We had a grand country meal before going to our rooms and packing to return to school. We carried our cases out to the door but then sat in the living... room to talk with Agnes’ parents. They were becoming more used to the idea of Agnes marrying in December. I think they were more comfortable with the thought of our marriage in December than Jimmy and Suzanne ever marrying. Finally, we left for school making it in time for supper.Upon our arrival, we found that all had been well with our friends.. We started from there and instead of going to our Hostel, I drove towards majestic. Getting there she asked me what am I up to. I smilingly replied, “Let’s finish wat we started today”. We checked into a Hotel. I must add that Sophie did trust me a lot and she knew I would never use her and force her to do anything she dint want to. And I very well knew she was not ready to lose her virginity. I thought we will have usual foreplay session and she can finish by blowing me off, never imagining. There was the usual intervention required with managers and suppliers to eliminate kickbacks and graft, but most everything else had worked by itself.Things weren’t perfect. Despite my best efforts and well-placed controls, the project was behind schedule, partly due to the increased demands of training: eighty-five percent of the project’s workforce was local. A few militants had tried taking potshots at the infrastructure and its workers from beyond the security fence surrounding the project,. Christina buried her head against my neck and chest. The quiet sobs finally came to an end but she didn’t move. How long we sat, who knows? It didn’t matter. This unbelievable woman had poured her life out before me and if she needed to sit until tomorrow it would be all right. As we sat Christina placed her hand over mine and gently squeezed. I knew it was her thanks. She shifted her body to move tighter to my side and whispered, ‘ I feel safe’. Christina then lifted her head and lightly.
