For Never and Never

Chima is not tall dark and handsome, he's more like tall, light and handsome and smart... he's brown eyes blend perfectly with his light skin. He's the kind of guy you'll look at once and then keep stealing side glances at.

And his voice.... wow! Creamy and silky with a bass undertone. The kind of voice that you would love to keep listening to; the kind of voice that when he calls, you'd like to keep him online for as long as possible.

So here is my dilemma... Chima is married to Ada and I am married to Tunde. Our families have an admirable friendship. I think I am attracted to Chima. I don't know the point at which this switch from seeing him as a friend to someone desirable happened, but it did. I can see you guys rolling your eyes at me and calling me an evil selfish horrible backstabbing friend ... Thanks a lot.

I don't want Chima to know that I am attracted to him. So I try to hide it as much as possible, I don't look him in the eye, handshakes don't linger... no hugs (not even side hug). I don't call or text him, I don't visit Ada when he is home. I don't visit without my husband when I know he is home. I have all these rules in place to protect myself... cos he must not know I am attracted to him.

But recently, I started noticing some things; his eyes linger on me, he's smile lingers also... and sometimes I catch him staring at me with a longing I refuse to explain. And one day he pulled me into an unexpected side hug that lingered longer than normal and the way he squeezed my shoulder. I have tried to explain it away as my imagination, a deception born out of my own suppressed desire... or my obsession with ensuring he never finds out about my attraction to him. I fear that somehow, he has discovered my secret and I hear that when a man knows he is loved... it often draws out a desire in him too... is this true?

Regardless, I have decided that I wouldn't let my guards down... my secret will remain a secret. He must never see my attraction to him.

And then this happened…

I went to visit Ada after I called to ensure she was alone. We were both at home enjoying a nice afternoon together when she got a call to pick up something she had ordered. Her son was sleeping and she didn't want to wake him up so she asked me to stay at home with him until she got back... it wasn't a long distance trip. I agreed.

A few minutes after she left, little Nathan woke up and I went to pick him up, brought him into the living room to play with him. Then I heard a knock on the door. When I looked through the window, my heart did a thousand flips. I put my hand on my chest and said "Al iz well' three times before I opened the door for Chima.

"Hey! How are you doing" I said

"I'm doing great, thank you" he replied.

This wasn't happening! 'Act Normal' I kept repeating to myself.

"Where is Ada?"

"She quickly stepped out to pick up something"

"Ok"

He picked up Nathan and started playing with him... another part of him I admired so much... he was such a child with his son. I sat watching Nathan as he giggled.

Then he dropped him on my laps and went into their bedroom. I didn't know I was holding my breath until he left. I let out a long sigh and looked at Nathan... "daddy isn't supposed to be home now" I whispered to him. He looked at me with a questioning look as if trying to decipher what I was talking about.

I put Nathan on his play mat and walked to the mirror hanging on the wall to check if everything was in place. As I stood there, Chima came out of the bedroom and stood behind me, I looked at him through his reflection in the mirror and He had that look... so intense I thought I'd melt. In that instant I knew.. that he knew...
