Chapter 10
The lovers slept the whole day, woke up at 3:00 pm fell into another hot section of love making, ate and went back to sleep again.
Left for Chris, he would love to have her close to him all the time, including the sex part.
He is not a sex freak but there is something about this lady sleeping besides him that attracts him. He does not know what it is, but it is more than a fling.
He could have quit the shots and called it a one night stand but coming after her and stealing her away from work is something he wouldn't call a night stand or fling.
"Sleeping beauty" he called her the moment he saw her wake up.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked.
"Yeah, just feel weak" she replied.
He came unto her and kissed her lips.
"You need to rest" he said kissing her lips.
"Yes, I really need to rest" she replied and relaxed under him.
"I think I know the best way to make you relax" he bent down and consumed her mouth in a deep kiss.
"Get off" she pouted and managed to push him off.
"Come on, just one round please?" he begged.
She gave him a horror look, she didn't know he loves sex this much.
"We had sex all morning and afternoon and you are still not okay" she managed to slip off but he held her to himself.
"Please" he begged her.
Like seriously?? Is there any man that still begs even after two hot rounds of sex? he still wants more? She wondered?
"Please honey, just one more time" he begged.
"I would've loved to stay but I can't. I missed work today and I don't want my parents to worry at all. They will be worried if Cordis went home without me". She said as she hurriedly puts on her clothes.
She looked at him and sighed. She don't know why she feels hurt seeing him beg her.
The sight of him begging her hurts her a lot but the last thing she will do is to sleep over at her boss apartment or sleep out without telling her parents.
'It's not as if we're dating' she thought.
"Then, let me take you home okay?" he begged and she accepted.
He rose to his feet full of smiles and dress up. He gently brushed his hair and they walked out.
He grabbed her bag from her as they walk to the car. That is something he loves to do for his woman.
She stood beside him and they walk straight to the car.
As soon as his driver saw him open the car door, he rushed to him and offered to do his job but he kindly declined.
"But your father said to never let you drive" the driver argued but Chris was not buying any of it.
Somewhere beside him, Dorris was thinking about what the driver said.
'Just what kind of a man is his father that he said not to let him drive'
'Is he a rich man, perhaps wealthy?'
'Is he some kind of president or the senator?'
She held all these in her mind, she is not going to ask her boss. It would be rude of her. She is not interested in his family affairs.
"Come on, let's go" Chris said.
She nodded and entered the back seat, her boss followed behind.
The driver brought the engine to life and drove out of the company.
It was an 45 minutes drive, the driver pulled over at the residence.
Her boss walked her to the gates kissed her goodnight and went back to the car.
She smiled and bit her lips shyly.
She felt loved and cared for.
The things her excuse of a boyfriend couldn't do for her, her boss is doing it more. Double folds.
She went inside the house and met her parents sitting on the double settee opposite Mary.
She drew closer to her parents but they did not notice her.
They were lost in Mary's story.
She stopped to listen to what it was all about.
She was telling them about her trip to Dubai.
How come they are not surprised at that?
'Why will they laugh when Mary raised the topic?'
'They ought to be mad at her and caution her for what she did to their daughter'
She expected them to reprimand her about what she did but here they are laughing to her stories.
They had to laugh at her little trip with Andrew.
'Her own Andrew'
When she was sure they're not gonna do anything, she flung her bag to the couch and charged towards Mary.
"You little slut, how dare you show your face in here after what you did!" she rushed towards Mary and grabbed her hair. She hit her hard against the wall and pounced on her.
She was full of rage and hatred for her.
She had to teach her a lesson since her parents couldn't do it.
"How dare you sleep with my man and show your face to me?" she screamed as she scratches Mary's face.
"Let go of me, you idiot. Why will he cheat on you if he loves you?" Mary fired back but that earned her a slap.
Dorris slapped her across her face and squeezed her hair in her hands.
Before her parents managed to separate them from Mary, she had given her a tough but rough mark on her face.
Shreds of Mary's hair flew all around the room. But she care not, her main aim was to teach her never to run after people's man again especially your sister's man.
"You thank your stars my parents got involved, I would have given you tribal marks you can never erase!" Dorris said as her father held her.
"I didn't run after Andrew, he came to me!. He told me he loves me and not you" Mary defended herself
"Little whore, what do you know about love! What do you know about love! You ungrateful daughter of a bitch. I bet your mom is a whore just like you are!" Dorris fired at Mary.
That statement alone got her mother angry. She left Mary's side and landed Dorris hot slaps on her cheeks.
"How dare you call her that? What right do you have to treat my family like that? Do you have no shame? Huh? Do you have no shame?"
her mother said as she pushed away from her husband.
Dorris felt hurt with her mother's words but it didn't help the fact that her mother called her shameless.
She was fighting with Mary, not her mom.
She watched her mom rain abuses on her.
All her life, she have never ever see her parents act in this manner.
Her mom precisely.
This is something new, something she never ever wanted to experience, something she wished didn't happen.
Something they've always avoided, now it's real all because of Mary.
Her mother was fuming in anger, her dad had a cold face and Mary was clutching her head and sobbing in a couch.
And Dorris?
She was beyond description, if anyone had told her that her family would turn into this in generations to come, she would've cursed the soul.
What can she do to make things right?
'Apologies'
A sincere and heartfelt apology.
She took in calm air and walked towards her mom.
"Mum, I am sor….." she was still speaking when her mom cut her off.
She didn't want to hear her apologies at all. She dimmed it useless to listen to a fool.
Dorris took one last look at her family and went into her room.
'Maybe they'll come to their senses by morning' she thought.
Early the next day, she woke up, did her morning bathroom routine and went to the kitchen.
She decided to make to make breakfast before her family wakes up, that she planned to do.
By 7am, she had served the dishes and waited patiently for her family to show up.
Soon, they all arrived at the table.
She was in a happy mood because she got a message last about a salary increase.
That message alone made her forget the troubles of yesterday.
"Good morning mom" she greeted her mom. Her mother didn't pass her a second gaze, she walked over to her seat and sat down.
"Good morning dad" she greeted her dad and he returned the greeting with a warm hug.
He kissed her forehead and occupied his seat opposite her.
They do not eat without the rest, so they sat waiting for Mary.
"Good morning mum and dad" Mary greeted as she walk towards her seat.
"Good morning sweetheart, how are you" her mom responded.
She drew out Mary's seat beside her.
When Mary sat down, she kissed her forehead and squeezed her hands a bit.
"Mum, I am okay. You don't have to worry about me" her mom nodded and blessed the food.
They all ate in silence, but Dorris was so uncomfortable.
She kept a straight face at her mom and Mary.
Her mom was busy nursing another woman's child while she watches them.
She is not perfect and she knows that but whatever happened last night was to teach Mary a lesson.
She didn't mean for things to get this awkward.
"I have good news" Dorris said while sipping her juice. Her mom hissed while Mary snorted.
Her father?
He smiled and said "go on dear, tell us the good news"
Dorris smiled and adjusted her napkin.
"I got a raise in the office!" she screamed out loud.
"That calls for a big celebration sweetheart"
Her father said in between smiles, she turned over to her mom.
"Mum, did you hear what I said? I got a raise in the office?" She repeated, expecting her mom to be happy but got the same opposite reaction.
"So, when are you moving out?" her mother asked her instead.
"Who's moving out mom?" she asked her mom with surprise written all over her face.
"Dorris Andrew Mercy, when are you moving out?" her mother repeated.
"Mother, are you now chasing me away? Come on this is my father's house for Christ's sake". Her mother sighed and stood up.
"I do not want to see you here tonight or I will be forced to throw you out" her mother fired at her.
She was shocked.
She looked at her dad hoping to see a positive reaction or some kind of comfort but didn't get any.
She left her food and went to work.
She just lost her appetite.
