Love that transcends time and pain…*****Unable to look Belina in the eyes, Martha kept her gaze to the floor.“Martha?” Belina prompted with a perplexed frown.Raising her head, Martha did not bother to mask her emotions as she gazed back at her friend in pleading hopelessness and bleakness.Belina gasped loudly before covering her mouth with her hand.Martha is in love with Tommy and judging from the look of things, it seems she has loved him forever.‘Does that mean Martha has sacrificed her love for me in those days despite loving Tom also?’ Belina could not wrap her head around this.Wondering if Tom was aware of the situation, Belina glanced at him, but from the obvious way in which Tom was lost in his thoughts, it’s obvious he really had no clue. Hopeless man!Taking her gaze back to Martha, Belina raised her brows in silent questioning.“He was my best friend, Belina.” Martha said simply but in reality, she was begging her not to say a word about what she saw in her eyes. To
The beauty of a goddess… *****With the low neckline revealing a well tanned cleavage and the tiny off shoulder sleeve baring her smoothly oiled shoulder and arms to the gaze, it would be hard for any man not to give a second look.And if that man was not strong enough to resist looking below, it would be difficult to ignore Liza’s existence. Not when he saw the way her booty cheeks and hips were enhanced by the dress in a statement that was bold and sexy. Her beauty was not just in the way she was dressed. If you take your eyes above the dress, you would meet another pleasant surprise. There was makeup expertly done on her face. The stylist did so good a job, all you would see was the beauty and the innocence of her eyes. ‘All in all, Liza was a work of arts.’ Mike concluded as he allowed his eyes to go to her feet clad in golden sexy little heels. In her right hand was a dainty looking purse, all golden too and Mike almost cancelled their outing.Almost! But he knew Liza would
Ignore every other distraction… ***** During their meal, he kept her entertained with little talks and funny incidents from his childhood. Liza laughed so hard, her waist hurt but she was happy. Truly happy to know Mike enjoyed a wonderful childhood that was so different from hers. Hearing about his stories gave her hope and satisfaction, because she knew those were the kinds of experiences their kids would also have. The children will have happy memories to share with their partners in future because they will have loving parents like Mike and her who will protect and cherish them while allowing them to act their age. Wiping the side of her mouth with the paper towel, Liza gave a contented sigh. “Filled or you want some cakes?” Mike asked softly with a tender smile. Liza groaned, ready to burst just with the thought of it. “Have some mercy, Mike, I am so full and ready to burst.” Liza told him with a piteous face as the waiter packed away the dishes. Amused, Mike chuckled.
Love can never be blamed… ****** Mike started the car without a word but halfway to the house, his eyes met Liza’s and they both laughed like little children who just escaped a punishment. “Oh Mike, you will not put me in trouble one day.” Liza told him even as she kept laughing. “Me?” Mike was aghast, “I will have you know I had never tried necking in the car since I was sixteen years, but since I fell in love with you, I found myself doing things I would not usually do, so whose fault is that?” Mike asked in an affronted tone. “Ditto nigga. I was a good girl before you came into my life also, so don’t try to place the blame at my door.” Liza refuted calmly. “Then, should we agree the fault belongs to nobody but Love?” Mike’s gaze was soft as he brought the car to a park in front of the house. “Love? Never! Love cannot be at fault. Not when he gave me the best man in the whole world.” Liza denied, unaware they were at home already. “My sentiment exactly.” Mike told her before
The past catching up…******“You…your Dad?” She asked softly even though she knew the answer already.“Yes.” Tom could not say more.“Is everything alright? I mean he isn’t sick is he?” Martha was confused by the tears.“Not in the way you think, he is fine. But he wants me to come home soon, he is missing me badly.” Tom explained in a pained voice that gave proof to his own distress.Unable to bear seeing his pain, Martha ran to him for a hug.Though Belina has forgiven him and she knew he would leave soon despite Belina’s matchmaking this past week, Martha knew there’s no way she would allow him shoulder his pains alone. She would always be there for him, if he allowed her.Holding tight to Martha as she hugged him fiercely, Tom sighed contentedly as he felt the warmth of her embrace.“I miss him, Martha, I miss him so much.” He finally revealed his own thoughts.“I know but soon, everything will be fine and you can go home.” Martha consoled him.Unable to either help his curiosity
Never to be repeated mistake… ***** “Good morning, Martha.” He greeted calmly while a part of him was wondering why she had that sweet smile on her face. ‘Because she has yet to remember what happened last night, you dummy. Just watch the hatred come to her eyes immediately she remembers your taking advantage of her, you beast.’ Frankly telling himself this fact, Tom watched for her expression. “Good morning, Tommy.” Martha called softly, remembering the surprise and pleasure of last night. It had been so beautiful, she had wept into her pillow after Tom slept off. She was just so happy to know he had come to feel the same way about her and he was ready to start all over, with her by his side. Smiling softly, Martha winced when she stood from the bed, feeling some certain soreness between her thighs. She blushed ruthlessly when she remembered how Tom had filled her completely with his cock the previous night. Glancing up presently, she stare at him across the room in a dazed l
Your best moment? Then prove it…******Now, Tom was not shocked, he has long past that stage. He was scared, really scared to see the always smiling and amiable Martha acting this way.Confused as to what to do, he lifted her from the floor and moving to the tiny living room he sat on the chair by the corner, with her in his arms.“Please babe, stop doing this. You will make yourself sick.” Tom consoled but she was not having any of it.“Martha, I’m sorry if last night made you this sad, I would not have done it if I knew it would hurt you this much. I should have known you would not want me after keeping yourself for six years for the man you loved, but I really did not know. We were already on it before you made mentioned of it and now I wish I can undo it.” Tom tried to make her see everything was not his fault but he realised the more he talked, the more she cried.Martha really could not stop crying, Tom was hurting her with his words.‘After telling her casually that last night
A worthy sacrifice…******“How does a woman in love behave my dear Tommy?” Martha asked, extremely amused but trying not to show it.“Well—Em—I don’t know, but I’m definitely sure it’s not the way you are behaving. How can you be so calm after telling me of your feelings? As if the wonderful times we had yesterday and this morning mean nothing to you?” He asked in hurtful tones and Martha finally dropped the phone she was holding to gaze at him.“It is because I have loved you all these years that I can be calm right now, Tom. Loving you without reciprocation has taught me not to have expectations, I simply take what I can get and cherish it.” Her explanation was so reasonable without finger pointing that Tom felt ashamed of himself.To think he had been the one to ignore Martha for her friend, Belina in those days, yet, selfish enough to complain now just because she was not all over him proving her love, made him feel wretched and undeserving.He definitely did not deserve a gem li
