LOVE AGAIN

Inside the car , nobody said a word, it was silent for some minutes now. I decided to say something after a few minutes.

“Thanks for the food, I appreciate it”.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He didn’t reply.

Minutes later and a quarter way to my house. He finally said something.

“How did your parents die?” I looked at him, he wasn’t even looking in my direction but facing his front view.

“At sixteen I had a similar dream to the last one, but that time it was a plane crash, my parents were going for their wedding anniversary vacation, I was supposed to leave school the next day, so I had the dream, I was scared, it was so frightening, I told them about it, they said it’s just a dream nothing will happen, I reminded them bout how the dream I had before manifested, but my parents never took me serious, they hugged me and kissed them that maybe because I will miss them and scared of staying home alone… I stopped and sobbed then continued.

“I didn’t try my best to stop them, I should have done something to their car , or lock them in just to save them, they left and never came back, they’re the best parents, the real love I felt, they thought me what real love is all about, when I heard of the plane crash, I almost took my life mourning”.

This time I broke down crying, he didn’t say a word then he stopped the car, I looked around still sobbing , we have reached my place.

“I asked you a question not to tell me your life story”he brutally said to me.

How can someone be so heartless, Pardon me for sharing my story with you. I angrily got out of the car crying, I headed to my house struggling to get the keys out of my bag with my left hand, and sobbing uncontrollably.

I heard his car door slam.

“Valerie!”

I played deaf, whenever I cry I totally ignore any side talks.

“Valerie!” I could hear his fast steps trying to catch up with mine, I tried to hasten my move but my tiny feet won’t beat that tall giant legs of his.

“Val”

To my surprise, he caught me gently by the left arm and pulled me back to him and hugged me.

“I am sorry Val, I was rude to make that statement”.

Now I cried more hearing that, my fingers dogged into his back as I hugged him tighter letting my pains out.

From my parents to my best friend and Luke , everyone I ever loved, I ended up getting hurt in one way or another. I cried more.

“Val…” Prince muttered slowly , he pulled me out and watched me sob uncontrollably, I was looking down ashamed of myself with my arms still on him.

Just then he pinched my chin up so I could look up to him, his blue eyes stared directly into my soul before I could get a hint of it.

His lips sealed mine, my eyes widened in shock, I forgot how to cry again.

I felt my breath caught in my throat, the erotic smell of his perfume filled my nostrils. I was about to give in to the tempting pleasure of returning the kiss, I heard him giving a low groan as the kiss deepened.

His tongue swept into the heat of my mouth. Isn’t this harassment?

Finally he released me, and used a thumb to wipe the last drop of tear from my left eye.

“See, you are no more crying”he smiled softly at me.

He was right, I felt better after the kiss, I kept staring at him then as if I was remote into reality. What just happened!

I pulled back sharply from him, nervous, he too reacted in an awkward way. He tucked his hands in his pocket glancing around at anything around me but not my face.

He must be regretting his actions now. I saw the tears and nose mucus I drew on his shirt while crying, I felt so embarrassed. I quickly brought out a handkerchief to clean it.

“I am so sorry about..”

He stopped me and used his hand towel and cleaned it then looked up at me.

“Take care”.

“You too sir”I replied, my cheeks pink and my heart racing.

I started walking towards my house, slowly, I don’t know why I expected more than just to take care, who goes around kissing people like that.

“One more thing”, He spoke finally and I stopped at a spot but turned around but didn’t look up to his face, I dare not , I will just fall.

“It’s Prince outside the company, what happens outside the office stays outside the office , as soon as you resume work, know your place, that’s if you like your job”.

I nodded in agreement then, I watched him get back to his car, I waited for him to drive off but he didn’t.

I went inside my house , then as if he wanted to make sure I went in and turned the lights on , he started the engine, I looked through the window and watched him drive off.

Slowly I touched my lips with a thumb , I could still feel his lips on mine. I hit my back on the wall and slid down to the floor, my eyes closed and lips opened, a hand on my racing heart.

How will I survive this?

I might have a heart attack, if my heart continues beating this way.
