CROSS ROADS. by kangwa Mambwe

The kiss

I was confused, and shocked who could it be??. I moved closer to the car I wanted to knock on the window. I just heard a voice from the inside.

"get in the car"

What !!! no way . Who are you to tell me what to do.

Nelly !!!! I said get in . he shouted. I didn't want mum to worry so I texted Nick to come outside. Thank God he didn't take long.

yes sis what is it??? he asked has he stood by the gate.

Nick .....am going with Patrick. I think he is not feeling well.

But Nelly you know it's Eve and you have to give the children their presents I can't do it alone and Mum will ask about you.

I know ,I know please Nick you will be fine ,and tell mum I took little Patrick.

Okay take care ...make sure that stupid man is okay and if he tries anything silly call me ,I will find you . said Nick and went back inside the house .

I checked my watch it was 10 minutes to Christmas. Not talking long I open the back door of the car and sat behind.

"Am not your driver" he said with a dark face.

I silently moved to the front seat . As I sat looking through the window.As the car drove I could feel his eyes eating my face. I tried playing with my phone ,he grab my phone. And the car stopped moving, the lights where still on . Come outside without your coat he said. I looked at he with a confused look.... Are you crazy it's dead cold outside. Do want me to freeze to death. He was just looking at me and I knew he was serious.

I avoided his gaze , because his eyes where making me weak and making me long for him. No No I can't face this stupid man and i really don't want to fall him. I went outside and he was sitting on the car with a bottle of wine and a glass.

I stood in front of him. I wanted to shout at him but the look on his face melted my heart. I just looked at him.

Patrick POV

Guy let me take my boy.

No Patrick I know you are upset and the poor girl has nothing to do with it. And you have been drinking the is now a Fourth bottle of wine.

Jim just let me be....it's fine. Get the boy.

Jim went to get my boy I don't know why my heart was boiling up like water,and my temper was hot. I looked through the window and she smiled , she looked beautiful and the little yellow dress was perfect on her body I wanted to see the all dress but she had a brown coat on and some heel brown boost too. She was looking yummy I wanted to hold her ,hug her ,kiss her lips .my anger disappeared I smiled like a fool in my car.

little Patrick was sleeping ,I just called my driver to come pick the boy and Jimmy so that I have some time with the lady . lucky Jimmy understood and left with my driver . I laughed at her reaction after Jimmy got out of the car with little Patrick in his arms and drove away. She came by my window. I acted cold so that she accepts going with me . To my luck she agreed and sat behind ,I was furious that she thinks am her driver in a minute she was with me I looked at her has she sat next to me.

Her perfume reminded me of the first time I held her in my arms and the time I danced with her . I knew a place near her home ,it was a quite open place and had a beautiful view of the sky. I told her to come outside without a coat because I wanted to see her dress on her body.....she looked upset but I cared less I just wanted to see her . She stood in front ,I knew she was about to shout looking at her face but she kept quite. Sit next to me Nelly. I asked softly. Okay she said. I only have one glass of wine have some. l offered.

No thanks why did you bring me here I want to go home. she said.

Am sorry I only wanted a friend on Eve ...let. me take you back .

we were both quite...wait a minute did I just say am sorry ...I thought to myself feeling confused , she saw I was lost in thought.

I felt little warm hands around me I looked at her face ...my brain and heart danced to her breath and the sound of her heart beat all I could think of was kiss her ,kiss her . I was to but the sound of fire crackers brought us back to reality.

she jumped looking at the view ,it looked perfect I knew she would like it . she took some pictures and told me to join her. We took some lovely pics and and some wine together wishing each other a merry Christmas. I started playing music in my car I noticed Jimmy let a blanket which little Patrick was covered in. I took it and spread it nicely on the ground I lay down looking up at the sky it looked beautiful the stars and the moon shined so bright. She join me with her coat on this time, I just smiled.

The song that followed was "photography" by Ed after "my favorite part" .

"We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still"..........she sung it perfectly as I looked in her eyes. after some time I finished the song....

"When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost back on Sixth street

Hearing you whisper through the phone

"Wait for me to come home".........."

she looked sexy and I knew she wants me....I looked away but I still felt her eyes burning my skin.I really couldn't hold it for long I turned to her she was so close to me .I really, tried not to but I couldn't help . I touched her smooth face .She closed her eyes and her lips called mine I couldn't help it any more . Her lips on mine,they felt cold like ice cream slipped on top of her ,her body was cold then I remember I told her to leave her coat in the car I felt bad . I continued the kiss it was nice I moved to her neck her aroma was so good . Has I kissed her nice neck , little moans escaped her lips.
