"Brown eyes were never my favourite until I saw yours."
Sheikh Mansion.

The first person I set my eyes on in the lounge was 'her,my girl'. I missed her terribly for the past two weeks that she wasn't around. Abuja was cold and funny how kano felt warm to me all because of her.

I'm what people call a 'spoilt brat'. My father adores me so much that I do whatever I want and get away with it. Ammi has been against me right from day one and always makes sure to correct me where possible but Dad is not getting it. He loves all his children but everybody knows am special and with me studying what he wanted ya Sadam to study 'business' it topped it all.
I'm a badminton person and love gyming alot. I'm literally obsessed with working out and it paid off. I love whatever 'my girl' loves. Call it a sick obsession but I'm wherever she is my heart, body and soul.
I remembered the stunt i pulled last month which had her angry at me and i almost ran mad cos of how she cut me off. I did that just for her as I felt like she wasn't giving me the attention I deserved and totally messed up.
She was so engrossed in the conversation she was having with our cousins that she didn't feel my presence until I engulfed her in a warm hug that even I could sense how startled she was before she succumbed and relaxed knowing only I can do that with her. 'Areef' Oh how I miss that name rolling off her lips.
She named me 'Areef' so that only she can call me that and I'm so in love with the name since she's the only one that says it. The name was never better until it rolled off her lips fluently. Armani is my best friend and more. I can write a book about her but not now I miss 'my girl'.
She turned around and hugged me well. We stayed for like two minutes before she released me smiling. Our cousins started shouting and hyping us but she just shaked her head and went back to the conversation she was having before I arrived.
I met my peers and got into a conversation which mostly was about the stunt I pulled.
Aslam: "Shege kaga yadda ka daga wa mutane hankali kuwa? Kar kazo kaga Anne ma."
Karim: "Allow him, I for deal with the hell out of you had i been there."
Me: "Oh jeez, you guys are not allowed to talk about that. I can't risk Armani hearing this."
Idris: "Dan Allah matsa daga nan. Baka da magana kullum sai ta Armani."
Karim: "Baiwar Allah Anne harda drip tasha wallahi." He excused himself to answer a call.
Aslam: "Mtcheeew na nawa kuma, we talked about it when she arrived."
Me: "kutt why did you even talk to her in the first place you know very well I don't want you guys associating with her."
