Chapter 8 - A Confession On The Phone

Time spent with Diana made hours seem like seconds as night approaches.

We had lunch in bed, chatting and watching her favorite programs on tele.

We avoided eye contact most of the time. This only fuel the sensual energy that was building up in the room, taking charge of the whole space.

"This really taste great Kuga. I guess you cook a lot," Diana said diluting the tension somewhat.

"Is that a statement or a question, Diana?". "Both", she answered.

"I have clean your jeans and its dried". "Thinking of losing me right, Kuga".

"You can stay as long as you want Diana, I just don't want it to be very late before you leave this place. Plus, you need enough rest after your encounter with the vile thing. But don't worry, scorpion venom it more like a CSM injection, it probably will do you some good."

"I never believe women have the remedy within their loins. How did you know?"

"Heard my gramma prescribed it to a woman once upon a time".

"She still around?"

"You mean; is she still alive? No, she died, before I had my first degree. she was the only thing I had close to family."

"Sorry I resurrect painful memories, kuga".

"Don't worry Diana. I have so many memories of her and none is painful, she had surely lived life to the fullest… she died at the age of 111".

Diana whistle at this revelation "Wow, what a legend."

"You could say that."

"You seem to have been very close to her?"

"Yeah, very, very close… a real tuff old mystic of a woman, a freak of nature, so loving and caring under the illusion of madness".

We both laughed, and silence ensued.

"What about your parents, Kuga?" Diana watched me stiffen at the mention of my parents.

"I never get to live with them for long, Diana…. They died when I turned ten" my chest felt heavy as I said this, because it brought back a memory I didn't want to remember, at least not in front of this woman.

"I am so sorry, Kuga" Diana said softly reaching out to caress my my bearded cheek.

"Never mind" I shrugged nonchalantly, giving a false smile that never reached the eye…

"I live, I survive, that's just the way of life, right? it bends us to it's will till we arrive at that final abode."

"To eternity we originate, and to infinity is the return," I added.

"That sound scripture, like alpha and omega," she said.

"Yeah, exactly. What about you Diana, do you have any family around?"

"Not really, but I was fortunate to have a guardian angel of sort. He gave me all the love a little girl ever needed," she said happily.

"You are making me feel jealous Diana. But hey, I am happy for you. I believe we are both fortunate then,".

We both sat quietly for a while before I started for the kitchen with the tray of empty plates.

"let me go get this plates clean up… why not watch some tele while I clean up. I will be joining you soon… should I get you something?"

"No Kuga, I am good thank you…"

"I set up the shower for you when you were taking a nap, a cold shower will probably do you some good after your unexpected ordeal".

She smiled on sensing the sarcasm and replied;

"Oh, I didn't know you could be such a bully, Kuga?"

"No Diana, I was only making a suggestion?". "oh I see," she replied with a grin.

Fierce imaginations of canal pleasure hijacked my mind and jammed up my biological and inner alchemy, as the evening finally turned to night, and Diana decided to sleep over.

Now tossing in bed upstairs, disturbed by cravings ignited by the feel of her warm soft skin on mine beneath the bed covers just a while ago to help put her to sleep, I didn't know where to lay my hammering headache or thrashing heart.

My loins melted and my plug elongated and stood stout as erectile fluids trickles from the opening, staining my pajamas.

But I know satisfying this need with her will only complicate things between us afterwards.

She is scared and vulnerable, emotionally unstable, no wonder she is easily turned on.

At exactly nine thirty, Ruby called and I thought that will be a distraction.

"Hello Ruby".

"Hello, how was your day, Kuga?".

Staring down at the bulging breathing organism between my legs, I answered, "Fabulous Ruby. What about you?".

"It was quite boring without you around". My erection seems to enlarge on hearing this statement. Rigidly, it stood stout and hard like a bone, and I fear it may explode.

"Hey Ruby, …umm… sorry I am in the middle of something and now is not a good time" I said dryly.

"What is keeping you busy around this time of the night?"

"Trust me Ruby, you don't want to know,".

"Try me, Kuga."

"I have an erection Ruby, a stubborn kind that wouldn't let me sleep, it's like my member have a brain of its own".

The giggles that followed from Ruby's end of the line was almost deafening.

"look, I am not kidding, Ruby." Another roar of laughter ensued…

"Oh Kuga, where are you from? Where ever it is, I don't think is on this earth…. Hahaha."

We were both quite for a while, and she said; "I can't believe you just told me that."

"Yes, I did Ruby."

"You are such a bad boy Kuga, nutty, nasty, unconventional… a rear breed in our civilize world" she chuckled.

"Maybe, I am a batty boy because that's exactly what you want me to be Ruby… and I have nothing to lose by confronting my truth right in the face, and just like you, I feel like I can tell you anything, Ruby."

A long silence followed…

"Yesterday, when you hugged me at the clinic, you whispered into my ears, what was it you said?" she croons.

"What did you hear, lady? For I can't remember much of what happened".

"Did you really meant it? you called me baby". "Yeah I remember I did, I guess I saw you as my little baby girl."

"Don't even try your cunning games on me Kuga, tell me the truth, did you mean it?". "What if I meant it, then what, Ruby?"

"Will you just answer the question."

"I don't know Ruby; it simply came out of nowhere."

Another long oppressive silence followed.

"What is going on, Kuga?"

"What do you mean, Ruby?"

"I mean about us?"

"Us? What do you mean us? I think we should tread cautiously on this line of enquiry."

"No, I think there is no better time than now, Kuga."

"What do you want from me Ruby?"

"Honesty, the truth, Kuga."

"Well, there is nothing like 'us' Ruby. You are young and gorgeous. A princess of sorts.... and a nice prince ready to put a ring on you… Rhymz is that guy not me."

"Oh how I wish I could believe all that crab," she said and rhetorts;

"Why do I have the feeling that you are scared, Kuga. With all that bad boy aura around you, you're scared of what a skinny little girl could do to you…" she laughed and my groin throbbed painfully…

"Oh, I will choose a bullet any day than have you torture me with your alluring looks, sensual body, and that siren you have for a voice, Ruby."

"Hahaha…" she giggled "is that a confession?". "Oh yah, a full blown confession," I replied.

"Oh Kuga, you are turning me into a bad girl." "Exactly my point Ruby, guys like me and girls like you move in a parallel line".

"Yet guys like you, makes girls like me feel like we are missing out a lot. I had one of the amazing experiences riding behind you on that monster of a bike. I begin to wonder how much I am missing out just by trying to stay safe and conventional…"

"You probably have a bad girl buried inside you some where after all."

"And that bad girl threatens to emerge anytime you are at close proximity, Kuga".

"Stop Ruby"

"Stop what Kuga"

"The way you are talking to me now is driving me nuts."

"Hahaha… I guess I am turning the tables on you now, hahaha".

I heard footsteps on the stairs, coming up. It wasn't long before the door to my bed room opened and Diana stood right in the door way in only a red pajama top I borrowed her.

"Sorry to bother you Kuga, but I am finding it hard sleeping alone, hope you don't mind if I join you here?"

"No problem Diana, there is enough room for two…".

"Hello Ruby, sorry I got to go… have a goodnight" I spoke into the phone as Diana locked gazes with me.

No response came from the other end; the line went dead.
