"I don't need a gate man. Have you forgotten who I am? My devices will do more" he said boast full with a smirk.
"Oh it skipped my mind" she mocked.
"Excuse me. I'll be back in a jiffy".
"Wait I think I'm hot. Can I take a shower?"
This time his shock was written all over him. It is barely noon and she want to take shower when she didn't take a walk not to talk of walking in the sun. He knew this isn't ordinary.
"Hey! What's up with the look? I didn't say I want to take a shower with you. I only asked if I can, which is any bathroom aside yours" she mocked.
Her sudden attitude was freaking him out that he didn't know what to say. He led her to a room and left for his.
As he changed, his mind wasn't at rest at all. He couldn't tell what prompted such actions from her or what she wants to do.
The lady that won't want to step a food in his house wants to bathe. He was scared because he knew that the era if not touching in their relationship has elapsed.
He knew he was to be blamed for their relationship. Somaria has always been understanding. Just a call will calm her down. His fears really made him to hesitate. He counted his steps praying not to find her void of clothes.
As he stepped into the living room, he saw her seated beaming with smile. She wore a sleeveless top and a short knickers. He didn't know where the ease came from, he just felt it. All the tension in his body reduced to the barest minimum.
She volunteered to cook which she did beautifully. After their meal, the engaged in deep conversation. She was usually close to him but he never care because he was really enjoying himself.
As they spoke she was busy observing him. The way his body !loves, his reactions to when she jokingly touch him. He was so coordinated that no matter where his hands rises to, it won't do the mistake of touching her. She tried many times to hold his look but he looks away quickly.
This happenings gave her the confirmation that her sister us extremely correct. She knew she had to end things fast before she loses her courage. She suddenly moved closer to catch him unaware to kiss him.
Juan was so fast to avoid it. He removed her hand from his neck gently and moved back.
"I'm sorry" he said in a low voice when he saw the surprised look on her.
Juan has always avoided any intimacy with her schooling himself with the thought that he is not a fan of premarital sex. Now the situation that is about to emerge is one of his fears.
Somaria moved closer to kiss him a gain thinking it is because she did that suddenly but this time Juan stood up.
"Must we do this?" He asked calmly not wanting to offend her
"It's just an harmless kiss" she said looking at him.
"A kiss can drive anywhere Ria. I don't want us to do things that will drive to regret" he said before he realised the implication of what he said.
Somaria gave a sad gloomy look. "Regret?" She scoffed standing up slowly.
Juan robbed the back of his neck, regretting his words. "I didn't mean it the way you are thinking".
"What then do you mean?" She laughed bitterly. "Tell me Juan" she asked with smothered anger.
"Please calm down" he pleaded.
"We've been in this relationship for over two years and your think we will still have regrets?"
Her eyes was spitting anger while her voice shook.
"I can't believe this" she hand combed her hair with her two hands.
Juan went to her knowing it is only placating that can kill this issue burning up and took her hands.
"Don't get me wrong Ria. I just hate premarital sex" he defended himself.
Somaria took her hands from his. "Premarital you say?" She giggled. "Let me ask you one thing".
Juan looked at her without uttering a word.
"When did we ever sit do discuss our future?" She blurted out.
Juan closed his eyes wishing things will be back to normal.
"You see, you don't have an answer and you have the right to cajole me with not wanting a premarital sex" she looked at him sternly. "Spare me that Juan. You don't even care about me as your girl not to talk of thinking of marrying me" she said crisply.
"C'mon Ria, I do care about you" he said palely.
"Of course you do.isn't that the reason you pitifully kept me all the while not wanting to hurt my poor feelings? You were waiting for a miracle to happen so you can veg on that to let go off me?" She said baldly as tears stream down her cheek.
Juan was so sad for her tears. This is what she's been avoiding all the while and now he is getting it.
"Don't cry Ria" he pleaded softly.
"If you don't want me to, swear that you love me" she asserted.
"Ria" he called
She glared at him.
She shook her head. "I've been a fool all these while, thinking I've got a man in my life, not knowing I've just travelled to the land of deception" she said sniffing.
"Don't say that Ria. What we had is beautiful" he corrected gently.
"Indeed and you don't want to give me a simple kiss. Enough of your pity on me Juan. I'm putting an end to this childish thing we call relationship" she said firmly.
The shock that hit Juan got him dizzy. He didn't forecast that. "What did you just say?"
"I said I'm putting an end to this pretense of a relationship" she said picking her words one after the other.
Now Juan was fretting. Despite his feelings for another, he still didn't want to lose her. She has been a wonderful friend to him. He wasn't happy with himself and he was downcasted.
