Anything goes

a romantic flash

I was starting to hate myself, why there should be so much conflict under my simplicity i don't understand. I knew i'll need to make more sacrifice for her, she needed more connection, more presence, more romance, and more others. However i was naturally not the more type, i'm the type that gives the averages in special ways. This morning wasn't different, i just recieved a text claiming she is disappointed at my forgetting her cousin's birthday. It was a ridiculous text to me but i had just take the blame. Atleast its what she'll be pleased with. Her cousin however was someone i really shouldn't have missed her birthday, not because she is my girlfriend's cousin but because i met my girlfriend through her. I reminisce about that sweet day, it was wonderful, i had visited aminat at her hostel in school like i sometimes did. Luckily for me, it was the same day her cousin paid her a visit. She wore velvety pink gown, it was tapered fancifully to flowery rumps at the top, she topped it with a pink leather shoe and quite ornates jewelries. She poised on her bed with one exquisite ebony graciousness, i loved what i saw, but little did i know i'ld be charmed more. She, like she was already waiting for me, got attracted to me. She opened up to me with a rare jauntiness that opened up my heart towards her. She was ravishing and have a plausible manner, not exempting her delicate astuteness. I noticed after that day i never got over her and i had to talk to aminat to honour me with her number. The rest was history.

I found myself guilty of missing such important date, i and aminat are still good friends and i'll need to call her, apologize and promise to hand her my late gift anyway.

I picked up my phone, replied my nagging girlfriend and afterwards put a call through to aminat.

Girls are delicate and childish, a conclusion i made from the almost splitted wiriness that holds their emotions, they could break up any moment and be glowery, testy, or sometimes be strangely exultant; which is what happened that evening.

After i made that call i found the comfort of my bath tub and invigorated myself in a bath. I dressed myself and got set for an antique shop. Aminat is classed enough not to be beguiled with petties, mind you, i have no sceptical mind about the gift. To me its just to make up for missing a great friend birthday. I checked my phone, hoping i'll get a reply from mariam, i was a bit disappointed, my girl replies texts on time. As i pressured my door knob to make my exit i was startled by a knock.

'Yes! Who is it?' i noticed the rattle in my voice. I was not fully over the knock's shock.

'open this door before....' there were giggles.

I recognised aminat voice and mariam's laughter.

' wow!' My now normal voice said as i opened the door for the duo. With what they held in hand someone must be celebrating a birthday.

After all yesterday was not aminat's birthday, its today and the little get together arranged was to be in my apartment.

I felt like a fool amidst the two's dry suprise, but that feeling was good, i love their teenage frenzy, their spark and zeal. I excused them for a while, while i get the present they prepare for the guest. I returned to a wonderful get together. It was wonderful, wish you were there. I handed aminat, her present. I knew she wouldn't appreciate it yet, not untill she opened it. She asked me, i told her nothing. The next morning, her thank you message was exactly what woke me. She liked it obviously.
