Intoxicated Romance

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 29

Steven:

With antonia sitting beside me, i have the biggest grin on my face. I feel like holding her hands while i drive like we did before in Paris but i know I’ll certainly be rebuked. Antonia probably thinks i am

trying to deceive her again. I must get her to trust me before these

two weeks are over. Speating of my plan, i already have a welcome back

brunch ready at my house

. Chris, antonia’s brother who is in cohort with me called me at the hospital to inform me that everything is set.

I drive into the hotel then park my car carefully. I rush out of the car and open the door for antonia but she just sit there frowning,

making no move to exit the car.

“what’s wrong?” i ask her.

“i think i sprained my ankle in the hospital awhile ago. I don’t think

i can walk on it”she pout at me.

“okay, that’s fine. I’ll just carry you”

“you don’t have to, but i won’t stop you”she says and i pick her up from the car.

Wow, she has added weight since the last time i carried

her. I walk faster so i can get to the elevator quickly

. I breathe a

sigh of relief when i get to the elevator. I am about to go in when antonia taps my shoulder.

“what are you doing?” she asks

“taking you upstairs” i answer. Isn’t it obvious?

“you cant use the elevator?”

“and why is that?”

“i read on the net that it isn’t good for a pregnant woman to go on elevators. It affects the babies’ lungs”she says and smile innocently

at me.

“so, you are saying i should take the stairs?” she nods

“to the seventh floor?”she nods again

“carrying you?”

“yes Steven. Or you could just take the elevator and I’ll walk up the stairs myself, with my injured ankle, which hurts”she says but she makes no move to get down. Ok Steven, you can do this. She doesn’t

weigh that much.

“no. I was just asking to be sure. I can even carry you up 10 floors.

Its no problem” i say and head to the stairwell. I endure and carry antonia up to my suite on the seventh floor. She doesn’t even come down when i reach the door so i have to maneuver my key card out of my pocket while trying not to drop her.

I manage to get the door open.

I hear antonia gasp and that when i remember my surprise brunch.

“surprise”i whisper then carry her to the couch and place her on it gently.

Our faces are so close with her hands around my neck.

I know kissing her would attract a slap so i just slip her hands off my neck and stand up straight.

“so what do you want to start with?. There are some toast, eggs, apples, stra-“

“I’m not hungry” antonia says cutting me off and my face falls.

“oh, i was going to say strawberry ice-cream but since you are not

hungry, I’ll just throw it away” i say and i see her eyes light up.

She stand up from the couch and smile at me.

“on second thoughts, its a sin to waste food so I’ll just help you un-waste the ice-cream. Where is it?” she starts walking to the table Chris set in the middle of the sitting room and i stare at her back.

Isn’t she supposed to be limping?. Antonia must feel my eyes on her

because she turns back “Steven, come on. Where is the ice-cream?”she

sees my eyes on her leg and she blushes.

“antonia, how is your ankle?” i ask

“umm. It still hurts a bit but i can manage”

“the thought of ice-cream must have magically healed it huh?”

“yes. Umm so where is the ice-cream” she says trying to change the topic and i chuckle.

The little devil must have deceived me so i would carry her. Anyways, thankfully, the brunch wouldn’t be wasted.

I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist the ice-cream seeing as she had woken me up to buy it for her when we were in Paris. I bring the big bowl of ice-cream i told Chris to buy and set it on the table. Without wasting time, Antonia opens the bowl and dip her index finger inside.

She puts her ice-cream covered finger into her mouth and suck on it. I

watch as her eyes close in pure pleasure as she moans.

“its delicious, Steven. Try some” she says, her finger back in the

bowl and before i know it, she’s shoving her finger in my mouth. I suck on her hand and close my eyes just like she did.

“hmm”i murmur

“delicious right?” she asks and i nod still swirling my tongue around her finger in my mouth. She removes her finger slowly out of my mouth

while staring at it.

“your finger tastes delicious. I want more” i say rubbing my stomach

and wink at her. She burst out laughing and my heart leap. This is the

first time i have heard her laugh since the accident. We smile at each

other for awhile but the spell is broken by a knock on the door.

Antonia divert her eyes everywhere but at me. I sigh. Who could be

knocking on my door?. I am not expecting anybody. I walk to the door

then open it to see Jane. My smile falls instantly.

“don’t get mad at me please. I am just here to apologise”

“you cant be here.” i say glancing behind me to make sure antonia is not there.

“i have been trying to work up the nerves to ask for your forgiveness

for awhile now. Don’t send me back, just hear me out” she pleads.

“maybe sometime else, now is not a good time” i whisper.

“why is this not a good time?” i hear antonia say behind me and i stiffen.

. Shit!

“Jane, you have to leave now” i say

“Jane?”antonia asks. I turn to her but she runs back into the room.

What was i thinking, saying jane’s name. Ofcourse she knows i have a

fiance named Jane.

“Steven, who’s th–” Jane tries to ask but i shut the door in her face and run inside in search of antonia. I am surprise by what i see when i see antonia. She is just sitting on the couch in front of my plasma

stuffing her face with ice-cream while laughing hysterically at whatever Mr ibu is saying on the tv set. She notice my presence and

turn to me

“where’s Jane?. Isn’t she joining us for brunch?”she asks while

looking behind me in search of Jane. I walk to the couch sit beside her.

“she left”i tell her then pick the little spoon on the table and scoop some ice-cream into my mouth.

“oh that’s a shame. I would have loved to have a little chat with the love of your life”she says without looking at me. I am about to tell

her she is a only of my life but she shuts me up with her hand.

“Stop talking. I can’t hear the movie”she says and I sigh.
