Chapter 4
A week later she had given herself completely to him, he made
it all very romantic and special. She had felt like a princess, he had rented
the honey moon suite for the Spanish court hotel, he had carried her into the
room as if they had just been married, there were rose petals littered
everywhere. He gave her a sensuous bath, made her put on a bathrobe, then they
had drank champagne and ate fruits, he had stared at her the whole evening
telling her how beautiful and sensuous she looked. He had finally laid her down
on the bed and had made passionate love to her doing things that no man had
ever done before, never in her life had a man kissed her toes and made her moan
as much as she did, he had given her oral sex something she had only
experienced once before and had dismissed as being lies her friends had told
her when they had said how good it was.
This time she screamed and moaned and uttered words her pastor would
have mistaken for tongue speaking, never had she had an orgasm thinking it was
not possible but that night he gave her multiple.
He pleased
her and she was glad when she pleased him, when she heard his moans and felt
him hang on to her and make ugly faces it gave her immense pleasure, she tried to please him in ways she
had never pleased a man before and was greatly rewarded.
She hated
when the weekend was over, it had been a weekend of happiness, he had told his
wife he was going to a business trip to Montego Bay so they had been free, by
the weekend was over, she had fallen in love with him, living in the moment,
with no thoughts of the future.
The
weeks after that were the happiest for both of them, they snuck away from
work to hotels whenever they could, careful not be seen
leaving together. They text each other at work, talking about the dirty things
they wanted to do to one another and professing their undying love to each
other. The comings of Mrs Marie Sinclair to the office didn’t bother Amanda
anymore she would smile to herself knowing her boyfriend hated this horrid
woman and she was the one making him happy. They lived in their own little
fantasy world, not letting or wanting reality to slip in. Paul warned Amanda
not to tell anyone their secrets to keep it just between each other but she was
so happy she could not keep it to herself; she had finally found a man to make
her happy, a man who understood her and pleased her to the utmost so she
decided to tell her friend Olive.
Olive had
been her best friend since high school but had migrated to Panama in the second
year of university, she had visited her once and they spoke over the phone very
often. This was something Amanda could not keep from her “bestie” she was way
too happy, thus she told her everything. Olive listened with concern, she loved
her friend wanted desperately for her to be happy but she didn’t think this
happiness would last. “ I am very happy for you” she said “ happy that you have
found someone to make you happy for you deserve all the happiness in the world,
however I am sad that it has to be with this man, frankly i do not trust him,
if he is unhappy why doesn’t he get a divorce and come to you? Why do you have
to hide your happiness? Since this is
the best sex you have ever had, I think you should continue to have sex with
him, have a little fun but please do not give him your heart for that will only
end in disaster, just remember I am here if you need me” Amanda smiled to
herself when she heard this, she resolved not to tell Olive she was already in
love with him for then she would be overly concerned and disappointed.
Amanda lived with her Christian grandmother and her two
cousins ever since her parents had died in a car crash when she was younger.
One night after Paul dropped her off from work, her grandmother met her at the
door, “ I have always admired you Mandy” she began, “ you have always been one
of my few grandkids who have managed to make wise decisions, I have admired
your strength in stormy times and your reputation has been stalwart and
untarnished over the years. However over these past months I have observed a
change in you, you seem happy and I have found the source of your happiness to
be that married boss of yours that drops you home late sometimes. I do not make
it a point to meddle in my children’s lives but this time I have to, I am just
going to give you a piece of advice. Married men are trouble, they will not
leave their wives for you, they will have their fun and then they will go home
to their wives, please baby do not fall into the trap of believing everything
that comes out of a man’s mouth, nothing good will come out of this situation,
in the end you will get the shitty end of the stick, you will be the one left
to pick up the broken pieces, end it before it goes any further, save yourself
from heartache”
“But mama, I love him and he is different, he is not using
me, he makes me so happy, happier than I have ever been, his wife is awful, I
make him happy” her grandmother sighed and stepped towards her, she folded her
into her arms, “ aww child, I am so sorry for you, for twenty three years I
have tried to nurture and protect you but I guess this one you have to learn on
your own” she looked towards the sky “ O God, she is young , please don’t teach
her too hard a lesson” she kissed Amanda’s forehead and went inside.
They
continued to see each other falling deeper in love as the weeks went by, not
thinking or caring of what the world would say about them if they knew. Her
happiness
knew no bounds she was beyond caring about anything until she
missed her period for two months and went to the pharmacy, bought the pregnancy
test and saw the two strokes.
Chapter 5
She stopped reminiscing and sat up on
the bed, she had a task to perform she had to know how Paul felt about this new
development, she had to stop stressing and wondering so she could figure out
what to do. She sent him a text saying she needed to see him so they could
speak, he replied that he was at a function with his family but they could go
to a hotel later.
He picked her up at six and they went
to the hotel, when they arrived at the room, he proceeded to kiss her fiercely,
leaning her into the wall and ripping her shirt off her. “I feel like being
rough tonight baby, I want it hard and fast, I was thinking about you the whole
time, I was at that boring party, having to pretend that I was interested in
what those rich boring old farts had to say” he sucked on her neck while
grabbing her butt, “o God I miss you so I can’t get enough of you” she
stiffened against him “ Paul I want to talk “ he hoisted her unto the wall and
kissed down towards her tummy, “ let’s talk after I can’t wait, I need you” she
pushed him off and slid down to the ground “ this is serious” she yelled, “ I
am damn pregnant” his eyes widened “
holy hell” why didn’t you say so before, when in heavens name did you find
out?”
“Yesterday, are you mad Paul? Does
this baby make you unhappy? You said you wanted a child? Do you want it? Do you
still want me? Do you hate me are you going to leave her?” she babbled.
“Stop, baby what is it with those
questions? He bent down on one knee and kissed her tummy repeatedly, I am happy
that you are pregnant, finally a child” she was so happy she began to cry and
rub her hand through his hair, “ oh Paul I thought you would be unhappy, I
honestly don’t know how it happened , we used a condom every time and because
my period is irregular I thought it was nothing I never in my wildest dreams
thought this would happen but I am happy, you are happy, my mind is at peace.”
“oh Amanda now we are finally free,
now I can be with you, all you have to do is have a healthy baby, that is all
that is needed, I will give you your own apartment, you won’t have to come to
work anymore, you will have everything you need so that you can have a healthy
baby, I will pamper you and take care of all your needs we will be free baby.
Of course I will have to get a lawyer to draw up the papers”
“Your divorce papers?” she asked,
hope and joy fluttering in her heart, “yes that too but first we must do the
adoption papers”
“What adoption papers?” she asked
“who is getting adopted?”
“Why this baby, how do you think we
will be free? She always wanted a baby so we will sign it over to her when it
is born, then she will give me the divorce I always wanted, she will finally
let me go to do what I want. You are young you can have more babies, you won’t
miss this one, but she can’t have anymore she will die if she tried. She has
been in my skin to get you pregnant for a long time now, now she can get what
she wants and we will be able to have all the fun we can” she pushed him off
her and screamed “you mean she knew? All this time she knew? She knew about us
and you were just using me to get pregnant and have her baby? What kind of
person do you think I am? What kind of person are you? Oh my God, you didn’t
love me, you only wanted my eggs” she couldn’t help the tears that fell from
her eyes,
“ come on baby” he cajoled “ of
course I love you but you are twenty three at your young age what would you be
doing with a baby, you still have a lot of life to live, do you know her father
owns the company we work for? Do you know the house I live in the car I pick
you up in is owned by her? Do you know that we have a joint account that she
controls, if I leave her I leave with nothing, how would we survive, you are
poor and I would be if I left her, I think it is best if we just give her what
she wants, she will turn a blind eye to us and we can continue to have fun. You
can even keep the apartment after you have the child and maybe she will even
give you a car. Come on baby don’t be like that let’s have makeup sex
everything will soon be alright” she backed away from him, this was not the
Paul she knew, they had planned together to get her pregnant and take away her
baby, he would never leave her, they would never be exclusively together, she
was just young fun, did he really love her? She doubted it, he had been using
her, she felt stupid and used, how naïve she had been “ she looked at him and
she wanted to kill him, she wanted to squeeze his throat until the breath left
his body , she wanted to feel the life draining out of him.
“Mandy
you cannot take care of a baby yourself, if you decide to keep it for yourself
I will have to fire you and I will not claim it so just give it up babes, it is
best for everybody, I love you and I still want to protect you, my wife is evil
she will do anything to let you suffer”
she wiped the tears from her eyes as a plan began to take shape in her
mind “ take me home , I want to think about it a little, this is all too
sudden, let me think about it” he
grinned “I knew you would understand and see the light baby, I knew you would”.
He drove her home and she let him kiss her before she came out of the car, she
went inside and called Olive , she began to cry and told her what had happened,
“ oh Jesus , I have a plan” said the ever resourceful best friend, “you will
come here and stay with me and have your baby, peter won’t mind , they cannot
touch you here, you will come here and you will forget him, he will not be able
to find you, tell no one but your grandmother, we will figure it out afterwards
I will book you a ticket for tomorrow, do not worry about the money, just pack
your bags.”
She
left for Panama the next day to live with her friend, she didn’t contact Paul
again and her grandmother told her he had come to the house only twice to ask
for her. She surmised he had probably moved on to seducing the next surrogate
for his wife, it hurt her but she got over it. Six months later she had a seven
pound beautiful baby girl “what will you call her?” asked her friend Olive
holding unto her hand and smiling into the baby’s face, “I would have called
her Alexander the great if was a boy” she giggled “but I will call her
Alexandrea she is the only great and positive thing to come out of this whole
horrible situation” olive smiled at the beautiful baby, “she will be great and
you will be fine, it was a horrible beginning but it has a beautiful ending,
cheers to new beginnings.”
The End.
