CHAPTER 35

RUFI:

I've always looked forward to this day. The day I become an undergrad,  Ivan volunteered to drive Abbi and i to our first class.

"you'd be a good girl?" He asked

"yes daddy" I rolled my eyes "so long as no one tries to bully me"

He leans in close to me and whispers "Anyone who bullies my baby will answer to me"

I locked gaze with his silver blue eyes and see that beneath the joke was seriousness. Electricity hummed between us and I drew in a sharp breath when I realize I'd been holding my breath.

How does he do it?  Change the cool calm air into sizzling electrifying in a second. Instinct took over and i found my hand on his chest as i leaned in to kiss him.

"hmm-mm" Abbi had to ruin the moment "since when did i become so invisible?"

Ivan's hand had somehow made it into my hair and has his hands gently massage my scalp he answered Abbi "for now you are" then sealed our moment.

I got so lost in his taste that I couldn't say if it was a few seconds, minutes or hour that passed before Abbi yelled "save this smooching for later na!"

With that we pulled apart though reluctantly and he stroke my cheek with his thumb "stay save" he kissed my head "you know I love you right?"

I nodded solemnly "I love you too"

"OK OK!" Abbi "Mr Ivan Martinez I need to get out of here and with my best friend"  Ivan made a move to kiss me again and Abbi shocked me my going local "If you try am! Na wetin self?"

Laughter erupted from deep inside me "you don repent? You no dey form ni?"

Ivan flexed his muscles looking at both of us in astonishment. "OK" he said Wowed.

"form?" Abbi laughed "Who is forming? A beg comot for moto make we waka"

"later babe" I told Ivan still laughing as i exit the car and he shook his head clearly amused.

IVAN:

      After dropping off the duo i went off to the honey source to start the days activity.  I had two meetings lined up and one was with the board members of Papa's company.

    Talking about papa,  his divorce proceedings with mum will be finalized tomorrow.  He is soon to be a free man.

Free man?

    Papa might be free legally from mother  but I know the hurt and betrayal will always be with him.  He loved her and she broke him.

    I hate to think I have that woman's blood flowing through my veins. I have her eyes and hair.

A smile crept into my face. Things that fascinates Rufi so much. She might have done this one thing right,  given me her physical features but definitely no drop of her character made it to my genes.

My phone rang. Oh yeah!
"Miss me already" I laughed into the phone.

"I love you" And the line cut.

Now what was that?
"Rufina Rose brown,  you never cease to amaze me".

I texted her.
I love you too.  Kisses

I stepped out of my jeep and inhaled the cool October weather that came with the honey smell in the air.

The Honey Source is flourishing.
