Days rolled into weeks and into Months. Omezuo did his best to play the role of a devoted husband fawning over his wife. Most times when he got home from school especially at the early stage of Nkeoma’ s pregnancy he cooked and cleaned up. He stopped spending extra time in school with his new friends and headed home once he was done.
Sally noticed how happy he was these days and was glad, what they shared together was a great friendship and she encouraged him on how to pamper a woman. Sometimes Omezuo found himself stopping over at the shop to buy Nkeoma her favorite white chocolate. He loved the way she always seemed thrilled whenever he got those and he loved watching her eat them, sometimes she teased him with the chocolates – making sensual sounds and calling him to take it from her mouth which he played along.
He also started taking her out to eat occasionally instead of staying home to eat the usual boring meal. People always turned around to look at them on the streets, they were not only black but a very handsome couple and their love for one another was obvious.
Nkeoma was already Eight months gone after they have spent 10 months in the US. Omezuo course was going to last a year and half and he was more than half way gone. Things were getting easier with his studies and his performance in school was very impressive, it was becoming obvious that he will graduate tops in his class – Omezuo was grateful to God for this.
“Nkem, when is this baby coming out oo” Omezuo asked his wife. The wait was getting excruciating.
“Everything is in place now. We have bed, clothes everything but where is the baby”
“Relax Omezuo, he will be here soon” Nkeoma laughed at his impatience. She too couldn’t wait to hold her baby in her arms, the child they have born out of deep love. She wanted him to look like his father, handsome and charming. She wanted him to act like his father. God fearing and caring.
Nkeoma could not believe how lucky she was. Omezuo had kept to his promise of pampering her. They had been taking their bath together in the evenings and he delighted in sponging her thorough and giving her body massage whenever she complained of pains. When her legs started swelling up, he took it upon himself to always push them up on a table and massage her thoroughly. She felt so loved and vowed to love him back in all ways.
“The baby will soon be here and start disturbing us”
“Disturb us no way, more people to love”
“You won’t be chasing after his mother all over the house again” she teased him
“Who says so. I will lock him out, he can’t stop me from being with my wife”
“Don’t tell me you re getting jealous already”.
“Now you are saying this I command you to come over here and sit on my laps. I command you to come and give me a kiss, before your son starts stealing you from me”.
“Yes my Lord”. “As it pleases you my Lord” Nkeoma giggled and went to sit on Omezuo laps where he smoldered her with kisses. This has become like a routine conversation for them, they were genuinely tensed with expectation but made light of it with jokes. The size of Nkeoma’ s stomach did not reduce the intensity of their lovemaking; they have found other ways to explore with each other and find fulfillment.
Truly when you love someone you want them to be the happiest person on earth, you express it by tenderness and care being mindful not to hurt their feelings. Nkeoma always marveled at how desirable her husband found her and how she matched his desires with hers, she could never imagine a life without him. They expressed their love for each other always by being selfless during love making, this was something magical God has designed to keep a husband and wife loyal to each other, because this is someone that satisfies your s****l desires without holding back. He always made her fulfilled and happy to be a woman.
The young couple waited for their baby to come, it was only going to be a few days…..
