When hearts collide

A Memorable day

Dedicated to Alaine42passion . Thank you for all your votes.

Wednesday  came and Lesley left for Lagos to see Ebi thinking she would be back by Thursday. She called to tell Iredia that she couldn't come till Sunday, a colleague of hers was covering up for her.

Iredia saw nothing there after all her family was there. Lesley has been off since the day of his mum's operation.

She was restless in sleep and the fire in her eyes were down. Whatever it was that was bothering her, he was sure he would know soon. She was one to ponder about things before deciding to spill.

Sunday came at last. Iredia was anxious to see her again. He missed her so much. The nights had been dull without her. He chuckled to himself.

He was so addicted. She was like a drug that he couldn't get enough of to let go. She had slowly poisoned him with her love and he was dead in it.

The money, the two million that Ebi had given to Lesley was in process of doubling. He had been busy, visiting companies and influential people to back him up in his business . He was having a hard time in it.

Entrepreneurship was a risky business and a lot of people were not ready to loose cash in this harsh economy.

He had scheduled meetings, drew proposals all to no avail until favour brought him to  Mr Barnard. An half cast like him and during the course of their meeting they had clicked so well.

Part of that attains to the fact that they were of the same colouring. His eyes were even stranger a cobalt blue on a mixed skin.

His mother was black while his father was German. He owned a construction company though not the biggest but it was well to do and being an old man, he had proposed a deal he couldn't refuse.

A three year partnership between them and after that, if the company moved forward he would sell his stake to Iredia.

He had been speechless, the company was worth millions with him coming in with just two million and becoming a 50% partner, it was shocking.

He asked ofcourse and Mr Bernard had told him how he longed to go back to Germany to settle with his estranged wife.

He had been wanting to sell to someone capable of continuing the hard work he put in and Iredia's proposal had been the best so it was a win-win situation for both of them.

Lesley would be back soon and he couldn't wait to tell her he had closed the deal. He was going to resign at his old job.

Mr khare wouldn't be glad but fuck him. He could take his intimidating ass somewhere else. This was a new start for him, for his love with Lesley.

At last a breakthrough and if they become stable, he wouldn't waste another minute before making her his before God and all mankind.

Iredi smiled and settled down for a nap. Lesley had a key, she would let herself in. She told him not to bother picking her up.

Iredia dozed off thinking about all the ways that mischievous girl would be waking him up.

...........

Lesley woke up with a start. Tears running down her cheeks, hunted by the same nightmare. Her body was cold and damp with sweat even though the weather was hot. She rested her head on the head board.

It had been a year since her encounter with Mr khare. She was glad iredia was not in close proximity with the leech again because she didn't know if she could bear it.
