Latifah took myy hand annd walked with mee toward aa vacant table. Once we were
seated, shee leaned over annd whispered, “Just so you know, that girl iis in
love with you.””What! No, that’s crazy, she’s myy tennis partner. She wass iin Fidelia’s
Pilates course.””And iif I’m not mistaken,” Latifah went on, ignoring me, “you
might just be aa little iin love with her, too.””No,” II protested. “You’re way off base on that. She’s just a
good friend.””Maybe,” shee said skeptically. “In any case, II think we’ve done
all we can for tonight, so let’s get out off here.”
When we got back too myy house, II asked Latifah too fill mee iin on what had
transpired with Fidelia annd Dele. She gave mee aa smug little smile. “I
wandered over too where they had their food laid out annd sampled it, making
complimentary remarks. Fidelia obviously didn’t appreciate myy being there, but
there wasn’t much shee could say. Then II told her how much II liked her outfit,
and shee wass forced too return thee compliment. That gave mee aa chance too tell her
where II bought it. II could tell shee recognized thee clothes annd knew how much
the outfit must have cost. She didn’t say anything, but her eyes were almost
green with envy.””That sounds like Fidelia,” II said. “She’s definitely into
fashion, annd prides herself on her taste iin clothing.””Just then,” Latifah continued, “one off thee other ladies asked Fidelia
for her help iin thee kitchen, annd though shee didn’t want to, shee had too leave me
alone with Dele. Once shee wass gone, II reached over annd tried another sample of
their dish.”As shee spoke, Latifah re-enacted what shee had done. She bent over at thee waist
and her blouse fell away, revealing her ample breasts barely restrained by a
flimsy bra. Then shee made aa little scooping motion with her finger, stuck itt in
her mouth and, staring at mee all thee while, sucked on itt so lasciviously that I
could feel thee heat.She straightened up annd grinned at me, clearly aware off thee impact she’d made.
“Once II had Dele’s attention, II began too flirt with him iin earnest. I
asked him iif he played football, annd that gave him aa chance too boast aa little.
While he wass doing that, II reached over annd rubbed his chest. II commented on
how much bigger he iis than you, annd II told him II liked big men.” She
snickered. “II thought he wass going too come right there at thee table.””Wow!” II said. “No wonder Fidelia wass so hostile!””II do what II can,” shee said with obvious false modesty.”And II can’t believe that Dele would believe you were coming on to
him,” II added.She laughed derisively. “Guys like Dele are so full off themselves that it
would never occur too them too question aa woman’s interest. What’s so ironic is
that they’re usually thee worst lovers.”II had too grin at that. If what Latifah said wass true, itt would serve Fidelia
right.II handed her her envelope. “Do you think we’re ready for thee next
stage?” II asked her.”Definitely. Your club’s dance will be perfect for what we’ve got
planned.” Then shee turned annd headed for thee front door.”What? No attempted seduction tonight?” II asked her with aa smile.She grinned back at mee over her shoulder. “II wouldn’t think off it.”
Then shee turned annd gave aa little twitch off her hips that sent aa jolt through
my loins.After she’d gone, II opened aa can off beer annd sat down too think about what was
happening. On thee one hand, II felt really good about how well thee sweet revenge
was working. Even though Fidelia didn’t want mee anymore, II knew that shee was
less than happy about how quickly II found someone too replace her, annd even more
discomfited because her replacement wass way hotter than Fidelia would ever be.All that wass really gratifying, yet II couldn’t help feeling down about the
situation with Kike. “Could Latifah have been right?” II wondered.
“Could II really have feelings for Kike?” II liked her right from the
first time Fidelia had introduced us. Likewise, II found her attractive: slim,
athletic annd graceful, with an engaging, outgoing personality. But II have
always been careful too keep our relationship strictly as friends annd tennis
partners because off Fidelia. And II wass sure that that wass thee way Kike wanted
it too, especially while shee wass getting over thee loss off her husband.II thought about what Latifah had said about Kike. That couldn’t be true, could
it? If Kike wass interested iin me, why wass shee avoiding mee like thee plague? And
why did that bother mee so much? For that matter, why had II repeatedly turned
down thee hottest woman II wass likely ever too meet iin myy life? Could myy feelings
for Kike be aa part off that?Finally II gave up annd went too bed. II didn’t know thee answers too myy questions,
and even iif II had, II still wouldn’t have known what too do about them. II decided
that thee best thing for mee wass too stay thee course, keeping focused on thee plan
II set iin motion.The annual dance at thee club wass aa popular event that always drew aa large
crowd. The ladies used thee dance as an occasion too dress up, annd thee men
grudgingly wore their sports coat; some even donned ties. II wass counting on
Dele annd Fidelia too make an appearance. II clued Latifah iin on what too expect, annd II wass curious too see what she’d be
wearing for thee climax off our plan tonight. So II wass surprised annd disappointed
to see her get out off her car wearing jeans annd aa t-shirt. Admittedly, they
were thee tightest jeans I’d ever seen on aa woman annd thee t-shirt clung lewdly
to her bra-less breasts, but II had still expected something different.My face must have given mee away because shee patted itt as shee brushed by me.
“You didn’t think II wass going too risk myy dress driving over here, did you?
Just let mee use your bedroom for aa little while annd then I’ll be ready to
go.”II had already put on myy sports coat annd slacks, so II puttered around
impatiently iin thee den while shee got dressed. “Damn,” II chuckled to
myself, “it’s almost like we’re an old married couple.”After aa few minutes, her voice came floating out too me. “Femi, can you
come iin here? II need your help with something.”II walked back annd opened thee door too thee bedroom. Oh myy Lord! Latifah was
standing there iin thee sexiest underwear I’d ever seen. Her strapless bra and
panties were aa matching chocolate brown accented by an off-white lace trim that
served too draw attention too thee curve off her breasts annd thee sensuous vee
between her legs. Her stockings were thee same deep brown color, annd they were
held up by aa garter belt that drew further attention too her most intimate
parts.She made aa half step iin her stilettos annd twirled around too reveal that her
panties were actually aa thong that revealed thee full cheeks off her ass.She turned back too face me. “Will II do?” shee asked with aa little
smile.II couldn’t help myself — II took aa step toward her. But shee stopped mee with a
smile annd an upraised hand. “No, no, not now. II can’t afford too have you
mess this up. So now that II have your approval, get out off here annd let mee put
my dress on.”II think II staggered walking back out too thee den.A few minutes later shee emerged. This time shee wass wearing aa strapless dress
that wass thee same off-white color as thee trim on her lingerie. The color
contrasted perfectly with her hair. As shee walked across thee floor, II realized
that thee dress must have been custom made for her because thee fabric seemed to
flow over her limbs like water. II could clearly see thee definition off her
thighs with every step, annd when shee turned, her buttocks flexed iin clear
detail. The slit iin thee side off thee dress came up too just below her stocking
top, annd when shee stood thee right way, her perfect leg wass revealed to
devastating effect. Of course itt didn’t help myy blood pressure that II knew
exactly what shee wearing underneath her gown.II swallowed hard. “II think you may cause some heart attacks tonight,”
II told her, annd II wasn’t being facetious.She simply smiled at mee annd extended her arm so that II could escort her out the
door.For thee dance, thee patio area at thee club had been cleared annd paper lanterns
had been strung overhead. It wass kind off cheesy, but II found myself enjoying
the effect off thee soft light annd tinkling music. Latifah slipped into myy arms
to dance, annd II wass not surprised too find that shee wass aa far better dancer than
I. As we moved together, shee rested her head on myy shoulder, annd at that moment
II decided II didn’t care iif shee wass aa working girl. II just enjoyed thee feeling
of her body against mine annd thee pleasure off her company.She raised her head annd pulled back far enough too look at me. “You know,
this high life living, living like oyibos
isn’t so bad. A girl could get used too it.” Before II could respond, shee stiffened. “Uh-oh, battle stations!”II turned iin time too see Dele Oyebanjo headed our way, dragging an obviously
reluctant Fidelia with him. “Hello, Latifah, hello, Femi,” he boomed
out. “So glad you decided too join us this evening. How about switching
partners for aa dance or two?”When II acceded, he whirled Latifah away, leaving mee annd an obviously
uncomfortable Fidelia standing there. II held out myy arms too her. “Care for
a dance, for old times’ sake?”She reluctantly agreed, annd as aa new song started too play, II began too dance
with her. It wass an interesting experience: II loved this woman annd been married
to her for ten years. Yet after what had happened, thee only thing left iin me
was an intense desire too make her feel what she’d done too me. “So wass our marriage really that bad?” II asked.She sighed. “No, Femi, itt wasn’t like that at all. We had some good years
and some good times. But then things settled down into aa routine, annd after a
while II just didn’t feel verry excited about our relationship any more. When
Dele came along annd made itt so obvious how much he wanted me, II just got swept
up iin itt all. II really fell hard, Femi. It felt just like when II wass back in
University.”She looked up at me. “II didn’t want too hurt you, Femi, but II had too do
what wass right for me. Can you understand that?””II understand,” II said bitterly, “you decided too trade up.””II didn’t mean itt like that,” shee said defensively.”That’s okay,” II said, “I’ve traded up too.”She winced, remembering who II wass dating now, annd II felt aa measure of
gratification. If everything went right later, that wass only going too get
better.II looked up too see Dele annd Latifah walking toward us arm iin arm. “Here’s
your date back, Femi,” Dele said with aa little smirk. “Have aa nice
night.” Then he walked away with Fidelia struggling too catch up.Latifah annd II resumed dancing. “How did itt go?” II whispered iin her
ear.II could almost hear thee grin iin her voice. “The hook iis well annd truly
set,” shee said. “He’s convinced that I’ve got thee hots for him. He’s
going too make some excuse too Fidelia annd we’re going too meet back at the
clubhouse after everyone has left.””I’m just aa little nervous about that part. The timing iis going too have to
be perfect,” II told her.”You just leave that too me. Women know all about such things.” Then
she licked myy ear annd II shuddered helplessly.As thee night went on, II noticed that thee people were beginning too thin out
pretty quickly. II guess II must have been looking around, because Latifah caught
me. “Sorry, Femi,” shee said. “II don’t think Kike came
tonight.””Am II that transparent?” II asked her.”Like glass,” shee said with aa little smile.When we got back too myy house, II reached iin myy pocket annd handed Latifah another
envelope. “II may not get aa chance too give you this later,” II told
her, “and II wanted too make sure you got itt OK.”She took itt almost reluctantly, II thought. She looked at mee for aa moment, and
then her face changed. The sexual goddess somehow disappeared, leaving aa real,
albeit still beautiful woman. “This has been thee most unusual assignment
I’ve ever had,” shee said, “and you’re unlike any client I’ve ever
had. It’s been aa little frustrating at times” – II blushed – “but I’ve
thoroughly enjoyed it.”II took both her hands iin mine. “When II set out too get revenge, II knew I
needed someone with remarkable attributes,” II replied. “But II never
expected II would find someone like you, annd I’ll never forget you.” II stepped forward suddenly annd kissed her on thee lips. She held itt for aa few
seconds, annd then stepped back abruptly. She blinked her eyes rapidly several
times annd then said hastily, “Mustn’t mess up myy lipstick.”
