FARIDA

Time to commence Phase 1.

"Hi." A deep baritone voice says to me. Lifting my head, I am met with a freaking gorgeous man! Not as gorgeous as Tobi but still a spec! A whole meal. Sorry, bro. I have my baby already. Bukky will like this one.

"Hi." I smirk, receiving his outstretched hands for a shake.

"Mind if I sit with you?" He asks. No! I want to scream.

"Sure." I smile, making a hand gesture to the seat and he returns the smile before sitting.

"You're from here?" He asks and I shake my head No.

"Yeah, me too. Preye, from Nigeria." He introduces himself. What are the odds?

"I'm Farida. From Nigeria too." I respond and he just smiles.

"Oh. Great. Such a lovely coincidence. I live here now, though. I manage the resort." He states. This guy seems cool, though. We get talking and even exchanged contacts to chat on WhatsApp. I was already exhausted and needed to sleep.

"Goodnight, Preye." I let out a chuckle as I bid him farewell when we arrive in front of the room's door.

"Rest well, Farida." He turns to return to the elevator, leaving me. Heaving a deep sigh, I insert the room's key and gain access, only to be met by Tobi's burning gaze.

"Who was that?" He asks me.

"Jesus, Tobi!" I hiss, rolling my eyes at him.

"Who was the guy?" He asks and I sigh, taking off my dress. His eyes follow my figure.

"Tobi, please, I want to rest. Or, am I not allowed to make friends again?" I ask him, stripping off to just my underwear and strut to the bathroom to run the bath.

"I'm not saying you can't make friends. You know I won't say that." He stutters in his speech. Yinmu. See this one. I have not even started. Childish? I don't care. Quickly, I apply my face scrub and walk to the bathroom to have my bath, making sure to lock the door behind me. I don't want any persuasions from him. I know it's going to be difficult but this man has to learn.

After having my bath, I wrap the towel around my body to see Tobi still sitting in the same position I left him earlier, a scowl rests on his lips as he looks up to take in my form.

"Baby girl, did I do anything?" He asks me in a voice that would normally result in a loud burst of laughter from me.

"No." I respond. He leaves where he is sat to walk to me as I dry off my skin. I feel his fingers on my shoulder as he gently massages me on there. Honestly, I am in dire need of this relief he's offering right now, considering how worked up he left me earlier.

"Mami, I'm sorry for whatever I did." He apologizes, his breath hitting my shoulders as his deep voice echoes in my ears. I know where this will lead to and honestly, I want to cave in so bad, but a girl has to be strong. It does not mean I will not enjoy the massage, though. I can eat my cake and have it on this aspect. He starts making moves to take off my towel but I slap his hand off, resulting to shock written all over his face.

So, when coming for this bae-cation, I expected us to have a lot of fun. It's why I came here with sexy lingerie and night wears. He ruined it with what he did earlier. It's why I will set my revenge in motion with these sexy babies I bought. So, I put on a pair, taking note of his eyes following my moves.

"Goodnight, Tobi." I say to him.

"Goodnight, baby." I pretend to be asleep some minutes after laying down. I could hear the shower running in the bathroom. Guess he's having his bath. When he is done, I am still awake still faking sleep.

"Baby, I am sorry." He whispers into my hair and leaves a lingering peck on my forehead.

•••••

"Good morning." I chirp happily, leaving him stunned.

"Good...morning." He hesitates before answering me.

"How are you doing, this fine morning?" I ask him, trying to act oblivious to his stunned state.

Tobi just keeps staring at me, no doubt wondering what magic happened over night. So, I thought about it last night and realized that I could not continue with the negative energy towards him. It's killing me, him too.

It does not mean revenge is cancelled. I'll just be myself with some extra spicing up to rile him up.

"It wasn't good. How about yours?" I mentally give myself a tap on the back for a job well done.

"Mine was great, actually. Wonder what went wrong with yours." Placing my hand on my chin, I pretend to be deep in thoughts.

"Like you don't know." He grumbles.

"Did you say something?" I ask him.

"No." He answers and glares at me when I smirk.

"So..." I walk up to him, giving him a peck as I land myself on his laps.

"What do you have planned for us today?" I ask him. His hand snakes possessively around my waist.

"I've ordered breakfast." Is his response. My phone chimes and I reach out to it, positioning it in a way he'll have a view of what I'm doing. It's the only way he'll see the chat between Preye and I because my man ain't no snooping baby.

Good morning, beautiful.

-Preye.

Lol...you flatter me. Good morning.

-Me.

I could hear his low hiss as he pretends not to look.

Hope you slept well.

-Preye.

Yeah. Had an amazing rest, actually. Did you?

-Me.

Yes. Though, you were on my mind.

-Preye.

This man is flirting with me. Great! Just what I need right now. Tobi's grip tightens around my waist.

Mind if we meet up today? I could pick you up from your room, you know. 😉.

-Preye.

The message makes me chuckle and I feel Tobi's hand tighten around my waist. He should keep pretending there.

Sure.

-Me.

My phone is yanked off my hands and I roll my eyes, turning to see Tobi frowning his face.

"Breakfast is here, baby girl." He forces out a smile. I now thats the main reason but I'm glad the purpose is being met.

"Alright. But I don't see it anywhere." I state, shrugging my shoulders.

"Just wait and see." He smiles, shoving my phone in his pocket before heading to the door. True to his words, he ushers in the staff rolling in the breakfast trolley.

"I'll take it from here. Thank you." My mouth waters, looking at all the food placed in front of me.

"Baby, let's eat." He states.

"What would you have?" He asks me. It's actually hard for me to make a pick right now.

"Anything, sweetie." I say to him.

"You sure?" He asks with a raised brow.

"Yup yup." I answer, popping the p.

"Alright."

Later in the afternoon

"You know, I brought you here so we could have a great time but you're getting prepped to go out with another man." Truth is, I'm not going out with Preye. In fact, I have already cancelled, but I won't let him know that, though. Me that saw a nice boutique downstairs and intends to shop.

To be honest, I really don't buy the idea of running off to another man simply because Tobi annoyed me. It's just an illusion I want him to have. If I didn't have deep feelings for him, I would have, but with Tobi, it's sort of different.

"Just a friendly meet up." I shrug.

"Can you hear yourself, Farida?" Ah. What happened to baby girl? The man dey vex. Yay!

"It's Farida now?" I ask him dramatically. Of course, he calls me by my name sometimes. I just want to annoy him.

"Oh God!" He repeatedly smacks his forehead in frustration. Riling this man up is a sight for the eyes. So funny to watch.

"Baby, is my offence so unforgivable?" He asks in a low voice, circling his hand around my waist. I try not to meet his gaze so I don't have a change of heart.

I want to wrap my hand around him right now and kiss him senseless. Lord, help me pull through with this revenge.

"Take care of yourself, sweetie." I know he's about to kiss me but I swiftly dodge those tempting lips of his and sashay out of the room, winking just before I close the door. The smirk I have on disappears the moment the door closes behind me. Keeping up with this whole thing is so tiring.

Anyway, Phase 2 checked.

"Good afternoon, ma'am." The attendant says to me. I am glad he can speak English, even though it sounds a little funny. It's still better because I have no clue on how to utter any word in German. Tobi understands and speaks it well, though.

By the time I am done, I'm honestly shocked to see that I have spent almost all of my day here. It's 5pm already. I have my purchase sent up to my room while I head for the restaurant. I honestly need to eat. The rumbling of my stomach is enough proof of my hunger.

Finally finishing up all my outside business, I return to the elevator and sigh as a sadness envelope me. One I have successfully caused for myself. Should I just let it all go? The ding of the elevator interrupts my train of thoughts and I step in, only to be met by Preye.

"Hi." I say.

"Hey, what's up?" He responds with raised brows.

"I'm good. Just tired." Before he could respond, the ding is heard.

"That's my cue. Talk later." And he steps out. When it finally gets to my floor, I start reaching out for the room's keys. The room is dimly lit with red lights when I enter, and I see a trail of roses.

"I must have gotten the wrong room." I mutter to myself, on my way out to confirm my doubt.

"You didn't, baby." My sweet sweet man. His breath fans my nape as he hugs me from behind.

"Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I'm sorry for what I did on the jet." I thought he was claiming amnesia since.

"I have no clue what you're talking about." I finally turn to look at him and take in the view behind him. Scented candles are lit in line with the trail of roses.

"For the sexual stunt I pulled. Baby, I'm sorry. I know you're angry with me."

"I'm not." I voice out.

"I know you are, baby. Please, forgive this inconsiderate man." He drops on his knees, surprising me. Tobi, king of ego, dropping on his knees to beg? I knew I would drive him on edge to beg me but not on his knees. I did not expect this! Also, not this early into my revenge plans. The game hasn't even begun yet and he's already caving in. Damn!

To be fair, he stopped his egoistic ways when we got together. Now, he's a bundle of sweetness.

"Sweetie. Please stop kneeling." I coo.

"Until you forgive me." That's his response.

"I forgive you, please. I already did." He finally stands up, smiling.

"Thanks, baby. I love you." His words have me in a state of shock.

"I..." I want to say it back. I really do, but the words are stuck in my throat.

"Shh...you don't have to say it back, baby. Allow me love you tonight." And with that, he practically sweeps me off my feet.
