Now I was in the garden having tea with Ken sitting across from me. I did my best to not make eye contact with him but I felt his gaze on me. My aunt and Britney were discussing about the preparations for the wedding but I couldn’t concentrate on what they were saying with this man sitting across from me. Suddenly my foot brushed accidently with his under the table. That’s it! I couldn’t take it anymore! I stood up “Excuse me” I said and went inside the building to my room.
Just as I sat on my bed, someone walked into my room and closed the door. I turned around and to my surprise it was ken. “What are you doing here?” I asked backing away.
“I came to check on you. Are you fine?” he said walking towards me.
“Yes I’m fine. Go away please.” I said backing away and my back touched the wall.
“Why did you left?” He asked as he continued walking towards me and standing a few centimeters away from me.
“I remembered I had something urgent to do.” I lied.
“Was that urgent thing just sitting on your bed or did you left because you were embarrassed to brush your feet against your brother-in-law’s?” he asked. What? I didn’t brush my feet against him deliberately.
“It was an accident.”
“Come on Miya, I know you felt it too.” He said putting his hands on my waist. I loved the way he said my name. He kissed my neck and I closed my eyes taking in the feeling. He then trailed kisses up my neck to my jaw then my cheeks. I couldn’t breathe I was paralyzed! Then to my disappointment he stopped and let go of me backing away. His eyes were burning with lust but he walked out of the room leaving me there like a mess. I drifted to the floor crying. What have I done? What was I thinking? I was lusting after my cousin’s fiancé. I felt like a whore! I should stay away from him. I will keep away from him until the wedding and I’ll fly back to New York and never see him again in my life! That’s it! I lay on my bed and cried till I dozed off.
