Chapter 3

Jeremiah:

Fuck! She is so beautiful. Her smile!

The moment she played that song, I knew she was a church girl. This is will be hard, but I will have her, she will be mine. I'll just have to be careful with my other job. I'm sure she will freak out once she finds out about it.

For the first time in my life, I'm wearing a nightdress. Fuck! It smells like her and it's turning me on. I can't promise to make the first move tonight, I'm hard and I want to tap that ass.

"I told you I will make dinner. What are you making?" I turn around to see her leaning against the wall.

So short! So sexy! So beautiful! Those thighs! Such a turn-on!

Why did she wear a mini nightdress? It's too short. Does she know how much she is affecting me right now?

"You look sexy", she smiles at my compliment and walks toward me.

"Thanks. What are you making?" She asks then stood next to me. She is short!

Well since I can't cook real food, I made simple food. My sister taught me this simple meal.

"Grilled fish with fried chips and boiled veggies. It was the easiest to do"

"Can I help?" She asks with a smile on her face. She has a very beautiful smile. When she smiles, my whole world stops. Those lips, so inviting, so tempting, so sweet. I will taste them soon.

Fuck this! Stop it, Jeremiah! She is innocent, and you are not. She is a good girl and you are a bad boy. You'll taint her.

"Sure. Dish out and I'll go wait for the food", I remove my apron and placed it on her shoulders.

I need to give her advice.

"Listen, next time you invite a stranger to your house, especially a man. Please don't wear something so short. We are men, and we have emotions. You are making this difficult for me. You look sexy. Look at those legs", I whisper in her ear, making her groan and shiver.

"I trust you, you won't do anything as such", Does she trust me? That is a huge achievement.

"Well don't trust everyone. Even salt looks like sugar."

"How is the food?" I can't help but ask, after all, I'm the cook.

This is the only dish I know how to make. My sister taught me. I remember that day when I came home from school and asked her to teach me how to cook, she next time but today she will teach me one of her favorite meals. I miss her, I miss my sister.

I will avenge your death. Soon I'll get Mr. Cadsway. Soon

"It's bad, very bad. Your fish is half cooked, your veggies are half cooked. It's bad. Your fried chips taste awful"

What? It's bad? Is it because my cooking skills are a bit rusty? But I'm sure I cooked it right, Jess taught me.

"Hahaha", she starts laughing, I scrunch my brows I'm confused. She just told me I'm a bad cook and now she is laughing at me? What is wrong with this woman?

"I'm joking. Your food is good, it tastes delicious. I love it", she is still laughing, her laugh is beautiful.

"I nearly had a heart attack. My sister taught me how to make this." Jess was ten when she taught me this, that day we spent time together and that day she died. That bastard killed my twin! He killed my sister! I will take revenge. I am planning to kill his family members. I grew up with vengeance and hatred. When I was made the leader of this gang I decided to lay low and not attack him. But, this year I'll kill him and his family, I don't care if his new wife and stepkid are innocent. That family needs to be wiped out.

"I'm sorry. What are you thinking about?" I'm thinking about revenge, but I'll not tell you that.

"I'm thinking about how beautiful your laugh is", she blushes and smirks

"So only my laugh is beautiful?" Oh my my, so she has this side of her? I'll play along.

"Everything about you is beautiful. You are beautiful Leona and I'm very happy I met you. Your beauty is perfection itself. You are independent and I love that. You are sexy, I love that. You are innocent, I like that. You are beautiful Leona", my beautiful future wife.

"Well thank you, Jeremiah. So do you have any siblings?"

"Yes, I have three. Two brothers and one sister"

"Such a big family", we are a big family, our family is filled with love

"Yes. Do you have any siblings?"

"Yes, I do. An older sister and my brother are the same age as me."

Same age as you? Is she a twin?

"Are you a twin?" If you are, I hope your twin is as ugly as a bacteria

"No, I'm not a twin. My mother got married and I had step-siblings", her mum got married again and she has step-siblings.

Mr. Cadsway also got remarried again, and he has an innocent wife and stepchild. Why must the innocent pay for his wrongdoings?

Jeremiah everyone related to that man must pay. Causeway's family will be wiped out this year. I will close their chapters.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I want to make my first move, tonight.

"Yes, I have one. He is right in front of me", I love this side of her.

"So I'm your boyfriend?"

"I didn't say anything", this woman is making me soft

"Do you know what I would have done if I was your boyfriend?"

"No, you tell me"

"My dick would have been buried deep inside that tight ass", she gasped and closed her legs.

Someone is turned on.

"Don't close your legs. I won't fuck you tonight because I'm not your boyfriend. Now answer my question"

"I don't have one and I don't need one", she deadpan. So she doesn't have a boyfriend? I'll charm her.

"Why? Don't you want a boyfriend?"

"No. I don't need one. What's the use? My marital status is not for me to decide"

What does she mean by that?

"I don't follow", please don't let this be harder than I expected.

"Are you betrothed to someone?" I ask, she sighs and licked her fingers.

Childish woman! But I want her.

"Something like that. My mum is the one who will decide who I marry". She wants me to marry someone from church. A church boy. I will fulfill her wish since I promised her", promised her?

"What promise?" I hope it's not a stupid promise.

"When I was young and naive, I promised her that I will marry anyone she chooses for me."

Stupid woman! I feel like she is scared of her mummy.

"Do you want to marry someone who you don't love?"

"I will fall in love with him, with time"

Is she serious? How can you marry someone you don't love? This is unfair and it's hard to digest.

"Can't you talk to your mum?"

"No, I won't talk to her. I don't go back on my promises. My words are final and I won't disappoint mum", she said, then stands up and takes our plates.

"You should go to sleep", she walks to the kitchen.

Shit! I made her angry. I can't sit here and do nothing. Let me kiss her tonight. I stand up and walk to the kitchen.

"Leona", I call her, she turns around and smiles.

"Do you need anything?" I need you, her eyes are locked with mine.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked like that. It was not my place."

What have I done?

You apologized to her. You apologized. After so many years.

This woman is making you soft.

I don't care. She will still be mine.

"Goodnight", I kiss her cheek and went back to my room. I need a cold shower, I need to calm someone.
