Waking up next to Senya feels like home. I can’t describe what went down between us last night. The sex was on a different level—a level he has never reached with me before. We became one person. He even spoke to me in our native tongue. He never does that.

Senya owned me and I owned him. Is this marriage? Because if it is, I can definitely get used to this. Well, at least the nights; I don’t know what to expect now that the sun has risen.

I still don’t know what’s going on between my family and the Apeagyeis. I know Senya knows more than he is telling me. I also know he will keep me in need-to-know status for as long as he thinks I’m in danger. I trust him, but I am scared his bravado will get in the way of him recognizing when he is in over his head. He thinks he can save me from anything and everything. He imagines himself as some West African superhero who is misunderstood by everyone but his woman. I guess that’s me, his woman.

I do understand him. I understand what it's like to feel at once like you are not a part of your family, but also the only one capable of saving and protecting them. I know what it feels like to be a part of family secrets and then one day become the family secret yourself. I also know what it feels like to place unreasonably high expectations upon yourself because people underestimate you. I understand what motivates him and what drives him. I also know that I am his kryptonite.

I look over at his big strong body while he snores softly into his pillow. He’s a stomach sleeper. He also likes to cuddle up and hold me close at night. I don’t want to ruin this. But I just don’t see how I can avoid it. This morning, I feel like I’m floating on air, but I know that one day that can change. One day I may wake up and feel trapped. I may find all of his protective dictates stifling. And I may break his heart in an attempt to break out of the cage. Marriage is nothing but ownership. It’s not the steamy sex we had last night; it’s a lifelong commitment. And I’m not interested in that at all, because the woman always seems to get the short end of the stick.

My mother did. Her entire life was dedicated to my father and his needs. Yes, he protected her and kept her in the finest cars and clothes. Even though she lived in a majestic house, she was trapped. My mother was an amazing artist, but she never got a chance to show it. My father treated it as a throwaway hobby.

One time, the former Asantehene, Kofi’s father, came to our home and saw one of my mother’s paintings. He asked if he could have one commissioned for the Manhyia Palace in Accra. I’ll never forget what my father said.
