"What's that?" I asked hurrying towards the door. As I reached it, I saw his gateman standing there with a cloth soaked in blo*d, and a heavily stained white singlet pressed against his head.
"What happened?" I asked, terrified by the sight.
"Car key...my car key," he said...
"What happened?" I asked, terrified by the sight.
"Car key...my car key," he said...
...rushing into the house to look for it.
"Jide, be careful...there are broken glasses on the floor."
" I'm so sorry...what happened to you?" I asked the man, but he just stood there staring at me, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Jide! Jide, it's there," I said pointing...

...at his key, which was on the center rug.He grabbed it hurriedly and ran out with me following closely behind. He asked me to stay behind, but I insisted on going with him.

"I am sorry about what happened," I said to Jide, noticing his worried expression.
"You didn't do anything wrong. Thank you 4 coming. I'm sorry our date didn't go as planned."He pulled me closer with his right hand &kissed d side of my head.
"Do you have your phone with you?"
"You didn't do anything wrong. Thank you 4 coming. I'm sorry our date didn't go as planned."He pulled me closer with his right hand &kissed d side of my head.
"Do you have your phone with you?"
He asked and it suddenly dawned on me that I had left it on the couch.
"No. I forgot it at your place. "
"Ouch, I need to call a friend to help with the transfer. I had to beg the doctor to treat him cuz he's a family friend."
His gateman received stitches & we got home around..

10:30 pm.
"I'm sorry you have to spend the night here," he said apologetically.
"It's not your fault."
"Are you hungry?"
"No."
"Are you sure, I can fix something for us," he said softly.
"I'm fine, Jide. I just want to sleep."
He led me to his room and gave me a shirt...

He led me to his room and gave me a shirt...
..to change into, then he went back to the sitting room to sweep up the remaining broken glass.
When he got back, I was dressed in his shirt.
"You look good in my shirt," he teased.
"Just tell me I look like a cane in a gown."
"I like it on you though," he said with a smile.

"I like it on you though," he said with a smile.
"Let me help you with that," he offered, pointing at the sleeves. His fingers brushed against my skin, sending electrifying sensations up my spine. When he was done, he stood so close to me that I was certain he could hear the loud thumping of my heart.
"Are you okay?"he asked, his hand tenderly cupping my face.
"Ye..yes,"I whispered, feeling a rush of warmth spreading throughout my body.
"I'm sorry about today,"he said.
"I enjoyed it regardless," I whispered.

Waist while mine rested at the back of his head. Between kisses, his lips whispered," I love you."
"Hold on!" I suddenly pulled away, remembering the picture Yimika had sent to me before we rushed to the hospital.Fear weighed heavily on me as I ran out of the bedroom...

I picked up my phone from the couch and immediately unlocked it. Jide's picture was staring at me, but a lady was standing beside him- it was Joy- Jide's sister.
I burst out laughing uncontrollably as if I had just taken a cold bath.

"Why are you laughing?" Jide asked.
"Oh,nothing." I replied, trying to stifle my amusement.
"You ran here to get your phone & you're laughing. What's going on?"
"Well, I thought Yimika had something on you. She said something on the night of our first date, &I started to wonder..

"You ran here to get your phone & you're laughing. What's going on?"
"Well, I thought Yimika had something on you. She said something on the night of our first date, &I started to wonder..
If you were hiding something from me. Maybe a wife...or even a child...
"Really?"
"Yes..she sent me a picture of you with Joy, asking if you were the one."
Jide burst into laughter & requested to see the picture.
"Aduke..and you didn't ask me about it..
"Really?"
"Yes..she sent me a picture of you with Joy, asking if you were the one."
Jide burst into laughter & requested to see the picture.
"Aduke..and you didn't ask me about it..
...I apologize for the misunderstanding. When I asked you what she thought about me, it wasn't because we had met before. It's just that in the past, whenever a guy dropped off any of my sisters at home, they always had something..
To say about him, and when I saw her- I knew it was going to be a night filled with gist about me.
He paused, took a few steps closer, and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"The moment I saw your picture and we went out that night, I knew it was you." He paused again, then..

Went on one knee, holding my hands, & said "Aduke, please..can we make this official? Can I be your boyfriend and you be mine?"
I felt a rush of excitement & could literally feel d hair on my body stand in unison.
"Well..I like you too. You're funny, you're sweet..caring, but..

"Well..I like you too. You're funny, you're sweet..caring, but..
Are you sure? Do you really want me?" I asked.
"Yes..I want you"
He stood up, staring into my eyes. "I want to make you happy and be the man you've always dreamed of."
"Okayyyyy....I will be your girlfriend," I said, a smile curling up on my lips.
He jumped up in excitement.
"Yes..I want you"
He stood up, staring into my eyes. "I want to make you happy and be the man you've always dreamed of."
"Okayyyyy....I will be your girlfriend," I said, a smile curling up on my lips.
He jumped up in excitement.
I laughed. He laughed. We laughed together and kissed. We paused to catch our breath and kissed again. It felt incredibly good, so magical, with his warm lips.
He played 'Aduke by Tjan' dancing and dramatized with me seated on the couch.

When I woke up the next morning, he was right there beside me gazing into my eyes.
"You know you're really cute when you sleep," he said.
I smiled and yawned, covering my mouth with my hand.
"We all have bad breath in the morning, why are you covering your mouth?" he asked.
"You know you're really cute when you sleep," he said.
I smiled and yawned, covering my mouth with my hand.
"We all have bad breath in the morning, why are you covering your mouth?" he asked.
I used a pillow to cover my face. "Thank you,"he said.
"For?"
"Everything. It's just so hard not to fall in love with you."
He held my hands in a gentle grasp &kissed them softly. I felt butterflies fluttering in my stomach,&could literally hear myself screaming in excitement..

...in my head.
A few hours later, he dropped me off at my apartment, and I called Yimika to stop by.
"Yimika...the picture you sent was of Jide, but he was with his sister - Joy. The same lady who shared his contact. Moreover, how did you get that?" I asked her.

"Instagram. He didn't do anything to me."
"Then why don't you like him? Why did you tell me you knew him?"
She bit her lip and looked at me.
"I just don't like him. Look at him...I just felt he's not your type, and you were just trying to force the love...

"I just don't like him. Look at him...I just felt he's not your type, and you were just trying to force the love...
You can't blame me. I know the type of men you've been with. But Jide??" She shook her head " Have you considered his body size..his age?"
"Just shut up! Have I ever told you about my type of man? Can you even hear yourself speak at all?" I yelled while she stood there staring.
"Just shut up! Have I ever told you about my type of man? Can you even hear yourself speak at all?" I yelled while she stood there staring.
..as a billion thoughts crossed my mind.
"If you were not my friend, I'd have called you a wit*h," I said with a wave of disappointment in my voice as I walked out.
