' We're here' I said! Turning to face him, he was staring at me real hard. What? I asked trying to read his eyes

' Nothing, just wondering where you've been all my life, I mean just look at you, just perfect, my future wifey' saying the last word with a wink.

This boy knows how to use the dictionary just right, every word he utters melts my heart. I was speechless but I don't want it to seem like it got me, oh well a girl gotta be a girl.

'Hehe enough of the flattering already' I said smacking his arm

'Ouch! That hurts a little but the pain in my heart is unbearable, save this heart of mine' he said acting like he was stabbed through his heart

'Mahmuuud' I only said rolling my eyes at his drama

'Haha, those eyes though Ma Shaa Allah' he said

'Don't you think you should call your cousins already'

'Yeah that's right, I am only intoxicated by your presence I forget everything around me, my love' causing me to roll my eyes again, his phone begins to ring making me jump a little. You're safe with me he said with a little laugh, I frowned a little.

'Hello, eh muna wurin, toh sai kunzo' (yes we're there, alright we await your arrival, he's Fulani though he speaks Hausa fluently, he speaks French, Arabic, Hindi and a little Korea and he's about to learn Ebira too since I am one)

'They said they're at the sculpture garden, they'd be here in 10, 9, 8, 7....

Really Mahmud? Really I asked and yes with my eyes doing their thing again (rolling)

'Yes really really boo, 6, 5, 4', he kept counting

Eww who calls their girlfriend boo? I asked acting a little annoyed

'Hehe just kidding my love, my bae, my shuga, my heart, my queen...

'Okay okay that's enough, I totally forgive you', I said with a smile

Assalamu alaikum, a random guy said.

at least before I knew it was Mahmud's cousin, I shouldn't really be thinking this but oh my Allah, this guy is very handsome until I met the second cousin of course who is the most handsome of them all, like where do they come from? I mean I know Fulani boys are cute but these guys standing in front of me are just too cute to be Fulanis, Arabians maybe, right now they got me thinking I got the ugliest in their family, I know that's a cruel thing to think about the guy I claim to love so much, I am only kidding, to me my boo is the most handsome man in this universe but of course apart from Rasulillah (P.B.U.H) and prophet Yousuf (A.S)

'Cwiry meet my cousins Abbasid and Ahmad, cousins meet my wife In Shaa Allah' Mahmud said introducing us

'Hello sister in-law, we couldn't wait to meet you' they said in unison

'Hey brothers nice meeting you guys, husby here has told me a lot about you guys' I said as sweetly as I can

'Now we know why he never stops talking about you, I mean look at you' Abbasid said with his hands on his hips

(Really right now? Salima don't let it get to you, don't feel like a beauty queen we all know you aren't. OMG is it just the make-up. God! My insecurities are coming back. I know these guys are only teasing me, do I look big? Let me sit straighter to look slim and suck my belly in)

'Oh thanks a lot' I simply said, breathing heavily since I'm sucking my belly in

Ahmad came close to me starring at me, I tried not to vibrate, oh such handsomeness, still kidding bae is my handsome king. After examing me for a while, he said 'I've been seeing you around this school, I just didn't know you are family'

'Oh well..wow I don't hang around school a lot, I'm either in class or at the hostel, I don't see you at all' I said

'For real I'm like all over the campus,how come you never noticed? But seriously I see you a lot, you're either here or everywhere around the school' he said

'That's so not me, though I've been hearing the same thing from a lot of my friends, I think I have a clone around here, they say she looks just like me'

'Yeah right because I could swear it was you until now'

'Ehem... Mahmud interrupted, I thought this was supposed to be my date, I didn't know you was on the list' he glared angrily at Ahmad, only making Ahmad smirk

'Husby no need to worry, you know it has always been you today, tomorrow and always' I said trying to calm him

'Hmm I see you love birds don't need our company' Abbasid said. Ahmad please let's not disturb their Juliet Romeo moment, we'd be heading to the library, see you soonest sister.

'See you around' Ahmad said with a wink

'Astagfirullah I'm about to commit murder' Mahmud said chasing Ahmad

'Hehe see you soon brothers' I said grinning

'I was only kidding' Ahmad said screaming and of course causing attentions from all those students who only know how to judge, their facial expressions though

'That's enough boys, I called out, making them stop.

'Just tell him to stop flirting with my wife to be' Mahmud said

'Ours! Mahmud, our wife' Ahmad said that racing off

'Did you hear that again? I'm not sharing my wife' Mahmud said angrily, before facing me

'Jealous much?' I said with a smirk and this time he rolled his eyes, making me laugh
'It's not funny' he said folding his arms and pouting a little
'Awwn look how cute you are right now' I couldn't stop admiring him
'I'm hungry bae, let's go eat'
'I'm not hungry, let's just get you a snack' I said before my stupid stomach started to growl
'Really Salima? Really?' He said with a raised brow
'Oh shut up, I said smacking my belly a little
'Hehe, let's fatten ourselves up, shall we?' He asked
'Sorry, I'm on a diet, I only eat cooked food'
'That's right, how about eating at your place? I've always wanted to eat your food' he said

Oh my God, I know he's doing this on purpose, I'm still a novice at making tuwo (a certain food eaten in Nigeria mostly by Hausa's, made with dry grated corn, wheat or rice taken with sauce/soup) I still can't turn it lump free. I mean I know I could cook but I'm not a professional

'Umm yeah sure, what would you like to eat?' I said batting my lashes
'How about pounded yam and egusi and tuwon shinkafa and vegetable soup, maybe a little fried rice too?' He asked like it's very easy

Mahmuuud, who eats that? What a bad combination! I'm beginning to believe you actually want to fatten up, watch out for pot belly though

Pot belly? Oh my God! But I don't want to be fat, he said a bit shocked

Hehe, you know you're actually acting like a female right now? Thought you said you don't mind the weight

I didn't meant it, he said pouting

No one is going to be fat, okay?? I said with an assuring smile even though I know he still thinks I am

Alright wifey, I'd have poundo and okro then

Phew thank Allah, I think I could actually cook that
'Sure your majesty but too bad you can't come over to my house'

'What?

A/N: sorry for the lateness and I might not be updating for a while because I have an upcoming exam and I'd have to study for it. Don't forget Hauwa loves you
