LOLA!!!

Hi!! it sounded so soft and sweet, her voice. Like a soldier called by his superior officer i turned to see this dame with the cutest smile i had seen in a life that was 21 and running.

Hi! was my response, with no idea what word(s) would come through my shaking lips at a time when the best would be required to hold up a conversation of any sort with her. Looking into those eyes of hers that burnt holes through mine all the way down to my spine, i saw beauty unmatched by the tales of Cindarella and Snow White. It took forever for my eyes to get a grip with her lips and what they let through as she began to initiate another round of lines in what seemed to be a moment of being struck by the unexpected magic of her presence.

"Do you mind getting me a drink"? It couldnt have been better, her request, cos it did seem like i was going to get some time with her. All sorts of scenarios played up in my distorted mind, and its was the most realistic that got a vote of confidence, just walk through this easy and see where it gets you with her tonight.

"Sure you won't mind a Chapman"? Yes she said, as she gracefully made a swirl of her head like one of those hair product ads on t.v revealing the well treated long hair she had. In the shortest time possible the bar tender had the drink in my hands and i gave him a look to disapprove of any other spectacular service that would draw her attention to this good looking dude behind the counter. What would you do, if you were in my seat, cos i had lost feelings in my shoes, so it seems you could not get into my shoes at this time.

"I like the calmness i'v seen you definitely possess", she said this with some sort of confidence that could only come with an intense and long observation, that i guess came from the other end of the bar where the light was dim and made good for spoting a cheating wife in the aplomb of her flirty moment in the arms of a foolish lover. "Thanks". Another one liner at this time when the most accurate response would require a lot more words to strike the right chord.

It didnt take long for my first punch line to come through, "You have the most enchanting eyes i'v set mine on". A smile to pass approval was displayed on that cute face of hers and a confident response, "I know, cos i own them". " My names Lola and i guess you have one too"? "Uche, Uche Ugorji" Thanks to
the Ian Flemming inspired James Bond movies i had watched over time, i suddenly had this confidence that the toothpaste ads continue to tell us we would have when we apply them to brush all kinds of teeth. "I am going straight to the point. I have had the worst month of my life and all sorts of things have happened to me in the period." "I caught my boyfriend cheating on me twice, i came back from the most intense training workshop my employers sent me on yet and i made money i can not think of spending in 10 years, would you indulge me by giving me a nice time out tonight and maybe you'll get sex and the most intricate details of my life".

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!! Oh my God! Who in this world would wake me up at this time? It just hit me, it was just a dream! The voice that accompanied the knock on the door was unmistakablely that of my little cousin. "What is it i barked"? Still unsure why she would put an end to the this dream of dreams on a warm afternoon. "Uncle, its the gateman, he said the new neighbour would like to get to know you. Uncle she is pretty and i like her". Was she suggesting approval of this person from out of the blues without recourse to the fact that she had disapproved of three of the last women i came home with!? In amazement i raced her down to the living room downstairs and lo and behold those eyes!!!

"Hello, my name is Lola.............."
