My Life

Chapter eleven

Ire’s POV

Dotun was calling, I knew this would happen, it was just a matter of time before he called, seeing him in church was a shock though I didn't peg him for a church goer but I guess things change, he looked better, something was different about him now and i think I know what it is, I picked his call and he just said “you are my wife’’ it seem as if am dreaming and it took me a while to recover and I asked him if he was ok, but my mind kept telling me to wake up, who in their right mind does that sort of thing, he said he was ok, so I simply said let’s talk later because I don’t know what else to say to him at the moment, something was different about him, he looked more peaceful and purposeful than he was ten months ago, he seems in control of his emotions now but this outburst was making me think otherwise, I said a simple prayer asking God if my wait period was over and if I can get involved with Dotun and I felt God’s peaceful presence letting me know it’s ok to go ahead.

I took my time to study him once again and after a month of hanging out with him, I finally agreed to date him officially.

The boy I knew is still here, that was my thought while starring at Dotun on our first date night, he wore his casuals, jeans shorts and a polo and I can’t help but admire how handsome he looked, he was presently trying to open a snack for me and I just kept starring at him while thinking within me, he was still a gentle man as far as I can tell for now but I still have to study him further, can't afford marrying the wrong man after waiting all these years, I started asking him series of questions like, what was his purpose, what were his values, what was his dream, his genotype, he just burst into laugh and said easy there mama, let’s take it one at a time, he took his time to answer my questions and even asked if I had more question to which I said that’s all for now, I'll askmore as time goes on, we talked like old friends that we were and gradually we started getting to know each other once again, he took me home and we both sat on the ground at the front of my house, starring at the stars up in the cloud, we stayed for an hour like that, I think he was reluctant to leave and I also didn’t want him to, but it was getting late and he should head back home, so he got up and help me up as well, kissed me goodnight while taking my hands and leading me to my door step, I literally had goose bumps all over my hands thanks to his chivalrous display, whoever said chivalry was no longer a thing haven’t met this guy apparently, I went in after he drove off and went straight to showers and then went to bed dreaming of my life with the man of my dreams.
