Scars of undying grief

Chapter 37

He quickly kicked the door behind him and hid like the naughty boy that he was.

"Open this door!" She spoke on her lungs.

"No I won't." He yelled as he chewed the last piece of carrot he was hiding in his pocket.

"The last time, open this door and get your assed whooped."

"Talking of ass whooping, we haven't really used this room before." He winked as he opened the door before him.

And then it was her turn to run, "yes, but no!" She said as she tried to run back to the kitchen.

"Now who's the naughty girl?" He whispered as he took her in a swift embrace.

Her Palms met her face as she kept wiggling her body in his arm in an attempt to escape.

"Please let me finish cooking, else we'll burn this house down."

"Now who's the naughty one." He asked playfully.

"No one!" She whispered as she squealed seconds after.

He tickled her ribs and it made her giggle like a little girl, "Please , please, let me go!" She begged as she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Nope, I'm not letting you go, you asked for a little help, and here we go." He said smilingly, as he banged the door behind.

"Baby, okay I agree that I called for help, but this ain't the help I asked for." She panicked.

"Yes, even this will help you stay happy the whole day, isn't this like a good-good help, huh?"

"Baby, let's do it after cooking, please, we have the whole day, I have to finish what I've started."

"Isn't this what you've started too?"

"Come to daddy." He said as he picked her up swiftly and dropped her effortlessly on the white bed like a feather.

She tried to escape again, but it didn't work.

"Okay you know what we'll do now?" She questioned.

"No, I mean yes, what we will do now is you not leaving here until I devour you little cute human." He tickled her as he said so.

"Please listen to me." She talked as she laughed.

"Let's go turn the cooker down, and come back right here and continue this business." She advised.

"I don't trust you like that naughty girl."

"I know, okay, let's go together."

"Yes let's go together." He agreed.

She stood up to walk before him "wait !" He said.

"I said I don't trust you remember?"

"Yes I remember, I'm not running away."

"And that's why I'm carrying you myself."

"Oh my God, when will you realize that this woman's curves are not easy to carry about."

"Well this woman isn't any woman, she's my woman, and I'll do right by her, now come here."

He picked her up again like a piece of paper, as he placed her to rest on his left shoulder. She swings her legs until they got downstairs to the kitchen.

In a simple click, he turned it off, took her up to the new room, laid her on the bed and quickly take a few minutes of press up.

"I'm coming in hot, don't try me this time!"

"Oooh! I like that heat, bring it on!"

They both laughed as their lips locked seconds after, and well dot dot dot...

Months flew and it was time for Zayba to leave for Enugu , for a job interview, her Dad has applied for her in NNPC, as the names of the applicants were short listed , the first list had her name in it, the batch A applicant were set to have an interview in Enugu.

"Of all places enugu?" He'd asked angrily.

"Yes, I thought I could just tower around Nigeria, I want to explore."

"You think going to Enugu, and leaving me here is exploring,"

"I didn't do it because of you, Dad did it for me."

"Oh okay, you do things alone now, I thought I was supposed to be included in your plans?"

"Baby, you know we can always change that, twenty four hours of interview won't do that bad, before you know it I'll be done."

"You know what Zayba, don't change it, go to Enugu and leave me here alone, get the job and stay there forever, I heard Igbo men like women with heavy curves so have a great stay there."

"But baby you know my intentions."

"No but." He stated, lifted his feet, went straight to the bedroom and banged the door loudly.
