I work at one of the new generation banks in victoria island(VI). There is this lady that caught my attention in my work place.

Call me a narcissist and you won’t be wrong. I wasn’t the finest of a dude and height is no way on my side.

The prayers of my mum made me escape being an arara(midget). So after university, I promised to embrace my qualities and find peace with it.
P/2
Isabella is a work mate with every of the qualities a man prays for in a woman. The physical amazing and her intelligence top notch.

On this day I offered to pay for her lunch. I was expecting her to turn it down because we are not on the same pedestal even if we were on the same payroll. This is not just an assumption I arrived at. She drives a fancy car which was gifted to her by her father.

Also there is this guy that use to come check her during working hours and I must say man is blessed but I can’t place a hand on the fact that he is her boyfriend.
Flawless skin with a glorious gait, melanin popping and very soft spoken.

When she talks you’ll surely want to listen to her. To cut the long story short we both went to a nearby fast food. She ordered and did same likewise. Then this conversations ensued

Me: I was thinking you will turn down my offer
Her: why?
Me: Never mind. I think my imagination is at play.
Her: Anyways thanks for your kind gesture
Me: you are welcome Arewa
Her: what does Arewa mean? Is it not a socio-political group for the Hausas?

Me: no that’s not the meaning. Arewa in Yoruba means a beautiful lady
Her: okay
Me: yeah
Her: so most weekend what do you do?
Me: I wash cloths, press phone and sleep
Her: (she gave a little grin and asked) do you have a girlfriend?
Me: I don’t have.

Her: Even if you have will tell me the truth
Me: that’s the truth but it won’t be bad if you become my girlfriend.

she gave a smile that showed a bit of her dentition.

Me: Why did you ask what I do during the weekends?

Her: Nothing actually it’s because I get bored mostly on weekends
Me: so does that imply you’ll like me to visit?
Her: sure if it’s fine by you
We finished eating and we both giggled back to the office. All this feels surreal because I find it hard to believe.

For the few working days to the weekend, it felt like a year because I couldn’t just wait for Saturday to arrive already. I visited her and we had a nice conversation with wine and chips to go with it. We didn’t fornicate but I had my very first girlfriend in that beautiful soul.
