The mass was over. Church was a necessity to Lesley. Sundays were her days with God. She couldn't boast of being a perfect Christian but she tried her best.
She waved at the choir master who had been trying to push her into the choir.
And also sighted another old lady who was pressuring her to join another society.
Lesley looked down to avoid been seen by her and walked quickly out of the church and just passed the door when she collided with a body in her haste to escape.
Arms encircled her waist to keep her steady on her hills.
"You okay now?"
Lesley shook her head. There was something disturbing about the voice and the way the fingers felt on her.
She looked up uneasily.
"Yes, thank........."
Her words died in her throat.
The face she saw was the same one that had haunted her for weeks and now it was staring at her with the same hypnotic smile.
He was still holding her, they had somehow become closer.
His heat was confusing to her. She didn't really know what she was doing. All she knew was that her knees where weak.
He was so tall. Her gaze locked on his Adam's apple as it moved.
Lesley licked her lips and felt pressure from the hands on her waist, before he let her go.
"Hey, it's you, jasmine. Nice to see you again."
"Oh Hy Iredia."
His brows rose up as he smiled.
"You know my name? Missed me?"
Her stance changed and she stared at him.
"No, friend just mentioned your name last night, said the guy that hit me was called Iredia..."
He was smirking.
"Don't get it all wrong, Aisha was down about it and that's why she told me."
"So nice of you to have clarified my misconceptions Lesley."
"You know my name?"
Lesley put her hands on her waist. She was trying her best not to react to him.
"Yes, no need for pretending, there's something about you. You intrigued me the last time we met. It's been awhile since I received such hmmm...entertainment."
He smirked again.
Lesley wanted to hit him. Entertainment? Was she a clown?
She narrowed her eyes, came closer to him, poked his chest and said.
"If you want a circus, go watch one but if you are hoping for another "entertainment".
She intoned using her fingers to trace the shape of a quotation mark on his chest.
"Then you are in for shock. I dislike pompous asses like you who think they are it!"
"Do you think I am it? You like what you see or maybe you want what you see."
His arms enclosed her waist again.
Lesley checked their surroundings. The church had emptied out. Only a few people were at the gate.
She tried to move out of his embrace but he pressed her to himself pushing her slightly to his chest.
She was getting tongue tied again , she trembled, her knees were weak again. She was telling her brain to make her legs move but nothing was happening.
