THE UNPOLISHED GEM

Lia Pov

I agreed to stay with him but I'm nervous after what happened,   my hormones 're topsy turvy right now . I hope he sticks to his promise tonight cus I'm not ready to loose my virginity,  what if he wakes up in the morning nd goes like " I'm sorry lia  it was a mistake,  can you imagine the shame . He took his bath nd got in bed , granny brought us some hot chocolate drink with cookies,  she's all excited we 're finally spending a night together as a couple.  That old lady is something else,  Are you ok lia? I nodded....would you like to watch some movies? Sure but you choose,  I said.  We watched 2 movies while sipping our drinks nd laughing at the characters ,  an hour later he dozed off,  watching his tired figure I covered him with his duvet, put off everything nd lay beside him. While staring at his handsome face I felt a hand grip my hip nd pushed me closer to cuddle,  I tensed up initially but finally relax , it feels good lying in his arms nd gosh he smell so good ,  I shut my eyes nd enjoy  the moment,  I didn't know when i drifted off to sleep

I woke up around 5am nd I slowly got out of the bed nd sneak out, back to reality I sigh  , I was still sleepy so I went ahead nd slept some more in my bed, few hours later I was finally awake so I did my hygiene left my room, I met the wills having breakfast.. They always remind me of my family back home,  I miss them

Weeks later I was rocking myself in  a chair  in the garden , I shut my eyes while  enjoying my music like I always do when I'm bored,  I love to read nd cook as well just to kill my boredom, Mariah Carey " we belong together " is playing right now, then I felt a peg on my left  cheek so I opened my eyes nd there he was standing in his glory. Oh no why is he home this early? I  've been avoiding him lately,  I decided to stay away to stop myself from feeling the way I do each time I'm around him, to make matters worse miss model is back nd she's all over him like a pest. My mum inlaw invited her shopping nd tag micheal along. I don't wanna cry over a man I can't have,  I'm done cus the jealousy plan only got me few kisses I enjoyed though but nothing more so I give up ladies nd Gents... Why 're you avoiding me? He ask,  Oh Lord what excuse can I give now

After that night I always felt like having Lia in my arms each night. With just few talks,  hugs nd kisses she got me sleeping like a baby, I get such sleep after having sex but with her it's different,  I felt some peace but I woke up nd her side is empty,  since that night she's been avoiding me. Gwen came back with her lovey- dovey pretense but I ain't falling for it this time. I need to pretend as well for mum's sake, nd today she ask me to drive them to shop for clothes,  women always 've something to buy, I shook my head. I drove them around but all I think about is Lia,  as soon as we got home I searched for her everywhere till I finally found her in the garden,  I peg her cheeks to gain her attention nd she opened those beautiful eyes I admire so much, why 're you avoiding me? I asked,  it's nothing Mike   , I sat close to her nd held her hands  is it about the kiss lia? She replied No , avoiding my gaze. I just thought you needed some privacy now that Gwen is back.  You re wrong lia,  I don't  , I feel peace when I'm with you, I enjoy every bit of our friendship so if you re like this cuz of that night then I'm sorry  I don't regret kissing you nd I will kiss you over nd over again if you let me.

She finally stare into my eyes, there's this tension between us since we kissed the first time but I was too blind nd stubborn to notice,  you feel it too so why don't we give each other a chance ? You  don't love me Mike, I mean you constantly remind me it's Gwen you want so what 're you talking about? Yeah you re right, I don't know if I'm that crazy about you,  all I know is I feel something special I can't explain , a part of me changed that night nd since then I can't stop thinking about you not even when I'm with Gwen.   She was amazed judging by her expression,  give us a chance,  dad saw it coming that's why he chose you.  Lets make this marriage work please wifey.....
