Chapter twenty-four.

The couple walked out of the pub after receiving their orders. But the way Anna was clinging on Liam's arm, one would think that she was some kind of a cold mouse looking for warmth. They walked in silence till they reached home. They gave one packed plate of chips and chicken to Fiona. Fiona thanked them for their generosity and gave them the basked of clothes she had washed.

Liam gentlemanly opened the door as usual and carried everything inside. Anna switched off the light instead and then grabbed Liam's neck for a kiss. She wanted them to make love in darkness as it would feel so romantic.

"So impatient, huh?" Liam asked, smiling on her lips. "You've already forgotten about the revenge?"

Anna halted, she retreated and ran to bed in hopes of carrying on with her forgotten revenge but Liam joined her on bed in a flash's speed and climbed on top of her.

"You ain't gonna leave me hanging ma'am, alright?" He said and bit on her cleavage.

"AHH!" She let out a long moan but then giggled, "Papi, stop"

"That's not enough, plead one more time!" Liam said, playfully bitting her all over her chest and neck.

"Please, Mr Liam Salvatore! Abeg o!" Anna said amidst giggles.

"A what?" He asked laughing out loud, "You beg oh? You turned into a Nigerian now?"

Anna laughed hard, "Ah ah! God forbid, you no go kill me o. Chaii, dis boy! Wahala!"

Liam laughed hard and deep that he clutched his stomach, he laughed till he fell off the bed. Anna couldn't stop either.

"Oga, good for you!" She said after sometime, "You dey dem play wit igwe's daughter?"

"Stop, Belle. Stop!" Liam was the one pleading now. His eyes had watered from much laughing. Anna hopped off the bed and joined him on the floor, still giggling.

"How did you learn all that from? Bro! Your so iconic" He said trying to stop laughing.

"Through their movies" She shrugged, "I used to watch theirs and Ghanaian movies when I had relocated from village to here."

"What did you like on them ?" He asked, staring at a few light rays from outside lights on the ceiling.

"I just used to love their two actors; Van vicker and Ramsey Noah."

"Only male, huh?" He asked, "Don't tell me that you were crushing on them like you did on Justin Bieber?"

Her eyes widened in surprise, 'How did he know about Justin, though?'

"So it's true?" Liam said lifting his body, he laid on his sides, his elbow supporting his weight. He lifted her blouse and his fingers started playing slowly on her lower tummy.

Anna took in a sharp inhale.

"How dare you crush on them and not me?" He said inserting his hand inside her skirt then lightly pulling on her pubic hair.

Anna hissed, "It was before I met you, your majesty!"

"Hmm! That's satisfying" He said moving his fingers into her cotton soft folds. He gently pulled one of her labia minora then the other. They were soaked and slippery.

"Ah huh!" She moaned tightening her legs.

"Open your legs my love" He commanded.

Anna did what she was told, all the feeling she had been feeling at the bar multiplied a thousand times. Her nerves weakening at the sensation.

Liam got rid of both their lower garments in an instance. He stretched his arm and grabbed the packet full of condoms and applied it on. With no need of more foreplay as they had already been lit, he entered her.

"Ouch!" Anna hissed, "Baby, your thing is big"

"Is it sweet?" Liam asked, his mouth near her ear.

"More than sweet, yeah...oh!" She said amidst whimpers.

"Won't the floor hurt your back?"

"Uh hmm" she shook her head, "The carpet is fluffy enough"

"You smell like lilies in the garden of Eden. "He whispered in her ears. "Your juice is sweeter than water in Sahara desert. Let me hear your magical voice my love, my itching ears are dying to hear it."

Anna threw her head on either sides in double pleasure. "You're killing me, my king , I can't breathe."

"I don't minding sharing my oxygen because without you, all I inhale is carbondioxide." Liam said thrusting deep inside her. "My secret garden, my private spring, my life flourish in the blossoms of your chest."

Anna felt her breath completely leave her lungs. She threw her arms around looking for something to hold on for her dear life but there wasn't any. She held his back tighter as she moaned helplessly in his ears till they orgasmed. Liam laid on his back to let Anna lay on his chest well. They remained awake but quite for two long hours feeling eachother bodies and heart beats untill Liam felt coldness from the ground penetrate his body.

"Let's go bath"

Anna got up, wrapped a towel around her naked bottom and then warmed their bathing water. Liam got his towel as well and got outside to get something from his car and then locked the door on his way back.

"It's time for waxing." Liam said entering into the bathroom.

"What's waxing?"

"It's an action of getting rid of somebody's hair on her barbie doll" Liam said and Anna blushed.

"Who calls it a barbie doll anyway?" Anna asked shaking her head in amazement.

"Only me" He smiled at her with a wink. He showed her on how to sit so that he could get full access on her womanhood.

"Why are your labia minora longer" He asked pulling on them again.

"I pulled them"

Liam looked up at her face with a questioning face. She giggled at his funny look and then went on to explain.

"It's in our culture. Once every girl reaches her teen age, her paternal aunt or big sisters or friends teaches her how to pull them, even some local cultural schools do teach girls on how to do it in groups. It's compulsory that you can't get married without them, your paternal aunt would pull them out by fire by force in last days towards your wedding."

'That means that even my mom pulled them?' He stupidly thought that he also chuckled at his foolish questions, "What's their major importance"

"Well, when we were younger, elders could tell us that the longer they become, the more elastic the vagina would be in labour time making it easier for a natural birth which is partly true but not majorly true. When I grew up, I found out that most men in African society or maybe in East African society that I'm sure about like it when a woman has them long. Just like curtains, they cover the insides of the vagina and keep it warm for men's benefits. Plus, y'all like playing with them."

"Wow! What a good teacher you're!" He said teasingly, "I suppose Nancy taught you everything, isn't?"

"Why?" Anna said chuckling.

"Because she's your master planner"

Anna giggled shaking her head, "How did you know?"

"For the time I've stalked you, I wouldn't fail to notice." He said and resumed waxing her.

"Shame on you, Mr stalker. It was actually Eric who taught her and she taught me as well. By the time our aunty told us about it, we we're already pros"

Liam raised a brow, "Her boyfriend?"

"Yes"

"At what age did they start dating?"

"I think Nancy was like nine and Eric is three years older than her. So he was probably twelve."

"At that age? That's insane, I've never heard about it before." He said, "So, they would do their grown up stuffs and after Nancy narrates everything to you and you end up touching yourself?"

Anna smiled shyly, "No, I've always been a good girl. It's you who spoilt me"

"Who spoilt who?" Liam asked with a mischievous smile, "Last I checked, it was you throwing yourself on me. I was a righteous boy who didn't want to do evil things but you forced me to....you defiled me, bitch."

Anna giggled weaving her fingers into his hair, "It was you who unexpectedly kissed me first, the poor me thought that you were going to snap at me or worse slap me."

"Is it the reason why you were so afraid of me?"

"Partly" She said, "The way you'd always glare at girls who would try to present themselves to you freaked me out, you were alway cold and tough that I was pretty sure that you would smash a fly if it dared cross paths with you"

"Oh no! What a negative perception you got on me!" He teased, "I don't even remember any girl you're talking about except you who would peek at me daily from afar."

Anna laid her head back on the wall with an ear to ear smile, "You were my secret crush which I didn't want colleagues to know about , they all liked you so I didn't want to clash with them. Most especially Christine who always talked about you positively as if you're some kind of a demigod"

"What a good employee she is! I will increase her salary for that."

Anna rolled her eyes at him, "As who? Mr Balaji or Mr Edmond?"

" As her boss"

"You wish, you being our boss's nephew doesn't make you our boss, maybe Lexie."

"For real, for your information, I'm your boss as well" He said pointing at her, she frowned. "My third time of seeing you, it was last year and you were staying with Nancy in this very room. It had taken me a long time of searching for you and when I finally found you, I didn't want to loose sight of you ever again. I thought of employing you at my phone shop but I changed my mind, I wouldn't stand seeing you every time without doing my dirt on you so I told Balaji to confront your brother. He went in the bank as planned and faked looking for workers, your brother thought of you immediately and that's how he connected you at café Javas."

Anna just stared at him wide eyed.

Liam continued, "Apart from knowing your brother, your military uncle and Nancy of course; with their partners and what they all do, I wanted to know you personally so I employed Christine at the café. She was our house maid at home and her new main job was to befriend you and keep reporting to me what I want to know about you. When I asked my uncle for your vacancies, he denied saying that they were full unless if I would be paying you two. I wouldn't agree less, 'cause, why not? It was my pleasure."

Anna stared at him blankly for several seconds, "Why weren't you saying anything to me?"

"I wasn't sure of your feelings towards me, I didn't want to risk..."

"If you could tell that I was peeking at you from afar, how couldn't you tell on how I was feeling for you?" Anna asked kinda pissed.

"Do you know how many girls do beyond peeping at me or getting nervous in my presence? Or do you know the reason why everyone was staring at you yesterday in the mall? I've seen all kinds of seductions even when I was still a pre-teen just because of my skin colour, beauty and wealth. You neither reached out to me like other girls nor pretended. You just kept hiding which puzzled me." He said

Anna sighed in defeat, "When did you first see me...?"
