2024-10-29 19:42:56The day was beautiful, the weather was perfect for an outing, the sun was shinning bright and the sky looked beautiful, the white clouds were drifting into the blue clouds, forming different lovely shapes, firstly I pictured a shape as a puppy, then it drifted again and formed a boat like shape that looked a little bit like a bungalow then suddenly it dispersed like a mist, forming the shape of an hunter or was it a street light.
I blinked my eyes rapidly, looking away from the sky, it was like the clouds was playing pranks with me, guess our shapes. I brought out my iPhone and took a three different pictures of the beautiful sky. I scrolled over to my Instagram page, not hesitating to upload the pictures I took, I added a caption which says 'Just take a look at nature'
Today I and Alma made plans to go visit my mum and after that we could go visit her family. It was kind of funny to me and I'm sure it will

Time flies they say, and I totally understand why. Now adays, night descends with no warning. Friday came too soon than I thought. The year is coming to end in haste. Today was scheduled as specially as a day to visit Alma's family. I wasn't a bit nervous. I was rather eager, the kind of 'Let's just get this thing done' type of eagerness.I wiped of the beads of sweat forming on my forehead as I zoomed into the magnificent compound of Alma's family house. I could notice a bit of excitement from Alma as she waved to the gateman. Alma led me to a spacious room with rich furnishings, a portable beverage table with walls of books."Stay here, let me go inform my family." Alma said softly, smiling at me."Okay, baby." I replied winking.I sat on a leather chair as Alma exited the room, I reclined on the seat, looking around the room. Pictures could be seen hanging on the walls, the corner of m

With today being a Saturday, Alma came to spend sometime with me. One thing I noticed was that she has been extra touchy, she wants to be cuddled, spooned and kissed. I personally don't see it as a big deal since everyone knows us as candidates for the altar.But I'm just kind of shocked, Alma has been hammering on the no sex before marriage and I have been respecting her decision, I don't lead us through anything that might lead to sex, but right now she was making things more difficult for us, me most especially. I have got needs, manly needs. I have been celibate for months and just a slight push will resort into hours of love making, which we have both been avoiding.We were both sitting on a long plush three seater sofa, watching a football match between Barcelona and Chelsea. Alma was seated in between my legs, with her hands caressing my bare chest. I sighed heavily as she kept making movements that were arousing me. I felt she was doing this intentionally

Finally she was going to be mine, the wedding bells has been resounding since the moment I asked Alma to marry me and she said Yes, she freaking said yes. I don't think I have ever been this happy before. Today was like the happiest day of my life. I smiled at my grooms men and they gave me a salute wave. I was standing right in front of the altar, waiting patiently for my bride to be, Alma.I looked around the large church, rolls of chair were placed orderly and the different kinds of lightenings placed at different corners of the church illuminated the hall, giving it a kind of peaceful aura. Suddenly the keyboardist played a tune, I looked back and my gaze met with that of my wife to be. She was walking down the aisle with her brother.I smiled at her, I got myself a priceless woman. One who wasn't ashamed of her brother's condition. I was expecting her uncle or someone else to walk her down the aisle, but she am
