“Mama, you’re back!” Bisi squeals to her mother as she stepped inside the house. She hugs her, wrapping the arms around her mother’s legs. But Adaobi didn’t have the strength to embrace her daughter back.

“Bisi, I appreciate the hug. But your mother is tired and needs to rest. Do you understand?” She asks.

“Yes, mama, I understand," She replies, giving her mom an adorable look, she lets go of her.

“Make sure you brush your teeth and pray before going to sleep.” Adaobi tells her, she nods her head yes.

Adaobi goes upstairs to her room. Taking off her high heels and crashing on the bed, too tired to take off her clothes. Adaobi sighs and pulls out her phone, she raised an eyebrow by the amount of messages she received.

“Nawa o! I get all these messages of people congratulating me on doing a good job of hosting the latest episode of my talk show when it’s an everyday thing for me." A feeling of pride wells in her heart, but was quickly replaced by a frown. "But I have no man texting me,” She muttered to herself.

“It’s not easy hosting a talk show and being a single mother raising a five-year-old daughter. Even though my last man left me, I still need love in my life. I need a man that can treat me right and be a father to my child,” Adaobi said out loud to herself, something she always did when she was alone.

“There’s no guy I know personally that I’m interested in a date, even if they are cute. I guess I could always use Tinder to find guys to date on Valentine’s Day.”

She shrugged, seeing no harm in that. She opened up Tinder and starts searching for guys that live near her area. She swipes left on multiple men; either they were not her type, or she wasn’t interested in getting to know them. She continues searching for five more minutes until she found the right guy. His name is Adewale.

“Bobo, you too fine. Eh, look at you. You look like you workout every day, your eyes are hypnotizing me, your lips are so kissable, you look clean and have a nice style, and I’m attracted to a successful guy. Let me message you immediately before these other ladies do.” Adaobi was a woman that knows what she wants and she didn't need to be told twice before she went after it.

She quickly messages him. “How far?” waiting for a response from him. In a few seconds, he did reply.

“I dey fine. I’m glad to be texting a beautiful woman like you.”

She squeals and blushes when reading the text.

“You certainly know how to sweet talk a woman.”

“How can I not, especially with a woman like yourself?”

“Aww, my cheeks are turning into volcanos from all the blushing I am doing.”

He chuckled. “That’s good.”

“Haba, you chop craze!”

“You do well.”

She busts out in laughter. The smile never leaves her face. “You are attractive and funny; you are everything I need in a man. I’m surprised you’re not married yet.”

“I’m flattered. I hate to brag, but females do throw themselves at me since I am good looking, rich, and successful. But I don’t want any random woman that only cares about my money or my dick size." Adaobi laughed at that. "I want a woman I can gist with at any time of the day and truly cares about how I feel. I will give the same energy back.”

“Funny enough, I am looking for a guy who cares about me as a human and not because I’m a successful TV presenter. Plus, I’m looking for a guy who can be a good fatherly figure to my daughter.” She decided it was time she let him know that, so she would know his thoughts on it, before they go deeper.

“You have a daughter?” He sounded surprised, as she expected.

“Yeah. Her name is Bisi, and she is five years old. Don’t worry, I’m not married or have a boyfriend taking care of her. I’m a single mother. My last man left before Bisi was even born.” Adaobi informed him.

“Wow, I’m sorry that you have to raise your daughter by yourself. No man should leave their wife or girlfriend before the baby is born.”

Adaobi smiled at the gentleness in his tone. “Thank you," she said. "Are you comfortable being in a relationship with me even with me having a daughter?” The words came out from her lips before she could stop herself.

“Yes. You seem like a genuine woman who has been through a lot. I will love you the way you should be treated," He said. "I will be the best baba ever.” he added.

Adaobi laughed at that. “Good. How about we have our first date on Valentine’s Day? Do you have a nice restaurant we can go to?”

“RSVP Restaurant. They have the best food in Lagos.”

“That sounds great. Can’t wait to see you in person.”

“Same here. I will pick you up around 8pm tomorrow. Just text me your address.”

“Okay, bye.”

“Bye.”

She puts her phone down and gets off the bed to dance. No music is playing, but shakes her butt while clapping like she’s at a club. When she turns around, she notices her daughter staring. She abruptly stops dancing.

“Bisi, wetin dey? Umm, how much did you see me dancing?” She asks, feeling embarrassed as she tries to hold in her laughter.

“I only saw you shaking your buttocks in my face," The five year old replied.

“Sorry, honey. But the reason why I was shaking because I got a date tomorrow.” She reveals.

“A date?” Her daughter is confused.

“A date is when a man and a woman agree to hang out and get to know each other better to see if they are in love or not.” She explains.

“Oh”

“I met a man online that I was attracted to, and we both agreed on going on a date. His name is Adewale, and he is taking me to a restaurant tomorrow around 8 pm.”

“Also, he’s going to be your new father..." She stops herself, realising what she had just said. "Hopefully," she added. "So I’m not the only one that will take care of you. I can’t wait for the both of us to meet him.”

“Who’s going to take care of me while you two are on your date?”

“I will call my Aunty to take care of you.”

“Okay.”

“It’s time for you to go to sleep. Did you brush your teeth and pray?”

“Yes, mama.”

“That’s what I like to hear. Good night.”

“Good night, mama.”

She gives her a hug. Adaobi picks her up and embraces her in her arms.

****

It’s 8pm on Valentine’s Day. Adaobi waits patiently for Adewale to arrive. She smiles, she knows she looks good and sexy. Wearing a black snakeskin faux leather bandage dress that is above the knees and some cleavage is showing. Black stilettos on her feet and golden hoops on her ears. Beautiful and healthy box braids. Her makeup is light, but her face is still stunning. She has her mini Chanel purse.

Her daughter is asleep. Aunty will be here in a few minutes to watch over her while she is gone. She texts Adewale to see where he is. Before she could send the text, a car pulls up on her driveway. She is putting her phone in the bag. She gets up and adjusts her dress. She is spraying some perfume on. Once she heard a knock on the door, she opens it and witnessed him.

He is wearing a black dress shirt and black pants with brown shoes. He has a Rolex watch on and he smells good in his cologne. His haircut is fresh and wavy.

“Adewale?” She asks, making sure it’s the right guy.

“Yup,” He replies.

“Wow. You look handsome.” Adaobi compliments him.

“Thank you. You look beautiful and sexy.” He compliments her, and she chuckles.

“Let’s go on this date before all this blushing kills me,” She said rolling her eyes.

He moves his arm forward, waiting for her to touch his hand. She feels it, and he escorts her to his car.

After thirty minutes of driving, they make it to RSVP Restaurant. She is amazed by how beautiful the restaurant looks. It feels like she is at a fancy tropical resort. They get out of his car and check-in. Once they get their tables, they start figuring out what to eat.

“Heii Gawd, why didn’t you tell me that this restaurant looks like this? They even got a pool inside this restaurant." She stared awed. "I’m so blessed right now,” She said excitedly.

“You deserve nothing but the best life has to offer.” He tells her.

Adaobi giggled. “This is amazing. I don’t even know what to choose as everything looks good to eat.”

“Did any man ever take you to a restaurant like this?” He asked.

Adaobi shook her head. “No. But this is my favorite so far.”

He smiled. “I had a feeling you would love it.

~~~

"I want to know more about you, I want to know more, tell me about your business, you must be rich to be able to get us in a restaurant like this?” Adaobi asked, while they were already sitted.

Adeola bit his lips and shrugged. “I always had a passion for running a business. I even begged my parents to let me start working at age fifteen so that I may build up my resume.”

“Wow, I love how ambitious you are," Adaobi complimented.

"I always want to strive more in life. I don’t want to waste any opportunities that pass me by. Now I’m successful and happier than ever. I’m a boss of the male clothing business, and I’m dating the most beautiful and sexiest woman I laid my eyes on.”

Adaobi gave a small laugh  “You never fail to make me blush.”

The waiter arrived. “Are you two ready to order?” He asked.

“Do you know what you want?” Adewale asks her.

“Yeah. For the starters, can we get Seabass Nigiri? For my main course, I will get wild mushroom risotto. As for my drink, I will have a Margarita.”

“Thank you, miss,” the waiter said, and he turns his attention to Adewale.

“I will have Duck Breast. My drink will be Ca Delle Rose. Can we also have Strawberry Crumble for dessert?”

“Yes, you both can. I will have your orders in a few minutes. Enjoy yourselves and have a good night.”

A few hours later, they get done eating their meals and getting to know each other better. Adewale pays for their meals, and they leave the restaurant. They head back to his car.

“That was the best date I had in a while. You made my night,” Adaobi said honestly.

“My pleasure. I had the time of my life eating good food and getting to know more about you,” He told her. “Same here. I wouldn’t mind going on more dates with you.” he added.

“Does that mean we’re officially boyfriend and girlfriend?”

“Durh!” He said in a girly tone.

They both laugh.

“Since we are officially a couple, what else do you want to do? We still have the rest of the night to ourselves.”

“I usually don’t do this, but I want to go to your place. I’ve been staring at your gorgeous body and face throughout this date. My body couldn’t resist how attractive you are. We can end the night on a pleasurable note.”

“I would love that. Hope you’re prepared for the ride of your life.”

“I’m ready to play with my boy toy.”

They kiss each other slowly and sensually. Both of them are fighting for dominance, but his tongue connects first. His hands unzip her dress, exposing her bra. He cops a feel on her breasts, which she lets out a soft moan. Adaobi reached her hands out to his pants and starts rubbing on his bulge. Adeola gave a low moan as pleasure spiraled through his spines. He stops kissing her and puts his finger in her mouth, which she quickly sucks on. He uses his other hand to detach her bra, they fell loose. He rubs and pinch on her nipples. She stops sucking and moans more into the kiss.

But Adaobi ends the kiss as she unzips his pants and takes off his boxers, exposing his manhood. She spits on her hand and strokes it. He licks his lips from the pleasure he is feeling. He puts his mouth on her breasts and sucks on them. She jerks him harder and faster.

“Fuck, your hands feels so good.” He said.

“I love the way you are satisfying me right now. Don’t be afraid to touch my flower, I’m ready for you.” She insisted. He kisses her as they continue rubbing on their sexual parts.

They continue to please each other orally and talking dirty for ten minutes until Adewale stops it. They catch their breaths from all the pleasure that they received.

“Wow, ain’t wasting no time getting freaky. Let’s finish this up in my place. I will give you the satisfaction that you’ve been yearning for the longest. You deserve it.”

“Yes, please. I love you.”

“I love you too.”
