Must Read: My Husband

On the D-day,she took her time to do a nice makeup,she wore a
blue tank top and a white pant that was fitted to flatter her
curves,a white flat shoe,a stud earring,she combed her jet black
long hair and held it with a pin,she was not one for necklace,so
she bother about it.She looked graciously beautiful.



He had asked to meet her at a popular but expensive
restaurant,she was ten minutes late,because she didn’t get a
bike on time,On getting to the restaurant,she entered and did a
five seconds search for her date,yes! She found him sitting at a
corner,she had only been to this beautiful restaurant once,they
did serve great and tasty meals.
As she walked cautiously to his table,she knew all eyes would
be on her,she was used to that already,heads turned towards
her,she passed by a couple,the man just kept staring at the
beautiful figure that passed by him,thanks heaven,she was
wearing a flat shoe,if not,the way different set of eyes were
tearing off her blouse,she could have fallen.
By the time she got to his table,he was on his feet,he pulled out a
chair for her,she thanked him and sat,she placed her hand on the
table,and carefully withdrew it to her lap,she didn’t even know
where to keep them,she looked at her partner who was relaxed in
his chair.
”Good afternoon beautiful one”he said cheerfully,beckoning to a
waiter with his left hand,the waiter walked towards their table.
”Good afternoon…..sir….Mr Jacob …Smiths” she spoke shyly
Instantly there was a frown on his face.
”Please do me the favour of cutting off the sir and Mr,i prefer you
call me Jacob” Jane nodded her head.
The waiter was now at their table,they ordered for Fried rice
garnished with salad and chicken,and a bottle of wine.The waiter
left.



Someone looking from afar would think,they planned to be on
white,well,it was just coincidental,
Jacob wore a white suit,brown shoes and a shade,he wasn’t
wearing a tie,he looked young,matured and devilishly
handsome,chocolate in complexion,if there was anything like that
anyway,he looked clean,fresh and he smelled money,his watch
lay firmly on his wrist,he had broad shoulders and a wide
chest,he was tall and had flesh on his body.he was always
smiling.



Her mum had advised her to be careful with handsome and
smiling men,he looked calm and there was something like
excitement in his eyes,she couldn’t say for sure,or maybe it was
just a figment of her imagination,The waiter returned with their
food and wine,he placed it carefully on the table and left.
Jacob shifted in his chair and spoke calmly,
”Once again,i am Jacob Smiths”he uncovered their food and
poured wine into their glasses.”I’ll like to know you better….he
paused….i mean know you betterrrrr”stressing the better.He
picked his fork and began to eat,he enjoys eating rice,fried rice in
particular.


Jane spoke quietly but boldly,still holding her fork,she asked,
”What exactly do you want to know about me” like a typical
Nigerian lady would ask.
”Everything there is to know” He smiled and drank from his
glass.
”Fine,Janet Odenuga is my name,my friends call me Jane,am
born into a family of four,i am the first daughter,my mum is a
Fashion designer and my dad is a lawyer,i study at The
Polytechnic Ibadan,am doing my Higher National Diploma II,am
study Public Administration”she continued with her food.



”Thats a good one,public
administration,hmmm,government,politics,organization,rights?
Jane nodded her head.
”Well,i work for The Smiths Corporation,born into a family of
four,my parents,my elder sis, and i”
He went on and on,they ate and drank,they discussed various
issues.Jacob received a call and asked to be excused,after
extracting a promise from Janet to go out again soon,he thanked
her for coming and that he did enjoy her company.
Janet was so happy,Jacob seemed a good man,and spoke like
one too,he had this soft look in his eyes,she knew right from the
start that she was attracted to him,she only hoped he was a
gentle man to the end.


They went out often and often,and soon he asked her to a
relationship with him,she agreed and that was it,their love story
began,rocking a ship on the shores of peaceful water.Janet liked
Jacob,hmmmm,she didn’t see it coming,she knew not what was
in store for her.
