I panicked, trying to delete it, but it was too late. He’d seen it.

My phone lit up. It was his message.

“Call me.”

I debated ignoring it. Pretend nothing happened. But my fingers betrayed me again. I called.

His voice was calm, deep, and slightly amused. “Was that for me?”

I swallowed. “No. That was a mistake.”

“A beautiful mistake,” he said softly. “But now I can’t stop thinking about you.”

I went quiet. My heart pounded.

“I want to see you,” he said. “No pressure. Just come over. Talk to me… in person.”

I hesitated. Then I surprised myself. “Send the address”, I said.

Somehow, I got to his house. I knocked on his door, my palms damp, knees slightly shaky. He opened it shirtless, wearing grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips. His eyes travelled down my body, lingering.

“You came,” he said, stepping aside.

I stepped inside. His place smelled like cedarwood and citrus. Clean. Inviting.

“Want a drink?” he asked.

“Water’s fine.”

He handed me a glass and gestured toward the couch. We sat close, but not too close. The video hung in the air between us, unspoken but present.

“So…” he began, swirling his drink. “Is that something you do often?”

“Send explicit videos to guys I’m texting?” I laughed nervously. “Not at all. That was… truly an accident.”

“I liked what I saw,” he said, his eyes holding mine. “But I like this more. Seeing you here, raw, real.”

That surprised me. He didn’t go for the obvious. He didn’t press.

We talked about music, random tweets, bad dates, and how Lagos is both a dream and a nightmare. I forgot how I got there, and I forgot the awkwardness. I started to relax.

At some point, I realised we were closer. His arm brushed mine. My legs tucked under me, turning toward him. He looked at me differently now.

“I wasn’t expecting to feel this… connected,” he said softly.

“Me neither.”

His hand reached out, tentative, and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. I didn’t stop him.

“Can I kiss you?” he asked.

That question did something to me.

“Yes,” I answered.

His lips were gentle at first, testing the moment. I leaned in, and the kiss deepened—warm, slow, and filled with promise. My body stirred, memories of that video now alive in the flesh.

He pulled back slightly, eyes searching mine. “Still okay?”

I nodded, breathless.

We moved together like magnets. His hands on my waist, my fingers tracing his chest. Clothes peeled away, slowly, like an invitation we both kept accepting.

He kissed me down my neck and whispered my name like a secret. And when he finally touched me, really touched me, I trembled.

By the time he entered me, I was lost in him. His rhythm matched my pulse. It wasn’t just sex. It was fire and softness, desire and surprise. I moaned into his shoulder, clinging to him, falling apart and being put back together in his arms.

When it was over, we lay there, quiet, tangled.

He turned to me, smiling. “Next time, maybe send it on purpose.”

I laughed, shaking my head. But deep down, I knew I would send it again.
