Till I met you ✅

Chapter thirteen

                  ***********†**********

Leah's POV

The rays of light from the window reflected on me which make me wake up from my beauty sleep. Stretching my legs and arms, I looked up only to see my beautiful sister with Gaby, then it dawned on me that's I returned yesterday morning... "Holy shit", I exclaimed. My handsome Clark, "the love of my life". Remembering his face and how sad he looked made my eyes tear up...

    *flash back*

"Hurray up guys, we have to be at the airport by 7am", Mr blooms involved us as we hurriedly packed the remaining of our belongings to our various boxes.

With 15minutes, we were done. We hit the road after saying a short prayer and just in time, we reached the airport.

Pushing my luggage through the doors, I remembered my moments with Clark. Tears filled my eyes and in no time, I started crying. As I was about to open my bag to get my handkerchief, I felt warm hands embracing me from behind. There and then, I knew it was my handsome Clark..

Like they say, the owner knows his or her property, so why don't I know my baby love.

The checking of our luggages were delayed so we had time to be together.

We talked and played until a voice spoke near us. "Hey", the voice said.

Looking up, we both saw Scott with a broad smile..

"Hey man", he stood up to greet Scott who was still standing staring at us.

"Wasup dude", Scott replied and sat down.

We had great time together like family. We talked and talked and talked until an announcement was loudly made..

Checking in order!  checking in order!

I stood up, kissed Clark and went straight up to check my belongings. I was among the first set to check in. I left immediately I was checked in and ran to Clark.

This is it.. My last moment before leaving. I didn't plan it to be like this.. It hurt so bad. Scott excused himself leaving only Clark and I. We heard music playing from no where and we started dancing. It was a slow song so we danced to the beat.

He placed his two hands on my waist while my hands were on his shoulders.. I couldn't believe my eyes when I felt tears dropping from them.

"Don't cry", he said wiping my tears away with an handkerchief from his jacket pocket and placed it back.

We danced and danced. I didn't want to go, but have reached the last part. My family needed me, my dad and sister and even baby Gaby. I missed them so much but now, I will miss Clark more.

Magically, he brought out a bouquet of flowers and handed it to me.. I perceived the nice scent from it and I loved it.

"Thanks love, I will for.....", I was still talking when he knelt down and brought out a beautiful box from his jacket pocket.

He opened the box and smiled. Deep in my mind, I thought he was going to propose but I was wrong. He brought out a necklace and bracelet. They were beautiful.

On the necklace was a key, a not to big key nor a small key.. It was just perfect.
He stood up and placed it on my neck.. It was magnificent.

He did the same to the bracelet. Just then I looked at his neck and saw the replica of the necklace, the padlock, on his neck.

Curious to know the significant of both key and padlock, I asked him, "babe, what does this mean", I said pointing to his neck.

"Ooooooooh", he exclaimed!

I smiled at him and there, it dawned on me what they both meant.

Looking straight in his eyes, I saw nothing but love. I hugged him really tight until I saw the name inscribed on the bracelet. "Clark".

Pulling apart, I said, "I want something of urs to keep me going".

"But you have the key to my heart", he replied sarcastically and laughed.

I joined him laughing and soon enough our heads came face to face and we emerged in a long romantic French kiss.

The kiss deepened more and more. I was ready to pull apart, so was he. He raised me up and the kiss deepened even more. It was like forever. We didn't care if anyone was watching. We kissed until the claps of the people, both young and old, rang into our heads.

We pulled apart and looked around.. It was amazing.. Everyone smiled at us as if we were a movie. I was shy at first but he pulled me in a warming hug, there all courage bestowed on me.

As people passed us, they congratulated us like we were engaged. It was a fulfilling morning and I didn't want it to end. I started daydreaming of our engagement when the announcement caught me short..

It was time to go, time to be away from my better half. Time to say our goodbyes and this tore my heart apart.. The thought of how we will both cope without eachother started ringing in my head and headache started singing it's way in.

"I will always love you", Clark said waking me up from my think world.
I look up and saw tears in his eyes.

"I will forever love you", I added already crying.

We hugged and kissed for the last time before turning to meet my friends. As I took few steps forward, I ram back to Clark and hugged him really tight then a thought came to me.

I exchanged our jackets and whispered, "Don't ever let go of this jacket".

"I won't love", he replied and kissed me.

"My regards to Scott", I said and boomed, Scott appeared.

I hugged Scott and hugged Clark tightly..

"Leah", Mr blooms called me and I pulled apart. "Take good care of him", I told Scott and kissed Clark before leaving. 

Within 30minutes, we were already flying. I hugged Clark jacket so tight.. I cried and cried my eye balls out. I love my baby boo. I started praying in my mind and requested two things from God. Either I go back or he comes to Nigeria for me. And then, I zoomed in a peaceful sleep.

   *flash back ends*

Touching my neck to fell the necklace Clark gave to me, I started crying.

"This is going to be hard for me, but I know my family will make things a bit better", I said in my mind.

Then I looked at the bracelet on my wrist and said, "I love you clark".
