The hustle of the day had taken its toll on me so coming back home from a grueling day was a huge relief to me. On entering my flat that I shared with Dozie, I kicked off my shoes not minding where they fell, dumped my briefcase and headed straight to the fridge for a cold beer.
That cool amber liquid felt so good as I sipped it while relaxing at the balcony and that's when she passed by. Slim, cocoa butter goddess. I didn't know her name and found myself hissing to catch her attention. I ordinarily shouldn't have done that but I allowed desperation get the better of me. She did turn around only to give me a disgusted look that spoke volumes. I shrank inwards suddenly ashamed of my behavior. I didn't call after her again as she turned to continue her sashay.
