Are you tired?

Amanda was no longer feeling as tired as she was feeling earlier while talking with Mr Stone, she was happy he had left even though she had really enjoyed his company she was craving for another person's company.

"Are you tired? He finally asked, even though,

That was not the first thing she wanted him to say to her, how could she be tired when he was with her, he was just trying to be nice, that was so him, but she wasn't tired.

"No I am not, not when you are here" she answered truthfully, he already knows the answer, she didn't need to try and pretend.

"Did you enjoy your lecture with my Dad? He asked, being really official with her, which she didn't like very much, though she knows he would change soon, because she wants him close to her.

"Well he is quite something, he does know how to hold a conversation, but you interrupted us and he had to stop" she rolled her eyes, and acted like she was angry it stopped, he was almost confused at the tone of her voice.

Goodluck didn't know if she was blaming him for saving her, knowing his father, he would never leave her to go to bed until he had explained to finish, she could even doze off while he was still explaining.

"I think what you meant to say was thank you" She looked up at him, and tried to bite her lips, inorder to prevent herself from. Laughing, but it was not working, she started laughing

She laughed because he seemed to read her mind, she was indeed grateful that he showed up when he did, else he would have begged Mr Stone to let her go to bed, just that she still didn't know where her room was, though she didn't mind spending the night in the garden, it was open and transparent, she felt she could relieve herself from the troubles of the world if she slept in an open space.

"He isn't that bad, I really enjoyed talking with him, he loves you so much and he wanted to know how I feel about you"

She said and looked at him, he also looked at her expecting her to go on because he really wanted to know what she told his father.

But instead of her to say what she said, she just smiled at his curious face and stretched her arms .

"Are you tired?

Here comes the question again, she wasn't tired she was just tired of the topic, she wanted to discuss something else, she wanted to tell him everything that had happened back at the house and how Dave had asked her to leave and go to him, How she had earlier met them having sex and the view had irritated her.

She looked at him angrily for asking her that question again when he could clearly see that her evening had just started.

She didn't answer him instead she started talking about what happened back at Lagos before she decided to come here.

"Dave wants me out of his life, he said I should go and never coma back"

Goodluck wasn't interested in what he had said, he was just happy she wasn't in that house, but he couldn't tell her instead he pulled her close to himself and stroke her hair.

"I am so sorry, I am sure you must have felt so alone, I should be er have left you". He tried to explain, but then came her voice.

"I am not sorry"

She said as she looked up at him. Goodluck had been in this position before and he knew what happened afterwards, he didn't want it to happen there because he might not be able to control himself, so he looked away.

"I am glad he asked me to go, just that I wish I have my answers before leaving him, that would have meant everything to me". She said, as she hugged him even closer. He hurt me with what u saw him doing with her at the house, they could not even give me a last minute respect.

"I will find out the truth, and Dave will also find the truth, when it happens, he will be the one sorry, though I am sure, that by then, I will not be available.

Goodluck could feel her pain, he hated not having answers, he wish he could give her answers already, so he assures her with words Instead.

"Don't worry as soon as we leave here, I will resume my investigation. Soon you will have all your answers"

"But I am happy, I am happy I am here with you, I couldn't ask for more, he wasn't worth it. Do you know I called him to tell him I was coming home and all he could do was hiss? I got to the house and I found them making out in the kitchen, as if that was not enough he blames me for everything, he thinks I planned to get pregnant just because you came into the picture". She kept saying she doesn't care about Dave, but the way she kept talking about what happened, shows that he was hurt.

Though he is sure, she loves him, she also feels something strong for Dave, and that worries him.

Could he ever really have Amanda as his own? He decided to distract himself with the beauty he was seeing.

"You are beautiful". He told her, as he bent down and kissed her crown.

Looking at her, Goodluck wasn't paying attention anymore, she looked so beautiful in the open sky, the color of her eye reflected in the dim night, he sat up and held her hand to pull her down, so she could sit in his laps, he hugged her from the back.

"Everything will be fine soon". He told her, and she got up, she could not explain what she was feeling, he got up almost immediately to meet her, thinking he had done something wrong.

They both stood facing each other, he hoped he had not offended her, so he tried to read her, but her looks were that of strong need of him, so he held her close and hugged her, by the time she looked up at him she couldn't hold herself anymore, she tiptoed to reach his lips, he bent down to help her reach him faster and their lips were locked in a lasting, wet kiss.
