Ifeoluwa’s POV
I am over the moon. Excited. Loved. Happy. Joyful. Pleased. Can’t even explain all the emotions bursting through my veins. I am a happy woman.
A happy woman makes a happy man.
Is it possible to get blisters from smiling so much? I feel like I might injure myself from the wide grin plastered on my lips since yesterday.
Patrick is such a darling.
Who could believe I was crying so hard two days ago because I thought my relationship has ended and now, I am smiling like an idiot because I and Patrick made up and he was the sweetest man alive with his yesterday pampering after our talk? Not me
I can’t slap the smile off my lips. No one can.
I am excited. I am glad I could be able to see the love of my life after so long. He was right, seeing each other would be worth the wait.
Daimen took me to a store to get me ready for my dinner date with Patrick later this evening. I am so excited for what he has planned for the both of us. I can’t even stop the imagination going on in my head. I zoned out most of the time we were at the store like I am doing right now.
“Huh?” I shook the thoughts out of my head to focus on shopping with this patient man.
“At least act like you’re interested in doing this” he rolled his eyes and took another gown from the rack “If Loverboy didn’t bribe me to take you out for shopping, I wouldn’t do it” he shrugged.
I faked a hurt gasp. “Ouch, you don’t want to spend time with your very good friend?” I asked, my palm flattened on my chest.
He laughed then pushed the clothes he was holding to me and pulled me towards the dressing room.
“Go inside and wear them so we know which would be good”
I entered the small room and turned to him. “You know Patrick wouldn’t mind anything I wear? He adores me” I flipped my braided hair.
“More reason why he begged me to take you out” he winked and closed the door so I can change.
I will definitely get Daimen for all he’s saying to me.
An hour later…
After I tried on different clothes, shoes and all I will need to get ready for my date. He took me home and left after introducing me to a popular stylist that would help me with getting ready. I couldn’t believe it.
I felt like Cinderella.
After a couple of hours, I was dressed and ready to meet my prince charming.
Philip came to my place at exactly 6pm and he made me blush profusely with his un-ending comments and gushing of my looks. He’s my hype-man.
He didn’t tell me where we were going because it was a surprise and I was thrilled to know what he had planned.
We arrived at a small garden where a cottage could be seen from a far. He helped me get out of the car and walked me through the romantically, decorated walkway to the cottage. This was giving the feelings I had when he revealed to me what he planned for me.
He didn’t blindfold me because he wanted me to enjoy the beauty around us as we walked to the cottage.
It was beautiful and I wanted to cry with so much joy.
When we entered the cottage, I felt the air leave me as I stared at the beautifully decorated interior of the cottage.
‘How romantic can this man be?’ I asked myself.
We ate some Nigerian snacks, played a few games and he gave me notes after notes, after notes where he defined the love, he has for me and all sweet words his heart could form for me.
I wanted to die from so much joy.
I cried. Cried that I am loved more than I prayed to be loved. This isn’t just an answer to my prayers but a manifestation of GOD’s goodness in my life.
It was as if GOD saw that I have suffered and he wanted to bless me with love that was so much, I would want to die surrounded by it.
When he got on one kneel and proposed to me. I cried like a baby. I didn’t even let him talk because the sobs just kept coming.
GOD, you blessed me!
I screamed yes and hugged him because this is the man, I wish to spend the rest of my mortal life with. Even if I come in the next world, I want to do life with him.
We were slowly dancing to ‘I Wanna Grow Old with You’ by ‘Westlife’ while looking into each other eyes.
Tears were shed, love confessions were made but we are assured that forever is for us.
“I love you forever” he leaned close enough for his lips to slightly brush against mine.
“I love you with my heart, my body, my spirit and my soul” I whispered to him and we closed the distance in a lovely, sweet kiss.
