Chapter 43- Lunch

Ini felt relaxed, more relaxed then she had been in months. She sat up in the bed alone, looking around the room. She made her way downstairs finding the kitchen empty.
The front door opened to her left.
"Ini! Your up"
He stepped in the door, "I was hoping to be back before you woke. I wanted to make you breakfast. I took you keys I hope you don't mind"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he dropped his bags.
She kissed his neck, "are you okey?"
She pulled back, "i am now"

Ini sat down at the breakfast bar while Victor made breakfast.
He kissed her cheek, "Last night was great"
"I'm going to relocate. Here, with you. For as much of the year as I can"
"I fly back at the end of the week, then I'll pack up things in Abuja. I should be with you by the end of the month"
"What if my father says no?" She looked to him.
"Will you still go?"
"Of course, Ini" he assured her with the smile she once fell in love for.
"Should we go out, together? Mhm. You can show me the city"
"No, sorry. I can't. I have plans today"

Ini wrapped her arms around herself, a summers dress on her. A new level of warmth in the air. She saw him coming down the street. Light shirt with the top button undone, his sunglasses hiding his eyes.

"Hi" she smiled.
"Hey"
"Thank you for coming"
"Do you want to go inside?"
"No, it's fine" Owen said.
"I care for you Ini. A great deal"
"I care for you too" she smiled.
He glanced away. "Can I meet your husband?"
She winced, "it might be a bit soon"
"But soon- he's moving here from Nigeria. You'll meet him"
"I'll see you back at the hospital" he nodded.
She pursed her lips and they parted, walking opposite directions to each other. They were never as close again.

Ini took off her sunglasses, folding them away as she stepped into the restaurant.
Ava stood to embrace her, "How did it go?"
They sat at their table.
"He's moving here- to be with me"
"That's good news isn't it?"
"I'm not sure if he will, he's very much under my fathers thumb"

There wasn't much she could say to that.
"I brought this" Ini said, after a moment "I always had it hidden when you were over"
She handed her a wedding folder.
Ava smiles, flicking through the photos.
"You look beautiful"
She nodded, "nearly ten years"
"My name is Inioluwa Orbán, legally anyway"
"Ill always be Musa, though"

A/n: Orbán: Aw-bn
