Must Read: Mariana Episode 17

Seventeen

 

 

Paula’s POV continues

 

I couldn’t stop laughing as he kept torturing my nerves which were now going cranky from the tickles.

 

Pinning both my wrists above my head with only a hand while the other hand clutched the side of my stomach, he smirked victoriously. “Now tell me, Paula ”

 

I laughed at his face breathlessly, refusing to give up and still too afraid to answer.

 

I knew I wouldn’t be able to take another marathon of laughing fit.

 

“Just say it”

 

saying it, he clutched tighter the skin of my side, making my body jerk a little beneath him at the tingle he sent to my nerves through his rough touch.

 

I bit down hard on my lip, struggling hard not to send another string of giggles or in other words… gasp.

 

“Anna” he demanded, his voice drop-dead sexy.

 

I laughed. “Get off me, you jerk.”

 

 

“Uh uh.” He shook his head and the fat grin on his godlike face was becoming more fat and more sexy. “Not until you say that I charmed you with my handsomness “.

 

“I can’t admit that. It wasn’t because you’re handsome. Which you are not.,” I whined hard headedly.

 

“Well, then.” His rough fingers grazed along my skin and began their torture again.

 

“Okay! Okay!!” I squealed, my voice cutting through the silence of the night in sharp pitch.

 

He stopped and I pushed him away as I tried to stand. Once we were back to our previous position, I wiped the tears off my eyes with my hands and then, inhaled and exhaled two three deep breaths to swallow the remaining laughter.

 

“So now tell me why you got charmed.” He smirked again.

 

“I never said I was. I only said okay.” I lied.

 

He frowned cutely and said, “That’s cheating.” And his hands, once again, began to reach out for me but before he could reach me, I bustled up from my placed and dashed away from him.

 

He followed suit and soon he was chasing me around the car. With that athletic physique of his, there was no way I could out run him unless there was some help from a fairy that is if they still exist.

 

I was lost in my thoughts and didn’t notice when he came to stood in front of me. I tripped on his shoe and fell into his arms.

 

Looking at me, he chortled loudly throwing back his head and I hated the fact that he caught me. ” I should’ve tried this idea long ago. It worked faster”.

 

I frowned at him.

 

“So,” he breathed, “You’re not admitting it, are you, Paula?”

 

 

Smiling slowly, I shook my head.

“Then, I will make you,” he rasped and began kissing me . . . Like really kissing me.

 

Grabbing me by my nape, he deepened the kiss swallowing all the gasps and moans that were gurgling loosely at the back of my throat. The fervour in the kiss was so intense that I found it hard to believe that it was only a kiss and not something more than that. I had to gasp, for me to adapt to the intensity.

 

With the coldness of the weather and the effect of the kiss, I was already breathless and when I did let out a small gasp, it came out in a heated, heavy exhale.

 

Taking that as an opportunity, his tongue darted inside my mouth and I almost fainted at it.

 

Deepening the kiss, he suddenly moaned loudly into my mouth and so did I, as a burst of feelings exploded like supernova inside my stomach at the sound of his rasp moaning.

 

His hands flowed down from my neck to my waist, down my thighs, to my knees and my breathing suddenly stopped as he hitched my legs around his waist so that I was straddling him.

 

I clung onto his neck tighter with all my might and my fingers began to rake through his hair, grasping fistful of his locks as I tugged him closer to myself.

 

“I’ll never get enough of you,” he breathed in between the kiss.

 

Brushing his lips against mine, both of us battling for dominance, he purred into my mouth, the heat of his breath sending a spiral of chills down my spine finally drawing a moan that had been trembling at the back of my throat.

 

Heaving heavily, trying to inhale any possible amount of air, I pulled back to breathe.

 

 

He grabbed my hand back to the car we entered and made a reverse.

 

The air in the car got thicker as we both kept quiet. I looked through the windows as the trees moved.

 

“Sing for me” he stated all of a sudden.

 

“Who?”

 

You!” He replied pointing his fingers at me. “But I don’t know how to sing”

 

“Will you deny this too?” He asked and started pulling over again. “No. No. Don’t stop. I will”.

 

He smiled and continued driving.

 

I took in a deep breath. I really don’t know which song to sing.

 

I closed my eyes and began to sing one of my favorites it’s actually a song sang by couples.

 

 

 

It is with these eyes that I see

 

and it is with my heart that I hear

 

Heeyyy!!! (Boom boom)

 

Titi Titi (boom boom)

 

I can feel this beat

 

 

When I see you

 

 

I sang the female part about to sing the male part then Pablo took over. My eyes widened instantly. How come he knows this song.

 

Pablo

 

 

Love and war is past have no fear

 

It is with these ears that I hear

 

Heyyy (boom boom)

 

Titi Titi (boom boom)

 

It’s music to my ears when I see you

 

I smiled widely at him as we sang the chorus together.

 

 

Pablo & Paula

 

 

(Sweety sweety o) Say I go die for you

 

(Lovie Lovie o) My heart just dey craze for you

 

If you love me ehh! I’ll love you

 

 

Anything you want I go do for you

 

 

He looked into my eyes as he sang the male part again. I was so flabbergasted. I never knew he could sing so beautifully.

 

 

Pablo

 

 

I love the things you make me do

 

The way you say I love you too

 

Heyyy! (jump jump)

 

The way you make me (jump jump)

 

It’s the dance of love. I’ll dance with you

 

 

I winked at him as I sang the last female part.

 

 

Paula

 

 

Now I’ve seen my dreams come true

 

Loving you is just so cool

 

Heyyy (jump jump)

 

The way you make me (jump jump)

 

Oh you bring me joy, I’ll love you too

 

I finished singing and looked at him incredulously.

 

“Where did you learn that music from?” I asked.

 

He shrugged, ” Well, what can I say? There was a time I have to travel to Africa for a business meeting. So After the meeting, we decided to go tour around the country.

 

So we went to a Cinema and coincidentally, this movie was premiered on that day. And this song was sang by the main characters. I learnt the song from there. I was equally marvelled when you started singing it. Where did you here it from?” He also asked.

 

I signed, “it’s was one of mum’s favorite movies. She loved it so much and automatically, I also do”.

 

“You sang so we’ll”. I complemented sincerely.

 

“I know. I’m a genius” he replied with a wink.”You also sang magnificently. Your voice was so smooth and melodious. Your voice was so intoxicating that I almost fell asleep on the steering wheel when you started singing.” He blabbed.

 

I glared at his exaggeration.

 

I remembered Amy suddenly.

 

I pulled my phone from my pocket to call her.

 

It ringed but she wasn’t picking up.

 

I tried again and she was still not picking up.

 

“She should be sleeping by now. It’s late. Have you checked the time?” Pablo said when he noticed my frustration.

 

I checked the time and it was 2:am. I didn’t know it this late.

 

“Leave it. You can go see her tomorrow.”

 

I nodded.

 

Somehow, I wasn’t convinced.
