George  arrived late for his lecture and tried not to disturb the class as he quietly found a seat. While trying to get himself in order, his wallet fell down and bending to pick it up, he saw a very tender hand with nice fingers already holding the wallet. He raised his head to see who has those beautiful fingers and it turned out to be the very same blue eyes that made a space forhim on her seat the other day, “here you go,” she said, offering the wallet to him.George was short of words and collected the wallet, saying thank you when he found his voice. He couldn't get his eyes off her again and was so engrossed with her innocent but beautiful looks. He found it hard to concentrate on the lecture and immediately the class was over, he rushed outside to wait for her. There was no way he was missing speaking to her again. Seeing her approaching, he gulped and his heart tightened as he call

Its nine am at St John's church as Richard stood at the altar in awhite suit with Jude beside him as they waited patiently for his bride. Looking down the aisle, he saw her approaching with her uncle. She looked so beautiful and was glowing. He could feel his heart swelling as he thought to himself that in the next hour, she was going to be his wife. “Whoa, she looks charming,” Jude murmured.George smiled and without taking his eyes off Irene , he answered,“I know.”When they were close to the altar, he walked up to them and Joshua handed her to him with a, “take good care of her.”George nodded, “with all that I have.”Irene chuckled at that and they both turned to meet the priest while Joshua went to sit beside a smiling Elizabeth. It was a beautiful wedding and everybody was satisfied with the outcome as they left for the reception. A

Irene was smiling and blushing as she booked an appointment with her doctor to formally check her newly found pregnancy since George said it’s better to have another doctor handle her than him. "Hi doctor Joan, I would like to see you. Can I fix an appointment with you? I think I'm a few weeks gone.""Wow, that’s a good news, Mrs. Richardson. Come in on Friday morning, I will be available," Doc. Joan replied."That’s okay with me," Irene replied.“I will be looking forward to meeting you. Congratulations once more.”“Thank you,” Irene replied before hanging up the call. She had a knock on the door just as she was hanging up, “please come in,” she turned to the door."Good morning, Ma'am and Congratulations on your little one," Francis said, stepping into the room.Irene smiled, "thank you, but how did you find out?"she asked. "Your husband told me this morning when he w

The next day, Francis woke up alone to discover that Irene was gone; he sat up and kneaded his temple to minimize the hangover he was having. He didn’t need to remember what happened last night because looking at his nude body already said it all. He climbed out of the bed and went into the bathroom to shower, after, he dressed up and left for the kitchen to make breakfast for them. He hoped Irene would come down and join him like she used to, the last thing he wants is last night putting an end to their friendship or whatever it is now after last night.Francis looked at the stairs and when he didn’t see her, he became worried; he stopped chopping the vegetable and walked to the sink to wash his hands. He dried his hands on the apron he was wearing before taking it off. Turning off the cooker, he left the kitchen and went up the stairs. He stopped before a door and without knocking; he pushed open the door and went in.Irene sat up on the bed when she saw

At about 3:45am in Saturday morning, Irene couldn't sleep, all she was thinking about was the way Franciskissed and played with her on their nights together, she was so engrossed with the feelings and she tried to push the thought away but she couldn't. His perfume filled her nose, his smiles and jokes that were so enticing. She kept on turning and tossing on her bed, she raised her head to see if George noticed her sleepless night but he was so deep in sleep. She thought to herself what to do, she needs to feel Francis ’s chest, to hug him so tight, she really need to kiss his lips, his lips that were so soft and tender, his love making so special more like her husband. He was so gently and tender with her unlike George who is always a little bit aggressive. She shook her head to shake away the thought; she forced herself to remember her vow of not cheating on her husband again. But not matter how hard she tried to convince herself that it was wrong longing for a
