To be enclosed in his arms has been what I’ve always dreamt of from the moment I saw him. This thought and dream kept on lingering on my mind all the time, and… experiencing this right now is like a dream come true.
Who could have imagined that Steph will experience this kind of love someday?
My childhood was a mess!
I am a product of a broken home: a home where my father constantly abused my loquacious mother amidst his unfaithfulness; a home where tears became the meal of my mother and my father was drunk in his pride and promiscuity.
My mother was fed up with his constant abuse, chronic drunkenness and incessant extra marital affairs. It got to the point that she was carried away by rage and she stabbed him multiple times with the kitchen knife. My father met his end instantly, and my mother was sentenced to Life imprisonment.
My aunt took the 4-year-old me into her home and maltreated me; treating me as though I were the reason for the calamities that befell my family.
So, yes! I didn’t experience love since my childhood! I hated Love! I detested Love!
However, this hatred began to wear out when I met my favorite girls who were once my room mates in the school’s hostel when we were freshers in the University of Ibadan.
With their push, I attempted dating twice, but luck was against me.
Although I detested love, I felt the deep emptiness somewhere inside of me. Maybe that was why I couldn’t allow Steve to pass me by.
Yes! I yearned for the care, the affection and the love I couldn’t get as a child. I looked forward to a relationship that will be a better version of the toxic relationship my parents had.
Today marks the 1st week anniversary of our relationship which began on Friday night/Saturday morning (midnight) 5th/6th August 2022.
Steve and I wanted this day to be a remarkable one, hence we planned a date on the beach, but it didn’t work out so we changed our plans to a dinner night in his 2-bedroom apartment.
He cooked the meal Oh, yea! That’s him trying to prove that he is the best cook. He has been treating me like a queen since we began this journey together, and I feel so comfortable around and with him.
You remember when I made the first move last week Friday Night, right?
Yea! It was hell of a night! We had a video call that lasted for more than 3 hours, and from that moment till today it seems as though we’ve been in this relationship ‘since forever’.
In less than 24 hours after the call we had our first dinner date at The House Café in Lekki. On Monday, he came to my office during my coffee break; I thought it wasn’t real; I thought I was watching a Netflix movie. He did this on Wednesday also, and yesterday we went to Genesis Cinema at Lekki where we watched a Block Buster Movie, BULLET TRAIN.
This has been one of the best weeks in my life, and I don’t wish this will stop. I am prepared to go through any length to ensure that this bond will be strengthened for life.
Being enclosed in his arms right now I can feel his gentleness, kindness, care and the enormous love he has for me.
