A Love Story - Paul Shola Oguntade @paul_shola

It was a day in the month of August 2013 at that cafΓ©. I remember I was sitting down in a corner typing the words that comprised my third book when you walked in.

As I write this post I can still recall how fast my heart beat seeing you in that blue Jean and T-shirt. Immediately the air conditioning system in the room was not enough; I began to sweat. l tried to type more words; my fingers betrayed me there and there.

So I stood up and decided to follow my heart beat... I remember saying something that sounded like "Hello..." not the Adele's Hello though... 😊

Somehow we exchanged pleasantries and as a rule I INTENTIONALLY didn't go straight to the point or even ask for your number.

We parted as I prayed to the Lord for a replay of that day...

That week Funmi came to visit me, and somehow I felt I should see her off to her house and at least have a break off my regular boring routine that entails me staying indoors to write more chapters of my book. To my surprise you were her roommate...

Jeezz you again... I felt the same heart beat... Immediately I knew this was the Lord saying "Paul, Point and Kill", but unlike Peter in the Bible I didn't argue, I obey the call of God upon my life.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So I told Funmi while she saw me off;

"Hey... I like what I saw, so I would use you as an excuse to always visit... But between you and I, this is my goal"

So that was how I became an Evangelist; I had only ONE SOUL to win for the Lord, it was you.

February 14, 2014  I decided to  declare my mission statement. I spent hours preparing like I had an interview with God. I remember coming back from a trip that day, I was on the high way and the vehicle was running as fast as it could with all windows wide opened. Baby, that didn't stop me from sweating profusely like a Christmas goat. Concerned passengers were like "bros, why you dey sweat." I lied, I said maybe it's because I'm wearing a black top and sitting in the middle.

Long story short, I got to your place that day and popped the question with the very best words I could craft, I didn't even bother beating around the bush, I went straight to the point...

Baby you broke my heart when you said NO... Jeezzzz... I died there on the spot...

But as usual, things like that have over time being my motivation. So I kept waiting while we remained "friends."

Fast forward somewhere in the early months of 2015 I finally got a GREEN LIGHT after several BLOOD RED - Red Lights...  😊😊😊😊

Okay, i think I've said so much here... let me stop before I turn to a story teller like Enny Cole or Tobi. πŸ˜œπŸ˜œπŸ˜›πŸ˜›

So as it is said;

"Where your heart is, there and there lies your treasure"

With you is where my heart lies and that simultaneously makes you my precious Jewel.

I LOVE you LA. 😘😘😘

Happy Birthday LA,
You're the best.

Can we cut the cake now please !!!
