"So tell me, what do you want me to buy for you?" I asked my god son who was sitting on my lap.

He looked up to the ceiling for a while he thought of what he wanted before saying, "I want toys, chocolates, cookies, a tablet, pizza, hamburger, a lot of video games, a race car——"

"Okay..." I interrupted him before motioning for him to get down from my lap and I stood up afterwards. "Trump, dear, if I stay and keep listening to you, I'll miss my flight" Sandra and the rest laughed at my statement. "So you know what? I'll Skype your mom tomorrow and we can continue our conversation, okay?"

Trump simply nodded his head and I smiled at that. I'm going to miss my godson.

"I'll miss you" said Trina as we briefly hugged. "Come back soon. Don't wait till another seven years"

"I will" I smiled warmly at my sister and she returned the smile.
I embraced Tayo and Daniel before finally turning to my bestie who was folding her arms and pouting her lips. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You know you're chief bridesmaid, if you ——"

"I won't miss your wedding" I assured Sandra for what seemed like the hundredth time. She gave me a bone crushing hug that lasted for more than two minutes.

The car outside kept honing indirectly telling me it was time to go. Chase also happened to be in the car, going back to the US with me.

My mom and Joy had left early that morning for an appointment so we had to say our goodbyes the previous day.

Everyone followed me outside where the car was waiting for me. I could see Chase in the backseat.

I got into the car and waved at everyone as they waved as well.

I had to admit, I enjoyed my time in Nigeria in as much as I was forced to come back. Now, I was going to miss everybody.

Chase heaved a sigh a said, "Can't wait to go back to the States" his blue eyes sparkled a little while he looked at me. He took my hands in his. "We're finally going to have some alone time together"

"Alone time?" I asked looking confused. I had no idea what he meant by that.

"I mean, spending some time together. We hardly saw each other since I came to Nigeria, babe" I brought my hand to his lips and kissed them.

"I really need to focus on my career Chase"

"There we go with this again..." he dug his fingers into his dark-blonde hair.

"I'm being serious" I said looking at his facial expression.

"We'll talk about it later, Bella" Chase said with finality in his tone. I just didn't know if the discussion could wait till later.

________________

The flight was as boring as anything I could imagine. My butt was aching slightly as a result being seated at a particular spot for hours.

Chase was reading a magazine when I'd just woken up from my third sleep session.

"You sleep a lot" Chase who was seated next to me said with his gaze still focused on the magazine in his hand.

"I'm just tired...and bored" I mumbled loud enough for him to hear.

"Don't worry, we'll soon land" he smiled at me and I returned it. We were silent for a while until he said, "I'd like for us to take our honey moon in Vancouver. Look" she showed me a picture in the magazine he was holding but I wasn't paying attention to what he was showing me. I couldn't believe he'd mentioned "honeymoon". I wasn't even sure anymore that I wanted to marry him.

"Chase, we need to talk about this" I said. "We can't get married"

"Bella, come on, what's wrong with you?" he closed his magazine and turned to me. "This is about your career, isn't it?"

"It's not just about my career anymore Chase" I replied

"Then what is it?" he asked. "I don't know why you changed all of a sudden. We used to be happy"

"Chase..." I trailed not knowing exactly how to voice my thoughts. "I'm not sure of my feelings for you anymore"

"W-what?!" Chase exclaimed, turning to face me. "What exactly are you trying to tell me right now?"

I pulled out the engagement ring from my finger and held it out. "I'm breaking up with you"
