HEREMAKONO ( AWAITING HAPPINESS )

Chapter Thirteen. Part One

Nnadia woke up late the next morning, she smiled to herself while lovingly touching the spot on the bed where Abdullah had been. She leaned close and inhaled his scent, she missed him already. She felt sore from their lovemaking, still, Nnadia couldn't wait for him to come back. He had left an hour before his flight the previous evening, he made her promise to go back home as soon as he returned. 

Nnadia thought about all the things that happened between them and she blushed hard. His arms were the only place she ever wanted to be.

She reached for her phone and saw lots of missed calls and messages. She opened the message from Abdullah first. 

"Hi baby, I've just arrived here in London. I'm missing you like crazy. Had I known making love to you will have this effect on me, I would've waited until I got back. I can't get enough of you and I'm going crazy over here. I love you so much. Your insatiable husband." 

Nnadia smiled and blushed after reading it. She decided to reply to him. 

" Thank God you reached safely hubby, I'm missing you too. And as for your insatiability, well I'm sure that I can handle it. I love you more."

She pressed send and then shut her eyes tightly from shyness. She couldn't believe that she was getting this bold with him. Nnadia checked her other messages and they were all from Hajara asking if they had made up. She decided to call her. In the first ring, Hajara answered excitedly. 

" Hello, why didn't you pick my calls or answer my texts from last night? Were you guys busy doing something naughty?" She teased. 

" It's not like that, I was sleeping," Nnadia replied, embarrassed. 

" Do you mean that you didn't make up with your husband? Oh, Nnadia don't you see how much he loves you?" Hajara asked her concern. 

Chuckling, Nnadia replied. " I've made up with him, godmother." She replied teasingly. 

" Then why are you still at your parent's house, why didn't you go back home?" Hajara enquired. 

" Because I don't want to stay there alone. I'll wait for him to come then we'll go home together. I just want to see the surprised look on my mom's face when that happens." She told her friend. 

" You won't tell your family that you guys are back together?" Hajara asked. 

" No. I'm going to surprise them," Nnadia replied happily. 

" Well that's okay, but tell me something. When I was about to go yesterday, you were looking at your husband like you were ready to murder him. So how did he end up persuading you to forgive him? Hmm?" Hajara asked teasingly. 

" Um, I just decided to forgive him." Nnadia lied, looking here and there. She didn't know how to tell Hajara the truth without feeling shy and she was afraid of her teasing. 

" You know what, I made love with my husband the entire night yesterday, and it was so romantic. How about you?" Hajara said boldly. Nnadia realized what her friend was up to. 

" Fine, we did it. So what." She said and hung up but not before listening to Hajara's laughter from the other end. 

Nnadia went to freshen up and without even going for breakfast, she started packing her things even though she knew that she wasn't going home anytime soon. Her phone beeped and she went to check it. There was a message from Abdullah asking for her to come online for a video call because he missed her pretty face. She rushed to her dressing mirror to apply lip gloss when she saw how swollen her lips had gotten because of his kisses. She blushed and then decided to change her top. She was very nervous about seeing him even if it was through a video call. She set the laptop on her bed and went to Skype. The call came in immediately and she answered. 

" Hi, beautiful." Abdullah's smiling face came into view. A spark crackled between them. The shared memory of what took place between them the previous day. Nnadia glanced away quickly. Her husband didn't seem shy at all. 'What's it with men and boldness. She murmured to herself. Abdullah cleared his throat to indicate his presence. 

" Hi." She replied shyly. Her stomach felt as if it was being tied into knots. 

Gazing at her for some time, Abdullah admired her beautiful innocent face. He realized she was still shy when she didn't even try to look up at him. 

" Are you really going to avoid looking at me just because we made love? Other couples do it daily but I'm getting ignored just for doing it with my wife once." He spoke, breaking the silence. 

" No. That's not it. I'm not ignoring you." She told him quietly, still looking down at her hands. 

" Prove it. Look me in the eyes and tell me what you replied in my text. Even yesterday I noticed that you were constantly hugging me, just so you wouldn't look at me." He told her. Gazing at her speculatively. 

" That's not true. And I already replied to your message. Why don't you read it from there." She tried arguing. 

" If you really meant what you wrote, then say it. Except maybe you just did it so that I won't feel bad." Abdullah stated, feigning anger. 

" Fine," Nnadia said, covering her face with her hands. She slowly removed her hands and stared straight at him. She smiled shyly and spoke.

" I miss you so much, and I love you too." 

" And?" Abdullah asked. Grinning from ear to ear. 

" That's it. I already told you that I missed..." But before she could continue, Abdullah interjected. 

" I wrote that I couldn't get enough of you. I'm insatiable when it comes to you. What's your reply to that?" He asked, smirking. 

She avoided his gaze totally. 

" So." He pressed. 

" I'm your wife right, so I can definitely handle it. Even if you want it every week." She replied, biting her lips and smiling shyly. 

" Oh no, ma'am. I want it many times a day if I can help it." He told her with the intention of scaring her. 

Nnadia's eyes bulged immediately. 

" What? Many times a day, look Mr, I'm still feeling sore from what you did yesterday. How can I handle it many times a day?" She asked worriedly. 

Laughing at her cuteness, Abdullah replied. " Calm down Wifey, I'll only do it if you allow me to. And I'm sorry for making you sore, just that I'm not able to control myself when it comes to you. You have no idea. Next time just let me know if I'm going too hard." He told her sweetly.

He went hard alright, and she enjoyed every second of it. 

Nnadia smiled at his sweetness, she admired his face, his long lashes and light pink lips. She felt so lucky to have such a lovely man as her husband. Her heart swelled with happiness. 

" Okay, but tell me. Have you eaten?" She asked him with wifely concern. 

" Right after I'm done chatting with the love of my life." He told her. She smiled at that and he smiled back at her. They chatted for a while and she realized that her shyness was slowly drifting away.
