Careless Whispers

"We are going to some places today," Harrison announced, putting the car into a reverse mode. "They are very important."

"Oh." she eyed the cream knee length gown she wore. "And this will suit those places?"

"You always look beautiful in whatever you wear." he winked at her.

Too bad that she wasn't white, he could have seen how her face grew hot within seconds. She didn't hide the fact that she allowed herself to stare at him as he steered them onto the driveway. He looked cute the way he squinted his face whenever the sunlight hit the side of his face. He was so casual in his black polo and faded Blue Jeans that hugged his legs.

Four days, four days had been torture for her. He got back from work, and they argued over what to cook. The routine was interesting until she couldn't keep her hands off him. It was becoming bold how she wanted every inch of him and she was cooling herself off by what he said. He wanted her to be sure if she wanted him.

Hugh! She wanted him. But he won't give her what she want. He kept saying that he had something to tell her. Why not tell her and get over with this burning feelings?

Somehow here in the world she was officially engaged to the wealthiest man in the country. He was known as the ruthless Adeleke but here was he steering the car with coolness dripping around him. Summing up the few months they spent together before their breakup and this one month, Harrison didn't change at all, Obi concluded, he just didn't tolerate mixing work with pleasure. He wanted everything to be done at the right time.

This morning he had woke her up with kisses and pushed her into the bathroom. It has been awesome with just two of them together.

"Huh..... Such a flattery" she snorted. Her eyes now on the dirt road. Tall teak trees shadows that fell across the road creating a cool scene.

"You took five minutes to reply while you were busy accessing how handsome your man is."

Her man. "What does that mean? "

"You love it when I tell you how beautiful you look. I'm glad the effect is still there."

"So, where and where are we going?" she quickly changed the topic.

"We are paying the police station a visit and we are-"

"Police station? What happened? Have they arrested Mide? "

"Not yet. Remember I told you someone messed up with the surveillance camera, I got him arrested two days ago and he seems to have confessed to some crimes."

"Wow! That was fast!"

"Not really. My mind now is set on getting Mide at all cost."

Obi noted the dirt road didn't lead to the Klerg company building, it led to some routes through the woods and a small old gate. "No one would have thought this lead to anywhere except you. I mean the road is a loop. "

"That was the point."

They soon joined the traffic, fifteen minutes later they were pulling into the police station parking space.

"You may have your seat sir." the robust man who carried the tag name Kumba Samuel adjusted his belt.

They were taken into a Grey painted room with a big brown table and four chairs around it. Obi settled down gently next to Harrison, Samuel pulled a chair up close to the door while they waited for whoever was arrested to come in. seconds went by before the door opened again to reveal a stout looking man with overgrown beards. He had handcuffs around his wrists. he was being pushed forward by another policeman.
