" Do have a seat," Edwin spoke as he pulled out the seat for her to sit on. She responded as she sat down.
He sat opposite her afterward.
"So tell me, how have you been lately?" He questioned.
" I've been good. I now run my dad's hospital. He finally got what he wanted from me right from the beginning." She expressed.
"Wow! That's cool. I'm glad you are doing great." He replied with glee.
"Enough about me, how have you been?" She asked.
"Well," He exclaimed, adjusting his sitting posture, as he continued. "I work in a private hospital as the head surgeon."
" Wow, I'm proud of you. At least, you can now take good care of your mum. I know she's so proud of you." Angela responded.
"You can say that again." He replied.
"To tell you the truth babe, I was wondering where you had gotten the money to pay for a dinner date in a five-star hotel. I had believed that maybe you were trying to impress me." She stated.
Edwin guffawed with delight on hearing such. "Of course, I should impress you. I mean, if not you, who else should I impress?" He replied as they both laughed boisterously.
"Please, pardon my manners, what do you care for?" He asked; handing the magazine on the table to her.
"Mmm…, I'm not really hungry. A chicken and chips will do." She replied, placing the magazine back on the table.
Edwin called the waiter with the telephone that was on the drawer next to the bed. He relayed his order to him, walked back to his seat afterward; and continued his chat with her.
There was a knock on the door, moments later. "Who is there?" Edwin asked.
"It's the waiter." Answered the voice behind the door.
"Please come in," he ordered.
A young fair guy walked in, with their order in a stainless tray he was carrying. He placed it on the table and walked out afterward.
"I've really missed you, my love," Edwin uttered, placing his hand over hers. He gazed into her eyes, pouting seductively.
"Same here love," she replied blushingly.
"I just feel like having you all to myself." He expressed, giving her a wink.
Angela replied with a warm smile. She had felt so too.
"Alright, let's eat." He suggested.
The atmosphere was painted red with romance as the duo fed each other.
Edwin tried cleaning the grumbles of the chips beside Angela's lips; only for his hand to accidentally hit her wine glass. It fell and spilled the red wine it contained over her dress.
He rushed immediately towards her. Cleaning the mess it had created with his hanky.
"I'm deeply sorry dear, I didn't mean to do this to you." He pleaded, dabbing her soaked dress with his pocket-handkerchief.
"It's fine, you don't need to apologize; it was just an accident," Angela responded.
"Don't worry, I got this." She added, taking his hanky from him to clean the mess herself.
Edwin tried taking it back from her to clean up the mess himself, he had caused it and so, should be the one to clean it up. He dragged it with her, creating room for what seemed to be a love play.
Suddenly, their eyes were locked together. He could see the desire in her eyes.
He landed a passionate kiss on her hot lips. Angela went out of touch with reality. It was just like a dream come true. The euphoric feeling from it made her wrap her arms all over his neck. She wasn't ready to let go.
He carried her to his bosom and put off the white lights; leaving the deemed blue lights on. He walked slowly towards the bed; and laid her gently, lying over her with his lips still glued to hers.
He caressed her neck with warm kisses, while she fondled his back continuously.
Poker by poker, they undressed each other; throwing their clothes and underwear on the tiled floor.
He entered her slowly, knowing fully well that it was her first time. She moaned in pain as he thrusted.
He then pulled out for some seconds, fondling her boobs and neck with his lips. He used his hands to guide himself as he entered into her again; after applying some lubrication.
The bowl of pain she felt, turned into a pot of honey. She was filled with ecstasy. The mannish smell of him, and the feeling of his bare body crashing against hers, made her high.
Suddenly, his thrust fastened, and his heartbeat quickened. She could hear him breathing loudly. His muscles spasmed, making him grip her tightly. His body stiffened for the moment, as he released.
After the deed was done, he gave her a warm kiss on her lips and stared into her eyes. Seeing she had enjoyed every second of it, gladened his heart. He smiled and rolled over to the bed taking in a deep breath.
Angela placed her head on his chest as she caressed the flushed hairs on it, with her fingers.
"Hope you enjoyed it?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her shoulder as he fondled her triceps.
"Yeah, I did." She nodded.
"I love you so much." He uttered with a kiss on her dark hair.
"I love you too," she replied.
She was exhausted, and her eyes began to dim. "Goodnight my love". She added raising her head for a kiss.
Edwin kissed her twice; after which, she laid back in his bosom. "Sweet dreams my love." He added as they both slept off.
As it was dawn, the room was ghost_quit. Only the snore from the duo was heard.
The table contained dirty plates, leftover chips, wine bottles and glasses; and white bones from the devoured chicken.
Their clothes and underwears were still haggard on the floor.
Angela opened her eyes gently, exhaling a huge yawn from her wide-opened mouth.
Seeing that Edwin was still asleep, she reflected on what had happened last night, as she smirked.
Suddenly, her face turned cold, her heart was troubled. Starring at the innocent face of a handsome sleeping Edwin, she pondered;
'How will he feel when I break the news of my forceful union with Leo to him?'
Caressing his forehead, she continued. 'He will be deep dead in sorrow. He might take what happened last night as my way of paying off. I can't afford to see him go through such pain.'
Shallowing that bile down her throat, she continued; 'But I should let him know, knowing that things will get worse if he finds out himself.'
Edwin slowly moved his head to the side. He flinched at the caress of his forehead. Opening his eyes, Angela became tensed. She wasn't ready to break the news. That was the wrong time for him to have woken up.
"Good morning my love, how was your night?" He greeted, exhaling a wide yawn. "Good morning babe, my night was fascinating. She replied. He smiled on hearing much from her, looking straight into her eyes. Angela lowered her jaw immediately; she didn't have the audacity to look him in the eyes. "You seem to be troubled, what's wrong?" He asked. Drawing closer to her, he continued; "Or are you not happy about what happened last night? "No, it's not that," she uttered; shaking her head. "Then what? Talk to me, babe." He demanded, raising her chin with his palm, forcing her to look him in the eyes. His eyes searched hers aimlessly. He could see the nervousness in it. "Talk to me babe, I'm always here for you". He said assuredly. Angela could feel the curiosity radiating out of his tone. Seeing that he wasn't giving up, she decided to break the ice. She sat upright, resting her back on the bedhead. Her jaw clenched, and her eyes were bloodshot; she blinked repeatedly, fighting th
Angela regained her voice after much silence. "Edwin, you know that I can't say no to your proposal. But, I don't think now is the right time for this." She stated. " No Angela now is the right time. Let's be together, now that we still have the chance to keep in touch." He argued, holding her hands firmly, and making strong eye contact with her. "No, you are letting your emotions take the best of you, Edwin." She replied, shaking her head in total dissent. "What happens to your mother after we elope? What about your career? Your seven years in the higher institution? Are you just going to give away all? She questioned. "What is a career without the source of my happiness by my side? I don't mind abandoning my career. He talked like he was struggling to swallow down a still_beating heart. "Please say yes." He said in a whisper; as tears streamed down his cheeks. Angela turned her gaze away from him; facing the window by her left, she whimpered. She freed her hands off his grip
Immediately, two security men walked in."This is him, take him out of my office!" Edwin ordered."Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me!" Leo scolded as the security men tried dragging him out. They stopped suddenly, at his scold."Then be a gentleman, and walk out," Edwin responded.Leo's fist was clenched, and his brows were furrowed. Edwin could see the fire in his intense eye contact."This isn't over yet," he said in a cold voice. Moving closer to Edwin, he continued; "this drum you've beaten, get ready to dance to its tune." He threatened in what seemed to be a whisper."You are too vocalized, just like a woman. Real men don't do the talking, they perform the actions." Edwin replied.As Leo turned to leave, he added; "But note; no matter what you do, you can never end up with Angela. We belong to each other and there is nothing you can do about it. Just like the two faces of a coin, we can never be separated. Get that into your head."Leo turned immediately and snickered
Leo was in his sitting room, watching the ravage caused by the previous night's storm; in a certain rural habitat of the state. He was amazed at how a one-night rain could mount such a disaster. Suddenly, there was a gentle tapping sound emanating from the entryway to his house. "Yes, come in; the door is open!" He shouted. A young gentleman donned a charcoaled face cap, T_shirt; and trousers walked in immediately. "Good day boss." He greeted. "Hope you brought good news?" Leo asked. "Yes, boss." "You can have a seat then," Leo said moving his arm toward the direction of the couch before him. "Thank you, boss." He replied as he sat down. "So what are your findings?" Clearing his throat, he replied; "his name is Dr. Edwin Obinna Will, a 27-year-old from Imo State; Mbaitolu L.G.A to be precise…" Leo dived in suddenly, cutting what he was saying short. "So, he's from the East? Wow!" Nodding his head, he added; "I see... yes, go ahead; you can continue" "Ok, his Dad is l
He dipped the ID card back into his pocket, and smirked."Get ready for me, Edwin." He said as he left.Entering his car, he dialed the mobile number on the card, as it rang."Hello, am I unto Nurse Abigail Etiko?" He asked, staring at the card before him, to confirm if he had called the name rightly."Yes, I'm Nurse Abigail. Please who is speaking?" She asked."I'm Leo, the guy you offered to help get her girl from Edwin at the hospital." He explained."Oh.. The rich pride fellow." She recalled."So have you accepted to work with me then?" She asked."If I haven't, I wouldn't have called." He replied."I can see you haven't changed a bit." She responded."Well, you can meet me at Hard Rock Cafe tommorow by 2pm." She added."Tomorrow? Why not later this evening?" He suggested."My schedule is occupied already. I don't have any free time today. You can as well forget about it, if you aren't going to wait till then." She uttered."Fine…! You win. Tomorrow then by 2pm. 2pm it is, no excu
The next day, Leo couldn't go to the office. He had lost concentration, as the only thing on his mind was to bring Edwin down. He wore an ashed coloured jean trousers and jacket. The colour of the polo he wore inside, was blood and a mixture of the sun. In his spotless canvas, he sat relaxed in his sitting room, gazing at the silver framed rounded wall clock before him. When it was exactly 1pm, he stood up immediately, walked to his car slot, and sped off to Hard Rock Cafe. He arrived there at a half past 1pm. Not having the appetite for anything, he sat down there, waiting patiently for the arrival of Nurse Abigail. Forty-five minutes later, he became restless as there was still no sign of Nurse Abigail coming forth. "Did she just bring me out here to keep me waiting for the whole day?" He asked himself. He then took his mobile phone to call her line, but it wasn't connecting. He became vexed at that moment. His fingers struck lightly on the transparent glass table repeat
Immediately, the door barged open; as if fate had given her another chance.He quickly navigated the caress into an act of removing what seemed to have entered her eye. Abigail played along immediately; in as much as she would have reported him, she knows the consequences of her actions."What's going on here? Edwin demanded, with a surprised gaze at them."It's nothing sir, I.. I.. only helped her to re..remove what had fallen into her eye." The man stuttered."Yes.. yes," she nodded quickly; "it's not what you are thinking." She fidgeted.Edwin scanned her from head to toe with his eyes in total disgust."Then, why do you look so haggard if nothing had happened?" He questioned.She quickly buttoned up her shirt and pulled down her skirt. "I swear, nothing happened. I was just feeling hot that was why I had to dress this way; I only needed fresh air. We were discussing the upcoming project before an insect flew into my eye; he tried helping me out to remove it before you barged in o
Getting to Edwin's office, she took a deep breath and gave a gentle pound on the door before walking in.A great silence followed her as she entered. She was bewildered at how they stared quietly at her as she took some steps toward them."Good day, sir; you sent for me." She uttered nervously."You look edgy, hope you are okay?" Dr. Rey asked.She gave a hesitant glance at Edwin; trying to pinpoint if the question was an act of asking her to explain her actions. She had known Edwin to be a disciplined man; he had never hidden any injurious deed from Dr, Rey."Yes sir, I'm okay." She replied after much thought."Alright, you can have a seat then." He offered.Sitting down, she kept contemplating the reason behind her being summoned. She gave another glance at Edwin whose face went cold at eye contact with her."I know you might be wondering why I called you to Dr. Edwin's office instead of mine." Dr. Ray said after a cleared throat.She nodded immediately.Taking his gaze to Edwin, h
