"And just how is he not good for you? In what way exactly?"

"Do I need to state the reasons? For one he is a bad boy, Jane you know bad boys are not good for anyone"

"And the last time I checked, you liked bad boys, besides people change Amaka, Rayford was a bad boy before we met, but look at us now, you shouldn't use people's past to judge them, Amaka"

"But what if, he finds out I can't have children, would he still love me?"

"Amaka, I understand your fear, so I'm going to give you same advice you gave me. Allow yourself to love and be loved, live for the moment, take it one minute at a time"

"So are you saying, I shouldn't tell him I can't have children?"

"No, that's not what I'm saying. You guys just started out, and are still getting to know each other, by the time you are sure it's him you really want, then you can bring up the issue"

"And what if he leaves me?"

"At least you would know, you gave a shot at love"

"I guess I would just take your advice, thanks Jane"

"You are welcome"

"And who could have called my wife this early morning, making her leave me in bed?" Rayford held Jane's waist as he nuzzled her neck, making her to giggle.

"I guess Rayford is awake?" Amaka who was still on the line asked.

"Yes, I have to go now bye"

"Bye, and my regards to Rayford"

Jane ended the call, and turned to face her husband. "Amaka, says hi"

"How is she?" He continued nuzzling Jane's neck.

"She is beginning to fall for your friend's charms"

"Dele?" Rayford raised his head to look at Jane.

"Yup, I think your friend has charmed his way into her heart" she wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Then, that's a good thing. I have long waited to see this happen"

"You sure did teach your friend how to charm a difficult woman"

"Same way I did yours" Rayford hauled her to himself, and carried her back into the room.

"What are you doing Mr. Ademola?"

"How about I show you, instead of telling you, Mrs. Ademola?"

"By all means please do"

By 12noon, Dele was at Amaka's place to pick her up, and they drove to one of the furniture show rooms on the island part of Lagos.

"What do you think of this?" Dele asked Amaka, as they checked out a dining set.

"I love it, it will definitely make eating to be fun"

"Really?, I never thought a dining set could have an impact on how we ate?"

"Of course it does, if you sit on a boring dining to eat, you are guaranteed not to enjoy your meal"

"And I definitely want to enjoy every of my meals, so I'm taking it"

They went over to the chair section, to pick the chairs for Dele's new sitting room.

"Which one would you like?" Dele asked Amaka.

"It's your sitting room, not mine, so which one would you prefer?"

"I would like to see what you like" Dele folded his arms, flashing Amaka a cute smile.

"Hmmmm, if I were to choose, then I would go for this set" Amaka pointed to a cream colored set of couches.

"Why?"

"Aside from the color? Which would give your space a beautiful ambience, come sit on it" Amaka stretched out her hand to Dele, who took it, and followed her to sit on one of the couch.

"Do you feel that? Do you feel how comfortable it feels against your body? Imagine yourself sitting on this couch after a long day's work" Amaka closed her eyes as she spoke.

Dele sat staring at her. "The only picture I can see, is that of you and I, cuddled up on this couch after a long day's work"

Amaka immediately opened her eyes, and sprang to her feet. "I think you should check out other couches"

"Nope, I'm taking this one" Dele said, patting the couch.

When they were done shopping for the furniture, Dele drove Amaka to his apartment, and prepared the spaghetti bolognese she had requested for.

"Ummmmmmm... This. Tastes. So. Nice"

Amaka commended the food as she chewed slowly.

Dele stood watching her as she chewed with her eyes closed, something he has come to notice she always does, if she was enjoying something, or a moment.

"Where did you learn how to cook such delicious spaghetti?" She finally opened her eyes.

"Well, it's hard for me not to know how to, considering the fact that it's one of my restaurant's specials" Dele has over twenty different restaurants, both within and outside of Lagos. It's one of the businesses his parents had left behind.

"So are you saying, you know how to prepare every meal your restaurant serves?"

"Yup, because I actually develop the recipes myself"

"Really? I never knew that"

"Well, now you do"

"So what else, apart from cooking, do you know how to do?" Amaka propped her elbows on the dinning table.

"I also know how to do this" he bent, and brought his face closer to hers, he waited a second, if she was going to push him away, but she didn't. She was calm, staring into his eyes.

He finally closed the gap between them, and kissed her. First it was a chaste kiss, which later deepened, and turned into that of lust.

"I can't do this Dele, I'm sorry" Amaka broke away from the kiss.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that"

"No it's fine, I think I should just go" Amaka stood up.

"Why? You haven't even finished your food, you barely even touched it. If it's because of the kiss, I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again, just don't go, at least stay, and finish your food"

"No, I think I should just go" as Amaka walked past Dele, he held her hand, and drew her back to himself.

"What are you running away from Amaka?"

"You Dele, you"

There was no feeling that could be compared to that, which Rayford felt when he woke up with his wife's naked body, closely pressed against his skin. This was a feeling he was beginning to get addicted to, and it's an addiction, which he wouldn't want to give up.
