He took her to a roof-top steak and seafood restaurant where he requested private dining with a cozy atmosphere, soft lightings, and soft music. She ate to her satisfaction and there was so much left because Keith didn’t eat much as he’s a light eater. She unashamedly told him to request for the remaining to be packed for them to take away. Keith gave the order to the attendants and told them to hand the take-away over to him when they are leaving.
The sofas were comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxing so Keith used this opportunity to get to know Kelsey more and he also talked more about himself without holding back information in any way.
After chatting for a long time, Keith said…..
“Kelsey, I know you can’t get to know me fully within a day not even in a year which is the same thing with me but I’m convinced within me on what I want for both of us. The first day I saw you at the restaurant, I felt an unexplainable connection between us and I really liked you when I met you. Kelsey, I’ve told you everything about me already in this short time we’ve spent with each other today”
Kelsey listened with rapt attention and all seriousness
He continues “I’m coming to you as just an ordinary guy who loves you so much already”.
(He swallowed hard)Kelsey, I’m sorry if I’m pushing you too hard, and not waiting till I spend months with you before saying this. Please forgive me in advance.
I ….(he stuttered), “I want you to be my wife”. He dropped the bombshell and looked deeply into her eyes to see any reaction. He paused to see if she was going to say something but continued when he felt like she couldn’t find the words to say
“I want to spend the rest of my life with you and we grow old together…… I don’t have a skeleton in my closet so there’s nothing for you to worry about in the future and I promise to love you completely” (he was searching his head if he had said anything wrong and was even out of more words to say as he’s naturally not a man that talks much)
Kelsey finally broke the silence. “Go ahead; I’m still waiting for you to pop the question”
He let out a deep breath excitedly and moved to her side hoping for the best. He looked straight into her beautiful eyes. “Kelsey, will you marry me?”
She didn’t waste time and grinned from ear to ear then replied with the magic response…” YES, I’ll marry you”
It was as if there were fireworks igniting everywhere, Keith felt so much joy that he had never felt before. He pulled her over and gave her a tight hug, planted a kiss on her forehead, picked her up, and spun around with her.
He put her down and while still hugging her, he excitedly said “thank you sweetie….thank……thank you for accepting to be mine….I promise to love you for the rest of my life”. He was so exhilarated. “I feel like taking you to get our marriage license right away” Both of them burst into a loud hearty cheer and hugged each other tighter.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t propose to you the conventional way….I mean… I should have taken you on several dates before now but don’t worry we’ll have the best of dates together all through our lives.
I should also have brought an expensive diamond ring today to kneel and ask you to marry me….I’m sorry babes, I’m just not that type of guy but I assure you that I’ll love you and our kids with my life. I’ll provide you everything you want God helping me. Even if you want to drink water from a diamond-studded cup, consider it done.
My-Kelsey, I look forward to going on this part of life’s journey with you and I promise to love you truthfully and wholeheartedly. I love you, my queen”. He was so overjoyed and he planted a loving kiss on her rosy cheek.
At this point, Kelsey had tears in her eyes which dropped sweetly down her cheeks. Keith of course wiped her cheeks with the back of his hands and they just hugged tighter. It was such a beautiful emotional time for them.
She rubbed his back lovingly and said “I’m so happy this is happening to us. I pray our love stays true and real forever”.
Keith then narrated…“I fell in love with you the moment I set my eyes on you that day and wondered if you were a human or a beauty goddess. I knew immediately that we were made for each other….. I’m sorry that I used the job offer scheme to get to see you again. Though I was determined to pursue you even if you turned down the job, which was why I got your phone number”
“Bad boy” she whispered to him and she continued “Looking at you as you walked in on that day triggered a repressed memory in me but I couldn’t place it so it just fizzled out. I felt that I knew you from my childhood but I couldn’t recollect because of the memory loss I suffered after the accident I told you about”.
Muah! He planted a kiss on her face, “We’ll overcome the past and build a bright future together my Yummylicious Babe”
He continued…“As we discussed earlier today, I’ll contact the psychologist tomorrow to see how he can help us to get your childhood memory back”
He said while using his palm to trace her shape from her spine downwards and he screamed…D*mn! You’re such a bootylicious babe. He then smacked her backside seductively and of course, Kelsey grabbed him too and she tried to wriggle out of his embrace afterward. Eventually, both of them began a ‘mouth-war’.
Keith bent his head as he’s much taller than her. He tasted her lips delicately and caressed them with his tongue. Thereafter, they slowly progressed by exploring each other’s mouth and had their passionate first-time kiss together. They went on and on saying sweet nothings to each other and had to stop when they were about reaching cloud nine.
“My delish Cutie” he complimented her
“Don’t be shameless” Kelsey rebuked coquettishly
“When do you want us to get our marriage license or do you want us to plan for a big ceremony?” He asked
She dragged him back to the sofa and sat on his lap. “Baby, I’m happy that I’ll be yours” She hugged him holding his head close to her chest and planting a kiss on his cheek. I’ve never been a fan of big weddings as I’m not an event freak. I’d rather we get our marriage license and have our closest families and friends join us for a little celebration.
“Consider it done boss”, he joked
Keith adjusted the way he sat then pushed her to get up as he asked her to turn around for him which she did provocatively.
He puffed “there’s something that must kill a man, I think you are the one that’ll kill me” He joked hilariously then pulled her back to sit on his lap.
This moment of ecstasy was interrupted by a call from Kelsey’s phone.“Ohh.. That’s my dad’s call”. She immediately knew from the ring tone she had saved his number with.They pulled out of each other’s embrace and she got her phone from the table then picked the call instantly and spoke in their native language.Her adoptive father who lives in a country called Amberland (where she grew up) gave her news that he discovered two men that he suspected one to be her biological father but he’s still investigating quietly.He asked if it was possible for her to travel down and was a little concerned about her Monday resumption at the new job she told him she just got.She was confused at the news her father just gave her but promised to book the next flight home.Apparently, Kelsey’s adoptive father Pappy Alan was th
After the call with her dad ended, Kelsey told Keith what they had discussed and he thought deeply. He picked up his phone and called his Assistant; Dave to make arrangements for his jet and crew to be ready for a flight on Monday to Amberland and he needed two top detectives and two bodyguards to go on the trip with him.He also requested to meet with the detectives tomorrow, Saturday at noon in his mansion for a briefing. He instructed that Assistant Matthew comes on the trip with him while Dave stays back to take charge of the business along with the other assistants. Then he ended the call.“Thank you very much Keith” confused Kelsey said as she hugged him and started to cry.Keith felt a sharp pain in his heart as she cried. He pulled her tight to him and patted her hair assuring her “Baby, It’s going to be fine, okay!. Let’s be hopeful about everything and trust God to help us&rd
Kelsey woke up at 5.30 am and felt very refreshed.In order to get ready for the day, she took off her nightie which she had changed into when she got up to ease herself in the middle of the night, then went to the bathroom to take her bath.She wore a beautiful short dress and rolled her hair up in the style she usually does whenever she’s at home. Her normal way of dressing when she stays at home is a t-shirt on bum short but she was going to be in some meetings today so she wore a dress instead.She checked her phone and saw that Keith had reduced the volume for her last night so she increased it and did a video call with her dad which was part of her morning routine. They chatted happily for a while but she didn’t tell him when she’ll be coming but promised to be home soon.After the call, she decided to go downstairs to make some coffee and as she strolled along the walkway, sh
Keith tickled her and continued. “Now as per full-time work, you will be the Group Vice-Chairman and support the business with your expertise as much as you can.I’m also thinking of you setting you up on what you are passionate about which is your art painting. Mum and Aunty Kimmy have the same passion so they’ll be readily available to guide you into building your own brand. You can trust me to blow it up for you to be a world-class brand”“Thanks baby,” she said“Just give me a proper thank you” he insisted“You sure you want a proper thank you?”“Of course”"Alright”. She got up from his lap and coquettishly, wriggled her body to kneel in front of him and then moved her hand towards his jogger pants pretending to want to do something. Suddenly, she felt something kick her
After food, they relaxed on the sofa and Keith rested his head on her lap while she weaved his hair for him. He really enjoyed this relaxed feeling and they both chatted and enjoyed each other’s company.He thought to himself how he had really changed to an extremely lively person within these two days that Kelsey moved over and wondered if he was still the same cold guy that doesn’t talk much.He then concluded in his heart that he has suddenly become this open all because he’s with someone who’s his friend and he truly loves.“Like how many countries do you have business stakes?” Kelsey asked as she distracted him from his deep thought“Mhmm, quite a number…..China, Saudi Arabia, India, South America, Philippines, lots of countries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, many in Africa, United Kingdom, North America, Singapore, Egypt….Don&r
Dr. Stan started….“Keith and Kelsey, from our conversation, I have made some discoveries and I want you guys to know that our trip to Amberland on Monday is highly crucial and it’s important for Keith’s mum and aunt to meet with us today.In fact Keith, I’ll request that you get them here now so we can have a brief meeting together….and I must prepare your minds ahead of their arrival especially Kelsey….get ready to meet your…
During the time that Keith was making the phone call with Assistant Dave, Dr. Stan pacified Kelsey and interrogated her to get further information on the event that happened 15years ago since she was an eye-witness at the scene.Dr. Stan is a versatile Psychologist in which Forensic Psychology is one of his specialties. He asked critical questions concerning the perpetrators of the horrific crime.He scribbled a sketch of the situation that Kelsey explained and also drew a sketch of the men that she described as the perpetrators.He explained to Keith how his drawings will help the detectives identify the suspects.Kelsey remained devastated as she remembered the horrible experience and Keith did all he could to comfort her and make her happy again.“So I still have my biological mother and father,” she said as she cried again but this time around tears of joy“Now I understand why I felt a strange connection with you
Meanwhile, Mrs. Katherine Jefferson and Mrs. Kimberly Jacobson; Keith’s mum and aunt had arrived and were been entertained in the main sitting room.After their meeting, Assistant Dave saw the detectives off to their cars through the other exit door as it wasn’t necessary to go through the main door since Mrs. Jefferson and Mrs. Jacobson were in the main sitting room already.Dr. Stan decided to go and meet Keith’s mum and aunt and talk to them about the feeling Mrs. Jacobson had in the morning and also discreetly prepare their hearts for the re-union.After Dave got back, he joined Assistant Matthew, Keith, and Kelsey to put finishing touches to their plan and the assistants decided to leave after the meeting ended.This time around, they exited through the main door so they could greet their boss’s parents.Then Keith being alone with Kelsey sought the o
