It Didn't Occur To Me

Lanre knew she needed to do something fast and without hesitating at all, if not they would both be ripping each others cloth soon. Not that she was having so much clothing on. She forcefully pulled out of K’s arms. She asked him if he was okay, and if he has a death wish. K pulled her back into his arms. He told her to stay still and he just wanted to feel her. He told her she was the peace he needed at the moment.

On hearing that, Lanre could not argue nor put up a fight. She could not find a reason to push him away anymore. She just lets him hug her to sleep. Letting go of her fears, Lanre became comfortable and slept peacefully in K’s arms.

Waking up the following morning and realising where she was, Lanre became a mess of thoughts. She could barely tell her left from her right as she was so confused on what to do and could not find her phone either. Neither was K there on the bed with her. She stood up trying to open the door and go out but it was locked. She had totally forgotten to call Eno last night to tell her that she won’t be home last night, and now she had no means of leaving. The telephone in the hotel was restricted to calls within the hotel and could only reach the hotel management.

“Where the hell did he go to? Ugh!” Lanre exclaimed. She sat back down on the bed. It was funny how she slept so deep and did not realise when K left the bed or even the hotel room. Besides, why would he even lock her in? She could not have thought he would do this to her. Lanre decided to stay calm and sit still after realising there was no way she was getting until K comes. She was not even ready to create a scene by calling the hotel management to come and help her because of the nature of her night dress. She wouldn’t want any judging eyes on her.

After waiting for heaven knows how long, the door finally got opened. K walked inside with a bag in his hand. He looked like he had gone shopping.

“Where did you go to ni? Like did it not okay to you that I will have to leave this morning because I have got some work to do?” Lanre nagged.

“No it didn’t! It didn’t occur to me that you would need to leave here for work. It only occurred to me that if I don’t get you some clothes, the whole world is going to see your sexy body on display if you walk out that door”. K said to Lanre. She was about raising her voice when it occured to her what he actually meant.

“Wait, you bought me something to wear?” She asked. Her lips were battling to stay still. She could not hide the smile for long.
