A year After

He submitted his script as he walked out of the hall slowly but confidently. He had just written his last paper which meant he was now a graduate. The past year hasn't been easy with Aishat absence but he had pulled through with kewe's help.
She had completed her service and had decided to reside in yenagoa.
He couldn't give meaning to what they had for sometimes they acted like lovers and other times like friends. They had sex quite a number of times, and recently he had started to realize he felt something for her but he couldn't bring himself to admit it to himself. She was older with 2years,he feared for rejection..
He descended the stair case with ease as his mind drifted to Aishat and how they had planned this particular day.

Larry"

He turned to the direction of were he heard his name as his eyes held hers".

Kewe"...he called her softly quite surprised.

What are you doing here? Followed his amusement.

She ignored him and opened her arms for an hug. He held unto her, much more than usual

Congratulations Larry, am so proud of you. She said .

Thanks love, am so surprised.I mean I didn't expect to see you here.

He couldn't hide his excitement at her every word.

She had changed from the last time he saw her..

She acted and behaved more lady like. She even wore a body fitted gown "

I couldn't miss today for anything she said bringing him back from his thoughts.

As they entwined their Fingers, he felt what seemed like electricity pass through them and from the look in her eyes he knew she felt it too. And he knew age was just a number compared to what he felt for her

*****************
Come on baby, I really wish you would be there too, but Andrea is just a week old and you two need proper rest.

This is so not fair she whined. Kewe wouldn't stop making noise about how her Asoebi gown look good on her... I should be there too.

I know.. But our baby needs you he said folding his last piece of clothing inside his suitcase.

Pamela was getting married the next day and he couldn't miss it for anything in the world.

Too bad his wife couldn't come along since she had just delivered a baby boy a week ago"

Are you tired of taking care of my grandchild already her mother said as she descended the stairs "

Don't give me that look, I overheard you two talking .

Mama.....they exchanged look as they burst out laughing

Her mother had been staying with them since she put to birth.

Mama, not that now. I can never be tired of taking care of my baby... Is just I really wanted to attend the wedding.

Wedding can wait o... My grandchild needs you more.
****************
Pamela stared at her beautiful reflection on the miror as event of the past year filled her mind. She had started dating Osage few weeks after his visit to his father in the hospital and their relationship had blossomed beyond doubt.

Their love waWas the talk of town.
Her mother had settled scores with her and she had returned to been mummy's girl.

Her mind jilted from her thoughts as her soon to be husband walked in..

You're not supposed to be here she whispered.

Her makeup artist signalled the rest of them as they all walked out leaving the couples all to themselve.

Baby what are you doing here?

You're looking ravishing and the artist aren't done yet"

She blushed shyly... You are not supposed to be here ,my mum told me if the groom sees the bride before the wedding it signifies bad luck.

Come-on sunshine,...as he fondly called her. don't believe those.. Beside you know how much am trying to get this wedding done with so I can have you all to myself... I miss you already.

She blushed hiding her face...

I miss you to baby.. But this has to come first

I know.. He said kissing her lips which she consumed like her life depended on it..

I can't wait to have you as my wife and call you the mother of my kids he whispered to her ears as she shivered and he walked away leaving her to yearn for him.

Let me end it here.

Am really sorry for keeping you guys for this long. I was robbed and I didn't know my password. So I had to wait till I got a phone.

Special thanks to Theophilus for super being there.

Thanks Isaacson,I feel loved.happy birthday to me

Am sorry again for the slow updates.As I said before am writing exams,that's the reason behind the delay.
But am glad to announce to you the next writeup is gonna be the last chapter.

Thank you all,I wouldn't have come this far without you all,thank you for coping with my short and slow updates

Chapter 16.

He saw the excitement on his father's face when he saw him.Despite the life support machine and all the crazy stuff plugged to him,he managed a smile.

He couldn't help but smile back"..there and then he realized he had forgiven his father.

And he found himself crying'..he had held the grudges for so long..

Am sorry my son,I never wanted to abandon you"..have always watched you.Although your mother asked me never to interfere. But am happy for the man you've become.Am proud of you son.Every single time I hear about the lives you have saved"..am glad I met your mother.Have never regretted meeting her. Although it was based on a wrong circumstances but I still love her. I never stopped loving her.

And as for Margaret,we divorced 6months ago although it hasn't gotten to the media yet because of my illness.

Why..he could hears his mother voice tensed.

Because all she was ever after was my money,and am tired of living in fake bliss.I wish I had done this sooner.

He looked from his mother to his father,and he could still see the love in their eyes"

That love at old age that conquers all.
He watched them intertwine their fingers..no words spoken but it was more than a thousand words spoken "
He looked away from them to his son and there and then he knew what he wanted.

**************
He chewed the tasty pankcakes ,grabbing his cup of tea he felt relieved"..he could feel her eyes on him.

So she cleared her throat"..am not really a fan of bugging into peoples private affairs but I want to this and you will have to forgive me.

What happened with her? Why did she leave you? And if you still love her,why don't you chase her?

He managed a sad smile..so which of the question should I answer first?

She smiled back at him..and it was so genuine. And for the first time he acknowledged she was a black diva"

It wasn't her decision to make "..I guess we wernt meant to be.Although she was forced into marrying him.If you ask me,I still love her very much knowing she's not even mine.But loving and unloving someone is really difficult especially if you have given your all".. If you've held back nothing and loved with everything.
Am sorry she whispered.

I don't know how it feels to love someone, have never been in love,all have ever had her one night stands"..

Beside am tomboy. I don't wanna love because have seen people love and get broken just like my mother.

Its just fine if you don't wanna love right now"..but one thing you should know everyone's story is not thesame. Your mum must have gotten hurt but it doesn't mean you will".. The painful truth is love is never a bed of roses. But when you find that special one,his gonna love you beyond your flaws and imaginations.

They ate the rest of their breakfast in silence.

Thanks guys for your comments.And am sorry I can't reply them.much kisses and hugs to u all.

chapter 16

He was upset as he pulled his car to an halt.He carried his son who had fallen asleep as he wondered why his mother had called him at his favourite moment in years.

He couldn't believe they kissed"..does she have feelings for me? He asked no one in particular.

"Maybe she just let me so I wouldn't feel bad".. Mela is not like that his subconsciousness told him". He didn't want to get ideas.. But he was scared she only did that because he was her boss.As he opened the door,the sight of his crying mother made him drop his son on the couch.
Mum what's wrong? He asked worried"

Another new thing ", he was affected by her tears which hadn't happen in years.

Your father, she held unto his leg..his dieng. Please you have to see him.If not for anything for the fact you bear his name".. Please she begged admits tears.

I received a call from his doctor today".. Please.help prolong his life,even if it is for a few days". She pleaded as the tears made lines on her face.

He pulled her to him and hugged her.Something he hadn't done in years surprising himself and her.
"I will book the next available flight"

Thanks you so much she said as she held him closer and her sob became louder.

Mum,don't worry everything will be fine he breathed.As he pulled away from her made some calls.

*******

The drive from the airport to the hospital seemed like a lifetime ride .He had arrived at the airport with his mum and son and they were in a car ride to the hospital. He stole glances at his mother who seemed to be fidgeting despite her efforts to stay calm.

Miguel was fast asleep as he has been since after his graduation "

He held his mother hands in his"..don't worry mum he'll be okay.

He saw the tear drop from her eyes,as she wiped it quickly "
Your father doesn't deserve this, his a good man. I know you're angry with him but he did what he had to do because he had no choice. She said in their dialect not wanting the driver to understand what they talked about"

Why are you defending him? He noticed his voice rising".He replied her ,his voice sounding foreign in his dialect.

I asked him not to contact us again.Yes I did because his wife threatened to end us both.Even after she chased us he came looking for us.He still wanted to be a father to you"..he still brought money until I eloped with you after the threat because I knew her..she can kill if she says so. Am sorry son but it has never been your Father's fault,it's been mine from time.

But it still didn't justify anything. You both are wrong for doing that..why did you have to be a mistress mum? Just why.If you hadn't slept with her husband she wouldn't have threatened you in the first place".

She was pained by his word but he was right"..she slept with him knowing he was married.

Before I met your father, I was an orphan who managed a small pharmacy store.The only thing I inherited from my late parents.As at that time I was a student at U.I studying pharmacy. yes! I wanted to be a pharmacist. She smiled sadly at the memory and I was striving to train myself with what my parents left for me .And then your father was a successful man who dropped by on daily basis to buy sleeping pills! At some point I was forced to ask him what he did what them everyday"..and one day he opened up to me his wife was his problem. He was forcefully married to her by his parents and she made life a living hell.He couldn't sleep by himself so he had to get drugs"

I felt bad for him and he became my friend..subsequently he gave me tips. And gradually I fell for him"

I never planned to.. But I found myself been a mistress.And when I got pregnant of you my baby boy,you were a bundle of joy.The only thing I regretted was quitting school to take proper care of you"..and everything fell apart when your Father's wife found out".

Am sorry.. Am really sorry son.I should have said no to him..but your father was my life "..Am so sorry please forgive me she cried.

He became numb as the driver pulled in front of the Hospital.

*love can either break us or make us*.

A happy new month to you all"
its my birth month o..I rep 29th.

well am sorry because the updates are gonna be once in a week or so...because my exams are starting on the 17th.And am pretty sure am not gonna have time anymore.
Thanking u all.

chapter 15

song of the chapter* A new day has come by celidion.


You can't be serous p! You have to look your best Cassy whined"

Pamela could bet on her salary Cassy was the most beautiful pregnant woman she had seen when she did that.

Have told you before, is just a child's party..stop getting ideas..there's nothing to it. She told Cassandra who kept insisting she dressed her best.

Well you just have to trust me on this..Doc hasn't spoken to any Lady since his wife dismiss.it's been business and nothing else.You're just closing your heart to the fact that you mean a lot more than his employee to him.

I don't want to think about it Akpos, am scared of getting hurt.I could remember how helpless I felt when he yelled at me the other day.I don't want to be weak anymore.

"Love is giving your heart to someone,trusting you wouldn't get hurt but expecting pain as well". It dosent matter if you get hurt sis,what matters is giving yourself a chance to be happy.you can never tell..for now am not asking for your opinion I have this killer dress I can lend you".. She said pulling Pam to her room.


Osas played with his fingers as he waited for her outside where he parked his car".. He couldn't believe he was nervous.He couldn't even remember the last time he felt this way"

It was like he was a teenager going to confess his feelings to his crush for the first time' but the only difference was he was here to pick up his employee to his son's party "..how did it even sound like.

This was a bad idea he whispered" as he rested on his car. He glanced at his soon who was operating his mobile and smiled"

The guy was just his replica, smart and adorable.He wanted to make up for lost years "

But was that really possible? Could he make up for lost years? When he hadn't forgiven his sick father for lost years?.

His thoughts vanished as the gate open and she walked out"
Damn..he muttered under his breath.

Not again..Did she know how much he loved red on her?
Pamela was dressed in a red long dress which had a V neck and Puff hands. It was simple but elegant. It exposed a bit of her cleavages and her feet were clad in a black mosquito heeels and a black purse to match.

For the first time her wasn't packed in a bun but styled beautifully falling on her shoulders. And her nude makeup complemented her skin.

He couldn't stop staring"

Good afternoon..she greeted and hugged her small man who had ran out of the car the moment he saw her.

She hugged him sweetly and complemented him.
Shall we? Doc asked jelouse of how his son could hug her and he couldn't.

She sat at the passenger's seat with him,while he told her about the poem he had memorized for his teachers.

**************
Pamela felt happy..She didn't understand why but she was glad she hadn't declined the offer to go with them.
They ended up taking pictures and each of them beamed with smiles.

As she scrolled through her gallery..she felt satisfied.
She stared at one particular picture were herself and Doc pecked his junior and he smiling so big showing off his teeth.

And of all she couldn't stop thinking about the kiss that lasted few seconds"

When Doc had dropped her off, he had hugged her unexpectedly and kissed her slowly but gently but was interrupted by his ringtone "

She didn't know how long he would have kissed her without the interruption.

Nevertheless he had apologized "..did he regret it she kept thinking.

He had stolen her first kiss".. And even for those few seconds she felt like she was in heaven.

********************

Hills woke up to a banging head"...he tried to remember what happened but all his efforts were futile.

He stood on his feet when he noticed the room wasn't his "
He made for what he agreed to be toilet and emptied his bladder before making his way out of the room"

He followed the aroma as it landed him in the kitchen...seeing Kewe making pancakes with her back facing him"...still on her pj's.he watched her silently as she hadn't noticed him.
His mind wished it was "Shat" standing there making her usual kunu_aya.

He didn't know how to get her out of his mind"..and it was frustrating.

Hey"..you are awake.She faced him as she noticed a figure behind her.

Yes".he whispered.Suddenly embarrassed how he made a fool of himself the previous night.

How do you feel? She asked picking some pancakes from the frypan with her fork.

"My head ache like it's about to pull out"

Oh..don't worry you'll be fine..I have the perfect home remedy for you..Just take a seat she gestured to the stool beside him.

Thanks..he said still not smiling.

I will be done soon"..just give me some minutes.

Am sorry about last night..I couldn't think of any other person. Sorry for the stress.

It's okay,am glad I could help.. She said turning some black substance into a mug which he assumed was the home remedy she talked about.

But you owe me an explanation because I know whatever your going through it taking a toll on you'.


Author's note

Am sorry guys for the delay..just lots has bn going on with me.

This episode is dedicated to my sweetheart B! whose birthday is today.


He gulped down the last bottle of drink as he signalled the waiter for another".

He was dead drunk,and his eyes were barely open.All he could think of was her. Her smile,her laugh and how she made him get A's.

She was what they call hot cake" in his department. Every male wanted her,even the lecturers would do anything to have her.. The ladies either wanted to be friends with her or hater her for the attention she got.

But she was all gone,an history he couldn't let go.
The club soon get heated as the D.j played "Kukere"

Ladies twerked to their best abilities and the men wandered about looking for any 'catch and hit'

He scrolled down his contacts searching for anyone to come to his aid as he could barely open his eyes
His fingers tapped on 'Accident girl' and dailed it.

*********
Kewe stretched lazily as she stared at her ringing phone.Why was he calling? She hadn't called him since the last time .

She picked her remote as she reduced the volume of her TV"..placing her phone on her ear.
Please I need your help he said.

Where are you"..she shouted as she could barely hear him.
Penthouse he screamed before the line went dead
Her eyes flew to the wall clock.it was obvious he was drunk but why had he called her at 12.30am.She hissed loudly as her eyes went back to her football match. Yet she felt guilty"..Standing on her feet,she pulled in an hoodie over her shorts as she took her car keys from her table.

I could just use this medium to say how sorry I am for hitting him.She said to herself trying to justify her actions.
"You already apologized" her mind told her.

Idiot mind your business she whispered as she entered the car and drove out of the compound but after giving the security man a tip for disturbing and begging him to wait up for her.

She soon alighted at the club as her eyes searched all over for him.she dailed his number but she got the same not reachable response.

She found her way pushing some drunk persons, and looking at at those seated "

There she saw him ,head on the table sleeping soundly and she knew she was in for it"

She woke him up while she supported him outside his club"..he could barely see her and he knew he had too much to drink.

She put her car to a start as she drove occasionally sparing him a glance.

She soon alighted as she parked at one end of the compound "..using her tomboyish strength she dragged him to her room. Where he landed like a thud the moment he saw her bed.

She sighed as she watched him sleep on her bed like he owned it....dropping her keys behind the door..she went to her former position in the living room where she continued her match"

Until then,she didn't know why she did what she did"

*****************

Both mother and son looked at him like he were some ghost"..he couldn't blame them because it was actually the first time he came home early to meet them having dinner.Every other day had been when they had probably gone to bed"

And he had kept the routine for 5years".

He ignored their greeting as he climbed the stairs to his room and collapsed on the bed still on his shoes and work outfit.

He just didn't know why his tired mind couldn't stop thinking about her..she has been on his mind all day"..especially the thought of what happened the other day.He couldn't contain himself,seeing someone else making her happy.

His eyes went to his door that made some noise..and his 5year old son popped his head inside.

Dad please can I come in? He asked slowly avoiding eye contact with his father.

What's it? He asked irritated.

He walked inside handing over a folded paper to him.
What's in there? He asked as his eyes scrutinized the boy"
But he surprised him by taking on his heels.
He opened his paper as he read the contents

Dear dad,

I just wanted to ask why you don't love me? If I did anything wrong,please forgive me.

And those words pierced his heart.He knew his mum was a part of this but he was right,he had mourned his late wife for too long.He knew she wouldn't be happy with him for neglecting their son."He had to make things right ,standing on his feet,he went for his son.

***************
She laughed uncontrollably as she listened to Doye talk about her lattest catch"..Doye had always had a thing for men with big pockets.

After talking with Laye,she had decided call people from her past.Colleagues and friends seemed to have missed her terribly.The only person she hadn't call was her mother"..she missed her but she wasn't ready for a reminder for marriage"

I will call you back she told Doye when she heard the doorbell.

She was on night duty, and unfortunately home alone she whiled away time on her phone "
She opened the door and her mouth flew open seeing her boss simply dressed on a ripped jean and black polo..showing his arbs.She couldn't stop staring.
Why was he here? She almost said aloud "..before he greeted.

Am sorry"...forgive my manners. Am just surprised.
How are you? She said sweetly to his small replica.
Am fine aunt,good afternoon.

Am sorry for the other, I shouldn't have said those things.I didn't mean them.He said sincerely.

Its fine.Am not angry. Just hurt she almost said before holding back her words.

Thanks. Will it be too much to ask if you cone for it tommorrow?


Please.. His smaller version begged.

Awww..he was just too cute and she couldn't say no to him.
Yes baby, Definitely.

Thanks a lot they both chorused.
You are welcome,she blushed.
Won't you come in? She asked.
No..thanks but we are going out
Wow..wonderful. You too have fun she said and waved them. She couldn't stop staring until they were out of sight.

chapter 14


Bibi fumbled with her bag searching for her keys until she found them and placed the key on the hole but noticed the door wasn't locked.

She walked inside quit curious knowing her husband wasn't back from his journey .

Her eyes lightened in excitement as her eyes caught the roses on the floor.

"Please forgive me"

The living room was decorated with white and red' and her husband stood at one end with flowers in his hands.

Her eyes became teary as he moved closer to her"

Am sorry love .I haven't been good to you and this wasn't what I promised you"..you deserve so much and I give you less.please forgive me my love.I promise to be the man you know,the man you fell in love with.

He wiped her tears with his thumb as he consumed her lips "..She kissed back passionately her hands digging into his hair.

Baby.. He said in between deep breaths.
Let's do this later,we have lots to do".. He said pulling her away.

He led her to the dinning were he had prepared her favourite meal"

They sat down facing each other as they devoured the romantic dinner.

********
He stared at his screen like he was dreaming'..no this wasn't real.he pinched himself to be sure.Scared of the call ending and not been able to pick ..he picked and held the phone tightly to his ear.

"Shat" he said in a whisper like he would wake up if he screamed.

Hello Hills

she said in her ever sweet voice concealing her fears and tears.

Glow what happened,have been calling you since forever.you sound okay.Did I do something wrong Why haven't your number been reachable, I almost lost my mind .Its been nothing but torture for me.

Hills am sorry, Am sorry but we'r over.I thought I should let you know than keeping you worried ".

She said as the tears blinded her vision and her voice broke down.

Why? He asked unable to hold back his tears .Did I do something wrong?

No you didn't. You've always wanted my happiness. Bu..t...bu..t ..she stammered .

But what? Why do you want to hard damage to an already wounded heart.Do you know how it has been with me.I got into accident Shat,cos I wasn't thinking straight anymore. Please whatever it is can be sorted out".. Don't leave me he begged.

Am married".. She almost screamed.Have been forcefully married and everything is gone.You won't see me anymore because am leaving for Dubai with my husband".. And that's were I'll be staying from now on. With that the call ended.
He held his hands in his palms as he sobbed liked a child.This was way too much for him.

He had lost her,he had lost his glow.

He pulled a trouser in as he left the house ignoring his mother's voice to comeback.

He wanted to forget everything.

let's just say..it mtn fault u didn't update(angry).

song of the chapter:Someone like you by Adele.

chapter 13

She wanted to hear from him,he hadn't call her like she had asked to know how he was fairing.
She didn't understand this feeling "..it was new.And she felt like exploring.
She wasn't among those girls that hide their feelings,she was too blunt for her own good"
She swiped her newly acquired phone and dailed his number "..she had saved his number with hills.

Hello he muttered after the third ring.

She felt it..he wasn't happy,his voice was dull.not that she had heard him speak countless times.He was distant as well".. Could it be why he walked in front of her car unknowingly".. Could it be the reason for the accident. She wanted to know.

Uhm..I was expecting you to call,since you said you would.How are you feeling? She asked politely.
Am fine,I can walk well and my mum is no longer bugging me on what happened".

Its been a week after the incident and they had exchanged numbers at the hospital. And he had promised to update her about his health but he never called nor texted. And here she was calling.

That's nice to hear.Now you are fine can I take you out? At least for making you spend 3nights at the hospital she added".. Not wanting to sound desperate.

Not like she believed in love anyways'..she felt life was too long to get stuck with someone.

She have had flings that lasted after sex".. And that was all she cared about. One night and move forward.

No thanks he said" and he hung up.

Bad was an understatement of how she felt"..she hated rejection. She never asked a guy out and this time she did cause she found him very attractive and somehow she found herself thinking of him.

She didn't want to be like a girl"..who cried for rejection. She grabbed her remote and turned in sport.

*********************
She couldn't help as the tears clouded her vision"..her head on his shoulders.

She held unto him like he was all that mattered in the world and he did likewise.

God"..he had missed her.

He fragrance, her long hair,her charming smile and playful self".

Second turned into minutes as they didn't care about onlookers.

It had taken Doc chimobi to pull them apart".

"Please this isn't the place for display of affection " he said angrily.

He cleaned her eyes with his thumb.

Have missed you.So much he added staring at her.

She was numb,she couldn't say anything. Her feet trembled". And she suddenly felt guilty for the way doc stared at her before he left".

Laye held her hand before they walked hand in hand outside.Thankfully her shift was over.

He led her to his car as he drove from the Hospital "..silence soon envoloped the car.

He stopped in front of an eatery and they stepped out not still saying a word".

She took the seat beside the window,were she could see everything going on outside.

He signalled for the waiter and ordered for them.He knew what she liked her favourite..he always knew.

Soon a plate of friend rice and two lap of Turkey sat in front of her'..with an holandia at the side.

She picked her cutleries and dugged in.

While he stared at her sipping from the wine he had ordered for himself.

And when she had dropped her spoon indicating she was done he spoke for the first time.

" Am sorry".

He stared at her like she held his world in her eyes.

Am sorry I am too late.Am sorry because I didn't realize you had feelings for me,am sorry I never knew I was in love with you until you left".

Am sorry I broke your heart, am a coward for breaking the heart have always protected from getting hurt.

I hate myself for this, for loosing you forever.Since you left my life has been a total mess.I only figured out what I had when I'd lost it.

If only I could turn back the hands of time, if only I could bring back what we had"..but I believe there was a reason.maybe I wouldn't have loved you like you deserved, you deserve someone better..Someone who can cherish you like diamond because you deserve the best".

She looked at him for the first time,and all she could see was a broken man.He was pale and he looked nothing like the laye she knew..nothing like the man she fell helplessly for"

She wiped the stubborn tear that had fallen .

You don't have to apologize Laye, it all in the past.Although I was broken but everything has only made me stronger . And am also sorry for leaving you like that,You didn't deserve that. Am very sorry, everything I did was out of pain"

He left his seat and sat beside her.

He held her hands in his as he soothed them.

How's bibi she asked after the long silence"

She is fine.But have been a bad husband, I have been hurting her and I haven't been thinking straight. Until I saw hills and he told me were you relocated to.

Oh..hills..she screamed then laughed.

How much he had missed hearing her laugh".

Yea Hills told me. And have been observing you for 2days now.I didn't know how to come to you ,so have been around for 2days until today when I gathered the courage.

Stalker"..she said amused.

You can say that again he joked.

I will be selfish if I ask you not to be good to her,Yes I still love you but I have to let you go laye. That's the decision I made when you got married and the only way you can make me happy is treating her right,cherish her like it were me..love her and give her more because she deserves the best .Do this for you and me.We deserve to be happy".

He was dumbfounded. Never had he found someone so selfless.

He reached out for her and hugged her.

She was perfect, she wasn't supposed to be a human but an angel"..thank you he muttered and tightened his embrace.

He spent time catching up on old times before they left the eatery both in a lighter mood just like old times.

he dropped her off after promising to take her out for icecream the next day

please dont forget to drop your beautiful comments.It will make me happy.

chapter 12b

He unconsciously adjusted his tie and arranged his table
before he tapped himself.

What am I doing he said almost in a whisper ".placing his hands on his head before the door flew open and she walked in majestically"

God"..she was beautiful.

His eyes fell on her and glued to her"

He fought with them to pull away ,yet they stuck like they owned her".

She was clad in a black pant trouser and a red blazer on nude mosquito heels revealing her black camisole tucked in her pant trousers".

Her long black hair did no justice knotted in a messy bun"
Her blue eyes glowed like the morning sea and full lips clad in red stood up beautifully yet so seductively ". Seeing her drove away all his hurt,anger and frustration.
And when she smiled beautifully at him with her white teeth in display , he almost lost control of himself"

She suddenly felt uncomfortable with her boss's stare.She felt vulnerable, like he could read her with his gaze'..she batted her eye lashes as she shyly avoided his penetrating gaze"

He swore red looked good on her'..it was her colour and he wished he could fill her wardrobe with just red'

He suddenly found his voice" ,although it came out very husky and sexy' and it sent goosebumps to her body".

Why do you want to see me? He asked feeding his eyes on his laptop.

Geez"..he needed a distraction from staring.Her eyes were doing magic to him and his laptop was the only option and at the screen his late wife picture displayed " and for the first time,he didn't feel like staring at it but at what was upfront".

It's about your son's graduation, she finally got her courage back.

Without waiting for his reply,she continued.
He invited me.And I already said yes.please is it okay with you? Am sorry I couldn't say no to him. He just too sweet and cute'

Listen mela you can't just show up in my family and do what you want .I don't want to see you one inch close to my son" and use the door.

Her face immediately turned pale and her eyes teary".never had she been rejected by any parent ,she loved kids and they were always drown to her.

She walked out as fast as her legs could carry her embarrassed.

He stared as his late wife picture embarrassed "

Am sorry jewel,my heart belongs to you alone.
*****************
The tears fell uncontrollably as it ruined her light makeup"..she wiped her face only for it to be watery in the next minute.

She was in the restroom,her back rested on the wall with her hands placed on the sink and her eyes tightly shut.
She didn't know how she felt"..if she was crying for been rejected by a parent not to take his son out or for the obvious that she had fallen for a man who was obsessed with his latewife'

No..she couldn't say fallen ..rather his presence did strange things to her.

She felt vulnerable and that she didn't like.She was use to been strong"..hidding her emotions and acting all happy.
She was use to been lashed by her mother,and swallowing her pain"..been hurt by laye unknowingly to him and keeping silence. But she didn't feel that way"..she felt like running away".

She tried to shut her mind"..for it kept telling her how long will she run.

She didn't like herself this way".she hated been weak. She needed to run.

" running is for the weak"..her subconsciousness told her.

No I can't do this anymore, I will call it quit.

She dabbed her face and applied her red lipstick,putting on her pretentious happy face she walked out'.

For a minute her eyes blurred, and she felt like she had lost it as she saw him standing in front of the receptionist "


No.. She wasn't dreaming she pinched herself ".

How did he find her,She wanted to turn back and run".. But it was too late as his eyes found her.

" Pamela" he said almost screaming

And for the first time since she knew him he called her Pamela"

Her eyes became wet as she said almost in a whisper

"Laye".

Olabantu:
Wow, twists, turns, dives, plots and a lot more....Seems we are getting ready for a rough ride, Lovers getting separated, Love triangle looming, Old grudges coming up, someone ready to fight tooth and nail for what doesn't even belong to her and after all they said hell has no fury like a woman scorned,well, i got to go now, but i surely will be back before this ends...OP, thumbs up.....

this got to me

thanks a lot,I really appreciate

I must confess your comments made me want to update .Literally had to ditch my sleep for this.
I know it a short chapter,but I will complete it tommorow if I get 15comments.

chapter 13.
"I don't think there is any other feeling as painful as separating two lovers" .


She wiped her tears as she cleaned her nose with her handkerchief fighting more tears from dropping ".

Her name is "Aishat malik" and tomorrow was her wedding. She stared at the ceiling counting the lines as she murmured incoherent words of how her suppose happiest day was to be ruined getting married to a man she didn't love or know".
At that moment she wished for so much"..that even her knew Allah would be against.
She prayed her one and only true love was fine"..she had hurt him by cutting off all communications with him without a goodbye .
What was life without him?Without her education? Her father had told her that immediately she got married,she will follow her husband to Kaduna where her life would begin
She prayed for death to end her misery.

Aishat not again please her mother begged " seeing her daughter cry pitifully.

"Love isn't always by first sight,you will grow to love him."

That she assured her for she herself had shed those sorrowful tears when she was forcefully engaged to her husband "

But now,She had learned to live with him.To her that was all that mattered".

I wish..u could fe..eel my pain she stammered in between hiccups and tears".

Her mother enveloped her in her arms as she prayed for Allah's assistance to comfort her daughter.

**************

Wow you did it again! Am so proud of you his father said hugging him that he almost choked ".

Thanks dad" he said raising his right thumb and placing it in his father's.

That was their symbol for promise

I promise to always make you proud the 10year old said happily displaying his 32"

Awesome my son,his father rubbed his head sincerly impressed his son had taken first again.

So what do you want me to buy for you? Anything at all".
A bicycle dad .He said excitedly "

You will get your bicycle before sunrise tomorrow. his father assured him.

Oh..so this is how you two will betray me right? He heard his mother's voice which was now an earshot.

When was the last time you gave me an open cheque she pouted".

He laughed heatedly and even his 10year old son who didn't know what it meant joined him.

Come on obim as he fondly called her. "My money is your money to spend,you don't need an open cheque okay".

She enveloped him in an hug, I love you so much "chimobi".you are my sunset and sunrise.

And you too my Queen he said with so much affection.

I came to inform you two the food is ready".. And guess wat I prepared?

Father and son made some wrong guesses until she said" Black soup and fufu"

She didn't know when they ran like kids to the dinning .
Yes "..he said to his secretary that had interrupted his old and beautiful memories of his parents.

Sir have been here for a while you seem lost in your thoughts.Are you okay?

Yes Nina".. And for the first time he looked at her.
She smiled sweetly at his gaze.

Why are you dressed like this he yelled?

She wore a black short skirt that exposed her laps on a body hug chiffon that left revealed her cleavages".And her face masked with makeup he would refer to as " disastrous ".
Am sorry sir ,she muttered shamefully.

Why are you here? He asked sending her a dangerous glance"

Miss Pamela Denyenfa wants to see you.

Let her in'..and call me Mrs Edose.

At that moment Nina knew she was doomed for Mrs Edosa was in charge of work ethics and she had broken one".

chapter 12.

Welcome back sweet sis_ta.Cassy dragged her every word obviously teasing Pam .

Not what you are thinking.

Tell me what am thinking then "

It a long story, just so you know I didn't sleep at his place.But I slept at his place she said taking a deep sigh.
Now you are getting me all confused"

You didn't sleep at his place but you slept at his place can you explain ".

Cassy grabbed her abandoned piece of bread and applied some butter on it licking her fingers that some unfortunate butter had touched.

Satisfied with what she had done,she devoured it with all might.

I slept at my boss place she said dragging a seat beside her so she could sit.

You did what? How ? Why she asked all at a time.

Well I saw him drunk last night,and he was been chased by a striper causing a scene so I rescued him pretending to be his wife.unfortunately brains refused to help me with him so I called a cab and dailed the number he had saved with mother and I took him to his place. His mum insisted I slept over since it was late so I did"

And have you spoken to brains since then? She asked like a counselor taking observation of her patient progress.

No.Although he called this morning.

So why didn't you pick? She asked raising a brow

Well,because I hated the way he left me lastnight all by myself with a drunken man.

His only natural he behaved that way, his hurt.You wounded his ego running after another while on a date with him.
Whatever"..she said stuffing her mouth with bread

And I thought you had work this morning " Cassy asked watching her sister eat comfortably which was quite unusual

Am off today,I mean my boss said I could take the day off.
For saving his ass or..she teased with her eyes"

Anabrasi ah(leave me jor). Pamela said reaching for the dstv remote as she tunned in "Africa magic".

Pamela knew she would lazy about all day with Cassy watching TV and doing some gossips since Cassy had taken a break off her job so she could rest well now that her pregnancy was getting delicate and her baby bump prudding.Although she had employed a sales girl and visited once a week.

The same reason she had pleaded with Pamela to stay with her until she put to birth".

********
Osagie watched from his car as people moved in and out of the hospital"

He couldn't believe his once beloved father was here,the man who had disappeared from his life when his so called legal wife chased him and his mother away without mercy.
He hated the fact that his life changed in a twinkle of an eye after the incident,he was born with a silver spoon but went from grace to grass"

He remembered Hawking in the street of Lagos drenched by rain on several occasions and fell Ill to malaria before he won that scholarship that changed his life".

He had moved from Lagos once he made it to Benin,flewing from the painful and once sweet memories he had in Lagos to have a fresh start"

And after 25years the same woman who had chased himself and his mother come looking for him.

"My son am on my kneels, your father is dieng of cancer and his days are numbered all he demands is to see u and make peace with you and your mother".

His step mother's words rang like a school bell reminding her pupils of their lateness"

He pulled at one side of the hospital as he used the elevator inside the massive building.

I still don't understand why you don't want to leave this country,you can't die here.I mean what will people think,that you are too selfish to die in the best hospital in India. We both know you have a few months left,why not spend it at a reputable hospital ".

Am too broken to think of opinions, I failed my son.And I hurt Magdalene. Wherever I die has no meaning to me anymore.

He thought he had heard enough as he walked as far as he legs could carry him..

What kind of a woman cared about where her husband dies than the thought of him dieng.

His father's legal wife was worst than a witch.

Good to know he wasnt dead and he had heard his father's voice not from TV but closely after 25years".

*************

Oh my God! His awake she shouted happily hugging her friend.

Bibi hugged her in return as they called for the doctor's attention

" you don't know how it feels not to kill someone she said happily.hand on her chest."

He coughed to gain their attention ,they had completely forgotten he was their rejoicing their victory over his consciousness..

Hi..he muttered wearily.

Bros abeg no vex,na my friend I been they talk to wey make me forget say I dey drive nia make I hit you.She said apologetically.

He almost laughed at the way she spoke her warrior pidgin fluently".

No prob babe.I bin no dey look road waka.So it not entirely your fault he said .

Here is your phone she handed over his BlackBerry to him "
Excited his device was in perfect shape he quickly opened it to check if there was any misscall from shat but his disappointment showed clearly when all his misscall were from all but her.

Do you want to call your parents? Or anyone bibi asked ".
No..none.i'll be out of here soon right?

Yes..soon.you look so familiar".. She said after staring at him for a while"

You too.. I just can't place where we met.

How are you feeling? The doctor asked breaking their conversation.

I feel alright but am very weak"

Any headaches?

No..just weak.

Let's do a checkup on you, so u can eat and rest"

You two should rest also he said talking to the ladies".

Alright they said taking their leave after promising him they'll be back.


Am gonna update when I get at least 10comments.

Am sorry once more for the delay in updates.it really not intentional.
since school resumed,am kinda busy with more activities.
and I don't want to just update in a rush because I might end up writing what I won't on a normal day.

I'll try and make amends.

But for now,manage this short update.Would have written more than this but am multi tasking and the time is no longer on my side.

it 2: 41 am already (sobs) and I haven't even done all I want to .So please pardon me.


chapter 10a

She stood up from the bed when all her efforts to fall asleep was unfruitful.suddenly she was thirsty and needed water.

She Walked through the dark hallway trying to find her way to the kitchen.

The lights were turned on and she froze on the spot.

Their eyes met and she could see how shocked he was from his eyes".

Am sorry,I got thirsty and wanted water.

What are you doing here? He asked surprised than confused.

I..I..I..she stammered unable to say anything due to his stare and the shirt his mother had given her didn't help matters as it ended above her knees exposing her laps.
Am listening".He said folding his arms .

You were drunk earlier at a bar,and been dragged by a stripper.So I saved your sorry ass.She said before realizing it.

Oh"..he mumbled.

But did you just say I was been dragged by a stripper".

He asked quite shocked.

Oh my..I drank too much.I can't remember anything he rubbed his temples.

This time her confidence was back as she laughed hard recalling the incident .

I guess you are no longer thirsty he joked".

I still am she said as she found her way to the kitchen.
She came out a few minutes later to find him seated on a couch with his legs across the table which he had obviously brought closer to him.

She walked towards the hallway and stopped when he called her name.

"Mela".

She turned and took some steps closer to him.
" you look amazing on this shirt,and so you know.it's mine but you can keep it."

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

She was carried away by his mother's kindness not to think of who owned the shirt.

Thanks she said embarrassed and left hurriedly ".

She didn't know how long she took before she finally dozed off but she was woken up by the vibration of her phone.

She typed in her password as she read the message that displayed on screen.

" You can take the day off,and thanks for saving my ass last night ".

She smiled as she saved the unknown number with " boss".
Her head ached and her body was too lazy to get up.Glad she had been given the day off she dozed off again only to be woken up by a call.

Her screen displayed"Akposy" this time and she placed the phone on her ears.

Hello she said weakly.

Pamela I really don't understand this your date, are you still at his place.

She had texted her sis last night she wasn't coming home but hadn't mentioned her reasons.

Am sorry love,I'll explain to you when I get home.

She said sleepily.

Can't wait she said and Pamela could tell she was smilling.
She had wanted to leave after one month was due but the couples had pleaded for her to stay till she delivered.

This time she didn't go back to sleep but stood up sadly.

She took a quick shower and wore her clothes of yesterday.after delibrating on taking the shirt or not,she folded it neatly on the bed and stepped out of the room looking more refreshened.

Wow, grandma who's she? The little boy said admiringly smiling sweetly at her".

Goodness boy, have you forgotten your manners.

Am sorry grandma he said apologetically.

Good morning aunt".

She couldn't help but fall for the cutie".He was her boss replica and she pinched herself to stop staring.

Morning sweetheart". What's your name?

Junior.

Nice darling.And am nurse Pamela or aunt Pamela she said all smiles.

He took one spoon from his bowl of cereal before giving her a slight nod".

I have to leave now honey,do take care of yourself and grandma alright?

I will he said in between chewing the cereal in his mouth.
And then he said something that surprised her.

"Aunt Pam can I ask you for a favour?".

Yes hon,anything .

Can you come for my graduation party .next week Saturday?.he said sweetly.

Sure love

And this time even his grandma had said thankyou we really appreciate.

She left the house feeling really happy,she loved kids and this particular kid had won her heart.

She had refused " grandma's" offer to wait till breakfast was ready, she feared she will ask questions about her relationship with her boss and that she dreaded .

As she stood outside the gate looking for a cab,her phone rang and after seeing who the caller was she hissed loudly throwing her phone inside her handbag.

This chapter is dedicated to those who dropped their comments unfailingly.The secret to every writer's new update is encouragement. please do encourage me with your comments.
love u all.

chapter 10


Osagie suddenly became moody after the phonecall.
He threw imaginary fists on the air.
Picking his car keys,he drove to the nearest bar and drank to stupor.

Thank you she said as she dropped her fork.
She was out on a second date with Brainstorm, the guy that had picked her up the other day under the sun.

He was full of humour,he made her laugh so hard and he seemed to be straight to the point like he knew what he wanted.And sweetly he was such a fine man".

She had thought of giving him a chance on their next outing.
There was no harm in giving love a try".

He held her hand as he led her to his car but a scene of a drunk man and a prostitute caught her attention.

Where are you going ?he asked pulling her hand".

I just want to check who it is,the figure looks familiar.Pamela shrugged.

Comeon pamy, it not safe there .Anything can happen he pleaded. She loved the way he pronounced pamy"..but she wished he had called her mela like her boss.

No..she snapped.it could be anyone and I need to know she said and walked hastily to the scene while he walked behind her.

she made her way through the crowd and what her eyes saw made her feel suddenly sick.

"Her boss been dragged by a striper to pay her for her services".

Let go of my husband she shouted to everyone's hearing. She held him by the hand and pushed him through the crowd with Brainstorm's help.

Do you even know this man? He questioned angrily. Staring dagers at her for explanation.

His my boss.She said avoiding his gaze.

And you had to act like his your husband?

Please can you stop with the questions. I'll appreciate if you drive us to his place.

Some hours later,she sat down in Osagie's living room as she sipped from a cup of tea his mum had made for her.

" An hour earlier she had called a cab to pick her up at bar after Brainstorm left her angrily with her boss.Fortunately there was no password on his phone so she called the contact he had saved with mother to send his house address.

She couldn't leave since it was quite late,and his mother had pleaded with her to sleep over.

His living room was quite fascinating with pictures of himself she and a lady she concluded to be his wife .

The ladies pictures were everywhere.Her mind wandered back to what his secretary had told her about his late wife and she wondered which man would remain faithful to his wife even years after her death"..but the scene with the prostitute earlier had made her question his faithfulness.

Are you sure you don't want anything his mother asked interrupting her thoughts.

No ma,she said quietly.

The older woman took a seat beside her as she smiled sadly".

Am really happy my son has decided to move on,you are a very beautiful lady".

She didn't allow her to talk as she continued.

Ever since he lost his wife 5years ago,he has never smiled nor laughed.He has hated everything around him including me and his son".

So he had a son she thought. Did he look like his father?
Am sure he would heal with time. She said not wanting to break the older woman's heart further as she saw unshed tears in her eyes"

So my dear,let me not bore you with sad tales,am sure you are dizzy.And I would let you rest.

She stood up to leave but turned to Pamela.
Would you like to sleep in your boyfriend's room or guest room?

Pamela bit her lips.oh God! How will I tell her am just his employee without hurting her. She thought sadly .

My dear...she called to gain Pamela's attention who was lost in her thoughts.

Guest room is just fine she stuttered.

**************

Laye ate the first spoon from the spaghetti and dropped his spoon.

Am no longer hungry he told his wife and stood up.
She thought of the time she had spent to make it all good and the tears fell uncontrollably.

She packed the dishes and dumped them on the sink as she sobbed silently.he had been giving her this attitude for so long.

Taking her phone from her Jean pocket she dailed
Kewe's number .

Hello Bibi .kewe said happily as she placed her phone on loudspeaker facing the road".

She was driving. And her good mood was due
to the fact that the March they had played earlier between female and male corpers was awesome with the females giving them 1_0.

Babe you still dey?She asked as there was no response from the other end.

Bibi you dey cry? She asked concerned. As she heard nothing but sniff.

I cooked and he ate nothing from it she finally said admist tears and sniffing.

Na why you dey cry? She asked slightly irritated.

First of all why you dey tell me? I be your husband?. Tell am wetin dey do you.make una communicate.

She hissed loudly .She removed her gaze from the road in an attempt to end the call angrily as unfortunately hit him.
Oh no..she screamed loosing control of the wheel.

It was now Bisola's turn to worry as she screamed what happened with no response from the other end.

She kept dialing Kewe's number even after 45minutes with no response .Only to be picked an hour later by a masculine voice.

Your friend is at the hospital "

Which hospital she screamed as her hands fidgeted.
Faith's clinic.

Is her case critical? Oh my God.I'll be there shortly she ended the call as she dashed out almost immediately.
She parked her car at the available spot as she rushed upstairs.

How can I help you?the nurse asked the unsettled lady.
My friend was rushed here an hour ago .She gave more explanations she felt was useful.


The nurse showed her to Kewe's ward.As she rushed over her friend who sat quietly on the bed.

Wait!..I was expecting a dieng friend.Why are you still alive she joked.

You believe say I fit die when I never win that football cup?
Bisola laughed as she examined her.

What happened she asked?.

I ran into someone while talking to you and I fainted out of shock.The doctor said am fine but the guy is still
unconscious she said worried.

Oh no..am sorry Bisola apologized. It all my fault.I called while you were driving .

It not your fault Bibi..I picked didn't I. Am just praying he'll be fine.

Am sorry the updates are slow.
school,bizness and every other good thing takes my time.

just keep the comments coming.They are my drugs.

chapter 9

*If you can stay mad at ur lover for days then I guess it isn't worth it*

He read every page with keen interest filled with realization and regrets. This was some minutes ago when he had come to ask after Pamela from her parents. And he had opened her room just like old times when he paid her a surprise visit' ,wishing she was there to jump on him and hit him playfully on his chest .

But there was no one'..it was an empty room well organized as usual.

He had wanted to leave after sitting on the bed for sometime but his eyes fell on a Jolter which was half clad by the pillow.

He had known her all his life but never knew she kept a diary"

He had been hurting his best friend without knowing.And for the first time he realized he hadn't cared about her feeling all along.It has always been him! He wondered how she had felt all this while trying to make him happy and hurting herself.

****************
He stared at the woman that had destroyed the once happy family he thought he had.

How did she find him in the first place.

Sitting uninvited beside him was his father's legal wife .
Am sorry I can't.He said counting his every word.

My son am on my kneels, your father is dieng of cancer and his days are numbered all he demands is to see u and make peace with you and your mother.

He couldn't believe his ears,the same person that chased himself and his mother away without caring about how they survived'

He could never forget how happy his life was until a certain woman (she) claimed to be the legal wife of his father and his mother only a mistress.

And that night was the last time he saw his father'..he disappeared like a thin air.

And his hatred for his mother began.

But he had to get use to it that all the people he loved and trust always left him.

I don't have a father he said to her and ordered her out of his office.

Ninapikins tiptoed back to her position as she wanted to avoid been caught.

Her curiosity of why the wife of one of the wealthiest men in Africa could come to the hospital had made her eavesdrop and she was shocked to her bones .No wonder they shared the same surname'...

She smilled sweetly when she remembered her boss was still unmarried.

Pastor Omeofa she screamed excitedly remembering he had told her,her husband was not too far from her.
But he doesn't want to be associated with them"

She thought again scratching her weavon she had carried for more than 3months.

All he needs is Me "..he needs me to realize wat he has been missing.
Oh..finally all this family expenses will be off my back she smilled happily.

***************
He dailed the number for the umpteenth time with the same message from the network

" the number you're trying to call is not reachable at the moment".

It has been saying the same thing for 5days and some point he wondered how he was still breathing.

He stared at her name on his phone"Glow"

And her dazzling picture on his wallpaper. He knew he was going insane.

Tears formed in his eyes beyond his control.
How stupid of him,he never took her sister's contact.
He logged in on Facebook like his life depended on it and searched for her "Aishat Malik".But he noticed she had blocked him .

He tried to recall their last day together, how they laughed and hugged at the park and how she had held unto him like he owned her life refusing to let go of him .

But why had she blocked him? What had he done wrong?..he went on his kneels to pray for God to protect his Angel.She was all that glowed in his life, she was all he had.

Am sorry for the late update.
first of all I was I'll last week and got better on Sunday.
And phcn has refused to give light since on Saturday last week until now.My phone has bn suffering from lowba3.

But I was able to squeeze this short chapter,half bread they say is better than known.And to those that wished me fast recovery,thank you and God bless you.


*if you got someone that loves you and you love in return, do it purely and selflessly but don't be obsessed about it.For love can make you better or destroy u.*

Chapter 8.


Where are you headed young lady? let me drop you off.He said as he adjusted his spectacles.

Without wasting time she told him tired of the hot sun burning through her skin.

He tried conversing with her but she seemed rather too tired to talk as she replied in monosyllables.

He let her be as he turned on the radio and focused his attention on the road.

Few minutes later he halted the car at happy life hospital only to find out the lady he carried had fallen asleep.she looked tired but very peaceful in her sleep.

He wished he could let her sleep but he was running late for his meeting with his staffs'.

And he couldn't tell his secretary to reschedule"..she had done that five consecutive times in 5days".

He tapped her gently which only made her stretch her body and return to her sleep.Which made her hair fall across her face

For some reason he wished time could just stop so he could savor the moment.

He had found her'..his missing rib. His father would be proud of him.

We are here'..she muttered sleepily.
Yes, I tried to wake you but you were so gone.

Thanks alot. she said as she removed her seatbelt and opened the door.

Not until she had disappeared he remembered the most important thing'..her number.He hadn't collected her number.
He put a call across his best friend Odion immediately. As he waited for response from the other end he put his car to a start'
Big man,howfar na.. Odion said excitedly

So I met this very good looking lady that I know is the one for me but I didn't get to collect her number he said to the phone which was on loudspeaker.

What about her name?he asked

I dont know either'..
Where did you meet her?
He explained in details of how he met her without leaving anything out.
Okay'...I will get back to you he said as he hung up .

He knew he could count on odion as he was the best private investigator in town and had done lots of work for him in time past'
*********
Wow,she is so beautiful both sisters said at same time like they had planned it.

They couldn't stop gushing over Aishat'.

But she isn't a Christian "..Pamela had said .

I don't think that counts when it comes to love.

Not like I care anyway,as long as she makes him happy

Pamela said placing the flask inside her handbag.
I do not either.. It only mum and dad am worried
about.Especially our mother,you know how she can be'.

Well you are right Akpos but we can't conclude for them.let's just see how far their love take them.
******
She inserted the simcard inside her phone after removing the previous one. She had bought the sim earlier.An attempt to start all over.

She scrolled down to the contact she had saved with " Besti mi" and pressed the delete button.

The next thing she did was to delete all her messages'..she wanted nothing to remind her of her broken past.

She had particularly gotten the simcard because of her new admirer'.

She couldn't remember the last time she paid attention to any man but after pushing him away countless times she decided to give him a try.

It was quite embarrassing for him to call her through her sister's phone not like she didn't own one.

She slipped into the knee length dress Cassandra had given her which was Black in colour adorned with silver stones .With her hair styled beautifully and her feet in black heels she looked adorable.

she picked up her peach coloured clutch and headed out for her first date to start all over.

m sorry guys am very strong that's the reason for the delay.I will update soon.

Am really sorry for the late update.Is just that am now very busy.

chapter 7
He had gone halfway driving but he couldn't fathom why his mind couldn't get off her.
He didn't know why he had left her all by herself"

For crying out loud she isn't all by herself he tried to justify his actions. She is at the hospital and there are other persons there he shouted aloud like he was having a conversation .

He put the car to an halt to clear his mind.

Geez,what's happening to me he hit his wheel in frustration.

As if his hands had powers of their own as he turned his car back to the hospital direction and drove hastily like his life depended on it.
"This was definitely unlike him for the past 5years,he hadn't cared about anyone for God knows how long".

There he saw her fighting with sleep as head danced to a particular music to and fro.

"Go home" he said authoritatively .

He loved submissive women.His late wife was so submissive,she did his bidding and not hers.

Am not going. She wiped sleep off her eyes.

You and I know she needs to eat when she wakes up.So for that sake am ordering you to go home and prepare something'..or else the hospital would make provision for her food and you know how expensive and tasteless they are.

She frowned at realization.

Please watch over her for me,I'll be back before you know it.

He pretended like he had not heard and she left hastily.

She stopped the first taxi that drove her way and entered.

Airport road she said to the man before texting her brother who studied at Uniben the Hospital Cassy was and her room Number.
He tapped his sleeping beauty who had fallen asleep in the class and showed her the message his sister had just sent.

I need to be there he typed beneath it in order not to get caught talking in Mr Remi's class.

The Superstrict but boring lecturer who was a terror to everyone in the department.

I will go with you'..she typed back.

They had waited till after the class before running off skipping their remaining classes for the day'

Am sorry I got you involved in this.he apologised all lovingly when they were in the student shuttle.

Its fine,she placed her hand in his.Beside you didn't force me.she told him.

And you are finally going to meet Cassy altough not the way I planned.
She smiled again before saying I hope she'll like me.

**************
She jumped off from the sofa as she dashed for the kitchen.
Oh my God,she screamed as she put off the gas saving the pepersoup from drying up completely.

She had fallen asleep while waiting for the pepersoup to get ready'

She opened one of the cupboard's were foodflask were kept and brought out her favourite flask.

She placed the blue and silver flask as she poured in rice and pepersoup in it.

She dashed to the bathroom where she had her bath and a change of clothes.Settling for a black denim trouser with pink and white polka dotted chiffon.And at the side of her handbad laid her nursing uniform which was neatly folded.

Without applying any makeup on her face,she brushed her weavon and applied some oil on it
Before returning to the kitchen to pick up the flask.she ensured she had lock everywhere properly before leaving the compound.

She trekked to the main road where she stood under the sun sweating profusely slightly irritated by the unavailability of taxi.

She checked her wristwatch for as she hissed angrily.

Ransacking her handbag, she brought out her face towel gently dabing her face.

It was like God answered her prayer as a honda packed beside her.

Nextupdate Monday unfailingly.
