Awakening love 💕😍... Issa thread!
My name is Grace Ifarahanoluwa Johnson and I’m a hopeless romantic.
I met Steven through a mutual friend, Tomi. I have no illusions that it was love at first sight. It wasn’t.
No butterflies in the belly and all that overrated mushy stuff.

At the time of our initial contact, I paid little attention to him because I thought I was falling in love with Tomi.
Steven was Tomi’s best friend.

We all hung out together, those awkward group outings after work and on the weekends where I never got any time alone with Tomi. It was on those outings and hangouts that I began to notice Steven well.

He was nice, smart, funny and pleasant to talk to. I won’t describe him as dashingly handsome but he sure wasn’t a chore to look at. Most of all I liked his confidence. He wasn’t one to blow his horn about his achievements (unlike Tomi who was all bark and no bite😂😂)

After a couple of months of hanging out with Tomi and his friends, I began to see who Tomi really was and there was no way in hell I was falling in love with such a narcissistic SOB, besides I wasn’t ready to become one of his harem of babes. 😒😒

Awakening love 💕...

Dating Tomi was no longer an option but hanging out was still so much fun.
After a while, I found myself getting attracted to Steven. I didn’t want to be. I even tried to be logical about it. He wasn’t rich, neither was he strikingly handsome.

He was, in fact, nothing like the picture I had I my head when I pictured what the love of my life would look like. Yet, I couldn’t deny the attraction. The day that would accelerate the track on which my heart was racing was Tomi’s birthday.

The party was at the Baracuda beach resort, Ajah. It was crazy!
In total, we were eight that went. Tomi, two of his friends from work with their current and of course, temporary babes😒😒, Steven and I. Eating, drinking, a little bit of smoking and all day dancing.

By late evening we were all exhausted and too high to drive home. We couldn’t leave the cars behind to take Ubers so we decided to spend the night there.

Damn! Who knew their rooms were so expensive! The rest of the guys each picked a room for he and his bae so I was left with Steven.We decided to stay in a room together to save money
We were too tired to even shower so we ended up crashing on opposite sides of the bed, dog-tired.

Since this is real life, not some romanticized Nollywood crap, Steven didn’t vacate the double bed to sleep on the couch. In a matter of minutes, he was in dreamland.

I fell asleep a couple of minutes later while trying to upload the pictures I took at the party on my WhatsApp status.

Around 1am I woke up to find myself next to Steven. Squinting my eyes at the bright light, I tried to remember how I got there. Apparently, I had tossed and turned restlessly despite my tiredness. Unable to go back to sleep, I observed Steven as he slept.

He looked so peaceful and childlike and he had this overall aura of innocence. And then his snoring began to annoy me and I kicked him lightly. 😆
He moved a bit and continued his blissful sleep. The snoring 😴 stopped for a while and then continued.

I kicked him again, this time with enough force to wake him. He opened his eyes. he saw me staring at him and smiled. “Am I drooling ni? why are you staring?” he said yawning.
“you were snoring joor” I laughed
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” he inquired

“I guess it’s the unfamiliar surrounding that’s making me restless in my sleep and your snoring too” I teased
“it’s sexy, right?”. “you wish”
Our faces were already so close he didn’t move too far before encasing my lips with his. I didn’t even think of pulling back.

Let’s just say he kissed me senseless. When he pulled back, I could see desire smoldering in his eyes.😍😍

To be continued...🤪🤪

Expecting your comments 😌😌😉

He stood up to switch of the light and came back to the bed.I hadn’t moved an inch.Clothes disappeared, I don’t know where to.He began to do things to me with his hands and mouth that seemed almost spiritual.Before long I was quavering with the explosion of pleasure that followed

He kissed me and I sighed softly against his lips then I whispered to him, “I don’t want to go all the way”. “okay” he said although I could sense his reluctance.
I got to work trying to replicate the magical sensations he made me feel earlier and before long...

I had him where I wanted him- over the edge of ecstasy.
He pulled me close and with his arm around me as if to keep me from running away, he slept.😴😴😴
