Chapter three{3}

Esther arrives at an hotel, she walks into a darker comer of the parking lot. As she carefully examines the expensive cars Of different colors sizes and brands parcked there. 

She dumps her Bible and Jotter into her big hand bag. Then she pulls off the baggy dress. Only to reveal an orange crop top that is strapped tightly against her  bust, but reveals no part of it, only makes it's presence well known and helps to outline the perfect shape of her upper body. 

She is wearing a crazy skirt that is half way up her thighs... And she finishes it off with white canvas.... 

She looks very elegant and she has changed from the churchy appearance to a very arousing one. She uses her hand to adjust her cloths... And she adjust her bust also, they are not too big but just the right size... 

She majestically walks into the hotel building and what she is anticipating the most is Kunles expression when he sees her. 

The hotels reception is very cold, quiet and empty. The only person there is the receptionist who is busy watching Zee World from the big television on the wall. 

The receptionist does not notice her presence till she speaks.  Which startles the poor receptionist. 

"Hello... Good evening ma'am" Esther greets in a rather apologetic tone as she knows she startled the receptionist. 

" Hello, madam, welcome to Grand Villa Hotel. How may I be of service? " The bubbly receptionist replys with a smile to show all is forgiven. 

" Yeah. I am here to see a,  Mr. Kunle Ajayi. "

  "Sure, please give me a moment. "

"Sure"

" Thank you. "

The receptionist brings out a hard cover record keeping book and scans through it with her eyes for a few seconds. And then she spends a few more seconds on the desktop before her. 

" Madam, please may I know you? " the receptionist finally speaks. 

" Esther Adebayo". Esther replies

  "please hold on" The receptionist requests. 

She picks up the telephone that is resting on the table and putS a call through to Kunles room; 

" Hello, Good evening sir."

"This is a call from the reception. A Miss Esther Adebayo is here to see you."

"Okay sir"

After making several stops in between statements to listen to Kunles Reply, the receptionist drops the call. 

  " He is in room 105 on the third floor ma'am.. Have a nice time"

"Thank you" Esther replies as she shoots the receptionist daggers with her eye. Because they both know that is not at all an innocent remark. 

Just like any typical person, this receptionist could not mind her business so she stylishy chipped in her crude comment. 

By indirectly tagging Esther a call girl... 

Well, you have to be an experienced Nigerian to be able to decode such sarcasm and Indirect insults. 

Esther makes for the elevator and after a few seconds of peace, quiet, and inhaling the beautiful scent of the hotels lavish elevator, the doors of the elevator soon open, Ushering her into a lobby with doors on both sides and paintings in between each beautiful room door. 

With the room numbers crested on each beautiful door...

She wonders how Kunle could afford to spend even one night in this grand hotel. Talk more of a week which he had spent here  already. 

Now don't get her wrong, Kunle is a well to do man. But he just graduated from university last year and works as a banker in a private banking firm. 

His pay is high enough to put food on his table, dress him and put a roof over his head. But honestly not enough to afford such a grand and equally expensive hotel. 

She sometimes wonders if he is into another line of business and even hopes he isn't into dirty deals and all. Because each time she asks, he always covers it up with another topic and has never really given her an explanatory reply. 

She strides elegantly till she approaches room 105, She takes her time to comb the wrinkles off her dress with her palms before She takes a deep breath and proceeds to ring the door bell. 

A voice calls from the other side 

"Coming". 

After a few seconds... Kunle opens the door. 

"Hello sugar, you made it! " he squeals as he sets his eyes on her. He rakes her body greedily with his eyes. 

"Yes. Can you see now that I love you?... I made it. "

"No. " he replies sharply.... 

"What?! " she questions in alarm as she can not believe her ears. 

"Come in my dear" he says gesturing towards the room as they were both having their little chat in the door way.  And the person in the the opposite room would hear them if he leans against the door. 

She walks in stomping her foot as she walked past him. 

"What do you mean no?!. "She asks him once she is finally in the room. 

"Just sit first" Kunle replies as he gestures towards the bed. 

She obeys him and she takes a sits on the edge of the bed. 

"What did you mean by "no"?! "She repeats in anger. 

"Darling, we are going to spend the night together right? " Kunle asks her. 

She nods in accordance. 

"So you just showing up here, doesn't mean you actually love me... It only means you have time to spare. " he says... Looking into her eyes. 

"What?!... Do you know how many corners I had to cut to make it here?! " anger evident in her voice. 

"Yes,  it is very obvious" Kunle says and his facial expression suddenly changes into a smirk. 

" what do you mean? " Esther asks In pure confusion. 

" well, you are dressed in an incredibly sexy manner that would make any man drool over you.. But then... Your hair is wrapped in a headtie, no make up and no earrings too. It is very clear The lies you had to tell to get here." He replies half laughing. 

"Ooooh. No wonder the receptionist was glaring me. " she replies in realization
