Chapter 29

The next morning, Pearl Ganyo was reading a novel in her parents' library. Her mother knew all wasn't well with her daughter. The previous day, she had told her she was going to have her hair done at Emily's salon. However Pearl had returned without her hair styled. She had looked dejected and her mother had asked her why, but Pearl had only said she wasn't feeling too well.

"Pearl, do you feel better today?" Afia asked her and Pearl feigned a smile.

"Yes, Mom." She replied.

"Do you care to tell me what happened?" Her mom asked and Pearl laughed.

"Mum, you never give up. Do you?" She asked Afia, laughing.

"I'm concerned Pearl. Is it about James?" Afia asked and Pearl was taken aback with surprise. She wondered whether James had mentioned anything to Emily who had in turn informed Afia. She hoped her guess was wrong. Her expression gave her away and her mom knew it was about James. Over the years, she had observed how Pearl had behaved whenever she talked about James. She knew her daughter was in love, however she didn't want to push anything.

"Well, I think I would like to be alone, Mom." She told Afia.

"You know you can tell me anything." Afia urged her on.

"Mom, I did a lot of horrible things yesterday. Very horrible things. I'm so ashamed of myself."

"Okay my Dear, don't worry. I can see you are already feeling uncomfortable. When you feel better, we can talk. For now, I'd like to let you be." Afia told her.

"Thank you, Mom." Pearl responded tearily.

"However, I want to tell you one thing. Whenever you are in love with someone, don't let them go. Hold onto them." Afia said lastly before leaving, causing Pearl to ponder over her words.

Her phone rang suddenly, causing her to wake up from her daydreaming. She was startled and picked up immediately without looking to see who was calling.

"Hello." She answered after picking up.

"We need to meet up. Tell me, when are you free?"

The person at the other end of the line said. She immediately recognized the voice of the caller and retorted angrily.

"James, don't think you can command me anyhow." She said and suddenly remembered her mother's words.

"Well, I will be free by 7am. You can pick me up by then." She said to him.

"Alright, I think that's a good time for me. I'll be at your house by seven tomorrow morning then. See you tomorrow." James said and hung up.

The next day, James arrived at the Ganyos' residence fifteen minutes earlier than seven. Kojo and Afia were glad to see him.

"Our daughter told us she'll be going out with you today." Kojo said and James smiled.

"Yes, Uncle, that's very true." James replied.

"Take very good care of yourselves." Afia cautioned and called Pearl to come out of her room.

"Pearl, your visitor is already here. Hurry and come out of the room. What exactly are you still doing there?" Afia asked her.

"I'll soon be there, Mom! I'm almost done!" She shouted from her room upstairs.

In ten minutes, she came out of her room in a sea blue dress with silver shoes to match. She had let her hair loose and looked stunning. James was impressed and looked at her with admiration.

"Wow, that's my beautiful Pearl." Kojo praised her.

"I taught her well." Afia said and they burst in an uproar.

"Okay you two, enjoy the rest of the day." Kojo Ganyo said, releasing them to go.

"Thank you, Uncle and Auntie." James said and motioned to Pearl to follow after him.

He was also feeling uncomfortable in the presence of Pearl's parents and understood better how she must have felt that day at Emily's salon.

He opened the door of the car for her to sit, and afterwards he went to his side of the car. He turned on the ignition and drove off as Kojo and Afia looked on with smiles on their faces.

"He's such a gentleman." Afia praised James.

"Yes,he is." Kojo replied proudly.

"I told you I'll make sure the man who marries our daughter would pamper her just like I do." Kojo said and they both laughed.

James parked his blue saloon car at the Van Beach. He came out of his side of the car and quickly went to the other side of the car to open the door for Pearl to come out. She muttered "Thank you" and he smiled.

They walked towards the beach and went to sit down beside one coconut tree where there was a table with two chairs facing each other in the opposite direction. He pulled out one chair for her to sit before pulling out another for himself.

He looked into her face and spoke up.

"Pearl, I would like to thank you for honoring my invitation. It was sudden and I'm so glad you made it. Thank you." He began.

"I would also like to say I'm sorry for what happened the other day. Honestly I know you were carried away by your emotions. We should have set boundaries and I'm glad I didn't take advantage of your innocence." He continued and Pearl merely looked at the waves going up and down.

Before she could know what was happening, he was kneeling in the sand in front of her, holding a ring. She was dumbfounded.

"Will you marry me, Pearl?" He asked her and she looked at him with surprise.

The thought of getting married to James had crossed her mind a lot of times.

Whenever that thought entered, she became excited and had peace in her heart.

She remembered her mother's words again and decided not to play "hard to get".

After a long pause, she decided to respond.

"Yes, I'll marry you, James. I'll marry you!" She exclaimed excitedly and he was beside himself with joy.

He quickly put the ring on her middle finger and they both hugged each other.

"Thank you, Pearl. Thank you for giving me a 'yes'!" He said proudly.

***

A month later, a wedding took place at St. John's Baptist Church. Pearl and James exchanged vows with each other happily. Their friends and family were there in their numbers to support them.

After the wedding, they both traveled to the Bahamas where they had their honeymoon.

Pearl was excited they were far away from the reach of known people.

"Wow, this place is very nice." Pearl said after they entered their bedroom.

"Yes, it is." James replied.

"I want my queen to feel excited." He added and went towards her as he held her waist.

"Let's take a quick shower and get some rest."

He said and kissed her on her lips passionately.

She went to change into a red nightgown and he admired her in it.

"I'll be right back." She told him and was going towards the bathroom when he stopped her.

"Not so fast my Darling." He said.

"But I'm going to take my bath." She responded while giggling.

He lifted her to the bedside and took her hands in his.

"I love you, Pearl." He whispered softly in her ears and she smiled.

Gently, he removed her nightwear, exposing her firm rounded breasts.

"Wow, girl you are so beautiful." He said to her and grabbed her breasts with full force. He sucked them with so much passion like a hungry baby, causing her to moan excitedly. He grabbed her buttocks and passed his hands around them over and over again.

"Come here, baby." He said and took her in his arms.

Gently, he lay her down on the bed and went for her pants. He slowly brought them down, revealing her private part which seemed to be screaming at him. Gently, he kissed her passionately on her lips, while moving his hands all over her thighs. He went for her breasts again and suck them with full force, one after the other as she urged him on with her moaning. Gently, she removed his boxers. He entered her slowly and rocked her slowly, and gently. She moaned softly and screamed with passion.

"Uuu, aaarh, yes love." She moaned excitedly.

After they had the first round, they went to the bathroom for a shower and made love there again and again. He was surprised to find out that she was still a virgin. They returned to the bedroom and seemed not to have enough of themselves. Pearl's curvy shape was driving James crazy and he seemed to want more of her. She walked up and down, swaying her hips. He jumped off the bed and went for her.

"Come here, Darling." He said and pulled her to himself, her back facing him. She felt his penis vibrate around her buttocks and her heart skipped a beat. He grabbed her breasts from the back and stroked them gently. He kissed her neck and passed his hands down her buttocks. She turned to face him and he grabbed her buttocks, moving them up and down slowly with his hands. She moaned softly and he kissed her passionately on the lips. He carried her to the sofa and lay her down.

He went for her breasts again and stroked them gently causing her to gasp for breath.

She held his penis and slowly brought it down inside her.

Seeing that she wanted him so badly, he decided to rock her gently and the sofa seemed too small for them. He took her gently from the sofa and they lay on the floor stark naked.

"Come here, Darling." He said and brought her closer to himself, causing their bodies to touch each other. He rocked her slowly up and down while saying sweet words into her ears. Then he rocked her faster and faster, she moaned heavily.

"Aarrh you're so sweet!" She screamed loudly.

After they were done, he stroked her hair playfully and she played with the hair on his chest.

They slept off soundly afterwards.

The next morning, Pearl woke up to the smell of food. James had asked the hotel to have their breakfast delivered to their room.

"Good morning my love." He greeted her when he saw that she was awake.

"Good morning." She responded.

"Let's take a shower quickly and have our breakfast." He said and gently lifted her off the bed and she smiled at him.

"My superhero." She said to him proudly.

"My beautiful queen." He replied.

In the bathroom, he turned on the shower and started to kiss her.

"Oh my goodness, I have to take my bath." She said amidst giggling.

"We gonna do it right here and now baby." He said and she laughed.

He was putting on boxers and he removed it, revealing his penis which seemed to be ready to enter her vagina.

"Ooh, your apple breasts." He said excitedly and suck them one after the other, causing Pearl to scream in excitement.

"Ooh baaabyyy. Mmm that's Soo Soo ooo sweeett. Ha, yes baby, yyess, I'm all yours. Haa suck it more more baby more." He lifted her onto the bathroom counter to sit. He stood right in front of her and stroked her clitoris gently causing her to moan excitedly.

She went for his penis and stroke it gently with her hands. Aroused,he took her with full force and entered the bedroom with her. She quickly got up from the bed and went to sit in the sofa, giggling as he ran after her playfully. She got up from the sofa and made him sit, and she sat down on him directly. Seeing her firm rounded breasts aroused him more and he inserted his penis into her vagina which screamed at him.

Slowly, she went up and down and he enjoyed the view of her breasts and suck them as they both went up and down.

They seemed to struggle in the chair and couldn't seem to have enough of themselves.

After the act, they had breakfast and she was still stark naked in front of him, driving him crazy.

"Your apples are driving me crazy honey." He told her and she laughed.

"Come for them baby, they are all yours." She said to him and he went at her with full force as she sat on the sofa opposite him. She got up for him to sit and she sat on him directly facing him. He looked at her firm rounded breasts and grabbed the right one first, then he sucked the nipples so hungrily and desperately.

"Arrh", she moaned heavily and turned her head in excitement. He lifted her from the sofa and lay her down on the bed. He suck her nipples again, whilst putting his hands through her thighs, causing some vibration in her body.

His mouth suck her nipples so much, causing her to feel aroused all over. She moaned and panted heavily,he was encouraged to suck her breasts even harder.

She could feel his mouth strongly on her nipples, she began to go crazy.

He mounted her and they made love till they both fell fast asleep in each other's arms.

The past few months had been exciting for Pearl and James. They got closer and always got along with each other, and nothing had ever happened to upset or worry them.

They had returned to Ghana from the Bahamas,a month after they had traveled there for their honeymoon. Pearl was determined to build her home. She resolved to solve the minor problems they encountered in their marriage.

In Ghana, they went to the movies, the mall, and a whole lot of places. They both had lots of money to spend, and they were determined to tour the world.

"Honey, your phone is ringing." Pearl told James one cool afternoon while the sun was still high up in the sky. She sent the phone to James,who asked about the identity of the caller.

"It's an unknown number Darling." She replied to his question.

He answered the call and that call was going to be the turning point of their lives. If Pearl had known this, she wouldn't have allowed James to answer the call.

"Honey, I have to travel somewhere." James told Pearl after the call. She looked worried and asked with concern;

"Where are you traveling to my Dear?" He looked into her innocent eyes and sighed deeply.

"A friend called me concerning a contract. I would love to participate in..."

"James, so are you leaving me behind or would I go with you?" She asked him sharply without waiting to allow him to end his statement, and he merely looked at her.

"James, talk to me please." She pleaded after he was silent.

"I'll definitely be back Pearl." He told her and she looked away, hiding her tears from him. She had grown fond of him and couldn't imagine life without him for even a single day.

"I love you, Pearl." He said softly and went towards her. Seeing the tears in her eyes caused him to rethink his decision. It was a contract and he was determined to go at all cost. He didn't like to depend on his parents' money. He also wanted to build a fortune and make a name for himself. He was heartbroken, seeing the tears in her eyes.

He sat beside her, and patted her on the back. The tears she had tried her best to control poured out freely like a dam had been opened.

"Let them pour out Pearl." He encouraged her and she cried in his arms like a baby.

"I want you to know that I love you Pearl. Definitely I'll be back for you. I won't be long." He encouraged her and she cried further.

He helped to wipe away her tears with his hands and kissed her on the lips. She was wearing a transparent orange colored dress, and he put his hands inside the dress from below her. She knew he was going to grab her breasts, and that's exactly what he did. She loved how he grabbed her breasts passionately and how he suck hungrily on them. She opened herself up to him, unsure of when he would be traveling. She wanted to give him her all. At least, that could make him miss her more or perhaps change his mindset about going.

He kissed her passionately again on her lips, while using his right hand to wobble around her breasts. That feeling excited her so much, she quickly removed her dress, to enable easy access for him. Encouraged by her gesture which communicated to him that she enjoyed what he did to her, he carried her with full force to the bed and lay her down. Afterwards,he grabbed both breasts with his hands, and suck the nipples hungrily. He caressed them slowly, causing her to moan heavily.

"Aarww, aarrh, haaa." She moaned and he got excited. She grabbed his shorts and opened the zip, bringing out his long erected penis which seemed to be ready for action. She drove him crazy with her excited moans and he slowly brought down her pants. Her breasts were calling for him as they stood straight in front of him. He entered into her and grabbed those two breasts, causing her to let out a loud moan.

"Youuu, aaaarrhh,awwww babyyyy,haaa, sweet."

She moaned excitedly and panted heavily as he rocked her up and down, up and down, over and over again on the bed, still sucking her firm rounded breasts. She seemed to reach orgasm and he was in very high spirits. They both reached their peak and slowly he brought his penis out of her vagina and cuddled her. He rubbed his fingers around her sexy, smooth thighs to calm her down.

"I love you so much." He whispered in her ears and how she loved it.

She grabbed his right hand and put it on her breasts,as if to say her breasts also needed to calm down. He stroked them gently, and she moved as though she had experienced an electric shock.

Their romancing took place again at night, and they seemed to be on the moon.
