Sunday morning, -leaving for Enugu.
"You're making me wait too long baby."
"I'm sorry I'm coming down in a minute." She yelled from upstairs.
The pretty woman walked majestically dragging her trolly behind her, the white suit trouser, baby pink blazers and pink veil look elegant but yet so tiny on her, it accentuated every curve, he stared closely and smiled.
"Come here baby, do you know how hot you look in that suit?"
"Yes, hot like a heater." She said as she placed her hands on his shoulders.
"Good now do you know what this heat is doing to me?"
"Oh no! Is somebody having a rock in his boxers? Please say no, we don't have a minute to spare." She acted surprised.
"Well yes, someone has Kilimanjaro in his boxers, just imagine what this will do to other men out there." He placed his hands on her hips as he spoke.
She giggled on hearing that and whispered "so what do we do now ?"
"First we'll spare a minute for this hard on, and then we'll get you larger sizes of this beautiful suit, I don't want any man breathing around you." He stated matter of factly.
"Baby, you know we can't get rid of that, and we won't always have a minute to spare, and we wouldn't want to miss this flight."
"I know." He whispered as his lips took a quick hug with hers and dot dot dot...

"Give us the extra sizes of this sample of suits please." He said to the shop keeper.
"Baby I'll be looking too wacky in it, please I like me hot like this."
"And that heat is just for me alone, extra sizes it is."
"Okay fine, anything for you."
"Good girl." He said as he wipes her cheeks off.
"See we've missed our flight now."
"Is it my fault? You know it's your fault."
"It no one's fault."
"Are you sure?" He winked as he asked the question.
"Come here." He reached for her hands and gently hugged her from behind.
"Please don't go, can we just forfeit this job interview thing so I'll keep you all to myself, please baby." He whispered.
"You can always work in my company, any position you want, you know I can grant you just that right?"
"Baby you know we are in a public place, can we stop this PDAing and just talk like normal couples do ?"
"I'm worried about you leaving and you're worried about the PDA?" He asked as he tightened the hug.
"Aww, I'm sorry babe, I just don't want us to have another Rock down there."
He laughed hard and stayed a little longer in the warm embrace.
The shop keeper interrupted the love birds with their items. He quickly collected them paid the bills and they left for the airport.
Jhonny his Dad's old driver, drove them to the airport as he made sure he went there with her Himself, he made necessary documentations for her, traveled with her, made sure she got a comfortable hotel to check in, Before he left.
"I'll miss you big baby." She said.
" I'll miss you more baby, you know you can always come home you don't have to stay the whole two days right?"
"I know, baby, and I'll see to that."
"Please do!"
She ran into his arms one last time and linger a little longer in his warm embrace that day before he left.
"Take care of yourself okay."
"I will, you too, come home soon."
"It's only two days baby, two days!"
"If not for the company, I'd have just stayed with you!"
"I know! Love you!"
"Love you more!"
He said before taking a cab to the nearest airport, and booked a quick VIP flight to kaduna.
He thought about her all through the journey, and he tried to reschedule his life for the two days she'll be absent, knowing it won't be easy at all.
Meanwhile the woman already made new friends in the arena who also came for the job interview and they got to gist about marriage life and how men start to change after few months of marriage.
The slim one Lubaba was talking about how scary marriage is and why she didn't want to venture into that yet until she becomes financially stable to take care of herself cause she wouldn't even dare be a liability as she knew what her mum was facing in her fathers house.
The pretty ebony Igbo lady talked about how her husband cheated on her with her best friend and how she caught him red handed one time in their matrimonial bed.
The stories really touched Zayba, but she didn't understand what it felt like, her mum was a full housewife and wasn't facing anything that she knew of.
And her Fuad has been the best gift life has given her, it's been two years of togetherness, a gentleman in the whole of his glory, a Mufti Menk with Justin Bieber vibes, what else could she ask for? he was just a dream come true.
Awwwn, Mufti menk with Justin Bieber vibes damn! Mad combo!
Love, Nazy💙
