Staying Single: Part 7- The Number One Suitor



Unfortunately it is so. Thank goodness Remy had realised the error also and as she was such a quick thinker, pulled me up spun her around quickly so that her exposed panties were not on show to the whole world. Sadly it was a little too late, a couple of people had already spotted the misdemeanour and were in fits of laughter. Kemi mumbled a few incoherent words to The Suitor and allows Remy to usher her past the people looking to see what was so funny. Once again, my gist will be everywhere! WHY ALWAYS ME?

They get upstairs and Kemi is too upset to do anything but hold back tears of frustration and change into leggings and a tank top. Stephanie who had seen the whole thing followed them to her room

Steph: Babe it really wasn’t that bad, nobody saw everything I swear
Remy: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell her! Babe don’t cry and spoil your make up.
Kemi: **exasperated** it’s easy for you to say; the whole world didn’t just see your bride price! And did you see the smug look on the Ex’s face? I could have slapped him! I’m so ashamed right now; I definitely can’t go back down there! Steph do you mind if I just stay in your room for a while?

Steph: Suit yourself, but it really wasn’t that bad. Trust me, I’ve seen far worse! Imagine if you were actually fat now!
Remy: You can’t stay up here for the rest of the night oh! Don’t even think about it girl!

Out of the blue, there’s a knock on the door, thinking it’s Nkechi coming to join the gang Steph opens the door and lo and behold none other than the Suitor.

Suitor: Do you mind if I come in?
Steph, Remy: Glance hastily at Kemi and back again to the Suitor.
Kemi: No not really, it’s over anyways.

Steph and Remy quietly leave the room without another word, leaving just Kemi and the Suitor in this slight awkwardness that highlights the room.

Suitor: I’m really sorry about your skirt baby, but you still look beautiful in the tights though
Kemi: They are leggings!
Suitor: Oh. My bad.

**more awkwardness**

Suitor: So you ready to come back downstairs? I wanted to introduce you to my friend.

Kemi: What kind of fool is this? Introduce ke?? After the debacle that just ensued? God forbid! Id rather not go down right now, I’m still pretty embarrassed to be honest.

Suitor: **approaching her** Oh come here baby.

He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her close to him, he smells of intoxicating cologne and manliness and Kemi can’t muster the willpower to make him stop. Plus she doesn’t want to, she wraps her arms around his shoulders and slowly he lifts her chin and locks his eyes unto hers, staring into his dark brown eyes Kemi feels all the embarrassment and shame of the last few minutes melting away. Slowly and passionately they kiss, their bodies moving together in perfect harmony like waves in the ocean crashing at the shore and retreating to the water just to come crashing again. Kemi releases her grip from his neck and lifts her hands up.

Gosh Kemi, in Steph’s room?? But he’s such a good kisser though!

The Suitor as if understanding exactly what she wants takes off her tank top and removes his shirt, revealing abs that can cut through diamond. They kiss quicker, like they just realised the world was coming to an end and the only way to stop it is to exchange saliva as quickly as possible. The Suitor kisses down her neck and on to her collarbone.

My life needs a soundtrack. Now humming inwardly Keyshia Cole- Heaven Sent

**Ahem** someone clears their throat, none of them had even been aware of the door being opened. The Prince is standing in the doorframe looking at them with this looks that says, “I nabbed you” on his face.

The Prince: I figured if you were going to play me with anyone it would be Sola, who’s this n*gga?

Luckily The Prince wasn’t in the mood for a confrontation, he had come to the room looking for Stephanie because the party was running low on drinks.

Kemi: We should go back downstairs too, see if there’s anything I can do to help

Suitor: Who is Sola? That dude from Amaranto?

Kemi: **kissing him** Yea that one. Hmm, so being weak in the knees isn’t a myth huh? Who knew.

Suitor: **pulling away** were you guys together or something?

Kemi: Why do my moments always get ruined by some uncanny act or another? No, we’re just quite close that’s all.

Taking his hand she forces him out of the room to avoid further conversation and they head back to their friends.
