COLLOQUY 

How can one person inspire life so? Make life so interesting and fascinating. How can she be soft and sweet, accommodating and loving. He poundered.

This lady is everything Brian desires and more. She's captivating and magical. He can't seem to wrap his head around these facts. Ariana is simply amazing.  He kept his wonderful thoughts wordless and began looking at Mr Anderson who seemed taken by the movie he was seeing. He would sip his wine from time to time and continue seeing the movie, even though he stole few glances from time to time,  he was never bothered about leaving, he was home.

Brian could not help but wonder at such kindness exuding from Ariana, for bringing strangers (himself and Mr Anderson)  to her home and letting them feel at home and have fun, do whatever they wish to. Not many people would do such.

He appreciated Ariana in his mind and thanked God in his mind also for bringing Ariana his way. She belong to the five-star class, in all of the areas of life.

Alex brought in another wine as the one they were having was finished.  And she opened it and kept it on the table before them (Brian and Ariana)  and they continue to quaff.

It was 3pm now and no one seem to want to leave. Remember,  Brian had said he would take Ariana out and allow her to pay for their fair wherever they went, and that's the reason Mr Anderson was still around them (so they thought. But little did they know he had other plans), but Brian doesnt know how to leave again, he felt charmed by her and all she represents.  

At this point, they were at the third bottle. Alex and Mr Anderson already stopped at the second bottle because they could no longer continue. Instead, they decided to see another movie as the one they were seeing initially ended. But Brian and Ariana continued, and was more interested in what the other has to say. Ariana wanted to know more about Brian, and him, her.

So, by the reason of colloquy, they got closer and Ariana started the question and answer sessions. He said; "ask me anything you'd want to know and I'll tell you" then Ariana ceased the opportunity and asked, "are you born again?" (It was obvious that he was born again,  but she wanted to throw him off balance a bit and indeed, she did).  Brian was perplexed and there was some show of confusion on his face. That wasn't the kind of question Brian expected but of cause, he had to answer her. And he said... "yes, I am", then she said; "good, good". 

She went further to ask where he was from, his family history, the kind of life he wants for himself, what intrigues him, his fears, ambition... etc.

And he answered all her questions one by one. He told her he was from  Umuahia, somewhere in Nigeria and he was the only son of the mother....

 "My mom and dad separated a long time ago and they were never married, they were friends and then she got pregnant after they got extremely close and she had me" he told Ariana. (Ariana blinked four times as though she was trying to get rid of something from her eye, because what a heck! Thats a similar story she said). He continued..., after my mom had me, dad got married to another woman, and mom had to be there to take care of me ever since...." He paused for awhile and continued...

"I want a peaceful life Ariana,  the type I see with you is the one I jones for. No troubles,  no bowwow,  no uncertainties, no disappointments... (I hope), Is all I want. I want you Ariana,  and no one else". He took her hands and starts to move his hands all around her hands, from her nails to her elbow and back, none stop, saying those words of wanting to be with her forever. 

Ariana was enjoying the feeling again. This time, the feeling was intriguing because the feeling was accompanied with some wine and hours spent with him, and that experience combined, made it worthwhile.  

At this point, everything he was saying was making so much sense to her, he could hear him clearly and she didn't want him to stop caressing her hands or talking to her the way he was talking, and he did not stop, instead, he went further...
