MY HEART DESIRE – Episode 3

Life was not fair at all, Dan thought. He wondered why the situation would not allow him to be with one he loved, the one his heart beat for and the only woman capable of making him sane. He had wishes to make Lucy his legally for too long, to wake up to her pretty and sweet smile every morning. “Was that too much to ask?” he wondered loudly. He ran his fingers on his ragged hair that was unkempt as it was obvious he was not at his right state of mind. Lucy had called him an hour ago and he could not help but notice a slight nervousness on her usual soft voice, or was he being unnecessarily paranoid. Why would he not be? everything was going south and he was not finding it funny. As the minutes passed so was his heartbeat and nervousness, he had this unusual feeling that something was not right somewhere but whatever it was he didn’t have the slightest idea.

His face went completely expressionless as he remembered what had been happening between him and his benefactor, Sarah. She was in her late thirties, a widower who had one child. She was the woman who had turned her from grass to grace, according to her story she picked him from the streets and turned him to the fine young man that he was. He always felt indebted to her in many ways but he could not help but feel he was living a lie, he had this empty feeling that he was not complete and the only person that had brought meaning to his life was the love of his life, Lucy. He was determined to fight for her, for their love but there was this feeling again that he was fighting an unseen enemy. A tingling sensation that there was something wrong somewhere but this time his instincts were not clear on whatever they were warning him of.

At the back of his mind was how his benefactor had started being his worst nightmare. He had never heard it from the horse’s mouth but he knew there was more to her provocative dressing lately, she had started doing things that spoke loudly than words, and this made him uncomfortable. He took Sarah as her mom and he respected and treated her as one.

“A penny for your thoughts,” the soft voice of Lucy startled him and brought him back to reality. He raised his face and his eyes met with the peering and questioning eyes of Lucy, he could feel her eyes all over his body and he developed goosebumbs. He played with his fingers anxiously and nervously as he could predict her next question. She smiled sweetly sensing that she was making him uncomfortable. “It okay, you can always talk to me about it, ” she made a puppy face at him and pouted her lips and she could swear she noticed a fierce blush creep on his embarassed handsome face. “That’s my queen,” Dan sighed sweetly as they stared deeply at each others eyes, they stood like that for a few minutes as the looked on with pure love and adoration. Their lips locked in a fierce kiss and Dan tasted mint on her lips, she tasted great and it was with great effort and self control it took for him not to devour her. They stopped for seconds to catch their breadth and seconds later laughter and screams of joy  followed as they chased each other in the sitting room happily. They abandoned their individual thoughts and problems temporarily and were lost in the arms of the other as they cuddled. Lucy could not help but swear to fight for this man that was so vulnerable to her, she was unknowingly angering her spiritual husband but that was a fight for another day.

She was possessive, enraged, bitter and overjealous , she could not hold back her anger as she slammed open the door to her expensively furnished sitting room. She ran as if she was stepping on hot coals and threw herself heavily on the sofa. She let out hot air from her mouth and groaned loudly when she recalled the sight she had met at Dan’s place a few minutes ago. She had trashed the expensive flowers and perfumes she had bought for him on her way as she had planned to surprise him and ask him to dinner. The two lovebirds were too deep into cuddling and romancing each other that they had not noticed her opening and closing back of the damn door. She had made a face of disgust as she stared with contempt Lucy kissing Dan and Dan returning back the kiss with equal zeal and love. She wanted to be in Lucy’s place because she felt entitled to Dan’s love. ” I swear Lucy will regret the day he met Dan!” Sarah roared and made a mental note to take whatever she termed as hers no matter what she could have to do. Trouble for Lucy was brewing from all sides unknown to her, poor Lucy.
