PLAYING DEVIL

CHAPTER ONE

" Oh no Craig stop it.....uh....ah....stop it Craig....it's not funny." She had looked so beautiful and very attractive when she put on those heavy smiles. This was the fifth day of their honey moon, down at the Jamie's hotel.
"Liar....tell me you just love the way I tickled you....Common, admit it because if you don't, am ganna do more than this to you... common laugh.......
"Ah .....ah ...." Britney stood up from the swimming stretcher as she ran round the swimming pool on her short pants and bra. Craig stood up and admires the figure of his new bride....he never imagined it, over three years of their courtship, finally, Britney was his...his forever. He smiles, running after his pink lady. That was the name he called her on their first date.
"Am ganna catch you pink....yeah....I caught you....." As he tried to hold her, she jumped inside the swimming pool, but he had got rid of the small pink scarf that she had tied round her waist. Britney was down in the water....she had been fighting herself in the pool.
"Sorry pink....I caught something you love best.... your pink scarf.
"Hump!" She laughed, looking more gorgeous. She had splashed the water on his face.
"Huh.... is that going to be a game for us?
" Ah, no boy... that's a million trick, you know how you threw me inside the pool, so am not gonna suffer this alone."
" I think I love that challenge. Common, let's play the game." Craig jumped into the pool, making her scream...she ran as fast as possible in the pool. Craig got hold of her waist, she looked back and stared at him.
" Now run.....
"I love you" she admitted, waiting for his kiss to shower on her lips like the rain. Craig was not going to do just that now. He had only stared at the beautiful jewel in his bosom. This is what he had wanted to have her for years. Oh, how sweet  and crazy to have Britney has wife, he thought.
He remembered the first proposal. It was on a Friday evening when they were both at the beach on a date...he had two diamond rings along that day and his best wine Le Craio. Britney refused his marriage proposal.
" Brity, how i wish I had you to myself forever. Tell me, what do you feel about that?"
" Well, I feel just the same way with you but....
" Ssssssssh! remember, no but....no excuse....just say something I would love to hear.
"Anyway.... I feel the same way as you Craig. Are you satisfied now?"
" Yeah, yeah, interesting.  I think I love the way you sound about that. Well, baby girl...do you think we can be forever? Tell me"
" Well...if we're both honest with this love, I don't think there is anything that would tear us apart.
"Really, that's true but we need something that will bind us together forever. I mean...you know, trusting each other is not enough....let's .....Britney....please marry me.
Britney looked at him. She was so confused. She was too young to face any man, to be under the control of any man. She became so scared and worried. Fear gripped her. Not that she doesn't love this man but she was not ready to be in a family way. "Not now!", she thought.
Craig in his own mind was burning wit fire. He was scared to hear the word NO...
"Britney please marry me....yes....just say yes. I need you right now than ever.
" NO....NO Craig. Are you out of your mind. Look, I have so many plans ahead of me now in which I don't want any man to destroy. Please, am so sorry. If I might have hurt you, I am not just ready to put myself in a family way. I am just too young for that." She stood up, her mood had changed immediately. Craig held her back to himself.
"It's okay Pink. If you say no...well, I admit it then but....there's one thing I want you to promise me, will you?
"What is it?"
"Wait a minute. Em .... Brit, I love you so much and you know the problem I'm facing without a woman as a wife in my life.... I want you to promise me that no man will ever take you away from me."
Britney looked at him and smiled. She held his face closer to hers, placing a kiss on his lips.
"I promise you Craig. No man will ever take me away from you.
"How can I  be sure about that?"
"You have to trust mt Craig... I love you so much. You know what? I want you to give me time to settle down. I have to be old enough to become a wife, a mother and a real woman...before I can think about marriage.
"Tell me Britney, are you sure that is the main reason you're running away marriage?"
"Why? so Craig, you don't believe my words?
"No, no. Look Britney, I believe everything you said but I only want to be sure that what you have said is the only challenge we are having. I was going to think on the steps to take."
"And do you have a solution to it? she questioned, staring into his eyeballs as if she had been staring up at the rainbow. His eyeballs have brought confusion to her life. She just couldn't refuse the temptation of looking into the eyes of her man.
"Looking forward to having one."
Britney smiles. "May be in two years time."
"Two years? Oh common Pink, two years is a hell distance. Why not in months time?

The telephone beside the bed rings. Craig was in the bath room with his pink wife. They had been having a good time together, bathing each other.
Craig stood up." Excuse me... I'll get that call.
Britney smiled, looking at the wonderful figure of her man. She looked so happy in her bath tub pouring down two glass cups of wine while Craig picked up the phone.
"Oh...how are you doing over there?"
 "Hey guy, am just cool like ever. Tell me, how is everything with you over there? I hope you're enjoying every side of life? Guess your honey moon is great."
"It's nice...
"So, tell me, how does she sound?"
Craig stared at Britney. He saw the way she had been enjoying herself." Well, man, she's so beautiful. I mean, she's the most wonderful lady that I've ever seen in my life"
"Really?"
"Really, look, you just have to be here to see how happy she is...you need to see how charming she is. I love he so much.
"Liar! Anyway, when are you going to start your devilish plan?"
"Common, Joe... I have to do things slow and steady. Look, when it's time, I'll let you know."
"You're such a slow poison."
"No, I am not. Look Joe, you know my life, I know what I want and how to go about it. Trust me.
"Smart guy. Well, they have been coming since you left. Most especially, the one you cherish most. She's been so crazy about your absence.
"Oh no, boy, tell them not to worry. Is just a matter of time.
"Alright. Anyway, I gat to drop it now, Juicy is on her way to my room and I don't want her to know what is going on.
"Yeah, that's true. I think ma angel is also waiting for me.
"Send ma hi to her. Take care.
"Bye!"
He went in to meet Britney.
"Oh sweetheart, am so sorry." He placed a kiss on her lips.
