The discussion with Zoddie.

Arriving at Zoddie's place,I found him in the balcony of his house drinking and looking around the place.I assume he saw me before I entered the stairs because when I came up,the door was already opened for me.

Welcome my queen,he said smiling mischievously.I knew you'd come very soon and I've been expecting you,though you took time but you're forgiven.Welcome to my humble abode and make sure you make your self comfortable and you should feel at home ,he added.

I was just there looking at him and also waiting for him to offer me a sit.

Are you not going to sit?Or you want me to come and help you do that.He said while still giving out those funny smiles.

I sat down and asked him for water.I needed water because I wanted to calm down since I war very nervous since I came inside the place.All the confidence and boldness I had before stepping inside the building vanished into the thin air and I was shaking like I was going to be killed in no distant time.

He went inside and brought me a cup of water of which I only took a sip.I wasn't really tasty but I just needed to say something in order to ease tension.

I know you've made the right choice,since you're a smart and intelligent woman,so I'm all ears .Tell me what you've decided and do it with absolute clarity.

I don't want you to start beating around the Bush and waste my time and yours too.I hope I've made myself clear he asked and I only nodded.

You're not saying anything miss and I'm seriously running out of patience. Do you need another cup of water?He asked me as he got up from his seat and came to sit beside me.

I adjusted immediately and he laughed.

Look Miss,I may be everything but I promise you that I do respect women though to an extent.There are somethings I can't do and I mean things that are against your will,but there are ones I can do even though you don't want it.I guess that's what makes me powerful.The only thing is that I have limits unlike most men.

So you see?young lady,there's still something good about me even though people might not see it.

They say one shouldn't judge a book by its cover .So I'll like you to apply that same principle in my own case.

So where were we??

Tell me what's your decision.

I cleared my throat and told him what I have decided.

I may not be able to grant your desire but I am able to grant something close to it,only if you accept it though.

I don't want us to date but we can be very close friends and I promise you I won't betray you or do anything that might sabotage our closeness. Even though this isn't what you proposed,I am pleading with you that you accept my own decision and tamper justice with mercy.

I've always known you're an intelligent woman Betty.But..

On hearing him sat that my heart skipped alittle but I still seemed calm.

But ,I won't accept your decision yet,I'll think about it though ,that's a bonus for you.But just hope I don't change my mind and you know what that means.

Thank you very much Zoddie, I said as I stood up to leave but he stopped me.

You cannot leave unless I give the order so just calm down little girl and sit down too.

What would you like to eat?He asked as he touched my chubby cheeks. I removed his hands and kept quiet.

You don't want to eat anything?he asked and I nodded in affirmation. Alright then I'll see you off he said and grabbed my hands and we left .
