Chapter 52 Desires

Chapter fifty-two
"We must shop on what to wear," she giggled," I can't wait to pick a dress. We must wear the same dress," she supplied innocently.
" And the same hairstyle," I add. I am also curious and looking forward to shopping with this gorgeous lady.
I can't even wait to give Nancy the full list.
"Where do you think we can go?"
I think about it quickly," The beach seems cool"
She nods briefly," We must go crashing!"
" Yeah!" I affirm at the same time she used it and she burst out laughing. I joined too.
The rest of the party went slowly as if I wasn't even part of it. I kept thinking about everything. I should tell mom about Dave too, right? I've kept so much from her. I should split it all out. I've been drinking alcohol while thinking but I still couldn't stop thinking. I didn't even know I could drink so much. The wine tasted so sweet.
"You seemed so much in thought," that voice always awakened thousands of nerves in me. I whirl around and look up at Dave. He's taller, very taller than I am, "Should I pull you closer?" His voice sounds so teasing.
I laugh and look around quickly. Well-wishers are gone already. Just one or two people chatting around.
"Are you coming back to work?"
I shake my head slightly, "No, I'm working for Michael"
He pouts, "But you should work for me. You were working for me, remember?'
"And I was working for Michael before you interrupted us," I combed and smiled at his expression. He looks cute.
" Fine!" He says slowly, dejected," But I can still do this," he says and his eyes sparkle. What's he planning?
Before I could say another, his lips met with mine. I would have fought or kicked his leg to get away but it feels so good kissing Dave Margray. I don't believe I own his heart now. Something girls would kill for.
His hands found around me, pulling me closer to him. I surrender and let him do whatever. His kiss feels like heaven, soft and overcoming. I can kiss him all day.
"We are on our way," a voice said and my heart made a thud. I remember there could be people watching us now, taking our pictures. Dave is a public figure, the news would spread like wildfire in harmattan.
"Let the young lover be. We know the way out," another voice adds teasingly. I recognize it anywhere. It belongs to Michael. I try to pull back but Dave's arm is fully around me. His kiss has deepened and I'm also afraid of it stopping.
I will try again nevertheless. Aren't we supposed to walk them out? What about other people around?
"There's no one in the room now. And we will leave too," Michael's voice reassures in my head and for some reasons unknown to me, I let go of my fears and fully surrender into Dave's touch.
His hands went to my laps and I shiver at his touch. It feels so good too. His hands slowly lift me and gently place me on a soft substance while he's still kissing me.
My eyes feel so sticky. So, I close them and hug Dave so close to me. If this is a dream, I want to be in it forever.
Michael
I feel so much happiness in me watching Jones and Dave. I feel so good about the fact that I'm back with the love of my life. And this wouldn't have been possible without Dave's help. I owe everything to him. Seriously, I do.
"They look good together," Betty says as I drive out of Dave's compound.
I smiled and glanced at her. She looks so beautiful in her dress, "Yes, they do. Just as we are," I say and she smiles and rests her head on the chair. She closes her eyes and I guess she's sleeping.
I know I loved her and I have always loved her.
What happened between me and Jones was just a huge misunderstanding. I love Jones too but not to the extent of getting involved in her romantically. Or so I thought. If Betty hadn't come back, I would have.
Why didn't she reply to me on time? I had always thought about it. She seems to have a huge crush on me but that was the only thing she had for me. That was why she was reluctant. I just didn't think it could be Dave. I mean Dave deserves good things. He's a good man and someone that has been giving me a hard time all this while only because I wanted to settle scores with him. What happened between us was something that shouldn't have happened and I'm glad we are past it now.
I'm glad he helped me find my love. I don't know what would have happened to me if I had lost Betty.
Now, our relationship seems more like a family. Betty has suddenly grown fond of Jones while Dave and I are back as friends.
We even have a picnic to go to next week.
Jeez, I have never been so happy in my life.
I don't ever think Dave would love again after the heartbreak. He seemed so dark and has chosen to believe there's no true love.
I know Jones is a good lady. She will take care of him. So, I know he's in good hands.
I drive the car into my compound. I switch off the engine and look at Betty.
I will never make that mistake again.
I will never stop loving her.
And for Dave, I will always do all in my power to protect him and Jones.
I'm going to pay back all the pains I have caused him by staying loyal to him forever.
Jones
I turn around. This place is very comfortable and soft. My hands move slightly and I realize I'm rubbing a hard chest. What the_
I open my eyes and look at Dave's naked chest.
What happened?
Ok, I remember kissing Dave and Michael telling us that there's no one in the room. Wait! Did we do it? Gosh, I can't even remember anything. I drank so much last night.
I sit up immediately and look at myself. I am wearing my underwear and as if that isn't enough, I discover Dave is only with his boxer shorts.
Dave has to be kidding me!
I scream!
Dave gets up immediately and looks around us. Then, back at me, "Why did you scream like that? It's still morning," he said dreamily and made to go back to sleep. I stopped him halfway.
"I'm going to punch the sleep out of you Dave! What did you do to me?"
He opens his eyes and watches me now," something like?"His eyes were on my boobs
OMG!
What am I in my underwear?
"I'm your boyfriend after all," he says and smiles, admiring my body the more.
I take the blanket and cover myself with it, "Did we do it?"
He raises a brow, "Do what?"
Gosh! I can't believe this is happening to me
"I mean that thing," I'm so shy to even say it
" What?" He went silent for a moment and his eyes suddenly sparkled. His mouth took on a sly smile, "You mean sex?"
Gosh! He's saying it as if it means nothing to him.
I'm going to kill him seriously.
He nods once, "Yes, we did. Didn't you remember? You told me to go faster"
I cup my face in shame. I don't believe this happened without me remembering anything.
I was unconscious, Dave shouldn't have tried it. But he just said I permitted him to.
I stand up and run into the bathroom. I lock the door and look at myself in the mirror there.
How am I going to do it? How should I tell Nancy I had sex the same day I accepted to be Dave Margray's girlfriend. What about people that saw us kiss? Doesn't this mean I am about to become a laughing stock again? I can't believe this is happening to me again.
The knock on the door jots me out of my thoughts forcefully.
"Open the door, Jones," Dave says softly.
I ignore him and drift back to my thoughts.
I can't even imagine I let him see my body the day I accepted him. Doesn't that make me cheap? Why will Dave even have sex with me yesterday? Doesn't that mean he only used me? I don't believe I fell for his sweet words. But he held me so close yesterday and spoke so sincerely.
Gosh! I'm so screwed.
"I'm sorry, Jones. But I will tell you the truth if you can open this door"
What truth is he talking about?
" Jones, please," his voice sounds so serious and there's something in it that forced me to open the door. I look up at him.
He sighs and pulls me into a tight hug, "You were drunk yesterday. Even though I wanted to have sex with you, I wouldn't do it against your wish. So, I didn't do anything. I only wanted to feel you next to me. As your boyfriend, am I not allowed to go that far?" He pulls back and stares at me with so much emotion," You still don't trust me, I can see and I understand but I'm changed"
I hug him now," I was just scared, "I manage to say as my throat suddenly feels dry and patchy.
" I know and I'm going to wait for you to get ready," he pulls back now and smiles, "Do you know your ass is worth dying for?"
I blush and hit him playfully on his arm. He scoops me in his arms," I can't believe I will be doing this with the mighty Jones."
I laugh, "I don't believe the mighty Dave Margray will be doing this to Jones. Will you pull me down so I can go to work?"
" No," he laughs.
Dave!
Can I ever get any happier?
I know that I have always wished and prayed.
And for once, I knew one of my prayers had been fulfilled.
I'm in love with the person that loves me.
Isn't that a blessing?
Dave
"Good morning sir," Kim says as I walk inside the elevator. I should have some appointments today.
I check my wristwatch and it's nine in the morning. I don't believe I'm coming late to work today.
I wouldn't have come anyway if Jones hadn't forced me. I don't believe I'm in love with Jones. I didn't want to accept it either. But it seems love would eventually find its way to me.
I take my seat and look up at Jones. She's standing there with a funny expression on her face. She looks so beautiful, I can remember complimenting her. And then, I couldn't stop myself from telling her I like her. But I was in a process of mending the broken bond between Michael and Betty so that Jones would finally be mine. Now, Jones is mine
A knock sounds on the door. I look up, "Yes, come in"
Kim walks in, "Sir, you have an appointment in two hours"
I sigh. Everywhere is so boring without Jones. I feel like seeing her. I don't even know why she didn't come back here. Gosh, what should I do?
"Sir!" Kim jotted me out of my mind, "are you, ok sir?"
I nod slowly, "yes, I am. What did you say?"
" I just asked you if you will like to go see them in their office or have them come here"
" Let them come here, I'm not in the mood to stress myself today," I say and look up at her. An idea suddenly hit me and a smile evaded my face.
If I miss my Jones, I can always go and see her. Especially now that my relationship with Michael is good.
Wow!
