JEREMY
.
Episode 6
.
Jeremy gave me a p@ssionate kiss. His t0ngue was searching for mine, slipping fast beyond my lips.
.
It took me a moment to gather my composure after Jeremy had caught me off guard with this.
.
Jeremy always manages to charm me with these unexpected sexu@l advances.
.
My response came as a reflex. For a split second, I responded to Jeremy’s kisses, and I nearly lost it. I nearly caved in.
.
That Jeremy knew me so well. He always knew exactly where to t0uch me to get me excited. I believe that was one of the reasons I was so infatuated with him.
.
We found ourselves on the sofa.
.
I sat up and undid my bl0use after Jeremy had taken all the butt0ns down, showing a br@ that was so translucent it was almost transparent. Jeremy and I had been locking lips up until that point.
.
Jeremy’s mouth dried up at the sight of my “puppies” and at the prospect of biting them with his t0ngue. He was always overly animated at this point.
.
With a deft move, my br@ was undone and dropped down beside my blouse, but this was when I realized that I shouldn’t be doing this. Not with Jeremy. Not after everything.
.
As though I’d just snapped out of a trance, I attempted to push Jeremy off, repeating “No! I can’t do this anymore.” But Jeremy clung to me firmly. Right now, his mouth was resting on one of my n11pples, which sent me shivers of ecst@sy in a way that only Jeremy could.
But I was determined to turn Jeremy down. With all my might, I pushed him off me and quickly reached for my clothes.
.
Jeremy didn’t try to stop me or exert any pressure on me. He stood up and watched as I put my clothes back on. At various points, he shook his head as if in profound consideration.
.
“Baby. I expressed my regret. I apologize for all that took place. I didn’t intend for anything to turn out the way it did. I couldn’t have. It should have been obvious during the past few weeks. I sincerely regret and repent. I am, I swear. I understand that what I’ve done shouldn’t be forgiven as readily as I am making it seem as though I do, but because of the love we had prior to that unpleasant episode, you must find a way and a place in your heart to forgive me. You must realize that it was only a temporary slip-up on my part, one that I sincerely regret and will never allow to happen again. My heart bleeds knowing that you are unhappy with me because I love you so much, baby.”
.
Jeremy approached me and encircled me with his arms.
.
I shrugged him off.
.
Following that, Jeremy kneeled. While he sobbed, he clung firmly to my waist.
.
“Sweetheart, I’m going to remain like this until you pardon me. I’m not sure what else you want me to do to show you that I genuinely apologize. Do you want me to commit suicide? Because I am prepared to do it if that is what it takes.” Jeremy said, amidst a catarrh-streaming cry.
.
My heart ached at what I saw of Jeremy. He appeared to be sincerely sorry.
.
“There is no way a man could act this way and not mean anything he says na.” A voice in my head whispered, “Just forgive him joor. You sef too do.”
.
“You want to forgive him, abi? You want to go past what just happened and forgive this jerk, right? You do realize that the wounds he left on your body, which will take some time to heal, should be a sufficient wake-up call, abi? You see that one week and three days you spent in that hospital bed, ehn? It will be insignificant in comparison to what is to come. Next time, you’ll go into a coma and have to wonder how time flew so fast because you woke up three years later.”
.
“Haba! This individual did not commit a murder na. He only made a mistake. A stupid mistake. One that he is currently regretting. He is just human. He has feelings and is bound to get carried away at times if overwhelmed. Did he go too far with what he’d done? The answer is a resounding YES! But is it enough of a reason to ignore him when, aside from this one instance of weakness, he possesses many other highly admirable qualities—qualities that initially made you fall in love with him? We both realize that the answer to this is NO.” I heaved a deep sigh. “Who are you, girl, to not forgive poor Jeremy if God can pardon our sins? He apologizes. If he isn’t, he won’t be this broken.”
.
I took a moment to consider all that was going through my mind. I reached for Jeremy after that. I supported him. I questioned him about his assurance that he wouldn’t touch me ever again. In response to my query, he nodded while making an effort to blot his tears with the back of his hand.
.
I reached out and k1ssed Jeremy on the cheek.
.
We’ve always had fantastic makeup s#x, but this time, what came after was beyond anything I could have anticipated.
To be continued…
