CHAPTER 13
"SHOULD WE KISS?"

As Inspired by the Living WORD.

Layo was still seated on the field, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees. She continued to travel back to weeks earlier like Mrs Helen had advised.  The flashbacks continued on its own.

Coincidentally, her thoughts travelled back to exactly what Jide had been sharing with Nina. The point where it literally started... Just after Mrs Lydia had used them as her examples...

*****
She remembered slumping deeper into her seat, hiding her face behind her notebook as though that could shield her from the teasing.

Amaka leaned closer, her teasing smile unmistakable. She nudged Layo playfully with her elbow.

“Well, I must say, Mrs. Lydia’s example was... quite fitting,” Amaka said, her voice low and mischievous.

Layo shot her a glare... “Ah-ah! Very funny,” she muttered, rolling her eyes in mock irritation.

Amaka’s smile widened, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “If you ask me, I’d say this is a good thing.”

“A good thing?” Layo’s tone was skeptical. She dropped her notebook onto the desk... “It’s embarrassing enough that I got called out in class, and now Mrs. Lydia made an example of me and Jide?”

Amaka leaned in even closer, dropping her voice into an exaggerated whisper. “Exactly. You and your crush were used in a romantic scenario. That’s fate, my dear.”

“Romantic what? Please stop,” Layo said, shaking her head in exasperation.

Amaka giggled, clearly enjoying the moment far too much. “Look, you should be thanking Mrs. Lydia,” she continued conspiratorially. “Jide’s seeing you in a whole new light now.”

Despite herself, Curiosity got the better of her, and she sneaked a glance in Jide’s direction. Sure enough, he was watching her. His lips curled into a playful half smile, and her heart gave an involuntary skip. She quickly turned back to her notebook, embarrassed.

******
BACK TO PRESENT 

At the Same time in the Auditorium, Jide was feeding Nina exactly what she wanted.

“The sparks were there,” he admitted, his voice tinged with fondness. “Everything seemed to be pulling us together. But, funny enough, Mrs Lydia's example kind of made her withdraw from me. You know how some girls act...when they like a boy, they sort of pull back.”

Nina raised a brow, leaning forward with intrigue. Her eyes sparkled as she flashed him a knowing smile.

“Well, not all girls are like that,” she said, her voice soft and deliberate, dripping with seduction.

“Audacious girls like me go for what we want. In the past, I never really saw what I wanted... but that’s about to change.”

She let her words linger intentionally...her intent clear. 

Then, as if to lighten the mood, she flashed a sly smile.

“But we’re not talking about me now,” Nina said, her tone smooth and teasing. “Let’s talk more about you. How did you move from the crush zone? Or did you never get past there? After all, that teacher practically handed you a golden opportunity on a platter. Smart guys would have used it as an entry point.”

Jide smiled. He had to prove to her he is a smart guy. 

“Well, it wasn’t long before circumstances pulled us together again,” he replied, his voice holding a hint of pride. “And this time, I was pretty smart about it.”

Nina laughed lightly...

 “Oh Really! Tell me your smart moves” she teased, watching him carefully.

Jide leaned back slightly, his smile softening as he met Nina’s gaze. She wasn’t just making small talk...there was an edge to her words, a deliberate strategy behind her flirtation... He could sense it. 

Nina knew exactly what she was doing. With each question and every shared laugh, she was slowly pressing deeper, pulling Jide further into the lust laced conversation. The door to his heart had cracked open, and she was determined to step inside.

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...

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...
