My Desire

Episode 5
Sonia left her room with determination of telling Kingsley how she felt without minding the consequences.
She got to his well furnished room and parlour self-contain at 11:05am, knocked and Kingsley came to answer the door dressed only in shorts with his chest bare. He had been watching a football recap on his 25-inches plasma tv when he heard the knock. He knew it was Sonia, she had a unique way of knocking, one thing he like about her.

Sonia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him bare chested, it wasn’t her first time of seeing him that way, but something seems unique about his abbs that morning. Kingsley complemented her looks and gave her a hug as he had always done. She was tensed, but that wasn’t going to stop her, she assured herself.

They both sat in the sitting room side by side on the three seater chair facing the television, and a conversation started.
King: Sony baby! What should I offer you o, because that’s when you’ll say i’m not accommodating. For the past 3months i’ve been the one visiting once in a while. I’m happy you finally forgive me of my unknown sins and visit me today.
Sonia gave a short laugh and replied: when i need something, i’ll go to the kitchen myself okay? Sorry I stayed away, i was sorting out something within me.
King: within you? I don’t understand. He looked confused.
Sonia: yeah, but that’s why i’m here anyway.
King: tell me about it. He lowered the tv volume and faced her by sitting sideways.
Sonia smiled, sighed and looked away to hide the tears forming in her eyes. How can love hurt this much? She wondered.
King was quick to notice, he touched her jaws and turned her face to himself, he became more worried. “Sonia, what’s wrong? Please talk to me, you are getting me scared. What happened? Did Francis hurt you? Talk to me Sonia” he pleaded.
Sonia closed her eyelids and let the tears fall. This was harder than she thought, but if she didn’t say it,she felt she would die. She opened her eyes, looked straight into King’s eyes and spoke. “No, Francis didn’t hurt me. You did. You have been hurting me King, and now it’s more than i can bare. You are killing me King!”
Kingsley has never been more confused in his life, he tried remembering if he had in anyway hurt her, but he remembered none, then he asked “I’m lost here Sonia, don’t speak in parables please. What have I done? Tell me I’ll apologize. You know i’ll never deliberately hurt you, how will i hurt my own bestie….”
“bestie! That is just the problem King!” Sonia cut in and sprang up suddenly holding her forehead, it startled King and he had to stand up too. “King I’ve been your bestie for more than two years now” Sonia continued, the tears flow more and her voice was shaking “can’t you see it? Can’t you see i am madly in love with you? Don’t you feel anything over these years? Are you so blind that you couldn’t tell i have always wanted you ever since we became close? I love you King! I stupidly fell for you when I don’t even know if you felt the same! I only wanted you to ask me out, but you never did! That kiss we had at the birthday party meant the world to me, you have no idea how long i have dreamt of doing that, but you never cared! Why King? Why?” she fell on her knees covering her face as her heart beat faster.
King stood speechless and motionless as he listened to Sonia pour out her heart so loud with visible emotions. Was he dreaming? Did Sonia just say those words? This was a lady he loved from the first day he had a chat with her, but he couldn’t tell her his mind since she said she was in a relationship already. He wouldn’t want anyone to steal his woman away from him, and this was why he decided to bottle up his feelings and settle for friendship instead of stealing another man’s woman. He had battled this feelings until he met Morgan, why now? Why not earlier?
He swallowed his tears and spoke “Sonia, i’m so sorry, i never had an idea. I-I-I, just please get up” he pulled her up, and they stood facing eachother with his hands round her waist. “I’ve always loved you Sonia, but i was scared of loosing your friendship. Francis is a good man, i couldn’t betray him. I had no idea what you were going through Sonia. But it’s too late, I can’t hurt Morgan, it hurts but I-”
Sonia silenced him with a kiss which he responded to, she wasn’t giving up now that she knows he feels the same. She pressed harder to his body making him moan with need. King lifted her and laid her on the three seater while they continued kissing with his body almost lying completely on her.
“Kingsley!!!” Morgan screamed as the pack she was holding fell from her hands. They never knew when she got in…
