PHIL

“How's your mum taking this whole thing?”

Tabby asks as we drive to our favourite restaurant.

I sigh as I accelerate. God knows I'm trying not to tell my mother off.

“Just like before. She doesn't want me to marry you but I can't stop reminding her that you're the one I'm marrying, not your entire family.”

“It must be hard...”

“What?”

“Falling in love with someone from a messed up family. I mean, your mother doesn't like me like before, my parents don't even care who I date provided to get myself a husband, my siblings are all useless...”

“Shhhh! I hold my index finger over her lips. “Don't ever say such a thing again. I love you and that's what matters. Let's focus on ourselves and stop worrying about the rest!”

She nods in the affirmative.

“What would I have ever done without you Phil.” she laments. “I really really love you.”

“I love you too honey... You're my world, my everything.”

She smiles as she locks her lips thoughtfully. I'm sure she isn't done with the conversation.

“Honey... ”

She calls as I park at the vast parking lot of the magnificent restaurant and I nod as a sign that I'm listening.

“Did your mother explain to you the sudden change in her attitude towards me? Does she know my parents from before?”

“She wouldn't tell me anything. She simply shrugged my questions off and ignored me. I don't know why she changed but one thing is for sure... I'm not trading our love for anything. We've been through alot together and this storm won't make me start loving you lesser than before. I love you Tabby and it's you I want to spend the rest of my life with!”

“Ahhhw!” She exclaims. “Come here.” And she secures my neck, pulling me closer to her then gives me a breathtaking kiss.

Minutes later, we're breathless as we both climb down the car. After locking the doors, I take her hand into mine and we walk hand in hand towards the restaurant. Oh God! I really love this girl.

Once inside, a supervisor leads us to our reserved table for two and I sit down after pulling the seat for Tabby. She smiles and thanks me... She has this contagious smile that makes me want her in my arms every time she smiles...

My mind drifts back to the first day we made love in my house three years ago.

We had just finished taking our lunch in the school cafeteria and I informed her that I had no lectures that afternoon. She too confirmed that she was free and she wanted to visit the library for some revision but she offered to drop me home if I had nothing to do at school, something which I immediately obliged to.

The drive to the house wasn't long so as usual, she parked the car and escorted me inside, clinging onto my shoulder.

Mum wasn't yet home therefore I offered her some orange juice as I took some energy drink.

I remember her asking me if we had alcohol in the house and I remembered that mum had some in her bedroom. They time, I hadn't started taking alcohol but I had friends who did.

I rushed to mum's bedroom and came out with her bottle of Brandy. I poured some in a glass for her and put the bottle away. She insisted that I had to taste but I vehemently refused. She took a sip of the neat brown poison and creased her brows as she swallows it. Oh God! This one must be one hell of a poisonous substance! I said to myself.

“Taste baby. It's so smooth!”

She insisted as she gulped down another sip.

“Smooth? How? I've never heard of smooth liquor.” I expressed my concern.

“Here..” she said as she brought the glass to my lips. “sip and taste how smooth it is!”

And I sipped, then immediately after spit all the liquid back into the glass.

“Yeeew! This is real poison!”

I said, furrowing my brows.

“No it's not!”

She had already poured my spit in the sink and rinsed the glass.

But one thing was for sure...I could still feel the crispy taste in my mouth. Well, the after taste was somehow likeable.

She refilled the glass and handed it back to me.

“And don't spoil my gold!”

She warned me as I took a big swing. Ahhw. And I gulped down the full glass of the Brandy.

And boy! Didn't it feel great. We ended up gulping down the whole bottle of Brandy. To hell with whatever mum would say.

“I feel sleepy babe. Can I lie on your bed?”

Tabby requested though she was already on her feet, staggering towards my bedroom.

I followed suit without replying and found her already slumped on my bed after getting rid of her shoes.

Library temporarily forgotten, I too slumped on the bed and got rid of my shoes, my shirt, my pair of trousers and my briefs. My main man was standing at attention, ready for action. The laughter she let out was out of this world. I remember how she took my joystick into her mouth and sucked it like a lollipop. She couldn't stop till I threatened to nut into her mouth! She really laughed as she sat up and got rid of her clothes. And just like that, we devoured each other mercilessly in our drunken state. I swear I don't know what triggered that horniness but one thing I couldn't forget was protection.

After three rounds, we lay down on the bed naked and exhausted to the core, with a piece of rubber hanging onto my joystick.

Whenever we both remember that day, we end up laughing like maniacs...like possessed people!

***

Our food is served within no time and we take it as we sip onto some juice.

After we're done with the delicious meal, we order for a bottle of wine so as to sip into the night, garnished with stories and kissing... Stories about how our future together will be.

Tomorrow is a Saturday and none of us will be working.

Since my mom doesn't want to see Tabby in her house, we can as well check ourselves into a hotel room for the whole weekend... Wow! That ain't a bad idea at all!

***

It's already day time when we finally wake up.

We had a lot to drink last night and after we were done, we secured a room in the same restaurant and went to lie down.

After a session of heated love making, we slept like babies... like we had no cares in the whole world.

I sit up and turn to face the softly snoring Tabby. She's breathing softly and she looks angelic in her sleep...so peaceful.

My bowel is pressing me and I climb down the bed, walking towards the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, I do my thing then flash the toilet. I walk back to the bed after washing my face only to find an already woken up Tabby.

She's stretching and yawning.

“Good morning love.”

She smiles amid yawns.

“Morning sunshine. How was your night?”

“Great.”

And she climbs down then walks to the bathroom.

When she gets back, she has also washed up her face and she asks me when we will go to the restaurant for breakfast.

I smirk and assure her that we're going as soon as we freshen up and dress up.

“I think we don't need to sleep here tonight.”

I tell her. “We are checking out.”

“Why? It's a Saturday morning and we were supposed to be here for the weekend?”

“I've contacted a housing agent and after breakfast, we're going to see a house in another estate and if you like it, we shall pack out of our parents houses or better still, make it our weekend get away place.”

“Wow! That sounds nice. That's why I love you! We can as well elope and live there forever!” She grins as he hugs me, our lips meeting in a frenzy kiss. “I doubt if your mother will ever acknowledge me as her daughter in law.” And get facial expression changes.

“Don't be sad love. We'll find a way around it.” I assure her. “Let's go to the bathroom, take a bath then get out of here!”

I say, pulling her towards the bathroom. We don't have clothes or pyjamas to get rid of because we slept naked!

Once in the bathroom, one thing leads to the other and I find myself bending her over, making crazy love to her. We can't just get enough of each other!
