"Mima, I really really like you. No, scratch that! I'm totally in love with you."

Jemima couldn't reply immediately because of the whole burst of emotions she was experiencing at that moment. The alcohol was beginning to sink deeply into her system. She could feel it.

"Sidney, I don't think we should do this. I mean, it's been seven years since we last saw each other and you know, a lot of things have changed...." Jemima ranted on and on, oblivious of the fact that the way her lips moved in sync only stirred the burning desire he had always had for her, up. He wasn't listening. His eyes glued solely on her lips. He slowly reached for her jaw and cupped it gently. This action of his managed to keep her quiet. She stared back at him, surprised at the strong message of lust his eyes held.

"Damn it!" He cursed, crashing his lips into hers, as he couldn't hold back anymore. He kissed her with urgency, with need, pouring out all his pent up emotions into the kiss.

Well, she didn't kiss back. Everything was happening so fast and her brain was against it. Sidney, noticing it, smiled against her lips, still taking his time to kiss her. He suddenly bit her lower lip slightly. She gasped in surprise. He used that opportunity to deepen the kiss, exploring every inch of her mouth with his tongue. Her heart finally won over her brain and she kissed him back. The intensity of the kiss was breathtaking and it left them gasping for air afterward.

"Mima, let's leave here." Sidney pleaded, taking her little hand in his. She wanted to object but she couldn't. Her heart wouldn't let her. They drove off to Sidney's house, a five bedroom duplex located in Maitama.

"Wow!" She exclaimed, marveled at the uniqueness and beauty of the house. It was of no doubt a perfectly planned house.

"Welcome to our humble abode." Sidney smiled ushering her into the well furnished sitting room. She couldn't help but smile at the way he said 'our humble abode.'

"Humble, really?" She raised a quizzical eyebrow at him. He only laughed at her expression.

"Come, let me show you around." And he did just that, showing her every single corner of the house which she completely loved.

After dinner, they retired to his room and prepped themselves for the night's sleep.

"Mima, I would totally love it if you give me, us another chance." Sidney said, stroking her hair lovingly as they cuddled up in his bed. Not waiting for her reply he continued.

"I just couldn't forget about you. I was determined to do better so that I could come back for you. I wanted to impress you and get to a point where I could take care of you whenever I get to meet you again. Mima, you are my happiness, the only woman that has succeeded in capturing my faint heart. It has always been you and I will do anything just to be with you.... even if it means kidnapping your stubborn ass..."

This earned him a giggle from Jemima. He sat up and motioned for her to come sit on his lap. But to his surprise and excitement, she straddled him.

"I want you, Mima. Just you. Only you. And I want us to start again, and this time, until forever...."

She initiated it this time around. She leaned in slowly and captured his lips in hers. She could feel his hard on almost immediately. She smiled at the evidence that she still had a great effect on him.

Sidney couldn't control himself either. He kissed her back with urgency as her hands travelled down his well sculpted biceps. Reaching behind for her bottoms, he grabbed the pair with urgency ripping a moan from her mouth. He started trailing kisses down her neck, leaving love bites at strategic places. He tugged below her abdomen, pulling off the maxi shirt which he had given her to wear. She was now stark naked before him, leaving the piece of white lacy panties and his pyjamas trouser the only barrier between their craving bodies.

He narrowed his eyes, taking in every inch of her body. He wanted to worship her, no doubt. But her shy self quickly used her hands to cover her perky D-cup bosoms.

"Mima, stop! Look, you're so beautiful. Just allow me worship you, baby." He assured her, taking her hands from her breasts as he stared deeply into her eyes and resting them on both sides of his jaw. She only stared at his eyes, allowing herself to get lost in them. She leaned in and kissed him very slowly, pouring all her feelings into the kiss as her eyes watered. She broke the kiss after sometime and rested her forehead against his. That was when she noticed he was also crying.

"I missed you, Sidney." She whispered, almost choking on her breath due to the little sobs she was giving out.

"Promise me, Mima. Promise me you'll never leave me again. Ever!"

"I promise, baby." She replied nodding as she sniffed non-stop.

"I love you, Mima."

"No, I love you, Sidney. YOU!"
