Harry made a large photo frame that had Enomfon and Didi on it. He hung it gently on the wall and admired it for a while.
Enomfon came out from the room, wearing a filmy dressing gown over her night gown. She was amazed when she saw the picture on the wall.
"This is beautiful. You enlarged the picture I sent to you when you were in Lagos." She said, as he walked towards him.
"I want us to marry this year. Before Didi's second birthday." He said huskily.
"Are you proposing? where is your ring?" She asked tenderly. He laced his fingers through hers.
"There are things I wanna get over first. You know America more than I do, you schooled there. I want us to move down there after we are married. Being here, brings back the sad memory of the past."
She puts a finger on his lips.
"It's okay. Let's not talk about it. We have to pay your mom a visit. Get her flowers, and maybe sit there for a while." She said. Harry's chest rose and fell, and he wondered if she knew how beautiful she was to him at that moment.
He almost could see her heart through her eyes, and was touched by the concern for his late mother."
"I am saving up some money, I want to build a church. I am going demolish my parents old house and build a church on the space."
"Your mother is going to be proud."
He nodded sadly.
"She would have stayed a bit longer. At least watch Didi grow. She would have stayed to see the woman who came to my life and changed it. You're my good luck charm, I am crazy in love with you." He began to kiss her succulent pink lips.
He moved his hand down and touched her intimately. He drew in a quick breath when she arched against his hand, inviting him to do more. "Where is Didi?" He asked in soft whispers.
"Asleep." She whispered.
He exhaled, feeling his heartbeat settle into a natural rhythm.
She opened to him, her arms going around his neck, touching her lips to his throat. Then he suddenly paused and then said, "I am officially divorcing Atim next weekend.
I spoke with a lawyer. I didn't wanna waste my time trying to force her to come get a divorce, which I know she might not want to.
She would want to frustrate me, and I don't want that. I want to marry as soon as possible. I wanna get you pregnant." He whispered against her ears, she giggled and held his hands tight.
"How are you gonna divorce her without her being there?"
"I have gotten someone. She said she is going to do it, on the condition that I am going to marry her."
Enomfon chuckled. " She must be a joker."
"A serious joker." They both laughed out loud. His laughter was deep and sexual. "I told Ani about us." Enomfon said softy.
"Who is Anni?"
"My brother. He was excited but he had this feeling that if my mom was going to agree or something."
"She must agree...she has no choice."He drew her back into his arms, holding her tightly.
"There is so much about you that makes me feel like you were created for me alone. We didn't know each other so well when I gave you my daughter and gave you my heart. Although my heart spoke to yours long before you answered."
The passion that had flared between them was just below the surface and it would take only a touch of his hands to bring it back into flames.
