She seemed dissatisfied with his response, it looked like she expected more, so I added,
"What do you want Jessica pie?" the cute pet name he used made her laugh.
"Nothing much, I thought you were supposed to have accompanied me to see her so that she should know I am not lying__ though I do not always lie to her (all the time)__ at least if she sees you if your presence is felt, mom shall no doubt allow me to go with you to Limbe," she noted.
He understood where she was driving to, and immediately accepted it.
"Alright, lady, I will do as you say, I will accompany you to your house and together, we will ask permission from your mom," he let out.
It made Jessica happy, and he was delighted about how our little gestures could move mountains for others.
"So, are we good now?" he asked staring at her with a toothy smile.
"Nope, not yet," she replied usurping the smile from my face.
"Why cupcake, did I do something to you?" I demanded confusedly.
Her reply was negative putting me in the highest state of confusion.
"No, Adrian, you've not done anything to me," she replied.
"What then is the issue?" he asked leaning towards the table for support.
He needed to hear what she had to say closely, it mattered a lot to me.
Jessica heaved a sigh, and withdrawing her eyes from mine she looked towards the environment, just filling herself with the view of nature.
For once, he looked at his environment to admire it too, he enjoyed its sight, it was pleasant, with the trees blowing fresh wind to my smooth skin. When she hesitated to reply, I called out.
"Jessica pie? please can you look at me?" he demanded.
He felt Jessica grind her teeth and behave like it was the most dangerous task he had asked her to do. She obeyed anyways and looked at me, but her eyes were closed.
"Oh no! When I thought I had almost conquered her attention, she brings another task for me to accomplish,"
For her, this was a joke to her, a sour means of entertainment, she loved punishing me that was why she did her best to always make me undergo too much stress before succeeding.
He had a sweet idea that would make her open her eyes in less than thirty seconds, he decided to go for it then.
"Vanilla? no too extreme, what about butterflies? sounds cool (I said to myself but audibly so that She could partake of my sweet tongue too)"
Her eyes were still closed but she had fine wrinkles on her face which were a result that she was suppressing her laughter.
"Sugar bunch, honey bear, sweetie pie, coffee bug, angel..."
Before he finished naming all the pretty pet names that he had in my head, he had succeeded in causing Megan to erupt with laughter.
Her eyes were opened too as she gazed at me with amazement.
"Oh, my God! I cannot believe you succeeded in making me laugh to the extent of opening my eyes, I was so amazed by that, Kudos! I love all those pet names," she cheered.
He knew that Jessica would love it, with her, it was going to be so easy to trick her, like just telling her some sweet words, and allowing her to do your bindings.
Wondering how easy it was to find your way to her honey pot, the sweet mount Venus that rested between her legs, he needed to know that too, my curiosity was having the best of me.
He slapped me mentally for having my brain drawn away in that direction.
"Yippie! I won, what is my prize, therefore?" he questioned beaming happily.
"Well, I have no choice but to answer your question now, I think you merit it, you did well in making me laugh, you did so well Adrian, I can assure you that," she let out.
They both smiled happily.
Gael and his friend were catching up for the lost time and though it was weird, men seem to bond faster than women. They were talking about everything and nothing and just like that, he had forgotten tag he was even at work. Questioning his friend and asking who the lucky lady in his life is, Gael categorically smiled at him and said,
"It is a long story."
"You can narrate it I have all time," he muttered again while keeping his gaze on the road. Yes, he has the time but Gael did not have that and from all indications, he was running out of time, and with the fear of keeping Yvonne waiting for too long, he decided to suggest to his friend by saying that they were going to have that conversation some other day and he was going to tell him all about it.
Gael was a sly guy and he knew better than say his things anyhow. He continuously kept on checking his wristwatch, hoping not to go be late for his appointment but the traffic that was on the road at that time was crazy so his friend decided that they will take a shortcut to reach his destination.
Yvonne, on the other hand, was seriously waiting for him and counting the minutes, she was getting impatient as time was passing by but Gael was nowhere to be found.
Glenn walked for a few seconds and with a sorrowful countenance, she plunged back to the flashbacks of her mother's happy moments.
"I do not know whether that cough is caused as a result of my question, but please, just endeavor to answer it might save us from some trouble," she mumbled.
Jessica could not understand why Adrian will start coughing immediately after giving attention to her question, it was so heart-wrenching, she would even get mad at him for filling all those stuff in his mom's head and making her think she was attracted to him in that kind of way. Having lost her purity, she did not want anything that could be of offense to her or her partner so she needed to be certain of the things she was doing before opening her mouth to narrate everything that had taken place.
Adrian's silence was even more disheartening, she felt like collapsing after he couldn't offer a word to her.
"Please respond to me, I do not want us to deceive your mom into believing that we are In a relationship whereas we are not. So tell me, do you think I can be good for a relationship with you?" Jessica questioned hitting the table lightly pulling his attention.
His mood immediately changed, his face grew angry as his eyes squinted, she saw a twinge of annoyance in those big white eyes, they seemed menacing.
In a huge voice, a husky one at that, he said threateningly,
"You little wimp, you shut the f**k up, the fact that I talk to you does not give you any right to take things to a higher level up to the extent of hitting the table in my presence. Let this be clear for you that the next time you do such a thing, I wouldn't take it lightly on you," he threatened.
She felt goosebumps creep up her spine, his words were harsh, they were raw, and she found it difficult to believe her eyes about what was displayed before her.
She wasn't going to let this dickhead call her a wimp and go freely not after the trauma that she had gone through and was still going through, he was going to have a taste of my venom too.
"You do not tell me to shut the f**k up, you are not my father, if asking you a simple question will get you worked up because I might be right, you should better kick off, I do not mingle with low live assholes who spent their time pestering ladies around. You know what, I think you should get yourself out of my life," She shouted raising an alarm annoyance tongue fact that she was all wrong about him.
Luckily for her, she had not narrated anything to her so she was not in any danger with her secret. Adrian had this rigid glare, he kept sweeping it over my body.
He thought we were perfect a while ago? what happened to that perfect us that we portrayed so shamelessly? This was so us, Adrian and Jessica that battled every second.
Adrian held her gaze trying to intimidate me, when he couldn't coerce me with his sharp eyes because my eyes were even sharper than his, he decided to use his words to get to me.
With that, he succeeded. In a large unexpected baritone that was heavy, it could make you tremble beneath its words, he said,
"Your sharp viper tongue will surely put you in trouble, if you know what is good for you, better shut your mouth and stay away from trouble, I wouldn't tell you again," he let out.
She wasn't afraid of his words, they did not affect me.
"I know you are going to tell me that again, you have always done so, and you will, so it's not something new," she fired at him.
