The next few days I made sure that Nancy always had a smile on her face, if she was mad at me, I was now positively sure that anger no longer existed. I pleasured her and learnt her body, knowing just the right amount of pleasure to give her before she faints and other times I would push her limits, training her body to take more and more pleasure I gave it. It was new for me, usually I would take a woman and get my pleasure but with Nancy, I wanted her to experience it and with only me. I desired more time with her like I desired her body, yet even with my ill desires, I had to work.

Come at the beginning of the week, I informed Nancy that I would be going to the metropolitan for a week to see my cousin about a business opportunity. I informed her if I got it, I would be securing more ample income. She seemed happy for me at fast but as the day of my travel approached, her mood began to sink. I comforted her, telling her I will call her every chance I got. She grew mad and angry demanding whether I'll be with another woman in the city. Her jealousy made me joyous that I had won some of her affection to warrant such concern. Despite her anger making me happy, I proved to her that there is no other woman in the metropolis, all night long.

My day to travel came, and Nancy escorted me to the local railway station. As the train was about to depart, we hugged, not wanting to let go and as the final honk come, I gave her a quick kiss and got in the train. I took a seat near the window, looking at her as the train sprang into motion. She waved her eyes teary. My legs were shaking, like they desired nothing but to walk back into her arms, yet as her figure come at a distance, a knot formed at my heart and I wished she was next to me.

The pivotal meeting with my dear cousin went well but all to quick as the company to take me on was performing interviews. My conscious thoughts were not one of 'job nervousness' but of Nancy nervousness. I thought about her, a lot, looked at her picture often and wondered what she was doing. I passed the interview and went on to the training stage. I was glad but not happy to be close to get a job that would take my chosen profession to the next level. During the training sessions, I thought about Nancy and always looked at the clock, waiting for the session to be over just to go back to my room and hear the sound of her voice. I talked to her every single day for more than an hour, yet I felt the distance was killing me. Every time I would hang up the phone, I would look to the space next to my bed and wish she was there, and every time I did that I would look at the bedside clock and count the days and hours she would be in my arms again.

A dinner courtesy of my cousin gave me chills as in the middle of dinner, he snapped his fingers in front of my face laughing. In a teasing tone, he asked who the lucky lady was. I feigned foolishness and he elaborated how deep in my thoughts I was, staring out of nothing and poking at my overpriced food. I laughed, saying it was merely nothing. He let the matter go but later stared at me when I disappeared into space again. I laughed, but he said nothing of it till the end of the night when he hugged me goodbye and said I was a lucky bastard. I thought nothing of it until I lay in my bed alone at night and thought of Nancy. As the bedside clock ticked, I knew my time for going home was near and I couldn't wait.

Then the realization hit me and sat up in my bed. I was swooning over a girl, missing her, desiring her and wanting her. I stood up, pacing the room. No, it couldn't be. No, I just like spending time with her, nothing else. I just wanted to show her- I groaned, knowing that whatever excuse I come with it will lead to the same result. I was falling for Nancy. Yet, even when the answer swept through my mind, I couldn't help but ponder how I came to be this situation. I paced as I thought, thoughts of sweet Nancy. Her eyes, her face, her perfect body. I ran a hand over my face and sat, thinking of the time I spent with Nancy, and as my mind drifted to the past so did my manhood and when it became rock hard I laughed.

The reason for all this was Nancy was different. Unlike every other woman, I took my time with her or better yet didn't take her at all. It was then I realized that I have gotten attached because I didn't have sex with her from the beginning. Maybe this would change if I did as I planned from the very first, have sex with her and walk her out my door wishing her all the best. I was still missing her, yet I knew in order to sort my attachment out, I would have to lay with her. With that decision in mind, I went back to bed but sleep didn't come easy that night.

Despite my decision to change my relationship status with Nancy, I took my lunch break to go to the nearest market and shop a souvenir for her. I kept telling myself there was nothing to it even as I chose a lovely teddy bear for her. I was far deep in my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice shout. I thought I was dreaming, when I heard it again. I turned, shocked to see Claire's husband and more shocked to see him chasing after a woman, who wasn't Claire. He reached her, and they seemed to be in a heated discussion then she shoved him away but then he grabbed her slamming a kiss on her on the side of the road. The kiss went from demanding to passionate, and they entangled for the lengthiest time, not seeming to care they were putting a display for the passersby on the side of the road.

He never showed such affection to Claire, and I wondered why. As I took a better look at the attractive woman, I knew instantly from the rendezvous dressing she was a nightly business woman. Why would he prefer her to charming Claire? I slept with her, and she lacked nothing in the bedroom, in fact she was adventurous. That woman couldn't hold a candle to her. After their passionate kiss, they broke apart but stood close. Clearly, what made them argue was sorted out. Like a sixth sense, Claire's husband looked at my direction and not to disappoint, I waved. He looked genuinely shocked but quickly caught himself and waved back taking the promiscuous woman in hand and nervously walked away. Mmhm, looks like another secret to keep.
