"BETROTHED" ✔️

Chapter Fifty Five

***
I stirred from sleep as I felt soft kisses against my neck. I smiled unconsciously and fluttered my eyes open. Shane and his handsome face were in front of me.

"Hey." he smiled.

"Hey." I smiled back and he kissed my forehead.

"How did my baby sleep?"

"Quite well." I smiled.

"Good. Now let's go shower. We both smell like good sex." he joked and I laughed.

"Hahahaha, good idea."

We got out of bed and headed for the shower cabin. I was so in love with Shane. Thoughts of the previous night returned. I was still shaken. The love I had for Shane made me realise that the love I thought I had for Josh was only fear, not love. I'd stuck with him because I was afraid of what he could do to me.

As the warm water poured down on both of us, Shane held me tight against him, my back against his smooth chest. My head fell back against his shoulder while he kissed my neck. He caressed me, applying sweet smelling liquid soap all over my body.

Then I turned and faced him to apply the soap on him too. He was so sexy and I enjoyed applying soap on his body.

He held me tight, my breast pressed against his chest. We kissed slow and nice. We couldn't get enough of each other.

He broke the kiss and nibbled my earlobe. I giggled

"You're one naughty boy."

"You think?"

"You shouldn't have done that to me while I spoke to Josh." I giggled. He smirked at me.

"Done what?"

"Shane, you know." I laughed.

"I just wanted him to hear the pleasure you were having from someone who loves you." he kissed me, "I wanted him to know that I was making love to you..." he kissed me again, " I wanted him to know what he was missing and what he had lost to me."

He went on with the soft words and kisses, and I enjoyed them.

Bye bye Josh.

We later had delicious breakfast. I felt alive. I felt happy. I felt like a whole new person. It still seemed like a dream.

"I wonder how people would react when they'll know." I said, taking a bite of my toast.

"They'll have to deal with it."

I smiled at his reply.

"For the moment, only Keisha knows. And probably Sloane too."

Shane smirked.

"The country knows."

My eyes widened.

"What?"

Shane looked at the TV, causing me to look too. It was Hollywood trends. He increased the volume. Guess whose names I heard. I almost passed out.

There were pictures of the day before when we'd left the supermarket, surrounded by paparazzi. It went as thus:

"Okay people, what you have been waiting for is confirmed! *Shloane* is over folks. Hollywood hottie, Shane Lucas confirmed that he and Sloane were over when he answered paparazzi by saying that they were more of *friends* than anything else! It's official! Sloane Donovan seems to be with Deuce! It is the end of *Shloane*"

A picture of Shane and Sloane together appeared on the screen, then it was ripped into two.

"I guess some might be having hopes but sorry ladies, Shane himself isn't single. Yup. A young woman referred to as the  *chocolate beauty* by the media, was seen with him all through."

A picture of me appeared on screen. I gulped, completely unable to move or speak.

"As you can see, he protected the young lady from paparazzi. And when asked who she was, he replied:

"Fine. She's my girl."

Wowy indeed. This new sweetheart has got the assets along with her beauty if y'all know what I mean. Not bad Shane. Not bad at all. Good choice. We are still to discover this mystery girl's name .

Now for our next news,–"

I put off the TV, surprised. I turned to a smiling Shane.

"What did you expect? It had to happen." he said coolly.

"I know but, Gosh! Josh will recognise me. My relations, friends and parents."

Shane frowned a little.

"What's wrong with it? Or you expected us to date secretly?'

"No, no." I smiled, " I just feel awkward. But now everyone will know. I'm kinda happy. All those who used to laugh at me would see that I've moved on."

Shane held my hands in his.

"I want us to last, Shayenne." he kissed me, "and trust me, we will."

I smiled and hugged him tight.

***

That night Shane dropped off me on campus.

"I'll miss you." I said shyly.

"I'll miss you too. See me when you can this week."

"Okay."

"Good girl." he kissed me one last time.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight, sweetheart."

I got out of his car and waved goodbye as he drove away. I already missed his presence.
