Jamila Congratulations on your graduation were written boldly on the banner which hung across the room with my pictures from kindergarten till now displayed on it. Mom made sure she selected both the good and bad ones, like the one where I was crying. I can remember vividly what happened that day, it was the celebration of my one year on earth, my mom was dressing me up for the birthday but the cloth she wants me to wear was not the one I wanted. I refused to wear the cloth by running around the house, I thought that by doing that she will eventually allow me to wear the one I wanted but the fast leg of my Mom and the strong hands of my brothers caught me in no time and she forced down the cloth on me which made me to cry out loud and my cunny brother took the picture without my notice . Looking at the picture now I wondered what made me to reject that beautiful pink dress; I smiled at the way I opened my mouth crying loudly. Chaiii, I was really stubborn then I looked around and noticed the giant cake that was placed on a well decorated table. I smiled and walked closer to the cake admiring it. Sylvia baked the cake for me, yes she baked it. Did I tell you that she knows how to bake a cake; apart from her agile and annoying character she is one of those ladies that don't play with anything baking and now she choose my party to show her talent. The cake looks beautiful and delicious to eat, she decorated it with my best colour; pink and designed something that looked like me and placed at the top I giggled looking at my beautiful cake image

. Do you like the cake. Sylvia asked I turned and saw her putting final touches on the table decoration. Like keh, I love it. You are really the best Sylvia. I replied and hugged her. At last you realized that I am the best thing that ever happened to you. Hahahaha, you are really funny. When you said that you will take care of the cake I never knew you were serious to bake a cake of five steps. Anything for you babe. Sylvia replied and broke the hug. Its okay, don't get mushy all of a sudden. Let me help the Dj in choosing the best song for you. She winked at me and left. Promise by Simi immediately filled the room blasting out of the speaker loudly, I know immediately who will choose that kind of music; Sylvia who else. This girl will not kill me, she uses any little opportunity she has to remind me that am still single but I am going to surprise them today with Styxx and talking of Styxx where is he; he promised to be here but he is nowhere to be found. Is he rejecting me now or maybe he is with another girl, the thought of it made my face fell. Penny for your thoughts. Kingzee asked handing a glass of champagne to me I collected the glass and sipped a little, the hot liquid ran through my spines and every inch of my nerves. Nop, am fine. I replied and smiled wryly. You are not, remember I know you Jamila; your face now shows that you are far away from being fine and this party is for you. So spill lets know what to do. I kept quiet sipping the liquid that gives me comfort "Where the hell is Styxx" I thought. Is it a guy? he probed further I almost choked on my drink, why must he hit it directly on the nail. I knew it, it's a guy that is giving my little sister headache. Who is he that vowed to make my dear sister unhappy today of all days. He asked again patting me on the shoulder Its nothing Big Bro am fine. He made to ask again but a voice boomed through the microphone I turned around and noticed that the little party is now turned to a mini big party because all our relations showed up I smiled when I saw Mom dressed to taste with her auto gele that she use to brag about, she has two and said that one is for my wedding day. I walked to her and hugged her. Mom you are always the best I said and pecked her and what of me. Sylvia asked walking over to us now in her well-tailored Ankara cloth Hahahahahahaha and you are my best too but Mom is the best of best. We all laughed and walked to where my families were sitting ************** The party is almost half gone; I received many gifts and words of advice both from my family and friends. They really surprised me that I am happily dumbfounded. Mrs. Ariat and Prof. Peterson graced my party and I am just coming back from seeing them off. Carl and Styxx are nowhere to be found but Sylvia seemed comfortable with it, I decided to let go of it, enjoy my party and call them later My mom was called upon to say something as the mother of the celebrant; she stood there proudly saying everything that we faced together on this earth. At a point she started shedding tears; I walked up to her and gave her a tight hug. Mom I am here, we practically made it. Hale and hearty. she hugged me tightly before Kingzee came and took her away for me to give my vote of thanks I collected the mic from the MC and cleared my throat. Looking around this room I can't believe that all of you gathered here were because of, I am feeling so loved right now. I paused and looked around Thank you everybody for being here tonight, I don't know what I would have done without all of you by my side. My first thanks goes to the most beautiful woman I have ever seen on earth that gave birth to me, Mummy you are the first person that did everything for me in this world, my first love, my first in everything; what would I have done without your moral support, practically none. My brothers, my ever ready soldiers whom I can count on every minute of my life to defend me anywhere; the first guys in my life that loved me the way I am. Marvin my always agile brother, sometimes I envy your wife for taking you away from me. His wife laughed and held his arm strongly as if I am coming already to take him away. Brad my gentle dove and my motivator; thank you for being there for me. Kingzee my personal person; thank you. Mr. and Mrs. castle; thank you. I turned and smiled at Sylvia who practically acted as my chef that night, she worked with the chefs we hired in making sure everything was shared fair and equally and keeping the large chunk of cake that I pleaded to be kept for me. I can never get enough of Sylvia's cake. How can I forget my bestie, my funny, stubborn and sweet friend; thank you for coming into my life. Sylvia mouthed thank you and blew a kiss to me I struggled inside me if to thank Styxx and Carl but my sub consciousness never allowed me. There is no need to acknowledge them, they missed your party. That's true; I agreed with myself and made to conclude my speech when Carl and Styxx walked in looking handsome and breathtaking. OMG, who am I seeing. Everybody noticed my silence and turned towards where my eyes popped out to Styxx smiled charmingly towards me and sat down while Sylvia rushed and hugged Carl Hot tears of joy welled up in my eyes as I murmured And finally thank you Carl and Styxx for always being my secret weapon. Styxx stood up and collected extra microphone for the MC What is he doing. I thought to myself.

. Thanks babe for acknowledging me at last and sorry for coming late, I went to get this beautiful present for you which I want to give to you in front of everybody and please promise never to say No I just nod coming down from the stage and walked closer to him He brought out a very shiny small locket from his pocket, immediately went on his knees and asked the most exceptional question every lady in love dreamed to be asked that I will never dare to say No to. Please marry me and make me the happiest man on earth now, I never knew how to go about it but Sylvia and Carl helped me, Carl helped in choosing this ring for you. Please don't say no. I turned to look at Sylvia but her face remained expressionless, no wonder she was not bothered about their absence I looked at the ring which I know must have cost him fortune to get, my brothers already brought out there phone to capture their little sis happy moments in life. Even Mom surprised me with her own phone, the phone that my brother bought for her but she refused using and now she is using it cus of me, Sylvia gave me you are dead look if you ever reject that proposal. In fact everybody in the room where expecting my positive answer I remembered my talk with Brad last night, he told me never to hold back in anything I want in this life I smiled and shouted a very big YES Styxx happily slid the ring on my mid finger; he stood up and whispered to me. Now I can show you little of my kissing tactics. I giggled looking at the lips that seemed so pink; I was still admiring it when he crashed his lips hungrily on mine. I have wanted to do this for a long time. He said in between the kiss I shut my eyes as I enjoyed one of the best moments of my life, you know that feeling when your crush finally accepts you and kisses you, you feel like you are in planet seven That's where I am now as I enjoy the sweet sensations his tongues gave me, I can still hear the clapping of everybody around and it gave me a sense of fulfillment. I wrapped my hands around him and lounged one into his hair that I always dream of how soft and full it looks and ofcus it is so soft that I can run my hands through them like forever My graduation party now turns to my engagement party THE END ************** YESOOO AND THIS IS WHERE MY INK STOPS WRITING, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS STORY AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED WRITING IT.
