Chapter 31 - Her first real party.

The drive was just an hour before he turned to the serene environment that looked heavenly. Green lush grass carpeted the whole surface as trees covered the whole environment. It looked more like a botanical garden, the gentle breeze from an unknown destination seem to envelop the place, the Zephyr quite soothing to the body as the heavenly atmosphere did correspond with every attribute of nature. Walking on the lush grass, one's foot seems to sink into them with the softness that meets the feet. The flowers were a perfect match adding unending beauty and sophistication as their fragrance rented the air and evenly corresponded to the evening chirps and songs from the birds. the tall palm trees seem to join in the happy throng as it danced and clapped with reckless abandon, the claws shaking gently to the rhythm that was played by the fresh air that is ecstatic to the eyes and mind. It was a perfect environmental fit for the crowning of a queen. In a little stream not far from the venue, the fishes seem to join in the anticipation as they danced gracefully in the slow-flowing waters bringing great expectation of freedom and joy. The scattered seats were all of the different colors which helped to add beauty and ambiance to the place. There were balloons of different colors all crafted to ensure that beauty is said to have seen its limit. The balloons were used to craft decorative designs and wordings describing the celebrant and from unknown backgrounds, music poured out causing a climax to the ears and eyes, bringing in conformity to the body and soul. The melody of the music seems to explain in detail the essence of the whole environment which sparkled in beauty and glory. It was indeed a spectacular sight filled with beauty and wealth.

As Munah parked the car Adah could not hold back the surprise, she almost gave herself away but held herself for her relationship with Munah is not yet official. The beauty and elegance that met her eyes were electrifying and stimulating beyond her wildest dreams, She looked round in awe as she saw her name designed on the flowers and trees. Lily came rushing towards her. She was dressed in pink and on her feet was saddled a white strapless low hill shoe that fitted to perfection. Her makeup was light but all the same, her skin glowed in perfect beauty. They hugged each other with Lily staring at her friend with glee in her eyes. She started by greeting her and congratulating her on the new acquisition. Adah waved it off as typical of her and could not help but tell Lily how well the scene looked. She settled down but not with Munah and this she did not quite fancy. She sat with Lily and with her eyes she searched for her love. Her eyes followed him everywhere which Lily observed and at a point whispered to her that the young man was not running away. They laughed it off and enjoyed the scenes and activities of the party as it unfolded.

Adah listened to the encomiums that were poured out by most of the staff who were specifically selected from every sector of the empire. Adah could not help but wonder who was behind the party and even Lily whom she has started asking did refuse to tell. Mrs. Randolph was the master of the ceremony. She did a good job anchoring the party perfectly well that there was never a dull moment at the party. Later she was called upon to give a speech. Though not prepared she stood up and though short of words but thanked the organizers and everyone that did attend. She did not say much nor did the speech take up to five minutes before she went back to her seat. The music, games, and all almost brought tears to her eyes because this is the first time she is attending a real party as an adult.

Food and drink time was quite eventful as there was more than enough to eat and drink. assorted drinks and wine, as well as grilled and barbecued meat of different tastes and preferences, were almost everywhere. As darkness approached, lights of different colors came up and beautified the place more. It was as if the party should not come to an end, They all danced, cheered, and enjoyed the party. Adah was honored with a portrait of herself and a plaque decked in gold. She was ecstatic with joy and could not hide her appreciation for the organizers of the surprise party. Her vote of thanks was also spot-on as she begged to be excused which they refused insisting that she must cut her cake. She laughed as she did so and the popping of Champagne took another dimension as it was sprayed on all and sundry. Adah took time out to especially thank Mrs. Randolph who whispered to her that Munah was also behind the whole birthday party arrangement. She pretended not to be surprised as they all saw her off to the car where she waited for Munah who appeared some moment later to take her home. They cheered as she entered the car, she waved them goodbye as the car slowly turned and made its way out of the party scene. As the car fully entered the highway, Adah looked at her wristwatch and was shocked that it was almost an hour to midnight. Her joy knows no bounds as she lacked how to express it, especially to Munah. Though he went off her sight at the party for an hour or two and sometimes he is with Mrs. Randolph which she does not seem to like. All the same, she enjoyed every minute and second of the party and is even shy to say that this was her first real party!

They got to Creek Island after midnight and entered the house. Surprisingly, oath of them did not appear weary or exhausted. Adah rushed upstairs and deposited her gifts in the room before going for a shower. She came out to see a note on the table which simply reads: "meet me at the pool" and smiled to herself. She wore her transparent nightgown and slipped her feet on a leather and fur slipper before coming out of the room. She climbed down the stairs and gently made her way to the swimming pool. She saw him backing her and walking towards him, he has removed his shirt and the white singlet exposed his strong masculinity. The breeze from the ocean now is a little chilly and the lights in and around the swimming pool made the place a beauty to behold. She held him as she heaved and tightened her grip on him. He turned and took her completely in his arms as she moaned and searched his lips with hers. They searched each other lips and took in each other's saliva until he pulled away and knelt before her. She stood before him panting and with her heart slamming furiously against her ribs, he brought out a small jewelry box from his pocket, opened it, and revealed a ring that was pure gold. He took it out and as he knelt he brought out her left hand and searched her fingers. He kissed each of them as he came to a stop at the middle finger. He searched her face and could see her tears for she has realized what he was about to do. He slipped the ring and it entered and fitted her adding beauty to her fingers. He rose gently and with his lips wiped the tears and held both of her hands.

" Today, I want to fulfill my promise to you. I don't want to live again without you. I put this ring on you because you are now mine. My love promise me you will treasure and keep it into the day of our union?" Munah said looking into her eyes which despite the tears sparkled with delight.

"I accept this responsibility with joy. I have long waited for this day and you. I am now fulfilled. Thank you for everything, thank you for today, the party, and the smiles you have given me. Thank you for choosing me amongst all women, thank you for your love which is bro going laughter and joy to me. Thank you for today I promise to make you happy beyond your expectation." Adah said softly shaking with passion as he took her in his arms again. She clasped herself to him and Munah held her as she cried softly and her tears dropped on his shoulders trickling down towards his back. As he could not stand her tears any longer, he carried her and made his way to the building. He carried her to the room and after cleaning her tears with his lips he found her lips. This time the kiss was voracious as they kissed none stop and only refrained to catch their breath. Adah looked at the gold as it nestled beautifully on her finger and admired it beyond words.

"You don't know what this means to me," she whispered knowing fully well that the ring may have cost him a fortune. He dried and kissed her again as she fell back on the bed and surrendered herself to him. He has seen her nakedness many times but today it is special within her transparent nightgown. He looked at her body and admired every inch of it as Adah stared at him with so much love in her that the world cannot describe. First, it was the private jet from her parents, and the best of it, secondly, it was the party her first ever party organized by the love of her life and the proposal that she has long waited for. As she thought about all these she felt herself convulsing more out of passion as she felt his lips on hers again.
