Chapter 5 005

Later in the evening, I wore my white long gown that flowed down to the ground.

I can't forget that day in a hurry.

I felt so shy staring at myself in the mirror over and over again.

I smiled to myself as silly imaginations flew into my brain.

Of course, I imagined him kissing me and lots more even saw him asking me for marriage.

I sneaked outlaying my pillow in straight lines and covering them with a blanket keeping one the gown I wore on the bed so no one would attempt to uncover the people, they would think I am naked and would slowly work out.

Reaching the mansion, I felt scared of going in, their walls were very tall making it impossible to see anything happening inside.

"Why can I trust him? I only mate him twice and am risking my job for him," I muttered to myself. Some seconds after, I saw a vehicle drive past me and the gate got opened for him.

This made me gather some morals to work in through the gate.

At entering, I met another guy, who was being hailed and addressed as "Milla," (slang in Nigeria meaning million.) He walked to me touching me from behind.

"Good evening sir," I greeted.

"Call me Milla, that's what everyone calls me," he said.

"Are you Mac David's guest?" He added.

I looked at him surprised at how he knew me.

"Yes, how did you know?" I asked.

"He has been saying a lot about you," he said

"Hope you don't turn him down," he added, pointing his hands towards a corridor I hopeful, that should be where Mac is.

I moved through the corridors and claimed to the rooftop where mac stood dressed in a suit, his two arms crossed to the back as he stares at the stars and moon trying to figure something out.

He looked very disappointed and was on the rooftop alone well the party went on inside the mansion.

"Mac David," I called on him with whispering, but he heard me anyway and turned.

It seemed as if he had been expecting me for the longest time and my arrival lightened up his face s faint smile on his face.

He stares at my dress in admiration, making me feel shy but chooses not to react.

His eye meeting with mine made my heart skip.

My heartbeat was faster than usual as my eyes widened.

"Gloria!" He exclaimed walking closer to me and giving me a tight hug.

He didn't look like the strong and muscular guy I met at day, he looked more of a cry baby to me.

It was so unusual hugging him.

I hugged him back, I could feel how intensive the heat from his body was, interacting with my constant heartbeat.

Unlike the Mac I met who smiled a lot, this day, he didn't smile rather, he was moody and looked as if he was worried about something but I am not in the right position to enquire what the problem was.

He laid on my shoulder for minutes saying nothing to me. It felt so weird hugging someone for a long time as I started sweating and my steady heartbeat, shaking.

After a well, he jerked up immediately as if he had just come back from trauma.

"Is there a problem?" I asked as he stared at me.

"I like your dress, you look very pretty in it," Mac said, pulling out a red rose flower from his pocket, placing it on my hair.

My eyes widened at seeing such a gesture, it looked similar to what happens in Indian romantic movies but, this is happening for real.

"Thank you," I muttered with my shy face looking down.

I don't know what came over me but I felt speechless that night.

The way he stared into my eyes made me breathless.

As he stared at me consistently, I had to carry my face up. My eyes met his as my heart skips again and again.

I froze looking into his as he held onto my face. "Please don't do it, please do,"

I said in my mind as a lot of imagination ran into my head.

We are not in an Indian movie where everything happens so fast.

My mind battled while my gaze was steadily on him. I was surprised when he knelt, I thought to myself that one of my imagination just come to pass.

He held onto my two arms while he knelt.

Looking down wasn't the best idea. I forced myself to look directly into his eyes.

"I have never believed in falling in love, but meeting you changed such ideas from my head," he said turning looking at me without a blink.

My heart skipped again and my shy face, searching if anyone had seen us.

My lips mumbled but difficult to respond to him.

I was convinced he loved me; I still felt it wouldn't be the same if I tell him I'm from a poor home.

"But we just met," my unstable lips muttered.

"You just met me and that is not the same to me." He stops and swallowed. I was very surprised because never had I seen that car apart from two weeks before the party.

"You noticed me recently but I knew you months ago.

I use to admire and wish of talking to you, meeting you on your way back from school was the most suitable time to try," he responded, standing to his feet.

"I love you Gloria, and I want to be yours forever," he muttered looking into my eyes.

"I need a response from you Gloria!" He muttered.

"I don't know what to say, Mac," I responded.

"If nothing those last forever, I want to be your nothing, to be there when you need someone to talk to," he said grabbing my waist.

My heartbeat increased at his grip.

In as much as I imagined this happening, I didn't expect such a rush.

I looked at his pink and watered lips, my mind didn't understand my body movement anymore, they were both reacting differently.

As much as my mind said no, my body said the direct opposite.

He moves his head slowly, closer to mine, and as much as I expected and was willing, the same was the fear and my heartbeat.

My heartbeat could wake a dead man.

My two eyes fastened close, as his soft lips met mine, and my heartbeat went mute. This flips and torment to my lips continued for minutes, I wouldn't say I wanted it to end as his hands which had touched me gave me pleasure.

I had to stop him, I didn't come for that and also, I shouldn't look desperate to him.

"Am sorry," he apologized putting his face down.

"There's no problem, "I responded adding a smile. This smile meant a lot at the moment.

He smiled, taking me out of the mansion to a garden nearby.

We sat there listening to some songs with his earphone and discussing too.
