Having packed her things in to her bag, Emily heaved the bag on her right shoulder. She walked out of her office and took the elevator to the down floor. On getting in to the reception room, she walked towards a desk and signed out on the signing page in the signing book that was placed on the table. She walked out of the building bading the few staffs around good bye as she made her way out of the building to the company garage where her car and other staff's cars were parked. She walked towards a black porches car and unlocked the door, putting her things on the passenger seat. She shut the door of the passenger seat and got in to the driver's side of the car. On getting in to the car, she breathed in relief. She pulled out her phone and placed a call to Jason, her husband, who is a medical doctor in one of the best hospitals in town.

" Hey babe " She called out in excitement immediately the call was liked.

" Is that the ebony in my own ivory? " Jason praised her in his usual sweet and calm voice on the call. He didn't fail to touch the part of her beauty as he showers her with encomiums.

" The owner of my own heart... "

This has been the system. He hails her anytime he gets the chance to. Both on call, when they were together, alone or with company.

There was a particular day that they went for a friend's home mini party. Anytime he gets the chance, he'll move close to Emily and whisper sweet things in to her ear.

He really did appreciate that Emily is his. And ... Of course ... His alone.

Emily in turn doesn't fail to blush at his words and aknowledge his heartwarming praises too. Most times, she feel so lucky among other women to be able to boast of about Jason being her husband. She is indeed ... Lucky. But, sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder if she was showering him with enough love the same way he does not hesitate to shower praises on her.

Most times, she do feel she hadn't done enough to worth his love.

When ever she remembers how their paths crossed and the circumstances around it, she couldn't help but to be so grateful that their paths really did crossed.

On that fateful day, she had gone to the court to do some things on her affidavit to validate her bvn as she was having issues with her bank.

On getting to the court, she made her way to the Registrar. She made some inquiries and she was told what to do and was asked to wait to maintain order. While patiently waiting to be answered, her eyes roamed about. She sighted the court room. There seem to be a case on as people were in the court room.

Her gaze landed on a scene outside where a man who she later found his name to be Jason, and another man who was dressed in white and black. The both of them stepping out of a black Kia car. They both made their way towards the reception and as they came in, her eyes was quick enough to run through Jason's body. He has the masculine body she liked.

Even though, she tried to remove her gaze, she found it difficult to do that as she was lost in his curves already.

Whatever happened at that moment, they both do not know, but their eyes ran in to each other's and locked for a moment.

Getting a hold on herself, she quickly looked elsewhere and removed her gaze from this man's body. Jason did the same too.

Jason and the other man dressed in black and white both mad etheir way towards and office that has the JUDGE tag on it. Getting to the office, they both stepped in.

Slightly embarassed about what had happened earlier, Emily found herself lost, imagining what such a body like Jason's will feel like. She was thinking dirty and was lost in her own pool thought when the man with Jason, who was putting on black and white cloth earlier emerge from the office they both went into all kitted up in the legal suit made for the judges. Immediately, two policemen fell in behind him and followed him. One knocked the entery door before the man entered to signify the presence of the Judge and immediately, the silence in the court room became thicker. They went in.

Emily was taking note of the events while she waited patiently to be called upon to do what she was at the court to do.

Few minutes later, she was joined on the sofa she was sitting on with a company who turned out to be Jason.

He sat beside her and Emily couldn't help but Mabel at his physyc as she checked him out briefly.

He smelled his manly cologne and half closed her eyes unconsciously as she did that.

He had that manly scent that every lady would love their man to have.

They said hi to each other and they did minded their business as Emily tried hard not to stare at the body in front of her. She loved the body and strangely, she started imagining what sex would feel like with that kind of a guy.

Not because she was flirtious, but because of something she still found it difficult to understand.

But .. who really knew that a chemistry was taking place between them? If they knew or realize in time, you would agree with me that they would have started their relationship right away.

What the both of them do not know is that they had the same thought running in their mind. They have both fallen for each other. More like... Love at first sight.

But somehow, they both knew that they were attracted to the other but do not know what's in the mind of the other person.

As they say on that sofa in the reception room, both silent, in a silent area, Emily couldn't help but to think if she was actually hearing her thoughts. She felt as though, her thought is being repeated by a voice but really couldn't decipher.

Trying to avoid any unsolicited thoughts, she really was trying to avoid what she was thinking if possible because; First off, this man was a complete stranger. A total stranger at that.

And, second, she isn't thinking of getting into any relationship as at that time as she'd just gotten out of a very toxic one.

Jason on the other had hadn't been lucky in his relationships. He's still searching for the one for him.

Soon, Jason stood up and walked towards the office he had came out from to receive a call.

After his call, he came back to his seat and exclaimed in a low voice;

" Women ehn ...? What do women really want? Today, this, tomorrow, that. Hah"

That marked the beginning of their discussion.
