Today being Sunday,I have no where to go. I would've gone to mumsi's church but Khalifa is coming over.
I woke up this morning , did my morning ritual , I ate yam and fried egg. After eating, I brought out my Toshiba laptop to start working on it. I am an assistant editor in Genevieve Magazine. I was writing an article when I heard my doorbell ring. I checked the wall clock and saw it was 12:03. I placed the laptop on my bed, came out of my room and went to open the door.
I opened my door and saw Khalifa standing on my doorstep looking handsome as ever. A bright smile on his face. I smiled back at him
"Come in " I stepped aside for him to enter. When he did I closed the door. I turned back and saw him looking at me. I wanted to blush but I don't want him to see me blushing
"Hi" I mumbled keeping it short
"How are you?" he asked
"Fine.... Please have your seat" I pointed at the couch behind him.he sat comfortably. "What can I offer you"
"Don't worry i'm fine"
"OK, give me a sec please let me shut down my laptop, I'll be back" I went back to my room. Saved what I was doing and shut down my laptop. I carried my phone from the table stand and came back to the sitting room. Khalifa was pressing his phone when I came but as soon as he saw me he stopped.
I'm nervous. What has this guy done to me that I feel this way about him. Never in my life have I ever been nervous in front of a guy not even any of my exes. I'm always blunt. Never shy but with khalifa ,so many butterflies in my stomach. I have to tell him my answer now. I don't even know where to start from
When I came in, i sat on the three seater couch beside him. He kept looking at me . I tried to avoid his gaze by looking elsewhere. I can't just keep him waiting , I have to tell him now
"Huh, I called you to tell you my answer. I've thought about everything and I won't lie to you i'm nervous and scared about all this. There are many things we have to put in consideration here. First is distance. I live here in Lagos and you Abuja. The distance is A big problem and again like I told you my heart is too precious to be broken " he chuckled when I said that " am serious, I might look this tough, strong, lady on the outside but deep inside, I am still a lady. I cry when hurt. And I get shattered easily. I've never been heartbroken and I don't want to be. So please if you know you can't treat me right just let me be"
What a nice speech !
Throughout khalifa kept staring at me. He sighed when I finished. He stood up from his seat and moved to my side to sit beside me. He held both my hands. I kept trying to look away. He's just killing me softly
"Anu look at me" he said with those sweet voice and I did. I looked at him straight in the eyes
"I don't know what spell you cast on me for me to feel this way about you. I don't know what happened but ever since that day, I haven't stopped thinking about you. I don't say this often but I love you. I love you very much and I don't plan on hurting you. I want to do the opposite of that. I want to make you happy. To always see you smiling. I don't want to lose you. Not for any reason. Please just tell me you'll be my girlfriend. Please" he begged me with those pleading eyes.
"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. I got employed at the age of 21 since then I've been working there. I'm the first child and only daughter. I have two brothers Inioluwa and Iseoluwa. INI is 19 final year also in Lasu. It runs in our family . Fast education i mean Ise is 14 he's in Ss1 now. What else do you want to know" I looked at him and saw he was looking at me also
"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_"
