“k!ssme back.” Cindy said s£dûçt!velythat Samuel couldn’t resist her.
She closed her eyes and made to k!sshim again but Samuel turned his head sideway.
” Cindy…st©p.” he managed to uttered.
“Why? I wanna do this with you today, tomorrow you can decide to do anything like snub me or anything… it’s been long, right?” She said moving closer to him.
” If you move any closer…I may do something stupid.” He said in a low voice but audible enough for her to hear.
” Do that stupid thing…just let this off my head.” She said.
” Not with me, Cindy.”
” Then with who?’ she asked turning him to himself.
“You’re married..”
Cindy shut him up with herl-ips on hisl-ips. Samuel couldn’t st©p himself this time around, he gave in to the world of plea-sure and k!$$£d her back pas-sionately.
He’s such a good k!ss£r as he devour Cindy’sl-ips like his life depended on it.
The k!sswas so intense that it’s almost turning to a wild r0m@nç£but Samuel got a hold of himself and st©pped right away breathing heavily.
“Sorry…I shouldn’t have…” He apologized staring at her swollenl-ips.
“Being a good girl doesn’t pay, right?” She asked.
Samuel was silent as what he just did was repla-ying in his head. What he has been re-sisting himself to do was what just transpired between them now.
“End what you’ve started.” She heard her said.
“What?” He asked swiftly looking at her direction
“You heard me… I’ve never felt like this all my life. Even when Emmanuel do t©uçh me, I’ve never felt so good like this. I’m sure if it were to be you that’s doing that then, I’d have let go of my vir-ginity but I don’t always feel like this when with Emmanuel. Now, right now, my b©dy’s on fire and only you can quench it with your t©uçh.” She said slowly and gently.
Samuel could only watched her talk. He can’t believe she’s saying all that.
“No Cindy, don’t be silly. St©p acting like this for goodness sake!” He said.
“How am I acting? Is it not enough that I’m pregnant for the unknown and the unknown turned out to be Phili-p? Is it not enough that I married someone who doesn’t care? Is it not enough that….” She was interrupted by a gentle pe-ck on herl-ips.
“Enough. I un-derstand you, but let’s take things step by step and slowly. Let’s find a way out of this mess first, then what to do next would be known.” He said gently c@r£ss!ngher b©dy s£nding sweet feelings to her b©dy.
“Sam…” She said almost in a whisper smuggling closer to his che-st.
“I love it when you call me that.” He answered not taking away his hand
“Last k!ssfor today…” She whispered k!ss!nghis n£¢k.
“Not again. What we’re doing isn’t right enough.” He said suppressing the urge to devour herl-ips hungrily.
“I started it, didn’t I? You have nothing to worry about, okay? Just plea-se me.” She said.
“Have you eaten?” He asked.
“No. Don’t change the t©pic.” She said.
“Let’s find something to eat. Where should we go?” He asked.
“When there’s foodstuff in the house?”
“Okay. Fine. Your wish.” He said
“And that reminds me, I’d soon be leaving this house.” He said.
Cindy raised her head from his che-st and stared at him.
“Why?”
“Nothing. I wanna change house. It’s for the best anyways.”
“So, where are you planning to go? And what happened to this place?” She asked.
“I’m still looking into where to go although I’ve Informed an agent and in a week or so, he’d have found one . And this place would still be this place. Nothing would happen to it ” he told her.
” Why does it feel as if you’re leaving this place because of me?” She asked.
” Aww… St©p that! How do you mean? We’re still together, okay?” He said.
” No problem. I’m famished.” She said.
” What do you wanna eat?” He asked.
“I don’t know. Let’s go to the kitchen first ” she said
” Okay.” He said and stood up expecting her to stand up too.
” Let’s go now ” he said ’cause she’s still sitting down.
” I’ve been stressed too much today, carry me to the kitchen.” She said
” You made a mistake. You’d have said ‘carry us to the kitchen’ instead. You’ve forgotten, you are two?” He asked smiling handsomely.
“St©p plea-se.” She said and before she could blink again..
She’s in his arm. He carried her in a bridal style out of the room and placed her on the kitchen cabinet when they got there.
“Sit there and watch me cook.” He said k!ss!ngthe back of her hand.
” Your ring…?” He asked.
” Just go and cook, okay?” She said avoiding his question.
She has re-moved the ring from her f!nger earlier in the morning. And she has it in mind to let her parents know everything she’s been facing in her marriage after the service and to tell them that she’s no longer interested in the marriage again. But another issue ensued.
” We have a lot to talk about after eating ‘ he said.
“Sure. I’m re-ady to be open.” She answered.
“Now, be a good boy and cook for momma.” She laughed.
“Fine.”
He said and set to cook while she watched in smiles.

John was in his room lying down with his head full of Lizzy’s thought. How’d she try to hide that hvge fact away from him? He was tem-pted to go to her house right now but no, he can’t do that.
“Just when I’m about to tell her my true feelings. Just when we’re about to start something special.” He soliloquies.
Then his phone rang beside him.
?Hello
? Who’s this plea-se?
?Annabella
?Oh… Annabelle, how’re you?
?I’m not fine
?What happened?
?My mum isn’t fine.
?What happened to her?
?Ever since the day you c@m£.
?Where are you and how did you get my number?
?I’m at home with her. She hasn’t left her room since day break. And I got your number from her phone. She was charging it in the living room.
?Have you eaten?
?No..
?Why?
?My mum isn’t fine, so I’m not hungry.
She started crying.
?Okay… I’ll be there soon.
He said and ended the call.
“God! I hope that little one isn’t thinking I’m the one behind this.” He thought as he got his car key and walked out of the house.

Mrs Veronica has calmed down a bit now. And they’re eating in the dining when their doorbell rang.
“I’ll go see who’s at the door.” Lawyer James said and left.
Soon, he opened the door and The Walter walked in. Mrs Veronica, on sighting them stood up and told them to get out of her house. But they all went to their knees instantly begging her to hear them out first.
Even pastor Walter was kneeling down. Lawyer James whispered some few words to his wife and they allowed them to sit down.
“We are here to say sorry. We’ve got to know about this some times back but we’re too scared to face you.” Mrs Monica started.
“And ain’t you facing us now?” Mrs Veronica ch!pped in
“We are so sorry. plea-se forgive us. We’ve offended you, we know. But plea-se for the sake of Christ we are both serving…” She was interrupted.
“Shut up! Keep it to yourself. So, you know Christ exist, yet you did that to my daughter? My only child…innocent and lovely soul..” Mrs Veronica said.
” plea-se…” Phil-ips tarted but was cut short.
“Shut it. I’m not done talking. What did our family bought from you that we didn’t pay? You were here that day when I was scolding my daughter about this unknown pregnancy not knowing you’re the one behind it. Devil in human clothing. Don’t bother wasting your time because, I will never forgive you! Now, out of my house!” She shouted and they got up immediately,startled.
” Out of this building!” She shouted again.
Lawyer James knew better than to tell her to calm down. He was also in pain too but what can he do?
” plea-se…forgive us ..” Pastor Walter said on their way out.
” Don’t say that word in my hearing again! Out!” She said angrily.
The Walter walked out with their legs heavy.
” You should have calm down now..” Lawyer James said.
” Calm down? Are you the one telling me this? Is my daughter not precious to you again?”
” She’s precious even more than gold. But we are not God, life itself is unpredictable. We can’t undo what’s been done.” He said.
” Pls, spare me this preachings.” She said and left the living room.

” Where’s she?” John asked immediately Ann opened the door for her.
“There in the living room.” She said without moving an inch.
John quic-kly rushed inside and met darkness except for a candle light in the dining area.
“Ann…!” He called but no response.
“Lizzy?”
No response…
Seconds later, some words appeared on the wall re-ading, “plea-sE, FORGIVE ME. I AM de-epLY SORRY.”
Then, he un-derstands what’s going on. Lizzy tricked her to apologize. He took his seat and words start displa-ying one after the other.
I CAN EXPLAIN
IT’S NOT INTENTIONAL.
plea-sE DON’T LEAVE ME
TRY TO un-derSTAND
YOU’VE BECOME A p@rt OF ME
I LOVE YOU
Lizzy showed up after the last word dressed gorgeously in a glittering red short go-wn with black heels. She applied a little make up on her face and a redl-ipgloss.
John couldn’t help but marvelled at the beauty in his front. Lizzy slowly walked to him and sat beside him
“I am sorry. I can explain. Nine years ago, I was R@p£d by my then b©yfri£ndwhen I visited him in his house. He called me saying he was sick and I should get him drugs…not knowing it was a tra-p. It resulted into pregnancy and I couldn’t get rid of it ’cause I was scared of death. He told me to ab-ort it or he’d cut all ties with me. When I didn’t ab-ort it like he wished, he broke up with me and I was on my own. It was after having her, I chased my nursing dream to be someb©dy in life.” She paused staring at John.
” I couldn’t tell you because lots of men have dumped me after getting to know about my daughter. So, I think you’d do the same if you get to know too. I’m sorry for keeping such away from you.” She ended.
John couldn’t say a word. He leaned in closer to her and k!sses the hell outta herl-ips. She reciprocated immediately and they k!$$£d hungrily like they’ve been starved of it for years.
Minutes later, they broke it breathing heavily.
“I love you, Lizzy. Be my inti-mate for real. No acting this time.” He said not breaking the eye contact.
Lizzy’s tummy did some dancing as smile appeared on her face.
Without a word, she closed her eyes and k!sshim so pas-sionately. He pu-ll-ed her more closer c@r£ss!ngher b©dy along with the k!ss. She m0@n ed softly into his mouth as he squee-zed her left side bo-ob.
The k!sswas getting into a h0t r0m@nç£and m0@n s heard in the living room..
After some minutes, they st©pped and she rested her head on his che-st.
“I’ve forgiven you. It wasn’t easy avoiding you. I love you so much ” John said ru-bbing her ba-re back.
” Thank you. I love you too.”

Samuel’s House
He’s done cooking and they’re in the dining eating.
“Delicious!” She said.
“Really?”
She nodded.
“Thank you.”
“Sam, I’m planning on conducting a paternity test. ’cause I still can’t believe Phil!pcan do such to me despite who he is.” She said.
” We are all human beings. Anyb©dy can do the unexpected.” He said.
” Including you?” She asked laughing
” I don’t know. But you know, I also did the unexpected earlier.” He said staring at her.
” I started that one, you know ”
” So, what if it turn out that he’s the father.”
” He will not have anything to do in my child’s life. I can take care of him/her on my own.” She said while Samuel chuckled.
” It’s not funny ”
” I know. But you sounded funny.”
‘how do you mean?”
“You can’t deny your child his/her fatherly love and care.” He said.
“But it sounds stupid. How’d someone did that to me..? I still can’t explain why!” She said.
“You have to accept it because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it unless you want to get rid of the baby., Which I’m not in support of it.” He said.
Cindy dropped her fork and drank some water.
“I’ve accepted it anyways. And… I’m divorcing Emmanuel very soon.” She said as she resumed eating.
“Why?” Samuel asked
“Nothing. We are not meant to be together, I guess. And another lady is sharing my husband with me which sounds stupid. I can’t stand his pres£nce and I can’t be leaving un-der the same roof with them. We have no intimacy. We’re just living like strangers and it’s suffocating me.” She said.
” I can’t believe Emmanuel can change drastically like that. I mean after all the love and care he showered me while d@t!ng. I thought I’ve seen my soulmate but no, I was wrong. I made a mistake. Emmanuel has bec@m£ someone I don’t know again. A stranger. It’s killing me inside. The thought of divorcing him is even giving me creeps because I love him more than how he’s treating me. He’s treating me so badly. Imagine him slee-ping with another lady on our be-d…when I’m not handicapped. I.. I can’t believe it. It’s true human beings can’t be trusted. Like you said, anyb©dy can do the unexpected. I hope you don’t leave me too…but you will eventually do so…or won’t you get married again? Of course you will, Ellen too will soon get married and I will be left alone. I…” She sobbe-d.
Samuel left his seat and went to her. He lifted her up from the seat and cleaned her tears with his palm.
Without saying a word, he k!$$£d her himself, pas-sionately and she returned it. The k!sswas the one that holds lots of unexplained emotions. It’s in a slow, gentle and ro-mantic k!ss.
Not breaking the k!ss, he carried and placed her on the dining table, got in-between her legs and resumed the k!ss.
