It was too late when | realized that | didn't get him to pay, not before | made his drink and not after. | was just
about to yell after him when my eyes snagged on the bar top where he had been. The face of Benjamin Franklin
stared up at me, that man had givena hundred dollar bill. His drinks cost thirty-five which leftwith Sixty
five dollars in tips. Shit, | scanned the crowd after him and he was nowhere to be seen. My hand still tingles from
where he had touched. At five in the morning, I finally locked up and my legs were killing me. My stomach
complained about the too small meal | had several hours ago. It had taken forever to get the customers out,
count the money and turn off the lights. But when | stepped out of the building, | breat breathed a little
easier.
Money was tight, being a university student living off campus in Asaba but this job helped considerably. The tips
were great as were also the paycheck | got every other week when | worked. "Do you wantto wait with you
at the bus stop?" Weldon, my manager asked as soon as we got outside.
My pride wanted to say no, | didn't need anyone to watch over me. | can handle myself but this was in the
middle of the city and | would admit, | was scared of being on my own at this hour. "Won't it be much of a
problem for you?" | asked but | knew he would say no like he always did.
"Of course not, con." He began walking towards my bus stop which he did every twe closed up
together.
Weldon was a couple of years older than me, he was probably considered attractive with his carefully styled hair,
perfectly plucked eyebrows and an athletic looking body. Still, I could never see him like that. For me, he is my
boss and only that which made it even more awkward when | knew he didn't seeas just an employee. His
discreet way of hitting onhappened far too

"When is school resuming?" He tried to do small talks but damn it, | had just finished an eight hour shift with
noisy people and loud music, | craved speace and quiet.

Truth to be told, | couldn't wait to begin, | would start my last year of my bachelor's degree in Business
Administration and it was my one true dream. | loved everything about it and couldn't wait until | finally got my
degrees.
"Oh, he sounded disappointed and seeing the question in my eyes he elaborated.
| probably won't see you as much, | mean, you will be busy with should and... he trailed off, staring out into the
distance and his brows knitted together. 60
"I will still work every other weekend." | tried to comfort him and it felt weird doing it.
We weren't close, not at all but it seems he thought we were closer than | considered us to be. The bus saved me
for any more awkward talks.
"Well. this is me, thanks for watching out for me." | made sure to keep distance between us especially when |
saw he wanted to move to givea hug. | probably should start saying no to him when he asks to followto
my bus stop. It was sending the wrong message. Right," he rubbed his neck. "See you in in two weeks." "Yes," |
mumbled, giving him a little wave as | stepped into the bus.

| really needed to stop having him wait with me, he was starting to get more awkward each tit happened. My
apartment was small and crappy, there was a hole in the ceiling where it leaked water and | needed to have a
bucket underneath to collect the drops each twas raining. My living room was also my bedroom and dining
room, it was also my kitchen since | don't have a divider between the rooms, a tiny bathroom with just enough
space to brush my teeth in between the toilet and shower. To say the apartment was cramped was an
understatement but it was mine and | was happy about it. It could have been worse, | could have lived with
people | don't like or | could have a roommate who tried to poisonby spraying something in my food while |
wasn't around. Sounded crazy as hell and improbable but | have heard it happens before to someone else. | need
my own space, no matter how small and terrible it is.
Locking up the door, | dragged myself in and threw my thin jacket on the hanger attached to the door..I had no
energy and had to fight to keep my eyes open. How am | going to manage to work this late every other weekend
while going to school?
| started working at De Iceberg when summer break started and it had been great. But with school starting again
and possible internship, | just didn't know how I could do it all. The thing was, |

Just one year left and | would graduate with a bachelor's degree and therr | would sort out my shit and get
myself in order. Maybe | will get a master degree later but that was definitely down the line. For now, | wanted
sreal working experience in my chosen field. Pushing the thoughts out of my mind, | didn't need to stress

| had served at the bar. It was like the man had been made ate, my mind returned to the man purely for sex, the
way he held himself and talked with an authority few-had and a sensuality only those who knew how to handle
themselves in bed had. He would know where my clit was at least unlike most of my other hookups, | am sure
about it.
Here | was, tired as hell, fantasizing about a man | probably wouldn't see again. Asaba was full of handsome
men, | saw quite a few every day but there was something different about this man, I just couldn't put my finger
on precisely what.

night | walked into that bdsm club and tried as | might but I couldn't extinguish it. Tomorrow, | promised myself
that | would try to find another club | would visit. The one that | won't be that expense and | would be able to
