'I LOVE YOU, BUT'! PART 13 BY OPEYEMI AKINTUNDE

 

"What do you mean? How can you see me in your dreams since we have never met?"Freeman asked after catching his breath.

" Yes, as embarrassing it may sound, I see you in my dreams... I mean like in the past two months, I have seen you and I seated in an office discussing. Sometimes, it would look like we are in a board meeting... and I think in one of the dreams I saw myself giving you money..." Winter said in a rush. She needed him wrapped around her finger.

" Money...I like the sound of that!" Freeman joked

" Seriously... but why would I have that kind of dream?" Winter said

" Well, maybe it could be a pointer for you to invest in my company. My manners, I am Freeman and I run an IT company...." Freeman was saying

" Do you mind if we sit, my heels are killing me..." Winter said laughing...

" Sure..." Freeman said as he looked around hoping to see if there was anyone that looked like his potential investor.

" You came here to meet your girlfriend...How can she stand up a very handsome man like you up...?"

" Oh no.. I am married..."

" Ok..and you don't have a girlfriend?" Winter said teasing

" I.. used..." Freeman was about saying he used to, but he stopped himself...

" I don't have a girlfriend.. I am married with three beautiful daughters"

" Touche...You have it all going for you... I guess not everyone can be as lucky and happy as you are...Lucky you!"

" You are Married..so you should be happy" Freeman said refering to her wedding ring. Although he didn't like the path the conversation was heading, he found himself enjoying the conversation he was having with the woman...

Winter knew this was the time to withdraw from him. She had lured him into her, she could bet he was finding her interesting already. This was the time to make him yearn for more...

" Can we talk about business ...We were already delving into my personal life and that they say is not healthy for business... Isnt that true?" Winter said in a chic manner

" Yes...I am sorry for drifting too..."

" So tell me what you are really into, and how much you want me to invest..I am not bragging but I have got a lot of money. I want to make good use of my husband's money. "

Freeman gave a soft side smile. Today was a good day for him. He was hoping he would meet the initial investor also. That would be a double victory for him. He could recognize money when he saw it. The woman sitting across him at the lounge was MONEY. He did a quick evaluation. Her bag was a designer bag which would cost nothing less than a million Naria...

" It is a limited edition" Winter said

" Huh?" Freeman said

" I saw you staring at my bag... I bought it in London for 6000 pounds. Limited edition. I have been throwing money away recently, so if your business will be a good place to put in money, I am game..." Winter said

" It sure is... My company is into..." Frreman gave his usual 3 minutes speech about the company...

*******

Beauty paced around in the living room. Winter had put her number on speed dial on the phone, but she had been calling her for over 3 hours without any response

" Where on earth is she? Did Freeman's wife find out about Winter? Is Winter Dead? Or Has winter left me to die in this state? Maybe she got tired of me..."

Beauty was beginning to learn how to move around the house in her blind state. She avoided the windows for fear of the sun. The herbalist had told her to avoid the sun for 21 days.

Her eyes!

It seem like it was getting worse as she was seeing darkness than any appearance of light as she had hoped.

*****

Pamilerin wondered why Freeman was taking forever and unlike him, he wasn't picking her calls. Even when he was in a meeting, he would pick up for her to hear the conversation going on in the room.

Her legs were burning. It felt like her legs had been placed on hot coals...

She needed him at that moment.

******

Freeman couldn't believe he sat with this beautiful stranger for three hours discussing. They Spoke about business, politics, Travelling and Football. She was the first woman who spoke about football with so much Passion."

" I need to be on my way!" Freeman eventually said " I wish I didn't have to go, but my wife had a minor domestic accident"

" Oh really? She slipped?"

" Exactly!"

" Is she hospitalized ?"

" No...it's not that serious. She should be on her feet by now. I just have to be at home early. I promised her I would be back early."

" Lucky her!"

" Your husband is lucky to have you too, you are easy to talk with!"

" He is dead!" Winter said maintaining a strong intense look with him

" Oh!" Freeman was taken aback. " Sorry about that!"

" I am healing...so thank you!"

There was a brief moment of silence...

" I hope I didn't end a good time with you on a bad note?" Winter asked

" No...I am ... sorry once again"

" Thank you, but I think luck is shining my way, my Old friend who is also a widower is looking my way and I think we may start something soon." Winter said

Winter almost punched herself. She was good at this game.

" Rule 221 of seducing a married man...Don't present yourself as an available girl, men love to fight for their love interest. They like to prove that they snatched her from someone else." Winter reminded herself...

" Now, my day is once again bright." Freeman said. " I will prepare the proposal and send to your mail.

" Alright...I will be expecting " Winter said.

" Thank you!"

Freeman stood up feeling accomplished. Immediately, his phone beeped. It was an email which read;

" Can we reschedule, stuck in traffic."

" Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish" Freeman muttered under his breath.

Winter smiled as she watched him go... She had sent the mail.

"Winter, give it to Freeman cold, Freeze him to death and take all he has." Winter said to herself as she took the final sip of her white wine.
