Her hands were wrapped around the mug of steaming hot coffee , she was sitting in the balcony gazing at the beautiful sight as the wind blew faster making the atmosphere beautiful and chilly. The wind whistle past her ears she closes her eyes , enjoying the beautiful and peaceful moment . “ A penny for your thoughts ” his husky voice broke in to her thick web of thoughts. Nothing just enjoying the moment she smiled.
Hmm, he inched closer towards her, a few tendrils of her hair were kissing her cheeks he placed them behind her ears as he nuzzled his face on her neck , making her tense. I thought you were day dreaming about your husband .

Okay, my love I will be waiting at the living room downstairs , he said placing a kiss on her lips as he walked out of the room . Bahijah stood up and walked to the bathroom , she took a shower and then got dressed in a peach top and a blue Palazzo . She applied a nude makeup and slipped into a peach Louis Vuitton flat shoe and took her her blue side bag as she walked out of the room. She met him in the living room reading some messages on his phone. Am done she said . Adam looked up fixing his gaze on her , Go and change he said nonchalantly

Okay he chuckled. He pulled up to a beautiful restaurant with a valet . Who opened the door for Bahijah , Adam came out and handed the key to the boy. As the valet drove off with the car, he grabbed her hand walking into the building . It was a beautiful and classy former filled with ladies and gents dressed in expensive wears. They rode the elevator to the top floor as their hands were still entwined. They met a young man in a suit sitting in a corner . He quickly stood up when he saw them walking towards him. Good evening Mr Dikko , how can I help you and your lovely company.
Good evening Muhammad, this is my wife and I want a private table with a beautiful view , I hope you get what I mean.
Ofcourse sir, follow me. He said as he led the way. They walk through a hall filled with different people as some were eating with their families , partners and some were having a business meeting as the man led them to a private room with a large table with soft cushion seats that will let your body sink right down in them with huge window, the interior design of the room was golden and off white . The atmosphere was quiet. Come with me Adam said as he guided her to the window wrapping his arms around her waist .
Wow!! Bahijah gasped when she looked through the window . This is beautiful she said gazing at the beautiful sight out side the window.  I know one of the best views of the city .
Which one is the best . She asked
Do you want to see it ?
