Rita's POV

The next morning, I'm awakened by the loud sound of a door being slammed shut. I open my eyes, temporarily disoriented and in a haze, as I look around me. I notice the room is empty and slowly memories of last night return to me.

I look to the bathroom door which is shut closed and a moment later I hear the sound of the shower coming on. I quickly go to the guest bathroom and wash my face before handling my hygiene.

Feeling like a robot, I walk into the kitchen and prepare some coffee before I begin making breakfast. Since it's Saturday morning, I decide to make some toast, sausages, coffee and eggs for the hangover that Cameron will surely have.

So I quickly begin cooking, choosing to bury myself in that rather than my thoughts on last night's incident. I decide there and then that I am going to ask Cameron about it but in all honesty I do not know how to go about that.

With a sigh, I begin plating the now well fried egg and begin frying the sausages. I am halfway through that when I feel strong arms come around my waist.

"Good morning, baby." Cam whispers into my ear. I can smell the sweet scent of his soap and contrasting smell of the after shave he used.

For a minute I am tempted to lean into him and allow my body to burrow deeper into his strong arms. But, instead I force myself to pull away and move. "Good morning."

I hear him release a tiny sigh but I ignore him choosing instead to concentrate on the task before me.

"I'm sorry about last night, baby. The guys wanted to hang out since it's been a while so we went to a bar in Lekki." He tells me somberly, his fingers pinching at the bridge of his nose.

"I'm not upset you went out with your friends to unwind, Cam." I say and I can see the look of confusion on the his face in my peripheral.

"So why are you upset?" He asks moving to wrap his arms around my waist again. This time, I allow him, unable to resist the feel of his warm muscular body against me.

I let out a small sigh. For a moment, I don't want to ask him of why he came home reeking of alcohol and a woman's perfume anymore. I just want to let it go. But I know that if I say it's nothing, he'll know I'm lying and then he won't be happy. We had promised each other absolute honesty, about everything.

"Why did you come home smelling of a woman's perfume last night, Cam?" I ask as calmly as I can, in a neutral voice.

He stiffens behind me for some seconds before replying. "The guys had a different idea of a fun time and brought along some ladies, but I left before anything really went down. It must have been the perfume of one of those ladies when the were trying to get me to stay." He pauses before using his hand to turn me around. I look straight behind him, avoiding his eyes as he moves to switch off the gas cooker now behind me.

"Nothing happened last night." Cameron says firmly, before bringing his hand up to move my face so I can look at him directly and see the sincerity in his eyes. "Nothing happened. I left before anything could. Baby, how could I have all this at home and look elsewhere?" He asks me, his hand gliding over the arch of my back before eventually stopping at my ass. He squeezes a bit before continuing, "I would never. I could never." He moves his lips to my neck, right on my spot, and begins with slow kisses there before turning ravenous making me let out small moans.

"So fucking sexy." His hand comes up to my breast, squeezing the flesh in his hand before tugging at my nipple firmly. I lick my dry lips, biting on the bottom one to stop the moans from coming out. He uses his other hand on my back to push me into him before taking my lips in a hungry kiss. I immediately open my mouth allowing his tongue to thrust in, fighting mine for dominance. Finally, he pulls away but he doesn't give himself time to breathe. Cameron directs me to the island, behind him and sits me on it. He tugs on the little nightie I had on and pulls my panties down impatiently.

"Lie down, baby." He instructs me and I immediately do so, anticipating his next move. He pulls the nightie up completely, leaving below my waist bare, and opens my legs wide. I immediately feel the cold gust of air on my skin which contrasts to the hot air coming from him as he lowers his head there, taking me in with deep breathes.

Cameron lets out a small strained chuckle before I hear him mutter under his breathe, "How the fuck can I have this and look elsewhere?" That is the last thing I hear him say, before he buries his tongue deep inside me forcing a loud moan out of me.

As I shut my eyes closed tightly, it was needless to say that my suspicions were out the door.

.....

After several rounds of love making and taking breaks in between, Cameron excuses himself to his study to work for a bit. I didn't mind at all. I was already sore and highly sated, a smile on my face and my head on cloud nine.

The sheets were all tangled up and I was laying naked underneath the duvet on the verge of falling asleep when the loud ring of my phone cut through the silence.

I let out a small groan before going to get it and without going to take a look at the caller ID, I say, "Hello?"

"Rita!" I hear Rachel exclaim, her voice filled with joy. "Are you busy?"

"Good morning to you too. And no, I'm not. Why?"

"It's afternoon." She corrects. "Can you come get me? I'm at your parent's house." She says in a whisper.

I roll my eyes at that. "They are your parents too, Rachel."

"Well, can you come get me? I have a party I have to attend tonight and mom is saying that I can't go out. Can you come take me to your place so I can get ready and leave from there? I promise to babysit your first child for free whenever necessary." She says pleadingly and I let out a loud laugh.

"What is wrong with you, this girl? Do you have a choice anyway? I'm going to come get you, but I hope you are not in a hurry though, cause I haven't showered." I tell her.

"By this time? It's almost 2." She informs me. "What have you been doing since morning?" She pauses, waiting for me to answer her but instead my silence does and she lets out a laugh. "I'm not even gonna say anything about that because I need you to do me this favor. See you in two hours, tops." She rushes out before hanging up.

I shake my head with a grin on my face before getting out of bed to run myself a bath. I languidly wash up before getting dressed in a plain white t-shirt with a crew neck and blue denim booty shorts. I finish the look with mid length white adidas socks and a pair of neon green balenciaga sneakers and a black mini hand bag.

Before leaving I go to Cameron's study. I knock on the door lightly.

"Come in." I hear him say from the other side before I push it open. He eyes me from head to toe, his gaze lingering on my bare legs for a moment too long before going to my face. "Where are you off to?"

I move in and take a seat opposite his Blackwood office table. "Rachel wants to stay with us tonight. She has a party to attend tonight and mom isn't letting her."

He laughs at that before nodding. "Sure. That's fine."

I stand up and go to his side of the desk with the intent of pressing a kiss on his cheek but instead Cameron pulls me down on his lap, and then proceeds to devour my lips with his hand at the back of my head holding me in place.

It takes a lot of my willpower to finally pull away from him, but eventually, I do, and soon I am on my way to pick Rachel up.

When I arrive at my parent's house, I find my mom in the kitchen. After exchanging pleasantries, I ask the maid to call Rachel while I chat with my mom for a bit.

"Why exactly is she going to your place?" Mom asks, probably hoping to get something out of me.

"It's been a while since I've seen her." I lie as I take a seat on a dinning chair. "She was feeling down because you said she couldn't go for the party she wanted to attend so I just thought she and I could hang out. You know, eat some junk food, have a movie marathon."

"And what does Cameron think about this little girl's night?" Mom asks as she drops a cup full of chilled sprite for me on the table.

I wave my hand dismissively. "Cameron is fine with it."

Mom stares at me suspiciously for a minute before sitting down on the chair beside me. "Alright then."

Rachel comes down then with a big hand bag and an LV box in tow behind her. "Hey sis." She comes and pulls me into a hug before whispering in my ear. "Thanks for this."

"Rachel, it's just a night, do you really need all that stuff?" Mom asks, staring at the box warily.

"Yes, I do. I need my bathing and face care products, I can't do without them. Anyway, Rita and I have to go so I'll see you later, Mommy." She gives her a kiss on her cheek before heading for the door.

Mom let's out a sigh before walking to the counter only to return with something in her hand. "This is an invite to a party at the Adelekes'. They sent it here for you and Cameron. There are going to be a lot of important people in attendance at the party and I think it'll be good for Cameron to meet them. It's next Sunday."

I nod before collecting the envelope. "Thanks, Mom." I quickly give her a peck before heading to the door. "See you later."

I head back to the car to see a jolly Rachel standing by the door looking impatient.
