(Chioma smiled brightly, as he hu-gs her….they broke the hu-g and he stares at her li-ps…which has been enticing him ever since she stepped into the office. She felt a bit uneasy at his stare, until he broke the silence)

Big Prof: I know you might not be expecting the now…but I just have to do it (he rushed his words)
Chioma: Wha….(She almost said, when he slams his li-ps on hers, suc-king the ju-icy part opf her li-ps. She reciprocated, and flowed in the rhythm of the ki-ss…nibbling on his lower li-ps, while he went for the other, trying to gain access of which she gave. They ki-ssed with pas-sion and broke it, trying to catch their breath. He smiled softly, and caress her cheek, before taking his former position)

(Outside the door stood Baby Sussi, who has been listening to their conversation all along, and caught a glimpse of their makeout, throu-gha small hole on the door of the office. She couldn’t believe all that she had heard)
