Matchmaking

Chidi had brought Folake to his house. He didn't like that she was looking the way she did but he hoped she'd be okay. He called Rex to check on her but by the time he got there, she wasn't doing so bad. He prescribed some medications and left afterwards.

" Baby, I'm going to get your meds. Please stay put. Do not go round the house sweet, you're not strong enough for adventures." He warned, giving her a soft kiss.

He hurriedly left his apartment so that he could make it back on time. On his way back, he got her, her favorite fruit salad; thankfully, he met her just the way he left her. There were no adventures. He held her close, after making her take them.

He stroked her hair repeatedly holding her really close. She was his life; he'd die if anything happens to the woman in his arms. He studied her body movements for a while and smiled broadly. She touched him and a loud groan escaped his mouth. He tried to hold her hand but she didn't let him. She was bent on getting what she wanted; she found it again, held it in his trousers and squeezed it a little.

" shit " He let out a soft moan. Her hands were on point, whomever thought her this did well. He thought.

She didn't care how many times he moaned or about the sounds he made. she wanted an adventure and it seemed like the right one. She unbuckled his trousers, zipped it down and let it out of his boxers. she looked up at him to check for any sign that he didn't want any of it; found nothing. she cupped it, moving her hand around it slowly and lightly. she saw that he closed his eyes and continued; evenly and gently stroking her fingers around it, strobing it up and down and doing a few twists.

It had hardened, just the way it normally was when he was on fire and she could tell that this was one of those times. She hated the fact that he was forceful but she could use some of his touch. It was what she wanted; a touch from him. If she had told him plainly, he would have refused because she wasn't feeling too good but the Chidi she knew wouldn't do so now because he needed to cool off. He looked at her; his eyes filled with fire from burning desire. He was confused, she had just put him on edge and he'd almost lose his mind if it didn't happen soon but there she was laying innocently. He wouldn't, for the first time, he couldn't. She was human and should be treated as such. He looked at her eye; they were filled with sadness. It was something she wanted but he had to turn down the offer. She could pass out if he handled her with the fire burning inside of him. He would protect her now and attend to his later; he gave her a gentle forehead kiss. He kept her close until they fell asleep.

Adenike's house was a place to be. A place anyone would address as 'beautiful'. She had nice furnitures; they were well positioned, giving the entire house a flawless look. She'd always thought so highly of herself and that she'd made a nice investment. Folake's old photograph sat pretty on the wall next to hers. she'd stare at it from time to time reassuring herself that she did raise a good child.

Folake entered the house gently to avoid making so much noice; she didn't want to attract her mother's attention almost immediately.

" You're here. Not as early as I imagined " Adenike said, walking in on her daughter.

" shit "

folake murmured underneath her breath

" I had tutorials " she said.

" Come with me. "

She said, using her hands as direction.

" I told you. we're having visitors. Be nice "

Adenike continued to chat with her daughter; they set the table as fast as possible. Not long after, they heard a car horn.

" They're here "

she said, looking out the window.

" They ? " Folake asked.

She smiled, walked to the door and opened it.

" Ahn ahn... Mrs Williams. You're looking yourself as usual. come in."

They entered and she closed the door.

" this way please. "

She directed them to the dinning room, they made themselves comfortable.

" Is this your daughter? She's grown o " Mrs Williams said, smiling

" Ade is a grown up man." She complimented and they both laugh.

" Folake, meet Ade, Ademola Andrew Williams. "

she said, eying her to say something.

Folake's POV.

What???!! she called me over for this? what a good way to waste my time today.

*

Ade, a guy in his mid twenties with fresh beards and no hair on his head sat in front of folake observing her seriously and watching her body movements closely.

"Nice to meet you miss"

he finally broke the little silence.

His voice was deep, manly and sounded really nice. He was handsome, looked sweet but didn't smile. They continued their conversation and all Folake could do was stare at the perfect creature in front of her. She barely heard everything but nodded at everything her mother said.

Folake's POV.

Guess what? the so called dinner didn't last so long. All I could think about was how the other side of him would be. If you know what I mean... Anyway, he took my number and I'm super excited inside of me. I could stare at him forever. He's cute and complete! Oga Chidi sef is in one corner o. Ademola looks sweet abeggg... that boy sweet for face even as he carry akpa ( skin cut )

Folake spent the rest of the night communicating with her new found crush. They talked about the basic things; she compared him to Chidi in her head. Ade could be a pretender, could have tons of bad sides and to top it all, an illegal source of income. He didn't mention his job even when she asked but unlike Chidi who bragged about a lot of things, he was different and could be much more useful. Her mother had always wanted to play a matchmaker and when she finally got the chance, she played her role really well. She loved Chidi regardless.
