' Dude is she there yet' Bruno chatted, I'm waiting for May outside ' na, don't you have other things to do' I replied back ' na Antonio is boring ' he said ' well.... '
" Hey" I heard, I looked up, Holy molly cow , I think I just met an angel, I think I stared to long cause I heard her say hi again
" Oh , May, God you look heavenly"
" ya, thank you" she said, she looked down, guess compliments are her weakness, well my compliments
" shall we"
" ya" almost immediately she went to the other side opened the car and got in , sigh I wanted to open the door for her
" you got in" I said
" arh ya, was I supposed to stay outside"
" oh no not that, I wanted to open the door for you "
" why, I have two perfect working hands" she said looking confused, cute
" well usually the guy is supposed to open the door for the lady" I explained
" oh , sorry, I've never done this before so I don't really know"
" no problem, we'll try some other time "
" okay, so where are we going "
" you'll see" it was a comfortable silence after that
....
We pulled up at the restaurant
" wait is that Nigerian i saw on the sign board" she said laughing
" ya, do you like it"
" are you serious right now, I'm loving this already" she said
" let's go in"

Ahhh my insides are screaming, can't believe he brought me to a Nigerian restaurant, like ahh, immediately we entered the smell of spices hitted me
" who's that on that portrait" he asked
" oh that's our president, we call him BAT" I said, he started to laugh
" BAT, why" he said still laughing
" oh, it's funny ya, but that's the abbreviation of his name" I said laughing too " let's get a table"
" Good evening sir and ma" the waiter greeted
" ya how far" I said, what it's been long and he's he's Nigerian, Igbo to be precise, his tag says so. Almost immediately the he smiled at me
" fyn oh, wats up na, wetin una won order" he replied
" guy ah no know yet sha, just give us menu, you fit return in like 5 minutes"
" oya na " he said then dropped the menu and left
" okay what just happened" Leo said, looking amused " what language was that" he asked, which made me laugh
" gosh I'm so sorry, it's pidgin, it's been long since I spoke in pidgin" I said still laughing
" really, felt like latin, you voice and accent changed in a split second"
" ya, anyways let's order, what do you want" I asked
" well since you're the expert here I'll let you order"
" really, then no need for the menu then" I raised my hand up " it was a different waiter this time, more English" well have the Akpu and Bitter leaf soup, the jellof rice and fish, when we're done with that you'll bring Garri with sugar, milk and groundnut, with Akara and pap, with puff puff "
" right, okay " he said before leaving
" wow, lots of foreign names" Leonardo said
" trust me you'll love all of them"
.........
" that was awesome" we were done with the dinner, ya it was awesome
" ya it was, you should have let me paid, I kinda ordered a lot" I said he started to laugh
" obviously not, it wasn't that much to be frank and we got takeouts too"
" oh, also this isn't the way back home to our dorms"
" ya, just one more place " he said
" okay"
We arrived at a clearing in a forest, there's a lake with lilies floating on the water
" it's beautiful "
" ya, I like to come here whenever things are too hard for me to comprehend "
" your favorite place "
" Yap, also my mom was buried here "
" huh, how why"
" well she wasn't rich and all that so ya" seems like he doesn't wanna talk about it, I won't stress it
" you can tell me when you're ready " I said
" you know you're special, right, he said"
" I believe that everyone is special, in their own way"
" ya, they're "
" it's getting dark" almost immediately as I said that I heard me and Leo phone vibrate at the same time " wow, it's from Ash, she said a storm is approaching, so we should go back immediately "
" we won't make it" Leo said
" why"
" we are outside the city, we might get caught up in the storm, which would be pretty bad"
" so what do we do now " I asked
" follow me "
...
" where are we heading to" I asked after five minutes, it has begun to rain heavily
" we're here " he pulled up into the house and parked " let's go in "
I used the coat he gave me earlier and covered my hair, well Ash did predict right, we went inside and he turned on the lights " wow, it's beautiful oh and warm" I said
" ya, it is "
" so where are we"
" well this was where my mom lived, I kinda grow up here before she died, so I renovated it and this is it, I didn't want to change much, just to make it stable once more"
" it's beautiful" I said smiling
" is this the part where I kiss you" he asked
" no it isn't" I said, making him laugh, I know he didn't mean it
" okay let me take you to the room, it's just one room by the way" he mentioned
" oh, I'll sleep on the floor " I said
" no you won't" I'll stay on the couch and you can take the bed
" no, heads or tails" I asked him
" you're stubborn, heads" he said,
" okay, if it heads then you sleep on the bed if it's tails then you sleep on the couch" I told him
" it ain't done that way" he said smirking
" well this is my way" I took a coin and then flipped it, damn it landed at tails " sigh, well the coin has spoken"
....
Someone was casing me, who is it, why can't I stop running, I wanna fight, I looked down and I found myself at the edge of a cliff, how did I get here, I looked up to see him approaching me slowly, oh no not him not him, please please, stay away
....
Leonardo POV
I woke up to the sound of whimpering, MAY, the sleep in my eye cleared, I stood up and went to her, I tried to wake her up but she won't budge, her body temperature is high, and it's pouring heavily outside,
" shhh, it's okay I'm here" I said softly, hugging her
" Leo" she called out weakly
" it's okay mi amor, I'm here, shhhh"
