_Regretful Mistake With My Ex_

"It was a bright and beautiful day, filled with joy and excitement. Our hearts were overflowing with happiness as we celebrated a major milestone - high school graduation! The sun shone down on us, casting a warm glow over the proceedings as we marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The air was electrified with anticipation and pride as we gathered to embrace this special occasion. Raphael, my course mate, approached me with a smile on his face and glasses of wine in his hands. 'Hi Aria, how are you enjoying this party?' he asked. 'It's our final day in high school; we're going our separate ways to start life and pursue our careers.' I smiled, trying to resist him, but my physical self responded. Raphael handed me a glass of wine, and we cheered to a successful life ahead. As we sipped our wine and chatted about the day's events, Hellen joined us. 'Hi Aria and Raphael, it's time to join the others,' she said. As we left to join our classmates, Raphael held me back and whispered in my ear, 'I've wanted to tell you this for a while, but I felt it wasn't the right time. Thank God for today; the hour has come. Will you be my girl?' I was too nervous to respond, overwhelmed by the sudden confession. Raphael was the epitome of every woman's dream in our class - tall, dark-skinned, with broad shoulders, a captivating smile, and a stature that made everyone desire him. I was excited, smiled at him, and said, 'Let's talk about it when the party is over.' Time seemed to slow down as I eagerly awaited the end of the party. I couldn't take my eyes off Raphael, who looked dashing in his graduation wear, as if it were tailored specifically for him." *"Time seemed like an obstacle, racing ahead, and the party showed no signs of ending. I felt worried, like a new bride promised a heartfelt gift from her husband. It was going to be an exciting moment, and I couldn't concentrate until I got what I was waiting for. As night fell, we couldn't discuss further. Raphael approached me, 'I don't want to keep you late; your safety and happiness are my top priority.' I felt like a princess, dressed up on Christmas Day, waiting for the perfect moment. I couldn't hold my emotions, and I looked into his eyes, 'Thank you, Raphael, for considering my safety and happiness before yours.' 'You're welcome, Aria,' he replied. 'I'll text you, and we can sit down to finalize our decision.' I felt like announcing to everyone what I had gotten. We bid goodbye and parted ways, heading to our respective destinations - home. When I got home, I was so excited, but I found it hard to contain my emotions. I noticed the new changes in myself, but no one knew what I was up to. As I went to bed, I found it hard to fall asleep, Raphael's words and sweet voice, like a quiet stream, kept ringing in my head. A few minutes later, my phone beeped. It was Raphael: 'Hi Aria, hope you got home safe. Sleep tight and sweet dreams. I Love You.' My heart skipped a beat as I read his message, and I couldn't wait to see what the future held for us." "A few days later, Raphael texted me the address of an eatery where he wanted us to discuss our future. I couldn't wait for the morning to come. The next day, I dressed in a long blue dress with a slit that showed off my smooth legs. on entering the eatery, I saw Raphael already seated, looking overwhelmed by my beauty and curves. He stood up to welcome me, saying, 'Hi Aria, you look charming. Your beauty is like fresh palm wine brought down from a tree in the morning.' I was overwhelmed by his praise and the queenly treatment he showed me. 'You look nice too, Raphael,' I replied, unable to take my eyes off him as he stood up to order for us. His dressing caught my attention - a black plain trouser with a blue shirt that matched his stature. As we discussed, the waitress brought us two plates of fried rice with chicken and wine. Raphael smiled and said, 'Aria, let's eat.' We maintained our table manners, admiring and smiling at each other while listening to the warm, cold music from the eatery's DJ. I raised my face, and our eyes met; he smiled and stretched forth his hand to clean the excessive food stuck beside my mouth. I felt happy, like we were a couple. When we finished eating, Raphael said, 'Aria, I called you out to finalize our decision. I want us to build a strong friendship that will lead us to something good. I want us to be more than friends; I want us to end up together as husband and wife.' I smiled, delaying my response to avoid looking too eager. I looked directly into his eyes, and as I opened my mouth to talk, he said, 'Aria, please don't say no.' I smiled and said, 'Raphael, I have accepted your request.' He was excited and happy, and I was equally thrilled. The excitement and joy drew the attention of others, making it seem like an engagement party. The atmosphere and the way people in the eatery looked at us made it even more special and genuine. We were both excited and happy, and we went our separate ways, making our phones the messengers between us. Days turned into weeks, and Raphael requested to see me in person again." Hi Aria I wish to see you, to discuss something important, something that can benefit both of us and our future Said Raphael. hearing something that will benefit us and our future,my heart jump with joy, happiness and fulfilment,in my heart,I can't wait to know why Raphael requested for my presence.
