Wishful With A Disaster...Chapter one

Femi's week had been going great, he had gotten the promotion he requested for. With his salary raised, he decided to go all out the rest of the week. 'Nothing could go wrong for me', he thought walking out the church's entrance, dressed in his blazers and black jeans. He looked rather young for a twenty eight year old, he had leveled his beard and dyed his hair black, to reveal the youthful life he still had in him. The sermon had been spirit lifting, his fat tithe envelope was enough to feed an orphanage.

"Brother Femi! Brother Femi!!", a voice called from behind, drawing him back to the present, Femi turned around slowly and was surprised to see the person who had been calling his name, was the girl to whom his existence was not significant to, at least not until now. She continued running towards him to close up the gap between them, and then kicked a stone and fell down face flat on his chest, making him loose balance, he stumbles over. They both fell flat on the floor, he on his butt and her still on his chest. She coughs, then breathes in heavily and then out, with each breath her breast would enlarge and then compress. Femi could see a clear view of it, after all she was right on him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry", she said pulling herself away from him, she stands up on her heel and began to dust her clothes. Femi still sat there admiring her perfect sized waist which was well displayed by the body tight gown she had on.

"Are you okay?", she asked after she was done cleaning up, once again bringing him back to reality. 

"Yeah, yeah I am" Femi said making his way to his feet, he took his handkerchief from his breast pocket and began to clean himself up.

"I'm so clumsy", she said holding her hand to her face. 

"it's okay, so what made you run all the way from the church, or don't you have societal meetings today?", Femi asked knowing every activity she had engaged him made him feel like a stalker. 

"Well I did, but I wanted to ask you something so I took an excuse", Chinonye said continuing the walk home, that she had stopped him from. They both lived in the same house, although her parents were the land owners and lived a floor higher than Femi.

"Won't your parents mind you skipping out on societal arrangements like this?", Femi said licking his lips, they had gone dry from the heat of the sun, and also from his good brethren pretense.

Chinonye smiled and said, "Don't worry about them, I told them I wasn't feeling well, and they let me go".

"You lied?", Femi asked, shocked that she actually wasn't as innocent as he thought she was. 

"It's a white lie, let's take this way", she said pointing at the shortcut which many people took on weekdays but not on weekends, they were said to be prime areas for crime during the weekends, but Femi didn't care, he was too preoccupied to worry. 

"So what do you need help from me with?", Femi asked

"Okay, you know I work in the same company you do", she said 

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering if you could help me get into a higher office, by pulling some favors", she said with a broad smile on her face.

The thought of this made sweat form on his forehead, he had only just gotten a promotion, asking for something like this too early would be asking too much, but not helping her would damage their newly made relationship.

"It's awfully quiet here today, don't you think?", Femi asked trying to change the topic, while wishing that someone would stop her from asking again.

"Wetin una dey find for here???", a voice yelled from behind them, eight strong muscular men appeared from nowhere and surrounded them both, they were too far from the main road now, no one in sight to help them, Femi's wish had come true, but it had also backfired on him.

All he could think was, 'Why did I have to be the one?'.
