Previously on THE BETRAYAL: Episode 16 Male Virgin

...He tried to kiss me again, but I politely pushed his face away, and his expression changed as he looked at me curiously,
“hope I no fall hands by confessing to you” he anxiously asked in pidgin English, while I bursted into laughter, “no dear you didn't” I answered amidst laughter as I equally caressed his face a bit, he kept quiet
and just watched me... “it's just that I have to get going, because I have a school assignment I wish to tackle this evening” I
explained, while he shruggled, “okay but I do feel you are running away from me” he replied, and I breathed deeply, “dear I will return once I'm done with my assignment” I assured him, while he shruggled again,
“it's okay and also remember to bring another plate of rice when coming” he added. I then got up with a smile and left his room??..

I truly had no assignment to do that evening, but I only wanted to be alone for a moment, in order to control and calm myself down, because I didn't want to betray my excitement, moreover his confession really overwhelmed me, because I never dreamt I will be so lucky to have a male virgin, whom I like so much for myself?? “hmmm am I not a lucky girl?” I asked my image as I stared at my mirror with a smile, and just that moment I heard a knock on my door??? I opened my door happily, because I thought it was Amara my best friend who was at my door, because she earlier promised to show up, but my smile quickly disappeared when I saw Darlington standing at the door way??. “hello pretty girl I came to keep you company” he said with a smile as he walked into my room, without even waiting for me to admit him in, while I froze in fear because everyone knew him as a notorious cultist?..

However Darlington really was a very handsome and rich guy, who spoiled himself by belonging to a cult group, and he so much was into it, that he was very popular within and outside the hostel and school environment, and he equally was a
boy who thought the world only revolved around money and cultism?? As he sat on my bed with a smile, I wondered what really brought him to my room, by that time of the day???..

To be continued?..
