Adapt condition and perspire(5)
She is already in contact and holding series of
discussion with her colleague about her new plan, they gave their opinion and
advise her to invite Elliot and let him know about her new initiatives, she
keeps her head up and linger on her thought for Elliot reaction, he does like
the idea when she discusses with him, he obviously knew Yalid is trying to keep
her business but for obvious reason only known to him he urges her to hand all
of her plan to her other colleague to handle the operational activities of her
new initiative; having a mischievous character in the past his aware what this
new artiste are capable of doing he cannot afford to let one talented young
chap to swoon over his last hope ‘that will not be a wise thing to do I know my
team, they can handle the programme, I am the head of the team I have to be
there for the plan to succeed’ Yalid express ‘yes you are the team leader but
now I need you we are like two love bird that need to spend more time
together…’ ‘Oh wait wait what are you trying say with this love bird thing’ she
is puzzled with Elliot affectionate tone ‘surely you are not in any relationship
with any man and neither am I dating any lady, this is the perfect time to know
if we are emotionally compatible’ Elliot continues to clatter his thought
together still trying to convince Yalid about his emotional attraction to her
‘hmm you are really a work of art, and a strange way for relationship advances for
a long time I’ve not had any intimacy with a man I guess I’ll give you a trial…
and she tickle Elliot… let me just satisfy my uncontrollable feelings towards
you then I’ll know where it will lead me’ when it comes down to intimate
attraction Yalid is way ahead of Elliot, being older than her does not mean he
has vast experience in relationship usually girls in their late teens years have
sexual urge more than adult that’s probably why she had her first child when
was eighteen. Elliot on the other hand is trying to play his card right he
knows it will not be easy to entice her so he boldly slept in her apartment for
the night, not just in her apartment but in the same bedroom with her Yalid was
also at this point feeling the emotions, she is definitely attracted to him
though she was surprise throughout the night Elliot did not touch her,
considering the kind of ladies he has been with he really does not have
knowledge how a decent girl like her would react on his attempt to cuddle her,
he just lay down like a pack of cards and slept off. In the morning Sunday
morning to be precise she usually trot around the neighbourhood he was more
than happy to join the routine exercise perhaps the last time he went out for a
jog must be during his youth service corps, he was exited to watch her trot in
front of him while he keeps checking her out, being naughty sometimes can work
in your favour he watches how she just perspire from the back of her head down
to her waist, that’s when he notice the real beauty in her without thinking
twice he grab her ‘oh you are the real hot stuff right now’ she was shocked,
why he had to cuddle her on the street she is confuse about Elliot does he not
have any shame trying to get in the mood right in the public eye what’s there
not to like about Elliot just like him, his her only hope she really like him
no choice but to play along and hop on him, Elliot on his own volition stop the
romance when he notice the few on the road having a glance at them, while they
are back at home Elliot is trying to chip in ifey’s case but Yalid was already
in the mood she hop on him again ‘oh you are a vampire out there, just grab me
again yes I like it’ when the sex romp is going on Elliot still mumble his
mouth to raise ifey’s situation ‘ I have to tell you something about ifey’ ‘hmm
don’t say anything baby’ common ify is important to us, we have to give him
some money for his upkeep’ hmmm yeah yeah I hear you’ who invented this kiss
thing anyway sometime is disgusting Elliot don’t know if she really listen to
what he just said, he cannot let go the pleasure of having his first real
intimacy with her, Yalid hadn’t engage in intimate intercourse for some years
she just want to enjoy the moment for now, every other thing will be discuss
later. Whenever the love birds sees each other they feel they are back in their
teenage years even almost losing concentration on their respective work most
often their colleague remind them of their next task or schedule because when
the two are together what they felt is love and not their work, for their
colleagues they have to deliver on their work, next time the group meet they
will have to discuss or present their respective work to the group, this
suggestion sends spine down to Elliot bone he knows is time to come up with
another creative single and that means he must be in his creative mood
different artiste have their own way of creating a space for their creative
concept some went weird and wild to be creative others indulge in moral
conversation or just visit a club some like Elliot just read and meditate for
his brain to remain active, at this point coming out with good couple of single
will be difficult ify and his cohort are not nearby he need something to
inspire him Jasmine has gone for another rendezvous mirage for ify he gathered
the money Elliot and Yalid owed him and head to the village his in a joyous
mood he met his gorgeous wife hale and hearty as for his friend Bassey he looks
and seems to be struggling as ify notice something is not right his not in his
usual happy go Bassey tone it turns out the drought that happens to ify’s
plantation farm has spread to his own farm this situation now convince ify that
his life is not doom in the village, what he was able to garner in the city if
well utilise can take care of his wellbeing without putting into consideration
the multiplier effect the village lifestyle is simply simple not extravagant
like the city however going to the city have been an eye opener for him the
idea of setting up a cyber café in the village is the huge task he try to
accomplish, this now left Elliot to be more proactive and produce his track all
alone he quickly let go the idea of meeting Yalid for some seductive chat he
just have to dash into his creative mode all alone in twinkling of an eye bang
he was fortunate to come up with something from nothing it might not be a hit
or masterpiece effort like his previous ones producing classic hit is not easy
to produce in this generation he assure himself is good enough Yalid and the
rest of the group must listen to the record to give their opinion this might
not be the right time to listen to what Elliot have to say she have her own
task to complete the dancing group doesn’t seem to have their groove on, she
notice several errors in their move this is the type of scenario she needs ify’s
instruction there was a sigh of relief for her when Elliot came to drop his
record ‘hi Yalid I need you to listen to this record and let me know what you
think’ ‘oh sure I definitely will hear it out, but I need your help with the
dancing crew their synchronization is way below the standard I expect I don’t
know maybe there is any way you can help me out’ she suggest ‘I saw some couple
of dance videos when I went to the cyber café but they are village dance steps’
he remark ‘for now any kind of steps will be fine I just need their performance
to be a little bit above average’ she declare Anybody in her situation will
also settle for less with the limited time she have to work with, it turns out
the village dance steps was not bad their dance is unique Yalid knew
international audience have not seen such steps yet she put in more effort to
bring out the best in them, the dancer on their part did not disappoint during
the show their synergy and synchronization was mesmerizing Elliot also peep
backstage to see the new move Yalid talked about, the crowd love their exceptional
movement this makes Elliot have butterflies in his belly; will the crowd like
his new singles the thing about music it’s the consistency the artiste have to
be consistent if you’ve release several hit single the audience and crowd will still
appreciate what you have left and if you want to remain relevant you have to
step up
‘yeah yeah people I am back!! Much love and respect to
everyone that come here tonight to witness what I’m about to drop next, just
like my last show I’m dropping two singles tonight I hope everyone will like
the track yeah let’s go
