Prince scooted closer to me on the couch. He placed the paper on my thigh and asked, "Are you going to sign it?"

I raised a finger to signal that he waits and I did my best to read the information. I lost interest at the first words and skimmed through.

I'm not a fan of reading contracts, files or letters. It bores me. I don't know why!

When I saw my name, I paused. My full name was boldly written. My first, middle and last name. His names were also written.

"Obinna?" I inquired. "Your middle name?"

"Yes!"

I nodded. "Can you explain to me what you wrote here?"

"We will be dating for two months. I hope that's okay with you?"

"It is!"

"I will also perform my role as your boyfriend in your life. If you need support, both financially or emotionally, I will offer it to you. I will be there for you if you need me. You, on the otherhand, have to help me get rid of Amarachi. I don't know how you plan of doing it but I want her out of my life. If you need a comforting hug, I will offer it to you. I'm your boyfriend after all. If you need someone to talk to, call me. If...".

I cut in, "But I don't have your number!"

"Oh!" he exclaimed and pulled his phone out. "Type yours. Where is your phone?"

I gave my phone to him and he typed his number.

I saved my number in his contact as Awesome Anita. The moment he saw it, his mouth curved to a smile. "Are you really awesome?"

"Yes!"

"Nah! I don't see it. I will save your number as Weird Angel"

I gasped and tried to snatch his phone. He swiftly rose to his feet and tapped on his screen. "Saved!" he said and smirked. "Weird Angel! I like that".

I sprung to my feet and snatched his phone. When I saw his phone was locked and required password, I groaned.

He chortled.

I eyed him and dropped his phone on the couch. I picked mine up and announced as I typed on it, "I shall save Prince's number as...Mr Handsome!"

He cocked a brow. "I expected worst! Thanks for the nice nickname!" he said and winked.

"Actually! I change my mind. I will save your name as Idiot!"

He had an amazed look on his face. "You are joking, right?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" I asked. "Come and see for yourself". I showed him and instead of frowning, he smiled.

"I have no problem with that. In fact, I'm happy that I have met a woman who doesn't pretend to be perfect or modest. You aren't even trying to make me fall in love with you. You even acknowledge my good looks rather than pursue it. I like that," he disclosed with a satisfied smile.

I flipped my imaginary long hair and with an air of confidence, I voiced, "I told you that I am a precious gem!"

He shook his head and sat down.

"Admit it jor!"

"I just see a woman not a precious gem!" he said and smirked when he saw I took offense of his words. "Don't cry, Angel?"

"Do I look like I'm crying?" I snorted.

"Okay! Back to the contract!" he postulated.

A mischievous smirk played on my lips as I asked, "Yeah! About this contract...What if I want a kiss?"

He lifted a brow and mirrored my silly smirk. "Who am I to say no to that?" he chuckled.

I laughed and changed my countenance. With a serious face, I added, "I'm not that kind of woman that kiss randomly. I'm a girl from a good family background. I don't enagage in immoral acts. I hope you will respect that and prevent any act of that of a pervert".

"Not to worry! You have my word. I will be a true gentleman and will never disrespect you. I won't touch you inappropriately," he said in a firm and serious voice.

"I hope you are a man of your words?"

"I am! Ask everyone that knows me, they can testify. My honesty and sincere attitude towards work made me prosperous in the business world. I believe money can be made without any corrupt acts! I also like honest people. Not to be a hypocrite, I ensure to be honest and I keep my promises"

"Alright! I will trust you. Make any mistake," a sinister laughter escaped my lips. "I will crush your balls".

"What?"

"I'm full of surprises, remember?"

He just stared at me with no words to say.

"Also, can you do me a favor?"

"Which is?"

"Well...I've been really busy in my work. I don't have time for my personal life. I don't do anything to cause adrenaline to flow through my body. I like to be adventurous and I wish to have some fun. So...I was hoping you can help me out with that"

"You're right. I also need to work on my life. I'm like a machine. A robot! I'm a real workaholic. I'm always on my laptop or on my phone or maybe just skimming through files. I don't even get proper sleep. God help me. This kind of life is dangerous to my health," he grunted and looked heavenwards.

"Yes! It's definitely not good to your health"

He turned to me with a look that displayed helplessness. "What should we do?"

"I have a list of places I wish to visit. I can also make a lists of fun-filled activities we can do. Maybe we can go about it together"

"Sure!" he responded, slowly stroking his beards. "I like that idea".

I smiled.

"Why are you so full of great ideas?" he said and let out a mirthful laughter.

"You laugh a lot!"

"I don't! But I laugh around you"

"Oh my!" I placed my hand on my chest. "I feel honoured".

"You should! I feel free around you. Laughing comes out so easily"

"You should pay me for that! Nothing in Nigeria is free!" I said in an officious tone.

"Really? Are you a comedian that I should be paying you money?"

"Dude! This is Nigeria na! Pay me!"

"Fine!" he rolled his eyes and dipped his hand in his pocket.

"Wow! I was just joking oo! Is that how you release money? So easily?"

"Of course not!" he chortled. "I know you were joking. I just decided to play along".

"Nice! Dating you will be fun!"

"Then, how about you sign!"

"Okay!"

He passed the paper and pen to me. I placed it on my thigh and gently signed above the ellipsis.

He smiled and I could see the dent on his cheek. "So we have a deal!"

"Yes, darling!" I poked his arm and rose to my feet.

His face lit up at once but he grimaced when his phone rang.

"What's wrong? Is it Amarachi?"

"No! My manager! I got to go. See you soon babe!" he waved and strode to the door. He glanced at me, his eyes gazing at mine for a brief moment and left.

Gosh! I will make sure I don't regret this decision. I will enjoy this relationship to the fullest.
