I was surprised she kept singing all that without any mistake. I seemed she did enjoy it very much and that had quickened her to sing it the more. I then came out of her but she insisted she wanted more and I was stressed out. I tried pleading but she wouldn’t listen to anything. I was confused as to how to make her understand that I needed sometime to relax.
I wondered how some guys could engage in this act for the whole week. Without you having much energy you can’t do it. Still with my palms together pleading, I felt it was my fault since I wanted more and now I can’t handle it. Ann then stared at me for sometime and all she could say was that “”You ain’t a man”” I felt very bad when I heard that but I didn’t want to react since I already knew how she was.
She then left to washroom to take a shower.I then wore my dress and arranged my stuffs in my room. After some minutes she came back from the washroom still naked but I immediately closed my eyes to avoid any temptation whatsoever. I needed more I thought but this is over my nerves. I took my phone and left to the hall for her to dress up so I could escort her. I switched on my data n went on WhatsApp but I realized there was a particular chat with series of messages.
I opened the chat and it was Annie. She wanted to relocate to a place she didn’t let me know. I began wondering where exactly she wanted to go. I then texted her trying to explain things to her but she just gave me blue ticks without reply. I really felt hurt as I deeply loved Annie with all my heart and I cared less if I got hurt because of her. Ann came to the hall after dressing up and I requested to escort her.
She then held me up and kissed me, something I didn’t expect after what happened. I then remembered what Annie sent and pulled back from the act. Ann then held my hands and we left afterwards. It was when I returned that I began to reflect on what my life is going to be if I don’t take a decision. I thought about my future and realized it would be imperative if I chooses one to focus on. I then sent Annie a message telling her I’m ready to be with her for the rest of life and that she should have no perception of me faking my love for her. I told her no matter what had happened she should know that I do love her and I’m ready to go through the worse to have a future with her. I then received a signal after that which supposedly meant she had received the message.
I then prayed earnestly in my heart to get a reply from Annie and God who answers prayers made her reply me saying “ she also wanted to be with and no one else, but she ain’t convinced if I’m going to faithful or not. She did express her deepest love for and I was deeply happy. I then tried calling her and she immediately answered. We chatted for a while until she told me she was out of Accra due to what happened and probably will be there for a month.
I was hurt on hearing that but I had no objection to it since she had already left. “Don’t worry about me please I would be a good girl “ she finally said and requested I make a promise not to break her heart. I then told her” Annie, I promise “ we both smiled on the call after that and she later hanged up.
Annie was one different girl who respected her dignity and felt everyone should be fairly treated no matter what. She was very principled especially with things which involves love issues due to what she went through before. She always wanted the best and any bad thing left her either sad or thinking. However, reflecting on this I vowed not to hurt her again no matter what.
Days flewed into weeks and months and our results were released. Annie called me one early morning and announced how joyful she was about her result. She had credibly passed and also been admitted to one of the universities but would flying out of the country to further her education since her parents requested to.. I was very elated at the news since I also got admitted but would be furthering in the country.
I had no choice but to accept it since it was her parents descion and it would help her future. It was a moment of mixed feelings since I would be missing her as well and its going to be very long and intense. We encouraged ourselves and made promises to wait for each other till its time to be together. We talked about other things and finally requested Annie to visit since it would be a week before her travel.
Ann on the hand I learnt was into modelling and had no intention of going back to school as such would be staying over while Annie is gone. I felt awkward at the thought of the change in events. I just can’t stop Ann from coming if Annie is gone since I will miss her dearly and in a case use her as my change in commodity to satisfy my lost, I therefore imagined.
The day for Annie to visit finally arrived and I prepared very well since I hadn’t seen her in months. I watched the romance again this time into extreme. I laid my bed very well and switched off my phone to avoid any problem this time.

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 romantic 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 lips. 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 kissed 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 kissing 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 hard 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 manhood to be tired of dancing “one corner” I thought.
