Chapter Twenty one
He dropped me the next day after Christmas right in front of my parents house he had come down first to open the door for me and I stepped down beaming with smiles. Taking my hands we both went to knock on the door and mum came to answer she was pleased to see Toby he greeted politely and she left to continue what she was doing.
Finally when he was about to leave i gently kissed him goodbye on his cheek and his smiled cutely while I waved until his car was out of the view.
When I was finally in my bedroom I laid on my bed to bring back the memories of the previous night with Toby into my head cuz this very Christmas is actually a memory that couldn't be erased till date.
**************** Flashback
Holding my chin he brought his lips close about to place his on but I turned my face trying to be back in my senses.
"We shouldn't be doing this Tobi u re engaged,"I said embarrassed.
"Am not okay I hate that very word of it, Miriam listen to me,"he said grabbing my hands gently we were both now sitting on the bed.
" I'm not engaged to Rihanna and I won't ever be, the only person I've ever felt something for and then I will love to be engaged to his you Miriam just you," he said and I raised my eyeball in surprise.
"What but...........,"I tried to say something but he placed a finger on my lips.
"I'm not engaged to Rihanna although my parents want me to be but I don't love her and I'm not even interested in getting engaged to someone in the name of family business I know I'm not the perfect guy and I've never been in a relationship, I don't even know what it entails and my heart had stop working for a very long time but I want you to trust me cuz the moment I met you everything about me changed things I could not believe I could do as become an hubby which you are part of , You haven't been in the perfect relationship or even have a good love life but then Miriam I can't promise you that I would be perfect but I want you to know that I'm ready to try all my best to be that guy that would make you feel and understand what the word "LOVE" really means and that if you would give me a chance to prove myself," he said ending speech my mouth agape.
I didn't know what to say and then he said again "Miriam I love you sincerely with all my heart l..........," He wanted to continue when I stopped his words with a first kiss and then a second he came closer and then I took his hands placing it around my waist and the third kissing was deep my tongue teasing his he wasn't good at it cuz it was obvious he was just learning but as a smart guy he was actually learning fast and reciprocating.
After about 15 minutes we both later laid down in each other's arms his hands stroking my hair until we both finally fell asleep.
*************Flashback end
Still laying down I already had my pillow in a tight hug as I was already smiling at the memories I didn't hear the knock until when I glanced over and tolani had walked in .
"Sister Miriam you shouldn't lay on your bed smiling all evening mummy said you should come and eat dinner ,"she said.
"Thank you our sister in the lord I'm coming oo," I replied and she left while I changed my clothes and went to join the family at the table.

Finally the holidays were over and we were all back to Ile -Ife to face our last days at university, the lecturer ended on time and I walked out of the class my books in my hands when Toby also came to walk beside me taking my hands into his as we both proceeded towards the library and then I sighted Michelle as he worked closer.
"Hey babe watup how was your vacation,"he asked.
"Am good Michelle and you,"I replied simply.
"Fine i was actually hoping we could go somewhere and talk for a while,"he said making a face at Tobi.
"Am sorry Michelle but I was heading to the library with Tobi,"I replied calmly.
"But babe am your best friend at least you should consider that,"he said
"Michelle i......,"I wanted to say something but he snatched my hand from that of Tobi.
"She said she is not in the mood to go with you why don't you just let her be,"Tobi said.
"And who are you to decide that for her,"Michelle replied angrily.
"Her boyfriend,her lover,her heartbeat and anything else you could think of,"Tobi said to my amazement.
"What did you just say i think this guy is actually crazy,are you.........,"Michelle was unable to finish his sentence before Tobi spoke again facing me.
"Armour you know what, I think you should go listen to whatever he wants to tell you I can go to the library today all by myself ,"he said calmly facing me.
"Are you sure," I replied .
"Sure Armour I trust you and I will see you later," he said walking away leaving me and Michelle .
When he finally left Michelle found his voice"I think that your friend is totally nuts he needs a repair somewhere in his damn head," he said angrily .
"He is not nuts Michelle totally not ,"I replied.
"So if he is not what does he mean by those words ," he asked.
"That's the truth Michell ,the plain truth believe it or not ,"I said calmly .
"Miriam this isn't really clear but he is your friend right and I'm here waiting for you to get over your heartbreaks," he said holding my shoulders .
Things just happened that way Mitchell I'm sorry if it hurts," I said apologetic.
" Damm stop it , just stop it please! you are so unbelievable," he said walking away angrily.

I was busy cooking dinner when my cell phone rang it was David calling staring at the screen at first and then I picked up reluctantly .
"Hey love what's good," he asked.
"I'm very well thank you and you," I said.
"Fine dear hope your day was good, anyway I wanted to know if you are free this weekend we gat somewhere to go together ,"he said.
" I'm not sure about that David but I would get back to you if I will be," I replied .
"Ok love bye, I love you ,"he said to my irritation.
"Bye David," I replied simply hanging up.
I knew I still had two people to deal with and clear off if I wanted a perfect relationship with Toby and I knew I needed to take his permission to go out with David that weekend no matter where it was but then I decided to tell him the next day since we were going on a date together.
