Sam Pov
It's almost six in the evening,am supposed to pick Betty up at 6.45 p.m. but before that I have to drop Alice at her friend's house before I go to get my girlfriend.
We have been dating for one week and three days now. I still can't believe how it happened, I mean, I've known her less than a month but within that short time she has managed to get my attention, something that many girls in our school have been trying to do but they don't get it. I must admit that she's special coz she got my affection too without trying.
At first Dylan used to tease me about it but now she's become a part of me. I like her so much because she's loving, kind and caring and most of all, she's beautiful both inside and out. I used to mess with girls and not caring about them but with her, things are different. She's my first lady.
"Are you going to take me to Vee's or are you going to drown in the world of fantasies brother" Ally snaps me out of my thoughts and I smile at her before taking the car keys and heading out.
"Wierdo" I here Ally murmur as she follows me to the car
"Says the girl who picks fights with boys at school" I answer her
"I don't fight with boys,dummy, it's only Elam"
"Oh, I almost forgot about your.."
"Can you please shut your mouth Sam. I'm trying to concentrate here" Ally cuts me off as she reads a magazine.
"Whatever little sis" I say as I pull towards Vee's driveway.
Ally unbuckles her seat belt and gives me a smile as she opens the passenger door.
"Have a nice date Sam. Say hello to Betty" she says excitedly but I don't fail to note a flash of sadnesses cross her eyes.
"Hey Ally. What's wrong" I ask but she shakes her head and says nothing. "Common Ally, something is not okay. Please tell me what's wrong"
"Am okay Sam. Will you hurry and leave, you might keep your date waiting" I knew it.
"Ally, I love you and you know that right?" I hold her hands in my hands and when I look at her face, I see her biting her bottom lip trying to hold back her tears. "Don't worry about Betty. She's my girlfriend yes but you know you'll always have the first place in my heart" I wipe away her tears and hug her.
"Am sorry Sam. I just felt like I was going to loose you because you'll always be with her." She cries on my chest and I swear it takes all that is in me not to shed a tear. I promised myself to always look after Ally two years ago. I promised myself to always put her first before everything and I know that even though I am dating Betty, Ally will always come before her.
"Don't worry Ally. You'll always be my number one. Betty is a good girl and I know as time goes by, you'll become good friends" I smile at her and she returns the smile.
"I know that Sam. I like her because she's kind. I guess I was a just afraid. You should go now, you don't want her to be mad" she smiles again and this time I know that she means it.
"You're right. Well then, have fun and see you tomorrow. Say hello to Vee and her mum" I say as I wave at Ally who is walking to the front door.
"Yeah, I will" I hear her call back as I drive away.
"Hey first lady" I say as I see Betty standing at the gate waiting for me.
"Hey, what took you so long" she greets back giving me a "look"
"Common baby. Aren't you happy to see me"
"Babe, I thought you weren't even coming. It's 7.20 already" she gets on the passenger seat and buckles her seatbelt.
"Am sorry babe. I went to drop Ally at her friend's"
"Oh, how is she. I haven't seen her lately"
"She's good. She sent her greetings"
"Aaaw" she says then looks at me "And where are we going tonight"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out" I wink at her and she rolls her eyes "babe, you're hurting my ego"
"Yeah yeah, whenever I roll my eyes at you, your ego is bruised right" she rolls them again and then smiles at me.
"Can I teach you some Swahili" I ask as I hold her hand in mine while I drive with the other.
"Do you know how to speak Swahili?" she asks in amusement.
"That's not what I asked?"
"Yeah I know. I just got surprised"
"And" I raise and eyebrow at her and she nods yes.
"So give me any word that you want to know and I'll tell you in Swahili" I suggest and she turns her body to face me, excitement filling her face.
"How do you say, 'thank you' "
"That should be, 'Asanti' " she repeats the word twice and she gets it right "And to say welcome, you'll say 'Karibu' " she repeats that one almost thrice before she gets it.
"What about, Hello?"
"You'll say, 'Habari yako' or 'jambo' " i say smiling at her.
"I love you" she says she's simply as she waits for me to reply.
"Oh, don't tell me my charms already worked that first. And I thought it was going to take a year or more to fall in love with me. You're so easy.."
"You're so egoistic. What I meant is, how do you say ' I love you' in Swahili"
"I know babe. I was just kidding. Well for loving me you'll say. 'Nakupenda' "
"Nak- what did you say again"
"Na-ku-pe-nda" I say slowly
"Na- ku-pe-nda?" She says more as a question than a statement.
"Yeah. That's it"
"Wow. It's so fun and simple" she says as she plays with her hair.
"I can teach you more if you're interested "
"That's a good idea. I'd love to learn more Mr Sam"
"Okay but only if you never call me that again"
"Oh, why? Did I bruise your ego again" she asks laughing and I can't help but stare at how beautiful she is when she laughs.
"We are here first lady" I say as I park the car and go to her side to open her door.
"Why do you always call me that" she asks as she steps out of the car.
"Because you're the first girl I have ever fallen in love with and since calling you 'first girl' doesn't make any sense, I call you 'first lady' "
I know this chapter wasn't so great. I really didn't know what to right but I promise to make the next one as beautiful as you deserve 😂😂😂
See you on the next chapter
