OUR MARRIAGE BED; The Soldier And His Wife
Eunice Nwodu
Tessy is married to a young successful soldier - Angelo.
It all occurred when they were being attacked by unknown men and her grandmother who she had been living with was shot.
At her last moments, she took Tessy's hand and placed it on Angelo's who had tried to save them from the gunmen. She asked him to marry Tessy and take care of her, and that's exactly what he did.
He got married to her, and she lived in his huge house. After their wedding, Angelo left for war. Tessy's all alone for four months - just living without her husband.
Eventually, he returns after his job had been done. They have to live together now.
-“What do you want?” He asked opening his wardrobe probably to select his pajamas.
How do I reply to this?...
Should I coat the words or be very plain? He turned his head looking at me this time. "What do you want?" He asked stonily, yet again.
“I want us TO MAKE LOVE” I blurted out.
