CHAPTER 16
He did not say anything at all to Emma for a complete day. He wanted to plant in her that worry and escalate her care and fears for him.
So, when he finally called her first thing the next day, Emma was speechless and breathless.
She had been thinking about him since their last encounter. And now…
"Hey Em."
"Hey…" she released the breath she had no idea she had been holding in.
"I am so sorry for not calling since. I promise things are going to be better. I had an emergency situation I really needed to take care of. So I was off my phone for that period of time and immediately I could call you again, I did."
"It is okay. Who am I to complain, anyway."
"Do not say that, Em. You are my girlfriend now and you matter most to me in this world."
Just hearing Abaddon speak in such a manner only made Emma blush and forget about how she felt. But she was too enthralled by his voice alone and the fact that he knew how to use the right words.
'Oh Emma, okay we can let this slide. He had a genuine enough reason. But why waste time anyway on getting angry when I can actually just enjoy and spend time with him. Okay, forgiving him it is.'
"Emma, are you there? Ems?"
She gasped, completely unaware of how well she spaced out just now but tried to quickly compose herself as though he was watching her. "Oh sorry. I was just lost in thoughts."
"Oh no! I guess I did offend my baby so much to make her lost in thoughts while I am speaking."
"No. I did not mean any of that, Abaddon. I…" she took in a deep breath first, preventing herself from saying any more words that would further spoil the situation for the two of them.
"Fine. I am not angry and I have forgiven you. Please do not feel bad. I understand. Of course, you would have emergencies and you are permitted to. It is just, I wasn't prepared that was all."
"I am so sorry, baby. Do not worry, as I said, I would ensure it never repeats itself again."
"Thanks."
"Now, in other to compensate, how about we go somewhere for a vacation and spend time together? Let me pamper and spoil my baby a bit to atone for my sins against her."
Emma could not believe her ears. She had just started dating him and he was ready to spoil her silly. How come…?
She was speechless already. Yes, she grew up in the orphanage before she was set free into the world but never once had she had a boy who would spoil her silly or even want to worship her.
Before Abaddon could even think of persuading her again, She jumped at the thought and scream a big Yes into the phone.
"YES! Yes, Abby, I would go with you. Anywhere, so long as I can get time to be with you."
"A deal it is then. Do not worry, we are going for a dinner date first, today. I want to spend whatever quality time I can with you first then by the weekend, be prepared to be ravaged in more ways than one by me, as I worship your goddess beauty."
If only Abaddon could see her, he would have seen how much she was blushing from ear to ear just at the thought of his ravaging skills.
She had no doubt at all, that he was going to be capable. Her not so sharp discernment, already enabled her to know that his manhood would not disappoint her and leave her begging and gasping for more till she was spent.
A part of her already told her she would be addicted to him soon if not obsessed.
For Abaddon, although, he was not there to see her, he was watching her right from where he sat down in his sitting room. All of her behaviours and antics, he could very much visualize.
It was more like he was watching a TV screen. If only Emma knew that the gift given, especially when he wore it for her, already had a demonic surveillance touch on it.
"Okay baby. I would leave you to prepare. I want my baby to look the best tonight."
"Sure. I would not disappoint."
"Oh baby, you wouldn't be able to disappoint me, darling. Alright, see you. We leave at six. Be prepared, I would be at your doorstep at exactly 6 pm."
"Got it."
"Bye baby, I love you."
Rather than replying to him, she blushed a crimson red and smiled into the phone as if he could see her. Well, technically he did see her. But she wasn't aware.
"Hold that blush for me and show it to me when we see."
Before she had a chance to ask him how he knew she was blushing, Abaddon ended the call and smiled at her.
She was speechless but she could not even say anything as her mind had already taken her to wonderland.
'Great, Emma just keep blushing like that and thinking. In no time, I would have your soul. This is going to be mad fun.' Abaddon thought within him.
For some reason, he did not get up yet but kept on watching her, her smile and everything. The more he did, the more it fuelled his ego on taking her soul and learning more and more ways to enthral her.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot." Picking up his phone, he placed a call to an unknown number.
"Good afternoon, Love's Fashions here."
