Zara
I woke up early the next morning feeling sore all over. Aminu was still by my side deep in slumber and I was sure he was also so tired from our night of escapades. The night was so blissful and beautiful as we shared the most intimate moments we ever had. At this point I knew that I would never leave this man, not for any treasure in the entire world. Except he pulls a Lagos boy on me but something deep inside me was sure that he would never do it to me. There were many times he could have left me, but he didn't. Looking at his perfect and peaceful face, I was happy I didn't leave even when I had thoughts to do so. I was more than happy with him.
After lying down in bed for a while, I got up, deciding to at least take a shower before Aminu woke up and as I walked towards the bathroom, the stack of boxes caught my eye. I suddenly remembered the box that I had made a mental note to check because I had no idea w
ZaraThe luau venue was just behind the hotel on the beach. The sky was dark and the music was very loud even from afar as we walked towards the party. As we got closer, I got so excited and nervous at the same time for the party. I held Aminu's hand tighter as we entered the party area.The party had already gone into full swing, there were people everywhere, eating, drinking, socialising, dancing and all. I didn't know where to even start with the party. The party arena had a wooden theme to it with a wooden entrance where we were given those flower necklaces and a flower crown for me.The party was actually fun. It turned out that Aminu knew a few people. We chatted with a few of his friends who brought their wives and girlfriends so I got to know them. We danced through the night and ate a lot. It was so much enjoyment everywhere.I had never been
Zara I woke up to the sun shining on my face. Not wanting to open my eyes, I immediately by impulse felt for Aminu to which I got an empty bed space. I dragged myself up to see that Aminu was all dressed up and carrying our luggage around. "Mimi what are you doing?" I asked him making him aware that I was awake. "Oh, Good morning my love" he said smiling at the sight of me. "Good morning" I said rubbing my eyes. Surprisingly, I didn't have a hangover from all that alcohol that I took last night. "What's going on?" I asked again as he continued moving stuff around. "Oh this? We are leaving actually" he said with some excitement in his voice. My eyes widened in shock "what?!" I yelled. I got out of bed and wore my flip flops faster that the speed of sound. "Mimi why didn't you wake me up or even tell me
ZaraWe woke up when it was time to get down from the plane. The light from the open door of the plane shone in my eye making me almost have a migraine. Aminu and I had slept in our respective chairs so as to not be disturbed for landing. I actually really wanted a ton of sleep for no reason."Hey, are you gonna freshen up or we'll do that when we get to the hotel." Aminu asked as I stood up groggily."Hotel's fine. It's a bit cold anyways" I said making my way to the restroom to relieve myself while went into the room to change his clothes. I decided to keep my clothes on and just change in the hotel.I got done and came out to the lounge to see Aminu up and ready to go. He held two to-go cups in his hands and was casually sipping from one. I figured it was coffee."I'm ready" I said walking up to him. He handed me the other cup in his hand which I appreciated because I needed t
ZaraOur time in Greece was amazing. The culture here was extraordinarily beautiful and I had just realized that I had a knack for learning new cultures and soaking it all in.The day after we arrived was very eventful. We started the day early, having a very nice Greek breakfast to a beautiful view. We immediately went exploring because Greece apparently had a lot of historical places and I wanted to see them. We went to some old ruins on the mountains and it was quite fascinating to think there was once any civilization in those mountains.Apparently the most ideal way for us to move around inside the town with ease was with a four wheeler which Aminu surprisingly knew how to drive. We drove around for well over thirty minutes which allowed me to see the beautiful Santorini village and people. I had bugged Aminu until he stopped in the market area.A
ZaraMy phone rang from its position on the nightstand beside our bed, waking me up from my slumber. It was not morning yet so I wondered who would be calling me at that hour. I obviously knew that the call was from Nigeria because I didn't know anybody in Greece.I stretched my hand in annoyance and grabbed the phone from the stand.It was Lotanna. The fact that it was five am here and Nigeria was two hours behind was making me perplexed at why she was calling me at three am. I answered reluctantly."Tanna, don't you sleep?" I slurred."I saw a blog post about you" she said rapidly. I rolled my eyes and said "yeah, haven't we all?""No no another one. This one actually cleared your name in fact. There was a lot of new information about you and your relationship with Aminu. People were really apologetic. You can check it out" she rapidly said and hung up.
Zara.My heart wanted to explode when I saw all my friends and family in front of me. Louis, Tanna, Tayo, Lanre, Tiara, Anita, even my aunt and surprisingly Nonso. There was also a lady I had never met before, I guessed I would get to know her tonight.I screamed out my lungs, jumping frantically as I started hugging each and every one of them. I was so happy to see them and in that moment, I realized how much I missed them. I also realized why Aminu was being so sketchy the whole day. He was pulling all this together. I had tears in my eyes as I greeted my friends.The strange lady who was really beautiful came up to me and hugged me "Hi, I'm Hadiza. A friend of Aminu's""Hi Hadiza" I said smiling her.Louis came up last and hugged me so tightly "I missed you" he whispered and pulled away."I missed you too" I
Aminu. We both knelt there as I stared at her, nervously waiting for her answer. I was hyperventilating and dreading the fact that she was taking a little bit to long to answer. Did she not want to marry me? Did she not love me enough to want forever with me. I was anxious and my forehead was sweaty. I had never been in this kind of position. I knew it was not going to come easily because Zara wasn't an easy nut to crack and I also never spoke to her about marriage or anything of the sort all in a bid to surprise her, I now realized that I should have spoken to her about it at least to know where she stood. I just hoped she wouldn't turn me down. It would absolutely crush my soul. "Zara" I whispered. She drew in a sharp breath at the mention of her name and I almost panicked until she slowly brought Her finger up to the opening of the ring. "Yes... Yes I'll marry you" she said as more tears d
ZaraNigeria..We were finally back to the country after a really long trip and rounds and rounds of love making. I went to Greece a girlfriend, and now I was engaged. My happiness knew no bounds. I was more than ecstatic about this. I was still on cloud nine and I wasn't going to come down for a very long long time. Maybe even until the wedding.The way I was being treated by Aminu, I only prayed for my friends and every other woman to find love like this because it was beautiful. I really really missed him like no man's business. He was with me earlier but had to go and meet a week's worth of work that he couldn't delegate to his psycho brother claiming it was too confidential for him to do that.I reminisced on the events that happened in Greece when my room door creaked open and brought in Tanna my best friend who I hadn't seen since Aminu had to put them on another of his jets so they could come
