Previously on THE BETRAYAL: Episode 69 The Worst is About to Happen
....I opened the door for Mike who slowly entered my room, gasped with surprise as his eyes fell on Amara and Chike. He stared at Chike longer than necessary before forcing out a smile and shaking him {in greeting}.
I nervously breathed deeply, while Amara's face coloured up with tension. We were all uncomfortable.
To ease up tension, I walked up to Mike and held his waist. My action calmed him a great deal, but made Amara give me a weird look while Chike looked away, focusing his attention back on the book he was holding.
“How was work?” I asked him. “Stressful, I came running here as soon as we closed for the day” he replied with a calm smile.
“I have to get going, it's getting late” Chike instantly announced, stood and nodded at Amara who dutifully stood and held him.
“I'm leaving with him dear, you know we came together” she smiled. I shrugged and nodded.
“I will get some Romance novels for you tomorrow” Chike added, giving Mike a nervous glance. “I won't be around tomorrow, I will be travelling home” I replied. “Okay by next week then, safe journey in advance” he laughed and left with Amara.
“Hmmm you know this is how it all starts, I don't want to see that guy ever in your room or with you anywhere” Mike said seriously, annoying me with his words. I broke free from him, went to my door and locked it.
“I really do care about you very well, you may not notice what is happening, but that guy is trying to force his way into your life” he lectured. “Enough please” I shouted angrily, “please learn how to check what you say, you are getting me angry” I warned and backed him.
He drew close to me, gently held my shoulders and caressed them softly. My hormones awoke, much to my dismay.
His touch melted my heart and weakened me.
It really has been long I last had sex. My nipples rose and grew hard, my head overflowed with cravings. Calmly he drew closer, resting his chest on my back. I felt his heartbeat.
“My heart, my queen” he moaned, turning me to face him. We stared at each other, I saw deep passion in his eyes. I was lost, I was captivated, my feelings ran wild. I wanted sex, I wanted it hot and quick.
Bringing down his lips, he kissed me softly.
My heart was with him, my body was his, but suddenly I felt something strange engulfed me. I felt nauseous, I felt sick.
The fearful feelings I had when I got the news of Dad's accident returned. It appeared as if the evil wind of misfortune was back in my room.
I broke free from him and covered my face with my palms. “What's wrong my dear?” he asked. “I'm scared, really really scared” I confessed. He smiled and hugged me reassuringly, murmuring sweet words of reassurance into my ears.
I loved him very much, I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, but I felt something wasn't just right, something I couldn't fathom. “I think it's better we keep our feelings and body in check, at least till you sort out your relationship with Stella.
Let's give each other a little break please” I heard myself beg, but my words had a terrible effect on him. For a minute he couldn't say anything. “Is it necessary dear?, I hope it's not because of that guy who just left here that you are asking for us to give each other a break?” he asked seriously, upsetting me with his presumptuous question.
I violently pushed him. I felt insulted and humiliated. “Perhaps to him I can have feelings for any guy who happened to show interest in me. “Am I that cheap in his eyes?” I wondered with disgust.
