Love Diary - S01 E01

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

I went to a youth conference at the Lekki in

Lagos. After the event, I decided to go and relax

at the beach. There I made new friends, Moses

– a tall dark boy with bulging pockets. I don’t

know what he puts in there. In fact, he is a

talkative; and Timothy- a Lagos boy that uses

slangs to show that he has swag. Actually

Timothy is of average height, and he is

chocolate. I am fair and 5 feet 6 inches tall. I

think my complexion makes me to stick out like

a sore thumb. We actually discovered that we

are all of the same age.

The three of us are all thirty years of age; all of

us single and searching. Already Moses and

Timothy have girlfriends but you know what I

mean. I guess we are enjoying our bachelor life.

We don’t want the fun to end. Timothy has his

own clothing business in Surulere. Moses works

in an office where they sell and repair

computers. And me? Don’t worry; you will get the

gist later.

It was around four in the evening in the month of

February. The weather is cool to my taste. I

went for a swim near the shore and as I was

coming out from the water, I saw her……

Our eyes met instantly and I felt that electricity

all over me. She was relaxing under the evening

sun with just bra and bikini. Her golden hair

cascaded over her shoulders down her tanned

skin. Just looking at her almost made me to fall

back inside the water. I have never seen a girl as

beautiful and angelic as her. She was fair with

eyes that made her look so gorgeous and

delicious….

I came out of the water, still looking at her.

“Omo, this beauty no be from this Lekki ooo,”

said Timothy.

“Martin, what are you waiting for?Go for it,”

Moses said as he urged me.

I looked at him.

“Yes, you made it obvious; you have been staring

at her like you are in a trance,” Moses added.

Must you spell it out? I said in my mind.

“But seriously, she’s hot. Look at her waist. Kim

Kardashian,” Timothy added with his new slang.

His eyes were on her. In fact all eyes in the

beach were on her.

Omo, I have to take action before someone else

does. This sun was fading slowly. I put on my red

polo as I started walking towards the object of

my attraction.

Omo, my confidence has gone; I don’t even know

what to say when I meet her.I struggled to walk

as a feeling of shyness swept over me. I

wobbled over the peach of sand and almost fell

down in front of her. I gained my balance

immediately, then our eyes met again and I

couldn’t speak.

I was just there, staring at her. It was as if the

daze of her beauty put me in a trance.

She looked curiously polite at me with loving

eyes, and I felt weak.

Then she broke the awkward silence.

“Hi, are you a tourist guide or are you lost?”

Omo see jamb question.As a correct guy, I

smiled and replied, “No, I do come here often to

loosen up. The sun is fading, I felt like I will be

able to see the beauty of the sunset as it

reflects over the scenery better from your side. I

hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all. It’s true, it’s lovely to watch it from

here,” she said as her smile melted my heart.

“I am Samantha Menziwa from South Africa and

you are-”

Omo, see class.

“I am Christopher Ayodele. My friends call me

Chris.”
