WIFE MATERIAL
Episode 10
Later on, Sandra came to see Paul in his office. They both exchange pleasantries.
“I came to see you because I haven’t heard from you lately,” Sandra complained.
“I’ve been quite busy with work. Do you have any plans?”
“Not yet, you said I should pipe low now. I’m in for anything that will make Ikenna come back to me. I miss him so much, I can’t stay without him.”
“I understand you. He will surely come back to you.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, do you think marriage is that sweet? People are just pretending. There are times you miss what you’ve had in the past. There are times you regret your decision of ever getting married. I’ve been there.”
“You are assuring me that he will come back.”
“Yes, my dear.”
“I’m sorry to ask, but what happened between you and your wife?”
“She doesn’t want to stay. Her expectations in the marriage were high.”
“What were her expectations?”
“Hmmm, She wanted me to pamper her like a baby. Mind you, she works but still wants me to provide for her. She wanted to be in control of my affairs. The one that p.issed me off was that she went through my phone and got some contacts of my female friends. She called them and told them to stay away from me.”
“That was ha.rsh, she was troublesome oo.”
“My dear, I had to call it quits.”
“I’m sorry about that experience.”
“Now I’m free like a bird and I’m not ready to marry now. That’s why I don’t like it when I see my fellow men l.ick women’s a.sses in the name of marriage. I know exactly what my friend needs and I’ll update you on that.”
“Okay, thank you so much for your advice.”
“You are welcome.”
“Let me be on my way, a big client is waiting for me at my shop.”
“Alright dear, take care.”
“Thank you,” Sandra said and stood up and left.
The following Sunday, in the evening, Paul came over to Ikenna’s house so they could go to the nightclub. He was in the living room discussing with Ikenna.
Ikenna’s wife wasn’t so pleased seeing him because she was beginning to see the type of person he was. She only came out to greet him and left for the bedroom.
A few minutes later, Ikenna came to the bedroom.
“Baby, I don’t know what you are trying to do but if it’s that nightclub you are not going anywhere,” Amara insisted on.
“My love please, I understand your feelings. Let me just do this for him, he’s my close friend. I’ll comport myself there.”
“I’m not in support of this and I won’t go with you.”
“Don’t worry, after today I’ll stop. Let me just go, I’ll try and come back early.”
“Ok,” Amara said but still not cheerful.
Ikenna then went and dressed up and in no time, he went to meet Paul in the living room.
Both of them left and Amara locked the door.
Paul was happy seeing that only Ikenna came out.
“I love how brave you are, no woman can change me,” he said as they both entered his car and zoomed off.
Some minutes later, they got to the club and alighted.
They went to their usual position and sat. A waiter came to take their orders and afterwards brought some alco.holic drinks.
“I just saw my colleague, let me go and talk to him,” Pail said and left.
“Ok.”
He then left and in a few minutes, he came back.
They started drinking and enjoying the moment.
About thirty minutes later, Paul took a bottle of the drink from the table and left for the dancefloor.
Ikenna was alone drinking and trying not to disobey his wife. He was just looking around and watching the enthusiastic crowd.
He saw a lady walk in, she was dressed in a short fitted sleeveless grey gown that exposed her smooth intrinsically beautiful tig.hs and curvy clea.vage.
She sat directly opposite him and pretended not to have noticed him.
It wasn’t her appearance that got Ikenna agape but because it was Sandra.
Ikenna was shocked, he hadn’t set his eyes on her nor spoken with her ever since he told her to move on.
“Sandra now behaves like she doesn’t know me, maybe she didn’t see me. She looks so beautiful now. Let me just go and talk to her. No, what’s even wrong with me? But she’s still known to me after we broke up. Let me just say hi,” Ike thought as he secretly observed her.
Later on, he stood up and went to where Sandra was seated.
“Hi Sandra,” he said stretching his hand in a handshake but Sandra rebuffed it.
“Hi Ikenna,” Sandra said looking indifferent.
“It’s been a while.”
“Yeah, you are right.”
“You came with someone?”
“No, I came alone just to ease off stress.”
“Okay, you did well. I didn’t hear from you again.”
“Hear from me? What do you mean? You said that I should move on.”
“Yes, but you moved on like you never loved me.”
“You and I know that I’ve always loved you but I respect your opinion.”
“Please we are not enemies, okay.”
“Okay.”
They continued discussing.
Later on, Paul came and joined them. They moved some of their drinks to the table where Sandra was.
About an hour later, they all left the club and went to where Paul parked. They entered the car and left.
Paul dropped Ikenna off at his house and left with Sandra.
“You are the master planner,” Sandra hailed Paul.
“You can say that again.”
They both laughed
He later dropped Sandra in front of her house and left for his house afterwards.
