Flames of love
‘Good morning My love, How was your night?” He asked as soon as she answered the call.
‘You can tell I had the best night ever ‘ she giggled .
‘ How is Cindy? Hope she’s better?’ He asked.
‘Yes, she’s leaving to confirm if what we said yesterday was true ‘ she declared as she waved to Cindy who just entered her car.
‘ So your home alone?’ He asked almost in whispers.
‘ Yeah!’.
‘Get ready am sending my driver to come pick you up’ he said before the call ended.
She was dumbfounded but blushed at the thought of him missing her this early.
She rushed upstairs as she quickly took her bath and got dressed.
She was just applying her lip gloss when she heard the sound of a car in the driveway, she paused to listen if it was his driver. After a while of waiting , she concluded it wasn’t him and stood up to get breakfast when she heard the door bell.
She rushed to get it and saw an unfamiliar face.
‘Miss Rhea?’ He said sharply.
He was dressed in a driver’s uniform with some sort of identity card inserted at the top right hand corner of his shirt. She quickly guessed it was his driver.
‘ Yes, Am Rhea’ she answered firmly.
‘I was ordered by my boss to get you’ he said as he produced a paper with ‘ GET MISS RHEA’ boldly written on it.
Rhea tried hard to suppress a chuckle as she read it.
Dementrio was probably the craziest guy i have met, she thought.
‘ Hold on, Give me five minutes and I will be done ‘ she said in a plea.
‘I will be waiting for you in the car , ma’am ‘ he bowed as he walked away.
She turned to go inside to get her purse when she remembered she hadn’t taken breakfast but she smiled over it.
She could eat at Dementrio’s house.
In less than 2 minutes she was already out of the house and was walking towards the car. The e driver got alerted and raced to get the door for her.
From her expression, you could tell she was really impressed.
She settled in the car while the driver got to his seat and he immediately zoomed off.

They arrived to meet Dementrio waiting for them in the Living room.
He looked quite worried which impressed Rhea.
He was obviously missing her, she thought.
The driver left immediately leaving them staring hard at each other .
It was not after few minutes that it occurred to Dementrio that they were metres apart.
He walked over to her with beaming smiles as she gleamed in happiness.
‘You look more beautiful each time I see you Rhea’ he complimented as he kissed each of her cheeks.
She blushed hard as she squeezed her face.
‘ it’s barely 9am In the morning and your already requesting me to come over. Is it not too early?’ she asked with faked impatience.
‘ I missed you Rhea and was really worried about you. I was quite scared yesterday ‘ he whispered in her ears .
She grinned widely as his voice sent electrifying chills to her body .
‘Am Hungry and I want to make something ‘ she said as she turned to leave but then the warm hands of Dementrio stopped her.
He moved closer to cover the distance between them as he stared at her eyes making her twitch and her heart beating fast .
‘Are you scared?’ He asked as he gently removed the black hair that had covered her pretty eyes.
She said nothing as her eyes locked to his stern eyeballs.
Those eyes which were now lovable.
‘ I need to check on Cindy’ she said freeing her grip as she raced to get her phone.
She picked up her phone and dialed Cindy’s contact number but the call didn’t go through. She tried again thinking probably it was network till she felt a gentle drag .
Dementrio drew her closer to himself as he gently removed the phone from her hands.
She tried to say something but the soft fingers of his hands stopped her from speaking.
‘ Cindy is fine. She’s more brave than you are ‘ he said as he gently placed the phone on the table.
‘ What! That’s not true at all. Am just like Cindy’s security guard. I protect her from every guy who tries to hurt her’ she retorted which made Dementrio laugh in mockery.
She didn’t take it lightly as she made a sad face and faked tears.
At first he didn’t want to give her any attention but then her lovely pretty eyes drew him close.
He promised never to make her cry for any reason.
‘ Am sorry my love ‘ he whispered as he embraced her.
She gave him a bright smile as she hugged him tightly.
‘I love you so much Rhea ‘ He declared as he squeezed her lovingly.
They stayed like that for a while before Dementrio freed himself as he carried her to the kitchen.
‘Wow, your kitchen is pretty amazing ‘ she admired as she looked around in awe.
‘ I spend alot of time here more than I do in my office ‘ he said as he searched in the cupboards for something.
It got a pack of pasta as he looked around to get more if the items but then his eyes met with the unbelievable look from Rhea.
‘You don’t believe me?’ .
‘You love cooking?’ she asked ignoring his questions.
He nodded as she tried to hide her disbelief with a smile.
‘ It’s really quite shocking ‘ she muttered to his hearing.
‘Yeah, I know ‘ he replied still searching.
‘ So… what are you making?’
‘ I really wanted to make Pasta but it will take some time and I guess your probably too hungry, so I will just stick with pan cakes ‘ he explained.
‘ Would you tell me the truth?’ she asked softly.
‘The truth about what?’.
‘ The fact I can’t cook’.
Her face made him roll in laughter as he got closer to hug her.
‘ You should see your face Rhea. Am not concerned about your cooking skills’ .
Hearing his words made her feel relieved.
He started off wearing an apron, she offered to help but her request was bluntly refused all she do was watch him.
She observed him as she watched his every moment, she noticed something.
Dementrio never looked like his brother, they didn’t even have anything similar like skin colour or any hereditary features.
Maybe he took after his father while Damien took after his mum, she thought.
The thought about his mum made her realized that he had never spoken anything about his mum.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
She thought if it was a good idea to talk about her now but immediately shrugged the idea off.
There was no way she would spoil their romantic moment together.
Whatever it was must have to wait!
‘Take have some ‘ he offered to feed her.
She accepted as she opened her mouth, she couldn’t deny the fact it was really delicious.
‘Its really delicious. Can’t decide if your pan cakes tastes better than Cindy’s ‘ she blurted.
He smiled at her remark as he got closer allowing his eyes lock in her pretty gaze before bending forth to kiss her on the lips.
She maintained composure as she kissed him .
At first it was softly but then their emotions prevailed and their tongues were already locked in each other’s mouth. Their hands were not left out.
Dementrio allowed his hands to feel the softness of her butt while her hands were gently romancing his soft hair.
They continued their act for a while before Rhea choked.
She freed herself only to realize something was burning.
**********
The drive back home was filled with painful memories, she couldn’t believe she had been deceived all the while.
She had been used as a pun and had played with an innocent person.
All she could think of at that point was drinking out her pain or maybe smoking it out.
She thought for a while as she thought of the idea of informing Rhea who she knew would be worried about her.
Rhea would be the best person to talk to and she probably knew how to put a smile on her face again.
She got her phone as she dialed her number and to her surprised she answered immediately on the first ring.
‘How are you? I have been so worried about you’ she said with sincerity.
‘ Am really sorry for making you worry about me, Rhea you really don’t know how bad am feeling now ‘ she said as tears dropped from her eyes.
‘ Where are you. Hope your not driving or drinking?’ she asked cautiously.
‘ I wish I was drinking Rhea, maybe I could forget how terrible I am’ she sobbed hard.
‘ Tell me where you are?’
‘ Close to the 15th Avenue ‘ she answered.
‘Alright don’t make a move, am coming right now ‘ she ordered and dropped the call immediately.
‘Is she okay?’ Dementrio asked.
‘No, she’s far from okay and am worried about her . I don’t want her to start drinking.
‘ Okay, Let me come together with you’ he offered.
‘ No, it’s no problem, I will go with your driver’s she said bluntly as she grabbed her purse
He looked at her hurt without saying anything . She grabbed her purse and turned to leave when she stopped like she forgot something.
She ran to embrace him as she whispered.
‘ I love you’ .
She raced off immediately leaving the once cold hearted Dementrio giggling.
