"Ornella Lola Mpemba!" I shouted, "I mean... Kitembo!"
"I'm coming!" she called from the bedroom. "Two minutes!"
"What are you even doing in there?!"
"Stop yelling, Sani!" she yelled, and I detected laughter in her voice. "I just want to look as cute as I did that day. Is it a crime?!"
I sucked my teeth. "Nella, you always look cute! In fact, it's humanly impossible for you not to! Let's just go!"
"Two minutes!"
"Ahh, me I'm leaving you." I said under my breath when the two extra minutes were over.
"Eh-eh... All this for B.A.K?" Nella said now, standing over me looking more than cute, looking stylish in an outfit she called tomboy chic.
"All of this for the place where we had our first kiss, you mean." I said, standing in front of her, my hands immediately convering her twenty week baby bump as I leaned in for a quick kiss.
She smirked. "So how were you going to kiss me later if you left me?"
"I don't know." I laughed. "I hadn't thought that far yet. You look amazing."
"And you look so yum! I told you this racecar jacket would suit you well." she gushed and grabbed my ass with both hands, I swear if she weren't pregnant I would have thought she was drunk.
"You play too much." I smirked mischievously, grabbing her in the same way and giving her another kiss. "Are you finally ready to go?"
"I am. But we have to go in your new car." she said, holding out keys with a golden bow on them.
I narrowed my eyes in confusion. "Nella, what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about your brand new Porsche 911 GT3 which is waiting outs—" her sentence ended in a shriek as I lifted her off the floor and spun her around.
"Boy, I'm still very pregnant and will not be held responsible if I throw up all over your fresh cut." she said through her giggles and I put her down immediately, studying her face to be sure I hadn't done too much.
Nella was laughing hysterically, tears in the corners of her eyes as she held her belly with one hand and balanced against my chest with the other.
"Good, you're okay. Let's go!" I said, salivating at the thought of seeing the new car my wife bought me.
"Wait." she said, taking deep breaths. "I need to pee."
"You literally just peed a while ago! I heard you flush." I complained, not wanting to be separated from my new car any longer.
"See your sons, Lord?" Nella said, slowly walking away from me with a smug look on her face. "They impregnate us and then complain when we have to pee every five minutes."
