Benita’s Point of View.
I drank some water to clear my already damaged throat and that’s when Jessica spoke up,
“So where are you going to stay? What are you doing now?”
“I still have a house under my name, not your mother’s but my own and I plan on looking for a job at a company”
“Okay, you can stay in mum’s house, it’s yours anyway, she gave it to you, about the job, I heard Xavier’s company had an opening, you should go there and apply”
“Who? Me? No way, that company is hard to get employed into, I wouldn’t make it to the top hundred anyway so nope, thank you ”
“No way, whatever happened you are my aunt and even though we had bad blood between us, it wasn’t your fault it happened and I won’t let you suffer more, I will talk to Xavier, you can go there anytime within the week and you can stay here till you want to leave”
“Okay, thank you a lot for your forgiveness and consideration, I really appreciate but before I start a fresh, there is somewhere I must go”
“Okay, then I will go back to my room, call the maids if you need anything, I am glad I was wrong about you, am happy to have a member of my family still here and alive, thank you for surviving ”
“No I should be thanking you dear, thank you for surviving and being an angel to me regardless of everything ”
She smiled at me then stood up and left , I sink back into the sofa, it felt as if all the weight on my shoulders were lifted off, It was as if I could breath a new type of air into my lungs, all my burdens and therapy sessions seemed to be working now, a sob broke through me but this one isn’t of sorrow or sadness but of redemption and freedom…..
Jessica’s POV
The whole story my aunt told me made a lot of sense, I don’t know how druggies behave or act but if what I watched in the movies were true then my aunt really really suffered, not only betrayed by her spouse but lost her child, niece, assets and sanity.
DRUGS RUINS A PERSON, I went into our room and closed the door, Xavier was there, our eyes met, I don’t know what he saw on my face but he spread his hands for me to come into, I didn’t waste a time, I ran into his into his embrace, it was warm and smelled of sandalwood which I find quite addictive.
“Did your talk go well?”
“Yes, it did and am glad I listened to you because I would have regretted it had I found out much later”
“Am glad you are okay, how are feeling Jessi?”
“I feel light”
“That’s good right?? Because I know people who feel light feel good or am I wrong?”
“Hahahahhahaah, you are absolutely right, yes I feel light and good”
We stared at each other silently without saying anything, then before you could say jack, our lips met in a heated kiss, our tongue fought for dominance and his won, his hands crept under my shirt caressing my naked back and navel, it sends chills, a good one down my toes, my tummy fluttered with butterflies and warmth, I felt like I was melting into his touch, everywhere his hands touched felt so hot it because hard to breath.
I held unto his neck for dear life because I know if I leave it I will become a crumbling mess on the bed and that’s not my idea of making out, he trailed kisses from my mouth to my neck suckling on the sensitive flesh, he nibbled on it making me moan out in pure bliss, I enjoyed his touches so damn much.
He stopped when we still have our rationality with us but I could feel his hardened part beneath my butts and the aching feeling between my legs,
“Jessi, we should stop now”
“Yes, we should ”
We said to each other but the reluctance in our eyes and the hand cupping my boobs says it all, we started another searing kiss, this time around it was frantic and urgent and when he pushed me down the bed and started grinding on me he stopped,
“Fuck!!”
I lay there flushed and in desperate need to ease whatever feeling in between my legs as Xavier went into the bathroom and soon the sound of the shower was heard, I straightened myself and lay down well and soon I was off to sleep.
Benita’s POV
It has been a week since I started staying at Jessica’s place and the way the treated her made me happy, the girl deserves it after all she went through, after breakfast, I showered, went to a beauty salon and got myself looking so good, I am in my late thirty but due to our slender body and small face I looked like I was starting my early thirty.
I drove my car to the place I was going to, I packed and after going through the necessary procedures I was allowed to go into the prison visiting room.
There were other people there too to see their loved ones or clients for lawyers but not me, he is neither my client nor loved one, the small gate like door in front of me opened and he strutted in, he looked worse off, his stubble showing and his blue eyes that I loved dull, his eyes widened when they saw me, I didn’t show any emotions on my face.
“Baby, you are here to see me”
“……”
“Am really sorry for what I did, please forgive me angel and get me out of here”
“You must be a fool to think that, after all you did to me, my niece and my child, your child, you think I would do that”
“It’s all in the past, we can make another one angel okay, huh”
“Well, I came to know how you were doing, to know if you are suffering and I can say that am greatly disappointed, but no problem, you still have many years ahead of you ”
“Get me the fuck out here you goddamn bitch, get me out of here!”
“Am leaving, oh, and before I forget, I threw your mother’s ash away because it occupying my house, goodbye and have a nice….. prison life”
“You fucking bitch! You dare not!! You bitch, am going to deal with you!!! Let me go, you bitchhh!!!!”
I laughed all the whole home, that was so good.
