My Messiah :Love in Damascus - Episode 22

 

She was reluctant at first but she ate the meal. After we were done eating, we played like newly found couples in the garden. I could see old Trevor looking at us from a distance. The atmosphere in the garden was fun and lovely, we had never played like this before. I think my plan had worked, but what was still baffling me was the fact that she had never told me she loved me and I felt this was the perfect time to tell her how I felt again.

"Sasha, I love you" I said sharply

I saw sudden change in her reaction. The funny and lovely atmosphere got retarded once . She went back to her seat and I followed instantly.

"What is wrong Sasha? Why is your mood always sad anytime I talk about love" I continued

"It is because I am not ready for it"

"Why? Don't you love me?" I asked but she gave no response. I held her hand tightly and before I knew it tears had filled her face and it started dipping on my hand

 "Why are you crying?" I asked but she didn't say anything. I tried to soothe her but the tears kept rolling down her cheek.

Suddenly a plan popped up in my mind, a very devilish plan. I had ignored it at first but it kept up popping

. So I bent down a little and tilted my head to meet her lips and I kissed her tenderly and gently but she didn't pull back. The devil got hold on me and filled my lustful heart, So I began to kiss her more passionately. After some minutes, she pulled back and I felt ashamed.

"I am sorry" I apologized "I didn't know what came over me"

"It is okay" she said simply.

Was it really okay? Or was she mad again? I seriously couldn't figure it out. Maybe she had also wanted it, or maybe if it was gentle and tender, it would have been more longer. I seriously hated myself of going so passionately.

"I am genuinely sorry" I apologized again with a sympathetic face

"It is nothing" she said and my face lit for joy but suddenly sadness occupied it. Was it really nothing to her? Does it mean anything to her? Was she not really moved by it?... Different unanswered question ran through my veins.

"..... Let's go and meet the old man" she continued snapping me out of my thought.

We stood up and went to the cottage where old Trevor had been standing in the balcony watching our love scene. As we approached old Trevor, I was already lost in my thought. I had kissed Sasha for the first time, it would forever be in my dairy.

. Old Trevor seems very happy with me, but I was also happy and at the other hand, I was sad. I had kissed her, well that was a very lovely thing but she hadn't told me she loved me and that got me so baffled.

Old Trevor gave her a rose and she was happy. Sometimes, every bad person are not always bad maybe they might be lonely and their loneliness could result to bad action and aggression. Old Trevor who most people fear in the neighborhood has ended up being my friend.

After a lot of glamour, we drove back home..I found it so difficult to start a conversation in the car. So after a long drive, I pulled over in front of her house.

"Thanks for making my day splendid" she said as she aimed for the door knob but I only nodded.

"Sasha" I began and held her hand "I am so sorry, I regret my actions" I continued and placed her hand on my chest for her to feel my heartbeat. "I want you to know that my heart race for you" I added

I rushed down to open the door for her and she stepped down majestically like a queen

"Good night" I whispered silently and I wasn't waiting for a reply. So I entered inside my car briskly and drove off. I watched her through the side mirror as she entered into the building.

I got home rather happy nor dismay, I began to pace round my room just to whirl away time. When darkness finally over came the day, I retire to my bed. That particular day, I had slept like a baby for I knew tomorrow will be better and the day after would be better still. For my Messiah will yield to my call.
