I felt better, got dressed and came out. He was sitting on the only long cushion in the room.

“Maybe you should go to sleep now Becca. I will just relax on this chair for the night.

I turned in shock and looked at him, I did not even think of where he will sleep because I thought the bed was big enough for us. But there was no way I will let him sleep on that cushion. I will rather sleep there and he will have the bed.

“The bed is big enough for us Ohio. I understand this is not how you planned it and being on same bed with a woman who is not in any way your wife or girlfriend. Is awkward. But I will rather be on that chair and give you the whole bed…instead of watching you sleep there. You have suffered enough humiliation already, I will not add to it. Ohio you said that you will do whatever that will make me happy…please come to the bed. It will make me happy…. please.

He tries to argue his way out but I did not let him.

He obliged, stood and went to the bathroom first got refreshed, after sometime he came out in his night wear and came to sit beside me on the bed.

He first sat on the edge of the bed for some time, it was almost 11:30pm when I looked up at the time.

If not for the minor crash with Melinda, we would still be outside telling our stories with our parents.

Ohio will be leaving tomorrow afternoon or evening and I will miss him but he has done what no friend can do for me by being here and playing all along like an ordinary man.

“We will be going back tomorrow, I just can’t stop thanking you for everything. Thank you very much and I sincere apologise for all the trouble.

He looked over at me and nodded without a word. He moved closer to me and I hope this time around he will really kiss me.

He stare down at me, and I wondered what he was waiting for. If he wants to kiss me then he should go right ahead and do so. I have being expecting it for long.

But instead of the kiss, all he did was to look me in the eyes, pecked my fore head and said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go to bed Becca, goodnight. I will watch news, check few channels before sleeping.

What kind of goodnight is this without the main kiss? My emotions was willing up and maybe I should make the first move but what if he turns me down.

I hope he doesn’t. He was about getting up to pick up the television remote when I pulled him closer.

I guess he was shocked at my action or he saw it coming. he didn’t move away as he drew closer to me.

i kissed him slowly at first and he did not respond immediately. I was thinking maybe he doesn’t like me or he was trying to keep being faithful to his “Lili” but he later responded.

He gently kissed me back like I have always wanted. He did not go tearing at my clothes or pushing me to the bed. It was a slow but steady kiss. His lips was undeniable warm and inviting. It was one of the sweetest kisses I ever had.

I put my hand beneath his shirt and try to unbutton his top, he moan my name at first and suddenly stopped my hand from going further.

I try to start with myself, by trying to pull off my night wears as our lips remain locked.

i was almost removing all my cloths when he stopped me mid-way and moved away from me, panting like a man who ran a marathon.

I was breathless not wanting the moment to end. I don’t want him to stop, I try to make him continue the kiss but he stopped me again taking my two hands into his.

“Becca…Becca. Please…stop. I’m sorry…sorry! I love you Becca…I have always loved you.

I understand what was going on, I guess he was under the influence of the hot kiss and the cool moment we were about to have.

“Are you listening to me? I said I love you Becca and I mean every word of it…. please marry me. Will you? Please…be my wife?

I thought his head was not clear. But he seem to mean every word.

What if I agreed to marry him and we cuddle up and had our deep pleasure all through the night, he later wakes up tomorrow morning and can’t remember even saying he loves me.

I ignored him, still wanting him to come to bed with me but he was on his feet.

“Becca, I guess is better we talk when your head is clear. Maybe you should just sleep. I think that cushion will do me lots of good. Please don’t argue over that. If I feel tired I will come to bed. Go and sleep Becca…I will watch the television for some time before sleeping. Goodnight.

He walked away, went to the fridge, took a chilled bottle water and drank deeply. He went straight to the cushion, stretched out with remote control in his hand and started changing channels.

I was almost crying or even going over to the cushion to prove how much I wanted him but I have disgraced myself enough. It will be better to beg sleep to come, so that I can sleep and forget about the kiss or to remember that i try to naked him and also myself just to get laid but he refused all attempt.

I wonder what kind of man will refuse a woman who shamelessly showed how much she wanted him.

He stopped me and started saying he love me and asked me to marry him of which I did not take serious and instead of him to grab the giving opportunity and get into bed with me, he decided to walk away from me.

I roll from end to end since I was the only one on the bed. I was awake for hours thinking of how I humiliated myself in front of Ohio.

Ohio’s eyes where shut, the television was showing music. The time was already 2am. I guess he was already asleep.

I kept rolling until sleep came and I slept off till the following morning. The sunlight greeted my face when I woke up.

The first thing I remembered was the fight with Melinda and then I remembered how I disgraced myself last night in front of Ohio.

Shame and fear cripped in.

I did not know how to face Ohio after last night.

He cleared his voice loudly to announce his presence. When I turned and saw him, he was all dressed and has ordered breakfast for me in bed.

I looked at the time, it was almost 9am in the morning. I saw the tray of breakfast beside the bed and Ohio stood staring down at me. He was all dressed in a jean and a colourful Tshirt.

I couldn’t even look at his face when I remembered last night and he was trying to make me comfortable with his smile but I still feel cold inside.

“Good morning beautiful. Your Dad called to check up earlier. They want to know how you are doing and I told them that you are still sleeping. We will have some more fun before driving back home. So eat some breakfast…get refreshed, dress up and let’s join your parents for some coconut and sun bath. I hope you are with your sun shade…if not then you will have to use mine.

He did not mention about anything that happened last night. I hope he will never mention it because I will feel humiliated. I try to reply with a nod of head as I went to the bathroom to do every necessary. I also had my bath. I came out all dressed and had a small bite from the served breakfast before stepping out with him in silent.

I saw my parents relaxing at the beach house with a coconut drink beside them but Melinda and Cole were not there.

I greeted my parents and I apologized to them for ruining the fun night. They were not blaming me for anything but Melinda who started it all.

I told them I shared in the mess too and not just Melinda.

I wanted to ask about Melinda and Cole but waved it off. I sat beside my Mom, Ohio handed me his sun shade but I rejected it and told him that I was fine. He later brought a coconut water with a straw in it, I drank little out of it before excusing myself from them.

I left Ohio with my Dad and Mom and went slowly to check on Melinda and Cole.
