Shade of Lust (Episode 21)

''What do you mean by which relationship?” she asked with a
slightly raised tone. I instantly sensed danger which I wasn’t ready
to face that moment. I yawned and headed to my room.

‘’I’m very tired Cynthia. We will talk later. I have to freshen up first’’
I muttered, leaving her with no choice than to let me be.
However after dinner that fateful evening, she brought up the topic
again instead of going back to her house. My greatest wish really
was to break up with her there and then but Cynthia was nothing
but a venomous viper that needed to be handled with care. I still
had a lot going on in my head and I knew breaking up with her that
moment wasn’t a good idea. It wasn’t the right time to kick her out
of my life.

‘’our relationship is okay by me. I just don’t know what you are
trying to achieve with the topic’’ I breathed, throwing her a quick
suspicious look.
‘’or are you pregnant?’’ I asked. She stared at me silently for some
seconds before shrugging with resignation. It was as if she had
something important to tell me but decided to keep it to herself
after my comment.

However after some minutes of silence between us, she cleared
her throat and spoke
‘’we have been together for a long time now but you are yet to
introduce me to your family or even take a step in knowing mine.
Am I wasting my time with you?’’ she asked seriously, leaving all
her eyes on me.

Yes her question looked like a good opportunity to tell her my
mind. She asked the prying question as if she was ready to accept
any reply from me but I wasn’t a kid. I knew all she needed was an
assurance that I would take our relationship to the next level. I
knew she was never going to take any negative answer from me.
I forced out a smile, reached out and held her hand.
‘’we are together because I still want to be with you. But there are
some things you need to change. Your aggressive behavior turns
me off a lot’’ I said calmly while a smile of relief appeared on her
face.

‘’I love you very much Kelvin’’ she muttered softly. I looked down
with guilt, saying nothing to her love declaration.
She ended up spending the night in my house, hoping for a night of
passion between us but unfortunately I had no appetite for s-x
because I had a lot in my head. All my thoughts were on Jessica.
I had to map out a strategy to gain her trust and unravel the
mystery surrounding my uncle’s death.
Early the next day, I invited Jude over to my house. I had a lot to
tell him.

Jude’s side of the story continues Tracy and I held unto each other as we passionately kissed for the
first time ever. It was so fulfilling, so thrilling and so sweet. I truly
never wanted to spoil her. I never wanted to defile her but the
passion between us that moment was so electrifying that I lost my
head. I didn’t know when my right hand moved over to her left
br.east but the instant my hand felt the softness, I quickly pulled
back from her.

‘’no Tracy, not now’’ I stammered.
‘’yes you are right. We shouldn’t let what we feel take control of
us’’ she breathed and backed me, perhaps out of embarrassment.
‘’so are you still going home with me?’’ she asked. I softly held her
by the waist.

‘’I think you should first go alone. Maybe after some days, I will
build the courage to pay a visit and by then you must have told
your family more about me’’ I answered softly while she shrugged.
‘’very well then, that’s fine by me. I have to go prepare dinner’’ she
muttered, turned and flashed me a quick smile which said a lot of
silent words.
‘’let’s go together’’ I offered like old times. She smiled once again
and together we headed to her room where I kept her company
throughout the rest of the evening.

Early the next morning, Kelvin gave me a call, asking me to come
over to his house immediately.
‘’no excuses this time, It’s important’’ he added and hung up,
leaving me with no choice to meet him at his house by 8am.

I walked into Kelvin’s house full of curiosity. It was the first time he
was ordering me to show up in such manner and I couldn’t help
but wonder what it was all about.
I walked into his sitting room, to see him busy with his computer.
He smiled on seeing me and asked me to sit beside him which I did
obediently.

‘’look at the screen. You see the lady there?’’ he asked as my eyes
fell on a Facebook picture of a very attractive lady.
‘’she is Jessica Simon. She could be the key to the mystery
surrounding your dad’s death. She was the last person seen with
him the day he died. I have to show you this for you to trust me.
For you to know that I’m working fully on your side’’ he muttered
while I gnashed my teeth as anger boiled over me.

I so badly had the urge to pay the gold digger a visit behind
Kelvin’s back.
