The Meeting Point -14

This meeting point is sweet and well detailed kai!

It was in 2013, I was posted to the west to serve. 

We all got to the camp safely and service started. My camp shorts were super short, I was hot in camp with my white bum short and Nysc boot. I came out everyday looking cute lol and I was the sports director in camp and also the volleyball leader of my platoon(groups in camp)

 So whenever those soldiers asked why I was dressed that way I always used my post as an excuse telling them I can't do sports in long shorts. I can be very witty so most of the soldiers just let me be. 

Unknowing to me in camp I had a secret admirer. I was always on the move and surrounded with guys so most times my admirer didn't have the opportunity to come close and we were not in the same platoon. 

Whenever we go to mammy(NYSC market) to eat I used to see my secret admirer and I wondered why I always ran into him in camp but I dismissed it.

 I was super busy with activities that I didn't even have time for unnecessary flings but I built friendships. After 3weeks we left camp and was posted to our ppa(place of primary assignment) . My friends were all in a different lga and I was alone. 

I joined Catholic busses to our Ppas cos I heard they didn't have much rules like nccfs and with lesser crowd. It was so true where I served. In the bus I quickly made a friend ,we clicked immediately and she was really helpful told and me not to worry even tho I didn't register with them she would help me pass through their Catholic questions. 

We got to our ppa and they welcomed us and we settled in. It was so peaceful unlike tales we got to hear from the other people how crowded and noisy their own Lodge was. My new girl friend was heaven sent. We quickly got ourselves space to sleep and she taught me how to do the Catholic prayers so by morning I won't be left out. Those people and their morning masses eh compulsory lol. 

The next day we all came out for prayers and introduction and ha! I saw him again. After introduction he walked over to my new girlfriend and exchanged pleasantries. Both were in the same platoon in camp and are based in the same state and are somehow related. She quickly introduced me and in my mind I was like this guy sef. 

He's a simple guy reserved but cool. He kept staring at me. I was uncomfortable and told my friend I didn't like him. All this happened in November/December camp. We all went to our Ppas to ask for permission to travel for the Xmas. My girl and I were to teach at the same school. We got there to sign in and saw him again at the same school. We were all to teach there. 

Funny. 

We cleared ourselves and decided to leave for Xmas to come back in January. My admirer offered to secure an apartment for us all. My friend and I in one room and he and his friend in the other. My girly accepted happy she would be staying with her relation and talked me into agreeing too. 

January we returned saw the lodge liked it, paid for our room and moved out of the Catholic Lodge. That was how our story started.

We were 8 corpers in that Lodge. Four rooms 2 to 1. we all became close. At night we would come out and talk about camp. All my admirer talked about was me and my activities. He said somehow he knew we would meet again. He's so lively, friendly but in a reserved manner. 

Everyone wants him around during conversations cos he has a way of making people comfortable around him. He has this player look from afar but hes not. 

The reverse happened after camp he was now the celebrated one still I played my cool. We would play games most times in our Lodge and somehow we started getting close and before then he told my girlfriend he liked me already. 

He started looking out for me and always wanted to know how I was. He was caring effortlessly and did small small things for me. Everyone at the lodge saw how he invested much time in getting to know me and eventually he broke in and we became friends. It was so refreshing. We spent more time together late at night gisting sometimes till 2am. 

We got so close yet we were not dating till sometime in April we had corpers party at the lodge and it was so intense high and low music. He couldn't anymore so he invited me to their kitchen away from prying eyes. We talked about a lot - home and friends and we eventually kissed. I wanted more, he wanted more also but we stopped. 

We never talked about that night but continued our friendship. Weeks later his roommate redeployed cos of work and he was alone in the room. That place became my second room. My girlfriend hmmmed and hmmmed but I wanted more. We became friends with benefit. Feelings started building up and others saw it but we were in denial. We behaved like a couple but we never accepted we were dating. 

On my birthday that year he got me a new Samsung phone and other things and also organized a small party for me. His was the next month and I travelled home for a week but came back days before got him a cake and my girlfriend and I prepared something really nice. Slowly things were heating up and I never saw it coming but it got More intense.

 The love making, the gifts, the small quarrels. 

Our friends gave up on us cos we never accepted being an item. Sometimes I would ask him what it was they saw that I didn't see. All along he knew but he just didn't want to ruin the moments we were having cos he didn't want to loose me. He was 💯 single.

 I just got out of a messy relationship before camp so I told him my fears of committing again to anybody at least not anytime soon. It got to a point I would tell him literally everything.
We had a fight once and his sis called and pleaded with me to not hurt her only brother. 

Most times when he travelled he bought me things I needed and his sister did the female shopping for me. So she knew. A week to POP it dawned on me that we were getting close to separating. 

I remember my girlfriend asking me ''what next! don't you think it's time to define your relationship?''. 

She truthfully told me how beautiful we both were together and how happy I had been with him and didn't want me to lose him cos he was a catch.

 A secured job after service. He stayed alone already in their state. He was 28 then I was 23. ''He's brilliant and good looking. Just give him few months after service and he's established. I know for sure he's deeply into you''.

 She played my mom at that point. For the first time I accepted and told my friend how I think I'm in love with my admirer. She rebuked me immediately and removed the I think and said girl you are in love period. We all know this so stop the act already lol. 

Pop(passing out) pre party my admirer and I went home early alone in the lodge he poured out his all to me. And there and then the relationship was defined after almost a year and consummated. It was always special with him.

Two years later we were still very strong together. He got a job for me in his state last year. I moved and stayed in my girlfriends family house for a while. Nice people. Till I got a small self con. 

oh! My girly got married first quarter the next year after service still our friendship continued and we all are now in one state. My admirer and I got super close and deeper into the relationship meeting family and all.. Blessings, promotions and expansion has happened ever since.

My birthday this year he proposed in the presence of family and friends at a beach party he arranged for me. It's all going down in December. Preparations are in full gear lol. Excited much.

Over shakara is not good ooo. I almost ruined this my sweet relationship if not for the counsel from my girlfriend and his persistence. Till tomorrow he still calls me his treasure.
