As he paused in his tracks looking at the window but couldn't see anyone. Trying to calm his heart he heard another knock
Knock knock
His heart began pacing as he couldn't see who it was.
"what's happening to me why am I so stressed ah it should be the wind," he thought, and just then
knock knock
"He slowly pushed open the door to confront his fear and the next moment what he saw was
"Yell"
he cried out
"you scared me what are you doing here?".
A look of fright could be seen on his as he wasn't prepared for what just happened.
After a moment of silence, he stirred at his son that looked downcast as his father unexpectedly shouted at him
This made the situation awkward in his mind.
Yelline said "Dadi me sorri" and soon sounds of snobs followed
James bent over and took Yelline into his hands and said
"Humph you know I really got scared there, who thought you that ha-ha, if you do the same thing to your mom I will give you something great"
This made Yelline pouf out his jaws with a triumphant expression
He surely thought this in his mind
"To be cute is a fatal weapon and my cuteness makes me supreme"
As he said
"Okay Dadi"
"Come lets head into the house now your mom should be waiting for us"
Just then he took a packet from the car seat and locked his car
"Dadi wat iz tat in yor hans"
"Its a surprise wait till we reach home before you open it"
As he held Yelline, he passed the gift to him a look of curiosity could be seen on his face wondering what was inside.
They started heading into the house and just as he opened the door he was welcomed with a wondrous voice as she stood a few distances away from the door with eloquence her voice sounded as she muttered
"In an instance
I can only hear his steps
And his visage
Is all I keep in thoughts
Longing for his touch
So my body can yell for him
In his absence
I can only bear to wait
For his return
So my thoughts can be at ease
For by his side
My worries fade away
Oh how daring is his presence
His embrace burns my soul
His whispers bewitch me
I can only be caught off-guard
By his every desire
I belong to him "
By F
As he stirred at her he gulped down saliva and spoke with the flow of her passion
"Oh to my rose I return
In her embrace, I lay, my soul,
To quench the taste of my desires
To satisfy the pleasure of my heart
With grief, I was filled
Unable to appease my thoughts
To feel her warmth was what it wanted
To hear her heartbeat alongside mine
In resonance, I wish for my breath
To be with hers
So the sounds of her moans
Can be a melody to my ears "
By F
The atmosphere suddenly turned wild as James' footsteps could be heard approaching Rachel. Her eyes burnt with passion as she tried to engrave the moment in her mind.
Yelline watched the scene on his face could be seen a smile.
He had a smile that said "please don't stop"
As James neared Rachel and just a few inches away from each other.
He gently moved his hand around her face, as he said
"Your beauty really makes me captive to you"
slowly bringing his face closer to hers he landed a kiss on her lips. This act seems to have transgressed space.
Yelline could be seen with his hands covering his eyes
As he slowly opened his finger gaps to capture the scene.
A silly smile appeared over his face.
James let his hands move on Rachel's hips pulling her closer to him, a soft moan came out from her mouth, as her breathing rapidly increased.
"W wait Yelline is watching us," Rachel said
"He is our son right ?" James asked
he added
"what's wrong for him to see his dad kissing his mom"
slowly he took his lips away from hers as he cuddled in her arms.
"I really did miss you I can't even control myself when I am by you"
"We really are complete now"
"I did miss you too, it not easy for me to stay far from you " Rachel responded to him
"Okay, what do you think about going out altogether to have our day ?." James asked
"Well that's fine by me," Rachel said with a smile on her face
"But you know you so busy and you return home late this day"
"Ha that's true but don't worry this charming prince of yours will make some time just so you can know how much you want to always be in his arms"
James worked in an affiliated branch of the NT Organization that dealt with microcontrollers. This branch was located at Mvog Mbi Coron a far distance from where he resided at Bastos, and as the general manager, he needed to do his best to impress his employees as well as his Dad. Making him sometimes stay at work due to excessive work.
"Mo Momi hungri mi wan tu it"
Then came Yelline interrupting the beautiful moment.
"Oh come here let me unpack your gift," his Dad said
"He finished unpacking the gift, a little football could be seen"
A bright and magnificent smile filled Yelline's face as he took the ball from his dad
"Okay what do you have to say when you receive a gift," Rachel asked looking at him with a serious expression
"Tank cuo dadi"
He was filled with happiness it was so cute, the following seconds he started kicking the ball around he completely forgot about his hunger.
"Yell not now tomorrow you'll have all day to play now let's go to the table"
"Oki momi" as he ran to the table with his new companion
"Why did you buy him a ball," Rachel asked James as the got ready for dinner
"Well cause I never had the opportunity to have one when I was like him and I am happy I did buy it he looks really happy don't you think ?"
"His smile looks just like yours," she said as they sat down at the table
"Okay Yell ball away wash your hands time to eat"
They began washing their hands to enjoy their meals by using their hands rather than spoons, waterfufu and eru tasted better when eaten by hand
Rachel dished Yelline's food as well and that of James
"so who will pray for the meal today," James asked
Yelline scream opting to be the one
"Fater God wi tank cuo for te fod yin frot yof us, God bles momi bles dadi mak tem yove mi much Amen"
As soon as he finished he started laughing causing his parents to join him in his flow.
What a beautiful family they make unfortunately joy never lasts forever and when hardship comes it's enough to break everything built over years.
"Wow it's so nice I really love your cooking style, " James said
"I can't eat anyone else food if not yours "
"You always make me shy with your beautiful compliments"
Yelline didn't care looking at his parents this time around as oil could be seen over his mouth, hold a slice of meat and struggling to bite it off.
After dinner, James decided to wash the dishes with Rachel which she quickly turned down only God knows what will happen in the kitchen if both of them went to wash the dishes it might turn into something else and Yelline is still to sleep.
So he decided to play around with Yelline
After 45 minutes of playing and laughing
Rachel came and meet them in the living room.
Seeing that his mom and dad sat around him he felt extremely happy and asked for them to read poems for him
James cleared his throat and began
To our beloved
To our precious
To our adorable
To our marvelous
We want you to remember
Just how much we love you
Just how much you mean to us
And how pleased we are with your existence
You made things become magical
You brought back what was forgotten
And made everything to turn genuinely extraordinary
Having you is a blessed experience in our life
You are special
You are unique
You are our love
Forever you will be "
By F
"oh nice agin agin "
Yelline shouted with excitement this was his favorite part of the day having his parents say these glorious words.
"Okay let me be the one to steal the show now" Rachel lightly said
"In our world, you came
We were but slaves
Just mere commoners
Deprived of all
And even our happiness
You didn't bring more pain to us
But rather you took the chains off
Your voice sounded with authority
As you united us before your presence
From commoners to royalty we became
Tell me why won't we love you
Why won't we care for you?
When all you brought
Is what we couldn't afford
It has become the very essence of our being"
By F
"He really is lucky to have all these poems just for him I feel kinda envious|," James said with a smile on his face
"am so exhausted" he added while carrying Yelline in his arms.
Rachel looked at both of them and reflected over the past and she said
"He really did make us complete don't you think the house feels lively for the past two years".
She paused for a moment and then continued
"Now that I look from this angle you look more handsome"
James was indeed handsome as he had an athletic body and a height of 1.80cm with a well proportionate chocolate skin color and a clear and innocent-looking face. Enough to make any girl want to knee for him.
His abs were made just for a single woman to rest her head on, and for her hands to caress them as much as she wanted.
His eyes were average with brown colored eyes. While Rachel's appearance was stunning enough to be considered her a beauty beyond beauties
Her eyes were as sharp as a dagger and dark in color.
Her body was beyond comparison, slim, with captivating hips, and her butt was enough to keep her man in place, with C cup breast. There was nothing else James could ask from God.
His wife wasn't a prideful woman, which was rare to see such women in Cameroon that could maintain themselves and purity of thoughts when they had money all around them
In his eyes, she was just perfect.
"And you look adorable," James said
as she replied
"Its all for you and no one else after all know can make me feel what you make me feel"
Yelline laid comfortably on his dad's chest while watching his favorite TV show.
They really do deserve to be happy for heaven made them pass through a lot of hardship
...............…
"You serious you want us to go visit them at this time of the night it's late already," a man said with an annoying voice
"Its only 7:20 pm and we can just take the opportunity and watch the CRTV News with them, this way we can learn about each other better" interjected a woman that seemed 5 years younger than him
"Let's just go in the morning I am so exhausted this isn't fair I had to work my ass all day to put things in other at-home" cried the man
"Mack stop no harsh words Emillie is around please, I don't want her to start swearing at her young age"
said the woman with a frown on her face
"And sorry Rose"
replied the man named Mack.
"Emillie turn the Tv off let's go visit our neighbors"
A cute looking little girl turned her face with a ray of disapproval in her eyes.
As she slowly turned the TV off.
"mama I don wan e go tere" she said looking tearful
Well anyone will act the way she did her favorite Tv show got interrupted and she was about to go visit some strange.
But little did she know that because of a certain particular stranger she'll have to risk her life to survive in future
"This makes two vs one since my little angel is with me then we can rest for the night"
Mack said with a triumphant expression
Unfortunately his wife Rose was an iron lady that followed her protocols strictly
"Okay now Mack take the bowls and dishes lets go," Rose said
As she brought Emillie closer to her whispering something into her ears this cause the little girl to smile. It felt like she was a completely different person.
Seeing the scene Mack gave up on rebelling
"Okay you win"
As they headed outside to go visit a nearby house
.................
"My love I think I forgot to tell you something that happened today"
"and what can that be," he asked
"The house over the roadside seem to have people there now "
"oh is that
bell ringing
Just then the bell was rang
"who can that be at this time"
He walked towards the door and look through the door hole and could see three people outside. He slowly opened the door
"Good evening we are your new neighbors, " Rose said we a beautiful smile on her face.
"Oh please come in, " James said as he thought
Is this a coincidence or what?
"Wow what a magnificent house its soo pretty just wow, your curtains are so cute"
Rose said
"Please have a seat," Rachel said
As Rose looked at her she couldn't believe her eyes
as she muttered
"Y you are so resplendent"
gulping down saliva she quickly tried to look at her husband to be sure he wasn't bewitched by this woman in front of him.
Seeing her husband was already bewitched she pinched him
"Awo that hurts what did I do, " Mack asked softly
"Keep those eyes for me alone or I'll have to plug them off
The atmosphere soon turned awkward as they sat Emillie went straight to where Yelline was and sat with him.
He looked at her and she looked at him as well they both didn't say a word and focused on their Cartoon Network show together.
The current program was Looney toons so it really was a great time killer for them at their age.
Laughter could be heard coming from both of them and slowly they began conversing
"We are Noah's family"
"Here is my husband Noah Mack, My daughter Noah Emillie who is over there"
"And I am Noah Rose"
"We just moved in today, " Mack said with a smile on his face
"Of course they know we just moved in today," Rose said
Rachel laughed at this pair in front of her eyes as they were so funny.
James sited by her couldn't hold himself either
"I am Nkem James, my wife Nkem Rachel"
And over there is our son "Nkem Yelline Kuobi"
"wow Yelline what a great name," Rose said
"So hope you like your new leaving area. ?"
Rachel asked
"Well it sure is a peaceful and calm area, it really is filled with a great house over here," Rose said
Just then she looked at the table and could see a book that looked familiar to her.
Out of her curiosity, she asked "Please is that the book entitled 'Realm of Emotions' by F"
"Yes, it is" Rachel responded with surprise.
"I can't believe this wait don't tell me you like poetry as well"
"well not that I do like poetry but I can say I love it and my husband as well" Rachel responded
"oh your husband that's so great mine is so poor with words that I feel like my daughter was more romantic than him"
hearing his wife speak this way of him Mack humphed clearing his throat
James decided to let the women at their own and asked them what he could offer as a drink
"Oh I almost forgot we brought some little food and snacks with us as we were coming," Rose said
"it will be great if we can enjoy it together please"
as she looked at them with an earnest expression
"Okay then no problem then I guess we can have a small meal together," Rachel said
James thought for a while and said "this reminds me of a poem written by F entitled 'Meal' but I can't recall how it began"
Rose look impressed by this and said "I can't even remember seeing such a poem "
They all turned to look at Rachel that had begun setting up the table.
"Why are you guys looking at me this way. ? You think I will know it right ?" she laughed as she spoke.
"My love please come help me set up the table first," she said
"No no, I will do it" Rose hurriedly spoke as she woke up from her chair.
James decided to engage a turn of conversation with Mack while the ladies worked together.
By the side, Emillie and Yelline had already established a bond as they played together leaving Tv and focusing on his ball.
"I think I should put CRTV now the news will soon be over I totally forgot" James
Switching to CRTV he sat back and resumed his discussion with Mack.
5 minutes later Rachel asked everyone to come to the table and have a sit.
"Before we begin I guess you should please recite the poem" Rose pleaded with excitement
"Okay then please listen attentively"
"Oh how I wish to share
A dish with a friend or family
To sit around a meal
To fellowship together as one
I wish to see their smiles
So my heart can be re comforted
It may just be for an instance
But the memory will last forever
Yes a meal I want
With people, I can be with
With people that care about me
Just as I care about them "
