"When the cold seeps
Through your fur
And for my loneliness
There is no succor
We're just two stones
And withered leaves
Although apart
Useless is all we seem
Still, when I grind on you
Our body heats
And leaves no clue
That we once were frigid
Lying parallel
Like forks and knives
And yet, together we can't
But spark to life..."
- John Spurgeon
Chinwe stared out of the taxi window, not really seeing anything as the wet scenery flew past. Her mind was a blur of emotions, all stemming from a singular root - Sammy, the cute boy at the fruit shop. She had gone to the shop seeking warmth and shelter from the cold rain. She'd gotten her shelter, but a different kind of warmth had ignited itself deep inside her. He'd felt it too, she was sure. Too bad, they hadn't had enough time to explore that spark.
She had taken his number before leaving, promising to call him. She hadn't yet, not even as she was on her way back to the fruit shop. Would he be surprised to see her, Chinwe wondered. Will he be pleased she came back? Or did he already have someone on standby. He's so cute he shouldn't be single, she thought... and with this kind of weather, pairing off was almost a necessity.
However, it wasn't for him that she was meeting him, but for her. She'd gone home and rolled from one end of her bed to the other and felt that spark build into an aching emptiness deep inside her, which she needed filled - a longing that steadily grew even more terrible as evening darkened to night, that all thoughts of spending another night alone seemed appalling. The cold winds blowing tonight seemed to be on a mission - to suck off all caution and modesty from her head. Tonight she'd be as carefree and alive as those other girls in her lodge - those slutty chicks she'd taught herself to detest.
She'd overheard them talk - Sammy and the customers who'd interrupted their brief sexcapade in the bakery. The shop closed at ten pm. Chinwe looked at her wristwatch - nine-twenty five. She hoped the rain won't make them close earlier than usual today.
Sammy was as horny as a day-old initiate at the playboy mansion. He could still feel Sylvia's warm, soft hand on his dick even though it'd been hours...no ages ago. It was still raining outside, and the cold had brought in numerous customers from the nearby school hostel and lodges looking to buy bread or warm snacks and ingredients for tea.
Most of them were females arriving in pairs and groups, their exquisite bodies hidden by wooly, over-sized sweaters. Still, that didn't deter Sammy from undressing them with his eyes, wishing he could explore the soft warmth below the padding fabrics. His cousin, Jonah and Kemi, his girlfriend came out of the office where Sammy had found them in the middle of a heavy petting session, to help attend to the customers. Catching Jonah sucking an ebony-colored, soft, succulent orb didn't help Sammy's erection either. One girl bent to pick her money which had fallen out of her pocket. Sammy couldn't help but gape at the perfect onion-shaped booty encased in tight denim trousers, and envy whoever was tapping that tonight. Kemi caught him staring and smirked. He quickly averted his gaze smiling to himself. Booty call... that was the only way to survive this night. Unless Sylvia called him like she promised.
There was an aphrodisiac in the air, carried by the windy rain, Sammy was sure. However, closing time was fast approaching, and Sammy was fast losing hope that his phone would ring. It was getting late, and Sylvia hadn't come off as a night person to him.
Finally, it was ten o'clock on the dot. Jonah had gone to lock the front entrance. Sammy had buried his nose in the account book, counting proceeds and recording figures when his cousin's voice got his attention.
"Sammy... last call...sharp-sharp so we can go."
Sammy looked up and froze, then felt his body relax. He almost sighed in relief. She smiled at him as he approached, and the rest of the occupants of the shop ceased to exist. She was wearing a thin sweater with a hoodie, blue denim skirts that reached her knees and a pair of black sandals on her feet. She held an umbrella in one hand and a purse in the other. She wasn't going to win any beauty contests, but her aura alone made him desire her so bad. And it wasn't the aphrodisiac in the cold wind blowing outside, Sammy was sure. His pheromones had cross-pollinated with hers already. Her smile alone was enough to turn his wood into a rock.
God! He's so handsome, Chinwe thought as she walked up to the counter.
"Hi!" He said in a gentle voice he didn't recognize. She smelled god-awesome.
"Hi!" She replied. He was pleased to see her. Surprised too. The knowledge thrilled her. The thrill converted to something different within her...a primal urge to... she shook the thought out of her head and stretched to take his hand which was on the counter but stopped herself. Her cotton panties had gotten moist from thinking of him on the drive over. Seeing him was a different ball game. Soon she'd they'd be soaked and her want will coat the middle of her thighs. A wet spot on her skirt wouldn't do.
Jonah cleared his throat. Sammy and Chinwe turned to see him standing at a corner with Kemi beside him. "I think we'd let you close up tonight. Kemi is tired. I'll see the account books tomorrow."
Chinwe looked away to hide the grateful blush creeping up her face, and missed the knowing smirk that appeared on Kemi's face.
Tomorrow is Sunday, thought Sammy, but he didn't care to mention that. He struggled to keep his expression straight. "Just help me with the mops outside, please," he requested, and returned his attention to Chinwe when they agreed.
"Have you sold all the cookies?" Chinwe asked, sitting on one of the counter stools.
Sammy nodded. "All the snacks are finished...but I saved some pies for myself. Would you like?"
"Yes."
Sammy left for the adjourning door that led into the bakery. Chinwe would've followed suit, if Jonah and Kemi weren't both still bringing in the goods hung outside. Sammy returned with a plate containing two pies. He got a sachet of serving papers from one of the drawers and walked around the counter to place the items beside her.
"Milk or yoghurt?" Sammy asked.
"Yoghurt. Nothing from the fridge though."
Sammy went to a shelf to get a bottle of yoghurt off a rack. Jonah and Kemi brought in the last of the goods sampled outside, wished them both goodnight and left. Sammy locked the front entrance after them. He returned to the counter with the yoghurt which he opened with his teeth and handed to her.
Chinwe had already started with one pie. He took the second one with his bare fingers and bit in while he watched her take a swig of yoghurt. He pulled a counter stool and sat so close to her their knees were touching.
"You said you'd call," Sammy began, "You showed up instead. I never expected you to show up."
