Chapter 28 - The day off

As he entered the gate, he parked the car and opened the back seat. He packed all the items and went inside. He bothered not to go to the room but was aghast when he saw the housekeeper on her way out. They greeted them warmly with her explaining that she brought some essentials for Adah and she has been instructed to be the housekeeper alongside the mansion at Bourdilon. Munah knows what that means but bothered not to inquire further as she announced her departure. As She left, Munah relaxed on the long couch and switched on the huge wall television. He was still there when he suddenly drifted off to sleep. It was later he woke up after some minutes past midnight to find Adah by his side on the couch. She was deep asleep but quite uncomfortable. He looked at her and wondered. He got up and not caring anymore, carried her to the room and placed her on the huge bed, and covered her with the blanket. He stood there and watched her for a while, in his mind, he thought of her beauty and body perfectness, her hair and closed brown eyes, and a sensation he cannot explain ran down his spine. It seems to be all a dream. The only child and daughter of one of the most powerful men on planet earth is with him and have vowed her love to him! This can only happen in dreams, movies, and novels. Adah turned and woke up to meet his eyes on her and smiled back to sleep. He moved to the wide bed and laid down as his mind busied on nothing but how to make up his love for Adah. He turned and covered himself with the blanket and in the silence of the night, he heard the ocean as the waves constantly poured on the hilly sandy shore. The whole of Creek Island is quite a beauty. The weather alone is refreshing and the class of people the Island attracts are the rich and mighty. The section where the property is situated is among the most expensive where many do not dare venture. Munah could not sleep as his mind raced to no return on the various happenings that have taken place since he met Adah. He let the thought go and remembered his mother. He knows that if Adah had not intervened, it could have been indeed a sad tale. Thank goodness Lord the surgery was successful and she has entered another stage in her development. He yearned to be by her side and comfort her the best way that he can. He missed her and he regrets their distance from each other. Mrs. Rowlings is the only woman he has come to know and appreciate. His love for her can never be quantified or estimated. They both share a unique bond that is far to explain. He hates to disobey her and had never. Adah turned towards him and unconsciously clasped herself to him, he inhaled her sweet aroma, and not knowing what else to do, he took her in his arms as she raised herself on him. She opened her eyes drowsily looking at him and fell back to sleep.

She woke up in his arms that morning and her mind flashed back to the previous happenings. She stole a quick look at him and recollected how Mrs. Randolph felt that night at the lounge. She looked surprised and concerned at the same time but whatever reaction she displayed, Adah felt quite elated that she has given her a bit of her mind for a lady needs to protect her territory. She smiled to herself and allowed the happiness in her heart to breathe through her whole essence. To her, she knows that she overreacted and though she felt ashamed, she still maintained that her reaction was justified. She knows that she owes him an apology but that will come later for now she feels like celebrating her victory. She released herself from his hold as she noticed daylight and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She discovered that Munah did some shopping alongside that done by the housekeeper. She smiled at his thoughtfulness. She arranged the kitchen and quickly made a quick breakfast. As she was preparing the table, he entered the kitchen and was shocked at what met his eyes. Their eyes met and she smiled, he went to her and hugged her to appreciate her efforts.

After breakfast, Adah decided to take him around the house again. They walked around the rooms which were furnished to taste and lacking nothing. She took him to the swimming pool and the lawn tennis court, explained the basketball court, and took him to the gym room. It was all equipped with the facilities looking brand new. She dragged him to the power house after which they made the long walk to the house, the stairs to the underground office and garage are located close to the stairs. They took the stairs down and arrived at the excellently lit space that housed four office spaces. The offices that they checked were also furnished but without computers. Adah was ecstatic to have made an excellent choice to buy the property, Munah even was short of words at the surprise that met his eyes. From the office, they entered the garage which has a space for about ten cars. The underground office and garage have their separate cooling system which somewhat surprised Munah. Another thing that surprised him was the wireless communication that is installed. When they got upstairs, she officially presented the documents of the property to him and when he saw his name on it as well as hers, he could not control his tears. She just held him to herself and cried too. They finally refrained as she helped him to wipe off the tears from his eyes.

"You have to be patient with me my love," she said looking up at him with a sort of confusion in her brown eyes.

"I will be patient with you for as long as you want. You don't have to ask for this because I have it already in abundance for you." He said with a smile.

"I am sorry for yesterday. Though I owe you an explanation, for now, I am sorry," he said looking into her eyes.

" I owe you one too but I have forgiven you and I have already forgiven you for the offenses yet to be committed. I love you and this love is burning right here in me for only your love will calm me in every way." She said placing his hands on her chest with a bright smile. She is quite tall but he is taller and this is one thing she loves so much for she has long wished for such in her mind. Munah held her to himself swaying her to a gentle dance from a rhythm unknown. They remained like that while she allowed herself to be swayed into rhythms of joy.

"Let's go visit the ocean..." Adah suggested

"If it pleases my queen and the center of my life," Munah said holding her to himself.

" please allow me to prepare..." She begged softly chilling with laughter without looking at him. He allowed her and watched her still standing before him with a smile. Without saying a word he lifted her and carried her to the room. She laughed hysterically as he laid her on the bed, she came down quickly and grabbed him with all her strength but he quickly maneuvered and with his skill in karate caught her gracefully. She laughed again allowing him to grab her fully. They played for a while, fighting playfully and laughter filling their mouth and hearts.

Munah later allowed her to get prepared and in no time, they left in the Prado V8 to the beach. He parked the car at the park that was reserved and they went in after getting a beach hut. She changed and together they went to the water. The beach was quite a few people making Munah wonder while the scantiness was what Adah seem to love because it helped her to explore since it was her first time. They played swam and took a very long stroll by the shore with Munah holding her close by her waist and she having no shame freely clasped herself fully to him as they walked and discussed everything under the open sun. It was later she realized that the scantiness is of great advantage to her owing to who she is and the family she represents. She felt again to offer herself to him but wondered what his reaction will turn out to be. She is beautiful beyond words could explain, she knows she can make men go berserk with her beauty and endowments, and she knows that she is more than enough for him but why the rejection? This is the only thing that she cannot fully fathom. She has promised herself to keep trying for she cannot wait for the day that she will be taken and made a woman, the day that she will be loved the way she wants to and be swept into ecstasy. She tightened her grip on him and prayed for their love for she has now made up her mind that even in death she will love no other but him.
