HIRED WIFE

kissed me and I didn’t even reciprocate that kiss… and for the second part, when exactly did I say I missed you fucking me? I never said anything like that, so quit the forged words!” Tessy thundered in defense and I stood quietly watching the word exchange in front of me, too hurt to say a word to either Ben or Tessy.

” Just admit it Tessy… you still love and want me back, but this man over here is confusing you.. yes I had kissed you first but we both loved it and that’s why you didn’t push me off until some seconds later, tell him Tessy” Ben said and Tessy began crying as she kept shaking her head in the opposite direction

” Stop this Ben! it’s not true that I love you or want you back… Ton please don’t believe him please!” Tessy pleaded looking at me and still holding me tightly by the hand

I was hurt by everything I was hearing but seeing Tessy’s emotional state, I knew that showing my hurt in front of Ben would only make him believe that he won against us.

So I made a quick mental decision to defend my woman regardless of what I heard then in private we can sort out ourselves, because of a truth Tessy owes me a whole lot of explanations on why she hid the kiss part from what she told me transpired between them this morning.

As I decided this mentally, I laughed out surprising both Ben and Tessy who looked expectantly at me

” Mr Ben, is that all you’ve got against my girlfriend? a few seconds kiss?… well you’re right, she never told me all that and you know why?” I asked rhetorically and Ben looked at me without giving a reply but I continued nevertheless

“… it’s because I clearly told her that she has the liberty to exempt telling me things about you that she doesn’t consider relevant or important.. So if she didn’t mention that part of your meeting to me, then you can already guess that it means your forced kiss is an irrelevant and forgotten matter to her.. am I right baby?!” I said smilingly looking at Tessy who nodded smiling too

” Yes Ton, you’re right… you’re my boyfriend whom I love so much… you know I love you and it’s only kisses and touches from you alone that are important and memorable to me!” Tessy said emotionally and I smiled touching her cheeks

” I know baby, you don’t need to explain further.. Mr Ben I believe you’ve heard from the horse’s mouth clear and sound? so back off now and leave my girlfriend alone… Tess, let’s go in and leave this moron standing here!” I concluded and dragged Tessy by the hand out from the place we stood with Ben.

We walked the short distance in silence until we got into Tessy’s apartment and I locked the door firmly.

Tessy spoke first the moment we sat down on the plastic chairs in her sitting room

” I’m sorry Ton.. I know I was wrong to hide that part from you, but believe me it wasn’t on purpose.. he lied, God knows I never reciprocated or enjoyed the kiss nor did I say all what he accused me of! I can swear”

” Tess according to you, you never reciprocated or enjoyed the fact that you and Ben’s lips met forcefully… yet you kept it away from me and I had to hear it from the other party’s mouth? do you know how embarrassed I felt, huh Tess?” I vented boiling in anger and Tessy flinched as she has never seen me this angry before now

” I’m truly very sorry Ton.. trust me I wanted telling you but I was scared you might get it misinterpreted like you’re doing now… also I couldn’t forgive myself as I felt like I was at fault too for standing close to Ben and not being alert at his antics… please Ton I’m sorry, I will do anything to make it up to you so please don’t be angry with me anymore” Tessy pleaded softly almost close to tears and I slowly softenedMaterial © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at Tessy, I asked a question I have never thought I was going to ask until after what happened earlier

” Be honest with me Tess.. do you want sex involved in our relationship? am I starving you by opting for abstinence until marriage without your consent? If yes is your answer, then I don’t mind us having sex here and now, that way you won’t go looking for such outside when I still have my erection intact” I said shrugging and Tessy countenance changed immediately to that of anger

” stop it Ton! I am not a whore who can’t control her sexual urge, hence will start going outside for sex with my ex Ben when I’m in a relationship with you!… do you even realize how long I have stayed without sex? close to three years now yet I am still alive and happy… you know why? because my family is essential to me than all that..”

” … so why can’t I stay without sex until after marriage and no! you were wrong about me not consenting to the abstinence you suggested… we both know I did consent to it and honestly I was very glad you decided to respect me and my body, so what are you saying now Ton?” Tessy concluded and I began regretting everything I said to her, she’s right we both consented to the abstinence.

” Tess, I love you.. I’m sorry I went too far with my words but please lets stop with the secrets, I tell you everything that happens between me and Sophie at home so you won’t feel insecure… but you should know that you make me feel insecure when you keep essential things from me Tess” I explained and she nodded in understanding
