Weather for two

Morolake stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a small porcelain mug in her hands as she watched the heavy rainfall from the dark clouds.

She raised the mug to her face, inhaling the scent of the hot cocoa, letting out a sigh of contentment,  before taking a sip. She watched as the lightning flashed through the sky before a loud thunder rumbled.

She let out another sigh. There was just something oddly comforting about the weather. Maybe it was because she just spent some time with Him. She could still feel His calming presence in that room.

The familiar ringtone of her phone, 'Jireh', boomed across the room. She walked briskly to it, dropping her mug on the table. 

"Oh!" Morolake facepalmed herself, as she realized that she forgot to switch off her mobile data. It was an incoming video from the group chat, that just consisted of her and her closest friends, Lydia and Progress.

She sat on the small cushion beside the table before accepting the call.

"Finally!" Lydia exclaimed, as she adjusted her phone, so they could have a better view of her face.

"Where have you been, Madam?" Progress questioned, before stuffing her mouth with bread. Morolake grimaced at her.

"The food is not running away," Morolake stated, as Progress just rolled her eyes subtly at her, "And I forgot my data was on. I was with somebody." She said and both of them stopped what they were doing, suddenly interested in what she said.

"Did I hear you were with somebody?" Lydia raised her left brow, eyeing Morolake like an unknown specimen.

"Who?" Progress asked, "Is it, Manny or Dee?" She rambled and Morolake couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"So it's one of them!" Lydia gasped before both of them let out a dramatic squeal.

"Lydia, let us not forget how the weather is so freaking perfect for such moment," Progress cooed, "Morola, start giving us details," She demanded, moving her face closer to the phone screen.

"God! You people are just something else," Morolake stated and laughed, "And it's not Manny or Dee."

"Jesus! There is another man wooing you again!" Lydia yelled, and She winced, placing her palm on her ear.

"God when?" Progress cried dramatically, before stuffing another loaf of bread into her mouth.

"Nawa o! Since you people won't let me talk, you can keep assuming."

"Haaa! Sorry." Lydia said, her dark brown orbs shining with curiosity.

"Pwoceed," Progress uttered, with the bread still in her mouth.

"Anyways, I have known Him for like two years now, but all those times we were not close. Now, there is just something different about our relationship," Morolake stated, mustering a huge smile that immediately lit up her face.

"Awwww!" Progress and Lydia said in sync, and Morolake giggled.

"He is like the best thing that happened to me. Sometimes, I just feel so down and when I call him, he always finds a way to comfort me. Like it's so..." Morolake couldn't even describe how she felt whenever He was with her. Words weren't enough.

"Omo! This is love o!" Lydia declared, placing her hands on her chest with a look of awe etched on her face.

Progress nodded in agreement, "Seriously, see the way she was smiling throughout." Morolake shook her head at them, with that same smile still on her face.

"Anyways, as I said earlier, it's not Manny or Dee. He is not even human." Morolake dropped the bomb, and the two girls stared at her with eyes wide and intent, unblinking as they searched Morolake's face for any sign of joke.

"Ahan! What's doing you now?"

"Is this playing?"

She laughed, with an inexplicable joy shining through her starry orbs. "I'm serious and He is here with me. The third person in the Trinity. The Holy Spirit."
