Chapter 24

"Good, that means you can have more. Here" Jane took out more to feed him with.

"Babe, could we at least wait until we get home before eating this?" Rayford begged.

"Weren't you the one talking about being famished?"

"Yeah, but I would prefer to eat at home. You know what? I'm no longer hungry let's just go home"

"Well this suya would have been cold by the time we get home"

"There is something called a microwave babe, you will use it. It was bought for reasons like this" he was clearly getting pissed. Jane who wasn't even deterred by his attitude, started to eat her suya as they stood.

"There is a bench over there, let's go sit there" she didn't wait for Rayford's response before she went to where the chair was and sat. Rayford who had no other choice but to follow her, sat with her on the chair. "You are lucky I love you too much to complain" he grumbled as he sat down.

"Then don't" Jane fed him with more suya.

"What's up with the bullying tonight? Did I do something wrong?" He asked out of confusion.

"Hehehehehe....." Jane laughed so hard she had to hold her middle as she laughed, the more she looked at Rayford's frustrated look, the more she laughed.

"What is so funny?"

"You of course, what makes you think I'm trying to punish you for something?"

"Then, why are you doing all these?"

Jane feed him with some suya before she replied his question. "You have shown me your world and all it's glamour, but you are yet to know mine. This is what a part of my world looks like. Buying suya on the streets, watching a romantic movie that makes me cry all through the movie. This is a part of my world Rayford"

Rayford took some of the suya and fed her and then bent to kiss her.

"Is there any other part of your world you would like to show me?"

"Dele I think I'm strong enough to come to the dining and eat" Amaka stood up from the bed.

"Are you sure? I could bring the food to you here"

"If the food you served me earlier is anything to go by, then I would rather eat out of bed, just in case I need to throw up" They both laughed.

"For someone who doesn't know how to make eggs, you sure do know how to make a good yam porridge" Amaka complimented Dele as they sat down on the couch to watch TV after their meal.

"I didn't make that, I actually ordered for it" Dele couldn't cook, even if it was to save his life. While growing up, he never liked anything that had to do with the kitchen. The only time he tried making noodles for his sick sister when they were little, he almost burnt the house down. Ever since then, he hadn't attempted to cook until that morning, when he decided to make eggs for Amaka.

"Oh, I thought as much"

"I'm terrible when it comes to cooking" he looked at Amaka whose focus was on the television. "I'm terrible at so many things, just like I'm terrible at making things right with you"

"What are you talking about? If it's about what happened the last time, you should know I hold no grudge against you. I keep telling you this."

"No, it's not okay, I acted like a douchebag and I am sorry for that"

"Dele it's fine"

"I broke up with my girlfriend"

"I know"

"Really? how did you know?"

"You wouldn't bring me to your house if you both were still together"

"You are right. I'm truly sorry for leading you on the last time. I promise things will be different this time and.."

"Hey, hey.....hold up" Amaka raised her hands to stop him. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by this time, things will be different?"

Dele took Amaka's hand in his, "I would like to date you the proper way Amaka"

Amaka tried to hold her laughter but couldn't, she laughed so hard Dele felt confused. "did I say something wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but I think you have things mixed up here, simply because I had s*x with you a few times or I decided to follow you to your house, doesn't mean I want to date you"

Dele tried his best to hide his hurt. "Amaka I don't understand, I thought the feeling was mutual"

"Then you thought wrong, I will not, and will never date you. I leave first thing in the morning

" Rayford wake up" Jane has been trying to get Rayford to stand up for the past ten minutes but he keeps tossing and changing position instead of standing up.

"Oh God, baby it's Sunday. Allow me to still sleep a little"

"That's why you need to wake up, it's Sunday. We are supposed to be packing for our trip and not sleeping, remember we are traveling this week?"

Rayford turned on his stomach and continued sleeping. Jane pulled out his duvet cover and just then, Rayford pulled her into the bed. Jane shrieked as she fell on him.

"Since you pulled off my cover, you might as give me some warmth"

" Rayford stand up and let's pack our bags for our trip"

Rayford brushed a stray hair out of her face. "Have I told you how beautiful you look this morning?"

"No, but you just did. Now stand up let's pack our bags"

"You look even more sexy when you get all bossy"

" Rayford stop trying to..." Jane wasn't done talking when Rayford turned her unto the bed and covered her body with his.

He kissed her slowly on her lips, making her moan in pleasure. He bit her bottom lips gently and then proceeded to take her right earlobe in his lips and nibbled on it, gently teasing her. Jane forgot about her mission to wake him up as she threw caution to the wind and pulled on his shirt.

He placed his hands under her night gown and caressed her butt and hips.

*Few minutes later*

Jane was in a state of bliss, as she turned to face Rayford who was staring intently at her, as he placed his finger in his mouth and licked it slowly. Jane immediately kissed him to have a taste of herself on his lips.

"Where did you learn to do that?" She asked dreamingly.

"You mean to f**k you incredibly with my fingers?"

Jane who was too ashamed to say the word, nodded her head. Rayford smiled.

"You know you can say the word right? It's f**k" he kept teasing her with his finger. Jane threw her head backwards in pleasure. And as she threw her leg across his lap to give him more access, he withdrew his finger and stood up.

"I think you were waking me to help you pack?"

"What?"

"Get up babe let's start packing, we have a trip to prepare for remember?" Rayford smiled at her as he walked into the bathroom. Leaving Jane lying on the wondering, if Rayford was going to make heaven for leaving her hanging.

*The next day*

"Amaka, don't you think you should rethink this properly? For all you know, things might workout between you two"

"I don't like him. Period! Please let's change the topic"

"You are just trying to run away from the obvious"

"Which is?"

"You love Dele and you know it"

"Keep telling yourself that, abeg talk about something else because this topic is beginning to give me constipation"

"Amaka?" Jane moved closer to her on the bed and held her hands. "I don't want you to make the same mistake I almost made"

"Which is?"

"Fighting love. You like Dele, it's obvious even before he asked you out. Why don't you give yourself a chance to love? I mean, that is what you always tell me"

Amaka sat up on the bed resting her back against the headboard. "You know, if Dele had come to me with this proposal a month ago, I would have jumped at it, but right now my answer is no"

"But why?"

"Because, I'm tired of jumping from one man to the other, hoping to have my void filled by them. I can't continue living like this. I need to learn to be whole being by myself"

Ever since Amaka's heart was broken by Seun, and she lost her pregnancy, all she has ever done was date numerous men. Somehow, she was hoping to find another person who was going to love her and take away all the pains Seun caused her. But instead, each man came with his own pain and heartache. Making Amaka to jump to the next one, and then the next and so the cycle continued. Now she is burned out from dating.
