I'm Getting Married - Episode 19
He sent in the venue and time through text message, it was a new eatery on the island that I've always wanted to try out, it was exclusively for couples.
I cancelled the appointment I had with my make up artist just to meet with Francis. It was weird because of all people, I didn't see myself actually giving Francis any benefit of doubt.
I read the message again, how he ended it with "xoxo" made me smile foolishly.
It's just lunch, I kept telling myself.
I started preparing quite early for a lunch date, my girls were angry with me, I could tell. They spoke little to me and kept giving me attitude and stink eyes all morning.
I ignored them to the best of my abilities and set about my preparation. I dressed to impress and ordered an Uber.
Nonso called to let me know he was still proceeding with the plan to meet with the invitation card designer and I told him I cancelled the make up because I wasn't feeling too well, he told me to rest and reschedule.
My Uber arrived around 1:47PM, not long after I ordered a ride, and I was soon on my way to my biggest mistake.
Lunch time was 2:00pm in the text he sent, but I got there some minutes after quarter past two and met him waiting.
The eatery was cozy, warm and smelt like freshly baked cake mixed with vodka. It was welcoming.
The chairs were not the dining type, they were the the parlour kind and were really giving little options for two people who were not a couple to sit comfortable with a reasonable amount of space between them.
I see why he chose this place now. I walked up slowly to him, he was smiling, more like smirking, "Hey there beautiful", he said as he stood up and held my hand till I sat down on the sofa. He sat beside me and there was no space between us, the sofa was just too small and I didn't feel comfortable with it at first, until he said, "Relax Ana, I won't bite you, it's just lunch", then he picked up the menu, I followed suit and picked up the menu too.
The available meals were quite exotic, it was light, the nice classy lunch kind.
Francis and I relived a lot of mutual memories, and laughed most of the time, I had missed him, you know how they say you can never really stop loving someone, you can only love someone else more? That was what happened with me, I just realized I never really stopped loving Francis, I just loved Nonso more.
"So your big wedding huh?" He said, I could tell he was sad.
"Yeaah, my big wedding, it's almost here, preparations are already in motion and it's going to be perfect" I said quite happily, a little too happy though.
I paused and looked for the first time into his eyes, he was wearing a white t-shirt with the inscription "Pride wins" on it, the shirt looked good on him, white was his colour, the colour reflected on his face, it made it brighter. Money looked good on him.
He noticed I was checking him out and gosh his lips were inviting, he took a sip of water from the cup in front of him and returned his face to where it was, only a little closer to mine. He gently touched my face, brushed my hair to the side to enable my face show well.
He leaned in, closer and closer and our noses were touching.
My breath was warm, my heart beat increased, I was scared but I couldn't stop.
Then it happened, our lips locked, slowly then the passion increased and so did the pace, it felt lustful though.
And just in the middle of the kiss, "Diana?", A familiar voice called out.
I pushed Francis back, swiftly and looked to see Nonso standing in front of us. I was shocked, but not as shocked as he apparently was.
