(EPISODE 2) THE PEAK OF LOVE: AN EDUCATIVE TALE

EPISODE 2

Daniel felt pleased with life. Within only a question of days of his new marriage Heritage had faded out of his memory. He felt elated like a young bridegroom, no man could be luckier than himself, he thought. At fifty when most men were faced with a monotonous routine of life, his was just beginning to brighten up, luck was certainly on his side. His top post as general manager of a famous bank, his immaculate white Mercedes car, his imposing White House, two brilliant children overseas and now to crown it all a very beautiful young wife who had rejected marriage even from eligible bachelors and had eye for him alone, getting married again wasn't bad after all.

It was nine in the morning. Daniel placed his left hand gently and tenderly on Sophia his new wife’s right cheek which was soft and smooth. The “hm” sound came first then she opened her eyes and smiled out a greeting.
“Good morning my love.”
“Good morning dearest,” came Daniel’s warm reply. “You slept well, didn’t you?” Daniel added romantically.
“Yes and what about you?” She questioned lovingly.
“I slept very well and dreamt of you, oh am so happy” Daniel replied
“Yes, darling, we shall always be happy. Until death part us,” replied Sophia.
Daniel shuddered as Sophia mentioned the word death; he did not want to be reminded that even death had the power to part them.
“No not even death can part us,” Daniel replied huskily.

He held Sophia close under the sheet, like a two-year-old clinging desperately to his toy for fear of being parted from it. Still holding her tight he felt an insurgent of passion. He slipped his impatient, eager hands under her lovely pink nightie and crushed her to his bossom as he trembled with a delightful expectation of what was to follow. Sophia’s legs and arms wound round Daniel’s body and her heels clung feverishly to his spine. She yielded her whole body and soul to his love making and they both got drowned in a deep wave of passion. Sophia’s fruit was too sweet and tempting, the more he tasted it, the more he desired it, Sophia had fantastic styles in bed, styles which he had enjoyed during his six month-stay in Britain. They both remained on bed till noon, chattering happily like two excited kids, full of contentment and bliss.

Daniel got out of bed first, and went to get the bath ready for Sophia. She had a nice, long, refreshing bath after which she began to get dressed for lunch. She took endless pain with her hair and make up making sure she is well preened as if she had all the time in the world. Daniel had a shower and within a few minutes was ready for lunch but waited patiently for Sophia to finish dressing. He brought out the car when Sophia was nearly ready and then came back to fetch her. He opened the door of the car for Sophia and closed it behind her then got behind the wheel and drove off to a very expensive restaurant.

At the restaurant they ordered prawn cocktails, veal escalope and trifle for desert. The lunching room was spotlessly clean and whiteness of the table contacted beautifully with the different shades of red drawn full length and the soft carpet. Sophia was enjoying herself as usual, she loved the sophisticated and exquisite atmosphere, the soft sentimental music drifting in as if from heaven and filling the whole room with romance, the cool air, the white and red uniformed waiters who were always at their beck and call, with the ever ready “yes ma’am”, ”thank you ma’am”, ”no ma’am” on their lips. She enjoyed the attention of the waiters and the fuss the make to satisfy them, coupled with the oceans of congratulations she received. As usual Sophia’s vanity was inflamed, that was one of the moments when her admiration for Daniel increased. She loved him for being her passport to such high class places. ’Dear, dear Daniel’ Sophia mused.

Daniel drove Sophia round the estate for fresh air and finally made their way into a garden for sight seeing. The moon did not shine but the stars twinkled in the dark sky ,the atmosphere was breezy and every object that surrounded them was shouting romance. They later went home and made passionate love.
