Written by Amah
Viva dressed up s£dûçt!velyand spre-ad a fine cologne all over herself before leaving to Betty’s house, she knew that Betty had driven out to her supermarket and Tony was home alone, Betty had mentioned to her that Tony was starting his three weeks leave that day, it was a perfect time to carry out her plan…she rang the door bell for the second time and the door swanked open
“hello…Tony…ooh ha-rd ly meet you at home by this time of the day…I thought it was Betty…what of Betty…?
“how are you doing today..Viva, just want to take rest for some weeks, yea…I’m on leave…ooh Betty has gone out to her shop…how’s Richa-rd and your boy…?
“I’m doing great…, leave …that’s good…rest is very necessary…I was almost thinking you are a workaholic…because you are always going off and coming in late… at least your leave is up to a month which is enough time to relax, you will also have time for your family aside the weekend thing, Richa-rd is fine but he travelled…and my son is good also…
“yeah…good to hear …and by the way that is a nice cologne you are wearing…it smells good…
“thanks…I bought it when I travelled to Canada…is one of my best so far…it last long like very very long… a week or even a month…have not seen any perfume like it probably because I attached so much s£ntiment to it…hahahaha..don’t mind me…when we women love a p@rticular thing is ha-rd to let it go…like when Betty told me how much she love the n£¢klace you bought for her which went missing I totally un-derstood the angle she is coming from…is an in built thing in women…is only few men that un-derstand their wives nee-ds and want…like Richa-rd he does not always un-derstand me…
Tony stood at the door watching Viva talk and talk all he could do was to smile waiting for her to st©p talking so that he can go back inside…it will be too rude to quic-kly dismiss her when she’s still enjoying her talk…so Tony patiently waited…while nodding and pretending to un-derstand everything Viva was saying…while still at the door, he can’t ask her in because his wife is not home and he doesn’t have time for a woman’s chatter, he was alre-ady getting impatient as Viva talks on and on without st©pping.
….i know all men are not the same…you are really doing a great work by un-derstanding your wife Betty…even if she doesn’t always say it but I see all the things you do for her and funny enough I usually use you as an example to Richa-rd whenever we have misun-derstanding…I just want him to step up his game as a man…you know women like men who are so ro-mantic…and Richa-rd …hahahaha…is really funny to say that Richa-rd is not ro-mantic at all…but he is improving though despite sometime he try too ha-rd and you will see that he wasn’t born to be ro-mantic…there is a difference between when you f0rç£ yourself to do something and when something comes natural …Richa-rd f0rç£ himself to be ro-mantic but watching you and Betty it comes natural for you…Betty ha-rd ly mention it though…but I see it anytime I come around…and I commend you for your effort…wish Richa-rd will learn from yo…
Tony was alre-ady tired with the long talk and he has no choice than to cut her shut…
“Thank you Viva…I will let Betty know you st©pped by…alright…later
Viva saw that Tony was dismissing her as he took one foot backward inside, if she doesn’t act fast he will jam the door to her face and go inside, but she will not let that to happen…
“ I also nee-d your help…plea-se don’t say no..i could have come throu-gh Betty but since she is not around I really nee-d you to help me with something…if not that Richa-rd has travelled he would have done it…
“okay…what is it?
“is my room bulb lamp holder…the bulb is not coming up and I have tried to change the bulb but to no avail…plea-se can you help me…be your neighbours keeper…hahahaha…don’t mind me I just love laughing…plea-se…can you help?
Tony looked at Viva full face and the way she pleaded…he could have called an electrician to come help her check it but looking at her she wants him to come and do it…but he doesn’t really have much idea about a electrical work so he decided to ask her if he can call his electrician who lives a stone throw to come check the lamp holder for her
“aaah…no Tony if I nee-d electrician I would have called one myself…I don’t nee-d a stranger coming in and out of my room…it makes me uncomfortable…if you want me to call Betty first then I will call her…so that she can approve…I guess you nee-d her cons£nt to do that…we are all neighbours…c’mon help me come check it…except you don’t want to help me at all…
“no..no…okay..i will come check it when I’m done with what I’m doing…hope that is okay…
“alright…I will be waiting then…thanks
Tony went back in and locked the door while Viva went back to her ap@rtment…she dressed the whole place and wore her bu-m sh0t, she re-moved the bulb from the lamp holder and cut the wire that is connected to the bulb that will make it work, she did everything possible so that Tony will find it ha-rd to fix it, in that way he will spend time with her as she has always wanted, as she was finishing up she heard the door bell and ran to open the door, Tony c@m£ in with his scre-wdriver and some other home tools to check what the problem could be, Viva walked in his front with her bu-m sh0t and tan t©p as she led him to her room, as Tony got there she showed him the lampholder that got spoilt, Tony started checking the wire and every other thing and found out the wire was cut off, it never occurs to him that it was Viva’s handwork,…he mentioned it to Viva
“The wire is bad and it nee-ds to be changed…can you manage with the other room light until Richa-rd comes back from his travel…or I call my electrician because I don’t know how to do the connection…
“no…no I can’t manage… I will be so scared at night if it is not fixed…is there no other way we can fix it…I can’t wait for Richa-rd he will take time before he comes back…like a month or weeks and that’s too long, and as for the electrician…I told you I’m not comfortable with a stranger in my room alone with me…except you will have to come with him…plea-se..
“okay…I will call an electrician but Betty will come with him…I know you will be more comfortable if my wife comes around…you will be more comfortable with her than with me… I will tell Betty once she comes back to come over and see you and I will call the electrician to come fix it…if not you can stay in another room till when Richa-rd comes…at least you have a spare room here…but if you can’t then Betty will come stay with you for the period while the man fix the light…you will love Betty’s company more…but there’s nothing to be scared off, the security here is ti-ght..
“oookkkaaay… I can’t sleep in another room aside mine…and you know Betty Is a woman like me…in fact I’m more bold than Betty, Betty is fragile…you know her more than i…I just nee-ded a man figure around…you watch what happened everyday on the television, when a man see’s women they seem to take advantage…what if he decided to do something else instead of fixing the light he c@m£ to fix…and he decides to take advantage of two helpless women… me I’m safety conscious… Richa-rd is not around he would have fixed this…
“you don’t nee-d to worry Viva, the person I’m s£nding is not that kind of man…my electrician can be trusted…but if you are still not comfortable then I will just come with Betty…both of our pres£nce will sure make you comfortable…
“hmmm..okay o…this one you want to come to my house with Betty just because of a lamp holder…you two are going to be my august visitors…hahahaha…it seems you are scared of coming alone or you can’t possibly do something without Betty’s approval…c’mon be a man… don’t take offence to that…but I can’t be begging you like this just to stay around because I know if is Richa-rd he will safeguard your home while you are away…I see no crime to my little request Tony…all I nee-d is your pres£nce…it won’t take long and the work is done…then you can return to Betty…I know that Betty will not mind…
“I’m not scared Viva…and all I want is for you to be alright while Richa-rd is away…no problem I will come with the electrician tonight…
Tony left, he didn’t want to be alone with Viva who was looking all se-duc-tive…and same time he definitely didn’t want to turn her down because of fear of having a negative thought for another man’s wife, he flashed back again to how Viva was looking that evening, she was very pretty, and has curves, if she walks alone on the road she will be mistaken for a single sister who have never giving birth before, she was very beautiful and tempting, staying alone in same room with her is not right…he is a married man and no matter how beautiful she is she is a married woman and he has to respect that fact, and he respect both Betty’s pres£nce and abs£nce and will never do anything that will hurt her, he loves his wife dearly, he doesn’t notice any other woman once he is with Betty, Betty is all that matters to him nothing else, he has to tell Betty first before going to Viva’s house,
Viva saw that Tony was trying all means to resist her just because he want to remain royal to his wife, he un-derstand he loves his wife and it will be difficult at first to get him to her side but she will keep trying until she succeed, Tony was rich and good looking too, and he is the type that give in everything when he loves, she will definitely find a way to lure him out of his comfort zone, it may not be today but she will never st©p trying
Tony later c@m£ back that night with an electrician as he promised Viva, he stood while the electrician fixed the lamp holder, Viva urged Tony to take a seat with her but he told her that he was alright standing, he stood close to the electrician and avoided looking at Viva who was still on the bu-m sh0t she was putting on and a tan t©p earlier which expo-sed all her l@ps and some cleavage, she walked pas-sed Tony severally but Tony’s mind was on how to get back to be-d with Betty who was getting the children re-ady for be-d before he c@m£ down to Viva’s house, after the electrician was done, he looked at Viva fully as Viva spoke with Tony, Viva met his eyes and he looked away,
“Tony…you see why I didn’t want an electrician here…can you see the way he is looking at me…this people makes me uncomfortable…I know exactly what I was saying before I asked you to come with him…talking about my dressing…this is the way I dress. Either when Richa-rd is around or not…I feel comfortable this way…I can’t go covering up just because of someb©dy doesn’t feel comfortable with me…I like being free whenever I’m in my house…and this is my person right from time… I don’t like the way your electrician looked at me…doesn’t he know I’m a married woman…he insult me with his looks
The electrician quic-kly apologised…
“My apologise madam…it was just a look I didn’t mean it as an insult…
Tony also apologised to Viva before leaving with the electrician, when they were out of hearing the electrician said..
“so she is married…I never knew…her dressing was too raw…and she is beautiful and fresh too…but that her dressing is just out of this world…I tried to look away though but I couldn’t
“she is a married woman and you have to respect that fact, when next you are contacted…just go do your work and leave…either married or single treat them alike…women don’t like being uncomfortable around the men folks…don’t let your attitude towards them s£nd a negative message…
Tony later went back to Betty, who was alre-ady in be-d waiting for him, she asked him if they were able to fix the light for Viva and he replied her, as he held his wife in be-d…he flashed back to Viva again and her s£dûçt!veattitude, he waved it off, he must be crazy to be thinking of Viva while in be-d with his wife, as he k!$$£d his wife that night he totally forgot everything about Viva,
Viva knew her s£dûçt!vecharm was almost taking effect, even a common electrician fell for the charm but Tony refused to fall, she will step up her game, and try ha-rder next time, she may probably succeed, she is not giving up yet… Tony is a big fish and she wouldn’t want to miss her chance…he may probably end up being hers instead of to a naive Betty…
To be continued…
Question: Do you think Viva will succeed in her plans? Did Tony handle the issue wisely?
