Adah was the first to wake up and though she is not much of a dreamer, she recalled the sweet dream she had. She had been with the love of her life when suddenly they were approached by some rough-looking men who came up to them. She was scared at first but funny enough, the men had not come to look for any trouble but to shake his hand and hers and directed them to meet her father. Her father had prayed for her which led to untold joy and celebration. To her, it was nothing and meaningless, she thought about it all and reasoned that the dream came as a result of her thoughts. She often wondered why many folks attach relevance to dreams especially Lily who claims that dreams can be spiritual. She may be right but Adah knows that attaching relevance to any of her dreams is like chasing the cloud. She looked at Munah who was still sleeping and wondered how well their relationship has flourished. He is the type of man that she has prayed and desired for, she knows that it will be difficult detaching herself from him because she has built her all around him. It may look stupid but she does not care. He is the center point of her life and existence and she does not even have it in her calendar that they will split. In her mind and even subconsciousness, it will ever be Munah. This is the reason why she makes it her responsibility to always be by his side at all times for she cannot stand a moment without him.
Adah saw her mother grow in this form and manner with her daddy and today they are inseparable. Lily has notified her that she should learn not to choke him with her love, jealousy, and possessiveness. Adah seems to have waved it off because she sees nothing wrong with her actions, it is a way of protecting her interest and territory. She knows that she has to give him all the support in this life because she must make him happy. She smiled as he opened his eyes and she looked into them, touching his face with her hands before kissing his lips. Her phone rang and disturbed her ritual. She stood up and went for it. Her mother was the one on the line. She wondered because Lady Denson hardly calls her except there is an urgent need to do so. They chatted like siblings before the Mother informed her that she should get ready to come over for an important meeting with her father that bothers on the expansion of the Denson Empire. She is due to come in the next three days. Adah had refused, insisting that she will call her mother back before hanging up the phone in anger. Her mind tells her that it is a ploy from her mother. Lady Denson is a goal-getter, one that can through any means necessary get her mission achieved. This is one thing that Adah knew about her mother, she is also crafty and can by hook or by crook have her way. Traveling to meet them is not a priority, whatever decision that her father wants to take is probably in her best interest so her presence may not be needed. Moreover, her father is the face of the empire and even while she is saddled with the responsibilities of the daily running, major decisions on crucial matters will be his to make and take. She switched off her phone as she dropped it on the nearby table which Munah noticed with raised eyebrows.
"Nothing really, my mother said I should meet them overseas in the next three days..." Adah explained looking at him intently.
"No explanations from her?" Munah asked concerned as he observed that she is not happy about the whole situation.
"She did not give any. What she simply did was to order me about," Adah said exposing how irritated she is. Munah quickly thought for a while and in a split second realized that something may be going on and that Adah's attention is needed.
"You have to go and see them... this is family and we have to show all our regard to them," Munah said looking at Adah intently. Adah could not believe her ears at what she heard from him.
"No, I cannot my love. I beg you in the name of our love. I cannot for it is a trap except you will go with me." Adah said with eyes on him. Her last statement seems to catch him off balance as he stared into her eyes speechless.
"I will get the clarification and I will surely travel with you," Adah repeated as a new reassurance rested on her soul and body. He spread out his arms for her and she rushed toward him for an embrace that they thought will give them succor.
As they held each other they fell onto the bed while her long hair scattered all over their faces. He adjusted the long strands as he kissed her lightly on her lips. Her outburst was what he least expected. Traveling with her may expose their relationship owing to their inability to detach from each other. Within him, he feared for the first time but summed up the courage because no matter what, their affair will one day be exposed to the entire world. For Adah, it is not a big deal but he is working on something and want to be prepared before it is all let out in the open.
He reasoned that Adah wants to use him as a shield against her mother, but what call from Lady Denson is genuine? Denson Empire is a whole different kettle of fish because of how vast the organization is. Therefore, anything can crop up and be it to the detriment of the system, it must be nipped in the bud and this may be what is now up in the air and as a family, they now need each other. He asked Adah to give him her phone which she did without asking questions and he switched it on fully knowing that Lady Denson will call back. She did and with encouragement from him, she answered the call. Adah noticed that her mother did not refer to the first call and the abruptness in which the call ended. Her voice was calm as she begged her daughter to reconsider her decision after all the meeting will be a six-hour meeting after which she can leave that same day if she chooses. Adah informed her mother that she will be coming with her request which Lady Denson accepted readily and mother and daughter discussed other things before they hung up.
Adah smiled at him as the call ended and allowed him to hold her and kiss the back of her neck. She knows that they have the whole week to explore themselves together and thank the good Lord they have finished their site inspections. All through that day, they stayed indoors while the next day, they visited some places of interest and the zoo. They indeed tried as much as they can to get the best out of the break that they gave to themselves. Munah ensured that he gave her all the love and attention that she deserved but Adah is the type that can never get enough of him for she sees herself demanding more from him. He made her feel more accomplished as he explored all about her and she did the same to him. They came to discover more about themselves than they ever know. She cried so much and shed a lot of tears as they shared their love. Sometimes screaming and whimpering as she reached countless heights of blissfulness that she can never describe. She also made him shake and groan for the first time bringing out the power and elasticity that he needs to give her his all. The week was fulfilled with no remorses as she got it all from him and within her vowed her eternal love will be his for the taking.
That afternoon as they prepared to leave the hotel, Adah felt as if a part of her is being left behind. She now knows what it meant to love and be loved, she now feels the thrills and frills of being taken as a woman. She clung to him while he assured her of his eternal love and each of his words of assurance made her cry softly as she wet his body with her tears. Adah knows that with him there is no more going back for she has come to the end of the road. This is now the best moment of her life and she is grateful that it is with him. Munah himself has come to fathom that he cannot do without her. She is now fully a part of him and he will not want to leave her or exchange her with the best treasures of this life. As they finally departed and were airborne, they clung to each other like fleas each savoring the new experience that have suddenly revealed itself to them.
