Purple Romance

Chapter 21: Feeling Him Up

It was a quiet and peaceful night for Maria as she lied on the beach and stretched her legs towards the water allowing the waves to brush the water to her foot. It made her feet cold and nice as she gazed at the stars that scattered all over the dark sky.

She was at the beach Ad-Din brought her the last time. She was laying on a cloth that Ad-Din brought with him. Ad-Din had gone to bring her some drinks from the beach bar at a distance away.

Maria closed her eyes and suddenly felt a man's lips on her and smiled. Ad-Din bent down and pecked her lips before joining her on the cloth. They laid close to each other and watched the stars.

''This is so nice''. Ad-Din said as he moved further closer to Maria

''What is?'' Maria asked and looked at him.

''This. Us here, together. I used to find evenings boring but since I met you, it has become so nice to look forward to every evening to spend time with you. Maria, I promise to make our relationship known and show you to the world as soon as I complete. I don't mind doing that now but, I have to think about you first. The world will be ready to criticise and ostracise you first when everyone finds out about us. I don't want anyone to look down on you or call you names because of me". Ad-Din said sincerely to her.

''I know''. Maria shifted her body and laid half of it on Ad-Din's chest and they looked at each other. ''You have my interest at heart. I am lucky to have you''.

Ad-Din took one of the beer and opened it. He handed it over to Maria. Maria sat up and took the beer and sipped. She made a buzzing sound saying "this drives all my worries away. Have you heard of this song before?" Maria asked.

"What song?" Ad-Din asked.

"You do something to me that I can't explain

Hold me closer and I feel no pain

Every beat of my heart, we got something going" Maria sang the song as she held the beer closer to her chest.

Ad-Din looked at her and shook his head saying "that's just a song an alcoholic like you would sing"

"You are such party popper" Maria said and frowned.

''You said you were lucky to have me Show me how lucky you are then''. Ad-Din said and pushed Maria down getting on top of her. He kissed her and the can fell down and the beer spilled. The first kiss was slow then it got aggressive and then he slowed again before picking up his speed. It was like he was teasing her purposefully and she grew hungrier for him.

Now she understood what Lexis said at the caf today. She was melting slowly in his embrace. Maria subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist. Ad-Din smiled and pulled her unto his laps as he deepened the kiss.

Maria felt her body been lowered further into the ground and a thought crossed her mind Shereally want to sleep with this boy. Were they going to go further?

The sudden realisation hit Maria so hard that she instinctively pushed Ad-Din away and sat up with a flustered face.

Ad-Din was surprised and caught off guard so he fell on his arm and hissed.

Maria turned and looked at him.

''Ah, Ad-Din are you alright? Are you hurt? I am sorry. I don't know what came over me''. Maria helped Ad-Din to sit up but his arm hurt badly and he hissed trying to contain the pain.

''What happened to you, Maria? Why did you suddenly push me away?''. Ad-Din asked her worriedly.

Maria felt so ashamed of herself at that moment. She couldn't tell him she was already having dirty thoughts about him. Maria pursed her lips and stood up.

''You are hurt. Let's go to the hospital''. Maria helped Ad-Din to the passenger seat.

''Can you drive?'' Ad-Din asked.

''I have a licence but I haven't driven in a long time''. Maria said and sat on the driver's seat.

''Then, let's call a designated driver''. Ad-Din suggested.

''No, it will be long before they get here. You are in pain. I will send you to the nearest hospital'' Maria said and started the car.

''My uncle lives not far from here. He is a doctor. I will give you the address''.

30 minutes later.

Maria was in the middle of the road driving like a turtle while other cars were blowing their horns behind them. She was extremely slow and didn't know much about the car she was even driving.

It was excruciating for Ad-Din as he watched the little woman beside him.

''Maria, you are making it hard on the other drivers. Can you go a little faster?''

Ad-Din said as he leaned on the seat.

''This is already considered fast. How fast do you want me to go again? I have to take safety precautions on the road. The other cars are just disturbing because I'm been careful. One can never be too careful when it comes to driving.

But, are you okay? You seem to be in a lot of pain?'' Maria asked and turned to look at him. She didn't notice the truck ahead of her.

Ad-Din saw the truck and immediately stretched his arm and held the wheel shifting the car to another lane.

''Watch where you are going, Maria''. Ad-Din screamed at her.

''Oh. I got this. I can handle this much. That truck driver was just in a hurry that's all. I didn't see him coming just down''.

''Will you drive properly, you lazy woman?'' A driver drove to their side and screamed at Maria.

'What the f**k, you scared me?'' Maria rolled her window and screamed back at the driver.

At that moment, Ad-Din didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She was in the wrong yet she acted as if she was wronged. He couldn't help but think that she and Calia somehow had the same temperament.

''You shouldn't scream like that on the road, mister? This is government property not your personal road. Can you be more courteous to other drivers?'' Maria shouted at the driver.

''My words exactly, woman. My words exactly''. The other driver said angrily at Maria.

"Whoa!! Mister, why are you screaming and yelling? Don't you know is wrong to yell at a woman driving?" Maria yelled back feeling wronged.

"If you don't know how to drive, just pulled over and get a cab or something. Why are you inconveniencing everyone? Look at the way you're driving? Are you a snail? Even a chameleon can walk faster than what you're doing?"

The driver said back and Maria angrily banged her fist on the steering wheel and replied back. She wasn't about to back away and let the driver have the last say.

"Snail? Chameleon? Mister, mind your words. Aren't you afraid of been crossed by a snail or a chameleon?"

My words exactly, woman, get out of the road" The driver shouted once more and shook his head before driving away.

''Tsk!!! His words exactly? What? Is he calling me an unreasonable person? Ad-Din, am I an unreasonable person?'' Maria asked feeling wronged.

Ad-Din shook his head ''you are not''.

''Right. I am such a nice person. How dare he call me unreasonable and throw my own words back at me?'' Maria said.

Ad-Din almost said the other driver was saying the truth but changed his mind because saying that would have caused a serious confusion between them.

Maria was already nervous, so if he said anything unpleasant, it would tick her off immediately. She was even cussing the driver. Ad-Din shook his head

''Maria, can you drive a little faster. My arm hurts a lot''. Ad-Din winced.

''Oh, sorry. I will drive faster. This is all that driver's fault. Making me lose my concentration''

.

....

They soon arrived at a farm house not far from the city. Maria got down and helped Ad-Din. She allowed him to lean on her body as they walked into the house.

Ad-Din's uncle, Mr. Gideon saw them and rushed forward worriedly and surprised.

''Ad-Din? What happened to you, boy? How did you get your arm dislocated?''

Mr. Gideon said and helped Ad-Din to the sofa.

Maria looked at Ad-Din and remained quiet before Ad-Din spoke ''I fell down and hurt myself''.

''Oh, let me check and see how hurt it is''. Mr. Gideon said and looked at Maria asking ''who is she?''

''She is Maria, my''

''Girlfriend?'' Mr. Gideon interrupted him.

''Yes, she is my girlfriend''. Ad-Din said and used the one hand to pull Maria to his side. Maria sat close to him blushing.

"I see, Maria can you help me bandage his arm? I need to apply some force to it and correct the dislocation" Mr. Gideon said and Maria nodded her head and sat beside Ad-Din.
