Afraid To Fall In Love

Hearts As One

"Where is my luggage" I asked no one in particular after noticing that it wasn't there after coming out of the bathroom,

"Its was taken to your room earlier " Mamie answered going through a magazine she found on the side piece.

I went straight to the other room where the girls were still fast asleep but i couldn't find it, not even after checking every corner of the room did I relialize it could be in the last room.

I began to panic thinking I left my luggage In the cab that brought us to our hotel,

"Na shiga uku" I kept muttering in a state of confusion, I hate to lose my things even though it isn't new to me but losing a whole box was another dymension.

He opened the door the same time as Mamie who heard the noise,

"What's going on " she asked coming out of the room,

"I lost my bag, it's not in the room, Mamie it has everything in it" I explained still trying to look for it.

She laughed a bit shaking her head like all the mothers do "ask your husband,he knows where it is" she replied going back into the room,

I kept quite for a while ashamed as well as feeling stupid for not figuring that out in time,

I turned to look at him feeling so awkward,he pointed towards the room before I could ask where the bag was,

The curtains were open,the view was amazing and the room was  better than the rest of the rooms but what was he thinking bringing my luggage over here, you can imagine the embarrassment he put me through.

I opened the box to take out a few necessary things I needed to get ready and was about to leave the room when he stopped me,

"Where are you going to" he asked typing away on his phone,

"Err..ehmm... Mamie's room of course " I stammered "can you help me with my bag...Its so heavy" I added smiling so widely.

"She doesn't want you there,if she did she wouldn't have asked me to take your bag along with me to my room" he explained keeping his phone on the bed next to him.

"You mean I am also staying here!" I asked with a panicked expression.

"Don't worry I will be on the couch...when ever you are ready" he said reading right through me.

I wanted to say that wasn't what I meant but I didn't want to have to explain what I meant so I sluggishly walked into the bathroom to get ready,

"Welcome to the beginning of the end" I muttered before coming out of the toilet dressed in a blue and white dress with pleated sleeves,

"Wow" he thought out loud staring as if he  was searching for something, "I wish we had the pent all to ourselves " he said with a wink,

Ohhh yeah, I wouldn't mind an extra room I thought but couldn't say it out so I just smiled adjusting my head tie in the mirror,

Italy was amazing, I honestly did come here for the food and the amazing sites, we spent a week in the same room as he tucked me in every time  and watching until I fell asleep before making the couch comfortable with a blanket, I felt so bad...I couldn't watch him suffer so I proposed for him to sleep next to me,

I took my bath before going to bed,putting on my red silk dress which I find really comfortable, he tucked me in kissing my forehead before moving to the other side,

I wasn't comfortable sleeping next to him so I couldn't even sleep, all I did was close my eyes loosing my worries along with every breath until I felt his fingers in my hair,

I quickly turned to face him as his touch was spine chilling, "trouble sleeping? " I asked looking into his eyes, they had a certain glow which I had never really noticed and I couldn't take my eyes away this time.

"You are beautiful " he said using his fingers to move my hair back from my face,

I stared deep into his eyes reading his emotions as they were mine....he isn't  afraid to fall in love anymore,he isn't afraid of what it would do to him,he isn't afraid to show the world... he leaned in and kissed my lips and for the first time it felt okay...I didn't stop it..not this time not ever and I wouldn't have it any other way....it felt right as we loved through the night our bodies and souls collide,our hearts as one...imprints were made.

It did feel a bit awkward in the morning but not as much as I had expected even though I wasn't able to look into his eyes as he pampered me

We bought a lot of things we probably wouldn't even need and had fun for an extra week before heading back home... to Abuja as we all couldn't wait to see Amrah.

Our flight arrived late in the night but Ammi was still up waiting for us to arrive, we were picked up from the airport by Mal Idris and by the time we got home, Amrah was fast asleep and we were all too tired to eat anything Ammi had prepared but I was sure glad to be home, everything felt new as I haven't  been back here since my blessing in disguise as I now call it, my marriage to Ya Mahmud.
