Finding Her Inner Self

Chapter Sixty Five ✨

||Chapter Sixty Five||
Ire.
The day finally arrived and Mobola was finally coming with me to London. We were currently on the plane with Mobola sitting next to me her head on my shoulder as she slept peacefully.

The rest of the group were also fast asleep. We left Abuja very early this morning so I don't blame them for sleeping but I just couldn't fall asleep my mind wandering to a lot of things. Would muffin love to see where I grew up? Meet my friends and family. Yes I was Nigerian but I lived all of my life in England and I was more British than anything. I wondered how Mobola would say to that when she sees me mixing with my family.

My mum would like her that's for sure and since they've already met once but it's my dad I'm worried about. I don't want him to say something to scare off Mobola. My dad and I don't have the best relationship as you can see, he's a very stiff person who loves to control everything and everyone. So we don't exactly mix since he's never once been supportive of me.

He only saw me as the heir to the entire William fortune, pressurized me into not messing up as it could cost me my entire life and the reputation of my family as I know it. Although he loved my mum dearly, that I knew but he just never seemed to show me that love as a father. I've never seen him smile once at me. I only remember him scolding and nagging me. Our family is very respected in London because my mum comes from a line of part royalty. Her grandmother was a duchess and her great grandmother was a countess so we were pretty important.

My family was pretty large, I had a lot of distant cousins and uncles and aunts and most of em were British. I don't exactly know much about my dad's side cos they didn't always visit us in England although my sister knows most of em since they all showed up for her traditional wedding. All I'm saying is that I'm from a really powerful family and I don't know if that alone might scare off Mobola when she gets there and realizes it all.
I can't afford to loose her. I hope she's able to blend in perfectly.

After a couple of long hours the plane finally landed at Heathrow Airport in London. It was late in the evening and since it winter the weather was extremely cold. I had already arranged special convoy to come pick us up immediately we landed. We were all in different cars as they drove to our hotel.
I arranged for my friends to stay in the shard hotel. One of the best hotels in London.

Mobola and I rode alone in the car as I watched her stare outside of the windows in admiration. She shivered a bit rubbing both her arms with her hands as she continued looking through the windows to view the city of London.
I immediately wrapped her in my jean jacket making a mental note to take her winter shopping for coats.

"I can't believe I'm really in London" She said with an awestruck smile as she turned to look at me.

"You are Muffin" I said with a smile of my own.

"Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming. I think I'm dreaming Ire" she moved towards me shaking in disbelief .

My lips morphed into a mischievous smirk as I gave her arm a pinch causing her to squeal in pain.

"Ow! Ire" she said with a pout causing me to laugh.

"You aren't dreaming muffin" .

"Oh my God Ire! I really am in London. This is just so exciting! I can't wait to see everything. See where you grew up. I want to see it all Ire" she said with an excited smile on her face.

"And you will Muffin, but first you've got to rest..You've had a long flight" I said hugging her close to me.

"You're right. We'll both tour the city after I rest. I can't wait to meet your family Ire. I'm so happy" she said giving me a short kiss on the lips before hugging me close to her the same excited smile on her face that made me more nervous than I already was.
I hope this was a good idea bringing her here.
