CHOICELESS; I wish I am me

Angela didn't utter a word. She feared he might run them into an accident.

Leo regretted his actions. "I'm sorry for yelling." He said remorsefully.

"I understand," Angela replied, tittering. She feared saying anything that could erupt that fierce part of him again.

A few minutes later, they arrived at Angela's house. Angela suggested he pulled over at their threshold gate, instead of driving her in; so that he could drive back to his house on time. She didn't want him to visit her parents. She feared he might tell on her about Edwin's call.

Leo decided not to wake a sleeping dog. The last thing on his mind was to permit the repetition of what had happened earlier.

He came down from his car and hastened his steps towards the front door. He opened the door for her to step out, giving her a kiss on her forehead and a peck subsequently. Did I forget to mention that he gave her a warm embrace too?

The reek from his perfume was seductive. Any girl would long for a man wearing such perfume. 

His kiss was warm. It reminded Angela of her first kiss with Edwin. It was so passionate that she longed to feel him inside of her. Had it been they didn't control how they felt that day, she would have been a mother by now.

"Do take care of yourself; and please drive carefully," Angela uttered.

Leo was relieved on hearing such. At least, she had his well-being at heart.

"I will, my love." He replied, blowing a kiss to her. He opened the car door and zoomed off afterward.

Angela stood outside, trailing his car with her eyes until it was out of sight. She walked towards the gate and gave a gentle pound on it.

The gate was opened by Mr. Akpan instantly, and she walked in. 

She went straight to her room. There was no sign of her parents. She only met Miss. Anna, the housekeeper.

Closing the door as she entered her room, she fell loosely into her bed. She stared at the white PVC ceiling, patterned with flowers. She began playing back everything that had happened with Leo, as she smirked.

Immediately, her phone signaled a message received in her inbox. She picked up her phone off the bed, unlocked it; and entered her inbox.

It was Edwin, he had sent the location for their dinner date. She was elated on reading such. She pulled her phone to her chest, smiling to herself. She longed to be wrapped in his arms.

The joy in her heart turned into a pool of bile. Her warm smile turned into a cold frown. Tears gushed down her cheeks. She couldn't imagine leaving Edwin. The thought of how he would take it when she finally break the news to him, tormented her.

A few minutes later, she felt relieved. Her eyelids were puffy, she had cried her eyes out. 

Seeing that she had more time left before her dinner date, she decided to take a nap. She took off her shoes and laid properly in the bed.  Covered herself with her bleached duvet, and dozed off.

Waking up three hours later, she realized that she had an hour to prepare for her dinner date.

She ran into the bathroom at once, the pitter_patter of the rushing shower was heard, as she took her bath. 

A few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom with her white cotton towel wrapped around her chest.

Her hair dripped warm water from the shower. She danced and sang as she brought out her outfit for the night.

She imagined dancing a ballroom dance with Edwin. She moved from one corner to another, with her eyes closed, her hands hung in the air; as she imagined Edwin holding them. Suddenly, her towel fell off to the ground leaving her bare.

She bent to pick it up immediately. Wrapping it again all over herself quickly, her eyes searched aimlessly to make sure no one had seen her, even when she knew she was all alone in the room; and her door locked.

She needed to look as sexy as possible. She was about to meet the love of her life.

She donned her black sleeveless mini gown, that clung to her body. Revealing all her natural endowments.

She wore her black heels, diamond necklace; and earrings.

Her hair was styled in long layers, enhancing her natural texture, and giving her hair a fuller look. She applied some makeup too and dark lipstick.

She was fire, any man can do anything just to have the sexy figure posing seductively in the mirror.

It meant more than just a dinner date to her. She was ready to have a taste of him inside of her. Knowing that it might be the last time she will be opportune to be with the one man that meant the whole world to her.

She wore the perfume he had bought for her. Of which the fragrance always made him to be red with desire. It was customized just for her. The reek from it reminded him of no one but her.

Angela was ready to create that permanent memory with Edwin. No one deserves to have a taste of her for the first time, than the man of her dreams. She took her diamond-designed purse and cat walked downstairs. 

The driver Edwin had sent just arrived, Angela could hear his horn. 

She walked straight to the kitchen and informed Miss. Anna, who was preparing dinner, that she was visiting Margret, her childhood friend.

She was her partner in crime. Angela knew that she had her back if her parents should by any way call for confirmation.

She entered the car, and the driver sped off instantly.

The driver drove her to a five-star hotel. She wondered where Edwin had gotten the money to take her to a five-star hotel for dinner. 

She smiled, at the sight of Edwin.

The last time she had seen him was at their induction ceremony. He didn't change a bit. He was still the same beautiful guy she had known him to be.

He was tall, slim, and dark-skinned. His facial features, including his dimple cheeks, pointed nose; and almond eyes, described him as a black beauty.

He smiled, as he swagged towards her. Her heart jolted, she could hear the sound of her heartbeat. 

He landed a warm kiss on her lips and handed her the red bouquet in his grip.

"You look beautiful." He commented with a smile.

"Thanks," she replied, returning the smile.

The duo walked hand in hand together into the hotel. "I have missed having you by my side," He whispered to her ears, concluding it with a peck.

Angela blushed as she replied; "same here."

Edwin had booked a room for both of them.  The room was spacious. There was a round table with two seats facing in opposite directions. The bed had red flowers carved in the 'i love you' pattern. 

'It seemed like he had the same intension as me for our dinner date.' Angela thought to herself as she strolled around the room admiring its interior decorations.
