A Thorn In The Flesh by OT2024: 8:06pm On May 15 |
A Thorn in the Flesh (c) 2024 O. Toyin Ayo is a jolly good fellow. Handsome and rich, he has a lot to indulge in. One of them is his lust for the flesh, which is a thorn in his flesh. What brought Ayo to the hospital started as a minor stomach ache, before it degenerated into a critical case. Nurses and some auxiliary nurses on duty at the wee hour of the night rushed to his side, their concerned eyes scanning his pale, sweat-drenched face. They guided him to a nearby examination room, where he collapsed onto a bed, feeling a mix of relief and fear wash over him. Well, it was good that he looked like someone who could afford whatever bill they presented to him. The medical staff worked diligently, conducting tests and asking him questions, trying to piece together the puzzle of what had transpired. Time seemed to stretch into an agonizing eternity as they monitored his vital signs and administered the necessary treatment. As the medication began to take effect, the dizziness slowly started to subside. A sense of gratitude washed over him as he realized that he had made it in time, that he had sought help before things could take a turn for the worse. It was a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of acting swiftly in moments of crisis. As he lay there, recovering in that sterile hospital room, he couldn't help but reflect on the events of the night. Just hours ago, he was celebrating, surrounded by friends and bathed in the joy of success. And now, he found himself locked in a battle for his own well-being. It was a humbling experience, a stark reminder that life is unpredictable and that they must cherish every moment, for it can change in an instant. As he closed his eyes, gratitude and a renewed sense of appreciation for his friends and loved ones filled his heart. Their support and love had been vital in getting him through this ordeal.

Their support and love had been vital in getting him through this ordeal. As the light of a new day began to filter in through the thin curtains, he was filled with a sense of gratitude and determination. He knew that he had been given a second chance, a reminder to never take life for granted. And with that, he vowed to treasure every moment, to live fully and embrace each new day as a gift, never forgetting the fragility and the resilience within them all. The doctor that attended to him and really did a professional job was by the name Rose Ogah. Now that he was getting back to himself, he could appreciate what she had done all along. As he lay on the hospital bed, feeling weak and helpless, she walked into the room with an air of confidence and a warm smile that instantly put him at ease. Dr. Rose Ogah was a brilliant woman, known for her expertise and dedication to her patients. Her presence commanded respect, and her gentle demeanor made it easy to trust her. As she approached his bedside, her eyes met his, and he couldn't help but notice the genuine concern etched on her face. Over the course of his treatment, Dr. Ogah became a constant presence in his life. She made sure he was comfortable, explained each step of the process with patience, and took the time to answer all of his questions. Her professionalism was admirable, but there was something more that drew him to her - an undeniable chemistry that seemed to exist between us. As he recovered, they began to have more conversations outside of the usual doctor-patient interactions. They discovered shared interests, laughed at each other's jokes, and slowly revealed pieces of their lives beyond the hospital walls. Their conversations became a respite from the harsh reality of illness and a source of comfort in each other's company. It was in the course of these conversations when he realized that the feelings he had for Dr. Ogah ran deeper than just admiration for her medical expertise. Her kindness, intelligence, and compassionate nature had captured his heart. He found himself eagerly looking forward to his appointments, hoping for just a few precious moments in her presence. Inevitably, their conversations began to include hints of flirtation and playful banter. "You seem to combine beauty with brains," he teased her. "You think so?" He chuckled. "I not only think so, I believe so." She didn't say anything to that. They both felt the spark growing between them, but they were hesitant to cross any professional boundaries. They knew that pursuing a romance would be a delicate matter that required careful consideration. 2 Likes |

She didn't say anything to that. They both felt the spark growing between them, but they were hesitant to cross any professional boundaries. They knew that pursuing a romance would be a delicate matter that required careful consideration. After leaving the hospital, Ayo kept Rose on his mind. One evening, as they stood in the hallway outside his hospital room, the air filled with a palpable tension. Dr. Ogah leaned in closer, her eyes locked with his, and she softly confessed her own feelings towards him. His heart raced, and his mind swirled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. They both understood the risks involved, but sometimes, matters of the heart cannot be ignored. From that moment, their relationship blossomed into something beautiful. They navigated the complexities of balancing their personal and professional lives, always mindful of the boundaries they needed to maintain in the hospital setting. Their love grew stronger with each passing day, fueled by genuine care, respect, and shared experiences. Within a couple of months, on, Dr. Ogah and he built a life together filled with love, adventure, and a deep understanding of one another. Their journey, rooted in a hospital room, had brought them to a place of healing, not just physically but emotionally as well. Looking back on that fateful day at the hospital, he was grateful for the illness that brought them together. Dr. Rose Ogah, his confidante, his partner, and now the love of his life, had reminded him of the unexpected beauty that can emerge from life's most challenging moments. Their interactions had evolved from purely medical check-ups to heartfelt conversations, and he couldn't deny the growing connection between us. It was during one of their appointments that he decided to take a leap of faith. |

It was during one of their appointments that he decided to take a leap of faith. Over the time, they exchanged messages and phone calls, their conversations ranging from medical discussions to their favorite books and movies. It became an anticipated part of his day, talking to Dr. Ogah and sharing snippets of his life with her. On the day of their first lunch, he arrived at the restaurant slightly early, his heart pounding with excitement and nerves. When Dr. Ogah walked through the doors, her radiant smile reached her eyes, and any jitters he had instantly disappeared. They greeted each other with a warm hug, basking in the joy of finally being in each other's presence outside the confines of the hospital. "I'm glad that you are here," he said. She smiled and winked at him. Over a delicious meal and the clinking of glasses, their conversation flowed effortlessly. They discovered shared interests, laughed at each other's jokes, and there was an undeniable chemistry between us. It felt like the world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them in their own little bubble. As their lunch came to an end, they both felt a reluctance to part ways. It was as if something magical had transpired between them, and they didn't want it to end. They made plans to see each other again, eager to deepen their connection beyond the hospital walls. And so, their relationship continued to develop from that fateful lunch. They explored new restaurants, went on long walks in the park, and shared intimate moments that brought them closer together. It was a love that grew organically, built on a foundation of friendship and a genuine understanding of one another. As they allowed their bond to flourish, they navigated the complexities of intertwining their personal and professional lives. They were always mindful of the boundaries necessary in a doctor-patient relationship, but also recognized the importance of nurturing their connection outside of that realm. Dr. Rose Ogah and he created a beautiful relationship that surpassed their initial expectations. Each day, he seemed to relish the leap of faith he took in asking for her friendship and the coming together that sparked their love story. Together, they write a tale of love, understanding, and unwavering support, cherishing every moment they shared. But someone was not happy with the relationship between Ayo and Rose. That was Rita, his PA. Rita was filled with resentment. How could Ayo easily fall for her? Was it because she was a doctor? Mentally, Rita has compared herself to Rose. She felt she was more beautiful and attractive than the later. What then did Ayo want in her? Could Rose be giving him something that she, Rita, was not giving him? One cool afternoon in the office, when the bustling hours of the club was yet to start, Rita was in Ayo's office. "There's something I've been meaning to show you," she said. |

One cool afternoon in the office, when the bustling hours of the club was yet to start, Rita was in Ayo's office. "There's something I've been meaning to show you," she said. He looked up from his desk. "And what could that be?" Rita smiled coquettishly at him. Her hands went to her blouse and she started unbottoning it. It was reminiscent of the day he had asked her to remove her top. She removed the blouse, baring her bust. "I just bought this bra," she said. "Does it fit me?" She has her hands at akimbo now. Ayo stared intently at her. The white bra she was wearing certainly looked new. It looked well designed and fitted her bust perfectly. There was no doubt that it was attractive and sexy. He smiled at her. "You are alluring, He must say." "Meaning?" "Meaning you are very sexy. Damn it, come over baby. He can't wait to get my hands and my lips on your boobs." At that moment, Ayo totally forgot about Rose, or any other lady. There was something urgent that he must satisfy. * *. *. In Rose's apartment, her good friend, Ayo was around. Rose and Ayo had been good friends. The sun spilled warm rays through the window, casting an amber glow on the two women sitting in the cozy cafe. Rose's face beamed with joy as she leaned forward, eagerly starting her narration. "Oh, Roli, you won't believe it! I've met someone who has completely swept me off my feet!" Her voice was filled with a mix of disbelief and awe. |

"Oh, Roli, you won't believe it! I've met someone who has completely swept me off my feet!" Her voice was filled with a mix of disbelief and awe. Ayo leaned in, wearing an eager smile, eyes sparkling with anticipation. She knew there was something special brewing just by observing Rose's radiant glow. "Tell me every little thing, Rose! He can't wait to hear all about this Ayo." Rose couldn't help but giggle in pure delight as she began to spill the details. "Well, Roli, it all started a few weeks ago when our paths serendipitously crossed at a mutual friend's birthday party. Ayo had this captivating aura around him, an irresistible charm that immediately caught my attention." She waved her hand to emphasize her words, her voice sparkling with enthusiasm. "From the very first conversation, Roli, we just clicked! It felt like we had known each other for years. We laughed, we shared stories, and we discovered how similar our interests and passions were." Roli's eyes widened, drinking in every word that escaped Rose's lips. "That's incredible, Rose! It sounds like an instant connection." "It truly was," Rose replied, her voice filled with excitement. "We spent hours lost in conversation, completely oblivious to the world around us. Ayo has this way of making you feel like the most important person in the room." As Rose continued her tale, she delved into the countless adventures and shared experiences she had with Ayo. From romantic dinners at cozy restaurants to spontaneous road trips along winding country roads, their whirlwind romance led them on countless exhilarating journeys. "He is incredibly thoughtful, Roli," Rose gushed. "Ayo surprises me with the most thoughtful gestures, ones that show how well he understands who I am. One time, he planned a surprise picnic in my favorite park, complete with my favorite snacks and a playlist of all the songs he loves. It was utterly magical." |

One time, he planned a surprise picnic in my favorite park, complete with my favorite snacks and a playlist of all the songs He love. It was utterly magical." Roli's exhilarated smile mirrored Rose's infectious happiness. "It sounds like he really sees you, Rose. To have someone who listens and understands is incredibly special." Rose nodded, her voice growing softer as she spoke. "Indeed, Roli. But it's not only the grand gestures that make him amazing. Ayo also pays attention to the smallest of details. He remembers every little thing He mention, from my favorite flowers to my preferred morning coffee order." The conversation between the two friends seemed like a dance of emotions and admiration. Rose's eyes, full of love, sparkled as she painted vivid pictures with her words, illustrating the joy she felt being with Ayo, the laughter they shared, and the deep connection they had built in such a short time. The hours flew by as Rose eagerly shared every single detail she cherished about Ayo with her friend. From his contagious laugh to the kindness he showed to strangers, every aspect of their relationship unfolded in a vivid tapestry. As the afternoon stretched into evening, Rose and Roli's conversation gradually reached its end. Both marveled at the wonders of love and the profound effect it had on their lives. Rose couldn't contain her gratitude for having someone like Ayo enriching her days, and her friend Ayo reveled in sharing the joy of her newfound happiness. With hearts brimming with love and excitement, Rose and Ayo parted ways, promising to meet again soon. Rose's eyes gleamed with unfettered hope and delight as she walked away, her thoughts consumed by the incredible man who had taken her by surprise and filled her world with exhilaration. To prove his love for Rose, Ayo further took her out for shopping. It was a bright day. As the sun gently began to set on that day, Ayo pulled up to Rose's house in his sleek black car. Rose stepped out and walked towards the car, her eyes lighting up as she caught a glimpse of him waiting patiently. She wore a flowy, floral sundress that perfectly complemented her vibrant personality. With a radiant smile, Rose hopped into the passenger seat, feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity. Ayo, with his impeccable taste, had planned a surprise shopping experience for her. As they drove through the city, she noticed his mischievous grin, and her heart skipped a beat. |
Re: A Thorn In The Flesh by OT2024: 4:29am On Jun 01 |
As they drove through the city, she noticed his mischievous grin, and her heart skipped a beat. After a short journey, they arrived at an elegant, boutique store tucked away in a picturesque cobbled street. The shop, adorned with bright colors and alluring scents, felt like a sanctuary of luxury and refinement. Ayo gently took Rose's hand and led her inside. Soon, they found themselves surrounded by exotic treasures from distant lands. Intricately carved wooden sculptures, shimmering silks, and vibrant tapestries caught their attention. The air was infused with an intoxicating blend of fragrances, transporting them to far-off places with each inhale. As they wandered through the aisles, Ayo's eyes glimmered with excitement, his gaze shifting from one extraordinary item to another. Finally, he came across an exquisite necklace, adorned with a rare, iridescent gemstone that seemed to hold the entire universe within it. Its brilliance captivated Rose, leaving her breathless. Sensing her enchantment, Ayo couldn't resist surprising her. He discreetly approached the kind-hearted store owner, a man of the world. A few hushed words were exchanged, and an agreement was reached. A secret smile played at the corners of Ayo's lips. Casually, he guided Rose toward a delicate display of handcrafted, intricately designed jewelry. Among the carefully arranged rings, earrings, and bracelets, the necklace she had admired stood prominently, waiting to be admired once more. With a twinkle in his eyes, Ayo gently picked up the necklace, placed it in a dainty pastel box, and presented it to Rose. "For you," he whispered, overwhelmed by the connection they shared. Rose's eyes widened, as if she embodied both surprise and gratitude at once. Her fingers trembled as she held the box, opening it with bated breath. In that very moment, the magnificent gemstone seemed to radiate light, casting a captivating spell upon her. |

In that very moment, the magnificent gemstone seemed to radiate light, casting a captivating spell upon her. Overwhelmed by the thoughtful gesture, Rose threw herself into Ayo's arms, feeling an immense wave of affection and awe. The boutique shop faded into the background as their joyful laughter echoed through the air, filled with the promise of a connection that was both rare and beautiful. In that little treasure trove of a store, Ayo had not only given Rose an exquisite souvenir but had also gifted her a lifelong memory. And as they left the boutique, entwined fingers and hearts brimming with happiness, they knew this was just the beginning of their extraordinary journey together. * * * This weekend, Rita invited Ayo to her appointment. Her friend, Sola, that she shared the two-bedroom apartment with at Ijaiye, Ogba road has teased that she would like to see the man of the moment in flesh. To welcome the august guest, Rita had prepared sumptuous meal. It was a beautiful warm afternoon when Ayo decided to visit Rita in her cozy apartment. As Ayo went to the first floor of the building, the feeling of warmth welcomed him with their sweet scent. Excitement filled his chest as thoughts of visiting Rita brought a smile to his face. Ayo climbed up the flights of stairs, each step filled with anticipation. Finally, he reached the door of Rita's apartment, and after taking a deep breath, they knocked gently. The door swung open, almost instantly, revealing Sola, Rita's vivacious roommate with a wide grin on her face. "Ayo! It's so good to see you again!" Sola exclaimed, pulling her body into a tight hug. "Rita has been waiting for you all day. Come on in!" "But how do you know me?" Ayo said in surprise. "Rita has said so much about you, and has shown me the selfies she took with you." Once inside, Ayo was instantly engulfed in a whirlwind of colors and sounds that filled the small but cozy apartment. Dainty fairy lights cascaded along the walls, casting a warm and magical glow in the room. The walls were adorned with vibrant paintings, reflecting Rita and Sola's artistic spirits. As Ayo walked further into the living area, he spotted Rita in the corner, engrossed in animated conversation on the phone. Her eyes lit up like stars when she saw Ayo, and she quickly ran over to wrap him in a warm embrace. 1 Like 1 Share |

Her eyes lit up like stars when she saw Ayo, and she quickly ran over to wrap him in a warm embrace. "Ayo! I'm so happy you're here! I'm so happy you really made it here!" Rita exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine excitement. They settled down comfortably on the vibrant, patterned couch, surrounded by piles of books, sketchbooks, and scattered art supplies. Sola joined them, perching herself on the armrest, as conversations flowed effortlessly between the three of them. Laughter echoed through the small apartment as they reminisced about days gone by, sharing stories of adventures and misadventures. The room seemed to come alive with their infectious energy, as their voices filled the space with joy and laughter. Meanwhile, Rita disappeared into the kitchen, the tantalizing aromas wafting through the air. The sound of clinking pots and pans hinted at the magnificent feast she was preparing for their reunion. Ayo's stomach grumbled in anticipation, knowing that Rita's culinary skills were legendary among their friends. As the conversation grew louder and more animated, Rita emerged from the kitchen, carrying a tray laden with mouthwatering dishes. The table was soon covered with an array of colors and flavors - from aromatic curries and sizzling stir-fries to fragrant rice and freshly baked bread. The friends eagerly dug into the sumptuous feast, immersed in appreciative murmurs and exclamations of delight with every bite. As they savored each dish, conversations continued to flow effortlessly, blending flavors of friendship and nostalgia. As the evening drew on, Ayo couldn't help but feel immensely grateful for the warmth and love that filled Rita and Sola's apartment. The animated conversations, the harmonious blending of laughter and stories, and the mouthwatering delicacies prepared with love, created a perfect haven where time seemed to stand still. Rita stood up and held Ayo's hand. "Sorry, Sola, you have to excuse us now. Ayo and i have some personal discussions to make in the bedroom." Sola winked at her and watched her and Ayo walk to Rita's bedroom. Once inside the bedroom, Rita faced him squarely |

Sola winked at her and watched her and Ayo walk to Rita's bedroom. Once inside the bedroom, Rita faced him squarely and said: "Ayo, do you know I have always love you?" Ayo, taken aback by Rita's sudden confession, pondered for a moment before responding. He decided to be tactful. No, he was not going to tell her outright that he had no such feelings as love for her. "Rita, you caught my attention the moment I saw you too," he admitted, his voice filled with a hint of sincerity. "But love is a complex emotion. It takes time for those feelings to fully develop." Rita's eyes grew wider as she eagerly listened to Ayo, hoping for a glimmer of hope in his response. "You mean... there's a chance?" Ayo nodded, his gaze softened. "There's always a chance, Rita. But let's take it slow and get to know each other better. Building a strong foundation is important for any relationship to flourish." A mix of excitement and relief washed over Rita, and a wide smile stretched across her face. "I completely agree, Ayo. Let's take our time and discover all the beautiful aspects that love can offer us." As they continued their conversation, both Ayo and Rita felt a sense of anticipation and amazement. Love was a mysterious journey, and with their newfound understanding, they were ready to embark on it together. But Ayo was just playing along. His mind was set for an entirely different thing. "Come on, Rita, it's time you show me how beautiful you are without those clothes you are putting on." Rita feigned indifference. "Not until you tell me you love me." Ayo grinned and pulled her to himself. At that moment, he was ready to tell her a million times that he loved her, just to get what he wanted. |

Ayo grinned and pulled her to himself. At that moment, he was ready to tell her a million times that he loved her, just to get what he wanted. * * * A week after visiting Rita, Ayo hatched something special for Rose. As the moon hung low in the velvety midnight sky, the city sprawled beneath them lluminated by a tapestry of twinkling lights. The air was crisp, carrying with it a hint of winter's approach, but in his heart, there was nothing but warmth. Tonight was the night Ayo had planned to propose to Rose, the love of his life, and his restless anticipation mingled with excitement, making his heart dance within his chest. They had just returned from a night out, their spirits lightened by laughter and memories shared. Street sounds blended harmoniously with the soft music playing from nearby cafes, creating a symphony of urban life that seemed to celebrate their momentous occasion. Hand in hand, they strolled along the cobblestone pathways, relishing each step, as if the world had turned down its volume just for us. He had selected an intimate spot in the heart of a glistening park at Alausa, Ikeja, where an arched structure stood in quiet elegance, embraced by enchanting rose gardens. Moonlight cast ethereal shadows upon the petals, as if they too knew the magnitude of the moment. The air carried the intoxicating scent of roses, their delicate fragrance wrapping around them like a promise of everlasting love. His heart thudded against his ribcage as he turned to face Rose under the glow of a nearby lamppost. Bathed in its soft light, her dazzling smile lit up the night, radiating the beauty that captivated him from the very beginning. In her eyes, a universe of trust and adoration awaited me, reflecting the eternal bond they had nurtured throughout their journey together. Taking a deep breath to steady his racing thoughts, he mustered the courage to speak. Emotion encased every word as his declaration of love spilled forth, recounting the countless ways Rose had filled his life with joy, warmth, and an indescribable sense of completeness. Every syllable wrought with vulnerability, he confessed that she was his heart's chosen destination and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life sharing an irrevocable connection with her. As the words hung in the air, time momentarily suspended as if the universe too, awaited Rose's answer. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her breath catching in her throat. A tender smile graced her lips, revealing her acceptance of his proposal before the words even tumbled from her mouth. In that moment, a celestial connection sealed their fates together, binding their souls in an eternal love that transcended the boundaries of time and space. They stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, cradled by the night and the embracing moonlight. As their hearts danced to the rhythm of a future filled with promises and dreams, the world faded into a blur, leaving only the purity of their entwined spirits against the backdrop of the city's twinkling lights. |
