5. Love bells

"What..!"Lily reiterated jumping from the bed...."You want to fùck me in the ass...?"

Tony's face flushed with embarrassment....

"Why would you ask me that....?"Lily blare out..

Tony lower his head, his whole body quivering with mortification...

"Tony..."

"You said we can play dirty..."

"Fùcking me in the ass isn't playing dirty..."

Tony sigh and leapt off from the bed...."Forget i said that..."

"Forget...!"..she huff..."Are you gay..?"

"Jesus Lily, that's disgusting, how can you even say that..."

"Well what do you want me to say.."She fling back..."You haven't been having sex with me, and today instead of banging me in my vagina, you asked for my ass...."

"Lily, i thought you would like it.."

"Who love been fùcked in the ass...., i need babies, not your sperm on my butthole.."

Ignoring her, he slid in his boxers, his head still spinning from embarrassment....

"What are you doing...?"Lily queried

He didn't answer, didn't know what else to say..., how could he possibly explain to her what's wrong with him...

She move closer to him and drag his boxers down and let her eyes lower to his now limp dick....

"We still need to have sex.."She said when she dart her gaze to him....

He nib his lips, his lack of interest bleak in his face..."Do we..?"

Her eyes sparked with annoyance at his question..."Yes we do...., why would you even ask me that.."

"So you won't mind if i say something else..."

She grunted, her lips galling from the lack of sex and his witty choice of words...."We don't need to talk.., just put your dick into my vagina..."

His phone rang, despite her words not to pick the phone, he still pick it up and answered the call.....

"Am on my way..."He said before ending the call..

"Where are you going..?"Lily ask when he grab a new pant from the drawer....

"Am needed at the office..."

"At this time..., it's almost 11pm..."

"Some investors are flying here tomorrow morning, there are somethings i need to put in order..."

"You are not going..."She stated, voice littered with vexation...

"We can't argue this, it's my work, same place i get the money to feed you..."...

"You promise we'll have sex.."

He tuck in his long sleeve, tighten the belt and pick up his car keys..."And the promise still stands.."

"Does it..., you are so reluctant to have sex.."

He didn't reply, didn't want to...

"You know what you're doing is just going to push me into the hands of another man..."Lily sass

"What did you say..?"

She spun around to glare at him..."I said exactly what you heard.."

"Are you thinking of cheating on me..?"

"Aren't you cheating.."She fling back..

"No am not, and you know that..."

"A man who's not cheating will have sex with his wife like other couple do..."

"Why are you so obsessed with this sex of a thing...?"

Exasperation triggered her guts making her lose control of the tune of her voice..."Did you say obsessed, we are married just incase you're forgetting.., married people have sex...sex., sex..."

"Don't cheat on me.."He said before opening the door...

*********************

"Good morning..."Janet said to the woman sweeping before entering the pharmacy store from the backdoor since the front door is mostly crowded by people waiting in line to be attended to...

"Good morning..."She greeted the girls she'll be taking shift from...

"You're late..."Her colleague Flora and gossip mate said climbing a metal ladder to reach a drug a customer demanded for...

"Am just 5minutes late..."Janet throw back in defense...

"It's 15minutes...."Her shift mate Nancy corrected...

She sigh trying to ignore her, Nancy was quarrelsome, most times she had tried to tolerate her stupid attitude and be cool with her but it just backfires and they go back to the wrong foot they started from.., since she almost get fired because of her, she hasn't been given a damn about her...., they don't even talk outside work, call it malice or whatever, as long as Nancy is not paying her bills and putting food in the table, she can drive her bad tongue to hell.....

"Am leaving..."Nancy said

Janet tossed a strap of her hair backward..., her eyes blinking with disdain watching Nancy leave through the backdoor...

"We already sort out account with Flora..."Her other coworker, Harriet said...

Harriet was a good girl and sometimes she wonders how she cope with Nancy rotten attitude...

"Byeee..."She said with a formed smile around her face as Harriet walk out..

"Hellooo...."A customer voice rumbled from the counter....

Janet dropped her bag, took her time to sign her name on the workers book before trotting towards the counter to attend to the man.....

********************

Janet dropped the water can on the waste bin after gulping down the rest of it...."Why are there no customers this morning, is there a sanitation...?"

"Sanitation on a monday morning.., Can't wait for you to be president of the country..."Flora said jokingly

Janet laugh..."If only women are allowed to be president..."

"A woman can be president.."

"Not in this country dominated by men..."

"You and Nancy still throwing glares at each other..?"

Janet suck in..."Am not throwing glares at her..."

"I saw how you were looking at her this morning...."

"How was i looking at her..?"

"Like this..."She frown her face and her eyes sparked with an intensity that defines disgust, hatred...."

"No, i wasn't looking at her like that..."

"You were..."

"Am totally cool with Nancy, she on the other hand..."She grunts finding a word to soothe in...."Have a big phobia for people like me.."

"People like you.."Flora chuckle..."Speaking of people like you, your friend is at the door...."

Janet turn her gaze towards the front door, she sigh, more of 'Not interested' than the joy of seeing another customer....

"Come on, go and attend to him..."Flora said

Janet poke her eyes at her, she was reluctant to go but stood up when Flora pinch her..Gosh she have a boyfriend, Flora should know that before whoring her out to the strange man who she apparently forgotten his name...., he met the guy two days ago right there at the counter...., instead of buying what he needed, he was sitting waiting for her to vomit what guys throw out whenever they see a pretty girl..., too bad he didn't read the signs that day...NOT INTERESTED...

"Hi..."He said

Janet glance at her friend before replying..."Hi, what can i get you...?"

She lightly bit her lip when she realise that isn't a way she should approach a customer, except he wasn't there as a customer....

"Sanitary pads..."He said

Janet poke her eyes...

"They're not for me..."He added with a smile circling his cheeks..

She force a smile on, he seem cute when he smile but why was he self judging/explaining himself, she didn't say anything.....

"For a friend..."He added

She nibbed her lips..."Okay..."She sigh and retreated to get the sanitary pads

"Two..."He said

Janet glance at Flora before reaching for them...

"Six hundred.."She stated packaging them...

Not taking his eyes off her, he took out his wallet and counted out three thousand...

"I said six hundred..."Janet reiterated when he dropped the three thousand on the table..

"I heard you ..., i just wanted to add that for you..."

Janet raise her eyebrow..."Oh...ok.."

She grab the money, she shouldn't have taken it, she knew exactly what the money was for, the guy is trying to buy her.., but damn she need the money, afterall she didn't beg for it...

"How are you...?"He pouted

Janet returned the smile, he's trying to be sexy with her..., who's she not to play along...

"Am fine.."

"Remember me, i was here on saturday..."

"Ya, i do, frank right..?"

"Kenny..."He said.."Full name Kenneth.."

"Okay.."

"You never got a chance to tell me your name the other day, you were busy...."

Janet suck on her teeth, because he gave her money he thinks he has the right to know everything about her...."Janet.."

"Can i call you Jenny..., As in Jenny and Kenny..."

Janet faked smile, sooner or later her face is bleakly going to show the lack of interest on where the conversation was heading....

"I thought Jenny is for Jennifer..."

"It goes for both...,Janet, Jennifer, Jerome..."

"Jerome is a boy's name..."

He chuckle..."Totally forgot..."

"Okay..."

"Do you have a free day because i will like to take you out for drinks sometimes..."

A swoon swept across Janet face..."I don't drink.."She lied

"A lunch then..."

She gritted wondering if it will sound awkward if she says she don't do lunch.....

"Am free tomorrow..."She said..

"Okay...."He dropped his phone on the table..."Can i get your number, will love to pick you up..."

She hesitated before taking up the phone..., an eye looking askance at him, she dialled in her number and handed it over to him convincing herself it will just be lunch, not a date....

Her face washed with irritation when her phone rang and he signal he was the one calling..., what did he think, that he gave him a wrong number....

"Guess i will see you tomorrow..."He said clinging to his cute smile..

Flutters pricked Janet guts...."Guess so too..."

"Do take care of yourself..."He said before leaving the store all the way staring and smiling at her...

Janet quickly spun around to face Flora...."Was he just wooing me...?"

"He got you on a date..."Flora said jokingly

Janet thought he came back when the door reopened, but who she saw shocked her like never before.....

"Hey bae..."Barry said

Janet eyes lowered down at the flowers he was holding.....

"I brought you this..."Barry said dropping the flowers on the counter..."And i bought you food, breakfast and lunch..."

"Barry...."Janet coos taking the food from him..."You didn't have to do this...."

A swoon washed over Barry's face.."Come on, you're making me shy..."

Janet chuckle....

"Uhmm..., got to go, i have some photoshoot with some clients..."

"Okay..."

"I love you..."Barry stated...

She glanced at Flora, then at Barry again but she didn't say the 'L' word..

"I love you..."Barry announced again opening the door to step outside....

"I love you..."Barry shouted from outside...

"Don't forget that...."He added...

"Jesus, that is the sweetest thing I've ever witness..."Flora jumped in the moment Barry's voice faded...

Janet look at the tag on the flowers, it says "Am sorry again"..., she sigh allowing her head ponder over her confused feelings...Does she still love Barry or not...?""""""
