Fun Fact_ Men cheat more than Women
(Nobody knows this fact like I do 🙄😣)

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

'I love you baby. Always,' he said after he pulled out of the kiss.

'I was only picturing us both, on the beach, chasing each other, sunbathing, talking and laughing at our own shit. Babes, I want to be on that beach with you someday. I want to carry you bridal style and throw you playfully into the water. I want to see your reaction when you get drenched in water against your wish. I want to see that cute face of yours when you throw tantrums about getting soaked. I want to see your hair wet and  dripping down your body. That what I was thinking of, that was what made me smile. Believe me, I wasn't looking at the...' he quickly turned his face to give the blonde lady an annoying glance before continuing.

'..frog', he concluded and walked forward to stand in front of her.

'Come here,' Ann said and opened her arms to give him a welcoming and forgiving hug, which made the restaurant occupants mumur loudly.

'Did you see that?' a very young girl in the restaurant shouted at a young boy of her age who was with her, capturing everyone's attention again.

'That's true love. Thats how real men apologize. I've caught you cheating on me for more than a million times and you find it impossibly difficult to say sorry. When will you ever do something as sweet as this to me?' she asked and began sobbing.

The young boy was dumbfounded and was wanting to say something when she interrupted him.

'I need some space. Really Brian. This whole relationship would be a on hold until you apologize to me in front of that bitch you always cheat with. I deserve some love too,' she said and began packing her bag and phones to walk away.

'And Brian, no calls, no messages, until you do what's right. Frustrated pervert!' She spat and walked quickly out of the restaurant.

The place remained quiet for a few seconds, before everyone went back to having their meals again.

'Were you serious about what you said? About wanting to be on the beach with me?' she inquired, looking into Jireh's eyes.

'I meant every word,' he replied.

'And when have you become so shameless that you give someone a french kiss in public without notice? What if...'

"I wanted to let the frog know what she needed to know. And besides, you have nothing to be shy of, this is Budapest in Hungary, far away from home. Nobody knows us and nobody cares about such things here your majesty. Put your mind at ease,' he said and bowed.

'Uhmm hmm! So, can we leave now?' she asked.

'Anything her majesty wishes,' he said and she laughed.

They were about walking out of the restaurant when she said,

'One minute. I want to get a cup of coffee. I'll meet you in the car shortly,' she smiled at him and he walked out.

She walked towards the reception and placed an order for a cup of coffee, dipped her left hand into her jean back pocket and brought out her phone, unlocked it and tapped the message icon to send an SMS to him.

'Hey Romeo?🤩'

'Hi Julie?❤️'

'Coffee is being made, but I'm thinking'

'What about?'

'Guess'

'I'm terrible at it'

'Try. Please!'

'Okay. You want to go shopping?😉'

'Yuck!🤮 No! Wrong!'

'I thought so'

'I was thinking of your wish'

'My wish?'

'Was I wishing for something?'

'I don't know. I don't care. But wish granted'

'Babes, I don't remember any wish'

'The water!'

'Ma'am, your coffee', the corporately dressed male waiter said, making her slip her phone back into her pocket.

'Thank you,' she said and looked towards the cash desk to notice it was vacant. Just immediately her phone beeped to signify she had a new message.

'Sorry, how do I make payment. The cashier isn't on seat,' she asked looking at the waiter with a dull pale skin and a neatly brushed hair with a wide long nose and flat lips.

'You can have it. I saw you and your man a while ago. He loves you truly. I could see it,' he said happily.

'Thank you so much,' she said. 'I really appreciate this. Have a wonderful night.' She said, and checked out her message which read;

"How much is your bride price? I'll make a transfer to Mrs. Blessing right away. You're the luck detected in my zodiac sign!!! I adore you.
Meet me in the water already. "

She exited the restaurant shaking her head and almost bursting into laughter.

She walked to the car at the restaurant's parking lot as fast as her legs could take her to catch Jireh looking straight at the direction she was coming from. She got to the passenger side of the car, stood, leaned forward, towards the glass and knocked on it. Jireh wind down the glass so he could hear what she has to say. She folded and placed her elbows on the locked car door, looked in at him and asked;

'Missing me already? Can't stay 5 minutes without me?'

'Not at all. I was already beginning to think you were modelling for the guys in there. You know? she smiled and got into the car.

'Well, before I forget, I just want to tell you that my bride price is a million dollars.' She said looking at her hand which was sweaty as a result of holding the hot coffee cup.

'You'd be surprised if I told you you're worth more than that. You're priceless babes.' He said as he drove them away from the restaurant.

'Okay. Thank you, I know sir,' she said while wiping her hands with his handkerchief.

'Why didn't you take a cup sleeve back there?' he asked, focusing on the road ahead.

'I was being fed love talks I forgot to take a cup sleeve,' she said, sipping from the coffee.

'Love talks? By who?' he asked curiously.

'No one. The waiter only praised you,' she said and took a sip of the coffee again.

'So, your majesty, when are we going to the beach?' he asked turning to look at Ann who was now looking out of the window at the brightly lit street with beautiful tall buildings.

'Tomorow. Friday. At noon. By 12pm." She said playfully.

'Anything her majesty wishes. But for now, let's get you back to the hotel,' he said and sped through the streets, in their fancy Lamborghini, towards the hotel they lodged in, to retire for the day.
