The Lion and the Beauty


Beauty and the Lion
Akin a  black British  cockney of  West African and Caribbean descent  has just arrived as the newest  resident in a high brow North London neighbourhood from another east London borough  , this young upcoming chap had a wonderful blend of inner beauty and very good looks, he was the kind of guy who caught the attention of every other young lass who had a taste for someone with  ,high personal standards , good morals and brains  , Akin was tall , brown skinned and   very athletic , he also  had  bright brown piercing and sexy eyes that could always communicate with the opposite sex in all manners of flirtation that were almost suggestive, Tola  who happened to be Akins Father started out very early  as fresh resident to the UK from the West African coast at the age of sixteen and had to work his way up to get through to a top UK University with three honour degrees in psychology , Law and Business management to his credit .Tola also won sports laurels in the Olympics to his credit too because he was a world class athlete. Tola was in a class of his own because he never followed the crowd; Tola had the crowd follow him.  Akin was relatively outspoken and never fell short of company as a result he always had somewhere to go and someone to help, Akin was a people person and cared about others in ways that were non-intrusive, he also had a unique sense of humour .In  the course of time  Akin was taken on organised excursion trips to hospital  labour wards by his mother to help him understand why there was much more to a relationship than the tales of instant gratification, the sights of child birth were so graphic that Akin became pretty traumatized and moved to tears each time he saw the expectant mothers deliver children in the London University Teaching Hospital Labour ward. Akins father also organised trips for Akin to visit the Holloway prisons and other drug addiction rehabilitation centres so that he may witness where law breakers end up and also drug abuse victims, it was not as if Akin was a bad child but there were certain realities he could only understand if he witnessed them, these spirited excursions were simply there to put a deterrent against any probable unbecoming behaviour he may be tempted to pick up as a result of getting to work with the wrong kind of people.

After the course  of Akins adolescent years, Akin decided to do a gap year and travel across to the US and work for a charity prior to going to the University, it was in the course of this trip he went to LA(West of the USA) to work for a charity that supports children with disabilities through sports participation. Akins support role was to coach these children in various sporting activities, Akin worked, as a coach for these children; he was assigned an assistant by the name Melanie who happened to be a Caucasian American girl who was his exact age from Ohio. Melanie was vertically challenged but was very good looking she was also reserved, cool calm and calculated and was abit of a country girl.

Akin had challenges working with Melanie as they deferred on so many things with spirited debates and endless arguments every other day, Akin had a sense of humour Melanie almost never understood. The primary advantage Akin had was that he was a very good communicator and always read in between the lines in his dealings with Melanie, Akin was able to handle all Melanie’s rough edges and excesses in ways that had her bewildered. After each days task both parties went separate ways and kept their dealing professional. After one year Akins primary assignment in LA(West of the USA) was over and only gifts were exchanged between Akin and Melanie, no contact details were exchanged between the two parties. Akin came back to the UK and started his degree major in Law at the University college London with no plans to keep in contact with Melanie, but in the course of Akins second year in the University college London, an exchange student by the name Melanie came over to his school from the University of California Berkeley ,  the exchange student stumbled into Akin by chance ,Akin then beckoned to her with a wave from a distance and sought Melanie’s consent for a date at the school cafeteria ,Both Akin and Melanie met at the cafeteria on campus and have since between together as  Lion and  beauty two months after they met in the Cafeteria. Both parties did an upgrade of their successful relationship and are on the verge of proceeding to the next level together in a very special fairy tale.
