Happy That Someone Cares

“Hey, what’s up?” Lanre turned to see Christian. He had a smile on his face buy she was struggling to shove down her heart back to it’s spot from where it was right now in her mouth. She was not expecting someone to bardge in on her, so when Christian spoke, her heart jumped as though she has been caught stealing. She managed to force a smile on her face after a minute of giving looking at him clueless on what to do. He told her he had just arrived and had decided to come find her first. She just looked at him still not knowing what to say or do. Perhaps it was the way he came in unannounced.

“Come see what I got”. Christian said to Lanre taking her hand looking excited. Lanre wondered what he was all about. He took her with him downstairs. Lanre was thinking they would end there but he took her outside as well and there they were standing in front of his car.

“Oh! My bad! My bad! Please close your eyes first before I will open the booth”. Christian said to her. Lanre shook her head indicating she was not closing her eyes. She told him she was not a fan of surprises.

“That is what you will say, at the end you will get surprised and be full of joy. Close your eyes jhoor!” Christian said to her. Lanre frowned. She told him she did not want the surprise anymore if he can’t open the booth without her closing her eyes. She turned to leave but Christian stopped her.

“Where are you going to beautiful lady? Stay here jhare. I will open it”. He said. He opened the booth and brought out what was inside for her to see. It was a baby trolley. Lanre didn’t even realise when she started laughing. Seeing a Christian holding a baby trolley made her laugh so much. The sight looked funny to her. Christian asked her why she was laughing that hard.

“Chris, what are you holding?” She asked amidst laughter. He told her it was a baby trolley, stating the obvious to her.

“I know, but where did you get it from? I mean I doubt I’m more than three months pregnant. Why the trolley now? Are you that eager to see my baby?” Lanre asked. Christian frowned.

“I normally don’t like babies that much because they cry a lot. But I just imagine yours will be cute cos she will have your face. I saw a trolley and thought of her so I got it for her. It’snkt for you, you don’t need to appreciate it”. Christian said to Lanre. She still laughed. Without giving him a warning, Lanre hugged Christian and kissed him on his cheek.

“I’m actually happy that someone cares for me and my baby even though it has not been born”. She said. And then for let’s go of him. Then she gave him a questioning look.

“Who told you it’s a girl? I’m yet to go for scan”. Lanre said.
