Shadow Of Love

Episode 52

He left and William came back to sitting where he was.

William: So?

Me: Actually, I’m here to have fun, spend time with you guys before I leave. Don’t kill it.

William: Hhmm. I know its about Tobe and Claire, but don’t you think Claire deserves to know the truth? You can’t….

Me: William, enough please.

William: Why?

Me: Because I said it’s enough. I don’t want to tell her.

I stood up and he followed suit.

Me: I gave him loyalty, my virginity, commitment, what have you? I told my parents about him, my friends, he was my life, my joy, what did I do wrong? I understand that sometimes, men love to try out something new, but when he saw her picture, why didn’t he tell me? Why didn’t he open up to me? Instead, he was looking for when he’ll come and continue from where he stopped. He lied to me, what was my crime?

I wiped my tear and nodded like it was going to give me the answers I needed.

Me: William, don’t make me cry anymore by reminding me of things I’m trying to forget.

He walked closer to me and held my shoulders, his eyes, damp like he was going to cry.

William: I’m sorry baby. I didn’t mean to say things that’ll hurt you but I…..

Me: It’s okay Will, let’s stop talking about it. It’s part of the lessons life has taught me. Let’s sit down.

We sat down and he picked up the remote but I took it from him.

Will: You want me to keep staring at you all day and loose my sanity?

Me: No. We’ll do more than that. You’ve got drinks right?

He nodded and stared at me, as if wanting to decipher where I was getting to.

Me: Fine. We’ll play truth or dare. You know how it’s done right?

William: No way. You’re not a drinker babe and I won’t let you do that.

Me: Don’t be a kill joy Will. Besides, you’re here to help if I start going overboard. Please.

William: Alright. Half shot for you then.

Me: Cool.

He stood up and left for the bar, returning with a drink in a transparent glass.

The game began and sooner than expected, I was tipsy, drinking each time I was asked to pull off, because I knew I had nothing underneath. William was also left in his boxer and nothing else.

William: You don’t want me to see those titties of yours right?

Me: Hmmm. After the game, if you ask politely, I may just reconsider.

William: Then I quit. Let’s take this party to the bedroom.

Ladies, ever gotten drunk? Or even a little tipsy? What feeling do you have down there? I knew it was wrong but hell, I wasn’t going to let this burning consume me. I wanted a man, and since Tobe isn’t available, I’ll have to make do with William. Don’t call me desperate, or sick, I’m just trying to satisfy my flesh. Ask me when I started using people cause I’m also surprised that I’m doing this.

I stood up and let him run his eyes over me. I pushed him down to the couch and gave him a look I thought to be sultry. I sat on his legs and started grinding to a music playing in my head alone and I felt his erection poking my butt0ckz.

I stood up, turned around and removed my baggy top before turning to face him again. I saw his jaw drop as he stared lustfully at my breasts whose tips were now very pointed. He stood up immediately and carried me into his bedroom. I won’t regret this. It was just for tonight anyways.

I woke up in his bed with a very heavy headache. He was sleeping peacefully with a light snore. I checked the time, it was 2:05am. I picked a towel, wore my short and walked into the sitting room where I hoped to see my top. Leonard was sitting, watching football. He smiled at me and I sat down beside him.

Me: Do you have pain killers in this house? My head is banging.

Leonard: I’ll be right back.

He left and came back shortly with panadol and a glass of water which I took immediately

Me: Thank you.

Leonard: You’re welcome.

Me: Shouldn’t you be asleep right now?

Leonard: I missed this match yesterday so I’m trying to catch up. Tell me, are you two now a couple?

Me: Who?

Leonard: William of course.

Me: Please.

I picked up my top, wore it and removed the towel, dumping it on a cushion.

Me: My house needs me. See you later Leonard.

He watched me leave the house with shock written all over his face but I cared less. A new chapter is beginning today and I don’t plan to include any man in it, not yet.

I used that time to pack in everything I had left into my car before coming back and crashing on the floor in what used to be my classy sitting room. Then, as early as 5:30, I was on my way to Monarch, my new abode. And the only people in this new chapter of my life were Lois, Vanessa and Cynthia. Once everywhere was clear, I’ll be getting a new sim card. It won’t be easy for me, I know but what’s life without chances?
