone to smile at her five years old son who seems to be playing with someone imaginary.

He arrives at his office to get all his property for his relocation to Abuja.

"Hey bro you going tomorrow" tega his work friend says coming in

"Yeah" he says not shifting his attention from what he is doing

"Be sure to get me those abj babes right"

Sham smiles at his friend who was wearing a wicked grin. Tega pats his back before leaving his office. He watches his friend leave the room and slouches on his chair it was high time he left Lagos. He smiled as he recalled what his step mom who was the first wife for his father and the mother to his first three sisters, Wuraola, Teminijesu-mother to Olaitan- and her third child kemisola after her he had a second mother who gave birth to his fourth and fifth sisters, oreoluwa and funmibi while his own mother was the third wife, a woman from Pakistan who his father married when he went to Pakistan, as the Yoruba believe a male child to be very important as he carried the family name while the girls carried their future husband's name. He was in quest to look for a male child at all cost so that his son could take over all his property ,but right now he feels bad for his dad that his only son-him-is not willing to work in his oil companies and instead became a lawyer and now as his own established law firm in Abuja. After his mom gave birth to him three years later his mom gave birth to his sister, Rahila, making him and sister half caste compare to everybody else in Adeyinka-peters family. His step and favorite mom was almost in tears when he told her he was about leaving Lagos for Abuja to work in his law firm, sabsar51 law firm but he had promised her that he would always come visiting and there was also Oyin, whom he had told that they should end things because he didn't want long distance relationship with her and the relationship was becoming very complicated. He knew within himself that Abuja held something though he wasn't sure yet what it would be but he knew he would be happy there compare to the way he was in Lagos
