She looked at me coyly, grabbed my neck with her other hand and moved close to kiss me.
Okay, okay, wait...that was not how it started.
Let's go back to about 20 minutes earlier.
It was 9:45pm and Beyonce was live on stage doing what she knew how to do best. The stadium had come alive and almost everyone was on their feet, shouting, dancing, taking pictures and videos, basically, just having fun.
I kept a smiling face as much as possible as people moved past me. But I gave a stern face anytime I saw people standing or dancing on the stairs that led up the stands. Most times, once they see me coming up the stairs, they moved back into the row where their seats at.
Some of them continued to dance till I got in front of them, and motioned to them to move off the stairs. They didn’t move off in a hurry.
A few of the women tried to dance with me. One or two twerked in front of me.
Well, I didn’t touch, I just stood my ground until they complied with my directive to get off the stairs.
It was an interesting spectacle. More interesting than watching Beyonce. It showed that alcohol in the stands is not exactly a good idea.
Once I got them off the stairs, I would go back to my position at the foot of the stairway.
I stood with my back to the stage, while I faced the people.
I had some people standing behind me at the railings, they had moved closer to take pictures and videos. So I was always moving forward or backwards to allow people pass by me.
Many a times, breasts brushed past my shoulders, and bums bumped into me.
So when I felt someone's bum rub against mine, from down to up, I moved forward a bit to allow space for her to pass behind me, or to continue to dance.
She moved and stood beside me. She was facing the stage. I glanced at her. She was a blonde girl. She was not slim and looked to be in her early twenties.
She looked back at me and smiled. I nodded and smiled back. Then I looked away to the people up in the stands. I saw that some ladies were back dancing on the stairs.
As I stared at them to get their attention, I felt a hand moving up my thigh towards my groin.
It was the hand of the blonde young girl.
I held her hand and gently pushed it away. She looked at me coyly, grabbed my neck with her other hand and moved close to kiss me.
I pulled back from her and removed myself from her grip.
She smiled at me. I shook my head and wagged my finger at her.
"I’m so sorry," said a pregnant girl, as she moved close to the blonde girl.
The blonde girl mouthed, "you’re cute," as her pregnant friend dragged her away.
I simply nodded my head.
I looked around and saw some of the ladies smiling as they watched me. I briefly wondered if they had captured the scene on their phone.
I continued to monitor the people and the stairs.
Someone grabbed my butt.
I turned around sharply.
It was the blonde girl. She blew me a kiss as her pregnant friend pulled her away again.
"I love you," she mouthed.
I frowned and shook my head.
I had had training on safeguarding adults and children, as well as protecting the vulnerable, enough to know that the law of the land spares no one.
I was not "Joseph," but this wasn't the kind of temptation I could afford to fall into.
Some minutes later, I saw the blonde girl smiling and heading towards me. Her pregnant friend wasn't with her.
I inhaled and exhaled.
Nawa o, which kain soap I use baff today? Abi, na so he easy for someone to just fall in love? Just like that!!!
To be continued.
