Lagos being a jungle isn’t news to anyone, the boldness, and courage these people have is one to note about. Especially this couple that I met sometime back and the wild encounter that came with it. 

Driving back from work I decided to get some food from a restaurant. Living as a bachelor you don’t always have the strength to make your own food, especially after a long day of work. 

As I was about to enter the place, I noticed a couple who looked like they were in their mid-20s or so sitting at the window table. Although my eyes didn’t pander around the place I noticed the look they gave me as I walked in. 

As I stood in the line to place an order, I could hear tiny sounds of giggles and what you could say were side talks that I felt were about me, none the less I didn’t pay attention to it, I placed my order and went to a free table to sit while I wait for it to be ready. 

Soon after one of the waiters approached me, in my head i thought that the reason the waiter came was to notify me that my order was ready, I stood up as she walked toward my table, but to my surprise, she was delivering a message from those couples that they’d like me to come to sit with them.

At first, it felt weird, I was so confused as to why these strangers wanted me at their table, but my inquisitive side wanted to know so I walked to their table and introduced myself. The man offered me a seat and introduced himself and his wife. The lady kept looking at me, sizing me up from head to toe, and didn’t relent at not hiding it, the awkward part was that the husband was doing the same.

They began to tell me about their work and how often they travel- to me it felt like they were maybe in the advertisement, with the way they were sounding. Frustrated as to why the intent of them calling me to their table wasn’t yet known to me, I decided to cut him short and ask directly why they called me. 

To my surprise, the words that came out of his mouth were dumbfounding. I’m a very plain-vanilla kind of person, my life is a very boring one and I am okay with it, I might not be the most sexually active person but I get some when it comes, but being asked to my face if I’d want to sleep with someone’s wife while the husband watches was not the question I ever imagined i’ll be asked in my life. Felt like a porn script. 

For a second I was lost, didn’t even say a word until the wife touched my hand I was brought back to reality. I politely declined and left their table, went to the counter to pick up my meal, and left the restaurant almost immediately 

As I drove home, the whole scene played in my head and I wondered what it would be like if I had accepted his offer.
