I'll be your girlfriend

"Ok"

"So is that a yes?" I cracked a small smile and nodded in agreement " I want you to say it "

"Ok yes, I'll be your girlfriend"

"Wow , thank you, thank you thank you, thank you, thank you" he pulled me to a tight hug.I smiled and he released me and looked into my eyes . "thank you very much. I promise to make you happy. I love you"

"I love you too" I whispered but I don't think he heard

Oops that slipped. Did I just say I love him. Yes I think I do love him. I don't know him that much but I love him. I love you khalifa

"Can I get a kiss. I've been dying to taste those lips ever since you said hi to me"

I acted as if I was thinking. In reality i've been wanting to kiss that pink lips. I nodded my head slowly and gently he brought his lips on mine.

He placed his lips waiting for me to give him entrance, I wasted no time, and gave him the full permission. Our tounge moving in sync. He kept his hand on my waist and his mouth still doing wonders

3 minutes later, we stopped to catch our breath. He placed his fore head on mine, looking deep into my eyes. I kept staring at those beautiful black eyes. Our breath being heard and a huge smile on our faces. He mouthed I love you and I smiled. He pecked my lips one more time before resting back on the chair. He pulled me gently to him, I was now resting on his shoulder, his hands wrapped around my waist

" what should we do today ?" He asked. I switched on the TV but I reduced the volume

"Let's just stay in and talk about ourselves"

"Ok, you first "

"Alright, I'm Anuoluwapo Adesiku I'm 24 years old, I know am a baby you don't need to tell me" we both chuckled "I work as an assistant editor in Genevieve Magazine, you might ask how I got my Job so early, well here it is. My education had been a fast one. I graduated out of secondary school at the age of 15 and gained admission that same year to Lasu. Four years I graduated. I studied Mass communication.

"When is your birthday ?" He asked

"March 7. You?"

"August 15"

"Ok, so you tell me about yourself"

"Born Ahmad Muhammadan I_" he was about to speak but I interrupted him

"Wait so your real name is not Khalifa" I asked amazed

"Khalifa is my name but Ahmad is my birth name. I chose Khalifa because I like it "

"Ok"

"As I was saying. I'm 28. i'm the first and only son . I have 5 sisters,. Three younger sisters and two older sisters, they're twins. I'm very sure they will like you. I graduated from Harvard university . My dad is late"

"Oh my bad. I'm so sorry about that"

"Nah its nothing. Its the past now

"You're from what state"

"Kano"

"I've also traveled to Kaduna once. I was six then."

"Where in Kaduna?"

"Tudunwada."

"Okay, let's talk about past relationships. How many girlfriends have you had"

"I can't remember"

"That much!!"

"That much but now i'm a changed person. I have the most beautiful girlfriend so I don't care about other girls. What about you how many?"

" Two. I dated one when I was in ss2 and I dated one in 200 level"

"Why didn't you have a girlfriend before...me"

"I just haven't found any special person and when I did, I confessed my feelings to her and did you know who that person is... You" he kissed my temple.

"Khalifa there's something bothering me. What do we do about the distance. You stay in Abuja and I stay here. The distance is a problem "

"Nope, distance is not a problem where there's love. Just know one thing I love you so much "

"Tell me about your sisters?"

"My sisters. Let me start with the twins_"
