....“Yes my dear, I speak with experience, the best you can do for yourself is to follow your heart, allow it to be the Judge.
Marriage is not something built on pity nor sympathy, but something built on solid love.
Please dear let my words not look as if I'm rushing you. There is still enough time for you to think over everything. I have your phone number, so reaching you won't be a problem, but just know that if you should accept my son, we will quickly arrange the marriage ceremony in no time” she concluded with a smile, leaving me totally lost and confused.
The heavy rain finally stopped around 6:15PM messing up the road and making it very un-motorable. I was stranded.
“Our road wasn't this bad last raining season. It's as a result of the red soil poured on it by the contractors handling the construction” Mike explained as we stood outside minutes later.
I had insisted on leaving after the rain stopped, declining his mother's pleas for me to sleep over, but looking at the road I knew I wasn't going anywhere that fateful sunday evening.
8:45pm, His mum gave me an old lovely pink night wear which I really didn't know where she got it from. I thanked her, took my night bath and relaxed in the guest room.
I was swiftly carried away by my thoughts as soon as I laid down, that I never noticed when Mike came into the room, nor when he sat on the bed.
“Hey Cyndi” he greeted. I instantly sat up and stared at him suspiciously. “I will be heading straight to town as early as 5AM tomorrow because of my work, hope you can wake up by that time? So I could drop you at your lodge, before going for my own business, though it all depends on our road.
Let's just pray the road gets a bit dry before dawn” he said calmly, but before I could reply, a heavy thunder went through instantly jolting us. Rain started dropping on the roof once again. “Oops” he exclaimed, while I smiled, even though I had no reason to do so.
Before I knew what was happening, his lips were on mine, hungrily devouring what they had waited so long to taste. I unknowingly surrendered completely to the torrent of my own voracious longing, arching my back in ecstatic submission,
But I soon got hold of myself and in the dim light of the room, tore his mouth away from mine just as a spectacular flash of lightning illuminated his face. His expression was tortured, haunted and lost.
“We shouldn't be doing this, I'm sorry” I murmured, but he only muttered three words before his mouth crashed down onto mine once again. “I want you” he breathed.
He kissed me intently, shrugging off his top in the process before expertly tugging down my night wear over my knees.
He broke the kiss and drank in the sight of my slender body,
A sharp shock of ecstasy quivered through me. “Oh I had forgotten how good he was A high, keening sound of longing echoed through me, making him raise his head and look into my eyes. Under the dim light, his face was calm, mask-like and inscrutable.
I knew in few seconds I would be totally lost, doing something I might end up regretting for the rest of my life, but the intense need in me overwhelmed and left me with a naked vulnerability that made adrenalin surge within us.
In one swift movement, he slept with me without a cöndom.

Minutes Later, we silently laid beside each other, totally exhausted and weak, his head resting lightly against the silken pillow, while one hand softly caressed the hollow of my waist. Finally the sense of deep peace that overtook us, quickly began ebbing away. The implications of what had happened hit home and slapped me intensely. A tide of guilt and self loathing swept throuh me. I have Betrayed Benjamin I sobbed.
