CHAPTER 6 Intoxicated.

Laura woke up at 11 AM with a terrible hangover caused by the amount of alcohol she drunk last night. She went to her wardrobe and reached out for one of the drawers where she kept her medicines.

She got a glass of water from the kitchen and popped out two pills in her mouth, swallowing them down with water. When ever she had a hangover, she always regretted drinking too much but last night, she felt the need to do so. After waking up and feeling sober enough, the memories of happened between Frank and herself came to mind in details.

Ding!

It was a messge from Agness.

[ Good morning sunshine, I hope you had a great night with Mr handsome. I am on my way to your house so please cook some nshima, I have a terrible hangover.”

“ I don’t know who is taking care of the other between the two of us .” Laura scoffed as she put down her phone and started to think of what relish would go well with nshima as a hangover meal for lunch.

She opened the fridge and took out a packet of chicken breasts and some vegetables so that she could start cooking. By the time she was done, Agness was already home eager to have a delicious meal cooked by her best friend. Laura dished out the nshima, chicken stew and some fried vegetables to her best friend who sat at the dining table already devouring the food with her eyes before her mouth did the work.

“So how was your night with Frank? Did you manage to eat him up?” Agness asked in a teasing tone as they were both enjoying their meal.

Laura stopped in her movements and pinched the bridge of her nose with her left hand. “It didn’t go as planned, he talked about waiting for me to get emotionally ready for him after almost taking me to cloud nine.”

“ It’s just been two days and he already likes you that much?! Wow! Where did he pick you from again?” I need me a gentleman man like Frank.” Agness was taken aback.

“I am not ready to start anything serious yet but I want to see how long he is willing to wait for me to heal up.”

Once they where done eating, Agness took the plates to the kitchen and washed them all. After she was done, she came to the living room with a bottle of red wine she came with from her wild night and two wine glasses.

“ The best hangover medicine is actually drinking more alcohol after eating nshima.” She poured down the wine in the two wine glasses and gave Laura her glass.

“ As much as I want to stay, I have so much work to do at work tomorrow so I booked a 4 PM flight, are you sure you will be alright all alone? Why don’t you call Jane your favorite cousin to visit you for a few days?” Agness pitied on her friend.

“Don’t worry I’ll be alright, I also have so much work to do tomorrow so at least I will be pretty much busy.”

Agness nodded and gave Laura a hug. “ I love you and please don’t hesitate to call me anytime you want to talk to me. For now, let’s get ready and escort me to the airport before I miss my flight.”

…………

Frank failed to fall asleep after he got back from Laura’s place. His mind was intoxicated with her well being and how much more he wanted to do with her body. He immediately regretted why he didn’t enjoy her to the fullest but he didn’t want to make things complicated for her and much more himself.

Frank had been in a serious relationship 4 months ago and on one fateful day, he got back from work and wanted to surprise Imani with a marriage proposal at her home then take her for dinner to celebrate their engagement.

Frank believed that Imani would accept his proposal since they loved each other so much. He was excited but also nervous about visiting her apartment since he had been contemplating on how he was going to propose to his loved one for a very long time.

“Today is the day I must do it.” He opened the little black box which had a diamond engagement ring in it.

When he reached her place, he felt something was not right as her front door was not locked and a pair of male shoes where laying carelessly on the floor. He walked into the living room and found a pair of jeans that definitely did not belong to him and her panties on the floor.

The volume of the television was very loud so it was evident enough that Imani and her other lover boy did not realize they had some company. He quickly headed to her bedroom door which was slightly opened and was greeted by a musky-sweaty scent and loud moans they were making while busy enjoying the missionary style.

Imani saw him at the door and immediately told her lover boy to stop his actions but before she could grab the sheets and follow Frank, he already stormed out of her house and never came back or wanted to do anything with her ever again.

It took some time for him to heal from the heartbreak and he knew exactly what Laura was passing through. Assuring himself to wait for her is all he could do for the time being but he didn’t know how long it would take to finally have her to himself completely.
