*Jezzabelles Pov*

"This place is really beautiful Emmet" I say hugging my husband while looking around at all the animals,

"I never knew Africa was this beautiful" I say while holding onto his arm,

"Look there's giraffes!" I shrieked while pointing out into the Savannah that we could see from our hotel room,

"Honey there's alot of things to explore but first we have to finish fixing our hotel room since last night was a pretty wild night" he says with a smirk as I rolled my eyes before hearing a knock,

"Room service" A voice says as my eyes widened,

"If they see that the beds broken what are they gonna do?!" I gasped trying to cover the broken bed as Emmet laughs before opening the door,

"The rooms all yours ma'am" Emmet says before pulling me out of the room as I tried to finish throwing everything in a pile,

"Its her job to fix the room baby, so just let her" he says while pulling me down the hall as I frowned,

"Lets go sight seeing now" he says as we walk into the hotel lobby,

We walked out of the hotel seeing many tourists coming and going in buses and other vehicles.

"Tour guide?" Emmet asks as the man in front of a bus like vehicle nods while pointing at the sign by his door as I read the prices,

"20 rands for an hour ride per person" I say pointing at the 1st chose of prices as Emmet nods before handing the man the money,

"Lets go!" The man shouts happily as we got into his vehicle sitting down by an elderly couple who were smiling at each other while holding hands,

"Good morning" The woman says noticing us sitting in front of them as I smile at her,

"Good Morning ma'am" I say respectfully as she looks at me and Emmet back and forth,

"Boyfriend?" She asks smiling at us as I showed her my ring finger,

"Husband" I replied as she gasps before looking at us in awe,

"You kids look so young" She replied as the man next to her chuckles,

"Remember when we were like that?" He asks while kissing her cheek as she blushes,

"I remember it as if it was yesterday" she says putting her hand up to caress his cheek before turning to us with a smile,

"Oh I almost forgot, my name is Florida Evans and this is my husband Curtis" The woman says putting her hand out as I shook it,

"I'm Jezzabelle and this is my husband Emmet" I replied as she nods,

"You guys are tourists?" She asks as I nod happily,

"Well, welcome to Africa. The beautiful place I'm proud to call home" The woman says as me and Emmet look out the window to see the beautiful Savannah around us,

"This is also the place I met my husband 66 years ago" She replied as my eyes widened,

"How old were you guys when you guys met?" I ask confused and surprised at the same time,

"9" They both replied at the same time before laughing as I smiled at how cute they looked,

"We met at the age of 9 at the broken down church by the side road near the lake a few miles from the hotel we were just at" She says as I smiled,

"How long have you guys been married?" I asked as she stated at her ring finger with a golden ring on it,

"57 years" She says as I sat there stunned,

"We got married right after my Florida turned 18" Her husband says staring at her with a wide grin as gushed over how much love was shown just by the way they looked at each other,

"So that would mean you guys are 75?" I ask in shock as they nod,

"You guys look way younger then that" I replied with a scoff as they laughed,

"How many years have you two been married?" The woman asks with a grin,

"5 years this friday" I replied as her eyes widened,

"Already? You kids look like a new wedded couple" She says as I laughed,

"Oh no, after my 3rd kid my body looks nowhere near new" I replied as she laughs,

"You have 3 kids?" The man asks in shock as I nodded,

"Yep, twins and a little boy. And many more to come" I sayw with a wink as the lady laughs,

"I have 7 and they're all grown now" She says with a little frown as I awed,

"When their young it feels like their going to be kids forever but when they hit the age where they're dating and wanting to settle down, time goes by so quick that you wouldn't even know how they got to pack their things and leave in a flash" She says as I thought about my babies growing up,

"How old are your kids?" The woman asks as I shook away the sad thoughts of remembering that kids grow up quicker then you think,

"My twins are almost 5 now and my baby boy is a little over 8 months" I replied as she smiles while putting her hand over her chest,

"That's the stage where their all cute and adorable huh?" She asks as I nod,

"Your lucky, mine are in their late 30's now and all I have is my grand kids but most of them don't even come for a single visit" She says with a sigh as I frowned,

"Well, I love all of my kids and grandkids anyways so I forgive the-hey! We're surrounded by beautiful animals" She says with a big smile now as I looked around seeing different Savannah animals walking around the vehicle we were in.
