JUST A TASTE
“It
was the least I could do” he leaned forward and kissed her. She melted into his
body; and became giddy with the potent male scent that was naturally his. Her
hands circled his neck of their volition, she could feel her heart pounding on
her chest and she wondered if he could hear it. She felt her toes curl with a feeling she had
never experienced before.
Uche
had kissed several women in the past that he thought all women were the same.
Here he was being proved wrong in the hands of another woman. He had never
wanted a woman as much as he wanted her. He had never given this much to a woman
before. He had never felt like he couldn’t get close enough to a woman. He
wanted to go on kissing her. He wanted to have her in his hands forever. He
wished that it was possible to have her like this forever. Shocked at his thought,
he slowly released her; he could feel fear sip into his body. He didn’t want to
have that kind of feeling for a woman. He didn’t want to be emotionally
dependent on a woman again. He had to leave, he had to get away from her before
he made a promise he would never keep. He smiled at her and even smiled with an
arrogant male satisfaction when he saw that she was quite unsettled by his
kiss.
“Good
night” he said to as he pressed a button to unlock the car.
“Good
night” she replied and quietly left the car. He watched as she unlocked the
door and walked in. When the lights came on, he reversed and drove home. Half
happy and half sad he was well aware that no promise was made. She had wished
him good night but to him it was goodbye, what he wanted was an affair but in
his mind he knew that a woman like Nma meant deeper commitment. He was not
ready for that.
Nma
watched him drive away and she felt her heart sink because she realized that
she only wished him good night but he acted like he wished her good bye. She
sank to the nearest seat and had the greatest urge to cry.
