Evident

17.

Frustration ride me as I sat on the steps of the hut, my legs soaks into the river as I tried to fish.

"Don't you dare hiss at my fed up behaviour Imali. If you think you can do better than what I'm doing, then dearest please do the honours and take me out of my misery."

I rolled my eyes at the white rude snake of a pet who took after its owner, I narrowed my eyes at it as the snake turn away its head in ignorance.

I cursed underneath by breath at the fact that this snake had the guts to avoid me, if he didn't enjoy my presence why the heck was he following me around then.

Huffing, I toss the wooden rod into the water that I founded in the hut, watching as the water ripples from the effects.

I was only doing this because I decided that I would cook dinner for Aureliano.

And I was not ashamed to admit that I didn't know one shit about fishing.

"And here I thought I was the crazy one."

His low pitch voice snickered behind me.

Calm down girl damn...

I encouraged inwardly for my heart to eased its rate, it was ridiculous really, the fact that my system reacted this way only around him.

I didn't know if this reason was because I lacked the touch of a man for a year now....

Shaking my head to clear the thoughts away, I bit my lower lip as his footsteps came down on the steps towards me.

"What are you doing darling?"

I looked over my shoulders and toss him a smile. I brush some of my braids behind my ears, feeling the warmness on my cheeks from a blush as he scans his eyes over my face intently. Thank God for my dark skin tone because this would give me away.

I hated when he do that, fuck.

"Can you stop."

His eyebrows connected together as he lifts a hand and scratch his neatly trim beard.

He sat behind me, his thighs widening apart. "Can I stop what?"

"Stop with the staring it's...a bit."

His dimples pop in his cheeks as he chuckled, still not easing up on his stare as he drilled his very eyes into mine.

"You don't like it?"

"No..." I turn my head around and lift the rod up out of the water. I kissed my teeth in defeat when I realize that I haven't caught anything.

"Get use to it."

He said underneath his breath and I bit my bottom lip as my abdomen flutter from his voice, it impulse a tight clench in my cunt.

He chuckled at my struggled.

"That's not the way how to do it sweetheart, here let me show you."

"Where did I go wrong." I frowned.

"You didn't even attach a bait to the hook darling." He chuckled and I scoffed.

"This is the only way to allure the fishes to the rod, now tell me how would you have accomplished this without the bait."

"Shut up."

"What will you do without me baby."

"I'd die..." I mocked.

He snickered and left me there and I wondered where he wandered off to.

After some seconds he came back and I rolled my eyes as he continued to laugh behind me, his body was a bit closer now. He took the rod from me then attaches the worm to the hook and I inhale sharply as he lowers his huge thick frame behind me, wraps both hands around my waist then position his fingers around mine to hold the handle of the wooden rod.
