Please I beg you Jayce. Jayce: I have to go and I am sorry because there is nothing I can do about it at the moment. I just hope and pray that my transfer will be granted as soon as possible. Aria: Jayce please do not do this. I am not sure I will want it to happen this way for the both of us. Jayce: it hurts so much to see the one person you love, loving another man.

Aria: Ryan please, do not do this. We can still be friends even if I get mar...

Episode 5 I must have been in the room for close to two hours, lost in my own thoughts. I wasn’t crying anymore. A blank stare registered on my face. My door flew open suddenly, the sound of the door knob slapping the opposite wall jolted me back to reality. I must have been so carried away, I didn’t notice she had returned from work. She hasn’t undressed at all, she was still wearing her white three piece suit and trousers. It was her uniform She is a nurse, who runs her own maternity somewhere in the heart of Benin city. Her presence brought about another round of tears. I actually thought she was going to pet me, or at least listen to anything i had to say. But the look on her face told a different story. It was a look of indignation and outright disappointment. She stood there looking at me for a few seconds before she finally spoke “so you have started sleeping with those small small boys in church abi?” “Mummy i did not…..” ...

Episode 5 My house was a 5 minute drive from the church, We arrived in no time. The catechist jumped off the bike, with like a professional high jumper. The look on his face was one of excitement rather than anger, i couldn’t understand why. He banged repeatedly on the gate with so much vigor, as if he was trying to drive a nail through it with his bare palm. “Yes? Coming” , an obviously irritated voice replied from the compound. The gate flew open, and i was surprise to see Osas. How did he get home before me? I wondered. He too was bewildered to see me soaked in tears, with the catechist maintaining a firm grip on my hand, as if I was a criminal. “Goodevening sir” he muttered. “is your father at home?” The catechist queried….. yes but…… He interupted before Osas could finish the statement. He pushed him out of the way, and dragged me along, i was already sobbing uncontrollably. Osas locked the gate quickly, and ran af...

Continues Episode 4 We both turned around, and behold it was the catechist. He started walking menacingly towards us. I hid behind Ehis, and buried my head in his back. I was deeply ashamed. Reality had struck me. The catechist is a friend of our family, he and my dad were in the harvest commitee. He has always praised my dad for having well behaved children. I knew i was in big trouble, there was no way i was going to get out of this, at least not without some lashes from my father. The catechist tryed to snatch me away from Ehis’s back, but we kept turning him in circles. He grew angry, and slapped Ehis. Ehis stood motionless, holding his face in his palm, as the catechist snatched me from behind him. ” you prostitute, ashawo, so this is your mission in church abi?” He lifted his hands, and aimed a slap at my face. I shut my eyes tightly, anticipating the sting from the slap. It never came. After a few seconds, i slowly opened my eyes, and looked up. Ehis had inter...

He quickly took the next available bus to the house. Mr. Ejiofor: have you asked your mother what she did? Have you asked her before putting all the blame on me? He shouted. Ryan: whatever she may have done, is still not a good reason for you to raise your hands on her. I won’t support that Papa.

Episode 3 We Just kept looking at each other’s eyes, for the first time, i looked at him without turning my face away. He had really innocent eyes, his gaze was pure and directed, he barely blinked. For once, i noticed his pink thin lips, they looked so lovely . A part of me wanted to suck on them. He wasnt staring at my eyes anymore, his gaze was directed towards my lips, and sometimes he would stare down my cleavage. His eyes made me flutter inside. I felt weak and vulnerable. He moved his hands to my cheeks, gently brushing them. Cold shivers ran down my spine. I felt sweet and guilty inside. He pulled me closer and brought his face closer to mine. I closed my eyes as our lips touched. I felt my heart going numb. His kiss was passionate and slow, tasting every inch of my lips. I was scared to death, but i knew I did not want this to end. . It was my first kiss, something I dream of every night. Suddenly, he pulled his lips away from mine, got up and started apologising profuse...

EPISODE EIGHT. Mr. Ejiofor: but what is wrong with Ryan sending us some money?

I have kept quiet enough and on no account will he send money for house keep and you give all to Evelyn, Papa Addison’. Evelyn: isn’t that his responsibility to take care of the house? Or is he not next after his father? Mrs. Ejiofor: No it is not. It is our husband’s responsibility to take care of his own home and not frustrating his first child with what he is supposed to do. i agree that he hasn’t been paid his pension money that was why I never objected when he made it Ryan’s duty to take care of us but since he married you, you have also become my first son’s duty and you even hav...

One Wrong Turn……true Story…… Continues 2 The three of us eventually walked to a secluded part of the church. It was a building under construction. It would serve as accomodation for the parish priest once it is completed. I have never been inside the building before, i only see it from a distance. It was quite neat inside, not as littered with nails and plank as i would have thought. The planks were neatly arranged on pieces of blocks to form a kind of bench, it was as if it was a regular meeting point. I sat down comfortably, on one of the make shift benches, Ehis sat beside me. And Ruth sat on a different bench, st the other end of the room. She immediately brought out her phone and started playing temple run. Ehis focused all his attention on me, he communicated in a way that made me feel more comfortable with him. That was the day i got to know that he too was a student at uniben. He told me a lot about himself, and was genuinely interested in me. He asked a...

Aria, I know it is time I start talking about we starting a family but now is not the right time. I still have a lot of things on my mind that I need to sort out before that.

The car sped on as the three guys in the car conversed and kept smiling excluding the guy who sat with me @ the back,he was in real pains….I wondered why they had not given him medical attention too but I quickly deduced that they wanted to save as much time as possible…By now,i could sense the drivver was more relaxed as he drove……At this point,i was so messed up,i couldn’t hear what they were saying,i was somewhat glad I had fired the RPG but my inexperience was making me pay for it with pains all over my body….Funny enough,i was lying on the body of the dead guy but I w...
