20- Molly

Molly had just come back from England yesterday and decided to pay a surprise visit to Eric.

Before she left home, she called one of her spies at Eric's company.

Yeah! She has a spy there. Her name was Melody. Molly made Melody her friend so she could always spy on Eric's movements and report to her.

Melody told Molly Eric wasn't at work. He took the day off.

"That means he's at home. Perfect then!!!" Thought Molly.

Molly couldn't wait to feel his lips on hers. She's missed him.

But then Eric has some explanations to make. She saw his and Katrina's pics on the internet!!

She entered her car and drove straight to Eric's house.

Molly got there sooner than she expected because the road was free.

She bared her car horn. Alvin came out to open the gates and she drove in and parked her car in the car garage, then she came down from the car.

"Good afternoon Madam Molly" Alvin greeted.

"Is your boss in? " Molly asked without replying to his greeting.

"No, he went out," Alvin replied.

"Where?.. Because he's not at work " Molly asked.

"I don't know Ma'am," he replied.

"What about Katrina? She's inside right? " She asked.

"She went out with boss and the bodyguards, " Alvin replied.

"What? You mean Katrina entered the same car with Eric? " Molly asked.

"And what's this about the bodyguards I'm hearing? " She added.

"Ma'am. I think my boss would explain better. I have no answer or explanations to give you" Alvin said.

"Oh really, " Molly replied.

"Yes. You can wait inside for him. I'm going back to my duty post " Alvin said, giving her the key to the door and leaving.

Molly unlocked the door and went in. The house was empty.

Katrina truly wasn't at home. She walked to Eric's room and tried opening the door but it was locked.

Frustrated, she went back to the sitting room and sat on the couch waiting for Eric's return.

Molly kept wondering why Katrina went out with Eric. Maybe they went to get foodstuffs and all.

But Katrina should have gone alone. When did Eric start going to the market?

She looked around the house. It's really neat and well kept.

It was almost six before they returned. She even got tired of waiting, then she heard the opening of gates and a car driving in.

"I guess he's back,"she said.

Molly sat down waiting for him to come in. The door opened and what she saw next surprised her.

Eric was carrying Katrina like a baby!!!

They were laughing too. The bodyguards who opened the door were holding a nylon of ice cream.

So they went out to have fun and lick ice cream.

Eric saw Molly and stopped laughing. Molly stood up, she was furious already.

"What's going on here? " She asked.

"Molly, I wasn't expecting you. When did you come back to the country? You should have called" Eric said the first thing that came to his head as he was still speechless.

****

Eric still carried Katrina and she watched what was going on.

"I wanted to surprise you, " Molly said.

"But I never expected this, " she added and glanced towards Katrina, giving her a bad look.

"When did you guys become this close? " Molly asked Eric.

"Molly... " Eric called.

"I saw the pictures you took with her at the dinner party on the internet. What was that all about? She's your new girl now? I thought she's not your type? " Molly asked. She was really angry.

"Mom asked me to come with her, " Eric answered.

"And this. Mom asked you to take her to an ice cream parlor? " Molly asked again.

"It's just for fun," he replied.

"You took a day off to have fun with her? Com'on this is not the Eric I know " Molly said bitterly.

She walked towards where Eric was standing.

"You know I've missed you baby " Molly said and kissed Eric on the lips. Eric stepped back avoiding the kiss.

"Okay, I think I need to excuse myself." Katrina's inner voice said.

"Keep me down" she whispered to Eric and he kept her down.

"Uhmm... Eric, I'm going up to my room " Katrina said and walked pass Molly.

"Ooh.. She calls you Eric now? " Katrina heard Molly say.

"Look Molly. Katrina is no longer a stranger. We're friends now, there's no need for her to call me Sir " Eric replied.

***

Molly was still surprised at what was happening.

Wait!

Did Eric just reject her kiss because of Katrina??

Wow, this was the first time something like this was happening. Eric has never rejected her advances before.

Molly took a deep breath then held his hands and led him to a chair.

They sat down.

"It's alright darling. I don't mind if you take Katrina out or not. There's something more important to talk about" she said.

"Which is? " Eric asked.

"My dad said we'll be getting married soon," Molly announced.

"What?... That's too fast " Eric replied.

"No it's not. I can't wait to get married. I can't wait for you to be mine officially and me yours" Molly said.

"That can wait," he replied.

"No. My dad's going to talk to your dad about it soon " Molly said.

"What? " Eric asked.

"Yes baby. I have missed you so much " Molly said.

"Don't you want to get married to me? " She asked.

"It's not that.. But.. " Eric said but decided to shut up.

Molly went closer to him and kissed him.

Eric hesitated before kissing her back.

But she felt nothing in the kiss. It was empty.

No love, no passion, no desire... Nothing at all.

"What's happening Eric? " Molly asked.

"This is not how you kiss me," she complained.

"I'm sorry Molly but I'm not in the mood " Eric told her.

"You? What? " Molly exclaimed

"You love my kisses " she said and kissed him again.

This time he kissed back. It was better than before. He got carried away and started romancing her body.

Then suddenly Eric stopped.

"How was your trip? " he asked.

Molly looked at him. She was confused.

"Why this? " She asked.

"You never told me how it went, " Eric replied nonchalantly.

"Baby. We can always talk about this later " Molly pleaded.

"But you would soon start leaving, " he replied.

"No, I'm spending the night here, " Molly announced.

"Why? "Eric asked.

"Because I want to. Remember some of my things are still in your room " Molly replied.

"But.. " Eric started to say but Molly interrupted him.

"No buts baby. I miss you. Don't you miss me? " She asked seductively.

She kissed him again. This time he kissed her back without hesitation. The kiss went on for a long time.

****

Katrina felt hurt and jealous as she watched them kiss.

Yeah! She didn't go to her room, instead she hid somewhere watching everything that was going on.

So Molly was sleeping over tonight, she's going to be Eric all through the night.

Katrina became angry. But she shouldn't be.

It's normal, like this was not the first time Molly was sleeping over. Katrina used to be less bothered if she slept over or not but why was she so angry now?

She directed her anger towards Eric.

He shouldn't have kissed her!!!

They were still kissing and Katrina felt hurt. Her eyes became blurred with unshed tears.

"Snap out of it Katrina " she said to herself.

Then she walked to her room angrily and slammed the door behind her.
