Dealing With Love... Shopping (Part two)
Getting to MacDonald's, I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake. Funke ordered a chicken sandwich and orange juice while Liya ordered Fries and coffee. "I hate shopping, it's stressful," I said, massaging my thighs while the two ladies laughed at my predicament. "Come on, what do you think Ethan will do for you? Like a restaurant with candlelight and stuff?" Liya teased while I just huffed. "I don't like restaurants that much; I prefer to sit at my house with a movie and lots of junk food" I smiled as I thought of that perfect date. "Yeah, Ife loves junk food, that's another reason she chose New York to study," Funke told Liya while our food came and we dug in immediately. My Yoruba name is Ifeoluwa meaning the love of God and mostly Funke called me that. "I love your name. But that's not a date, where will the flowers be and the butler?" Liya frowned as she spoke making Funke and I laughed. Butler? "She doesn't like people spending too much money on her" I stuck my ton

I let out an un-lady-like yawn but paused when I felt a weight on my shoulder and stomach, I sat up straight to see Liya and Funke's heads in the said places. Checking the time, it's already past 10 am.Shaking Funke, she wakes up only to fall back asleep. I turned to shake Liya and praised the Lord as she stirred awake. "Good morning" she mumbled sleepily."Good morning, we must have fallen asleep watching the movie and Funke won't wake up" she yawned as I kept shaking Funke telling her to get up and finally she woke up."I'm up, aah I'm so tired. I'm not leaving this house" I laughed at her, she was always grumpy when woken."Igba tonwo television kakiri nko o" my Yoruba intonation coming to play. I rolled my eyes and turned to Liya, who simply smiled widely

"Don't you have a date to prepare for?" she asked me with her arms folded.Oh my gosh, she was right.*************************************"How was your making-out session?" I changed the subject and teased her."Why didn't you tell me, he was here?" she pouted, and I chuckled."He begged me to come to see you." She smiled and I took it as it was good."I forgave him but told him sorry is not enough for what he did and then he kissed me, but I slapped him and told him not to play with my feelings" I laughed. It sure sounded like what she'd do.I stood up and was about to head to my room."If you'll excuse me, I have a date to prepare for" she rolled her eyes and followed me into the room.I took another shower while Funke brought out my dress. I decided to go cultural, picking out a knee-length, flower-patterned Ankara gown, that was tight from my chest to my waist and then flared. I put my hair down since it's straightened and applied a little brown powder on my face and put on my r

Doing things together increases bonding,Making decisions together improves understanding. Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I stirred awake to the sound of my blaring alarm. With a groan, I ran my hand on my bedside table till my hands felt the instrument of my discomfort, and then, I slammed the alarm clock on the wall. Unfortunately, I couldn't fall back asleep. Standing up, I said my morning prayers and checked the time, it was past 7 am. A smile immediately lit my face as I remembered that, Ethan was going to take me to church, after our conversation last night. Flashback "So, what are you going to be doing tomorrow?" Ethan asked me softly with a smile on his face. "I'm going to church from 9 am till 11 am, then I clean, cook, eat and most of all study, then in the evening I read and write" I looked him in the eye and smiled. It was always a usual thing for me to go to church, I was a believer and I knew if I couldn't trust God in little things like my health, then I wouldn't be able

"I've been watching you for the past 10 minutes and you didn't even notice me? What are you cooking?" he asked in an amused tone. "Well, I already told you, I'm cooking Eba and Ogbono soup" he smiled as I put the kettle of water on another stove. Just as I was about to go back to stirring the soup, Funke entered the house, with a look of exhaustion and greeted Ethan. "Ife, are you cooking Ogbono?" she asked as her face suddenly lit up with joy. I knew that she had been wanting to eat homemade soup. So, I smiled at her and nodded, making her bounce towards me and engulfed me in a tight hug. She then left the kitchen to her room. I removed the soup from the fire, just as my phone started ringing. I checked the caller ID and my face lit up immediately. I wiped my hands and picked up the video call. "Daddy, how are you?" my words were thick with emotion. I heard someone cough and my gaze found Ethan to see his eyes widen as he stared at me with realization and a bit of fear. 'Your

They say time heals woundsThey say we learn from wounds,But then, old wounds can reopenAnd if not strong, could shatter everything...OluwatoyosiPrecious POVThe sound of my alarm buzzed me awake, making me groan as I stood up to do my morning prayer before going into the bathroom to get a hot shower, as it has been cold these past weeks.It's been two weeks since Ethan spoke to my parents and to say we have both been busy was an understatement. I was thrown into projects while Ethan had business deals every now and then but we still managed to find ways to be together like weekends where we are either in my home or going out.I needed a break, I was really tired, but thank God it was Friday.Coming out of the shower, I took my clothes, which consisted of simple jeans with plain white tees. I slipped on my white converse and packed my braids into a ponytail, that's right I had to make my hair, or else it would have started cutting.Taking my backpack, I left my room to see Funke t

Stepping into the apartment, I dropped my bag on the couch and made Funke follow me to the kitchen. I was hungry for homemade fried rice and chicken.It took us an hour to get the food done, then we ate and drank a bottle of non-alcoholic blue wine as a form of our mini celebration while dancing like crazy people in the kitchen. Finally, when we were exhausted, I checked the time to see that it was still 2:55 pm, and we decided to sleep it off. Setting our alarm for 4:30 pm we slept off, not on the bed but the couch in the parlor.The alarm clock jolted us up as we hated the song. Quickly dismissing the alarm, it took us 10minute to stand up."Ife, let's go and shower, I smell like the chicken sauce" I laughed but stood up nonetheless.Entering our rooms, I head to the shower and took a nice long bath, washing, and shaving. After a good scrubbing, I turned off the shower and stepped out wrapping my towel around my body.Checking my wardrobe, I decided to wear my long red Ankara, with

"You do?" he asked incredulously and I nodded and before I knew what was happening, he was carrying me by the waist and twirling me. "I love you so freaking much, my love and I will always do" I put my head on his chest, his heartbeat my music as we swayed to the ending of the song. Ethan pulled me for a long soft kiss and then I heard claps around. We walked back to our seats. Not long after, Ethan and Joel excused themselves to meet an investor. Funke and I decided not to go as our legs were killing us. So, while we waited, we ate to our satisfaction and then some. The food was amazing. I finished stuffing my face with food and drank the juice I ordered since I didn't want to get drunk.Funke and I were appreciating some women who came to comment on our gowns. I was smiling and telling them that we were from Nigeria until I noticed Funke tensed up. "Funke, what's wrong?" I asked her. She looked angry but concerned that's when I heard that voice, his voice. "Ifeoluwa" I tensed n

"To the mall!" I told the driver excitedly. He drove us there, and I quickly got out, rushing to the kids’ section while dragging Funke, who was laughing at my excited face.I bought a small onesie that said "I love Daddy," paid for it, and went to the grocery store. I bought all the ingredients needed to make our favorite food, paid, and left. I checked the time, and it was past 4 p.m., so I decided to go straight home so I could cook."Will you come with me?" I asked Funke, and she shook her head."No, I have something to do in the office; besides, this is something you need to do yourself. I'm happy for you, babe," she hugged me again, and we dropped her off at the office before I left for home.We pulled up at the house. Ethan had surprised me again with this house; he said he wanted us to have a huge family, so he built a mansion with 8 rooms, one for each of our six kids, even though I protested. The house was homely because his mother designed it with my mother. It had an enorm

It has been amazing waking up to my husband and going to bed with him."So, what are we going to do about the shipment?" Daphne, my assistant, snapped me out of my daydreaming about my husband."Send it to everyone that ordered," she nodded."You have a meeting by 4 p.m. with Candler Inc." I nodded, not being able to speak because I felt sick in my stomach. I rushed to the bathroom to throw up. I had been throwing up since morning, not to mention the way I've been feeling sick these past few weeks, when we came home. Daphne rushed to my side, holding up my hair and rubbing my back."You need to see the doctor, ma'am. You've been sick the whole week," she said sharply, since I've been denying going to the doctor."It's just the flu. Don't worry," I said, waving it off."It's not
Dealing With Love... Honeymoon (Part two)
We were about to enter the cart when I saw the little boy who gave me a coin helping out his mother in a food stand. He was wearing worn out clothes and I immediately felt bad for him. I pulled Ethan with me and walked towards them. The little boy smiled at me making his entire chocolate eyes sparkle. "Two tacos please," I told the woman who looked so tired while she placed the tacos. She handed it over to me."5euro," the woman said in a tired voice and I took out a hundred and gave it to her."You can keep the change," I said immediately and her eyes widened. I had my assistant change some money into Euro for me last night. "Thank you so much" the woman held my hand with tears in her eyes and I smiled at her. I bent down to the little boy’s level and brought out a fifty and handed it to him despite his protest."Thank you for your coin" I whispered softly making his eyes widen. I ruffled his long brown hair and took Ethan's hand in mine."Have I ever told you how amazing you are?"

I can show you the worldI can make you smileIt's a promise, my loveFrom me to you. © Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I woke up first to see Ethan still sleeping peacefully. His thick black hair was rumpled, his head was once again on my bare chest with his hands wrapped around me. He looked like a hot mess. I moved his hands gently so I could stand up. Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I wrapped the second duvet around my body and went to press the button and ordered breakfast silently. I was on my honeymoon in Rome, staying in a suit, I was going to enjoy it and even though there was a stocked up kitchen, I didn't feel like cooking. I moved carefully to the bathroom to pee. I brushed my teeth, had a hot shower, and came out wearing a white silk bathrobe when I heard the knock. I rushed to the door careful not to wake him and collected the tray of food from the bellman, tipping him from my purse, he thanked me and left. I sat down by the bed with the tray on my lap and gently removed hi

"Hmm... I really think I would love to get used to this" I whispered softly. "Good morning Ífé mi" I blushed at his endearment, letting a yawn escape my lips. "Good morning indeed, babe," I said back making him smile wildly. I don’t think I would get tired of his smile. It simply made his beautiful blue eyes sparkle. "Let's go shower," I let out a squeal as he carried me from the soft bed in the private plane. I should have expected he had other plans, and so after the rough love making, I was really sore. He placed me down with him behind me, switching on the shower he helped me bath. Once we were done, we stepped out and we got dressed when we heard the pilot telling us to take our seats sinc

I asked curiously."It's a surprise" he smirked and I glared at him. I wanted to know now."Fine," I huffed angrily, folding my hands on my chest."Don't be like that love, we'll be here soon. I have a lot to do tonight," he purred seductively kissing me then nibbling my earlobe causing me to moan. I slapped my hand on my mouth. I didn't want the driver to hear me. He kept kissing my exposed neck and switching to my lips simultaneously. I didn't notice we had stopped."We're here," he said with a full blown smile. The door opened making me jump away from Ethan. He pulled me out to see a house. A big beautiful house that could easily be recognized as a mansion stood before me. "Ethan, why am I looking at
Dealing With Love... The Wedding (Part three)
"I wasn't prepared to get slapped by a short fierce black girl, so if someone had told me I would be marrying a Nigerian girl then I would have laughed in the person's face. I wasn't prepared to meet you. You came like a light in my dark busy world, you came with your playfulness, your seriousness, your activeness, your fierceness, your Independence, but I love it all. You are my queen, the person who gives me peace, the person who gives me a reason to work harder and faster, the person who gives me a reason to love, the person who gives me a reason to keep going.

Dealing With Love... The Wedding (Part two)
Here I stood, behind the giant doors to the church in all my nervousness."You look beautiful," I jumped at my dad's sudden voice but smiled either way."Thank you daddy. I'm so nervous," I admitted, because if there's anyone who could make my nerves go, it was my dad."You can get out now,"Woah, that wasn't what I expected."But think about how you will feel. Is it worth it with him? Will you be happy with him? You need to be selfish right now and consider yourself. Are you doing this for him or are you doing it for you?, Is he the one you want to wake up next to every day of your life?, Is he the person you want to have children with?, Is he the one you want God to join you to? These questions can only be answered by you. If you can't then you still have time to get out. But I want you to know that I'm proud of you no matter your decision" I thought about it.Ethan was the only one who made me feel peaceful apart from God. He was the person I wanted to see every day of every minute

I have thought about this day.I have waited for this day. Now it's finally here.It's my wedding day.I was standing in front of my mirror fixing my red tie as I kept thinking of my vows. I had suggested that we write our own vows and here I am, stuck, because there are so many things I want to say."You are going to make a hole in that mirror if you keep glaring at it. Aren't wedding days supposed to be happy days?" my dad's voice brought me back to reality, I hadn't noticed I was glaring at the mirror and made my hand get stuck in the tie. I sighed and looked at my dad. Maybe he could help me."I'm stuck dad. I was the one who suggested we write our own vows and now, I can't seem to make up my mind," I confessed and rubbed my temples while my dad laughed. The old man freaking laughed. I stared at
