FLAWS AND DENTS (Fiction)

FLAWS AND DENTS

"Will you marry me? " he asked,  on a bent knee, a wide grin spread across his mouth.

Fiona stopped sipping her margarita, her hand stuck on her straw as I gaze at him in shock.

He gazed back at her , waiting earnestly for her response.

She bent her head as tears welled up in her eyes. One, two they dropped and before she knew it,  the floodgates opened. Her shoulders shook as the tears came cascading down her face.

He quickly stood from where he knelt and rushed to her side.

"Honey,  why the tears?  Talk to me,  why are you crying?  You know you can talk to me about anything?  What did I do wrong? " He begged as he held her face and tried to wipe her face with his handkerchief.

"Baby.... " She started as another bout of tears took over her.

"Honey,  these tears are killing me.  I can't stand seeing you like this anymore. Please talk to me,  I beg of you. "

She tried to steady her whirling emotions as she looked him in the eyes.

"Baby,  I don't think I am the girl for you.  I am not perfect. I am not beautiful. I have got scars all over.  I don't fit your kind of lady. I am a bad cook,  you can testify to that.  I am a terrible housekeeper. I am not good at Washing and all these house chores stuff. I can't be the perfect wife for you....." she went on and on till he cut her short with a raise of his hand.

He looked at her wet face and willed some kind of magic would help her see herself the way he saw her.

"And you think I care for all these excuses of yours?  You think I don't know you cook salt spiced with food? Or that I notice that you are not the Most beautiful girl in the world? "

She bent her head in shame as he started his rant,  with his brows knitted in what she knows as anger.

"I know you are not perfect.  I know all about your flaws and all but have you thought of the good things about you?  Have you thought that maybe I don't care for the flaws but how amazing you're as a human?"

He continued looking deep into her eyes,  his eyes misty with tears threatening to drop.

"I know all you're not but I am deciding to love you and marry for all you're baby.  I am willing to take this walk with you.  I am willing to live the rest of my life teasing you about your salty and undone meals.  I don't care about the housechores, I don't want a maid but a wife.  A partner.  A friend. It's not like you're not trying to learn these things.  That's why I won't give up on you.  I will stand by you till you become the woman YOU want to be. I love you so much Fiona and I am asking for the last time,  WILL YOU MARRY ME,  MISS FLAWS AND DENTS? "

She rushed from her seat and ran to where he stood,  taking his lips with hers and she gifted his lips with warm kisses.  He held on to her and  kissed her fiercely.

Fiona knew this is it.
This is her man.
This is home.
Her heart was at peace.

Jason held her like his life depended on it.
Of course it does.
His life is incomplete with her in it.

They held on to each other for a minute before Jason lifted his head and looked into her teary eyes.

"What's it gonna be missus?  Are you for me or against me?  Would you do me the honor of being my wife?"

"Most definitely Yes.  I'd love to spend forever with you Jason. "

"Any Office Holder Coming Into Office To Loot Money is Mad" - VP Osinbajo

Vice President President Yemi Osinbajo says that it is madness for people in positions like President Buhari and himself to come into office and look for money to loot. A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people. I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country , there is nothing he / she is looking for anymor...

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
