Noodles, Oats, or Bread? I had to make a choice. I grabbed the Oats and immediately made a meal. 7:45AM!!! Now Dare would have my head for his own breakfast. I hurried downstairs and flung the gate open. “Hi D.” Jake said, as I stepped out. I smiled. My Guardian Angel. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “Waiting for you.” I raised an eyebrow. “Are you kidding me? You don’t always have to wait for me.” “I can’t let you walk the streets on your own. Come in.” he said, opening the door. I stared at him till he gestured to the car. “Come on ...

episode 48 KP and Dora were having lunch in the garden. They looked happy. At least, that’s what I think I saw. “Did you guys go to church?” I asked as I approached them. “We did. Please join us for lunch.” KP offered. I smiled faintly. “I have a lot to do. Have fun guys.” I replied. Dora didn’t say a word as she returned to her lunch. “Hi Dora” “Hi sis.” She replied quietly. I probed her with my look. “Are you alright?” “Yes, I am good” she replied with a quick nod. I shrugged and walked away. I immediately turned on my laptop and sent a message to the manager of the hotel where I intended to lodge Sameer. In the spirit of Muslim festive season, Sameer had insisted in wearing his turban into the country. I was trying to hide him from Chidi Obi’s guys. He wouldn’t bulge.

Episode 16 . . Nike moved in with Vanessa that weekend she couldn’t wait any longer to be with her imaginary lover. It was obvious Francis loved her she thought considering the way he addresses her like sunshine, beauty, dear and lots more, she had never heard him address Van that way. She wouldn’t even allow him to fall in love with a lunatic- wait what was wrong with Nike, why would she refer to her best friend as a lunatic that would make her believe what the other tenant said to be through and of would make matters worse. But then I was the nicest to this young man why would he think of falling for someone that rejected him. Jude ended the relationship few weeks ago because he thought she was lame and believed she was his badluck so he needed space to fix himself but then she got a mouth watering job weeks later- he was probably her bad luck. Nike continued ruminating until footsteps approaching the living room brought her back to the present. She looked up from t...

episode 47 “You are welcome to church.” An Usher greeted as I stepped into the ‘House of God’. Pastor Ben, the church parishioner was standing in the alley. He greeted me with a warm smile. “Hello Darlene” “You age slowly Pastor Ben.” I said full of commendation.

And I’d rather you call her my sister.” I replied with my tongue out. He smiled. “I always knew you would be this tough. Accepting a step sister as a ‘sister’ is tough.” He said, patting me on the shoulder. He stared hard ahead of me with a great deal of surprise in his eyes. “I see you brought a ‘lost sheep’ along.” I turned round to see Jake. He was wearing grey pants, pink checked shirt and a black shoe. Jake looked funny trying to...

••• Gina’s p.o.v The doctor laid more emphasis on the sedative drug among the drugs he prescribed, he said Ben woke up too early and need to sleep more for the first week so as to avoid future complications. I made sure I added two capsules as the doctor instructed to the drugs I gave to him for usage. After little chit chat, he finally black out. Seeing him sleep was one of the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. He didn’t look like someone who just woke from coma, he looked like he’s been healthy for many days ago. I traced his lips with my index finger as I felt the urge to kiss him but fought hard to resist it. I remembered that we almost kissed earlier if not for the interruption made by Tabitha. ” looks like it isn’t an unrequited love after all” I said to myself smiling as I pecked his cheek. My plan for us to move out of the country had been placed on hold because of how he woke up two weeks ago. My dad said he doe...
