KIMBERLY - CHAPTER THREE

I lived like this for sometime before Max withdrew his calls again. I tried to reach Max but couldn't so I focused on Henry.

Our love grew even stronger except we couldn't see each other physically. So, I decided that when I'd take my JAMB exam, I'll put Lagos because Henry lives in Lagos with his aunt.

According to him, he planed on moving out soon. For me it wasn't a problem, I was just happy to see him.

So I wrote my JAMB, took my exams and there! I passed.

Two weeks after my exam, a call came in. It was Maxwell and guess what!

He is back! 

He dearly wanted to see me but I kept my distance, knowing my feelings for Henry beats my feelings for him. After a lot of pressure from Max, I dressed up that day and went to see him.

I was determined to let him know, I was seeing someone else. 

I got to his house, there he was, charming as ever. He flashed me that pretty smile that sends shivers down my spine. At that instant, the memories we shared dropped right in my head.

I smiled broadly and gave him a big hug. 

Maxwell, being a thick physique man, wrapped me even better and I felt this warm comfort and a strange feeling over taking me. 

So far, the only thing I've shared with Maxwell is a kiss, which I was even shy to give that day he travelled. 

For me, Maxwell is a gentleman, he agreed to my terms of no sex and wouldn't want to force me into doing anything I don't want to do. 

I released my hug and fixed my gaze on Maxwell's eyes then I moved it to this lips. He got the message, he gave a light smile and I kissed him. 

Mind you, I was still standing at the door and haven't said a word.

I kissed him deeply, then I pulled out. He looked at me with those eyes, that look that bursts my feelings and have everything flowing out.

Our lips met again, this time, with passion and force. Each instantly warming to the touch of the other. 

Lips parting, tongues dipping and our breath mingling.

His mouth demanding that I keep giving and his tongue thrusting.

We got to the bedroom which I didn't know how we got there.

In an instant, clothes were off.

Our body came together and I can tell you, lawd! That was the moment. I couldn't hold myself. Our lips met again, he moved onto his back, his left hand holding the nape of my neck, his right hand smoothing down my back to the curve around my hip. 

My hands were in his short afro hair, strong and firm on his scalp. Caressing as they comb through his black thick afro.

This was my moment, locked in passion, I was sure I wanted this. I was 18, I knew what I wanted. There was no going back at this time. 

The thought of Henry flashed through my mind and I pushed it off. Max was now kissing down slowly through my tummy. I wasn't going to stop him.

There, I had my first sex with him and I didn't regret it.

It felt so good I am proud of it even till today but that wasn't all. 

After the sex, that was when we actually spoke. All through sex, we only communicated with moaning.

I told Max I loved him, but I love someone else even more.

He was surprised and dumbfounded. 

I told him, I only had sex with him so he wouldn't feel cheated. 

Plus, I wanted to know what it felt like having sex. 

Meanwhile I was lying. I slept with him because I can't control my emotions when around him but I had to form boss like no emotions was attached.

Max was down, pained and betrayed but I loved Henry more. At least I thought so.

Now I have to deal with the guilt of having to pretend to Henry that I've been faithful. To think I'll be moving to Lagos soon.

My love life was complicated, I couldn't control being in love with two men at same time.
