Episode 2

Bethel’s Pov:
Nicole left just before Ryan returned.
When he returned, he took off the red suit he was putting on and changed into something else.
Hm. I wonder if he’s going to repeat it in the morning – like I demanded.
We left for the marriage classes afterwards and when we arrived, the lessons had already commenced.
Urgh! We were always going late.
This time around, it was a different counselor, but she still acknowledged our presence when we settled down.
“Its an honor to have you here with us” she concluded.
“Thank you ma’am” I replied and Ryan, of course, didn’t respond.
Then, she resumed teaching.
“So, like I was saying, avoid a third party in your relationship. Stop the habit of always telling your families or friends each time you’re having conflicts with your partner. Learn to solve your problems yourselves without having to involve anyone. It kills relationships.
“And I’ll explain this prior to the fact that, when you involve others in your personal problems with your partner, you’ll keep on getting different opinions from them and they’ll only make you confused and in the end, you’ll make nasty decisions. So, always learn to be secretive.”
Hm. True.
She paused and looked into her book.
“And the next point – learn to forgive.
“The willingness to forgive is one of the top secrets of maintaining a good relationship. As humans, we’re bound to make mistakes, but in all, we need to let love lead.
“So, no matter the offense, learn to forgive your partner. Two wrongs can never make a right. If he’s mad and you’re mad, then who’s gonna be sensible?
“So, learn to forgive. Even if you find it impossible to, just think of all the good times you two have spent together. Remember all the times he made you happy and then think to yourself: just this one mistake shouldn’t make me hate him. So, he deserves your forgiveness.”
“Well, the men should also learn to stop being a jerk”, a lady said from the front seat, arousing laughter from the class.
I also laughed while Ryan just scoffed, finding it ridiculous.
“And…the next point”, the counselor paused and looked into her book, then clasped her hand.
“Perfect. I’ve been longing to get to this point. And now, I want to ask.
“Do you think it’s okay to have s*x in a relationship before you get married?” She asked and a wild murmur filled the class.
Oops.
“Well,” she continued, stopping the murmurings.
“I can vouch that 99% of you here are already having s*x with your partners” she said and the murmurings resumed.
Hmm. Well, I guess Ryan and I are the 1% left.
“Yeah – but I wanna tell you, I strongly advise against s*x before marriage” the counselor said.
“Like you’re still a v*rgin”, Ryan scoffed and unfortunately, the rest of the people in the class got to hear it.
Oh, God!
The counselor cringed and waved it aside and resumed with what she was saying.
“Um…so, like I was saying, I strongly advise against s3x before marriage. I mean, what if you two break up and don’t end up together? You need to keep your dignity for your Mr Right.
“But, when you’re married, of course,, it becomes the sweetest ingredient”.
Oh, God! Please, please. Can somebody tell her to skip this part?
“When you’re married, its advised to be done often because it brings the hearts together. I mean, I don’t see why married couples will starve themselves of s3x. Its absurd. So, its strongly advised to…”
I itched the back of my nape bashfully and heard Ryan scoff.
Oh, God! I could hear my heart beating like a party drum. Why did she have to bring up such topic?
After a while, she rounded up the discussion and went into another topic.
Perfect.
***********
Few more hours and when we were done from the classes and returned home together.
But Ryan left as soon as he dropped me off, going to God – knows – where.
??????????????????

Ryan’s Pov:
I woke up the next morning, still feeling dizzy. But, urgh! What to do? I needed to get ready for an appointment.
I looked at the bed and the pretty lady beside me was still sleeping. I hope she gets to wake up in time for school.
I left the bed and went out of the room, going downstairs.
I got to the dinning and discovered the maids were still setting breakfast.
Geez! They weren’t even done yet.
I turned around and went for the kitchen. I couldn’t tell why I felt so much hungry that morning.
I entered into the kitchen and looked around..what could I possibly do here?
I’ve never handled a spoon in the kitchen before.
But that morning, I didn’t feel like asking the maids to prepare anything for me. And also didn’t feel like eating at the dining. Yeah – I didn’t feel like eating with those ugly faced people who call themselves family.
I decided to make the easiest thing I could – tea.
I reached for the chocolate and milk and put some into a mug. Then, I got some cold water and mixed it in the cup. I actually made use of the cold water because I couldn’t go through the stress of heating up one.
I tasted the perfect and yeah – it was perfect!
Wow! I’m such a good cook.
I smiled to myself and was about leaving with the mug when a thought suddenly niggled at me.
Yeah – why don’t I make some tea for her?
Hm.
I took out another mug and put some quantity of the chocolate and milk into it. Then, I got some cold water and mixed it and…it was just superb!
Perfect.
I reached for a tray and carefully placed the two mugs of tea on it. Then, I got some slices of bread from the fridge and kept it on the tray as well and after which, I left for the room.
????????
?Bethel’s Pov:?
The sound of my alarm rang into my head and disrupted my sweet sleep.
Oh, God! When will I be done with High school?
I yawned and forcefully opened my eyes. Going to school was such a burden for me.
I looked and saw Ryan standing in front of the table, operating his laptop.
There was a mug on the table with him.
I sat up on the bed and noticed a tray on it.
It was a mug containing tea and some slices of bread.
Why would Ryan be so careless to keep them here? What If I had mistakenly kicked them with my legs?
He turned and shot me a stare when he obviously sensed I was awake.
“Hey” he called and turned back to his laptop.
“Hi…good morning”, I replied.
“Um…why did you keep the tray on the bed, Ryan? Why didn’t you just keep it on the table?” I asked as I got ready to leave the bed.
‘Oh! They’re actually for you. I made you breakfast” he replied and I heard a loud bell ring in my head.
Whaat?
I felt my brains turn as I stared at the tray in front of me.
Did…Did I just hear Ryan correctly? I mean, he…made breakfast for me?
Oh, my God! The love test!
This was the first sign!!!
What?
I opened my eyes wide in shock and looked at him.
He left the table with the mug in his hand and sipped from it.
“R…Ryan”, I called, transfixed.
“You…made breakfast for me?” I asked and he sipped from his mug again.
“Obviously” he shrugged and left the room.
Oh, my God!
I’m not dreaming, am I?
Ryan passed the first test!!!
