As Melvina came close to Tisane, he could smell her delicious perfume as it invaded his nose.
Getting lost in her captivating aroma, she threw her arms around him and drew her face closer to his own.
Tisane could almost feel the wetness of her lips as he sent out his tongue to have an early taste only to have a pair of fingers stopping his lips.
As Tisane came to from his ecstatic fantasy, he noticed Melvina's seductive eyes staring into his own.
"Tisane, can I ask you a question?" She asked strangely.
"Uh...." Tisane was still trying to get his thoughts straight as he slowly nodded.
"Do I look cheap to you?" Came the next question.
"Huh?" Tisane cocked his head confusingly.
"I said do I look cheap to you?" This time she asked with seriousness in her eyes.
"N-no you don't" Tisane shook his head awkwardly.
"You really think so?" She pressed further.
"Yes I do" This time, Tisane affirmed vigorously.
For a moment they were both silent as they quietly stared in each other's eyes.
Tisane was beginning to feel a little uneasy.
"You are lying" came the next statement.
"What?" Tisane felt shocked.
"I said you're a liar Tisane" Melvina stepped away from him as an unusual annoyance appeared on her face.
"N-no am not, wh-why would you say that!" Tisane stammered as he felt his heart beat increase.
"Apparently you are trying to tell everyone how cheap I am by spreading the news of our sexual voyage last night. Or I am I wrong?" Melvina's cold voice seemed like needles that pierced Tisane's heart.
At first Tisane was beginning to be drowned in a sea of confusion. Until he heard the latter part of Melvina's statement.
Tisane's eyes widened in understanding as he hastily gesticulated.
"Wait, Melvina I can explain!" he felt his throat go dry.
"Explain?" Melvina nocked her eyebrow as her eyes flashed with anger.
"What are you ready to explain Tisane?"
"Melvina, I didn't slander you in front of anyone" he stated immediately.
"Oh yeah?" The look in Melvina's eyes showed that she didn't believe him one bit.
"Then how come everyone came up with the notion that we had s*x when we didn't?!"
"Th-that was not me, it was just a prank!"
Tisane felt like he was dumped in a pot of boiling water.
"Melvina you have to believe me, it was all Bayo's idea"
"So my s*x life is a prank to you, is that what you're saying?" Melvina interrogated mercilessly.
"N-no, that's not what I meant" Tisane felt like crying.
"*Sigh* Tisane I am dissapointed in you" Melvina stated and shook her head with a sad look on her face.
"One thing I liked about you was the difference I saw between you and other guys"
Tisane shivered at those words.
"But you truly are no different from the others. Vile perverts that's what you all are"
"Melvina I--" Tisane could feel everything that had ever made him joyful crumbling.
"Save it. I would like to be left alone" Melvina raised her right hand in a stopping gesture.
Tisane felt his body go numb and paralyzed.
"Just go Tisane!" Melvina exclaimed.
Tisane didn't know how, but in a few minutes, he was outside of Melvina's room door.
'Just what have I done?' Tisane thought to himself as his entire mental faculty became disorganised.

"Honey, I need to talk to you" Elizabeth seemed to have come to a conclusion as she approached James who was having his afternoon work out at the front yard.
"Can't it wait?" James was immersed in his press ups that he was not willing to stop until his muscles were satisfied.
"No it can't" Elizabeth replied adamantly.
James knew the kind of wife he had and when the tone of her voice was sounding as it was now, it meant she had made up her mind and not even he could change it.
Stopping midway on his press up, he stood up to look at his wife.
Muscles bulging and the sweaty moisture only serve to make him look as intimidating to any man and breathtaking to any woman.
Elizabeth couldn't help but blush herself when she took in the view of her husband's athletic and manly body.
"Maybe you should freshen up first" she quickly added in order to hide her awkwardness.
"Of course" James said as a matter of fact.
Then he smiled mischievously.
"But I need my partner to help me freshen up nicely"
"Huh?" She raised her eyebrows.
Standing in front of his wife, James put his arms around her waist.
"Would my mistress do me the honors?"
Elizabeth understood that her husband could be quite eccentric at times.
Shaking her head and smiling she smelled his manly aroma and affirmed.
"It would be my pleasure"
--------------------------------
"Ah~~~ah...."
~Tatatatatata~
~umph....umph~
The bed vibrated due to their constant push and pull.
Like the mystical yin and yang, their rhythm went back and forth.
Elizabeth was already in her mid-50s, while James already in his late-50s.
But that never stopped the flower of love making from blossoming in their marriage.
She felt his incredible manly strength as he went into her, while her strong legs held him at his waist tightly.
Some minutes later...
As they lay on the bed in each other's embrace, Elizabeth gently rubbed his muscular chest.
She glanced at his calm face, while reminiscing about few minutes ago.
"I saw that" James stated.
"Saw what?" Elizabeth asked warmly.
"Your eyes just now" James said staring at her and pinching her nose as she giggled.
"Right, you wanted to discuss something with me" James said sitting up straight.
"Oh yes" Elizabeth's countenance seemed to have changed.
Also sitting up straight, she first of all collected her thoughts before speaking.
"It's about our son" she stated slowly.
"What about him?" James said after a few seconds.
"Honey please, it's been a year already" she stared at James with pleading eyes.
"Just a year?" James snorted.
"No big deal there"
"How can you say that?" She inquired grudgingly.
"You haven't seen your son for a whole year and you don't see it as a big deal?"
"Is it?" James stared at her and replied stubbornly.
"I never chased him away, he left on his own"
"Yes but what was the reason for his departure?" She stared at him accusingly.
"What do you mean by that?" James narrowed his eyes as he caught the meaning behind her words.
"Well I would be blunt with you, our son left because you as the father never seemed to understand him and get along with him"
"Get along with him you say?" James raised his eyebrows in anger.
"We both know our son was a nuisance whom never seemed to get his priorities right"
"How can you say that?!" Elizabeth raised her voice in shock.
"Because it's the truth woman!" James folded his arms across his chest and scowled at her.
Elizabeth stared at her husband's eyes and knew that changing his mind wouldn't be easy.
"All you wanted was for him to live up to your standards, but did you stop to think about how he felt and what his own standards were?"
"His standards?" James scoffed.
"Well if he had any, they were not worth mentioning if you ask me"
"So what are you saying?" Elizabeth stared at him, the stubbornness evident in her expression.
"You want us to leave him on his own out there?"
"I want him to take responsibility for his actions!"
"On what grounds?!"
"On the grounds that he is my son and I would never accept him as a weakling and delinquent!"
"*Sigh* I don't care what you think, because I'm bringing our son back home"
Elizabeth sighed heavily and shook her head sadly as she replied.
"Elizabeth...." James' expression vibrated with an intense aura.
Elizabeth knew that James would never call her by her first name especially in a private conversation except he was seething with rage.
Her body shook in fear as she slowly turned to look at him.
His next words put a forceful end to the argument.
"I don't want to repeat myself again" he stated slowly.
"Tisane does not step into this house unless I deem it fit and judge him worthy of being a part of this family again"
His voice was hard and his expression cold as he stared at her squarely.
*************************
"Here comes the birthday Lover boy!" Tunde declared Tisane's presence as soon as he sighted him.
"Yo Tisane!" Ibrahim called out enthusiastically.
"How was the trip down the Appian way, did you bring home any souvenirs?!"
Everyone chorused with laughter at Ibrahim's joke.
Bayo was still laughing as he approached Tisane who was walking forward steadily.
"Hey Tisane welcome back, we were ju--"
Bayo noticed the strange look on Tisane's face as they got closer.
"Um.....Tisane you okay bud? You lo--"
He couldn't react on time as Tisane's tightly closed fist swung at his face.
~Bam!~
Bayo lost his balance due to the surprise punch as he fell backwards and slammed the glass table at the center of the parlor shattering it.
