EPISODE 13.
🍒 (UNPREDICTED LOVE) 🍒
(C) Judytex_Stories
From Annabelle’s point of view.
As I walked up to Raymond that night, I had fear in my heart. I was afraid that this was the first day of our relationship. But now here I was, wanting to cross my boundary after I and Raymond had already agreed to take things slow so as not to confuse lust with love. But then, I had to prove to Deji that I and Raymond were in a relationship.
As soon as I tapped Raymond on the shoulder, he turned to me. Then I silently begged him to forgive me for what I was about to do. And before he could understand what I meant, I had already pressed my lips on his with my heart beating faster. Because I was scared as I wasn’t sure of what his reaction might be.
After a few seconds, I quickly pulled my lips from his. But as I stared at his face I could see the curiosity and confusion written all over him.
“Why did you kiss me?” he asked and I got nervous and scared.
“I just wanted to check something,” I replied.
After that, I turned quickly to walk away. But to my great surprise, he held my hand and pulled me back to himself.
“What are you doing?” I managed to ask staring confusedly and curiously at him.
“I’m trying to show you how to do it right,” he replied.
I was about to say another word when I felt Raymond’s soft and succulent lips on mine.
Slowly and gently, he kissed me deeply. His kisses were so soothing that they sent an unusual and inexplicable vibration down my spine. I honestly couldn’t describe exactly how I felt that night. But I do know one thing. And that is, Raymond’s kiss was the best kiss I’ve ever had. Maybe because it’s been years since I’ve felt a man’s lips on mine. But damn, he was such a good kisser.
As the kiss deepened, I didn’t know when I wrapped my hands around his neck and slowly ran my fingers through his neatly shaved hair, while I delightfully kissed him back.
He slowly grabbed my waist and pulled me closer while he continued to kiss me like never before.
And for a moment, I almost lost control of myself as I didn’t remember that we were in public. You won’t blame me because Raymond’s kisses were as satisfactory as his looks.

From the writer’s point of view.
After a long kiss, Raymond got hold of himself and slowly, he pulled his lips away from Annabelle’s. And with his forehead on hers, he stared into her eyes as he slowly continued to gasp.
Then after a while, he leaned in and whispered into Annabelle’s ear.
“Now, that’s how it’s done,” Raymond said with a smile.
“Thanks for the tutorial,” Annabelle replied biting her lips with a smile.
Meanwhile, Deji, who had been watching them the whole time, clenched his fist with jealousy and anger coursing through his veins.
A while later, Annabelle walked up to him and asked:
“Was that enough or do you need more proof? If you want, I can also ride him here and now and feed your ears with my moans of pleasure,” she said, sipping from her glass of wine.
“I see you’ve gone insane. Get out of my sight now,” Deji muttered, clenching his fist.
“With pleasure,” Annabelle said, bowing to him.
After the party, everyone returned to their hotel rooms exhausted.
When Deji entered his hotel room, he sat on the edge of the bed, with his head buried in his palms.
He sighed deeply and laid his back on the bed. Then, as he stared at the ceiling, he remembered the time he and Annabelle were inseparable on campus.
He could remember how happy she was whenever she was around him. And finally, he recalled the moment Annabelle kissed Raymond boldly in front of him.
And at the thought of it, he sat up quickly rubbing his forehead.
“Babe? Are you sure you’re alright?” Roseline asked, placing her palm on his shoulder.
“Of course I’m fine. I’m just exhausted from the party,” he lied, holding her hand.
“All right. If you need a massage, don’t forget to let me know. I will be right back. Let me go take a quick shower,” Roseline said.
“All right, babe,” Deji said, smiling at her.
Roseline leaned down and pecked his forehead before heading to the bathroom.
(In Annabelle’s hotel room)
Annabelle and Raymond walked in looking utterly weary and drained. They lazily closed their door, after which they threw themselves on the bed, with their eyes on the ceiling.
Annabelle sighed deeply as they both laid their backs on the bed. Then Raymond, who was lying next to her, slowly took her hand and held it in his. This act suddenly made Annabelle smile.
After a while, Raymond asked:
“What about Jasper? When are you going to video call him?” Raymond asked.
Hearing this, Annabelle quickly jumped out of bed.
“Oh my goodness. I can’t believe I forgot about it!” she exclaimed.
She quickly grabbed her phone and sat on the edge of the bed with Raymond sitting next to her.
She then dialed Keturah’s number, which enabled her to speak to her son, Jasper.
Upon hearing Jasper call Raymond Daddy, Keturah got to know who Raymond was and what he looked like.
While they were still on the video call, Jasper said a word that made them burst into endless laughter.
While they were laughing, Deji, who was standing restlessly outside, was curious to figure out what they were talking about and why they were laughing out excitedly.
That night, Deji had trouble sleeping. He kept turning in bed. Meanwhile, Raymond and Annabelle had a good night’s sleep. And they both slept with their backs turned to each other. To avoid crossing boundaries.
Early the next morning, Deji, who didn’t sleep well the previous night, came out of his room and started stretching next to Annabelle’s door.
Just then, he heard wild conversations coming from the room.
“It hurts, Raymond. Take it easy ahhhhh,” Annabelle called out in a baby tone.
Hearing this, Deji stepped closer and put his left ear to the door.
“Sorry. I’m going to take it slow this time. Just relax and close your eyes. And I’ll be done before you know it,” Raymond said.
“Okay….ahhhhhh…Raymond…it still hurts, maybe we should apply a lubricant on it to make it easier,” exclaimed Annabelle.
“Why are you acting like a baby? Please take your hand away so I can do this once and for all,” Raymond said.
“But it hurts. Can’t you be gentler?” Annabelle asked.
“Okay, just relax while I do it gently and slowly okay?” Raymond said.
“Can you blow some air on it?” Annabelle asked.
“Okay,” Raymond said. “Is it okay now?” He asked.
“Yeah… it’s better now,” Annabelle said.
These words made Deji so angry that he started knocking on their door.
“I’m coming!” Raymond said from inside.
And as soon as he pulled the door open, he found Deji standing in front of him.
Deji looked at Raymond from up to down only to find out that he was fully clothed.
“Good morning,” Deji greeted and waved at Raymond with a smile.
“Good morning Deji. How was your night?” Raymond asked.
“It was good. How is Annabelle? I heard her voice earlier. I hope everything is fine?” Deji asked.
“Yes, everything is fine. It’s just that she has a splinter of wood in her hand, and I have been struggling to pull it out the whole time but she has been unnecessarily overreacting,” Raymond said.
“Oh!” Deji said with a sigh of relief “I thought it was something serious. All right then. Take your time,” Deji said with a smile.
“All right,” Raymond replied and closed the door.
“Who was that?” Annabelle asked.
“Deji,” Raymond replied, sitting on the edge of the bed.
“What does he want?” Annabelle asked.
“He just came to make sure you were alright. Because of your shouts earlier,” Raymond said.
Upon hearing this, Annabelle simply scoffed and said:
“I think he thought there was something else going on,” Annabelle said.
“Something like what?” Raymond asked.
“Never mind. By the way, what’s for breakfast today? Because I’m literally starving right now,” Annabelle said yawning helplessly.
“Why won’t you be hungry when you’ve been screaming the whole time?” Raymond asked, throwing a pillow at her.
Then Annabelle quickly picked up the pillow and threw it back at Raymond, who did the same. And while Annabelle was about to throw him the pillow for the second time, he quickly grabbed her hands.
As they were both struggling for the pillow, Annabelle fell on top of him. And at that moment, she found herself steadily staring deep into his eyes while he did the same.
Raymond raised his right palm and placed it on her left cheek while she held his hand still staring at him. They almost got carried away when Raymond’s phone rang, bringing them back to reality.
And immediately, Annabelle got off his body and readjusted her nightwear. Then, while Raymond was on call, she found her way into the bathroom where she placed her hand on her chest.
“What was that earlier? Honestly, sharing a single room with this guy is now becoming very difficult for me to handle. God, please help me,” she said clenching her chest.
Stepping out of the bathroom, she saw Raymond taking off his shirt. Seeing this, she immediately covered her eyes with her hands leaving spaces in between in such a way that she could still see through them.
When Raymond turned and saw her, he just scoffed and shook his head.
Annabelle was still trying to compose herself when Raymond removed his shorts and was left with his underwear.
Annabelle being a naughty girl, opened her hands well so she could use her eyes to weigh the quality of the weapon that was in between his legs. And from her examination, Raymond had everything in check.
“Why don’t you take off your hands and enjoy the view instead of pretending to be covering your eyes when they are still popping out between your fingers? What a clown,” Raymond said with a smile.
Hearing this, Annabelle quickly took her hand away from her face and started fiddling with her fingers.
At that moment she saw Raymond walking towards her. And the more he took a step forward, she took a step back, until her back was now pressed against the wardrobe.
Raymond leaned in and Annabelle, thinking he was going to kiss her, quickly closed her eyes, but the next thing she got was a pinch on her cheek.
“Raymond!” she exclaimed, rubbing her cheek.
“What wild thoughts are you visualizing in your mind right now?” he asked, reaching for his clothes.
“I wasn’t imagining anything,” Annabelle said and walked away.
Hearing this, Raymond just scoffed and shook his head.
A few moments later, the four of them met at the restaurant, which was located in the hotel. There they had breakfast and finally planned how to go about their business meetings with their clients.
“Since we have two different places to visit today, I’m suggesting that we go in pairs. Deji will go with Annabelle to meet our clients in the first company. While I and Raymond will meet the other clients. And please remember to bring out your best in these meetings. Try as much as possible, to get them to invest and buy our new products,” Roseline said.
“Can I please go with Raymond instead?” Annabelle asked, raising her hand.
“I would have liked to go with Deji too. But you see, only I and Deji are experienced and familiar with this kind of deals. And since you and Raymond are new to this, I figured it would be best if you went with someone with enough experience. So Deji will go with you to put you through while I will go with Raymond to do the same. I think that’s the best thing to do in a situation like this. Because on a normal day I would rather have gone with Deji. So I hope you understand my reasons,” Roseline said.
Hearing this, Annabelle sighed sadly while Deji gave her a mischievous grin.
Deji you think you will succeed
