Writer's POV
"Why did you lie?" Christian asked, increasing the pace of his thrusts, making Beth moan in helpless abandon."I...uh..." The words she tried coming up with, stuttered and quivered into a moan. Christian didn't even wait for her response. He swallowed all of her moan as he kissed her senselessly.
"Tell me why you lied that you still love...Oh fuck.. I can't mention his name. You feel so warm and tight. So good to me." Christian breathed the last four words, as his sweat dripped off from his forehead and touched hers, while he kept on twirling his waist. Making Beth's eyes quiver into their sockets."Don't stop... Don't stop." She gasped out, clinging further onto his back. While Christian stopped the thrusts right at that moment, just to take a look of her beautiful face that still had the childlike nature.
"Tell my why you lied to me, Beth. I deserve to know."
And then, he began pounding deep into her
Writer's POV Flashback. What next Pete did surprised Beth, because he stretched forth his hand to her hair, and she shifted backwards before he could. Then gave him a questioning look. "I uh, was just trying to take dirt off your hair." He said, then blew out a big breath of frustration. It seemed he was already getting fed up with her attitude towards him, but was still staying because maybe, just maybe he meant every word. She thought. "I'm sorry, I don't like someone touching my hair." Beth said, and he knew she was lying. However, she asked him to still take the dirt off her hair. And watched him cautiously as began doing as she had instructed. He raised his hand up and then touched her hair at first. Something which sent shivers down her spine, and generated goosebumps on her every single pore. She took
Writer's POVAnd Beth stood up, with tears welling up in her eyes. It was the first time Christian was telling her to leave his house. And the what hurt even more was that she wouldn't see him again, after that day.Christian had this look of pain in his face, as he watched her picking her clothes off the floor. He had loved her more than the way he had ever loved anyone."Wait." He stopped her, then advanced towards her. Staring so hard at her beautiful nude body, that he himself was getting hard again. But he decided to restrain himself from taking her right there and then. Beth was skinny, but had round bountiful breasts, something which was so sexually alluring to Christian.Beth waited with her heart swelling with hurt that she was even panting deeply, inhaling and exhaling, watching how Christian's eyes were darkening a shade greener, as his eyes did a once over on her nude body, as if it was just the first time he was seeing her naked before.
Writer's POVFlashbackBeth wasn't feeling too well, inspite of the medications she had taken. With her grandma Patricia absent and was at her company. And Christian had come to visit as usual. He had placed a trash bin at her side, and stroked her back as she vomited. After that, he had heat can soup for her, and then fed her.He had seem so concerned, and acted like her elder brother, by forcing the spoonful of soup into her mouth. He had fed her till the soup can was empty, and then wore her stockings when she had complained that she was feeling cold on her feet. He had doubled the stockings, and then covered her with the sheet covers.That was the day Beth discovered that Christian wasn't only a good guitarist, but also a song writer and a singer.He sat on the bed, and began playing his guitar, pausing only to write down on a sheet of paper, lyrics of songs that had popped in his head
Writer's POVBeth decided to let her thoughts drift off to the first day she had seen Christian. Because he was still hugging her from behind. With their naked bodies clasped together.FlashbackThe sand coloured haired waitress had come to take her order with a friendly smile, plastered on her face. Because she knew Beth as one of their regular customers, and the two were quite acquainted.After chatting for a few moments, she left to go bring Beth's order, while Beth sat even more on her chair, and decide to take in view of the deco of the restaurant. Heavy fans were on the ceiling, that spun lazily, reducing the variety smell of food.Beth's phone beeped with a text message, and she had carried the phone up from the tabletop to read the context of the text message.That was the moment, two boys made their way into the restaurant, cursing in their thick
Writer's POV"I'm leaving for Nigeria tomorrow." Beth announced so suddenly, in a distressful manner, that Christian was quite confused for a few moments. He blinked a few times, and when his brain properly aligned what he just heard, he disengaged himself from the hug and recoiled a step backwards."Leaving?" He questioned, with his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Why?""Because I have a life there. I only came here for three months, and today is my last day on here. That's why I lied to you. I couldn't bring myself to tell you, because I was so scared." Beth responded, hugging her naked body to herself, with her head down and her shoulders sagging in worry.He had finally gotten the truth from her. Forcefully.
Flashback nine years.Writer's POVBeth recalled all that just happened. It was music class, and it was her turn to sing. She had even worn her best dress to school on that day, and had tried to aww the class, because her uncle and grandpa had pointed out that she had a very nice voice for singing. They had really complimented her dress that morning, telling her how beautiful she was. And she had believed them. Only to arrive at school, at get laughed at by her classmates. Worse, her voice was being mocked, and she was being thrown food, by these classmates. Something her teacher couldn't put to stop. Rather she let it all happened to her. Despite it was really wrong. And she wasn't supposed to be treated like that.The world was cruel. She thought.Because she had wanted to fit in, wanted to be liked by all. But she had made a big fool of herself, by assuming she was going to get praised for singing p
I knew I did the right thing, by choosing to walk out of Christian's life. Not that I had a choice anyway. And inspite of my heart being sick, guilt still stung me deeply. Because Christian loved me so much. And it hurt that I left him. I could still remember how I had met him, and how things had transpired between us. The way he had carried me on his back as we walked on the subway. How he had sang songs, and made me fall more in love with him. And how he had pleasured me to the extent that I began wondering what on Earth I had been doing with my life, before I met him. But I had left. Because I had a life in Nigeria. My parents and siblings were awaiting for my return. And I had to be tutored in Maths. I knew Christian was already hurting because of me. Then thought about how easily Christian would forget me, because he already had multiple sexual partners. I could still recall how Christian
Christian had told me when we were just friends, that he could never stick to just one person. Christian was only inlove with me, but didn't leave the numerous women and girls in his life. He still carried on with his relationship with them. Something which had made me to feel really insecure, back in London. And on the contrary, I thought it was good things ended between us. Because I could no longer contain that feeling of not being the only one. I was quite relieved on that part. Whenever I saw him with a girl, I would have this thought of him having and affair with the girl. And it made me really uneasy. I loved him so much, but I didn't have peace of mind. Since I kept myself for him alone, but he couldn't do the same. Although I had accepted that he couldn't be with only me, that there were other girls he treated just like me, but that couldn't stop me from loving him. Even though it hurt me greatly, that I would never be the only on
Eight years later. Today, I and Renny are married with a kid, and expecting the second. It was really amusing how things went on between us, from when I was sixteen. From being my neighbor, to saving me from getting manhandled and raped in the middle of the night. It's something I would never forget. That night, mom was at night duty, and the youngest of my siblings was not feeling too well, so I had to take her to go meet mom, so she would be tended to. Though it was late, but I had managed to take her there with the help of a cab. And on my way coming back, the can that dropped me off, refused to go further into our street, since it was 1a.m in the morning. I had begged him to go drop me in front of our gate, but he refused, on seeing three tough looking men, who stared at him like they wanted to bash his skull. I nearly cried, when the cab driver told me to hop out of his car. And I did, with fear causing goose
I saw Renny the following day, when I was going out for my morning run. He was putting on a sweat shirt, joggers, and black converse. He looked really good without his hoodie, and I could see that he had a skin cut. But despite this, he was still very much handsome. I stopped for a split second and blinked out of confusion, wondering where the hell he came out from, or if I was just seeing things. He gave me a wink, and then ran passed me. Something which left me dumbstruck. Plus it seem as though, he wasn't as bad as I had labeled him. After he helped me out the previous days. It looked like he had been stalking me, because I was beginning to see him everywhere. But then, I discovered that he just packed into the neighborhood with his dad and younger sister. Which added a stamp to the fact that I was going to be seeing more of him. Something which made me to feel very uncomfortable. Mom made everyth
The next time I saw Renny, was when I took my siblings to the park. It was a Saturday, and mom had taken baby Jessica to the hospital with her. And I was instructed to take Damon and Tracey to the park, so they could have fun. After giving them their bath, and wearing them nice clothes, I ordered for an Uber which arrived very fast. And then we headed straight to the park. Renny was the least of the person's I was expecting to see. He was there with his friends, laughing, talking and having a good time. There were girls with them, and I was wondering which one was his girlfriend. One black petite girl had her arm wrapped around his the whole time, that I could feel jealousy crawling on my skin. Something I couldn't understand, because Renny was a guy I was supposed to hate, after what he did at Emily's house. He had insulted me. So why was I feeling jealous that he was with a girl? And immediately he saw me,
I was at the mall, doing grocery shopping when I saw a guy dressed in black hoodie, staring directly at me. Probably his eyes had been fixed on me for along time. And when he saw that I had caught him looking, he refused to look away. Instead, he carried on staring. And this made me really uncomfortable and stirred up anger inside of me. Some people lacked manners, because it really was inappropriate to carry on staring at someone you don't even know. And I hated to see that this guy was still staring at me like that. This had me wondering if he was some criminal, or kidnapper. We were in Lagos, and strange things always happened. Maybe he was looking at me, because he wanted to use me for rituals. I hurriedly snap out of those negative thoughts. Assuming maybe the person was just innocent. Or he was looking at me that way because he had interest in me. My boobs always sold me out, where ever I went. And it caused a lot of perverts to
Few weeks later, I was released and I went back to my normal life. Although mom made sure she always checked up on me, in the middle of the night, to see if I was going to sneak out of the house to attend night parties. I wouldn't blame her, though. It was something a typical mother would do, in safety of her child. Alcohol and sneaking out late at night was illegal for my age, and mom being a doctor ensured that I was always at home. She kept watchful eyes over me, whenever she wasn't on her night shifts. She did this because she didn't want me sneaking out of the house at night. Not like I would even do it. Because what I went through, taught me a great lesson. Although I used to sneak out of the house, to drink alcohol. Because it made me to sometimes forget about my past failed relationships. Which reminded me of the ill stbistin luck I had, ahen it came to my love life. The one with Pete, and then Christian. I didn't e
Present. After mom caught me trying to sneak info my room, she grounded me for a whole month. And also refused Emily from coming to the house to pay me visits. I was to babysit my younger siblings, get tutored in Maths, and just read till I drift to sleep. Mom also seized my phone and deprived me of watching TV. She was really disappointed that I could sneak out of the house at night, to go to Emily's house for night parties. And used every slightest opportunity to tell me how disappointed she was in me. She told Dad about it, and he laughed over it. Saying I was just a teen who was trying to break the rules. He even claimed that it was very normal. And this had made mom to groan out of frustration. Because she was expecting him to agree with her. Which he clearly didn't. Things were quite hard for me. I didn't have the freedom to do things I wanted. And this made me miss London so much. That I began regrettin
