~TELL ME LIES~
-Chapter Fourteen-
Unedited
The next morning, I roll onto my back and reach out to t©uçh Rissa but her side of the be-d is empty, opening my eyes wi-der, I look around wondering why she would be out of be-d this early, this girl has been tripping too much, I am starved.
‘’Rissa!’’ I call out to her.
The be-droom door opens a minute later, Rissa is standing in the doorway, alre-ady dressed. She has a phone to her ear, I wonder who she is talking to this early.
‘’I will see you soon, bye,’’ she says, ending the call and facing me.
‘’Babe, good morning, you were calling me?’’
‘’You are up so early and all dressed up, where to?’’
‘’Meeting a client for breakfast before going to school.’’
I pat the empty space next to me, ‘’come here.’’
She walks towards me and clim-bs up onto the empty space.
‘’What’s wrong bear, are you okay?’’
‘’I miss you,’’ I hold her f!ngers, feeling the warmth.
‘’What do you mean you miss me? I am here, I have always been here.’’
‘’You have been distant babe, when last did we even have S-x? I am starved.’’
‘’I have been busy, you know all these projects I am doing have been keeping me up and about. You know we will have more than enough time when I am done with all this.’’
I pu-ll her closer and place a k!ssto herl-ips, ‘’I know but as you take care of your projects, don’t forget to take care of your husband too.’’
‘’Husband?’’
‘’I will be your husband someday, girl I am marrying you.’’
‘’Oh really, when are you marrying me exactly?’’
‘’Soon, I have been talking to my uncles about you, I am about to surprise you.’’
‘’That sounds interesting, I can’t wait to be your wife.’’
I cu-p her cheeks and k!ssher again a little more intensely, she responds by running her f!ngersup my back, for a moment there she melts and crushes into me and just as I am about to pu-ll up her dress, she pu-lls away from me.
‘’I have to leave babe.’’
I pu-ll her to me again and place my hand over her arm and cu-p her brea-sts but she shrugs me off and stands up. ‘’Not now, Gabriel, not now.’’
‘’Come on babe, you can’t leave me like this.’’
‘’But I told you I am meeting a client.’’
‘’The client can wait, come one just a quic-kie, just a quic-k one plea-se.’’
‘’I am sorry we are not doing this now.’’
I try begging her a little longer but my efforts are in vain, she gr-abs her bag and leaves, promising to make it up to me in the evening.
Frustrated, I get out of be-d, walk into the bathroom, take a bath, get dressed and leave the house without saying a word to the stupid house help that Rissa brou-ght.
Walking into Iris’ house, the earthly rich scent of coffee announces that she is in the kitchen and I walk over there, she is standing before the stove, stirring something in a pan with one hand as with the other she is holding up the phone and watching something. She is only in her un-derwear, walking behind her, I wra-p my arms around her and bury my face in the curve of her n£¢k, ‘’Hey wifey.’’
‘’Gabriel!’’ she exclaims.
‘’I want to do dirty things to you,’’ I whisper.
‘’You didn’t tell me you were coming.’’
‘’I wanted to surprise you, I missed you,’’ I turn her to face me before pu-lling her up so that she is standing very close to me, ‘’we nee-d to take these off,’’ I tag at her un-derwear but she brushes my hand off, ‘’it’s too early.’’
‘’The very best things happen in the morning,’’ I respond, brushing myl-ips on hers, we k!ssfor a few minutes then she pu-lls away leaving both of us breathless.
‘’Babe, I am hungry allow me to finish preparing my breakfast.’’
‘’But breakfast can wait, I am hungry for you.’’
‘’I am not in the mood, at least not this morning, I had a busy night. I just want to eat, bath and relax for a couple of hours.’’
‘’Where did you go last night?’’
‘’I was out with friends.’’
‘’And you didn’t think of telling me before going out?’’
‘’Telling you? Why? I can’t go out without your permission?’’
‘’You will be my wife soon, I don’t want you going out and acting single.’’
She rolls her eyes, ‘’st©p sounding like a broken record.’’
‘’I don’t want to argue this early,’’ I k!ssher n£¢k. ‘’Give me some.’’
‘’I am not in the mood,’’ she responds softly.
‘’Babe! plea-se.’’
‘’St©p!’’ she says with a raised voice.
I step aside, ‘’is something bothering you?’’
‘’No, I just don’t want to have S-x right now.’’
‘’Fine.’’
Is it just me or both my women are tripping? What the hell is going on here?
She finishes preparing breakfast, places the food on the table, pours herself a cu-p of coffee and gets started with breakfast. I shoot her daggers with my eyes wondering why she hasn’t dished up for me like she usually does.
‘’what?’’
‘’My food?’’
‘’Babe, you can pour yourself a cu-p of coffee and dish up for yourself.’’
‘’Why? You always do that for me.’’
‘’You are not handicapped Gabriel, learn to do certain things for yourself.’’
‘’Is this how it’s going to be when we get married?’’
‘’How?’’
‘’You will expect me to cook and dish up for myself?’’
‘’Isn’t it too early to be having such a heavy conversation? When last did you go to the office to check on how things are moving?’’
‘’I haven’t been there in a while.’’
Gabriel and I run a construction firm.
‘’But we agreed you would be checking in there more frequently than me.’’
‘’I know babe, I have just been un-der pressure.’’
‘’With what? We haven’t even started the wedding process.’’
‘’I have been trying to organize my people for our marriage introduction.’’
‘’And how is that going? I told mum you guys will be coming over the weekend.’’
‘’This weekend?’’
‘’Yes, isn’t that what we agreed on last time?’’
‘’I thought you would wait for me to confirm with you.’’
‘’We talked about this alre-ady, organize your people because mine are re-ady to receive you. I want to kick start the wedding preparation as soon as we finalize.’’
‘’Alright, how much do you think they will charge me?’’
‘’I wouldn’t know, just be re-ady to spend, I am an only child.’’
‘’I will work on it.’’
‘’That’s my baby.’’
‘’I love you.’’
‘’Same here.’’
‘’Same here what?’’
She laughs, ‘’I love you too.’’
‘’That’s more like it.’’
‘’What’s for the rest of the day?’’
‘’I am meeting a friend for lunch.’’
‘’Which friend? Can I join you guys?’’
‘’No, it’s a girls kinda-afternoon.’’
‘’I un-derstand, I think I will go to the office to check on stuff then I will come over for dinner, you should cook something nice.’’
‘’Are you spending the night?’’
‘’You want me to?’’
‘’That’s is up to you.’’
‘’I could.’’
‘’Okay.’’
When she finishes eating, she stands up and walks to the sink and cleans the plates.
‘’I am going to take a shower.’’
‘’I think I should leave now.’’
‘’Alright,’’ she leans in and lightly k!sses me.
‘’I will see you later.’’
