The You I love

Christmas at the Adeola's residence

My dad always want the family together for Christmas and this Christmas is not an exemption,no excuse.

Driving in to the compound,I met my dad and his younger brother chatting in the garden,I greeted like a good educated Yoruba lady.

Good afternoon Sir, I greeted both of them and we discussed little about work and the country in general and I went in to greet the rest of the family.

I met my mum in the kitchen,I greeted her and the other women in there and asked about my brother before leaving for my room to freshen up for dinner.

Immediately i open the door to my room,I met my cousin which was just a month older than I am.We hugged one another like old times,she spent most of her life growing up with my family after the loss of her parents.

Laying down on my bed,my mind went to him again.

(Two weeks earlier)

Getting lunch at the eatery close to my place of work,I bump into him. I ignored him and went in to place my order while at it he came close to apologize for the earlier and insist on buying me lunch and we both took our orders and have our seat.

we chatted all through our lunch, exchange contacts and bade ourselves goodbye. Since then we've been in touch.

Present

The ringing of my phone brought me out of my thought and on picking up I saw his name display.

Hello handsome,how was your trip he asked.We talked for some minutes and I promise to call him back before bed.
