The Mistaken Identity

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19

“The door is unlocked.” I said.

Just then I saw Lizzie walk in wearing her white dress; she looked worried. She closed the door from the inside but did not lock then stood about a metre from it.

“To what do I owe this surprise?” I asked.

“I came to apologize for my naive reaction earlier.” She replied calmly.

Lizzie had a nice shape, her hips were visible even in the white medical dress and her future behind was so bright. She had beautiful chocolate legs and medium sized boobs. I stared at her keenly and noticed that the lines of the bikini she was wearing when I met her in her room were not visible on her dress; she had taken it off.

“Why the sudden change of heart?” I asked.

“As I said, you are a nice guy and you don’t deserve to be treated the way I treated you Ham.” She replied.

“I don’t buy that Lizzie, what exactly brought you to my room?” I asked curiously.

She did not answer, she just locked the door then unzipped her dress and allowed it to fall on the ground then she gave me a seductive look. I turned my head away then said;

“Am sorry Lizzie but you already said that you are taken.”

Wairimu was a stubborn one unlike Jackie, she never believed in giving up. She walked to my bed where I was lying with only my boxer then sat beside me and said;

“Yes I thought I was taken until I heard him deny me in front of you. I never knew that he was just in love with my body until you opened my eyes.” She said as she gently touched my chest.

“Lizzie, I am not the kind of man who will beat around the bush; I will tell you the truth. You fell in love with Mwaura just because he is from a rich background but not because the two of you connected. Mwaura does not love your body, it is you who is making him love it. Just because you want to win him, you chose to give yourself to him like a sacrificial lamb. As long as you are willing to do whatever he asks, what makes you think he will not see you as his concubine?” I asked her in a polite wa

“That is why am here Ham. You showed interest in me more than he ever has; I have made up my mind and I wanna be with a man who loves me, a man who cares about me.” She replied.

“Lizzie, your feelings are hurt and you are acting out of desperation. Less than an hour ago, you chased me away from your room, now you are in my room; I don’t wanna take advantage of you dear.” I said with a gentle tone.

Lizzie began feeling ashamed and she slowly got off the bed but I did not want to hurt her feelings more than I already had, I took her hand and pulled her back to the bed.

“Be honest with me Lizzie, did you come to me because Edwin has hurt your feelings or because you want to be with me?” I asked.

“Ham, don’t judge me please. I overheard u and him talk then followed him to the Spa secretly. I peeped through a backside window and saw him with Jackie. That made me so mad, I just felt desperate and I needed someone to make me calm down. I know you think I am a cheap lady Ham but I am not, I just feel desperate.” She replied with a sad face.

“I never judge a book by it’s cover dear. Making love to me just because you saw the man you love with another lady will not make you feel any better dear. As much as I want to be in bed with you, I don’t want to take advantage of your desperation. It is normal to feel desperate in life more so in such situations but if you just act without thinking of the consequences, you will end up getting hurt more.” I said confidently.

Definitely I was yearning to explore her honeypot but I did not wanMlt to hit and run; Lizzie had saved my life at least and to me, she was a decent lady though she was two years older than me. It would not be fair hurting her feelings after all she had done for me. I looked at her then said;

“Lizzie, yes I do like you but I can’t say that I love you, love is a strong word and it takes time to love someone. I don’t want to lie to you that I love you just to get into your pants then I end up hurting you more and even lose your friendship.”

“I know Ham and thanks for being honest with me. Also thanks for not taking advantage of me; I like you too and I would like to spend more time with you and get to know you better; you are one in a million.” She replied then lay on my chest and gave me a kiss.

My little man was excited since Lizzie was not wearing her dress but I had to tame him since I did not want to screw up all the trust I had built in her. To show her that I was willing to give her a chance to be my girl, I gently kissed her back then held her in my arms.

“I wish I met your earlier Ham.” She said as she drew on my chest using her index finger.

“God’s time is the best time Wairimu. I am now here and u have my attention every time you need it.” I replied then kissed her again.

Lizzie grabbed the duvet from the bottom side of the bed then pulled it upwards and covered us both. She the began caressing my chest gently just then there was a knock at the door; it was Benerdeta Mwikali at the door; Teyie Bright’s fiancée.

Lizzie froze when she heard Mwikali call out my name. I knew what Mwikali wanted, but I did not want Lizzie knowing that I was s——g the boss lady so I just remained calm and ignored Mwikali. She knocked again and again but I pretended to be asleep so she had no choice but to walk away.

Lizzie then went back to her room late in the night to get some sleep. In the morning, Mwikali left since she had a Company to run and Mwaura went to visit his friends in town. He asked me to accompany him but I refused since I wanted to sleep.

The following week was my final exams in Campus, I had to go get out of the comfort zone for me to be able to read for the exam. I was escorted by Davis back to my apartment to go and get ready for the exams and promised to go back to the Paradise after school.

The exams took one week but I did not feel like going back to Teyie’s mansion since I was trying to avoid Jackie. I was still feeling guilty for what I did to her and I did not want to meet her face to face.

One evening as I was lying on my bed in my single room, I heard a knock at the door. I thought it was one of my neighbours since they were the ones used to knocking at my door so often so I first ignored. Then I heard Mwikali’s voice calling.

I got off the bed and went to unlock the door. Mwikali was wearing a red umbrella dress and red high-heeled shoes. I could tell that she had no bra since the dress was designed in a way it would play the brassieres role.

“Hey Ham.” She greeted me warmly smiling.

“Hey Mwikali, to what do I owe the visit?” I asked smiling back.

“Don’t be silly swiry, may I come in?” She replied.

I stepped aside for her to walk in then I closed the door.

“Have u thought about Teyie’s offer?” She asked as she sat on the bed.

“Yes, I am going to take the job.” I replied.

“When are you reporting to work?” She asked excitedly.

“Next week most probably.” I replied.

“Good. Can I have a glass of water please?” She asked.

I fetched a glass from the utensils ruck and poured her some cold water. While she was taking the glass from my hands, it accidentally fell off pouring the water on her dress from the chest downwards. She grabbed the glass so as not to fall and got up quickly to try and get off the water from her dress but the material of the dress was so fast in absorbing water, it was already wet.

Mwikali placed the glass on the table then turned around and asked me to help her unzip the dress. I slowly began to open the zip then Mwikali just allowed it to fall off to the ground. She then turned and said;

“Kindly can you hang it for me outside so that it can dry?”……..
