Wedding Eve Error

Chapter 6

As they walked into the restaurant heads were turning towards their direction, both men and women, Micheal felt so proud that he held her tight. 'They are free to stare, I mean who wouldn’t' he thought to himself. They chatted and laughed while having their dinner, he realized she is not just beautiful but also very smart. They grabbed some ice cream afterwards and headed home around past eight. When they got home, everyone had retired to their rooms, he led her to the door of her room, “I had a good time and a nice laugh” he said. “Me too” she replied shyly. “Thank you for coming into my life” he said as he stared into her eyes, then his eyes landed on her lips. He bent and covered her lips with his. The kiss was so slow, her lips so tender.

He heard a soft moan from her as he continued kissing her. He then set her lips free, but was still cupping face, she looked dazed from the kiss, her first kiss. He kissed her forehead and said “goodnight”. The “goodnight” brought her back to reality, “uh? oh, goodnight” she blushed and rushed into her room. He smiled and was about going into his room when he saw Ray. “Have you been standing there the whole time?” he asked with his brows raised. “What if I have? You guys should be considerate of this single guy while doing this lovey-dovey around the house” he said teasingly while pointing to himself. “Single guy indeed” Micheal scoffed as he walked into his room. He has always known Ray to be a playboy who doesn’t want to be committed to anyone. So him being single is part of his game.

Klara was so happy that she could not sleep, she kept on tossing in bed. Her first kiss felt like everything she imagined. It felt like flowers were about to blossom in her heart, she couldn’t remember when she fell so in love with this man, whether it has been love all the while she thought it was just a crush.

When Klara woke up the next morning, she couldn’t find Micheal, she asked Ray and was told that Micheal left early to visit the site of their current construction project. She tried calling him but he wasn’t answering. She was so bored; the house seemed very lonely like something was missing in it. Of course her man was missing in the house, “my man? Wow..I like the sound of that” she giggled. Micheal returned home late in the afternoon. He peeked into her room and saw her taking a nap. He entered the room, squatted beside her bed and stared at her beautiful face for a while. He could not explain what was happening to him, how his heart could be so sure that she is the one for him. Everything was happening so fast that it marvelled and scared him at the same time. He had never felt this strong connection with any woman before. Just some days ago, he described her as his sister even though he was attracted to her. But now, he can’t imagine her as a sister anymore. She is his woman, the one he has fallen for or so he thought. He stared at her fo a while, kissed her forehead and watched her snuggle her pillows. He smiled and left for his room to take his bath, then he went to the garden afterwards to relax.

When she woke up and noticed his car parked outside, she ran to his room and started knocking. “He is in the garden dear, you must have missed him so much” Mrs Obi said as she came out of her room. She blushed and ran downstairs, then to the garden. Micheal immediately stood when he saw her coming but he didn’t expect that she would hug him so tight. “Do you miss me that much” “of course I did, the house felt empty without you in it” she blurted out before she realised it. She couldn’t hold back how she felt. He held her shoulders, pulled her away so as to look at her face, “I missed you too angel, so very much.” She blinked at him and pouted, “but you didn’t answer any of my calls” “I’m sorry about that, I left my phone in the car that’s why. What can I do to make it up to you?” “Hmm..take me out to somewhere nice.” “With all pleasure ma’am, I have plans of us going out today. It’s my friend’s birthday and I wanted to ask you to go with me so this solves it now.” “Nice, when do we leave, now? Let me go take a shower.” She was about leaving when he drew her back by the waist, “the birthday party can wait, I want to spend some time with my woman.” “Hey, what are you doing? Your parents might see” she whispered. He scoffed, “it’s not as if we are doing anything wrong, I’m just holding you.” “Oh..ok” she said shyly. 'Klara, you are really a novice and it'sannoying' she cursed inwardly.

“Come, sit let’s talk about ourselves, I want to know more about you.” “Ok..what do you want to know?” “For starters, I want to know about your past relationships, you ex-boyfriends and something of such. I already told you everything about mine, so tell me.” Klara was left speechless, she wasn’t expecting that question or more like, she hasn’t thought it a possible question to come by so she didn’t prepare herself for it at all. Past relationships? Ex-boyfriends? The way he asked his question shows he was expecting her to have more than one past relationship and ex-boyfriend. “Klara, babe?” Micheal caressed her shoulders. “Oh yeah, ex-boyfriends? Uhmm..I had one…yeah one ex-boyfriend when I was in medical school” she lied. “So what happened, why did you break up with him.” “He…he cheated that’s why” she lied again. 'Isn't cheating the most common reasons for break up' she thought to herself as she forced a smile. “Oh, I’m so sorry angel, I can see it’s difficult for you to talk about. It’s fine now. I promise never to do that to you or do anything that will cause you pains” he assured her. She smiled and nodded.

She felt so bad for lying to him. 'It wouldn’t hurt to tell him the truth would it? Then why am I lying, It’s so unnecessary, I should come clean to him, I can’t start this relationship on lies. But what if he doesn’t want a virgin, I mean most men don’t want to have anything to do with virgins' she kept on having conflicting thoughts. So she decided to ask him, “can I ask you a question?” “sure babe” he said while looking at her with seriousness “What do you think about virgins?” she blurted out. “Virgins?” he asked “Yes, virgins, like a virgin girl.. I mean lady, a virgin lady or woman” she stuttered. “hmm..” he thought for a while, “are there still grown women that are virgins? Even teenagers are barely one these days” he replied nonchalantly. “So..what if you meet one tomorrow?” she pressed on with her question. He laughed and creased his forehead, “why would I meet a virgin? The possibility of that happening is near to zero, I’m not interested in virgins and I don’t want to meet one, I prefer experienced women. Besides I have you already and I don’t want to meet another, virgin or not. Come on, what’s this talk about virgins?” “Huh? no, nothing, I just remembered a medical case I handled that’s all” she said while swallowing hard.

'Thank goodness I didn’t tell him, it will be difficult convincing him, so it will be better if he experience it himself' she thought. They chatted for a while about other things and went inside the house to get ready for the birthday party.
