One afternoon, Kay decided to explore the neighborhood around Roscoe's. She had found a cute outdoor market that was open on the second Tuesday of the month, where a lot of home chefs and vendors and small businesses set up stands to try to sell their wares. She wanted to see if there was anything she could use for her own cooking, which had grown leaps and bounds since she started waiting tables and doing kitchen work again. Hey, maybe she could find something for the restaurant as well. It was proving to be a good day. She had on a flowy, bohemian white dress, her sunglasses were on top of her head, and she had a canvas shoulder bag for any new treats.
While strolling through on a sunny, warm afternoon, she bought things for authentic jerk chicken from a family of Jamaicans. She bought homemade injera from a group of Ethiopian immigrants.
"Psst!"
Kay turned around. She saw a stand with three men in their thirties working it, which seemed to be focused on a hot sauce. She was waved over.
"C'mon over here girly, no need to be modest now!" said one of the men in a notable Nigerian accent. Kay approached the booth slowly.
"Tell me girl, you work at Roscoe's, correct?"
"...yeah." Kay wasn't used to being recognized. Hell, those years in the pen made her feel invisible to the outside world.
That answer got a big smile from all three men.
"Perfect!" Olumide, as he was called, turned to his two coworkers and friends. "My uncle Tobi went there and said it was an experience like no other!" The two others snickered, and Olumide turned his attention back to Kay. "Looking at the staff in person, I can see why!"
Kay blushed.
"Listen, how would you like to take something to work to impress your boss?"
Femi came out from around the booth and put his arm around her waist and waved his hand at her.
"Come on now! I hear he's already very impressed with her! Why do you think he gives her so much attention?"
"Oh, is that what he's been giving her?" Muyiwa said with a sly grin.
Kay's complexion then ran from rosy pink to a deep red.
"Now now, gentlemen," Olumide said. "We're here to have her try this sauce!" He reached under the booth and brought out a bottle of Oh! Ata, Baby! It was a sauce derived from Obe Ata, somewhat thin in nature and with a kick that focused on flavor and not causing grievous oral damage.
"Well, we don't have any food around," Muyiwa said.
"Hmmm," Femi frowned. "Olumide, hand me that wet wipe." Olumide handed him a packet, to which Femi took out a napkin and ran it over his hands. He then got tossed a bottle, which he opened and poured some sauce on his index finger. "You try, okay?" Kay looked unsure.
"It's clean, you just saw me clean it!" Femi explained. "And besides, you want to please your boss, right? I guarantee you, and he, will love it." Kay could've sworn she heard Muyiwa mutter something under his breath, only picking up the words "pleasing" and "Roscoe."
She looked around, saw everyone mostly attending to their own affairs, slipped her sunglasses over her eyes, and dutifully lapped up the sauce. It started with a modest suck of the tip. Liking the flavor, and deciding to tease the men as much as they were teasing her, she then nibbled down the side of Femi's finger, worked her way back up to the tip, and then slowly put the first joint in her mouth, followed by the knuckle, and then opening up and swallowing the entire finger, keeping it in her mouth as she swirled her tongue around and around. She slowly kept a tight suction as she moved back, only to quickly put the whole thing in her mouth again, followed by a slow move back, another entire gulp, before eventually moving back for the last time, until just the trace of her lips were on the very end of his finger. She then softly gave his tip a gentle smack.
Putting her sunglasses back on the top of her head, she could finally notice how Femi's eyes were closed, how he was shivering standing in place, his knees slightly buckled. Below his eyes and above his knees she noticed a quite large bulge within his linen pants, and a nickle-sized wet spot at the end of it. His two coworkers were staring slackjawed at the two of them.
"Good to know I still got it," Kay thought to herself. Then out loud, she asked "so how much?"
As she walked away, all three men watched. Finally breaking the silence, Muyiwa said "Olumide, you are like a brother to me... but I would quit this job in a second if I could get a job working at her restaurant."
Olumide responded.
