Love story
I met my Olusoji on the 8th of October 2010 through a mutual friend. OurĀ mutual friend had spoken so highly of Soji and I was really losingĀ interest (in my head...what about him naa).
It was blackberry era then,Ā he added me and was always trying to chat me up, I would reply him daysĀ after (girly ways). He tried severally for about a month, I wasnāt forthcoming and he stopped. At this point, I was ready to start giving himĀ attention, but he started seeing someone else and we became very closeĀ friends for about two years.
In the two years, we were really coolĀ buddies... played, cried, laughed, made plans together... We literallyĀ did everything together!!!
I was forced to ask at a time what we wereĀ doing and he responded saying āwe are just friendsā I was so pained likeĀ *Oh mehn* lol but as a proud girl, moving on...I acted normal in myĀ pain.
I was going to move on with my life and I guessed he noticed theĀ withdrawal. So, on the 15th of October 2012, he was very fast to make itĀ official (butterflies in my tommy) lol and YES !!! Our beautifulĀ beginning kicked off.
Itās been 8 amazing years of riding with Olusoji mi, steady making aĀ grown woman blush and I have no iota of doubt that I'm ready to doĀ forever with you....With you by my side babe, the universe is ours.
Our proposal
I woke up on the 4th of May (our birthday) with an open mind as usual,Ā little did I know what God had in store for me. My sisters insisted onĀ taking me out for a dinner which I didnāt want to go because they wereĀ just getting on my nerves but one of them has my mumu button small plusĀ boo called me and insisted I must go with them, that they had spentĀ money reserving a table already.
I was close to asking how much wasĀ spent so I could refund the money but boo just insisted, reluctantly IĀ agreed, they kept telling me to look gorgeous as it was my last birthdayĀ as a single lady, I agreed reluctantly, then my friend came in and IĀ told her I was going for my birthday dinner.
She also insisted onĀ giving me a facebeat. I told her 20mins pls, she said OK. I didnāt know boo was in Lagos already, he was telling me how job had been so hecticĀ over the week, he said he was so tired that he couldn't even go out toĀ celebrate his birthday (in my mind thatās so unlike you baby).
Then I got dressed, calls every 30mins, where are you now? I was gettingĀ attention from everyone, my friend gave me her food when I said I wasĀ hungry (it was strange, sheās not that nice at all) I said I was tiredĀ and couldn't drive again, one of my sisters ordered Uber and PAID (in myĀ mind, can everyday please be my birthday).
Long story short , we gotĀ there, she was rushing me to start eating (Dolapo I paid a lot of moneyĀ here) I got up to go refill my plate and I saw my other sisters, sawĀ boo's friends and then the boo himself, like whatās happening (thisĀ explains why I ran away).
Then I got a ring , that moment is still very fresh in my head and IĀ will forever cherish it. Thank you baby for doing all you did just toĀ make me feel so special.
I love you babe. God gat us.
