"Not a problem”, she says, patting my thigh and leaving it there for a few seconds and some..
"Try and make sure u come, I’ll be looking forward to seeing u”
"Definitely,.. I'll definitely come” I said, feeling her warm hand through my trouser fabric..
Hopped out and walked away, while trying hard to remember a famous song by Fela..
You know the one, don't you..? The one where a cat sleeps and a mouse nibbles on it's tail..
