Chapter 4 PREPARATIONS

DANIELLE'S POV

The sound of the midnight crickets could not be missed as I sat in the living room of my boyfriend's house with a rechargeable lamp before me going through the list of things I would love to get the next day for my journey to commence. I bit my pen glancing through the long sheet of paper in my hands completely absorbed by my work, I didn't notice David walk behind me out of the room watching and observing my every movement with raft attention.

He sighed and sat beside me. I felt a very strong presence beside me and looked to see David glancing at me.

"Hey." I said and turned back to the paper i was holding.

"What are you doing?" David asked.

I smiled and looked at him. "Nothing much. Just making up a few list of things I'll need for the journey."

He chuckled. " Why? I don't think it's of any use." He said.

I paused and looked at him. "You don't?"

He smiled. "Yeah." He wrapped his arms around me pulling me into his embrace. I smiled and relaxed in the soothing warmth of his embrace. "I think what we need to be thinking about is what and what we should do once we get there. " He said running his fingers slowly along my smooth silk thick dark long hair. For some particular reason only known to the maker, i was gifted with a spectacular type of hair completely. They were extremely long, smooth, silky and straight cascading down my shoulders down to my waist. He brushed my hair with his hands slowly.

I smiled and rubbed my chin thoughtfully lost in a deep thought about what we could do. David examined my face and carressed my cheeks. I turned to him disconnected from my thoughts. My mind drifted to the experience we had in the a afternoon and I blushed.

"Thanks for making my day " I said and bit my lip.

He chuckled and slipped his.arm under my arm cupping my breasts. I chuckled and gasped at the pleasure that coursed through me.

He kissed my neck and squeezed harder against my breasts slipping his hand Into my nightgown. He slowly carressed my bare tits and I arched my back in pleasure. Dang it. I could feel them already hard and erect.

"Stop David." I muttered with a chuckle and took off his hand. " I'm exhausted." He chuckled and reclined against the sofa. I took a deep breath picked up the paper glancing at it lazily. I sighed. "I guess you are right. I should just drop it. "

He beamed. " That's what I'm talking about. Lets get to bed then. " He said and assisted me to get up. Before I knew what was happening, he had lifted me and carried me Into the bedroom offering me the best night of my life.

Days later, i stood by my bed in my room packing my bags and luggages silently with alot of happiness in my heart. The whole experience at the moment was still like a huge dream to me. I smiled enormously arranging the loads decorating every nook and cranny of my bed at the moment. I looked at the bag containing the money I also won from the lottery. I made a mental note to deposit it into the bank once I get there. I looked around me. It seems everything was set. There was nothing else to do.

I turned to see David leaning by the doorpost staring at me beaming. I smiled.

"Hey."

He smiled and walked in slowly and steadily with his hands in his pocket staring lovingly at me making my heart tug. He looked all set dressed in a simple t-shirt and well designed denim to match.

He held me by the waist and smiled looking down at me. " Words are not enough to describe how happy I am for you right now Danielle. " He said and tightened his grip around me with our faces super close to each other. I was finding it hard to breathe staring at him. I giggled.

"Thanks."

He shook his head. " No. You don't have to thank me. It's your hard earned work." He said chuckling.

I smiled at him feeling a bit touched. His perseverance and care staying with me through all these was what no other guy would be willing to do. I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"No." I said and stared at his lips. "I believe I still need to thank you." I said biting my lip.

He sighed and examined me. " Why? "

I looked up at him. "For being there for me through all these. " She muttered. " I'm really grateful. Trust me you have no idea how good you've even helped me just by accommodating me. "

David smiled and looked down rubbing the skin between his eyebrows.

He looked at me and smiled. The next minute, he was holding my cheeks kissing me softly. I gasped and shut my eyes slowly completely absorbed by it. I sighed as he pulled away from me after a brief moment giddy and excited at the sweet moment before me.

David looked ecstatic too. He looked at me. "So, any last minute things to do before we go?" He glanced at his wristwatch. "We still have about uhm...three hours before the flight is set. "

I looked up thoughtful. " I think I need to see my parents first. " I said.

He smiled. " You sure? Didn't you say your mum wasn't particular happy about the arrangements? Will it be wise going to announce to her about your departure on the journey she's so hard against? "

I chuckled." Forget her okay. Besides, if she refuses to see me off, dad will. "

David sighed and nodded slightly. He knew there was nothing he could do to change my mind and looked totally helpless. The fact that both my parents detested him made me feel bad..and I know he didn't like it one bit.

I noticed his sour mood and frowned. "Are you okay David?"

David chuckled. "Nothing of the sort baby. I'm just...."

I listened to what he wanted to say. " You are just what?"

He sighed and shook his head. " Forget it. Let's go see them. " He said.

I examined him for a while and smiled. We walked out of the house and shut it close. David looked at the house for a while and smiled. "I'm really gonna miss this place." He muttered.
