Hey dear, I know you are probably wondering, how things are going to go from here, after all we have no one to blame yet 😊.
Ehn!! be patient small 😉 😂!!
-----------------------------------------
Elfreda was glad she got home early, it was just 4:00pm, enough time to prepare dinner.
She was going to prepare his best food. She knew how much Felix liked Pounded Yam with Melon soup.
She set the paper bags on the kitchen counter, ready to get to work.
Felix was in for a surprise today, stock fish, tunas, pkomo, cow leg.
She was going to spoil him today, she smiled.
She washed the meat and set them to steam, then dashed to the living room to put on the stereo.
She needed music, she was so happy. "why am I feeling so alive?" She wondered.
She had not felt this way in a long time, so much energy...
She could feel love dancing in her heart; "oh God! I love this man to pieces" she thought.
She soon found Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" on her playlist...
"...when your legs don't move like they used to before... and I can't sweep you up of your feet...", she sang along, dancing towards the kitchen.
-----------------------------------------
An hour and half soon flew by...
The house was filled with a mouth watering aroma.
Elfreda stepped into the living room, looking beautiful, she was ready for an amazing evening with her love.
She wore a short black gown and flat sole slippers, underneath was her lingerie..
She looked around, satisfied, she went to the cellar to pick a bottle of wine.
She finally settled for one, it had "CHÂTEAU LA TOUR CARNET MÉDOC PASSION 2009" inscribed on it.
"Well..." she sighed "plenty French means its romantic"...
Felix was better at this, picking wine for occasions, one of his hobbies was collecting vintage wines.
He was definitely proud of his collection, with dates from 1890 to 2014.
She set the wine on the table, taking a step back to observe the view.
"Good!" She said to herself.
Just then, the sound of a car horn caught her attention, "oh quick!" She said to herself skipping towards the stereo.
"you can't have a romantic dinner without romantic music...", she thought.
She pressed the play button then turned down the volume until all you could hear was the soft hums of jazz in the background.
She chose the seat opposite the door, "the first thing he sees when he opens that door will be this stunning goddess of beauty", she thought to herself, trying to keep a straight face like an actress.
Someone grabs the door knob...
Felix opened the door laughing hysterically at something Mihre had said...
Mihre was Felix's cousin, he just finished serving at the National Youth Service Corp and was in town to make some job applications.
"Oh Damn!" Elfreda thought, she had totally forgotten about Mihre, Felix had told her he was coming over today and would stay for a week.
She went straight to Felix, "Oh Baby welcome", She said, hoping he won't noticed how embarrassed she was.
Felix hugged her, enjoying her embrace , he was so tired.
"Hmmm you smell nice" Felix said taking note of the house, everything seemed deliberate.
"What's the occasion?" Felix asked peering her face for a clue.
No way she was getting roped into explaining herself this evening, she quickly kissed home to distract him, then pulled him towards the chair.
"My love sit down, you look so stressed", she said now getting worried.
"Good evening Sister", said Mihre as he stepped into view carrying a box and a small bag pack.
"How are you?" She asked wondering why he had to choose today of all days to come over.
The rest of the evening was spent with a lot of chitchat and catching up as Mihre had a lot of funny stories that kept them laughing their eyes out.
Later that night...
Elfreda stared at the ceiling, letting her mind wander from thought to thought, she turned to look at Felix.
He looked so peaceful in his sleep, she had wanted to share her plans for the night and the funny outcome with him but he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
She drew closer to him, sliding her arm under his arm and around his chest she hugged him and kiss him.
"Goodnight my heartbeat", she said...
She switched off the bedside lamp and let her mind drift away.
