'Allow yourself to grow and to do it for only yourself.'
"What is going on here?" I ask Kai and he turns to look at me.
He takes time studying my face before he finally asks. "Are you nervous?" I don't know why it sounds ridiculous coming from his mouth. Maybe because it is
'Samantha, what are you nervous about really?' I realize I am feeling ridiculous. I came here because I wanted to and because I trusted Kai.
"I am just confused about what is going on that's all," I reply simply and he just nods his head.
"Let's head inside." He dismisses the group of people that came with us before he brings his hand takes it in mine and leads me inside.
The villa looks so beautiful inside, as it is decorated in modern woods on the outside exterior, it's how it is also decorated in woods in the inside.
I realize this type of architect is so much more beautiful than I thought.
We reach the living room and there is a big ceiling to the floor window that has a beautiful view side of outside where there is the sight of trees and woods.
On the other side of the living, there is a fire pit burning.
This house is so beautiful.
"Where is this place?" I turn to ask Kai and he walks closer to me sneaking his arms to my waist which is something am starting to learn that he likes doing. But am not complaining because I enjoy having him as close to me as I can.
"How do you find it?" He asks and I smile. "It's so beautiful."
"There is nothing more beautiful like you Samantha, remember that every time you see something beautiful.." If he wanted to get my heart to swell at his words he sure got it.
I smile shyly at him because is still me who doesn't know how to take compliments.
"And you are even more beautiful when you shy away." He says and I look away.
He pulls my head up and chuckles at me before bringing his lips to mine.
He kisses me a slow kiss and I feel tinkles tickle me from the motion of it. He pulls away but I bring my arms behind his neck and bring him back to my lips.
I love how he devours my mouth with his tongue.
He does it so experienced that it makes me wonder how many women his done it with for him to get so experienced.
We pull away and I bring my tongue to lick my lips before I look up at him. He saw my action and when I find him clenching his jaw I wonder if it's inappropriate to do so.
He looks to the side.
"Come and I will show you." He takes my hand again in his and leads me outside to the other side of the house.
Oh my God am still amazed about the beauty of this place and I still don't know what we are doing here or where we at.
I realize he is taking me to a table set with every type of breakfast food.
It's not so big because it's a rounded table with two chairs but trust me when I say the food could feed a whole family.
"Kai, where is this place?" I ask when he pulls me a chair to sit down on like the gentleman that he is.
He walks to the side brings the other chair close to my side and smiles at me.
"I wanted a private date for me and my girlfriend." He says to me and it brings a smile to my face when he calls me.
'How lucky am I to have a handsome manly man like Kai call me his girlfriend?'
I still don't get how I've come to this with him but I guess time will help.
"Are we still in Rwanda?" He nods to my question.
"We are in the northwest part of it."
"It is so beautiful here," I say and I mean it, the place looks so magical to me.
"I love how you find beauty in everything as much as I find beauty in you." He knows how to keep a smile on my face.
"How many girls have you told that line," I ask him wanting to know.
I want to know everything about him but I feel like the start I want is how many girls am I getting into a competition about him with.
"You will be surprised about the number."
"Try me," I say as I look at him challengingly. He has to know am serious so I press him to tell me.
"Come on Kai, sell yourself out."
"It is only you."
I choke on the juice I am drinking on.
"You are lying." He smiles. The kind of smile that makes me want to pause everything and try to draw it even though that is something my fingers were not meant to do but for him, my body would do anything.
"And you lied to me saying you trusted me." He accuses and I frown.
"That is relevant, but you my man. You are lying to me. I won't be believing any more compliments I get from you."
"Samantha." He says to me and just sighs before saying. "I didn't bring you here to argue about how mesmerized I've been with you since you stepped out of your house in that white jumpsuit and red heels looking like an angel falling from heaven to me. You had my heart at that first sight only to be shattered when I realized how old you are but darling, that didn't stop me from always having my eyes, mind, and heart on you. This, me and you here is way too magical and unbelievable to me as you would ever imagine so please trust me, darling. When I say you are the only woman that has captured my attention because you are."
I could feel his words pull a string at the edge of my heart too because I also remember our first time meeting. I thought he was our chauffeur and I knew I was going to cause a world war with my family if I didn't have him as mine only.
The very first time meeting him, he had my mind reconsider all the things I didn't find as useful before so useful and so in desire of them. I wanted him the very first I met so badly for him to do me as he wished.
The first time I saw him, he made me feel like a woman which I haven't ever felt like my whole life.
"I don't know what to say." I feel a lump in my throat because I have never been told words like those before.
"Don't say anything darling, just let me do all the saying and let me do all the work in this relationship." As he keeps saying words like that, he keeps making me want to cry.
I look away and try to compose myself before I finally say to him.
"You are my first boyfriend Kai, an-nd in case you uh...…uh you haven't noticed yet am inexperienced in this a lot and I fancied you so much too from the very first moment I saw that now that I have you I don't want to screw this up." I feel like crying and so I do.
The thought of losing him or messing this up like I just did a second ago feels so scary.
He stands up and gets closer to me before he pulls me close to him and comforts me.
"Am sorry," I say once I have stopped crying and he chuckles when he goes back in his seat.
"No, it's no problem."
"Am not a crying girl," I say because now I feel embarrassed.
"Whatever kind of girl you are, I adore you darling." He says and I appreciate him, I hope he means what he is saying to me but I have trust in Kai.
Something in me tells me he is as royal and honest as his name.
"So, coming here is the surprise or the gift?" I try to change the subject and it seems to work.
"It will be whatever you want it to be, finish your food I need to take you somewhere."
"Are we flying again in the helicopter?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Was the ride that bad?"
I shrug. "No, I quite enjoyed it."
"Glad." We continue to talk casually as we enjoy lunch and when we finish he leads me to tour the villa and it's when I realize it's more of a resort.
We are walking side to side around the place when I keep seeing arts of gorillas.
"Are there some real gorillas?"
"Do you know of them?" He asks and I nod.
"Am an animal person Kai and I would love to see these if they are real or here, I don't think I have ever seen them and I think I have read they are found in Africa, are there some here?"
"Yes, they are endangered species that are almost only left in Africa and this country happens to preserve some of them. We could pay a visit to them and learn more if you would like." I turn to smile at him.
"I would love to, Kai you keep on treating me better and I don't feel like I want to go home. I feel like I could stay right here with you forever. You make me feel things that I have never felt before."
I say but he doesn't reply to me.
He just pulls me closer and kisses me on the forehead.
"Let's make a stop to the gift." He says to me and we walk back to the villa.
I don't know why we needed to tour the place if we were here for a private date but I don't care.
I enjoyed spending time with Kai and talking to him and am not about to spoil his effort to please me with my comment.
Plus I loved this villa too a lot, it's so beautiful, so peaceful. I really wouldn't mind this place being a home.
The green tropical is everywhere which adds to its beauty
The villa is surrounded by a big forest, there is an outdoor pool on the back side, and resting lounge chairs on the other side. The place is purely amazing.
We walk back into the villa and it's almost noon.
I feel like I could use a rest but I don't want to spend the time that I have with Kai with me asleep.
He walks to one of the rooms before he walks back out to me with a box.
He hands it to me and I get excited instantly as I rush to open it.
"What is in here?"
"Look." He says and when I open it I find some paper in there and I frown.
"What do these say," I ask waving the papers in front of him, I run my eyes through them and I start frowning when I realize what they say but I don't believe it for even a second.
"This is my gift to you Samantha, I know it may not look enough or more like a gift but I did it with a good intention." I look at him and I wonder where he gets his doubtful from.
"Kai, stop," I say to him when I realize his mood swings and when he starts getting nervous.
"Hear me out, I saw that you rented this house for a year," I say but he still nods his head looking sideways and not at me.
I step closer to him and turn his face to look at me. "You don't have to feel bad or nervous about anything. Am here to try to know you and build something more with you and I loved this place so much, it's beautiful but….." I hesitate before I carry on and say the words I want to say to him.
"I uh…. I can't move in with you Kai."
