Hidden Treasures

Lanre found herself in the hotel room which K was lodged in. She has been fighting within herself, whether to go or stay. But it seems the urge to do the latter was just too overwhelming for her. She sat down on the couch with her elbows pinned to her knees and her palms holding up her chin as if her face will fall if she does not do that.

“I already ordered for what you’ll eat. It will be delivered in a few minutes”. K said to Lanre. Then he sat next to her.

“I called you yesterday. Wanted to tell you that I was coming, even though I already got to this place. But you did not answer your phone, neither did you return my call”. K said to her. She made an “Oh”, and said nothing else.

K held her face and made sure she was looking at him. “I missed you! I feel crazy right now! I wanted you, and I got what I wanted. But it felt like I didn’t get enough. That’s why I had to come Lanre. Not seeing you makes me think about you. And seeing you push asides every other thought in my head. I want you more than I can put in words”. K said to her.

Lanre laughed. She had to do that. Hearing him say that to her, she wanted to kiss him and give herself to him, but she ft she needed some control. So laughing was the only way out. But it had triggered K’s anger. He felt she was not taking him serious. How could she be laughing when he is saying something he has never said to any girl before. She seem to think he was a joke.

He held her arms tightly. He was hurting her. She tried to pull away while telling him to stop but he didn’t want to. “Why? Why did you have to laugh when I was saying something that serious?” He asked her. She told him nothing. But he kept on pestering her to spill it all out.

“Why wouldn’t I laugh? Don’t I have mouth to laugh?” She asked. “Was that a joke to you?” K asked her.

“Kehinde, no! I just couldn’t help wanting to kiss you. So I resorted to laughing”. Lanre finally spilled the bean. K asked her why she wanted to help it. If she wanted to kiss him, she should go ahead. “But……” Lanre was about to say something more, but K cut her off with a kiss, making her to swallow up her words.

Lanre responded to K’s kiss correspondingly matching up with him. They both tasted each other as if there were hidden treasures in the other’s mouth that they would love to get. It would have been an endless kiss if the hotel attended had not ring the doorbell bell.

“I think your food is here”. K muttered. Then he stood up to go get the door. He didn’t let in the attendant. He took in the food himself and sent the attendant away.
