Chapter 992 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“What egg?” He asked, and she looked at him, wriggling her brows suggestively as she waited for him to figure out what she was talking about.

“C’mon Celsie. I have a lot in my head right now and can’t play guessing games…”

“Really? I guess you’re not interested enough, then. One would think you’d easily guess the egg I’m talking about since it’s the only one in this room,” Celsie said with a pout, and Benne looked at her for a moment before his eyes widened in disbelief.

“The vibrator?” He asked, and she grinned as she bobbed her head, surprising him even more.

“But you said you didn’t want to put any inanimate thing inside you when I asked you to do it (

“Well, that was then. I want to give it a try now. I want us to try something new,” She said with a grin, and Benne watched her in disbelief.

“Jewel…”

“You didn’t discard it, did you?” She asked, and he shook his head.

“Good. We can always try it some other time. The evening is ruined already. I mean, you are upset, and I don’t think you’re up for any of this, so I should probably let you sleep…” She let the rest of her words trail off with a pout as she batted her lashes at him.

“No fucking way!” Benne exclaimed, making Celsie giggle.

“Where are you learning all this from?” Benne asked in amusement.

“I suppose it comes naturally to me. Tell me, how do you feel now?” Celsie asked, and Benne smiled.

“It’s hard to remain upset when you are like this,” He said, and she smiled, pleased that he was okay.

“Good. I’m glad that you feel better now. I’m going to be Sonia’s maid of honor, you know? And it is my duty to make sure everything goes smoothly. Candace informed me they would be leaving for Sogal by weekend, and since she came over tonight so we can all plan the wedding, I need to make sure we all stick to the plan so that her leaving Jamal tonight wouldn’t be in vain,” Celsie said, and Benne nodded.

“Alright. I will wait up for you as promised earlier,” He said, and she smiled.

“I think we need to relieve the tension since everyone is sort of upset. So, why don’t you come downstairs as well? I will gather everyone together,” She suggested, and Benne raised a brow.

“And the egg?” He asked, and she grinned.

“That’s the fun part. I’m going to put it on, and you can operate the remote controller while we are out there. I’d love to see how much self-control I have,” Celsie said, and Benne chuckled.

“I would love to see that, too,” He said with a grin.

“Alright. Go get it, and I will put it on before going out to gather the others. I also think you should give your dad a call before you come downstairs. Only you can calm him right now,” Celsie said, and Benne merely smiled as he looked at her, letting his gaze convey his thoughts.

He felt like he had run out of compliments to give to her. She was amazing in every way possible.

A couple of minutes later, Benne watched as Celsie inserted the egg inside her, and immediately after she was done adjusting her clothes, he pressed the power button as he had always wanted to do, and Celsie gasped when she felt the vibration, making them both laugh.

“How does it feel inside you? Does it feel like me?” He asked, and she shook her head.

“No. It feels weird walking around with this, but I’m sure I will adjust soon enough,” She said as she headed for the door.

“I’m going out now. Be careful with that, and don’t let the others see it,” She warned, and he grinned.

“Sure,” He promised as he watched her leave.

Once she shut the door behind her, Benne sat on the bed and sighed as he thought about what he had overheard her and Sonia say earlier before he could walk into the bedroom.

So, he had not been wrong, and she was becoming more open to the idea of getting married to him? What changed? Was it because of Kimberly and Dawn? He mused.

Hearing that had contributed most to the uplifting of his mood, and even though he had really wanted to ask her about it earlier, he had decided not to since she had made it clear to Sonia that she wanted to wait until after her therapy before discussing it with him.

He was going to patiently wait for her until she was ready to talk to him about it. And while waiting, he was going to be the best and most supportive boyfriend he could possibly be to her and give her even more reasons to want to marry him, Benne decided happily.

The moment Jade walked into her bedroom, she picked up her phone, which was lying on the bed, and just as she had expected, she saw that she had missed two calls from Harry.

She decided to first return Harry’s call before speaking with her mother.

The phone rang for some time before Harry received the call, making her raise a brow, “What took you so long?”

“I just got out of the shower. I’m surprised you called back. For a moment there, I thought you were deliberately ignoring my call because you were mad at me,” Harry said as he towel-dried his hair.

Jade rolled her eyes, “What happened is hardly enough reason for me not to want to talk to you,” She said with a pout as she sat on the bed as if Harry could see her.

“Yet you didn’t deem it fit to say you love me or bid me goodnight,” Harry pointed out.

“That was because you left the way you did. You made me feel like I was nagging, and you couldn’t wait to leave,” She said, and Harry sighed.

“That wasn’t my intention. You seemed like you wanted to fight…”

“We are saying the same thing, are we not? I wasn’t fighting with you, but you made it look like that was what I was doing. And then you left just like that,” Jade cut in.

“I was really exhausted, esquire. I barely slept last night, and I’ve been busy all day. I could have gone home directly after work, but I wanted to see beautiful you, and then we ran into Sara, and my mood almost got ruined, but you fixed it. It has been a really long day for me, and all I wanted was to end it on a pleasant note with you, but you wanted to fight over something unnecessary,” Harry said, and Jade scowled.

“I didn’t want to fight, and my annoyance wasn’t unnecessary. But fine. I’ve heard you. Let’s not stress you anymore by arguing over it. It’s past now,” Jade said, and Harry smiled.
