"Beautiful girls don't get shy, why do you disappoint your fellas?" Liam teased,
' Are you flirting or flattering me, mister?' Anna asked in her head. ' Am not shy, am just...scared? But scared of what, uh! Maybe I just fear him...'
Anna's eyes widened when she saw Liam trap her in his legs. She was sitting on the bed with her legs on the floor while Liam was still sitting in same position as earlier.
" What did I say about thinking about something else when am with you?" Liam asked.
Goosebumps covered her whole body at their closeness. " I-l-uh...just, uh!" She stuttered.
" Look at me in the eyes" Liam commanded,
Anna gulped, the way he was staring on her lips made her intense butterflies in her belly go wild. His breath smelt like a scented candle with the most breathtaking scent. What broke her down more was his dark eyes closely staring into hers.
Anna averted her eyes and nodded before saying, " Am good"
" Good to go for another round tonight?" Liam said which shocked Anna to her bones. Her mouth formed an O shape and her eyes widened. The fierce blush on her face couldn't discribe the way she was embarrassed. The way he was bluntly saying it as if it wasn't embarrassing him as well flabbergasted her.
Liam chuckled at her priceless expression. He was trying to get rid of the awkwardness between them and make her feel free with him.
"I wouldn't mind pinning you down as yo...hmmm!" Before Liam could finish his sentence, Anna had put her hand on his mouth.
" Arrhhm" The doctor cleared his throat.
Anna felt embarrassed to be found like this by an elder person. This is after all Africa where intimate actions are kept behind the closed doors, not otherwise.
The doctor handed Anna a pill and a glass of water. "It's an anti pregnancy pill."
It was now that Anna remembered about their unprotected sex. She swallowed it under the two men's scrutinizing gaze and handed the glass back.
" That pill is only for emergencies and only taken once a month. So, as it's not reliable, you may need to try other ways like condoms, injections and many other" The doctor said.
" Oh yes, doc. We will prefer condoms" Liam said as he looked at the bewildered Anna, " Bring us as many as you can, we wouldn't want to keep bothering you"
Anna stood up and got out of the room hurriedly as she couldn't stand the two perverts. When she got outside in the gardens, she removed her shoes and started walking in the lawn barefooted.
Anna stretched her body in relaxation as she soaked in the evening sun. It's not all the time she gets the chance to feel it. Plus, she had almost spent twenty four hours indoor, so the fresh air and the heat from the sun charged her energy back. She closed her eyes and spread her arms to enjoy the scenery.
" Enjoying the view?" Liam asked,
Anna turned around to see the owner of the voice and just nodded in response with a small smile.
" Do you feel like going home yet?" Liam asked in his deep voice and Anna nodded again and Liam raised a brow at her muteness.
"Did you lose your voice or the English in you?" He said, "I wouldn't mind you replying in your local dialect, though"
Anna snickered, " Would you understand it if I do?" She said looking into his beautiful eyes.
Liam was thrilled to see her laugh, her smiley happy face was so addictive to him, " I would read your lips to know every word's meaning."
Anna's smile vanished when he mentioned the word 'lips'. It was as if he had turned her 'turn on' switch on. The temperature in the atmosphere around her started rising higher as she stared at his lips in reverie.
" Dirty minded" Liam said which brought Anna back to her senses.
Anna blushed as she was caught red handed. " Am not"
" Oh! But I wouldn't mind that either." He shrugged, " Should we head back home now"
Anna nodded again and Liam gave her the look, "Yes, sir" She said with a chuckle, before he could do or say anything else that would embarrass her more.
The couple left the gardens to the parking lot. Anna looked at his range rover sport in awe, till now, she hadn't gotten the chance to look at it clearly. It's shiny exterior only thrilled her.
" Wow!" Anna exclaimed, even though she didn't know it's price, she just knew that its undeniably expensive.
" You wanna get in or I carry you in again?" Liam asked,
Anna got in the car and Liam started the engine. He drove a few streets and parked at a fancy restaurant. As a gentleman, he got out first and helped her come out as well. He hadn't also gotten his lunch so it was perfect for them to dine together.
Apart from café Javas, Anna had never gotten a chance to dine in such an expensive restaurant. Liam held her hand and led her into a booth where they sat facing eachother. A waitress came to them and took their orders.
Anna sat silently scrutinizing the place with a lifted spirit. She had always served others at the café but now she was also being attended, it pleased her big time.
The waitress brought their food and the couple ate unhurriedly. Liam kept bringing simple conversations as he didn't want to bore her or make her feel lonely and uncomfortable. After dining and parking more food, they got in the car and drove straight home.
"Aunty! Aunty! Aunty!" All her neighbours' kids went running to Anna as they all hugged her legs.
Anna giggled at their gesture, " Hey! How are y'all?"
However annoying and noisy they could be, she still liked them. She pinched their cheeks one by one as she pat their heads.
" Okay guys, go and do your homeworks. I will see you tomorrow" Anna said, she looked on the door to see Liam standing while leaning on the doorjamb staring at her with a smirk.
The kids said their good byes and entered into their houses. With much blushing and difficulty, Anna walked towards Liam who hadn't averted his gaze on her yet. He moved up to him with a lowered head as she couldn't meet his gaze. Liam gave her a way to enter as he had unlocked the door whilst she was still interacting with her buddies.
Liam pulled her closer by the arm, "How are you feeling now?"
" Am alright" Anna replied staring back into his steely dark hypotonizing eyes.
"No dizziness, nausea or headache?" Liam asked his thumb slightly rubbing her arm skin.
" No! Am just a little weak compared to my usual self but nothing much." Anna said without breaking eye contact with him. "Thank you for coming back to help me"
Instead of replying, Liam pulled her into a hug. He didn't want to see her cry again as tears was on the verge. His right arm circled around her neck as the left arm snaked around her upper waist or lower back.
Anna buried her face in the crook of his neck as her temple laid on his shoulder and her arms wrapped around his back tightly. The smell of his skin smelt like a pure expensive fragrance from the ancient times. His calm heart beats sounding like a mixture of some slow soothing musical instruments. The way he held her captive like she would run away anytime soon made her feel safe and protected. It had only been yesternight she had been robbed and gotten rescued by this man in her arms and then today; ah!. Apart from the almighty God in heaven, nothing or nobody could ever be an invisible superhero besides Liam. He showed in her most vulnerable moments yet her relatives and friends are nowhere to be seen.
There was no sexual tension between them at the moment. It was only love, passion and affection that they have for each that engrossed both of them. They stood like that for almost an hour without any sound movement, just lost in themselves.
After what felt like forever, the couple disengaged from the hug. Anna prepared a bath for Liam as he would stay for a night. She gave him a new toothbrush and clean white towel. Liam shamelessly started undressing infront of her teasingly, Anna turned around to avoid seeing his nakedness in sheer embarrassment.
" Really? Weren't you asking for it just yesterday? Now you don't wanna see it? What a shame!." Liam teased and saw how Anna silently melt.
Anna felt like sealing his mouth forever, ' how one be nice and sweet at one moment and then annoying the next one.' she thought.
When Liam entered the bathroom, Anna quickly remade the bed with fresh scented white bedsheets and duvet. She after started rearranged the room in haste to make enticing and appealing. Only thinking about what was gonna happen made her insides scream in utter joy. Even though she hadn't totally healed downstairs, she had already started wetting in anticipation.
She was still unpacking everything Liam had brought when she saw a box full of condoms. Anna closed the box and threw it under the bed in embarrassment.
' Oh my loving God! Why would you ever create such perverts. Wasn't he just kidding?' she complained.
When Liam came back, Anna pretended as if she had seen nothing and also prepared for her shower.
"I will come help you shower as the cannula may....."
" No!" Anna denied amidst his sentence. She was about to close the bathroom door when he forceful got in.
Liam pinned both her hands above her head with his left hand and then his right hand slid down her skirt. With his eyes unblinkingly staring into hers, his fingers got further into her panty. Liam tapped on her still bushy womanhood and hummed in satisfaction.
" Don't you dare shave it" He commanded in his deep voice and then let go of her hands and exit the washroom after winking at her.
' Ah!' Anna internally screamed in frustration. ' Fuck you son of a bitch'. She cussed, he had turned her on and then left just like that. Even though she had denied his help as she could predict where they would end, that doesn't mean that she didn't want to.
After showering, Anna put her pajamas on and got back in the room. She found Liam wearing a pair of cream pajamas, he was lying on his stomach on the bed pressing something on his laptop.
" What is your favourite movie genre?" Liam asked without glancing at her.
"Action packed"
