WHO SAYS JESUS GIRL CANNOT FALL IN LOVE?
Adriel looked up at the skies, allowing the droplets of water that dripped endlessly to the unsatisfying stomach of the earth, fall into his eyes while he blinked occasionally. As if that wasn't enough, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue for water to fall on.
His hair had found a solace on his face, as he stood out in the rain. I watched him cupped his hands under the rain and after a while, he ran towards me like a baby running to meet his mother.
In as much as I tried to hide my smiles, his calm face, slowly erupting into smiles, made me give way to the smiles that finnally covered my face.
I could see his guardian angel smiling at me. A feeling of satisfaction washed over me, as my heart raced with its own kind of emotions that left me confused.
He was close to me, when his feet dashed a stone which was directly in front of me.
Instantly, he held me tightly, to avoid both of us falling. Gladly, I didn't fall on the ground, but sadly I regretted not falling. Well, reasons best known to me.
Adriel wasn't letting go, he stared directly into my eyes without blinking for almost a minute.
The emotions were mutual. My heart had changed its rythmic beat, and was just beating on another rythym. He smelt really nice and I could sense my hormones dealing badly with me.
The fact that he kept staring at me closely made my heart continue leaping. Well, when I am done from here, it would explain.
He came closer to me, there was no other space for me to move backwards. Then he stopped coming close, but worse still,he was staring continously at my lips.
“God, please help us not to do this. I may badly need him, but not now” I prayed silently.
I just wasn't sure if I would pass this temptation that was staring at me.
He moved closed to my lips, after making serious contemplations in his heart. I could tell from his facial expressions.
“Just a kiss lord, forgive me” I prayed, after assuming he might do it, and I didn't want to turn him down, even though I clearly knew the consequences. We were just engaged, not married yet.
I closed my eyes breathing in so much air and waited patiently for that lips I had dreamt so much of, to savage mine, but nothing happened.
I opened my eyes and found him staring at me. Then he busted into laughing.
“What happened?” I asked myself, completely confused at the turn of event.
“Were you expecting something?” He asked, after simmering down.
“I… I don't know” I stammered, completely feeling a bit embarrassed. I pressed my lips together, keeping my head low.
“ Hey look at me” he gestured, using his right hand to raise my chin up. My eyes came to behold his and he smiled; the same smile that made me loose my guard. He just had his way of making my heart melt. He used his left hand to hold one of my hands, while still staring at me.
“What does this brother want exactly?” I asked myself.
“I'm looking at you now. You've spent the whole day staring at me.” I said, breaking the silence between us.
“Zuriel… you are beautiful. God's first masterpiece, that's who you really are” He said, smiled again and tightened his grip on my hand, before leaving me to face the rain.
“Let's go catch the train, so we wouldn't be for our movie . You surely don't want me to miss it, and I don't want you to miss it too.” He said, as he walked to the mat we had earlier sprayed on the ground. He packed up the items on it, while humming to a Christmas hymn I had learnt while in secondary school. “Born is the light of the world”
“Wait! Did this guy just put me in a tight cirner, just to prank me? Or was I too fast with my feelings?” I asked myself, as I watched him pack up, refusing to move.
“Stop thinking about wht happened. When the time is right, he would permit us. Come join me” Adriel said, as if he was reading my thoughts. He always guessed them right, whenever I was thinking.
“I beg your finest pardon” I said, raising my eye brows, as I folded my hands together. He looked up at me, stood up and walked to me.
“Come on. I love you okay and I won't trade it for anything” He said, pulled off his jacket and helped me wear them, after noticing my calm jerks.
“You must be cold” he said, while helping me wear the jacket.
His closeness made me felt more warm and I couldn't resist hugging him, so I did. He wrapped his arms around me, giving me slight pats on my back.
“You're cold” he whispered.
“You're warm” I whispered back and he chuckled.
“Fire and water” he teased and I let out a little laugh.
“I love you Adriel”
“I love you endlessly, my queen” he said, planted a kiss on my forehead, pulled me away gently and made to return to the mat.
“ I don't wanna go” I said giving him a frown.
“Cookies?” He said and I nodded. He streched out his hands to take mine. As I put forth my hands, he withdrew his and chuckkled.
“Catch me if you can” He said laughing as he ran away
“I'll deal with you. What kind of man are you?” I cried out, laughing yet still pained that he won again.
“You'll miss your movie” he screamed as I followed him as he ran around.
He intentionally made me catch up with him and I wasted no time to hit him playfully with my fist.
“In your next life, ask God for a stronger hand. This one is suffering from malnutrition “ he teased, I gave him frown and finally hit him hard.
“Outch! That was painful” he winced in pain.
“Evidence of good hand feeding” I mocked him and he laughed.
“Okay, your hands are strong” he said, raising his hands up as a sign of surrender, while I left him to pack up the remaining items on the mat. He rolled the mat and gave it to me to hold, while he hung the back pack.
“You're good?” I asked him
“Always good when I'm with you” he replied.
“The hit? Was it really painful?” I asked him as we started walking out of the park.
“You don't want me to say the truth, do you?” He asked
“I wouldn't budge you, if I didn't want to know” I replied.
“It reminded me of when mom beat me when I had gone to play football without doing the work she told me to do” he replied and I laughed.
“Sorry, I was hard on you” I apologized
“Come here” he said stretching his hand to hold mine, I pulled mine into his hands, and he held it tightly as we walked away.
