HIRED WIFE

” You are so beautiful Tess.. thank you so much for accepting me!” I said touching her cheeks lovingly

” You don’t need to thank me Ton… I accepted you because I felt the same way towards you!”

” I know but I am still thankful to you for considering me worthy of being accepted as your guy!”

” It’s okay Ton! Thank you too for considering me worthy to be your girl” Tessy answered shyly

” Can I kiss you?” I requested staring hungrily at her lips

Tessy blushed shyly as she fidgeted with her fingers and gradually nodded a ‘Yes’ to my request.

As soon as she gave me the nod, I clamped my lips on hers and together we kissed passionately without a care in the world

Our hands unconsciously began roaming everywhere on our bodies and before we could realize it, our upper wears were off and thrown to the floor

I was left shirtless with just my shorts on me, while Tessy was left with only her pink bra and trousers on her body.

We slowly fell on the bed with me on top of Tessy and Tessy beneath me.

We continued kissing and flipping over each other whilst smooching and romancing.

I soon took off her bra and was about sucking on her breasts when I abruptly stopped, knowing this wasn’t right in all ramifications!

First, I love Tessy and want her as my lawful wedded wife whom I can get to savor on our wedding night without any regrets or guilt whatsoever, if we continue with this I know that we will surely regret it after we get back to our senses.

Secondly, I know doing this with her on the first day of our relationship will only make her feel like I only came after her body which isn’t true at all.

Moreover I am still married to my wife, and doing this with Tessy before my separation with Sophie would only mean that I have broken my policy of never cheating on any woman.

As I evaluated everything and I came to a conclusion, I adjusted slowly from Tessy on the bed and began wearing my shirt that was lying on the floor

” What’s wrong? why did you stop?” Tessy asked looking at me, I guess she was taken unawares by the way I had abruptly stopped

” Tess please wear back your clothes, we can’t do this for now… we can control ourselves until our wedding night because if we allow our emotions control us now you might end up feeling used after the act… I won’t want us doing something we might regret afterwards!” I explained to Tessy touching her cheeks

Tessy heaved and nodded in understanding

” I understand Ton… you are right; we were moving too fast due to our emotions and would have eventually regretted it afterwards… thank you so much Ton for stopping us before we made that huge mistake” Tessy said as she took her bra and clothes from the floor and began re-wearing them right before me.

” I’m sorry I initiated the kiss which made us go that deep and also thanks for your understanding Tess!” I said and laid down on the bed waiting for Tessy to finish dressing up

” Thank you too” Tess replied and slowly laid on my chest

We laid in silence for a short while before I broke the silence

“I know I’m asking this late and that you’ve also told me before that you are single but I still need to be very sure… Are you in a relationship currently?”

” No Ton.. I am not in any relationship and haven’t been in any for two years now”

” Okay.. then who is my treasure whom you saved on your phone? and why do you keep taking that particular call in private when it rings and the name pops up” I asked curiously

” It’s because of the contract and Angie, that why I take the call in private to avoid lots of questioning… if not for Angie’s sake, I would not be hiding my daughter because she isn’t something to be ashamed of!” Tessy responded in a nonchalant manner

” What are you saying Tess? I’m seriously confused” I asked out of confusion

” I have a five year old daughter Ton and that is whom I saved as my treasure because that’s what she is to me!” Tessy confessed

To say that I am shocked by her confession is merely an understatement, I am stunned!

” I still don’t get it.. you have a daughter outside wedlock?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

” Yes I do Ton… She will be six years by next month”

” How did it happen? Mind sharing?”

Tessy heaved then slowly she began;

” Seven years ago I was in a relationship with a male friend Ben, whom I actually thought loved me whereas he was just using me to win a bet with his friends… he is my first boyfriend and the one who had deflowered me but after I took in, he denied the pregnancy and broke up with me” Tessy said with a shaky voice

” Oh my God! I’m so so sorry Tess… I didn’t know you were hurt this much” I said already moved by her story

” No Ton, don’t be sorry for me because I am no more hurting… my daughter is the best thing that has happened to me and no matter what happened in the past, I have never regretted having her even till today” Tessy said and I nodded because I perfectly understood that feeling, I do feel the same way with my daughter Angie.

” I know right.. children tend to change so many things about a person and are also capable of making people hurt less especially when we look at them and hear them call us ‘daddy’ and ‘mummy’!” Tessy said and I nodded in affirmation before saying

” You’re right… that’s the same way I feel whenever I look at my daughter Angie and hear her call me daddy”

” Yes, children are indeed blessings from God… that’s one of the reasons I love and immediately felt so endeared to Angie because I have a cute daughter like her as well”

” I understand.. so what’s your daughter’s name?” I asked smiling

” Her name is Chioma but I do call her Chiom.. she is cute just like me, her mother” Tessy said and we both bursted out laughing

” Yes of course, I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me that… A beauty will always beget beauty… I really do wish to meet her, where is she now?”

” She is with my mom at the other side of town… I do visit her at least twice a week and every weekend to bond with my daughter. I miss her so much” Tessy confessed and I knew she meant it
