Chapter 155: Not Now
FindNovels.com He yawned, looked at the time and saw it was past 2am. He raised himself to a sitting position and remembered Rosa was supposed to be sleeping by his side. He looked at his side where she's supposed to be sleeping and found it empty. She did not return into the room?
He stood up groggily and went to relieve himself. He decided to check on her in the other rooms. He went to the sitting room but she was not there.
He looked at the guest room and she wasn't there either. Besides the guest room there were only the children and the servants quarters.
Even Aunt Lulu lives in the servants quarters. He decided to check the children's room and there he found Rosa sleeping with her hands folded between her thighs.
The weather was cold and she, though didn't turn the air conditioner on, opened the windows. He went and shut the windows first and carried her gently back into the room. Rosa didn't know she was carried but kept sleeping. He laid her on the bed and adjusted the air conditioner to a warm temperature before covering her with the quilt. Her palm was cold. The night wear she had on was light and couldn't resist cold. Why didn't she wake up when the cold was much?
She might have caught a cold that morning. He laid beside her and pulled her into his embrace. Perhaps sharing his body temperature with him and taking in part of their coldness. It was at dawn that Rosa woke up and found herself in Lanre's embrace. When and how did she get here? She remembered she slept in the children's room.
Lanre was still sleeping and she tried standing up gently by removing his hand. But suddenly, Lanre pulled her back.
She struggled free from him and he let her stand up. She went to relieve herself and looked at the time when she returned.
It was 4:30am, she needed to sleep for another two hours before standing up to take her bath.
She returned to lie on the bed and turned her back to Lanre. He was awake now and pulled her to embrace her again but she shoved his hands off her.
Lanre smiled. Pay back time. She was paying him back exactly how he did the previous night. From behind he held her close and despite Rosa's struggle, he held her close.
"You can't possibly Still be angry" Lanre whispered in her ears. He turned her to face him forcefully and said " don't waste your energy, struggling with me"
He placed his lips on hers and kissed her. Rosa tried turning her head away but Lanre kept her in check. "If you don't want to kiss me, let me kiss you," he said.
Rosa hissed between gritted teeth. What is the difference between him kissing her and her kissing him.
