Chapter Sixty six

I watched the time when I was done setting the table, it was past 7 I just hope he'll make it just then I heard a knock on the door. "Uncle! I heard Sunny shout from the sitting room, I walked to open the door " Thought you make it again" he smells nice. "You know that won't happen" I smiled and made way for him to enter "Wow, I can smell something delicious"  he bends to scoop Sunny up. "Mummy made rice, sauce, and fried chicken". " wow! Mummy made all of that" she nodded smiling "You didn't help her" she shook her head "she doesn't want anyone's help".  Andrew turned to me with a funny face. " is that true Mummy? 

"Ummm I don't know". They were really good together. " come, I reached out for Sunny. "You need to go to bed now". " She should eat with us," Andrew said. "I turned to glare at him funnily. " she ate her dinner, I've just insisted to see you before she sleeps".  Andrew reached to peck her.

"You see Sunny" I called her attention "if your uncle decides to take care of you, you'll still be hungry by this time of the night".  " I think I need a timetable. "Sunny made a face. " you're too old for that" I laughed so hard that Sunny joined it. "That's not fair" Andrew pouts. "I'll be right back," I told him before walking upstairs to tug Sunny in.

When I got done, I saw him packing Sunny's toy. "I remember when I use to have toys like this" he placed them on the desk "yeah, it was fun, childhood is the best". " Then you have to grow without worrying about anything". "Ummm I do worry about food" I laugh "really? He chuckled. " yeah I eat a lot so I do worry about it". "I'll be glad if only food is what I worry about". " me too, come let's eat" I lead the way finally to the dining table. "Smells yummy". " I have taken that as a compliment"

"So tell me where you'll like to go on a vacation," Andrew asked settling himself in a chair, I raised my eyebrow at him and settle down. "Why do you ask".  " have you ever thought about going on vacation".  "Umm not really but why asking".  " just think about it, it'll be fun going out a bit just for fun you don't have to stress yourself out there, just be with Sunny". "It sounds interesting". " yeah it does"  

Going on vacation would be nice, it'll help me escape from all the trouble here. "Wow! I'm still thinking about it". " you have to" he smiled eating his food. 

"I think you're the best cook".  " don't even talk until you meet mum, she's the one that made me start eating much". "I can't wait then"

I think it was time to ask him the question that has been throbbing in my mind, I just want a perfect answer maybe then I could make my decision. I stare at him across the table, would I give another man a chance to my heart wasn't that stupid or I'm I letting the past affect me.

"Tell me what you're thinking in that bead of your" I shook my head and stare down at my food "you're thinking about my proposal right? I nodded still without raising my head " I told you, you don't have I agree if you don't want to marry me, I'm okay as your friend too". 

"I know, I sigh " I'm thinking about how I'm going to another man I chance in my life, it's so weird". He stare at me for a while before reaching out for my hand. "Are you prepared to do that". " I don't know it just scares the hell out of me, I just want to forget, I just want to leave my life and not let the past pull me down but it so hard to do despite after telling myself that I won't live in the past again.

"Do you want to let go of your past and move on"? " I do, I just want to be happy".  "Then allow me to take away your fear" he stood and walked to me, I felt my heartbeat flipped when he reach out to take my hand.

I allowed him to draw me up gently, I felt my blood rush up when I was close to him. "Are you afraid" I stare at his deep brown eyes and shook my head, I saw him reach in and took my lip with his?

It tasted like sauce but welcoming, I lean into his arm and let his kiss warm me up, it was gentle and promising. So tender as if he's kissing a baby, I wanted this, I want more the urge was uncontrollable. I saw myself responding every inch away, I reached up to him and linking my hand in his hair. He was delicious like food that would make you carve more, he pulled away slowly and stare down at me. "Do you want this"? I would be a big liar if I say no, I wanted him more than I have begun to fear.

I wanted to lie in his arms and let him make sweet love to me, I wanted to feel a man's warmth and touch. I'm not a wood but a human being, enjoying myself just tonight won't be a bad thing. I also have the chance to be happy and forget.

I nodded " I want this, I want you". Without another word, he claims my lips again, this time it wasn't that gentle as it was at first. It was fierce and hot, he withdrew staring at me as if his word depend on that look.

He scooped me up in his hand and walk upstairs to my room my heart pounded rapidly, was I making any mistake. 

I told myself I relax and enjoy the moment, if this was the last thing I do for myself I want to be happy and relax doing it.
