Eseosa's gait

Eseosa was late! But when I saw her approaching from about a hundred metres away, the anger that had formed venom stains on my chest was quickly washed away by the clear water our hearts danced in - love.

Eseosa's gait reminded me of the day I first saw her; before our love story began.

I used to be the choirmaster of the church choir, and dont even me ask if I could sing. When Eseosa walked into the choir room that evening, singing came to a halt for some seconds! Well, that was 'partially' my fault because I had stopped conducting; my hands froze in the air -  in a suspended state - while my gaze shifted from the soprano singers who hardly hit the right notes, to the Angel that walked on earth that day.

Everyone thought my reaction was as a result of the irritation I may have felt having to notice someone barge into the choir room and walk so majestically like she was the queen of the world; taking each step such that her opposite hip created a profound bulge, the bulge which also reflected between my legs.

Of course this was no irritation and on the contrary I actually thought she was the queen of the world!
So you would understand the joy that drew fine curves on my face, when her reply to the usual question I asked when an 'intruder' came in was "Yes sir, I have come to join"

"Baby I'm so sorry..Traffic" she said as she sat down beside me quietly and kissed my pregnant lips. She did not mind public display of affection. And the park itself, was quite open.

"Baby Say something naa"
"What do you want me to say?" I wasn't smiling. "Babe I've been waiting for over an hour, you should have left home earlier" my voice was raised this time
"I know..I'm really sorry"
Then she gave me three kisses that formed a straight line on my neck - my 'weak' point.
I smiled at her, "You still should have left home earlier".
"Don't worry, I won't be late on our next date, I promise"

Those words struck my heart a thousand times. I knew there would not be a next date, I wasn't sure if I would be given another chance.

You see, about an hour ago, my body laid lifeless a few metres away from us, close to the road. The driver that hit me must have been drunk - I guess.
