Chapter 80: CHAPTER 76

"What the hell are you doing?" She shouted trying to pull away from her , on realizing what they were doing.

" Hugging you" He replied.

"You shouldn't do that" She said looking everywhere but at him.

" Why?" He said raising up her face to look at him, " And FYI, you hugged me first" He reprimanded her.

"You should have stopped me and you are the man here"She told him, "People are starring And will talk"She said.

"And you should have not hugged me, you are the woman here. You were tempting me" He accused,  "Let them talk"He said moving his face towards her

"Denny"She exclaimed to how close their face where,

"Okay ,my temptress. Is this better?" He asked moving closer to her.

"No!" She exclaimed, trying to push him away.

"Look at me babe" He said holding her hands , which she was trying to use to push him away hostage and lifting up her cheeks and looking into her brown , big beautiful eyes.

"Dennis" She said as she looked away, not knowing what to do.

"They will be jealous to be me" He said , trying to comfort her.

" Why is that?" She said finally raising her head and looked at him directly in the eyes on her own free will

" Because of this" He said to her.

"What ?" She asked as he silence her with a deep soul felt and searching deep kiss, before releasing her

" Do you like it" He asked.

" Can I be excused?" She asked , so politely that he knew something was wrong.

" Why" He asked shocked and surprised at her reaction, which wasn't the one he was expecting.

" Because" she replied with a vague answer, trying to push him away and to free herself from his tight grips

" Okay, okay calm down babe. We will talk about this when you come back, right?" He asked trying to get the assurance, that she isn't going to flip because of what he did, without thinking. But it wasn't his fault, he was so in love with her , and she was in love  with him too. Even  if most times she behaved other wise. Maybe their outing, in order to get to know each other before their marriage was the wrong move after all. But how are they going to know about each other and be comfortable around themselves.

" Okay" She agreed just to be free

" Hope you are saying the truth" He asked unsure

" I am" She replied, finally accepted that they must discuss what just happened and she can't always avoid these things or  discussion whenever it arises. And to prevent such occurrence, they have to iron it out. And she does understand, that to sexual things , women are more in control of themselves, not that men are weak. But women are more able to control their attraction. Once again they both thank God in their minds, that their meetings were in public and not in private( alone with each other).

"Okay, I will be here when you come back" He reassured her.

" Okay, can you release me now, already" She pleaded.

" Here you go. I will be waiting out here, until you come back, kay" He said, reminding her that he would be here waiting for her. So that she wouldn't pull a fast one on him. Although he knew she wouldn't. But that does not mean , he shouldn't remind her of his presence and wiliness to iron things out with her and settle their difference, that 's what couples do and that 's what both of them are going to do, when they finally get married, and he will  make sure of it. As she walks away, and hoping in his heart that she would come back and not decide to go back home from the restroom, without telling him. He really hopes and pray , that she wouldn't do that, there by proving him wrong. He might have not know her for long, but the few months he has known her, he knew she was not like that and wouldn't do such a thing, just to avoid confrontation. That's why she asked to be excused, in order to calm down. And he prayed she comes back, for them to discuss this , resolve this matter and for him to apologize. And he knew he would love her no matter what, even if she takes the easier way out, by avoiding this discussion and if she couldn't handle talking about it today.

That was her second kiss and he was just stealing her kisses without asking her first, she thought as she walked towards the women restroom.

" Are you feeling better now?" He asked as she came back after washing her face and giving herself a pep talk while looking at the rest room mirror and promising to give him the talk again

" Yeah, I am" She agreed.

" So we are good?" He asked

" Not quite sure" She answered.

" Why is that, and Can you brief me on that and why ?" He requested gently.

"Is this going to be regular thing?" She asked.

" What are you referring to if I may ask?" He asked

" This, you stealing kisses from me" She replied.

" Come on,  I didn't steal anything" He argued defensively.

" You did" She

"But we are together" He argued.

" And so , does that give you the right to take liberties with me, where you shouldn't?" She asked , shocked at his argument.

" It is not talking liberties if we are together" He insisted, " Like I said before, but you just don't listen to anything I say" He added.

" It  is " She shouted rudely

" Watch  your tone" He rebuked her," On how you talk to me. I don't like it, especially your tone. Just because I am in love with you, does not give you the right to speak to me like that" He warned angrily

" And it doesn't also give you the right take liberties with me" She said with a low voice.

" Then explain to me" He said impatiently.

" I told you I was waiting for marriage" She explains to him a again

" But that's sex, not kissing. Or is it among it too?" He asked surprised.

" Yes, it is" She admited.

" It is just a kiss" He complained

" But it can lead to sex" She argued.

"Can you hear yourself talk, just like a kid." He said," Grow up babe, I am a grow man and I can control myself. Especially in public, just look around ; there are people every where" He told her, " What did you think I was going to do?" He asked sarcastically.

" I am a grown woman too" She insisted too, "Nothing"She answered, unsure.

" Are you sure?, because you don't speak or talk like one" He told her,"Age is just a number dear" He told her," And  It is  like you have a dirty mind" He accused her

" It is not" She argued, " And I do not have a dirty mind, you are the one with that kind of mind" She accused back.

" it is and it doesn't show your maturity and this says it all" He replied , annoyed, "Don't turn the table, your kind of mind is on you, and not me" He added.

" Thanks Mr . mature , I think I will live" She told him, offended.

"Yeah live, that's so mature of you, always wanting to live when the going gets tough" He taunted her, not knowing how to resolve this issue, he was planning on apologizing before and she was willing to resolve this matter like an adult, but both of them allowed their emotions take control of them

" I do not ,do that" She argued.

" But you do and that's what you are doing now. Your actions us enough proof" He stated.

"I just need space to think, we both do. All we do is argue" She clarified, because both of them actually needed space to think. And if he wasn't going to suggest it, she would. For both of their sake and for their future relationship, that's if it's still a possibility.

" You Are just being prudish with me, when we just had our first ever Deep kiss" He accused her, not because he meant it and but he wanted her to stay and fight, especially right for both of them happening. He couldn't let her go home angry and annoyed with him. This could become their last contact if that happens, he should know. He has seen  and read about it, although she was a little prudish yo him. Always wanting to abide by the rules to the last one, while he was a divergent, true and true. Although he does respect the rules and it's institutions. And Apostle Paul did say we should obey Authorities, but that doesn't mean we should obey those that are against our believes.

" Are you calling me a prude for not liking your advances" She asked sarcastically, surprised at his comment, even with what he did.

" Yes, you are being prudish and behaving like a child" He insisted, " And even if it was a little bit offensive of me, I'm trying to apologize here" He added

" I can't handle this . You committed a grieve offense and crime, and now I am the prudish one" She told him, " If this how you apologize, I don't think I want or need,  or I'm going to accept your apology, I'm sorry I can't accept this kind of apology" Sh added defeated.

" Yes you are and when is love a crime?" He asked sarcastically, " Oh come on" He pleaded.

" Now, when you take liberties without asking" She replied, " Until you apologize properly and mean it from your heart, my answer is no" He added.

" Are we are  not in a relationship?" He asked.

" Technically not  and that makes you a pervert" She accused him.

" For your information I am not and will never be a pervert or act perverted. Especially with a woman I intend to marry" He he told her.

" Yes a woman you intend to marry, not a woman you are already married to" She said to him.

" And very soon, I will unintend to marry her, if you don't explain or give a name to our relationship" He told her.

" Are you threatening to break up with me" She asked shocked.

" It is not breaking up. If , according to you , we are not in a relationship. And when I asked, have you ever told me yes?" He asked.

" Yes , obviously" She answered very sure

" When?" He asked

" If I didn't agreed or say yes. Why did I agreed to this courtship" She asked.

" It is called dating. Dating is when you get to know someone, it isn't suppose to involve sex" He clarified, " And next time you agree, it better be on paper and that will be soon, before you change for mind. With that as evidence you can't change your mind again, when ever you want. By then you will be stalk with me, but in a good way and I promise you , that you would enjoy it and not bare it , in every way possible" He added.

" What ever you call it, and we shouldn't be kissing too" She said, " Okay , if you say so" She agreed.

" So please woman explain this thing between us?" He asked defeated.

" It is a kind of courtship before marriage

" Is marriage the only reason you are with me?" He asked

" No, we are friends too" She told him.

" I don't want to be friends with you"He argued.

" Why not, am I not likeable enough for you or friendly enough?" She asked, " If this is not ending in marriage , what is it for. Why waste our time?. And being in any relationship is not for fun or because of loneliness. it is a serious matter" She told him.

"I am not here for fun. And I am not with you because of loneliness. That will be inhuman of me" He said to her, " And It's not that and FyI you are not friendly" He added

" If I am not friendly, why are you friends with me, or even associating with me?" She asked shocked.

. " We aren't friends and I don't want to friends with you, like you always want" He answered.

" So what are we?" She asked, still shocked.

" Lovers" He asked, " And I am the one asking the questions here , don't turn the table.around" He added.

" Why is that?, we aren't even married yet" She said.

"Yes we are not lovers yet, but till we get married. But I just want to remind you, I am not here to be friend" He  told her, with finality.

" But friends do catch feelings sometimes" She argued.

" They don't, so we are not just friends but in love with each , do I get myself clear. We are in love or we are nothing" He clarified.

" Okay, sorry" She apologized to him, " And I am sorry for calling you a pervert" She added, very sorry.

" Okay, I'm sorry for shouting at you" He apologized, " Okay, but never call me that again" He accepted.

" It's okay" She accepted his apology, " Thanks, I'm grateful" He added.

" I don't just want anyone man else around you, so sometimes I want to mark my territory, so that no man will trespass on my territory" He explained, " And you are welcome" He added.

" I'm not a piece of land or your property " She told him, defensively.

" You aren't a land ,or  an inheritance, but one from God and I want you to be mine and mine alone" He said

" Me too" She agreed

" You too what?" He asked not sure he heard her well, because he was surprised that she didn't continue to argue about this, she just accepted it the way he wanted it and said it. This is some of the time that  he believed that his accusations of her Immaturity

wasn't true, but just accusations. Chelsea could be mature when she wants to and the situation calls for it. And he likes her , because she never uses her knowledge to feel superior or make others look small.

" I want you to be mine and mine alone. But don't take liberties like that again without my permission" She warns.

" So you will allow me to kiss you?" He asked shocked and excited.

" No!"she shouted, bursting his happy bubbles.

" What about ones in a while?" He asked, to see if he can push his luck.

" Don't push it" She gave him the finger.

" But it was worth the try" He told her, with a happy grin, that finally they have resolved their issue. That's what they like about each other, they always find a way to resolve any issue between them, no matter what it was and how it was "You are no fun , kill joy and so unromantic" He murmured playfully.

"Don't worry when we get married, you get all the liberties you want and I too get the ones I want, right?" She asked.

" Yes, you do. And I can't wait" He replied, excitedly.

" Me too" She agreed, eagerly.

" But you still love me, right?" She asked needing a little assurance.

" Yeah, what the hell , yeah I still do which is funny" He replied happily.

" Me too" She agreed.

" Can I get a hug?" He asked, unsure that after what he did , she would still agree to hug him. But he really needed the hug. He was so sacred that she was going to live him for good, just now. Forget about the way he was arguing with her , not long ago. But this issue,   sacred the living hell out of him. When a woman says she needs space, she might never come back to you. And if she does come back, that means she has forgiven you and you are very lucky. A woman does not ask for space if they do, that means that they  are already fed up with your tactics. And you should thank your lucky star , if they return, but next time you might not be too lucky or maybe by then , you would have ran out of luck.

" Yeah" She said as she hugs him

" I thought you said you wouldn't huge me  and since people are here, you are ashamed to hug me" He said With a smirk.

" Do you want the hug or not?" She asked, raising her head and looking at him straight in his black beautiful eyes.

" Of course I do" He replied.

" Then  You better stop complaining, before the offer expires" She warns playfully.

" You wouldn't dare" He said

" Try me" She answered with her own grin this time

" Okay, Okay I will take it, before you take back your offer" He said , hugging her.

" Better?" She asked with her face on his shoulders.

" Yes, much better" He said breathing in her scent.

" Yes, better" She agreed.
