Pearls of Love (Episode 29)
Up till this time, Ann is yet to contact me. I had also been constrained to get in touch with her, aside the very tasking training I was undergoing. Sincerely I missed her and the kids too, I missed talking to her. Before this time, we always talked, any every given opportunity, even while we both had so much work to do. People say doctors don't have time for their family, but that was not Ann, we had time for everything!
Always, I had stayed away from my mails for a while. So during this one-week break we had, I was able to attend to some things, including my mails. I sent Ann an e-mail, telling her how much I missed her and the kids, and a little about the training. I sent the number she could use in reaching me.

The whole one-week break went and I didn’t get a single mail from Ann, even after sending up to five different mails to her. Her number also seemed to permanently off. So there was no other means of contacting her.
I met this lady who lived close to my guest house apartment, we first met at the supermarket, then I didn’t even know she was even my neighbor. She was single, a student at the college of medicine.
On our first date, we talked about Ann, my family, and hers. I noticed we had some things in common, except that she was a student and single.
Now, I was missing the life I had with Ann; I felt my life was empty. I missed her and the kids. I guess most regrets come when the deed had been done. Now my entire focus was my work, and business. I was making good money and was happy. Yes I love money, I love big cars, I love big houses, I want to own Jacuzzi and become very famous. I wanted to become someone to be reckoned with in the life history. That may come without the family, yes, it can come without a family!
I wondered if Ann had truly moved on with her life. If she was already in a relationship and has a boyfriend. I was not sure if she could stay all by herself. I had a feeling she couldn’t possibly remarry, she wasn’t that crazy about men! Boyfriend! Could she possibly have that? I thought of the possibility, and concluded at thirty- seventy percent chances, with the larger percent, being on the side of not erring.

I remember this particular Friday night; I closed from the office earlier, I was really fagged out, been having a persistent headache for almost a week; and this constant feeling of vomiting. I met Kelly, my new neighbor, just as I was about going in, she had just returned from school too.
“Closed early today” she asked, her folder in her hand, smiling.
“Yes’, I nodded stepping in “You just are coming back too?”
“You don’t look too good”. She said.
“You are right, I think I have fever” I replied.
“Oh! Sorry, you need some rest, it must be the stress.
Everyone who was close to me always think I overworked myself. Sincerely I know I have this restless nature, even my mom talked about it so much while I was growing up, I was told that even as a kid, I was always active never dull; Ann had talked about it countless number times. I also know it, but it was just my nature, I couldn’t be idle, I hate lazing around, and I disliked procrastinating when I could get it done at that time. I still wonder why I would be sitting-down to rest, when there are over a million things I could do.
I smiled at her understanding, she cared. She was like my sister; I liked her since after we met at the supermarket. I had refused to be tempted to think of her in terms of sex, no she was like a sister.

She followed me into my apartment, and I sank into one of the couches, breathed out loud and felt very exhausted. Kelly brought some aspirin and gave me with water, I thought of how wonderful she was.
“Thanks” I forced a smile.
“You’re welcome”, she smiled too.
I swallowed the aspirin and kept the glass on the stool beside me.
“I didn’t know I was going to meet you at home” She said. “I saw a card at the supermarket, I liked it and felt like buying it for someone, and I bought it for you”. She took out a special greeting card from her folder, the envelop was blue and had a design on it. I was surprised and almost speechless.
“This is nice of you”. I took the card and opened it.
A Little love shown to someone is like a million dollars. Today is a friendship day; a handshake of love is extended to you today because you are thought of, and you are a true friend.
The words were nice.
“Thanks” I told her
“You like it?” she asked
“It is beautiful”, I replied “Thanks for thinking of me”.
She blushed. She looked even more beautiful when she blushed.
“You are beautiful, only if I was not married, I would have loved to marry you”. I told her and I meant it that time, but it was only for that time, but it was sincere. I have noticed her in the neighborhood; she was different from most of them there.
Music of Joe was playing from the double CD-player...
Tonight I'm gonna do something to you.
Open up, don't be afraid, let me do what I wanna do.
I complete me you in every way,
I'll send shivers down spine,
Girl this thing will blow your mind.
So come and lay your body right here,
Girl you're beautiful.
Shorty let me touch you right there,
You're so beautiful.
I can't wait to tear it off,
You're beautiful.
Let's keep the lights on,
So I can see how beautiful.
You know, Joe is a very romantic guy, sometimes I wonder if he is has romantic has he sounds in his songs. Honestly with Joe's "So Beautiful" within a few minutes, all the pains and headache was gone, and we were both humming Joe. She asked for a dance and we danced very close. For a moment, I almost thought I was with Ann, Ann liked Joe a lot, the same way I did. We came very close and I kissed her.
“Dan” she whispered, the color of her eyes changed, they looked alarmingly beautiful, and demanding.
“Dan”, she whispered again, and our eyes met.
“Yes”, I replied, still holding her close.
“What do you want?” she asked nervously.
I wasn’t sure of what I wanted, but I really wanted to kiss her. I didn’t answer her, but instead kissed her again, we kissed and soon we were on the floor. I went straight for her skirt and dipped my fingers inside, as I made to pull her panties off, she pushed my hands off and got up.
“We can’t do this”, she said. I got up and sat back on the couch. I guess one can’t have a win-win all the time. No woman had ever refused me though, but that doesn’t mean that I was perfect.
“Are you angry?’ she asked. I was surprised I thought she would feel I was taking advantage of her, but she seemed very calm.
“Angry, why would I be?” I answered wondering what to say to her.
We couldn’t talk about anything again after this, and so she left that day but came back two days after, that was on a Sunday. We played scrabble. At around two while we were playing at the lounge, there was a knock on the door and Kelly got the door. It was Ann. I can’t still describe my feelings now. I can’t say either how Kelly felt, I noticed she wasn’t at ease and I know millions of thoughts went through Ann’s mind.
