Chapter 44
The weeks passed by quickly and right now I can proudly say that it is already one year of being in a love relationship with Tessy.
One year in a relationship filled with bliss, love, forgiveness, compromises and happiness overflow.
Tessy made me happy in a way I never thought existed, having her in my life made me realize just how much I was missing while I was married to Sophie.
Today is a Saturday and as usual she is coming over to the house to stay for the weekend
In the past one year, Tessy has become a successful business woman which makes me so proud of my woman.
On the evening after our outing picnic five months ago, I had discussed with her about quitting her numerous part-time jobs to focus on one personal business of her own.
I had even offered my assistance to singlehandedly open a personal business outfit for her to enable her gain independence as a woman, instead of constantly relying on her part time meager salaries.
At first she was reluctant and sceptical as she was scared that I might in future use that to control or maybe start feeling overly entitled to her
After consistent assurances from me and out of her love for me, she obliged but on a condition.
Her condition was that; she will gradually pay me back the amount of funds and capital that I invest in the business.
Although I found it absurd that my woman wants to repay me for what I intended giving to her freely, but I accepted Tessy’s perspective of independency and not wanting to feel indebted so I gave my consent to her condition.
We talked some more and at the end of the discussion she made a decision on what personal business she would love to venture into.
It was baking she opted for and I gave my whole support to her.
Throughout the speedy process of erecting a vast bakery, I gave her my assistance physically, financially and intellectually.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
To cut the long business story short, my Tessy is currently running the bakery smoothly while also schooling, which is why I said earlier that I am so proud of my woman Tessy.
I am also impressed about her transparency to me, she is a woman of her words because every month for the past one year in her baking business, she ensures that a certain percentage of the proceeds is paid directly to my bank account.
Gradually she has paid 60% of the funds I invested and even though I don’t really need it, I am actually happy to know that I am going to be getting married to a woman who knows what responsibilities and financial independence entails.
Yes you read right, I do want to get married to Tessy who is my happy pills and also my soon-to-be finacee.
I have wanted to propose some months ago but she was seriously caught up with school and opening the bakery shop
I was also busy with so much office work activity.
Tonight I plan proposing to Tessy over dinner but I do know that for now I am only of liberty to refer to her as my soon-to-be fiancee, at least until l get from her a big yes to my proposal!
Gosh! I can already envision my Crystal shouting ! Yes! to me in front of Angie and Chioma, and believe me when I say that I can’t wait for tonight to come so I can make it a reality.
I can’t wait to call Tessy my wife, make sweet love and birth beautiful kids with the hired wife who has stolen my heart.
We’ve already talked and decided on the number of kids we would love to have, Tessy wants two in addition to Angie and Chioma but as a lover of children I initially wanted three children.
I soon saw reasons with her choice and had to compromise, afterall that’s what love is about. That’s how we finally decided to have two children in addition to Angie and Chioma.
Still sitting on my bed, I opened the side drawer and brought out the gold engagement ring I ordered online yesterday.
I stared admiring it for a long while before finally putting it in my trouser’s pocket, continually smiling at my own fantasies.
The doorbell rang bringing me out of my reverie and fantasies.
I think that is Tessy at the door and I do know it’s only a matter of time before she would come into my bedroom to check up on me, that’s how sweet and loving my Crystal is.
I wasn’t far from the truth as some minutes later, my door was opened and Tessy came in closing the door behind her
” Babe I’m here.. how is my lover boy doing today?” Tessy inquired smiling as she catwalked to meet me on the bed and sat down beside me
” I’m okay now that you are here beside me my beautiful Crystal.. so tell me baby, where did you keep my second daughter Chiom? it’s unusual that she didn’t come along with you to my room” I asked with a smiling face as I gave Tessy a peck on the lips
” I suppose she is in Angel’s bedroom.. Ton that your second daughter didn’t even let me unlock the door fully.. when she flew to Angel’s room saying that she wants to first show her sister the new toys I brought for them at the market yesterday” Tessy said now kissing me fully on the lips, we kissed for some seconds before we broke off
” That’s okay Crystal, obviously those two have gotten so close and I’m so happy for our kids… but babe I still don’t understand why you do knock at the door before unlocking it with your spare keys… isn’t it funny when this is equally like your house!” I said looking at her skeptically
” Common Ton it’s just courtesy besides it’s not officially
