The Chronicles of Our Lives

Oh my! It has been 11 days of absence from here! School, work and church has kept me mad busy! I have a prose due this wednesday and was hoping to use some old write-ups from my old journals but they in 9ja wif old dude!

Had to get creative, all done now though....will post up on here after its graded.

So now back to the chronicles......

Our first christmas holiday..... I sure did not know how that was going to be but I was able to convince my folks to let me go spend it in Yaba with my uncle. We spoke every day and night till the wee hours of the morning.

We made plans to hang out a few days after I got to Yaba. It was a saturday and Uncle Owolabi was home, while I was getting ready, Uncle Blow like we called him was talking with Segun and I was freaking out getting dressed real fast cause I didn't want my uncle putting him on the spot and embarrassing the daylights out of him.

I did not put a lot of thought to my clothes that day but I rememeber having on a blue-green turtle neck jumper shirt and a really short brown skirt. We say our good-byes and headed out. I asked where we were going, he said, "oh well, we'll just cruise town, grab a bite here and there and probably his house so I know where he lives." To that last part I said, "hmmmmm, are we that serious that I get to know your house? Hope your folks are not home as I don't think I am ready to meet them yet." He said that only his brother will be home so no big deal. We laughed and chatted.

We just drove around Lagos and when we got hungry, stopped over at Mr. Biggs for food. We then headed to his place in Isolo. On getting to his street, I realised I had family friends that lived on his street that he knew. Small world you can say. He parked in front of his house and I can see a woman sitting in front of a shop connected to their fence and he says that is his mom!!!

Gosh! Not today! Not now! Not how I was dressed! Short skirt and jumper! He smiled at me and said it was fine that his mom was cool. I could not for the life of me open the passenger door as I was freaking out. So he comes around my side to open the door and got me out. All the while I could see her smiling and beckoning to come her way. He held my my hand as we headed to her. My one hand trying to pull my skirt down and the other in a death grip in his hand!

Introductions were done and the first thing she says is, "finally I meet you! So you are Mobola? Segun does not let us rest in this house, all he talks about is you. I can see why now cause you seem like a pleasant girl!" Speechless and shy all I could muster was thank you Ma! She made me feel at home, chatting with us and poking fun at how good we looked together. Segun then tells her we were going in the house, she says sure that his dad and siblings were in too...... God! Why me!

Walking into the house, I see his older sister who is my name sake looking really sad. She is a friend of mine from church, GWC in Sabo and I knew her boyfriend and friends too...my world was really getting smaller! Apparently, she had just had a talk with their dad about wanting to get married and he told her she and her boo will get his blessing only after he got a sustainable job! Segun's room is off the living room downstairs as was his brothers who was actually not home! He showed my around the house, upstairs was his parents and sisters rooms. As we headed back downstairs, his dad comes out of the room! Introductions and greetings were done, talk about a majorly embarrassing day. His family was really warm and loving though and everybody made me feel welcomed.

We went to his room to chill, watch movies and just hang out. In the middle of all that, he wanted to make love and I could not wrap my head around that as his folks were home! But, being the freaky duo that we were, we did, all the while laughing and giggling like fools! Crazy as it sounded! First time at my boyfriend's home, we had sex with his family around!

We hung out for a while and when it started getting dark, headed out. We stopped over at Dayo's house which was a couple blocks away. There I met their neighborhood friends, Timi, Magoo and Mega. Nice dudes. We chatted for a while, I felt really comfortable with his boys as we jabbed fun at one another. I guess I was really becoming a part if who he was!

He drops me home with a promise to call soon as he got home which he did. Xmas day came and we hung out all day with his family and friends, we made plans to spend the next day with the Ladele sisters in Surulere as the previous day was Iroti's bufday and that day was Jeje's. She was having a party. He comes to pick me up with his cousin Tope Oke. Meeting more family! This was moving way fast! We had a blast at the party with school mates and friends just having fun. Everybody looking forward to going back to school.

That holiday period was just plain fun! Hanging out with my boo, his family and friends. Pure innocent fun!

Beautiful memories!

Adieu till reality sets in and our challenges as a couple begins.....
