  Graduation morning.  The long awaited day had finally dawn on us. This was also the beginning of our separation.

"God I'll miss you guys. " I sighed.

"You have no idea how much I'll miss you." Kim said bursting into tears again. She smiled each time she thought about us graduating, then ended in tears when she thought of us going our separate ways. It's really emotional you know- being with people for years, watching each other struggle our failures are successes- we were there for each other through it all. We were practically like family to each other throughout the 4years of college. And now you have to get separated. Cruel world- kids,adulthood and growing up is such a scam. Please don't wish to grow fast, you'll regret it.

"This house holds so many memories. When we first met." Toni  said looking to the ceiling.

"Our first argument." I said.

"Damn Aisha can hold onto a grudge. We ignored each other for 3days and gave up but she was still pissed after 10days."Toni said.

"Guys I said I was sorry. You know I get stone cold when I'm pissed." I snickered.

"Just that? You had thick ice walls around you like an impenetrable fortress. The glare you gave me when I tried approaching you that day. Jesus." Kim shuddered.

"Yea well thank God we didn't have that anymore." I said

"Kim's clothing always lying somewhere when Jeremy comes. " Toni said.

"Jules dropping the L bomb on you on the couch. I was like..." Kim said wide eyed. "Wow! I mean just dropping it so randomly, in the middle of a movie."

"I guess we were all genuinely surprised that day. " Toni replied with a blush at the memory and we laughed.

"Oh and Aisha's first kiss." Kim said.

"Really? It was here? When? And where was I?" Toni asked confused.

"Not in literally.  They were outside and I took a peek through the peephole. You were out that week."
Kim replied.

"Well technically,  it wasn't the first." I replied shyly, looking at my fingers in my lap.

"So you had been hiding this from us. You sneaky girl." Kim teased.

"No. It was that day but, it was at the venue at which we were." I replied blushing profusely. I'm sure I would look like a tomato is I was light skinned.

"PDA... I never knew you had that in you." Kim replied with a lewd smile as her phone chimmed in immediately.  "Hey love... ok will be down in a few. It's J-my. He's waiting for us down."she told us dropping the call. He was to drop us at school for the ceremony. We had planned on something joined for  us to three cut the expenses- just family and a couple of friends.

                 ****************

Graduation ceremonies are blissful but God damn long. Between every school official that wants to put in a word or two which end up in speeches and students called up to give long ass speeches and giving the diplome to the thousands present was really work. But gratefully it was all over. After taking a dozen of pictures, we could finally move to our arranged venue.  We had decided on making reservations at the coffee shop at which we worked plus the manager is so sweet- he gave us an employee reduction on the price. The place was packed full with our family, friends and a couple of acquaintances. Michael had proposed doing at their house but I wanted something of my own plus we had already arranged for the venue long ago. Toni Kim and I hit our glasses to call on everyone's attention.

"We welcome you all to this little get together.  We acknowledge the Aliyu and Pettigrew family who have traveled from so far to join us today." Toni begun.

"Thank you all for being here, to celebrate this milestone in our lives. This is one of the big steps we've made towards our careers." I continued.

"So we give a toast. To God for guiding us through this journey, and for all of us to be seated here celebrating this victory.  To more blessings. " kim said.

"To more blessings. "Everyone cheered raising their glasses.

I was glad my parents were smiling and happy for today though I doubt they have forgotten about the incident last week.

Moved to take a seat by Michael and noticed my father was watching. I rolled my eyes. What am I five? I've not done anything since that unfaithful day thanks to them.  I hope it doesn't affect our relationship.  Sure we haven't been seeing each other as often as we usually did but we did call and text each other-  when he's not busy that is.

"Hey." I said with a smile.

"Hey." He said glancing at me briefly before looking away.

What the hell is that? No kiss? no hug? No I miss you?

I frowned looking in my father's direction.  He was now engrossed in his discussion with Kim's father. I moved closer to him.

"Do we have a problem? "I asked.

He pursed his lips. "No." He replied curtly.

"Obviously that's a yes. So what is it?" I persisted.

"Nothing. " he insisted.

"Then why are you upset? You've been acting weird since my parents came. Did I do something wrong?  Is it them that got you so unhinged?" I quired

Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair. God how I missed the silky feeling of his hair between my fingers. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it before a word could come out.

"Please." I pleaded touching his arm, trying to sooth him. "Tell me. I don't like us being like this. " 

"Why didn't you inform your parents about us? About me?" He asked.  I scoffed.

Of course that's what it's all about.

"Wasn't I good enough to present to them? Or to even make mention of me? " he asked in despair.

"Of course not.  You're perfect and my parents are just the way they're.  I can't help it. You saw how they reacted knowing we were together.  Imagine they knew before coming-  they'd drive up apart before arriving here." I explained.

"I had it hard on my side too. Do you know how hard it was get my parents to accept that I love you?" He retorted.

"Well your parents gave in and understood didn't they? " I contended. "You think my parents would do so same that easily? Black parents are staunch about their practices and beliefs so give them some time to process it." I pleaded.

"What about all what you have back home? Your studies were the only thing keeping you here. What if your father is right?" He countered.

"So what? We break up because my student visa expires soon or my father finds my attraction to you odd? We're in this together ok? We'll get past all of this. I'm sorry I never told them about you. I was just worried about how they would react. I do love you baby-  please let's not do this again... Please forgive me." I said with a pout giving him my best puppy eyes.

"Ugh.. don't do that."he groaned. " You know I can't resist kissing you when you do that." He mourned.

"I'm not complaining.  In fact, I actually miss those. My lips have been having wet dreams about yours." I said with a lascivious smile.

"The ability you have to make every vulgar word sound so perfect on your lips..." he said, his thumb, rubbing my lower lip "....still amaze me."

"My little secret." I replied with a shrug. And gave him that lewd smile while staring deep into his eyes.

"Oh I've warned you about that look. You know what it does to me. I won't be responsible for the consequences." He warned.

"But that may knock off some points on your score Mr Donovan.  Be watchful of my parents. " I said as we glanced at them and met my father's glare.

"I guess that's a no to the kiss then." He said referring to my father's angry face.

"Never mind.  He's just grumpy you took his little daughter's innocence. " I said with an eye roll.

"But we haven't had sex- much to my displeasure though." He exclaimed.

"Yea but just let him digest the fact that he saw our tongues deep down each other's throat." I replied.

"God! I miss you so fucking much." He cried holding onto my waist. " You're to be in my lap, no distance between us. You look like a goddess in this dress. It should be a criminal act to have such a gorgeous form as yours. I could practically have you for desert." He said licking his lips as he blatantly ogled me.

"Can i? Say yes, please." He pleaded giving me his award wining smile.

"As tempting as that sounds, we'll have to do with just this." I said kissing his cheek and he pucked his lower lip in defeat.  I giggled at his act. He could be such a baby at times.








Damn guys we getting to the end of their love story.
