🌂SLEEP WITH MY HUSBAND🌂
By Rejoice J.
Chapter Five
♡**♡**♡**
With a satisfied smile on my face, I made my way back into my room.
He didn’t open the bag. Yeah.. now his feedback when he sees the l!ngerie will determine my next action.
If he doesn’t say anything about it or return it, then it means that he’s gotten interested but just can’t say it, so the next thing for me to do is to present myself to him without him asking.
And if he returns it but does not look angered.. that is also a sign that he’s gotten interested.
But if he returns it and look angered.. hmm… then I’ll just go ahead with my next plan.
My phone began ringing.
Remi.
Yeah… I gave him my contact. My real contact.
I know I shouldn’t have. I should have told him to stay away from me instead. I should have yelled it to his face, but there is just something about him that I couldn’t resist and it held me from doing the right thing.
When he asked for my contact, I tried to stop myself, but he was persistent and the way he went about it was irresistible for me, and the next thing, I saw myself saying my phone member to him.
The deed has been done isn’t it? I’ve realized that the mistake started from the moment I allowed him to sit beside me yesterday. The mistake started from me, I shouldn’t have gone head to introduce myself to him. I shouldn’t have.
I picked the call and waited for him to speak first.
“Hello Desire,” the way he call my name. I sw€ar it sound so attractive.
“Hi..” I mumbled.
“There you go again.. not always adding my name. I really wanna hear you say my name,” he said.
What’s so important about me saying his name?
I sighed and went for a seat at the edge of the bed.
“What is it?” I asked, ignoring the other.
“Umm.. can you come to the bar?” he asked.
Quickly, I checked the time and it was 8:38pm.
“I.. don’t think,” I said, even though a part of me was willing.
“Come on.. just thirty minutes of your time. I wouldn’t want to keep you at the bar at a late hour,” he said.
Here comes that persistence again, but tonight, I’m ready to overcome it.. besides I need to be here to see if Eric Wilfred will come knocking on my door.
“I can’t,” I said.
“I’ve got something that I want to share with you, please..”
Indeed.
“What is that?” I asked him.
“Umm… okay I’m gonna be honest, I just want to spend some time with you and we can talk about some things,” he said.
I chuckled.
The part of me that want to go was beginning to grow stronger than the part that want to stay, but I wouldn’t trade my mission here for anything, would I?
I’m expecting Eric Wilfred on my door any moment from now, so there’s no way I’m going to leave this room to see anybody else.
“I don’t think.. I’m tired and I need to rest,” I said.
“Just thirty minutes, I promise,” he persisted.
“I’m serious. In fact, I’m hanging up right now,” I said.
“No… wait,” he said.
I sighed.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to come. At least we can do it on the phone right” he asked.
Hmm… seems he isn’t allerg!c to loosing after all.
“Okay,” I said, glad that I was able to stand my ground this time.
Well I should, when I’m expecting Eric Wilfred.
The phone call conversation went further while I anticipated for Eric Wilfred’s knock on my door.
“So, are you single or in a relationship?” he asked.
“I’m married,” I joked only to realize that I’ve made a big mistake.
I should have made use of the question to get him away from me by telling him that I’m in a relationship but instead, I joked about being married.
“I know that’s a lie,” he said.
“So what do you want to believe, that I’m single?” I asked him.
“Anything, but definitely not married,” he said.
“And what makes you think so?”
“If you were, you would have told me that already. A married woman inform her admirer that she is married on his first advance. I’m talking about ninety percent of married women.”
“I’m among the ten percent who doesn’t,” I said.
“Well then, I don’t mind taking you away from him. We can start with a d!vorce paper,” he joked.
I chuckled.
The fact is that, I ended up telling him the truth, that I’m single, even to the extent of telling him how my last relationship ended and how the heartbreak almost got me into d£pression.
It was as if he had a remote control which he was using to make me talk everything about me to him, although I mixed some with lies just to fit in with the status I’m fak!ng to be at the moment.
But relieving enough, I wasn’t the only one who talked about myself, he also told me about his last relationship and how single life has been for him ever since then.
It was an emotional story because unlike me that ch£at ended my last relationship, d£ath ended his own by taking his girlfriend two years ago, the same year my relationship ended.
It almost made me tear up ’cause it reminded me of my elder sister who Asthma t00k away from us twelve years ago because she couldn’t find her Inhaler and we weren’t home to save her.
I ended up telling him the story and we comforted each other the best way we could.
When we finally said goodnight to each other and hung up, I felt this sudden strong likeness for him. Felt almost like an attraction and before I could stop myself, I was already deep in thought about him.
He seems like the most gentle and nicest guy I’ve ever come accross, but why does it have to be now that I’m here with a f@ke identity to sl£ep with a married man?
That was when I remembered that I was actually expecting someone but he didn’t even show up. Seems my plan is working.
That night, I slept with smiles on my face without even knowing the reason why, if it’s about my l!ngerie plan working well or about Remi who I’ve suddenly gotten attracted to.
***
Morning came and I woke up to a New Message from Remi.
Opening it, I was surprised and awed by the photo he sent me with a ‘Goodmorning beautiful’ message under it.
It was a beautiful portrait pencil drawing of me and from the blouse design and the styling of the hair, I realized that it was the same top and hair that I wore to the swimming pool yesterday.
I was shocked.
“Wait… how did this guy do this?”
I wasted no time in asking him.
He replied,
“My apologies, I took a s£cret
photo of you at the pool
yesterday. You were so
beautiful, I couldn’t stop
myself. I wanted to stare
at you for hours and drawing
you in my book was the only way.”
That made me smile, I wouldn’t lie. I’ve never met someone as romantic as him before and he’s starting to crawl into my head so fast.
A knock came on my door, quickly taking my eyes off the photo.
Eric Wilfred?
Finally.
Dropping my Samsung phone, I wore my slippers and went for the door, then I inhaled and exhaled first before opening the door.
But the man I was expecting wasn’t the one I met. It was a female worker.
“Goodmorning ma’am,” she greeted.
“Goodmorning,” I answered.
When she raised the bag I gave Eric Wilfred, that was when I saw it.
“I was asked to hand this bag to you,” she said.
I grabbed the bag, opened it and saw that both the handcream and my l!ngerie were inside.
He’s returning even the handcream and through a worker?
What does this mean?
“When did he gave you this?” I asked her.
“This morning,” she said.
If he gave it to her this morning, that means he had it with him all through the night.
Not so bad.
But why return even the innocent handcream and through a worker? I was expecting him to return the l!ngerie himself.
“What time?” I asked her.
“Not quite long.”
“Did you open it?”
“No ma’am.”
“Okay, you can go.”
She left and after dropping the bag in my room, I made my way to his door and knocked, hoping he’s in.
The door opened and he showed up, in a suit just like yesterday.
“Hi… goodmorning,” I greeted awkwardly.
“Young lady, I would adv!ce you to leave my door right now if you don’t want to get !nto trouble,” he said in an angry but quite relaxed voice.
I get it.
“I’m really sorry about the l!ngerie. I had no idea it was inside the bag. I didn’t even know how it got in,” I said.
“I know what you’re looking for, or you think I don’t?” he asked.
“I don’t understand and I’m being honest here,” I said.
“You think you can s€duce me.. with some d!rty l!ngerie? Are you that dûmb?” he asked.
Oh.. sh!t. This isn’t going where I wanted.
“You’re looking for a married man that will look after you instead of his wife and his family who he’s supposed to look after. Is that what you ladies are only good at in this c!ty? You don’t want to work but pr0st!tùte about with your fellow lady’s husbands?”
His words cut !nto my heart like a kn!fe and I felt the excruc!ating pa!n.
I had no idea what to say or do at that moment.
“If I see you at my door or anywhere cl0se to me next time, I’ll get you arr£st€d,” he said and before I could talk, he shut the door right on my face.
“Desire, what have you caused for yourself..” was all I could mumble before finding my way back into my room.
“Lora.. I can’t go on with this,” I said into the phone minutes after I returned.
TBC
Doesn’t Remi look a bit susp!cious???
And is Desire really giving up already? O thought she said she must succeed on this mission no matter what? Small !nsult and she don weak already? Hmm
