Exclusive right

"Now to my question... How many women have you been with?"

"Huh?" Tunde was stumped. He wasn't expecting that. 'What kind of a question is this for goodness sake? How was he supposed to answer her?... and he already promised he would never lie to her.'

"Two, three... Like how many exactly have you been with?" Abby asked again

"Uhhhmm... Eeeehmm..." Tunde stalled for time, thinking... 'How many girls have I slept with in my life? I'm almost thirty-one, how could she expect me to remember that!? Not like I keep records. Abby this is so not fair!'

Abby rolled her eyes at his hesitation and sighed deeply. 'God! I don't have the strength to compete for his attention and fight off vindictive girls. I want him exclusively to myself. Is that too much to ask for?'

"Tunde I asked a simple question. Is there somebody out there I should be worried about?... A girlfriend that is still in the picture? 'I certainly hope none', a baby mama, a fling that fell in love with you, a vindictive ex, a possessive ex, a crush, a side chick?... Anyone?"

'Oh was that what she wanted to know?' He thought with relief before answering her question with clarity.

"None! None of the above. I have two exes and they broke up with me out of their own volition."

"Hmnn you have just two exes. Why do I find that hard to believe?"

"The rest are just... Uhhhmm casual sex... There's absolutely nothing for you to worry about."

"Okay, thank you for being honest with me... I like you too Tunde. I'm also not sure if what I'm feeling is love... I just know I like you so much and I would like us to always be honest with each other in this relationship.

We do have a lot to talk about... A lot to learn about each other. Unfortunately, we can't talk right now... I have to go back inside to Mike, It's not fair to leave him all by himself just like that."

If only Mike wasn't waiting, she would have loved to continue this conversation and settle all other doubts in her heart about him, but she had to go back inside, she's been gone for like thirty minutes if not more.

"Who gives a fuck about him?"

"That was mean and you were rude to him earlier too... How could you even treat him like that when you don't even know him?"

"Oh, I'm expected to treat him with respect now huh? The very handsome Mike you had hopes of being with!? You're not going back in there. You are my woman and I'm taking you with me."

"Yeah, I'm your woman now," she said and smiled sweetly, loving the way he's possessive of her. I don't have any hopes of being with Mike. We're just friends nothing more. Me saying I preferred Mike to you... That was just empty talk."

"Just friends you say? On your part maybe but not on his. That man in there is obviously in love with you. It's written all over him."

"I never knew his feelings for me were that intense, but I promise to set him straight and let him know about us alright?"

"And I also promise I'll see you tomorrow immediately after school," she said, kissing him fully again on the lips."

"School? I thought you were a model," They talked in between little kisses, sucking and nibbling at each other's lips. unwilling to let go.

"And I thought were just a military man, how a military man could afford to live in Banana Island and drive a 2020 Mercedes Benz S class is what I don't know...but I guess we'll talk about it tomorrow right?" She asked seriously.

He laughed. "So you also know about cars? I'm impressed," he said with a pleased look on his face.

"I have three big brothers. What do you think we talked about while growing up?... Dolls?" She asked jokingly and they laughed.

'The three big brothers you threatened me with!" You actually want them to beat me up? I'm deeply hurt." He joked. Since Josh was protective of her, he could imagine what the two he was yet to meet would be like." One down, two to go.

"You don't look like a man to be pushed around so stop playing with me and I really should start going." He said apologetically

"Okay, we'll talk about everything tomorrow then" He agreed. "I hate to see you go, hate it more knowing you're going to be with him. No matter what you say about you both being friends...I just can't help being jealous, okay?"

"I understand... But really, there's nothing to be jealous about cos it's you I want and choose not him"

After another round of steamy kiss, they finally let each other go

"Off you go then before I change my mind." He had an important business meeting to schedule with his team anyway.
