[NARRATED]
‘“How about a round of drinks? Nothing hectic” Said the man who wanted to bed me again’ Kago jests as Mac pulls the condom off his length with a sneaky smile on his face.
‘Why are you speaking like you didn’t want to bed me too?’
‘Well…’ she continues to smile and laugh. He gets rid of the used rubber and comes to cuddle her from behind.
‘After all that exercise, you must be starving. Should we order room service?’ he asks, nibbling on her ear.
‘Mac, don’t do this. I catch feelings very easily nna’ she finds her way out his warm hands.
‘And what’s so wrong with that?’
‘You’re not my type’
‘If I’m not then you won’t catch any. Relax’ he pulls her back into his hold. She giggles and gives up the fight.
‘You like telling me to relax’
‘If you must know, you are my type even though I’m not yours’
‘And what is your type?’
‘Mildly explained, I’d say… what’s that phrase? Lady in the streets, freak in the sheets? Something along those lines’
She laughs, seductively. ‘So you think I’m a freak?’
‘You’re quite a sport in bed. It’s addictive’
‘As I said, you don’t seem like the type to commit so let’s stop having this conversation. I’m enjoying whatever it is we’re doing right now, even though it’ll be short-lived’
‘Those are the best kind of memories’
‘What? Short-lived ones?’
He nods over her shoulder. They continue to speak while his arms are wrapped around her.
‘I’m still mad at you for the stunt you pulled in your mother’s house’
‘You’ll suffer a stroke if you hold grudges. Nothing in this life is ever that deep’
‘Nothing?’
‘I did not stutter’
‘Even funerals? Death?’
‘They’re inevitable’
‘Who traumatized you?’
He laughs at this question.
‘Now I’m traumatized?’
‘Okay humour me here. What’s your personal take on relationships?’
‘Uhm… I don’t know. The flow always decides where it goes, I guess’ he grabs the phone to order a platter and some champagne.
‘I don’t understand’ she says when he’s done and he pulls her back into his arms.
‘Kago, I can be anything you want me to be. If you want flowers and chocolate, I can easily get those for you. If you only want sexual benefits from me, I can also easily detach’
‘Just not a husband?’
‘Yes ma’am. And where is that coming from?’
‘A man your age should be married by now. There’s nothing stopping you’
‘I don’t think I’d make a good one. I’ve been accused of being a workaholic and bad communicator on multiple occasions by different people. And you?’
‘Playa. People change for who they love’ she laughs.
‘Here we go again. I really am not. I can’t focus on more than one person at a time, it would drive me insane’
‘What about me?’
‘Take on love and relationships?’
‘I’m not even going to lie. I’m a lover who enjoys being a gone girl. A hopeless romantic, always getting my heart broken’
They both laugh at her statement.
‘Maybe you open up your heart to soon to the wrong people’
She just shrugs and sighs.
‘And I agree. People really do change for who they love’ he breaks the silence.
‘I know, even workaholics can choose to go home to bomb a** pvssy and fire personality’
‘Are you trying to tell this particular workaholic something?’ he asks, failing to tame the smile on his face.
‘Nothing at all, just making conversation. Do you have children?’ she disregards the whole chat and changes the topic.
‘Nope’
‘Why?’
‘If I am to have little me’s running around, I need to create a stable environment for them first’
‘So what you’re saying is no wife, no kids?’
‘Exactly that. Don’t you agree?’
‘Ah. This life is unpredictable. I personally have given up on the idea of marriage but I still want to have kids of my own. I believe I can give them that environment by myself’
‘Raising kids isn’t only about financial support. They need both a maternal and a paternal presence’
‘I get that but I feel like marriage is overrated. Co-parenting also works’
‘No kid of mine will be living in two different houses at different times’
‘And I respect your view. Please respect mine as well’
‘What happens if I don’t?’ he squeezes her naked bvtt while kissing her exposed shoulder. She turns around and he gets on top of her.
‘Even if you disagree, it won’t change the price of bread’ she answers and he laughs into her mouth. The food arrives and they both ignore the knock as the foreplay gets heated. The persistence of the person at the door kills the mood and Kago is the one to get out of bed. She grabs an oversized robe and covers her naked body on her way to the door.
‘Hi. How are you? I’m sorry. I was taking a nap’
Mac silently laughs at the blatant lie she’s telling. She wheels the tray in and rushes back to bed. The robe ends up on the floor.
‘Where were we?’ she asks and Mac is more than glad to receive her. After rolling another condom on, he enters and watches as she closes her eyes and slightly opens her mouth – feeling him disappear into her canal and rubbing her in all the right places. He stops moving and kisses her.
‘You said your leave is for two weeks, right?’
She nods.
‘Don’t you want to do some sightseeing in the UK next week? All expenses paid of course. I know someone at the embassy who can speed up the VISA process’
This takes her by surprise.
‘Uhm… you want me to come with you?’
He pecks her lips. ‘I actually do. I THINK I’m gonna miss you and the thought of that is punching me in the gut’
She laughs.
‘If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re the one who has caught feelings, Mr’
‘I wouldn’t take it that far. Let’s just say…I enjoy your company’
She narrows her eyes at him – still housing his manhood in her vxgina.
‘Are you coming or nah?’
‘I can’t. My cousin needs me’
‘It doesn’t seem that way otherwise you wouldn’t be here with me. The same way she’s with Kurhula right now’
‘You don’t understand and I can’t believe I’m talking about Larona with your dxck inside me’
He pushes more inches in with a straight face and she laughs.
‘Make me understand’
‘She’s hurting right now and I know I need to give her space. She behaves like an armadillo when her heart is broken. She rolls in a ball and shuts everyone out but that doesn’t change the fact that I still need to be here for her’
‘You really love her, hey?’
‘Love is an understatement. That girl is my heartbeat’
‘I hear you, gone girl’
She rolls her eyes, with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
‘But my offer still stands. You have my number. Should you ever decide that SA is too much, don’t be afraid to hit me up’
‘Don’t wait on me though. I might meet someone else while you’re gone’
‘Even if I wanted to, I have more important stuff to do’
‘Such a prick! Do you think before you speak or do you just ahhh…’
He starts moving and shuts her up with a kiss.
‘Do I just what?’
She doesn’t answer.
‘And if you eventually decide to come, bring this attitude with or don’t come at all’
She laughs and wraps her fingers around his head.
‘Shut up. You’re interrupting the tempo of my orgasm’
‘The devil in my head is tempting me to pull out’
She starts doing kegel exercises around his erection and enjoys the sight of him losing his mind.
‘Who’s more powerful between that devil and me?’ she continues squeezing the life out of his dxck.
‘I don’t think he stands a chance here’ he whispers into her ear and they continue fvcking while holding hands. After they both reach cloud nine, he gets off her and makes her lie on his chest.
‘If this is the apple that apparently made Abraham turn against God’s command, I genuinely do not blame the man’
This catches her off guard and she laughs out loud.
‘You pretend to be a quiet goody two shoes in front of people whereas you’re such an idiot! And it’s Adam. You should read your bible’
‘I’m a Sunday school drop-out and that was the last time I held one in my hands, if you must know’
‘Well I’m taking you to church when I arrive in Edinburgh’
‘Is that you confirming that you’re gonna come?’ he asks, calmly playing with her messy hair.
‘It’s a possibility, not a definite’
‘I can work with that’
‘Good. When is your flight back?’
‘Tonight’
The smile slowly disappears off her face.
‘Oh…’
‘Are you accompanying me to the airport?’
‘No. I need a shower’ she pulls one of the sheets, gets out of bed and covers herself.
‘Did I say something wrong?’
She shakes her head and walks to the en suite. He springs out of bed and goes to stand in front of her in his nakedness.
‘I can see that you’re upset but I don’t understand why. If I said something wrong, tell me so I can apologize. I don’t read minds Kago’
‘I said I’m fine!’
She leaves him there – covered in confusion.
