LOVE AGAIN

“I hope to have a taste of you anyway” he whispered loud into Valerie’s ears and slowly his hands slid a little lower to caress her curvaceous behind.

I  noticed Valerie moved uncomfortably, I couldn’t control it anymore, I didn’t care, my fist clenched tightly , I threw a jaw shifting punch at him causing him to fall over.

The noise of breaking chairs created a scene and many heads were turned towards our direction.

***VALERIE’S POV**

I gasped out at the sight of that, did he just hit Adekunle?

I  was still stunned at all that, before I could say a word, Prince pulled me to his chest, his left hand like steel holding my head pressed to his chest, so tightly I  could barely breathe as if to hide my face from seeing the sight of what happened.

I peeped through his shoulder and saw Adekunle’s bodyguards and assistants rushed to help him up, violently he pushed them and shamefully stood up to face Prince, raging with anger.

His mouth was bleeding and the punch left his cheek swollen that instant.

“You will regret this mate, this is Nigeria, you are in my hood”.

He pointed a warning finger at Prince pushing off his guards, who tried to help him.

“I only went easy because I do share my bitches with you mate’, I heard Prince say to him.

His heart was raving, I could literally hear it.

“Now there’s an exception… She’s mine only, I am not going to share her with you or anyone else, next time, I won’t leave hair one cheek swollen but your third leg too” his deep voice can never be a joke to any human, he directed it to.

Apart from his voice , the slow song from the DJ was messing with my mind with his songs.

Collide by skye

?I know you think that you know me

But you ain’t even seen my dark side

It’s reserved for you only

So, baby, do it right, do me right

We can go all the timeThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

We can move fast, then rewind

When you put your body on mine

And collide, collide

It could be one of those nights

Where we don’t turn off the lights

Wanna see your body on mine

And collide, collide?

My cheeks burnt hotly, I felt my eyes wet, I don’t care if he was lying to show off, but I have been harassed by men even in front of Luke, he only accused me of flirting with them and blamed me, but Prince …

I burst into tears and wrapped my arms around him.

The song was getting louder and louder in my head.

?I know you think that you know me

But you ain’t even seen my dark side

It’s reserved for you only

So, baby, do it right, do me right

We can go all the time

We can move fast, then rewind

When you put your body on mine

And collide, collide

It could be one of those nights

Where we don’t turn off the lights

Wanna see your body on mine.

And collide, collide?

***PRINCE’s POV***

The guards took the bastard away, now what am I going to do with this cry baby?

I lifted my hand to her hair to brush it down and console her but I put my hand back, I shouldn’t make this so obvious.

I drew a deep breath and said to her,”I hope you are not getting ideas, I did that for the public view, don’t take those words seriously”.

She stopped crying and chuckled with her face still buried on my chest that gave me goosebumps then she looked up and  gave me a glance that got my heart racing.

“I am just being emotional, you are the one getting wrong ideas”.

I frowned at that, what does that mean but a closer look at her, beneath my chin, I felt a trigger and my breath cuts, fuck! How come I haven’t noticed how cute she was all this while?

Yes I had an attraction but this time around it wasn’t just her body or personality, her face too, her round nose and pouty full lips inviting me and telling me I knew I loved the taste of them the last time.

I blinked and forced my eyes off her and looked away, only then did I realize  we are the only couple standing awkwardly, the ball dance is on.

“Let’s dance Valerie”.

She smiled at that and sniffed.

I took a tissue from the table  and helped her to damp the tears around her eyes so as to not spoil her makeover.

I could see the surprise glistening in her eyes as I stared at them to clean the mascara properly.

She managed to hold eye contact as if we were communicating with each other in our minds.

She started telling me that she was scared of something strange happening between us, an intense drawing so powerful and sexual, she is scared to fall for it, she’s scared to make another mistake of loving the wrong person so she had to fight.

I in return admitted the same, I was scared of how I felt about her, at the rate my heart was beating for her, I will turn out to be something I never thought I would ever become. She’s dangerous, too dangerous, the hell she did to me , some kind of spell, my father had warned me about women but he never told me how she could capture my heart and own it, at this point I did kill to have her to myself.

I held my breath, God if she keeps staring at that I will lose my mind and go wild.

Maybe I should tell her about my true feelings, to lessen this anxiety…

“Val…..”
