I’m Sorry – Episode 7

I’m Sorry – Episode 7
7
The day for Annie to arrive finally came and I prepared very well to make this meeting exceptional. I arranged my stuffs in the room and watched the rom-ntic scenes again, this time very well. I then took my bath and dressed decently and left to the hall to wait for her. I switched off my phone after checking my messages on WhatsApp in order to avoid any interruptions this time.
I heard the bell ringing and left to the gate without wasting time. I got there and there she was. I hugged her and with our hands held together like couples on their wedding day left to the hall. She sat and I made way to the kitchen to get something for her. I was really elated So much that it showed in my actions. Annie is finally in a good mood and I think we can start planning toward our future now , I thought.
I was a business student while in school and gained admission to do marketing in the university so I guess which field I will end up in either a P.R.O or an Administrator. Annie on the other hand did general arts in school and chose Law so would obviously become a lawyer. I just can’t wait to see us together in some years. Still in the kitchen I prayed silently for strength to be in control of whatever may happen along the line.
Annie came over to assist after she realised I had kept long in returning. She then took charge while I stood somewhere watching her very quietly. As I watched I realized she was different from Ann. Ann was the entertaining type who doesn’t like working. I really don’t like comparing them but the presence of them makes me feel like doing so. All that while Annie wasn’t aware I knew Ann so as we prepared the meal, she brought the issue up and I listened without making comments whatsoever.
“ Ann had returned from the states and I rarely see her at home. She often goes out without informing anyone of her whereabout. Mum always complains when returns but she never gives heed to her”. Annie then said this while staring at me .
I think its due to her stay overseas that’s why, ” I said pretending I didn’t know her.
It could be ,because she doesn’t even talk to anyone and mostly feel she can do anything without their consent” Annie told me as she placed the meal on a serving tray and we left to the hall.
We ate together in a more loving way as I played some music to go with the flow. As I ate I just couldn’t stop staring at Annie. I took some rice with my spoon and tried feeding her. She opened her mouth and I dived the spoon around her l-ips. It was really exciting as she kept turning her mouth around the spoon. I just kept doing it but she began coughing after sometime. I rushed to the kitchen to get some water for her.
I gave it to her and she immediately drank it. I felt sorry for doing that. I then went on my knees to plead for my actions, surprisingly as I knelt down she held my hands and we both stood facing each other. She held my neck with her hand and asked if I can promise her something. “Can you promise you would be with me till the end?”. I was at a loss on how to answer her as I didn’t know what the future holds.
I stared at her and replied “ Yes, Sweet heart I will”. she immediately hugged me very tight such that I even found it uneasy breathing. I tried releasing myself as I k-ssed her still with our arms around each other. I then remembered what I decided on before Annie came. I raised her up like a baby in my arms still k-ssing into my bedroom. This time I made sure there would be no interruptions so we could enjoy and have some fun.
I was pretty sure Annie wouldn’t object as I tried taking off my clothes. I immediately realized she changed her mood and I was puzzled as to why the switch in mood. She pushed me back this time, which made me confuse as to what was wrong this time. I began to stand motionlessly like I had no purpose on the earth.
What do u take me for” she said out loud. I stared at her guessing what was wrong this time. I tried touching the sensual part of her body to let go of what has come over her. She pushed me again now very hærd such that it was like a gas on explosion. All I could hear was that “” I came here not for this but to make up with you, I don’t think it should always be this” We are still young, and you know of the implications it could bring.” Annie said as she stared at me.
I became irritated at why she said that. She was always bringing up unseeming issues in every meeting we have. I just didn’t know what she was about. Could it be because of what happened I reflected on it several times but still not convinced in thoughts. I stood up from where she pushed me to the washroom. I felt ashamed of myself. I just wanted to release some tension. I sat on the jacuzzi thinking about what I could have done wrong.
I couldn’t bring up any as I sat there feeling like a fool. Thoughts of Ann began to flash through my mind. Ann would have certainly not behave like Annie just did. Annie is being awkward and stubborn I imagined. Ann would have even insisted I do it. I then came up with an idea which I knew would be heart aching but I gave no heed to the consequences later because I didn’t want my manh-od to be tired of dancing “one corner” I thought.
