Fun Fact- Kissing.

This couple's record-breaking kiss is incredible.
According to the Guinness World Records, the record for the longest-lasting kiss goes to Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat of Thailand. These champion smoochers locked lips for 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds. (No word on if they got bathroom breaks, but we're thinking that would have been a mood-kill

Unknown's Point Of View (P.O.V)

"Your beauty's like a sunshine, coming through my rainy days. O funmi ni itura (you make me feel relieved and relaxed), you take my pains away," he said to her.

"Your smile is a painkiller, adun mara dan orente (my young glowing lady). You take my breath away" he said again while she kept on blushing shyly, twelve months after they met.

He had met and dated several different ladies. He had come in contact with lots of women and had been able to penetrate the defensive walls of their lives either with his good looks or his fat account balance.

Some he loved temporarily, others he was nice to, some he used and abandoned, and many, he just had fun with, only to while time away. But surprisingly, he discarded and waved off every lady he had ties with, the moment he met Ann. He was determined to settle down several months after they met.

He believed she was no ordinary lady. She was worthy of him, he couldn't toy with her life and she was a lifetime treasure to whoever owns her. Ann, was the one for him, she was the missing part of him which he had finally found and was ready, and willing to keep.

'Babes, you're my home. I know it's kind of too early to say this, but I want to keep you. I want to have you by my side for my remaining days, I want to be with you. Anny, I want to make you mine. You make me feel so complete,' Jireh explained deeply to Ann whose cheeks were evidently high above their natural positions, as a result of constant blushing.

'Say something. You cannot remain silent after all I've said," Jireh pleaded.

'Kolawole mi,'(my Kolawole), she said carefully.

She refers to him by his surname, on his demand. Because of the way she carefully articulates the name, which he says, gives him butterflies in his stomach.

'I know what you feel for me is real and I want you to know that I feel the same way about you too. But we still have time. We don't have to rush things. I love you and you love me, that's all that matters,' she talked back.

'And I want to stay with you too. But let's take things one at a time,' she concluded.

'Okay babes. Anything you say. Anything her majesty wishes.' He said while getting up from his seat which was opposite hers across the table in the restaurant they were seated in, and made a bow gesture which made her burst into laughter.

'I promise to always make you laugh darling. I'd always make you happy, because you deserve it. I love you baby girl,' he confessed.

'I love you better,' she muttered and blew him a kiss from her seat almost immediately as the waiter appeared with their orders.

'I'm famished. Can we eat please?,' Ann asked, squeezing her face.

'Anything her majesty wishes,' he said again. She burst out laughing and took hold of the cutleries in preparation to eat.
