Tisha's POV
(

A Week Later)

"Habibty wake up", I stirred to a gentle shove on the shoulder.

"It's Saturday, give me a good reason to get up this early",I moaned.

"I'd like to take you out."

My eyes to flew open.
I looked up to find Mus'ab staring at me with an amusing smile.

What the hell happened to the grumpy dude??

I rolled my eyes.

"Go away. This is just some stupid imagination", I closed my eyes back.

"Seriously?? Come on Tee. I've decided to let bygones be bygones. I just want to have a good time with my wife, is that too much to ask?"

"Get out of my head Mus'ab", I groaned into the pillow.

There was silence for a while.

"Finally."
My relief was short lived as I felt something tickle my ear.

I swatted my hand over it.
It refused to stop bugging me.

"Oh God. What now?"
The tickle stopped.

I heard something like, "Gosh you're so stubborn" but I couldn't process it due to the laughter that erupted out of my mouth as soon as I felt a pair of hands tickling me all over.

"Ya Allah...Sto...ppp...itttt."

"Will you open your eyes now and see you're not imagining anything?"

"No!", I giggled.

"Your choice", he continued tickling me all over until I felt tears slip out of my eyes due to uncontrolled laughter.

"Stop...eeeettttt.....okay I'll....open my eyes", I hiccuped.

The sight of his tousled hair welcomed my eyes.

"Your hair is a mess Moose."

"You should see yours. It's like a bird's nest."

"Oh shush. It's as sleek as silk."

He snorted.
"Yeah right. Definitely your imagination."

I sobered up.
"So this is not an imagination then?"

He smiled.
"Nope."

I bit my lower lip,"So you're not mad at me anymore?"

He chose to stare at me for a while instead before he finally spoke up,"You really went to Abuja and didn't hug any man at the airport?"

I nodded, then shook my head, before nodding again, then shaking my head.
God I was so confused!

He laughed
"Alright alright. I get you. Stop stressing that petite brain of yours."

I gasped.
"Did you just call my brain petite?"

"Yup. You're petite. Therefore every part of you should be petite."

I glared at him.
He stuck his tongue out.

"No comebacks for that huh? What happened to my razor mouthed wife?? Where has she gone??", he picked up the pillows and made a gesture of searching beneath them.

It was my turn to snort.
"She's right here bruh. Just afraid you might hit her or something if she passes her boundaries."

He looked petrified for a while before sighing,"Oh Tisha. I must have really scared you with my attitude these past few months."
