It's the 14th, hush up. :) shhhh

Osakwe moved with ease around the table, placing down utensil and flute glasses onto the table top of pinks and reds. A center piece of a rose formed heart, it laid perfectly between them with the third seat filled with a dark brown bear, with black shiny eyes and a matte sewn nose. The stomach, muzzle and paw pads were a matching pink, with Cairo’s and his own Initials on the left foot in white thread.

Seats were dusted off and candles were lit around them in the kitchen. Osakwe was proud of his set up! His Dad’s gave him permission to use the house, thus they were out for the night on a two day date for the valentines holiday. He got a text earlier that afternoon that they’ve set up a hotel suite and already on the town for shopping and hanging out together. He loved it himself, happy they could be so free now he was an adult for them to no longer watch over like a hawk. Though they were bummed they couldn’t see Cairo again in person just yet.

Osakwe looked over everything again, dimming the lights in the kitchen and moving to the living room to re-fluff pillows on the sofa and blankets on the seats to floor. Table covered in chocolates, soft drinks, water and valentine themed snacks from the local mart. He didn’t have the amount of money Cairo had, or had access too if he wished to take it. Not that it mattered, but Osakwe was determined to shower his new boyfriend in his dedication and love to this relationship too!

Thus, with a wide grin, he rushed upstairs, stripping on his way to the bathroom to hop inside and make sure he was set for the evening! A pre-ordered Uber for Cairo to be driven over in, notified him of the Tiger’s arrival and with a quick pat down to dry and fingers through his curls to give them that usual bounce from being wetted down. He got dressed. A smart look of a white blouse and black slacks. He debated with a tie and ended up with a black tie too! Sleeves were rolled up, folded neatly at his elbows and he tucked his shirt in. Turning left and right in his mirror to nod. Yep! Soft cologne on and another ruffle of his hair with towel to rid of any stray drops. The last thing was his earrings that hung one the right but were studded on the left. He liked the look to be honest, might call it a kpop thing he’s adopted too. Snort.

Ah, oven alarm below had him bouncing in socks to head downstairs and slip on black slippers. No need for fancy boots indoors! To then finish prepping the plates. Bowls were filled with pepper soup, equal goat meat inside each bowl, than covered in the spiced soup with yam chunks. A side dish of dodo - basically deep fried plantain slices that were delicious with pepper soup because of the contrast in flavours! Fries chicken thighs on the bone, on plates with a heart scoop of jollof rice. And Osakwe couldn’t help the side dish of pounded yam… Traditional Nigerian dishes he was taught in a school project, that’s stuck with him through life - after all, it was the first time his nationality was given a thriving reminder.

Setting the table up with each item, he made sure to place a bucket of iced wine and water besides the table, to finally nod his head. Nailed it and just in time! The door rang, and heck, if he didn’t run over, with hands patting down his hair, hands on tea towel that was thrown into the coat cupboard and his lips pulled into the biggest of smiles. Damn, his heart was going crazy, but it was meant too.

Door was reached, and pulled open to greet Cairo with his smile and the heavenly smell of dinner wafting from the kitchen. “Hey, Caicai. Happy Valentines.” Though his heart and mind were racing, his words, fell like they were meant to be whispered to ones ear… He couldn’t help how much in love he was in front of the other now. “Come on in. Hope your hungry.” Form stepped back and door was closed, before he offered to take the others coat and lean up to peck the others cheek, then lips, lips again and again to pull himself back with a breathless giggle. “Come on, I’m going to spoil you all evening… okay?”
