It's the 22nd of July which means it has been a year since I have launched my business and a year since Kofi and I have been in a relationship. The last year has been life changing and I couldn't be any happier with where my life is right now. My business is doing well and it is slowly making a name for itself. I managed to purchase a building for my walk in store which is currently under reconstruction and I am looking for a warehouse to buy so I have more space for production.

As far as my relationship goes, this last year has been absolutely amazing. Not only have we grown closer but our bond has become stronger which I didn't think was even possible. My father and Kofi have become very close and they have a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship that is amazing. I'm laying in bed in a robe after taking a shower when there's a knock on my door and I quickly get up and head to the door.

"Hey Rose."

"Hey Thembisa. Kofi sent me here to do your makeup." she gestures to the small suitcase she has.

"Okay come in." I say and I lead her to my guest bedroom which is really my glam room.

Rose has been one of my best friends since 2014. We met when she was doing makeup at a shoot for the clothing brand I used to work for and we instantly clicked. Lately we haven't been seeing each other because she has been traveling quite a lot due to her work. She sets her things up on my vanity before she starts doing my makeup.

"Friend... we haven't spoken in such a long time."

"I know and I feel bad because I've been missing out on a lot because of work."

"It's okay. How have you been doing? Whenever I'm on Instagram I see you doing makeup for big names and I couldn't be prouder."

"Thanks babe. I'm doing good, life is finally taking the course that I prayed for. Sometimes I pinch myself just to check if it's really me doing makeup for people I look up to."

"Well I'm happy for you."

"Enough about me, you have this glow which is probably because of someone." she says and I find myself instantly smiling without her even having to mention his name.

"He just makes me so happy which is so refreshing because I dealt with people that gave me stress."

"Thank goodness because you really deserved better and I'm happy you found better. Do you know where he is taking you."

"No, he just said someone will come pick me up and take me to The Manor then I'll get further instructions once I get there."

"Lucky you. The Manor is one of the best spots in the city so I know you're going to have an amazing time."

"You know, it amazes me how romantic this guy still is even after a year. I thought it would have faded at some point but he still does the most thoughtful things for me."

"That's because he adores you and that's his way of saying I love you without actually saying."

"I guess I got lucky then."

"Do you think he'll propose tonight?"

"I don't think he's going to do it tonight or anytime soon."

"Okay, in the event that he proposed would you say yes."

"Of course. I have no doubt that I want to spend the rest of my life with Kofi." I add.

"What makes him the one?" Rose asks and I take a moment to ponder on her question.

"I believe Kofi is the one because with him it's not simply because of how I feel about him but how compatible I think we are. I love the person I am when I am with him. I spent my early twenties trying to be who the other guys wanted me to be instead of embracing who I truly am and being my authentic self. We have grown tremendously since being together and I feel secure because I know that I'm with a person who wants to put in work for our relationship."

"I'm glad you got your happy ending."

"Me too."

Another half hour passes and she is finally done with my makeup. I look at myself in the mirror and I love the woman I see and it's not that I don't like myself without makeup but makeup simply enhances the beauty the man above gave me. Rose leaves before I get dressed in an olive green spaghetti strap dress. The way the silk clings to my body and compliments my melanin is out of this world.

I lay my baby hairs before I add a bit of oil to my hair which is styled in bantu knots. I put on the tear drop set Kofi got me for Valentine's Day and some silver strapped heels with diamanté's on them before I check myself in the mirror for the last time. I grab my white Chanel purse and go downstairs where I find the driver who came to fetch me. I head inside The Manor where I am led to the rooftop by a hostess.

There's a red carpet with candles along it which leads to a table. At the end of the carpet stands my adonis looking dashing as per usual in a midnight blue suit with a white shirt and a blue and white striped pocket square. His dreadlocks are styled and the tips are now blonde which I like. When I finally reach him, he pulls me into his warm embrace and my senses are hypnotized by his intoxicating scent.

"You look so handsome baby." I compliment which earns me that panty dropping smile.

"Thank you. You look gorgeous this evening."

"Everything looks absolutely spectacular." I gush while looking at the setup. This man always outdoes himself to which makes me appreciate him even more for putting so much effort.

"Well I did all of this for us and I'm glad you like it."

He pulls my chair out and I take a seat. A waiter comes to our table and he pours the champagne that was chilling in an ice bucket. He leaves for a short while before he returns with our starters which are a crab salad with a lemon vinaigrette.

"Can you believe it has been a year since you asked me to be your girlfriend?"

"It honestly doesn't feel like three hundred and sixty five days have passed but it's truly amazing to be sitting across from you celebrating this last year."

"I appreciate having you in my life and I'm so grateful to God for giving me someone as loving as you are. I'm glad I found someone who brings out the best in me and someone who wants the same things in the relationship as I do." I say.

"I'm grateful to have you in my life as well. I always felt like there was something missing in my life and when you came around I suddenly felt whole. You were the part of me that was missing and I thank the man above for giving me such an amazing woman." he adds

The waiter clears our plates before he returns with our mains which is lamb shank that was slow cooked in wine and vegetables with creamy mashed potato. It looks and smells sublime which makes me even more excited to dig into it. Dinner is spent in nostalgia—reliving all the things we have managed to do together this past year. We also talk about our goals and where we would like to go from this point onwards.

After dessert he stands up and holds his hand out for me to take so we can dance to the music being played by the violinist. My right hand goes on his shoulder and the other holds his while his right hand rests on the small of my back. I look into his eyes as we sway and all I can see is the adoration he has for me. We do not say anything to each other as we sway to the music but I can still feel the love he has for me radiating between us.

The song stops and I grab my Chanel purse before we head to his car. The drive to his place seems long maybe it's because I am heavily anticipating what is to come because I know it's going to be a good time. We head to his bedroom once we get to his place and he makes me sit on the bed while he fetches a few things. Some minutes later, he walks out of his closet with a fluffy pair of handcuffs and what looks like a bullet.

We both like using toys because it just adds a bit of spice to our sex life. He asks me to remove my dress which is quite easy to remove because it slips off. He asks me to lay down and I do so without hesitation. His mouth french kisses my pussy which sends me into a frenzy. My hands pull on his dreadlocks gently as he continues to feast on me. Once I orgasm, he comes up and kisses me which allows me to taste myself. While he is tonguing me down, his fingers make their way back into my pussy and he starts finger fucking me. His fingers curl inside me and they reach my spot.

"Baby." I moan.

"Hmmm..."

"I'm about to cum."

"Cum on my fingers, give me all you have." he says and I find myself cuming for the second time tonight. He licks his fingers before he gets up and puts a condom on. He returns to the bed and strokes himself while I watch. He then instructs me to go on all fours and put my hands behind my back before he cuffs them. He enters and I gasp at how full I feel. His pace is slow at first but gradually increases. My juices drip down my thighs as he pumps in and out of me and all you can hear are my moans and the sound of skin on skin.

"Can I remove the condom?"

"Yes." I say without even thinking about what I have just said. You know the dick is good when it makes you say all kinds of things without even realizing it. When he enters my pussy again it's even better. I love his dick feels inside me raw and I can tell he loves it too because of the sounds he is making.

"Your shit is so wet baby. You make me want to cum so fast." he says before increases his pace.

"Fuck daddy, I'm about to cum."

"Cum on this dick baby." he encourages and I clench myself around him as I orgasm. He gives me a few more pumps before he pulls out and releases his seed on my butt. He removes the handcuffs before he goes to his bathroom and returns with a wet rag which he uses to clean me up.

"I hope you don't think that's it. I'm giving you a bit of time to rest so you get energized for the night we have ahead of us."

"There's more?" I ask which earns me a chuckle.

"What did you think? I haven't used the bullet yet and I am looking forward to how your body is going to respond to it."

"I can't wait too. I got you something."

"Baby we said no gifts."

"I know but I just wanted to splurge on you a little bit. I say before finding my purse and retrieving the box that is inside it. He sits up and rests his back on the headboard as he opens the gift in his hands. I got him a tennis bracelet because he misplaced his other one which he really liked.

"Baby."

"You told me that you misplaced your old one so I decided to get you a new one."

"Thank you very much. This one is even better than the one I had." he says with a smile.

"You're welcome baby."

"I think it's time for me to thank you for this gift. Are you ready?" he says and I nod.

I lay on my side and he plays with me before he slides into me with such ease. He breathes on my neck as he gives me deep powerful strokes that make me roll my eyes to the back of my head. When I feel like it can't get any better, he places the bullet on my clit. His deep strokes and the high speed of the bullet sends me into a frenzy. I find myself gripping on the sheet as the bullet stimulates my clit and the curve of his cock reaches my g-spot.

"I'm about to squirt daddy." I moan.

"Squirt on my dick baby." he says and liquid gushes from me like a fountain. He switches positions and I find myself ontop of him riding him like a rodeo. I go up and down, side to side and I can feel his dick throbbing inside me.

"Get up baby, I'm about to nut." he warns but I continue going until his seed coats my pussy. We have always been careful during sex except tonight. Like I said earlier, good dick will make you do dumb things. I get up and as I'm walking to the bathroom I can feel his seed running down my legs. Once I clean myself up, I return to the bed where I find resting his back on the headboard.

"Remind me to get you a plan b tomorrow."

"Yes daddy." I say and he smirks.

"Stop before I bend you over because I still have the stamina."

"As much as I would love that, I am too sore to continue."

"It's okay beautiful. I hope you had a great first anniversary."

"It was beautiful. I love you baby."

"I love you too now lets get some sleep." I say and we fall asleep with me cuddling her.
