...Dinner...
As Mike Knocked on Tina's door for the dinner, he began to lose composure: how can he look at Tina his girlfriend, how could he have planned for such dinner, inviting Tessy and Tina at the same time? I will carry Tina to Tessy's house and the two ladies will be in the same car, Am I stupid? He thought. Oh God! I need a clean way out of this situation, how can he let his feelings cloud his right judgement.
He knocked again..Who are you? Tina echoed from her bedroom, her voice seems so relaxed, come in the door is open. It's me Mike, he answered as he walked in to the sitting room and sit down. Tina comes out, putting on a red gown, (intra-personal) mmm, she looks beautiful but can't be compared with Tessy, common Tessy is beautiful both in face and character.
She was surprised to see Mike in her house, "oh Mike it's you, why are you here today, I thought I told you to call me before coming to my place, but you didn't call nor text me." (Intra-personal) Jesus! For my own house. He decide to reply her, "what do you mean I didn't tell you about my coming today, what about the Dinner we planned at Tessy's and ..." "Oh Tessy, that girl, now I remember", she interrupted, "well Mike I don't think I can go with you, when I know you will only go there, staring at her just like you did at the Movies." "In fact as you can see, I am set for another dinner with my Company's Associate, and this dinner means a lot to my company, so I will not give it up for your little get together." "The Man am about to have dinner with is Mr Ogbonda Olympio, the son of the Famous Olympio Construction Company based in Portharcourt, you should know what that means to my career and my Company."
"Mikey, she reached to him and gently touched his face, just go on with your dinner, my regards to your friends, especially Tessy, tell her to get another man and stop mourning her ex." (Intra-personal) He didn't die. "Oh Well that's perfect for me, he replies, I should be going,before, em, Mr Ogbonda Olympio comes in, it won't be proper hanging around when he comes, have fun, and please discuss all the open avenues for your company to exploit, I should be going, my friends are waiting, the hug and he left feeling like a woman who has just put to bed...relief at last. "I will definitely seek out other opportunities available for me and my company", she echoed. "Amen," Mike replied.
"This is a miracle indeed, Emma, what did you do? How did you do it, how can Tina agree for me to go out with another lady," he wondered. Now he could be at peace with himself and really have fun, knowing that Tina won't be around to bug his life.
At Tessy's apartment nobody was there, he became worried and dialled her number, "hello," he said, as he heard her Voice he composed himself, "where are you My Lady, how can you keep a gentleman waiting in your house?" "Mr Micheal Freeman, I don't want go to dinner with you and your girlfriend, if you want to share a drink with me come over, am waiting for you." "Of course Tessy I will love to share more than a drink with you, so where are You?" "Am at Linzy's Bar, you remember there?" Of course I do, he answered, that was the first place they had dinner together.
The sight he met as he stepped into the Bar was exclusively beautiful, he wished the moment wouldn't pass away, alone in the executive bar was Tessy sipping a glass of champagne with candle light all around her, and beautiful flowers, she was wearing a white-designed dinner gown, as he came close to her, he extended his hand but she stood up, ignoring his hand and kissed him, at first he was stunned but he managed to relax him self, swallowing once, he held her waist with one hand, he could see her lips dripping, hungry for a partner, he pulls her head closer to his, and their lips hugged passionately.
He never thought it will be this fast, but kissing the woman of his life, he felt fulfilled. "Am sorry for ambushing you this way..." "Oh stop I should be the one to apologise for ...licking her low lip, taking deep breadth, "thank you for everything you have done for me, she finally said, "I don't know...if I will ever have this opportunity again, Tina may come in anytime, you know she has a way of spoiling good moments, I couldn't come to the dinner because Tina will be there." "Please stop,I LOVE YOU!" "I have loved you since you came to my class that day... for me to tutor you, wearing that skimpy jeans and weird make up," he chuckles, "you...mmm, you are the girl my heart longs to be with, I have waited, years for this moment, I have waited to admit that the feelings I have for you is not just for friendship." "But what about the rules?" "To hell with our rules Tessy," Mike replies, angry in love, "I made the rules and I'm breaking it!" "Please come into my world not as a friend, but a lover, companion, soul mate, my lady,and my wife!" "I promise you, you won't shed tears again over men, come lets 'Usane Bolt' together our world will be a happy one," he kissed her lightly.
"I love you too Mike, I have loved you all along but am afraid of Tina your girlfriend, she will raise hell if she gets to know about us." "You don't have anything to be afraid of I will sort that out when she comes back from her dinner with the rich boyfriend, Ogbonda Olympio. "Ok," she said.
They ate dinner and drank to their new found love forgetting about their friends who were all at Emma's place having a drink.
Few weeks later, Mike was in his office when he received an international call, "hello Micky-Micky, it was Tina," and it immediately dawned on him that he had not seen nor heard from her since the dinner night, he had become so involved with Tessy that all about Tina was forgotten. "Hello Tina, where have you been, I have been looking for you," he lied. "Shut up Mike, you looking for me, as if you cared about my whereabout, anyways, I am calling to let you know that I am currently in Dubai with Ogbonda for a business trip, I will see you when I come back." "Business trip at Dubai? Mike asked sarcastically, "when are you coming back?" "I don't know for now, I feel you should not wait for me, just live your life when am back I will let you know, it may take months, and another thing, I won't be needing the apartment again since my business trip here may keep me away for some time, my sister will come and pack my things." "Thank you for everything, you are such a good boyfriend." "Thank you too for understanding me," Mike said. "Bye!" She hung up.
It was a surprise visit. Though Bisi was aware that Mike had planned for them to have a barbecue together. Tessy was surprised as they came in carrying coolers and bottles of wine. "To what do I owe this visit?" "Hey Mike why command this troop to my house, hope all is well?" Tessy asked. "We just wanna hang out with you, help me with this cooler to the kitchen." As she went into the kitchen, Mike opened a bottle of wine and shared to Emma, Benita and Bisi, as Tessy came back to the sitting room, Mike came before her, knelt down on one knee and brought out a case of a golden ring, he opened it and stretched forth his hands towards her, Em mmm, licking his low lip, "Miss Theresa Dike I have known you for more than five years," he said, "most of those years you were just my friend and you were the best, I have known some girls but none has match you in beauty and character, you brought peace, joy and happiness into my life, that is why I can't wait to make you mother of my unborn princes and princesses." "Tessy Will You Marry ME?"
Only the tick-tack of the clock could be heard as the silence lingers, all eyes were on her now, Mike's heart beat could also be heard, Mike starts thinking as she delays, "what if she says no, "I go just die for here"'.
"Oh Mike!! Why have you taken so long to ask?" "I Will Marry YOU Michael Freeman," she shouted, with tears of joy in her eyes, "I can't wait to marry you." He put the ring on her finger and kissed her, they all shouted in excitement. She hugged him and hold on to him as if he will run away nor change his mind.
Mike brought the letter to Emma that evening, the letter was from Tina. He opened it again for the second time and read it to Emma's hearing:
"Hello Mike,

I heard you are getting married to Tessy, congratulations, don't be surprised I always know we are not meant for each other, am not angry infact am happy for you.

Epilogue
Emma Couldn't believe Ogbonda will fall inlove with Tinna, he only wanted Ogbonda to take away Tinna's attention from Mike and Tessy, but one can never tell what love is capable of.
It all started that morning Mike came to Emma complaining about Tina and what to do to get Tinna packing in order to make room for Tessy. Emma knew that Tina patronise online dating site "Singles Meet and Marry" and that she needs a man who can spend on her without complaining. Meanwhile, Emma's Boss, Richard Humphrey is a close friend of Ogbonda, who is single and searching. All Emma did was to tell Humphrey his Boss about the online dating site who in turn introduced Ogbonda. Ogbonda registered that same day, the next thing Emma did was to act as the Online match maker, he called Ogbonda telling him that a Match has been found for him immediately he registered, and she is Tinna Osemeka, he sent her phone number and address to Ogbonda. Ogbonda immediately called Tina and in their long conversation he asked her out for dinner that same night...Tina Who has been looking for an opportunity to hook up with a rich man agreed to his date. At their dinner Ogbonda asked her to travel with him to Dubai for shopping, in Dubai she found out that he is really in love with her, then from Dubai they travelled to Paris where he proposed to her, she can't help but agree to marry him.
Emma thought of all that played out and smiled to himself. I bad o! He thought.
