She smiled and said. "Yes Victor, I accept. I'll be your girlfriend"
He leaned closer excitedly and kissed her lips passionately. She held his face with both of her hands and returned the kiss gently sucking his upper and lower lips simultaneously. She pushed her tongue into his mouth and their lips locked. Victor couldn't believe that his long time dream had finally come true.
It was a beautiful day for both of them, each went home envisioning how beautiful their relationship would be. Vanessa called Nichole and told her everything.
"Finally girl, I told you that you needed a man in your life but you won't listen. All that pressure is going to go away having a loving person beside you." She said
"Yeah right, I feel different today. I feel happy and attached to something. I hope I made the right decision" Vanessa said.
"Of Course you did, I mean we all know that he's a good person. So tell me, have you both made out yet? How was it tell me!"
"Will you stop? What happened to taking things slow? Come on, we just started dating Nichole."
"So what? It's never too early, I mean it strengthens the bond girl, go for it. You both need to have sex okay"
"I can't believe you right now, go away" Vanessa laughed and cut the call.
*******************
Edwardo was clearly not himself, days after his resumption he started drinking at work. Something he would never do, he began to pass the night at the office atimes. He would hardly sign any papers or check any files on his desk. He practically passed out atimes. Vanessa was concerned about him, she didn't know why she had such a soft spot for him despite how mean he was towards her.
She went to his office to drop some files and found him on the floor completely drunk.
"Oh my God sir, what are you doing? Come on this isn't good for you okay? It's not good for your health and what if the media finds out? It's very bad for the company name" she said, squatting close to him on the floor and struggling to raise him while he kept pushing her.
"Leave me alone, go away.....I want Chloe, I don't want you" he said drunkenly.
"I know, and I'm sorry about what happened okay, but you have to move on Edwardo....sir. you have to pick up the pieces and rise again. These won't help you" she said pointing at the bottles he had already exhausted.
She dragged him to the chair and took off his shirt which was drenched in liquor. He was left with his vest now. She cleaned up the place using tissue paper and ordered him some coffee. She placed it in front of him when it was delivered.
"Please take some coffee, you'll feel better" she said looking at his slightly open eyes while he was leaning on his chair. He looked away and refused to drink it.
"I know you hate me and I'm the last person you want to see right now. But the truth is, you need support, you need someone beside you in moments like this. Maybe you should call your mum or someone from your family, or a friend. I'm sorry about what happened sir, please take your coffee" she insisted.
He took the cup and gulped it all at once and she smiled. She knew that wasn't the end of his attitude towards her but she was glad he listened to her this once. He took his phone and dialed his mum's number.
"Hello mum..... please come...I need you. I'm going crazy" he said with tears in his eyes. Vanessa couldn't help but shed some tears too, she wiped her tears and looked at him.
"You're going to be fine okay, you'll be fine" she said and left the office. His mum came in no time and took him home with her. Vanessa was glad he had someone to take care of him.
Days later, Victor invited her over to his house and prepared a special meal for her. They ate and she enjoyed it because he was very good at cooking. He said he had learnt it from his grandmother who raised him.
"I didn't know you were this good at cooking, I mean I almost ate my plate" she laughed.
"Next time I'll make sure you eat the pot and the gas cooker" he said laughing and playing with her hair as she leaned on him. They were on the couch in his sitting room.
He raised her face and looked into her eyes, he kissed her passionately and grabbed her waist. She had a thick waist since she was a little bit chubby, she was wearing a short gown a little above her knees.
He continued to kiss her and caress her, he unzipped her dress from the back and unhooked her bra. Her bare breasts enticed him the most, they looked full and soft, her nipples starred him in the face like they were yearning for him, he wasted no time in grabbing them with his lips and sucking each simultaneously.
She was lost, she could barely breathe, he was on top of her now, he slowly raised her gown and made to take off her underwear. She opened her eyes and made to sit up. He was confused, he didn't understand why she did that.
"I'm sorry Victor, I'm not ready for this yet." He said.
Her words hit him like a bullet, he felt really bad because he was at the peak already. All he wanted was to make love to her, he wondered why an adult aged 26 would not be ready to have sex with her boyfriend.
He expected them to have a beautiful night full of chit-chats and in depth love making, he was disappointed at her behavior. She wore her bra back, dressed up immediately and made to leave.
"What's this Vanessa you're leaving? I thought you're spending the night? And why aren't you ready to have sex with me? I thought we were in love. I've waited for this day for so long, why are you ruining this now?" he said bitterly
"Victor I'm sorry I can't do this right now, you don't understand.....there's something I need to tell you. I should have told you earlier.
"What's the matter, what's this thing you need to tell me about. What is it Vanessa? Are you sick or something? You know you can tell me any
thing....please say something"
"It's..... The thing is…"
