Chapter 5

TARA'S POV

"Sexy Omotara," Eric said but I didn't replied him, I only smiled.

"My one and only beautiful Omotara," He said again

Seriously this guy flirting is not from this planet...

"Handsome Mr Olaosebikan, how is it doing you this night?" I finally said

"It is doing me gbisgbis," He said with a wink

"Mr Gbisgbis, where are we going?" I asked

"Relax, you will soon know." He said smiling

We arrived there an hour later. Wow, it is Elegushi beach. He had arranged the place so perfectly.

With the candles that light the table, variety of foods and drinks coupled with rose flowers on the table made it so romantic like those romantic cliché movies. He really went extra miles to make me happy.

"Wow, Eric this is so lovely and sweet," I said smiling

"Am glad you love it," He said

"Yeah, I really loved it," I replied him smiling

"Let's settle down to eat before it gets cold." He said with a wink

Immediately we finished eating, he asked me to look at something behind me. I did as he said but the scene I saw really marveled me.

It was very beautiful, sweet and romantic and am very sure the memories would linger in my heart for so long.

I was so happy and I looked back at him only to meet him kneeling with one leg and holding a ring. Then the instrumentalist were playing "I Need You by Marc Anthony"

ERIC'S POV

"Tara, there is this thing I have been meaning to tell you but am scared to because am unsure of what your reaction will be, what your reply will be and the effect it might have on our friendship.

It all started from the BCH class but as day goes all my imagination, what I picture of you happens to be the exact.

And I have come to learn that you are not those type of girls that flung themselves at me because of my father's wealth.

What am trying to say in essence is that, there is a way I feel about you, I should have spill it out but I lack the courage to do so and right now it's consuming me because it's overwhelming and seems totally beyond me.

I have try defining the feeling in different ways and I have no better way of saying it than I love you. WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND Omotara Evelyn Banks." I said finally as I await her response.

"Yes.... Yes baby, I will be your Girlfriend, Olaitan Eric Olaosebikan." She said amidst sobs.

She said YES to me finally. I was so happy and excited.

"Thank you so much for giving me a chance in your life and I promise not to break your heart," I said after sliding the ring in her finger.

"OK love, I count on your words." She said

I stood up and kissed her slowly. Kisses full of passion, lust, love, anything you could name it but was cut short when she broke the kiss.

"Why did you break the kiss?" I asked her but she smiled shyly

"It is you that know, I know I will get to kiss those lips more often," I said with a wink

"For your dreams abi," She said with a naughty smile

"That is my naughty baby... Come to daddy," I said smiling

By now, we were already sitted at the bank of the beach

"See this one o... Who is the daddy," She said

"Me right," I tickled her until she asked me to stop

"I love you Eve," I said cupping her cheek

"Eve... I like the sound of it... I love you too Erry." She said with a smile
