｢｢A R I A ｣｣

Three months had passed already and a lot had happened. I had already graduated from university with flying colors! It felt good, I felt accomplished. Traveling back to Masdin helped me relax, I was surrounded by my friends and family. Although my mother in-law and my sister-in-law were able to come, thankfully Adekunle wasn't able join me so I was able to do whatever I wanted in peace. Surprisingly, my stepmother wasn't on my neck, she was minding her business and so was I. She was all over the place making sure everything was perfect for Joshua's party. Bisola was going to announce that Joshua was going to be King on his next birthday. I felt bad for the poor boy but there was nothing I could do. Even though sometimes it felt like Bisola was trying really hard to make this happen, it was almost as if she was planning something.

The girls and I had little time to catch up and bond, but we were still able to gist well. Apparently I hadn't missed much, everyone was busy working or studying. On the day of my graduation I looked stunning in my dark blue dress that dad special ordered for me. It was an outdoor ceremony, the venue was elegantly decorated, just the way I like it. I got the surprise of my life that day when I was on the stage, from a distance I saw Adekunle stepping out of his personal helicopter. He made a dramatic entrance as he walked up to me bearing red roses and this cute teddy bear. This stupid man even had the audacity to kiss me in front of all those people, he just took all the attention! His mom was smiling proudly at him so I had to resist the urge to knock his head. Unfortunately we had to leave the next morning and so I was a bit sad.

I was four months pregnant and let's just say I'm as fat as a whale, well my bump was now visible so you can imagine the attention when I got out. Thankfully the media has been positive about it. I've been extra grumpy and Adekunle wasn't helping matters, he was always busy and I needed attention!

I was currently in the ball room with the Royal family's event planner, planning my husband's birthday party, which was two days away! I have been so busy for the past few days trying to organize everything for him. Yes, part of me wanted him to be happy and actually enjoy his birthday. He seemed really stressed lately, I've been curious but of course I didn't want to let him know that I was observing him like that!

"Your majesty, what should be the theme for the party?" The planner asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Mmm, gold, black and white?" I replied like I was asking her. I just wasn't sure what this mans favorite color was. So I just mentioned the colors he normally wore.

She nodded and continued asking a thousand more questions before finally she left me to rest. Once I got home, I took a nice shower and put on my comfortable night gown. Agnes was on holiday, she needed a break and I was happy to let her leave. She was very dedicated to her work, so she definitely deserved to spend time with her family.

The house was quite so I guess I was home alone as usual. I then went to serve myself the delicious pizza I ordered on my way home. As I grabbed my plate I heard the door open. And there he was, my handsome husband dressed in a dangerously fitted black suit. He walked in not sparing me a glance and proceeded to his room.

Yay life!

I let out a loud hiss making sure he heard and walked over to the couch to watch Grey's Anatomy. For some reason this series had become so addicting and so I was always glued to my screen.

I was chewing my fourth slice of pizza when Adekunle decided to join me. He casually walked in wearing a plain black t-shirt and some lose pants. His majesty suddenly stood in front of me and sat on the floor. I gave him a questioning look, "um, what are you doing?"

He ignored me and grabbed my sore feet. He carefully put down my left foot and held onto my right foot and to my greatest surprise he started massaging it. My mouth hung open, I couldn't believe he was doing this!

"I- you don't have to..." I said, suddenly I had lost my appetite and I somehow started chewing my bottom lip.

He hissed then chuckled, "abeg, keep quiet and enjoy this while it lasts. I know you've been working hard, planning my birthday party and stuff. So this is just my way of saying thank you."

Did someone do something to this man? He's definitely up to something!

I gave him a tight smile and responded, "oh thank you."

The truth is that Adekunle and I have been more understanding towards each other? Okay, not completely. But our relationship has definitely improved. I guess we both realized that we're stuck with each other.

A few hours later my eyes fluttered opened and I found my self nestled between the warm blankets and with my husband by my side. I looked at the clock and it was around 2am. I don't remember getting here... Did this man carry me- us?! I didn't have the strength to wake him up and ask him so I shut my eyes and let the sleep carry me.
