"How do you feel?" Benhail asked Emery."I don't want to go with you yet. The cot, Mimi's clothes, toys and everything. I don't want to see them for now." "I know and I am not asking you to go with me now. I will give you all the time in the world to heal, but I don't want you to push me away anymore. Let me stay with you, let's pass through this phase together." He intertwined their fingers, staring intently into her eyes. "I got you pregnant, she was our baby."Emery smiled. She had suffered alone all this while, but it felt better now that he was with her."I am sorry I left the house without telling you. I was just so sad, I didn't want to remain in the house. I felt there was no need to stay.""You wouldn't have left if I had been more open about my feelings for you. I stalled, and I regret that because you suffered alone." He kneaded her fingers with his thumb. "But I am here for you if you'll let me stay.""I will let you stay, Benhail." She said sharply. "I will let you stay,
"Why did you bring me here?" Emery asked Benhail when they got to Isabella's restaurant."You have to eat," he replied to her, unclasping her seatbelt after he did his. "Benhail, I am fine." She said, shaking her head."But you haven't left the house in weeks. Don't protest, Lola told me everything.""Oh, I will strangle her," Emery kissed her teeth."I was wondering how you got the address to the house too. No one knew we moved there, so Lola is the culprit, right?" She laughed softly."You won't get mad at her for that, would you?" Benhail asked.Emery shook her head, "She did well, I wanted you to come to visit me and I am glad you came." She smiled at him. He took her hand and squeezed it lightly. "What would you like to eat?""Let's get in and I will make a choice.""Is your appetite back?" He asked teasingly."You are here, Benhail. Everything feels right when you are with me." She stroked his fingers. "Let's go in, I am starving." She said, rubbing her palm against her tummy.
Benhail halted the vehicle when they arrived in front of ANIDE fashion home, he looked at Emery, noticing the nervousness on her face as her eyes darted around the compound. "Are you still unsure about this?" He asked, unclasping the seatbelt. "I thought you've thought about it and we've reached an agreement. What's the fussy face all about?" He sighed, unlocking the door. "Benhail, yes, we have." She smiled, "I am just nervous. You know this is my first time doing this, it makes me nervous to do this, but don't worry, I am summoning the courage to go in there to meet with Anide." He took her hands, "That's why I am here with you, Emery. You don't have to be nervous about anything. I am here for you. Just look at me whenever you are nervous. I am certain my face will give you the courage that you need." He squeezed her hand and kissed the top. "Common, let's go in." He said. His words inspired her, that was all she needed the whole time. She needed someone to look into her eyes and
The house was still the same as Emery left it two months ago. She stood in the centre of the living room, gazing at every part, none was different. "Where is Agnes?" She asked, walking towards a couch, she sat and crossed her legs tiredly. She had been up and running, putting things together for her new fashion brand. "She travelled to see her family," Benhail sat next to Emery. "Her elder sister developed cancer so she's with her." "Oh, sorry about that." Emery shook her head in pity. "Is she coming back soon?". "It's stage four cancer, I don't know if she'd come back. Why did you ask me to bring you here?" "Benhail, it's been a while here." She smiled, "Can I see Mimi's cot?" She asked, praying he had not cleared the room when she was away. "Come with me," Benhail pulled her up and they walked towards the hallway. They halted when they got to a small room very close to the bedroom. "Here," he pulled open the door to the room. Emery's jaw dropped in surprise, she turned back to
Benhail hoisted Emery from the couch, "We are not done here," he whispered as he carried her into the bedroom. "Oh Benhail," she giggled as he carried her in, like a baby. He pressed in the code and the door slid open, he entered inside and lowered her on the bed."You know we were not done there yet, don't you?" He kissed her lips."Maybe I do," she smiled, squirming with want. She just reached her climax but she wanted him again, so badly. "How about I please you this time?" She looked up at him. He gawked at her naked body on his bed, he wanted to drill into her hole again, make her scream his name louder than she did before."You want to touch him?" He asked, pointing at his dangling dick. Emery nodded her head obediently. "Let me see how deep you can take me in. Come here, baby." He gestured to her with his hands.She crawled onto the bed and halted when she got to where he was standing at the edge of the bed. Benhail smiled, he kissed her cheeks and brought her hand closer to
Three months later, Emery had bloomed in her fashion business. She was doing very well, starting as one of the best upcoming fashion brand owners in Texas. She sat in her office, swivelling around on the armchair as she spoke to Benhail; they had scheduled a dinner date later that night and he was telling her what he had planned out for her. She giggled lightly, listening to his deep baritone voice."I have to go now," she said, smiling."I can't wait to see you tonight, I love you," Benhail said."I love you too," she retorted, ending the call and hugging the phone to her chest. They'd been dating for three months now and it felt all new, different and the best she'd ever wanted. She was helplessly in love with him and she was sure he felt the same way for her.She flipped through the document of an upcoming fashion brand that sent a proposal to her brand. Glancing through the pages of the written document, she smiled. She nodded her head and thought of Benhail again, he was the one
Emery cancelled her date with Benhail, she came up with a lie that she had to work with a brand overnight for the runway show to run smoothly the next day, and when Benhail asked where she was working, she had told him that only females were allowed there. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't fathom that easily, she was not the type to lie to him.She checked her phone for calls or texts from Shane but none appeared. She had been waiting for him for more than twenty minutes now and he was yet to show up after he gave a stipulated time for them to meet. She growled, wishing she had another choice. Amery had advised her to go and listen to whatever Shane had to tell her."I see you've been waiting for me," Shame grinned as he walked up to her. He pulled out a chair and sat down. "I have been watching you for a few minutes.""Why did you call me here? I owe you nothing, you know?" Emery glared into his pretty brown eyes."Calm down, Emery." He smiled smugly. "But if you want, you
Emery slammed the door when she entered Benhail's living room, she threw her bag on the couch, pacing the living room."Hey, what's wrong with you?" He caught her hands and steadied her arms within his grasp. "Why are you infuriated?" He asked."Benhail, the models, they just made me so angry right now." She didn't want to tell him about Shane. He was a nobody and he didn't deserve to be discussed."What did they do?" He was concerned. He had never seen her get so mad at someone. So bad, she was pacing the room and muttering cuss words.Emery stared at him, scratching her hair. She wasn't sure what to say to him. She had been lying too much to him. She didn't like that, but that was the only way she could keep him in the dark. She just didn't want to tell him about Shane. He was her past and his history died with her a long time ago."Hey," he led her to the chair, setting her to sit on the couch. "Calm down, okay? Do you want some wine?""That will be better," Emery shook her head. S
