After dinner, (which i could barely eat because my mind kept wandering to the kiss), Obi suggested we go see a movie, how was i to tell him that, seeing a movie was the last thing on my mind.
I decided silence was the best approach and so we went to the movies.
It was crowded as is the case on Friday Nights, Obi selected an action flick and we got popcorn and drinks and sat down to our movie.
He had chosen seats in the far corner of the cinema,As we watched, and in the cover of darkness, he put his arm around me and i snuggled into the comfort of his embrace.
He whispered, "Are you cold?", i nodded and he drew me in closer.
Then we ate our pop-corns and watched in silence, he drew me in a little closer and i looked up slowly, and he kissed me again, not minding that there was a crowd.
This kiss like the one before was deep and sensual, it held a lot of promise of things to come,
"Omg, i was falling for this man", i thought to myself.
He lifted his head slowly and i opened my eyes to meet his smile, "he asked are you warm enough now?"
Again i nodded for fear that my words or voice would give me away.
After the movie, we walked out holding hands, was i in-love with this man? had i forgotten my ex Richard already?, my mind mused, as if from a bad dream i looked up and i saw Richard.
"Hi Nneka"he said, without acknowledging my partner, i replied "i am great Richard, how have you been?" I asked, we continued an easy conversation and for a second his power over me took hold and i had forgotten to introduce Obi.
I had not also noticed that Obi had walked away and was slowly striding to his car, when i did i said my goodbye to Richard and ran after Obi,
He had gotten into the car and was obviously fuming.
"Who was that?" he asked, "my ex" i replied, "and you didn't think it was necessary to introduce us, you insulted me by standing there and talking to him when i was right there"he said.
'I am sorry it skipped my mind" i responded.
He replied, "oh, i see, so i am so forgettable, eh Nne?.
"Why had i said that?" i thought, "No Obi, i just felt it wasn't necessary"
Without saying another word he turned on the ignition and drove.
