BECOMING

chapter 4 *unedited*

***
Praise has been Mary's best friend since high school.  She was a year younger than Mary. She was a beautiful woman, tall, dark with luscious curves. Unlike Mary, she furthered her education and was a Managing director in a micro finance bank. She was doing too well but it seemed like nothing.
She met mike her husband who was a regular customer to the bank for years.  They got to know themselves and Praise wished so much for their relationship to lead to marriage.

***
Mike had it all going for him, a rich business man who got ladies confused with his looks. He was Tall, dark , handsome with a broad chest and a muscular body.  He was the definition of a prince charming. He decided to settle with praise because she was all he wanted. Beautiful with massive curves with brains that never stopped working. Mike was obsessed with Praise's body. Her body intoxicated him. Those thick thighs that kept his brain twitching. Her full perky boobs was enormous enough to drive any sane man crazy and the insane one sane.  The first time they met, he couldn't keep his eyes off her neither was he able to take his mind away from thinking dirty.
He met her at the bank where she worked. He was given a confirmation letter to pass to her for signing. He was directed to her office  and the very second their eyes met, he felt he needed to know more about her.
When Praise lifted up her face, she was marveled at the amazing creature before her, his light brown eyes caught up with hers and at that moment, everything changed.
He looked and smelled so good. Mike gave a dashing  smile because he was fully away of the fact that he made her shy with his presence and caught her trapped in the moment.  But he was a gentleman who decided to make things easy for her. Staying focused was hard as they kept on smiling at each other. Mike was glad it wasn't one of those days where he had to send his assistant.

"Hi, they call me mike, but you can call me Michael."
She tried so hard to hide her blushing smile, but it was already out there.  She tried keeping it professional , which worked at some point. 
"Can I have your card, we could meet up after work"?
She thought of giving but hesitated for a while to avoid looking vulnerable.  But he had to be sweet about it.
" please Miss"
"What makes you think I'm a miss"?
" your tag".
"Oh, okay then"
She pulled out her drawer and took out a white complementary card and handed it to mike. He had this satisfying look on his face as if he won lottery. But looking at the damsel in front of him was more like a jackpot.
When she was done signing the confirmation letter, he stood up to go and then smacked his forehead as if he had forgotten something important.
"Can I please get a hug"?
"That would be extremely unprofessional, considering this is an office"
"Oh common! Please? Today is my birthday"
"I guess u won't take No for an answer"
"No, I won't"..
She moved away from her seat and worked closer to mike where he could see her full features, he was astonished.
Slowly  and reluctantly, he couldn't take his eyes off her, allowing her to walk to him. He was lost in thought of how one woman could be so beautiful. Those hips that settled easily on her polka dot straight cut skirt, and those enormous boobs that couldn't stay hidden in the fully buttoned white long sleeve shirt.
He was brought back from his thought when he felt her hands on his neck. She smelled like early morning tropicals. Her hair was a breath of fresh lemon smell. He gently wrapped his arm around her waist. Oh! How soft her body was. He wanted more than a hug as he could feel her heart beating faster than usual. She could feel him too and there was no denying.  He was so warm and his breadth was nice. His deep voice captivated her and wanted him to moan with those voice to the beat of her touch.  Damn! He made her think about how long she has stayed without a mans' touch. She was too busy and had been to even notice until now. No! She wanted this man. She needed him to touch the deepest part of her very being. She wanted to moan to the feels of his hand.
" praise, snap out of it, what if he's married"? She thought to herself"?
He gently let go of her but his hand still resting on her tiny waist.
"Praise, please! I need to see you again" he whispered under his breath.
She walked back to her seat and picked a piece of paper and wrote down her address and handed it over to him.
"Thank you, I'll be there by 7pm to take u for dinner, please don't say no"
"I won't, I'll be ready".
He nodded and walked away. He wish he didn't. He could feel the fire inside of her. They could both feel the fire and wanted to be burnt away by that fire.
On his way back he kept thinking about praise and he still had her scent on him. Her body was so soft. An ebony that had a noticeable beauty just sitting on her. He had never met any woman who made him feel that way.  He couldn't believe he just met her and couldn't get her off his mind.  He wish he could take her with him.

***
Praise couldn't believe what happened. Her breath was moving on a fast pace. She couldn't stop smiling. She just met this man and he seemed like she's known him for years. The way his hand rested on her waist felt like it was made to be there. The connection she felt. The adrenaline rush. She wanted and yearned for him to run his hands all over her body. She wanted to feel his bare body.  His warm body on hers. His stubbornness and perseverance was attractive. How he stared lost fully and lustfully at her made her yearn for him more. His brown eyes fixed to hers and holding her tightly till dawn.
"I can't believe I've stayed for 3years since Philip died without a man"
Praise was once engaged to be married, but she lost him. Philip was a soldier who lost his life fighting for his country. After his death, she decided to get busy as a form of distraction and in the process got too busy to even look at a man. But this man she met, swept her off her feet. Even if it wasn't for a relationship, she just needed him for the sex. And he seemed like he was going to give her good sex. The kind of sex that will smack her brain to default and remind her what she's missed in the past years.
" I'm certainly ready for this".
