Sacrifice

Chapter 20

I kept talking with the girls, more like they kept talking, reminiscing about the old school days, I paid little attention, I just kept searching the crowd for Peter couldn't see him, am worried he knows nobody here and might be bored. Am also worried the ladies will be all over him, he is barely 20 so he is sex on stick, with the thought of girls around him, I made my move to find him.
"Excuse me ladies" I said as I slowly stood up.
"You stay a moment away from him" Ifeoma said I just smiled.
'Better hold him tight, he is such a temptation " Cassandra chipped in. I smiled and walked away.
I kept searching but couldn't find him. Its as if he isn't in the hall.
I then brought out my phone to call him, wasn't paying attention where am heading to, I collided with someone, but before I could fall the person caught me and drew me up.
"Easy there heavy" he said, I smiled as the familiar lemon smell hits me.
"Peter" I said smuggling closer to him, its then I notice the music playing and from my peripheral vision people were dancing.
"One and only" he said, with his signature ever charming smile. The song it not familiar to me but its slow song, not that slow, but not hip hop either, since the party consist of older students, the ones that graduated before us.
"So you want to dance around with this heavy" I said as I waltz around.
He chuckle " yes heavy" he looked at my stomach, but will keep my distance though" he said, I smiled, but didn't really want the distance, it baffled me how he never tried anything funny all the nights we have been together, at first I thought he is not a man, until I woke at night and saw his morning wood. He is really big, I giggled as I remember the dirty stuff I thought of whenever I wake at night and see it.
"What's funny" he asked.
"Nothing, just love being here" I said and he smiled.
"Me too, I rather be here than anywhere else" he said, why would he say that giving me all this feelings, making me fall deeper.
We dance for a little while, then went for the refreshment, everybody welcomed him and all want to speak to him.
"You guys are too young for marriage" a man said, I remember him, I was in Jss 1 when he graduated.
"I suppose, but love made me so eager" Peter answered rubbing my back, I have no idea why his rubbing my back, but am also sure he have no idea how it affects me.
"Am so jealous of you" a lady said, I don't know her, but I can see the black ring around her eyes, even though she try concealing it with her make up.
"Thanks" I said since I have nothing else to say, everybody kept chatting, Peter being a guy that hardly talk didn't contribute much, me am so in cloud nine with the way he rubs my back and takes extra care of me.

When we got home I was super tired so I slept off after taking my bath, he then took care of things, I wish he is the one really responsible, that was my thought as I drifted off to sleep.
