Anna lowered her gaze with a blush!
Liam pulled her inside and captured her lips, she was like his favourite morning meal he wouldn't want to miss everyday. Their fresh breathes and hygiene was the main turn on for both of them.
"Liam! Breakfast is getting cold" Anna made an excuse before things would hit up between them and end up snacking themselves instead of the actual snacks.
She sat on the floor serving breakfast while Liam sat up on the sofa set just looking at a disciplined traditional girl before him. The way she was folding her limbs on the floor amused him.
"Do you know that you didn't take your evening medicine yesterday?" He asked.
Anna looked up at him with an innocent expression, "Well, I was pretty busy"
Liam chuckled at her choice of words, "Yeah! I know better."
Anna just giggled, she pulled out a small stool that was between the sofa and the cupboard. She put it between his legs then put a tray full of different kinds of eats on top of it. She put a mug full of milk tea on a saucer as well and then sat properly on the ground leaning on the bed, facing him.
"Thank you, babe!"
"Wait, wait, wait." Anna said when she saw Liam readying himself to eat. She joined her palms and Laim immediately knew what she meant.
"Man!" He said with an embarrassed chuckle, he also humbled himself and she prayed for their meal. Just like his mama always did to them.
Anna watched the person she had prayed for all along eat the food she had cooked with her own hands with a satisfied heart. What else would she pray for if not longlife and an endless love between them, the he was chewing....!
"I like your fragrance" He said.
"Thank you" She said in a polite cool voice she could ever afford. That was the complement she was looking forward to hearing all along. She switched on the TV for them to watch news or shows of her choice while eating peacefully.
After winding up, she collected all the used utensils, put them in the kitchen outside then grabbed her phone and sat between Liam's legs, still sitting on the ground. She leaned her head on the edge of the soft sofa looking up at his face.
"How did you register this simcard without me and my card?" Anna asked looking into his black eyes.
"I used mine" Liam replied moving his manly large hand from her chin, down her nonexistent Adam's apple.
"Then why did you ask me to park my ID when you had finished everything."
"I wanted you to open a bank account for the safety of your money but you ruined my program when you started asking annoying questions" He said.
Anna gazed at him in bewilderment, everything he was doing and planning for her were so vital and major which she hadn't thought for herself. She wasn't used to this kind of parental care because even her dad never gave her any to begin with, she turned around on her knees to stare at him clearly.
"Why would you bother yourself for that?" She asked.
"Why wouldn't I bother myself for my woman?" Liam asked.
Anna felt instant butterflies run berserk in her belly at the his simple but vital claim on her, her body responded to his eye contact and sweet words with goosebumps.
"Thank you for last night" Liam said, "As a man, it was the best night of my life"
Her smile vanished in an instance, she felt like shrinking in embarrassment for everything she had mindlessly done but again was turned, not his dark eyes captivating hers in a seductive way.
"Thank you for loving a coward like me who had fallen for you for a very long time but scared of approaching you. Am sorry for ditching you on our first night, it was also my first time, I didn't know what to do"
"Y-you were...you were v-v-virgin, as well?" Anna asked in disbelief, her lips trembling.
Liam wiped her tear that was about to roll down with his thumb and then put it in his mouth, "Yes, not only that! You're my first love as well"
Anna blinked back her eyes but was too late, she was already a mess, they say that first love cuts the deepest and no one could ever forget that person. She was so glad that she's his first love, that meant that she wouldn't have to fight or worry about his ex or past heartbreaks, she owned all his heart alone.
"I promise my body, soul, spirit and heart to be yours and only yours permanently, will you do the same?" Liam asked,
Anna straightened her back; still kneeling and raised her right hand without tearing her gaze away from his eyes, "With the walls of this house, the land we're on, heaven and earth as my witnesses, I swear before you, the almighty God, Jesus christ, holy spirit and all creature in heaven and earth to love you with everything that is in me for the rest of my life, not even death shall part us, I will still love you even in my next life. You are my answered prayer, why wouldn't I do the same? Where you lead me I will follow!"
Liam also fought back his tears, this vow was even better than those scripted wedding vows he has ever heard of. He crashed his lips on hers hungrily and greedily, he ate them like a hungry lion devouring it's long hunted prey. He carried her up after some time of making out and put her on bed where they made a deep affectionate passionate love without making any sound.
They laid in bed after their endless love making, silently but comfortably looking eachother eyes, as if only their gazes would utter out their true feelings to one another that no words could explain, they remained in that heart to heart conversation for over an hour. Anna wanted to ask him his age but changed her mind, she didn't want to ruin this beautiful moment they were relishing. There wasn't any sexual tension or anything else, not even body contact. Only eye contact!.
"I need to prepare lunch" Anna broke the silence.
"Hhmm! What do I do?" Liam asked.
"We go buy stuffs together?" She asked but it was more like a statement.
"Let's go then"
She put on a round hat to shield her from scorching sunshine outside, even Liam put on his cape and got outside.
"Where are your buddies?" Liam asked locking the door.
"At church, I suppose." Anna answered, she was looking at how women where busy preparing lunch for their husbands who supposedly had gone to church with their children with a glad heart, at least, she also didn't have to admire or envy them anymore, she had also gotten a man to whole heartedly take care of. Her heart was already free from their hurtful accusations, she had forgiven them.
"I can tell by the silence" Liam held her hand and walked a few steps before Anna halted, she lightly pulled his hand, going towards Fiona's door. She knocked once and Fiona came out.
"Papi, I want you to meet my friend Fiona" She said with a beautiful smile, "Fiona, meet my boyfriend, Liam"
" Nice to meet you, miss Fiona" Liam stretched his arm for a handshake but the girl knelt instead. Because Liam knew the meaning of kneeling already, he let the girl be; he was fascinated.
Anna laughed at her funny friend, "She's actually misses"
"Oh! My bad, sorry"
"It's okay" Fiona said blushing, even the smallest English she had in her head had vanished already. This was the her first time meeting an elite; a white one at that. Besides, Anna, the person she loved so much to introduce her boyfriend to her was something to celebrate for, she was super excited.
After Anna and her boyfriend left, the neighbors surrounded the smiling Fiona.
"Did you apologize for us?" Mama Josh asked.
"She's okay, she isn't mad at you guys" Fiona said with confidence,
"How do you know?"
"She could've asked me about anything concerning you but she has never, ever since I started talking to her. I told you that she's a good person, didn't I?." Fiona said.
They sighed in relief.
"Wow, her boyfriend is so handsome, they fit for eachother pretty good" Another woman said,
"He's even wealthy, my husband said that his car is worth more than 300m shillings, she just hit the jackpot"
Fiona rolled her eyes, "As if you aren't the ones criticising her always, God will punish you if you keep on mindlessly judging His innocent people. Soon, you will hear that she's in America, God saw the tears you caused her and manifested"
The ladies gasped, "America?"
Fiona raised a brow at them and waved a hand for them to leave for her to continue her work inside, she now felt like she didn't fit in them, her rightful fitting friend was Anna.

"... she's a sweetheart. " Anna said, "She's only twenty one but she has faced alot of problems befitting a thirty and above years old person."
"What happened to her?" Liam asked glancing at her every now and then, as they walked.
"She got pregnant at sixteen by a seventeen years old boy who; as well as his parents denied the baby as soon as they heard about it. She dropped out of school like that and nursed the baby with shame, humiliation all around her. After two years of toiling for her baby, her dad married her off to an old man who has three official wives, she's the fourth wife."
Liam frowned, "Do things like that exist, perhaps he's muslim, isn't?"
"Judging by her dressing code, he could be. The girl is lifeless, the worst part is that he forbade her from working. She has no future yet she has to take of her baby girl, she pays her baby's school fares on the little money the husband gives her, it's saddening. "
"We have no way that we could help her?" Liam asked concerned,
"I will ask for her account number so that I will keep stealthily sending her money, besides that, there's no other way" She said swinging their entertained hads, looking ahead.
Liam silently watched her thoughtful narrowed eyes, she wasn't only physically beautiful, even the inside was pure. They walked slowly conversing about other various things as they giggled and chuckled till they finished shopping and they came back.
