Sitting on this beach chair sipping on a cocktail while looking at the beautiful water with my adonis right next to me is something I have always dreamt of doing. If you told me that I would be in paradise with the love of my life a year ago, I would have laughed in your face but it's truly astonishing what a year can do.

We arrived in Seychelles which is in Eastern Africa this morning after fifteen hours but it was worth it because the serenity and beauty that this place holds is unmatched. We're jet lagged so we're taking the day off to relax and get ourselves together for the next few days that are filled with all kinds of adventure.

"It's beautiful out here and the weather is just perfect." I say.

"I'm glad we're able to take these kinds of trips together, where we relax and enjoy each other's company without having to worry about work."

"I'm glad too and I can't wait to spend the next couple of days doing all kinds of adventurous things together." I wink which earns me a smile.

"Lets drink to having fun and making lots of memories." he says and our glasses clink.

I lay back on my beach chair that is under an umbrella and read a romance novel I have been loving as of late while my adonis sleeps on the beach chair. We eventually get up and head to our room where we decide to take a shower together. Taking showers with Kofi is one of my favorite things to do because of the intimacy we share. We take turns to wash each other and there's just something intimate about it which I can't explain. After drying up and moisturizing, we simply wear our robes and eat the room service Kofi ordered. After filling our bellies we retire to bed because we've had a long day and we need to get some rest.

...the next morning.

I wake up due to pleasure I am receiving down below. Kofi's head is buried between my legs and he is feasting on me like a man that found food after been on some kind of fast for a long time. He spells his name on my pussy and I quickly find myself releasing on his tongue.

He retrieves a condom and covers his beautiful penis—you read right, I called his penis beautiful. He taps his dick on my opening before he slides in, making me gasp at the feeling of having him inside me. He pins my hands above my head as he gives me deep strokes and it agitates me because I just want to claw on his back. He groans as he moves in and out of me which I absolutely love because some men think it's pussy to be vocal during sex but I like hearing how much he is enjoying being in my pussy.

We switch position and now I'm top of him. My movements are slow and I grind on him while looking into his eyes. I feel myself reaching my peak and I begin to clench myself around which earns me a couple of profanities from him.

"I want to cum daddy." I moan.

"Cum on my dick baby." he edges and I find myself rolling my eyes to the back of my head as I orgasm. He doesn't stop, he continues to pump into me from below and once I have come down from my high, I meet his thrusts. As I continue riding him, one of my hands go behind me and grabs his sack which I gently squeeze. This does the trick because I start to feel his cock throbbing inside me, indicating that he is nearing his release.

"Fuck baby I'm about to nut."

"Give me all your nut baby." I say and he lets out a groan as he releases in the condom. We lay there breathless like every other time we do this.

"That was a good way to wake me up baby."

"Fuck breakfast, I'd rather have you everyday instead."

"You're so corny."

"Only for you beautiful."

"So what are we doing today?" I ask.

"I planned for us to go on a private boat charter so we get to see the beautiful waters and snorkel as well as riding around the island on some bicycles."

"That sounds exciting."

"Well we should probably get ready because the boat should be here soon."

"Okay."

We go into the bathroom which luckily has a his and hers sink because getting ready back home is always a problem. When I'm at Kofi's place, he often complains that I hog the sink with all my skincare stuff so this is definitely convenient for the two of us—we can do our own thing without worry about bumping into the other person. I change into a one piece bathing suit with some denim shorts and I grab a small bag where I put some sunscreen, not forgetting my oversized sunhat.

We are taken by boat from the island we are staying at and we go to another beautiful island. Seychelles is comprised of many islands so we're getting the opportunity to explore as many as we can. We get snorkeling gear and I get to experience something I have never experienced in my life. The water is crystal clear and the colorful fish under the water are absolutely beautiful. After having some fun in the water, we are taken to another island and it takes about fifteen minutes for us to get to that island.

We find a restaurant where we spend about thirty minutes enjoying some fresh seafood. I don't eat seafood that much but the way they prepare it here is immaculate and the way the flavors just burst in your mouth is something else. After lunch, we get some bikes and we just ride around the island enjoying what Seychelles has to offer curtesy of the tour guide we have with us.

Seychelles is beautiful and I feel beyond grateful to get to see it's beauty with my adonis by my side. Around 4pm we head back to the boat where we are taken back to the island we are staying at. I walk into our room feeling exhausted and I slump on the bed and immediately fall asleep. A few hours pass but they feel like minutes when I am woken up by Kofi.

"Baby wake up."

"What's the time?"

"It's almost 6:30pm. You need to wake up and freshen up so we can have dinner."

I force myself out of bed and I take a shower before joining my man on our private deck. The weather is now warm which is perfect for us to sit outside and eat. We order some room service and we have dinner while having the most random conversations and listening to the waves. After dinner we retire to bed where we just lay there in our love bubble. I lay on his chest while he caresses my back and I end up falling into a deep slumber.

The next day consists of us going on a yacht and having a sun set cruise. There are a few people on the yacht with us which is okay because having a lot of people here would have most likely ruined the experience for us. This my first time on a yacht so I'm excited. We sip on some champagne and have some snacks curtesy of the chef we have on deck. Kofi hugs me from behind as we enjoying watching the sun set on the beautiful waters.

I find myself laughing a bit when I look back at the past. My ex swore up and down that I would never find someone that would love me as much as he did yet here I am in the arms of a man whom I know loves me irrevocably. It's crazy how love can come while you are least expecting it and how you can find yourself being enticed by the whole existence of another human being.

As he holds from behind I feel safe and I can feel the love he has for me through his gentleness with me. The rest of the cruise consists of us being in our love bubble and us enjoying the beauty that is around. When we get back to the shoreline it is almost dark but I'm not ready to go back to our room. We find a restaurant nearby where we indulge in the amazing food and drink quite a number of cocktails which leave us a bit tipsy.

By the time we get back to our room we are both horny and ready for a night of passion. We have made love quite a number of times before but this time it feels different. We may be a bit tipsy but our souls are as sober as can be and they connect with each other in a way they have never done. I find a few tears cascading my face and it's not because I'm in pain or any discomfort but it's because of the way this moment brings closer than we have ever been. I never thought I would fall for him more than I already have but this moment proves otherwise.

The next day is a lazy one because we only have one activity and that is an outdoor movie night. This is our last day here and I have enjoyed every moment we've been here and I'm almost tempted to extend our stay but my assistant called telling me that a well known person wants to do a collaboration with me so I have to get back to work soon. I change into a simple flowy dress and I let my braids down. We get to the place we're having our movie night and it's a cute setup up with some snacks.

We watch The Notebook which I have watched a hundred times before but I'm always up to watch it again. Once the credits roll, another clip starts playing and Kofi pops onto the screen. The clip is simply him sharing how much he cares for me and him sharing things he loves about me. When the clip ends he smoothly slides off his chair and goes down on one knee. I feel a whirlwind of emotions when he does this because I was not expecting him to do this here. He opens the velvet box in his hand and he takes my left hand in his right hand. My heart starts beating at a mile a minute as I anticipate him asking the question.

"It was May 16 2016 when I saw you for the very first time and instantly felt drawn to you. I remember what your hair looked like and what you were wearing because it was the day I met my future wife. I remember telling my friends that I had met my future wife and they laughed because they thought I was played around but I was actually serious. I was drawn to your amazing aura, your infectious smile, your beauty and most of all your heart which accepted me and all my flaws. For the last thirty years I have been riding on my own and I would love for you to join me on this journey we call life and for us to make more memories. With that being said, Thembisa Abel-Obi would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

"Yes." I say with happy tears running down my cheeks.

He slides the ring onto my finger and he pulls me up for a hug. We embrace each other for a while, taking in this beautiful moment we just shared before we leave the outdoor movie setup so we can have dinner elsewhere. We have a romantic dinner by the beach and I'm still in disbelief that I am a fiancée. I stare at the ring loving how it looks and the symbolism it has. It's not just a ring to me but a symbol of our love and a commitment to me.

"I take it you love the ring. Your eyes haven't left it since I put it on you." he jokes which causes me to smile.

"I absolutely love it. You did a great job picking it."

"You should thank your cousin because she helped me design it."

"Now it makes sense why she kept asking about the types of rings I like and why the two of you were always having these lunches."

"Yeah, it was all for you."

"Are you truly ready for this commitment?" I ask.

"Yes I am. Are you?"

"I'm ready to make that commitment to you and to start this new chapter together."

"I'm glad we're on the same page then because there's no doubt in my mind that you are the one I want to build this life with."

"I can't believe I'm now an engaged woman, it feels surreal."

"Well maybe we should go back our room and celebrate how we know best." he winks.

"Okay." I say and he lifts me and carries me to our room where make earthshaking love. He falls asleep afterwards but I lay next to him thinking about our future. As much as I am excited about our future, I'm also nervous because I don't know what to expect but I can only hope that our relationship continues to flourish.

The next morning we are up early for our flight back home. Once we board the plane and get comfortable in our seats, I find myself getting this feeling that I can't shake off. This feeling isn't the result of my doubts about marrying Kofi but I just have this unnerving feeling. I shake it off but it would be later when I would realize that it was premonition for an unexpected twist in our relationship.
