(MTB) Meant To Be (A Nigerian Story)

20

     It's been a week since Kore and Ayo got together as a couple but they've not had time to go out or go public.
On this Saturday, Ayo was in the pool when Kore joined her. He decided to sit on one of the lounge and watch her swim while he caught up with his social media accounts. Some minutes later, Ayo got out of the water, having been there for over an hour. She dried her body and put on the short off shoulder gown she had brought with her earlier then she walked up to him and said,

"Hey Handsome!" That got his attention because he looked up and she sat on him, facing him. He smiled and dropped his tablet carefully while he drew her close,

"Hey Beautiful!" He replied and drew her closer still to kiss her. After a short kiss, she pulled back.

"We are outside, Kore."

"In my house. Come on, I've not been able to kiss you very well all week." He said, leaning in and he kissed her again and she responded, this time, throwing her arms around his neck.

"Kore! Man, can you get a  room and not blow up our eyes?" Tosin interrupted them, walking in from the side of the house,

"Can't one have privacy in his own house?" Kore said, holding Ayo down firmly as she attempted to stand up,

"OhMyGod! So, this day will eventually come?" Tade asked as he strolled to the pool area, munching on some chips.

Kore asked, "Is that my chips in your hand?"

"Yes, so, what are you going to do about it? This position is really making sense. AY, Girl, wassup?" Tade asked.

Ayo replied, "I am good and you?"

"I am as right as the rain. So, are you guys going to tell us what exactly is happening here or do you want us to keep guessing?" Tade asked,

Tosin replied, "Man, it's so obvious. They are together."

Ayo affirmed, "Yes, we are together."

"You see, the lady confirms it." Tosin said smiling.

"And on that note, you will have to excuse me. I need to prepare dinner." Ayo said.

"So far it is dinner, my dear, excuse is yours. I can't wait." Tade replied.

"For what is that?" Kore asked,

Tade answered, "I can't wait to eat ni."

"You two are not getting any food from this house, not after you interrupted our moment." Kore said.

"Baba, na you dey cook ni*?" Tosin asked.

"Na my babe dey cook, Oya kill yourself.*" Kore answered,

Ayo responded, "I'm the one cooking. I decide who is eating or not. I might decide none of you are eating, so, don't push me."

"Even me?" Kore asked.

"Yes you. See you later." She said and kissed his lips before sashaying her way out while Kore followed all her movement oblivious to his friends' call.

When he finally heard his name, he turned to them, "What is it?"

Tade said, laughing, "Baba don love die*."

Kore asked, "Wetin concern you?*"

Tade replied, "Seriously, I'm happy for you bro. You deserve this."

"Thanks, so, wassup?" Kore asked and they started talking about other issues until Ayo came to announce that the food is ready.

   "Hey, I can't believe we are actually going on a date." Ayo said as Kore strapped her into his front passenger seat.

"Believe it, coz it's real and it's here." Kore replied before going to the driver's seat.

"Okay. So, where are we going?" Ayo asked,

"It's a surprise." He said as he drove them out of the compound.
