Lockdown

Chapter Three

I know, that was overly weird for a lady to ask, but it shouldn't really matter right? I guess you can say that was my way of saying No to Patriarchy.
It took Mr. Victor a while to answer me. Perhaps I left him in a state of shock;

'Just a boxer short' he answered;

There was an awkward silence for a while after he answered,
I didn't know what to say after that, in my defense this is the first time I'm doing this. I'm used to being asked rather; we've gotta give the male species a thumbs up for some of the sexual initiative they take. Anyway, everything was awkward after Mr. Victor's reply.

Now I just had to have a little control over myself, and do the needful to avoid any weird statement after this.

'Tell me about this Grace girl that gave you the wrong phone number' I asked him;
I could hear him sigh before attempting to answer, again, my rather odd and poorly-timed question.

I've made things a lot weirder by letting the greens take over again. I clearly wasn't myself,

I sure didn't want to hear about this lady, but what choice did I have, that was the only thing that came to my mind when I was still battling on how to change the awkward atmosphere.

He told me how he had a crush on her since he saw her at a café beside his place of work;
I wouldn't lie, I became jealous and intentionally blacked out a bit to avoid hearing more of his crush on lady that didn't regard him enough to give him her real phone number.

He was done talking and all I could say was
'Great'; don't judge me, I honestly had nothing more to say.
We were quiet for close to a minute and then he asked me;

'Are you good Miss Cocoa?'
Again I nodded like he was there with me 'mhmm mm'

'I guess you would like to go to bed, because you seem a bit off' he said;

Of cause I sounded off, but it wasn't because I wanted to go to bed. I really want to keep talking to him but I feel like I spoilt our conversation today with those weird questions I asked.

'Goodnight Miss Cocoa, he said to me and patiently waited for me to say it back.

I responded; 'Good night Mr. Victor' and hung up the phone,

Gulped my remaining glass of wine, went straight to my drawer to pick my trusted and most reliable companion (My Soraya vibrator) watched porn, reached climax and then passed out.

Victor's POV

'Tonight seemed weird' I blurted out;

'What's off about tonight?' my big sister asked;

I told her what had happen after Cocoa asked me that question; I was battling with asking her the same thing but I didn't know what kind of signal she was sending my way, if she was going to get mad if I asked her the same question or if she wanted me to.

So I kept mute for a while until she spoke and asked how I knew Grace; I was a little upset hearing her name, but I felt Cocoa was trying to change the whole mood so I answered to make everything less weird.
But, I have a feeling Cocoa felt awkward when I didn't say anything back.

'For Christ sake Victor! You didn't ask her back? How the fuck didn't you realize the lady wanted to get sexual with you?

'I know I know;' I told her with some sort of frustration;

'Then why didn't you say anything?';

'I didn't want to ruin everything, what if it was a test to know if I was just a sexual pervert or not? I responded;
