Damilola's POV
The rest of the week was quite the same way. Daniel and I only saw ourselves on the dining at breakfast and dinner and we only said greetings. I actually had no idea on how to get close to him. I wasn't that kind of person that goes closer to people instead it's usually other way around.
It was about two weeks after our wedding; My in-laws had invited us over for dinner and I knew what they were trying to do; probably to see how well we were getting along. They were the brains behind this marriage after all.
The day before, at dinner, Daniel brought it up.
"Tomorrow will be visiting my parents and I know that you're aware of the reason, I just don't want them involved in our personal life. so...."Daniel began but I interrupted him.
"You want me to pretend as if we're....... I get it"I said.
"Okay, thank you"He replied and that was all. The rest of the dinner was as silent as usual then we both went to bed.
Daniel's POV
I waited for Damilola to come down and let us get on our way. Why was she taking so much time?. I knew she had to get some things because my parents wanted us to stay for the night. Finally, after several minutes she came down. She was looking very beautiful and elegant. I couldn't believe I got lost while looking at her; stupid of me.
"Daniel?"She called seeing I was lost.
"Yes, let's go"I answered coming back to reality. We both walked to my car and got in. And soon we were on our way.
The drive was silent except from the music that was playing. I looked over at Damilola, she was on her phone paying less attention to her environment. Just then a call entered, I checked who it was then realized it was Beatrice; why was she calling now?. I picked it up using my ear pod.
"Hello baby"she said.
"Hey, could you call me back I'm on the road right now"I answered.
"Mmm.... just tell me you don't want to talk to me, I guess I'm bothering you instead"she replied.
"Come on, I'm serious, I'll call you later"I said.
"Okay bye then, love you"she replied.
"Yeah same"I answered then she cut the call.
After a long drive, we finally got to my parents huge mansion. We got into the compound, got down and entered through the main entrance. I first sighted my mum; she rushed towards us.
"Omo mi( my child)"she said then said to Damilola, "iyawo mi ( my wife)".
"You're welcome my dear, Daniel go and call your father, he is in his study"she added.
"Ok, be right back"I said then left leaving Damilola with my mum.
Damilola's POV
Daniel left to call his father down stairs; leaving me alone with his mum. His parent's house were quite alike to mine's. His mum looked nice and welcoming; I hated the fact that I had to pretend things were working out between Daniel and but I just had to do it.
"Come and sit, my darling, you look beautiful by the way"Daniel's mum said.
"Thank you very much ma"I answered her.
She led me to the large dining. I sat down and then she sat opposite me. "So how are you doing?"she asked.
"I'm good ma"I replied.
"How's Daniel?"she asked.
"He's lovely"I lied.
She then smiled at me; I sounded so convincing; how nice.
Just then did Mr Adeleke and his son appeared and they sat down on the dining also;Daniel sat beside me. He looked at me then looked away.
The cooks came and served the food. His parents did a silent prayer; mmm I wasn't used to that. After did everyone began to eat.
"How are you doing my dear?" Daniel's dad asked.
"I'm good sir"I answered.
"My good friend?"He asked;he was referring to my dad.
"He's good"I replied.
"How do you find Daniel?"He asked.
"uhhh.... lovely"I said and got a kind of look from Daniel; didn't have a clear meaning of what it meant. I couldn't keep on this lie for no long.
The dinner was splendid; Daniel's parents kept bring up a lot of topics and kept the conversation going. They were actually nice and easy going. It was getting late and it was time for bed;come to think of it; we're going to have to sleep in the same bedroom on the same bed; Mmm........
Daniel's POV
The dinner was over and it was time for bed. My parents had prepared my bedroom for Damilola and I. We had no choice than to sleep in the same bedroom tonight.
My parents had gone to bed and Damilola had left also to the room. I had to make an important call. I went into the balcony to make the call.
"Hey babe"I said as the receiver picked up the call.
"Now you're calling me"Beatrice replied.
"I'm so sorry, don't be annoyed, I was busy"I answered.
"Really?, Spending some quality time with your wife"Beatrice said sarcastically.
"Oh come on, obviously not, wife?, you call that a wife, no way, she's just a figure, let's forget about her"I answered.
Our conversation lasted for about 15 more minutes and then I had to cut it because I was supposed to be in bed with my wife.
