CHAPTER 11
"SHOULD WE KISS?"
© Opeyemi Akintunde
As Inspired by the Living WORD

Nina’s Probing question had sent him back to two weeks back… he remembered how alive the classroom had been and though they were about 15 in class, it felt like it was just him and Layo that were in class as Layo who sat a few rows ahead couldn’t resist glancing over her shoulder at him.  He also, though he sat with his two friends; Paul and Chinedu was stealing glances at her.

Chinedu was the first to notice Layo’s glances, nudging Paul with a knowing smirk. “Speaking of staring,” he teased, “Layo can’t keep her eyes off Mr. Handsome over here.”

Jide frowned, trying to appear indifferent, but his lips betrayed him as it broke into a tiny smile“What? Nah, nothing like that,” he said, brushing off the comment.

Paul leaned in, grinning mischievously. “What what? Come on, Oga, do you like her or not?”

Jide laughed, shaking his head. “Fashi abeg.”

Paul wasn’t convinced. “Look at him, Chinedu. He’s blushing! Oga is catching feelings.”

“Fashi abeg,” Paul mimicked, his voice a playful echo of Jide’s. “‘I’m not into her...’ Yeah, right.”

Despite his protests, Jide couldn’t help but steal another glance at Layo. She seemed completely absorbed in her notes, oblivious to their banter. A small, secretive smile tugged at his lips.

Back to Present – Inside the Auditorium

Nina noticed the distant look in Jide’s eyes, the way his smile softened as though he were savoring a sweet memory.

“I don’t believe you,” Nina said softly. Her voice was gentle but insistent. “Your eyes tell me something else. It’s either there was a thing in the past... or you wish for something in the future. Am I right?”

( Brief Info,...Have you watched the recently released movie adaptation of UNHEALED... In just less than 2 days , we have 20k plus views. This is God's Grace ...have you had time to watch and recommend to others? If not what are you waiting for?? Head to Y0utube @DEEP THOUGHTS TV )

Jide sighed, his small smile lingering. “Well... there was a ‘was,’” he admitted.

Nina saw a break... “Oh my, what happened? What’s the story?”

Jide had an hesitant look, it was clear he was debating how much to share. Nina didn’t back down.

“Come on, Jide. We’re on break. Let’s talk about something other than Biology,” she pressed with a sly grin. “Let’s discuss the chemistry of the heart... your heart. What went wrong?”

Jide hesitated, his gaze shifting once more toward the door. Finally, he let out a small laugh, scratching his full hair. “Okay... I’ll summarize,” he said, his tone lighter. “We’re street neighbors and classmates, but we never really talked. Honestly, I’ve always had a crush on her. And I think, well... maybe she felt the same.” 

He laughed lightly, a touch of nostalgia in his voice. “Funny thing is, I’d always time myself to come out when she threw the trash, just so I could see her face—even though I saw her every day in class.”

Nina’s smile widened. “Awwnn... that’s so cute. So, what actually got you two talking?” Unlike Zino she was holding a much longer conversation with her own subject. With the established Conversation, Jide had opened the door of his heart to her, and as soon as she gained more entrance into it, she could do more to the state of his heart and eventually his life.

She needed to go harder…

“Come on, tell me how you both started talking!”

Jide’s smile softened as he drifted further into his memories.

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
