All Chapters of Falling For A Ghost: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Judith closed her book, paying undivided attention to him as he went on about he believes and ideas. Everything about him fascinated her; his voice was like music, soft and whispery. He talked slowly, and every detail of his story seemed to come alive as he spoke, his hands moving to embellish his words. That moment felt right, and she found herself thinking maybe their stars really aligned and this could be destiny.After about an hour into the entertaining and amusing conversation, Tony excused himself, saying he was going for a fellowship somewhere on campus. He stood up, told her he enjoyed their conversation and left after saying goodbye.She tried returning to the novel but couldn't concentrate; the thoughts of Tony clouded her mind. How could he leave just like that? Leave without asking for her contact? Could he have forgotten? If she had made him go crazy as he claimed, how will he leave without her number or means of contact?Deciding

After about two months of getting to know each other, constant chatting, long phone calls, romantic texts, and hand-holding while walking, seeing each other every day out in the open, tight embraces with long goodbyes. He asked her over to his hostel. Without thinking about it, she agreed and it was a date.Some minutes past 5 PM that very day, Judith highlighted out of a taxi, her black hair falling over her shoulders, wearing a red dinner gown. A gift from Julie, her crazy aunty who believes life is short and you get to live once; so better make it count. She hasn't worn the gown before for she felt it was too short and body-gripping, revealing all her curves. But today she is willing to be loosed and nothing is going to hold her back not even virtues or her mother's advice.She looked up at a rock-textured sign saying "Red Pepper Lounge" in bold red letters with a pepper serving as a full stop. It was a two-story building with rails, built like a school. S

She felt his hands moving up and down her legs and stomach. She gasped as she felt him place feather-light touches on the insides of her legs. He smiled into the kiss when she did that. She trailed her fingers down his chest and finally let one rest on his upper thigh.He ended the kiss and trailed warm soft kisses down her neck till he got to her breasts.He took one in his tongue, inter-switching between brushing his tongue and sucked softly. She couldn't help but squirm at the foreign, but pleasurable feeling. He looked up at his lover and saw her lost in delight. He took her other nipple between his fingers, tweaking it hard and she backed her hips feeling his hard rod brushing her bare skin. This only elicited more moans from her. Surprising even herself, she growled and wrapped her legs and arms around his warm body, silently begging for more.Moving on, he kissed his way down to her belly button and her body became tense with pleasure. Soft beards, sm

"Alright, I guess it is my turn"."Yeah".She gave nervous laughter and said, "But you won already. Mine is nothing close to yours"."That's not our agreement. I want to hear yours, talking about it helps. What is troubling you?""Ok" she took a deep breath and began "Five years ago, I met Tony in a library back in my university days and we fell in love. It wasn't quick like in the movies, I took my time to ensure we were truly in love and to the best of my knowledge we were. I gave him everything, my heart, body, and even virginity. It was perfect, why won't it, I was in love. We shared everything, I knew everything about him, met every family member. We were going to get married after NYSC. What a fairy tale?" She paused, emptied the glass, and mashed her face afterwards.Peter, who has been paying undistorted attention, took a sip and asked the barman to refill her drink. He knows she needs to be high to be able to

"Do you want anything?" he asked seeing she was getting ready to sleep and to distort his erotic fantasy."No, thank you" she turned over and pulled the blanket over. "Come and join me, please?""I should join you?" he asked stormed."Yes, I can't sleep alone," she said making a cute face.What kind of heartless bitch is this? He wondered but said "Alright" and joined her under the sheet before whispering "Hope you know you shouldn't be sleeping naked with someone you don't want to have sex with?""Sure" she pulls his hand over her stomach, putting them in a spoon position "But somehow I feel safe with you"."I don't even feel safe with myself" he replied her as both of them erupt into soft laughter."So what are we going to do to take our minds off things?" he asked."I don't know; maybe tell me a story or something?""A story?" he was floored. "What kind of story?"
