ELEPHANT

I can’t believe it! I soooo can’t believe it; he said it, he said it, he said those3 magical words have been dying to hear since forever. Okay I know am a drama queen so not forever but 3months, 2weeks and 5days since we’ve been dating. Those 3 words and 8 letters that every girl wants her dream man to say and should I say that Emeka is my dreams come true.

We were introduced at a friend’s party. He was actually the best friend of my best friend’s boyfriend could the world get any better??? Best friends dating (a perfect duo couple) it was indeed a match made in heaven. Okay so how we met, my friend Chioma was having a get together to celebrate her promotion at work but it was more like an excuse to introduce her new BF to all her friends and his but I must add it was also to declare that they were serious. Just like Chioma to do that sort of thing.

So we decided to play a game to lighten the mood and make us all interact in a more relaxed atmosphere and Taboo won because duh! It was mine and Chioma’s favorite and we dominate but Fred caught on i.e. Chioma’s BF and split us when it was time to choose teams using the excuse that we know the game and should teach others. So for those of you who don’t know taboo is like charade but instead of actions to describe the word you use other synonyms apart from those on the card.

That was how I ended up in the same team as Emeka. We were both very competitive and funny enough were in tune to one another and we practically got the right words out of the others mouth. Especially the funny episode when he had to guess the word danger mouse from me and I couldn’t say cartoon or animal so I rambled a bunch of nonsense and I don’t know how he totally guessed the word correctly. I believe it was there I fell in love and from there we almost laughed our heads off, got talking and well we now here.

 Well HERE is: La mango a restaurant at Ikeja GRA area where we are having dinner and he asks me; Tolu, guess what? and he mouths I LOVE YOU and there I was spinning out of my mind. But hey what girl confesses first no matter how excited I am with my fingers itching to start pinging, I have to control myself so I ask again “ sorry I didn’t get that?” feigning confusion then he mouths it again making my heart skid and thump with excitement . But like the correct African Yoruba woman I am I ask “Abeg open your mouth and talk jo” and he sighs can’t you guess I said “ELEPHANT”. WHAT????????????????????????????? My heart skids to a stop like a car on a slippery fast lane ELEPHANT?? I also mouth seeing his smiling face at his intelligent discovery.
