[quote author=angelliza post=60154851][/quote]Wow September queen like me.Hbd in advance love

Happy new month Dearie's

My own birthday month,You all should prepare my presents o.I rep 29th



Onome

I woke up at midnight feeling uneasy,I had slept in mum's room in her insistence though it was no problem since dad was barely around. My eyes flew to the bedside clock which read 12:30.I stood up lazily and headed for the kitchen..I was thirsty and mum had no water in her room freezer.
The noise I heard hastened my footsteps.I saw Jessica sitting at the bar drunk~talking.

Jess,are you okay? I asked concerned.

But there was no response from her.I moved closer to her and asked again and surprisingly she replied.

Leave me all..I hate you so much.

Hearing those words from my twin hurt so bad but I didn't bother, after all she was drunk and it was the drink talking not her.

I tried to take the glass of her hands but she slapped me and spat on my face.

Embarrassed I ran to my new room were I broke down uncontrollably.

I didn't know when I fell asleep but was woken up by my worried mother.

Honey what's wrong? We slept together and I woke up without you on the bed.Aren't you going to work today?she asked concerned.

Oh no..jeez.what time is it?I asked after searching for my phone which I had forgotten I left in mum's room

Few minutes after 7..mum replied still giving me that worried look.

My goodness..I flew to the bathroom and ran a quick bath.

**************
Ehis had dropped me off since my car was still at the repairs.He had come in for dinner on my insistence.we sat in the living room and chatted while we waited for mum special delicacy.

Close your eyes he demanded..

And why should I?I asked rolling my eyes.

No wonder..you look stubborn.Close your eyes Jo.He teased

I pouted my lips and did as I was told.

I could feel him placing a necklace on my neck.
You can now open your eyes he said

I opened my eyes and took my miror from my handbag and what I saw rendered me speechless.it was a silver necklace with it's pendant embedded with "Mariposa"

Dont u like it? he had asked when I said nothing

What are you saying??I love it,its beautiful. Thank you dear.I said staring at it.

That's not how a good girl says thank you he said unsmiling.

So how does a good girl say thank you? I asked.

Do you want me to teach you?

Without waiting for another word from him,I encircled my hands around him and rested my head on his shoulder.

So this is what you've been doing?

Somehow the owner of that voice was my nightmare.. I stared at the now lean figure of David who stared daggers at me.

Since I travelled to the village you never cared nor called to hear how my mum was fairing.. What kind of lady are you?Is that how much you hate me?and just to crown it you are flirting. Ehis was fast enough to hold his hand which had almost landed on my face.

Don't you dare hit my woman..

Who would have thought you would earn up with a LovePeddler like this Ehis?this lady is up to no good..Jessica said clapping her hands.

Maybe our voices had brought her down from her room..

Jessica this should be the very last time you say anything nasty about her.I might do something we won't like forgetting you are her sister.

Please calm down..please I managed to say

David am sorry I never called or texted, that is because I am done with you. I have never loved you,and I had tried putting up with you because you saved my life from those rapists that night.But am done trying.Am sorry I have to end it this way,but please leave my life alone,stop manipulating my life..I want to breath my own air.

And you jessica.,I turned to my twin

Haven't Raymond mentioned to you he used me first hu?because I know he never loved you..A man wouldn't cheat on a lady he loves, at least not before marrying her.He claimed to love you,yet he chases after everything under a skirt..Is that love?get it into your big skull we were both used by him.And for your information I thought you two were done..I can never chase after another woman's man.We were used,grow up sister!.


Jessica battled with her tears,embarrassed she ran upstairs.

After all I did for you. You will regret this he said and left

Am sorry she said to Ehis whose eyes trailed after David.

You don't have to be sorry honey,you don't deserve those hurtful words.

He pulled her into his arms and pecked her forehead.

I ended it in suspense for the readers to conclude it based on their own ideas.

Am really sorry I haven't drop any update.Am going through some stuffs,and I need time to fix myself before I can type a thing or two.

Thank u all

Dedicated to my sweetheart Bright whose birthday is today.


perfect match

She made herself comfortable on her seat as she watched the display of the other intending passengers as they struggled to have their way inside the coaster bus .The sky was threatening as it gave signals of raining anytime'.The bus in which she sat seemed to be the only available bus as others where either occupied or ready to hit the road.

The show had come to an end when the driver started the engine.She tapped the play button of her phone slowly nodding to the rhythm of the music from her earphone but soon stopped as her eyes caught the attention of the old lady standing beside her due to unavailability of seat.

She stood up only for a quick dude to take her seat.Angrily she tapped him and shouted her lungs out for him to get out.But he surprised her by saying just four syllabic words

"U have craze ba"

Not minding her ranting. He stood up and got back to his standing position,while the old lady claimed the seat after showering so much appreciation to the young lady.
Surprisingly they highlighted the bus at the same bustop.without wasting much time he approached her and asked for her number.
What the nerve??she said staring daggers at him.

Instead of backing out as she had expected, he returned her gaze,stretching forth his phone.

Awwed by his audacity, she collected his phone punched in her digits and left without giving him another glance.

He never called,nor texted like she had expected.. not until 2weeks.

On a Thursday, on her birthday he sent her a text.

"Was amazed when you shouted at me..And I admit I liked it because for the very first time a girl stood up to me.will call you later..Happy birthday"

How did he know?she asked no one in particular..she smiled knowing it was the Beginning of something new with mystery guy.

The end.

Jessica
Tobi and I became inseparable since we were always found together. Whenever madam wasn't around, he assisted me with all the chores.When I had told him I was a lover of book,he bought me numerous storybooks of which I read whenever I was alone. One Saturday,while reading at my favorite spot at the garden,he blindfolded my eyes with his palms..I smiled while I struggled to pull his strong palms away'

What happened to you?were are your parents..why work as a maid?
He asked when he had gotten a seat beside me.
Those questions brought tears to my eyes instantly as I sobbed uncontrollably'
Worried by my reaction, he brought my lips to his and kissed me.
It was the wrong timing,but also my first and best kiss.
The sensation I felt over my body made me give in totally allowing the novel fall off my lap.
I broke the kiss and ran off a few minutes later,realizing my place in the house..I was a nobody'

I didn't see Tobi for a couple of days only to be told by gateman he had traveled back to school when I asked unable to contain my fear'
I was beyond heartbroken but had decided to let it slide..maybe he realised I wasn't meant for him.
I just couldn't understand my connection with him,but I found myself crying to sleep on daily basis.
Just when I had least expected, Tobi walked inside my room one evening.
When did you get back?I asked quite surprised.
Without answering,he advanced towards me and laid his head beside my neck..I became weak beyond my control.
He started by kissing my neck,earlobe..then nose and just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore he kissed my lips.His hands roaming all over my body'..it was intense.
That night I lost it to him but never regretted'.
Our relationship blossomed for a year... He was very romantic and made sure I lacked nothing. We loved each other beyond words..he had promised to finance my education and had registered me for jamb before he left for school.
But all my hopes got dashed when he died in an accident'..the car had collided with a truck loaded with drinks.
I watched my madam wail screaming her lungs out but little did she know the pain I felt was more.
She had other children, but he was everything I got.
Unable to bear the bittersweet memories I ran away"
At that time,I had enough money to rent a room and feed myself before getting another job.
All thanks to Tobi who had opened a savings account for me and had paid me 1Othousand continuously on weekly basis .With my salary I saved from my madam I was good to go.

I had wanted giving up on school but couldn't for the sake of Tobi.That was all he wanted while he was alive..he always talked about getting me educated and pursuing my dream of been a mass communist.

Fortunately I passed my jamb, and applied for postume.

I couldn't forget that day because I met another reason to smile again!
"Tara"

She was a girl from a wealthy home,whose parents had little or no time from her because of their busy schedules. Very lively and fun to be with'

We bonded on that very thay after our exams,and we exchanged numbers.

I was surprised when she actually paid me a visit as promised not minding the dump area I lived'..we chatted like long lost friends and she took me out for new clothes.

I was overwhelmed by her kindness..and was ready to do anything to remain her friend.

I told her everything about myself on my second visit to her house..and she cried with my like a sister.

When we both gained admission although her parents had worked hers'.

She made me move in with her in her apartment ,treated me like blood and even convinced her parents to pay my fees.

I never lacked a thing..that when she started making advances towards me at the end of second semester I couldn't say NO.I never knew she was a les..but not wanting to go back to my miserable life I did whatever she wanted.

I meant Raymond on our final year dinner night..he had come with his friend for some lady..

We bonded immediately under the jelouse eyes of"Tara"

She warned me..and did almost everything to stop my relationship with him but I refused.

And there was nothing she could do especially when I got a modelling contract from "Perils".. to advertise their every product.

But because of all she had done for me..I agreed to double date'

Even when I kept hearing rumours of who he was'..I had decided to ignore due to the fact he was everylady's dream man.

Maybe they wanted him for themselves.

A year ago,I bumped into my foster father in the market...he screamed in excitement giving me a tight embrace..I couldn't help but cry with him.

He later mentioned they lost their only son to brain tumor 2years back and had relocated to Nigeria.

I was heartbroken and I felt their pain..even with what my foster mother did'

I wasn't mad at her for I knew she wasn't my biological mother.

I visited them to their astonishment.. and watched my Forster mother beg in tears.

The truth was I had forgiven her a long time ago..but I never mentioned to them what I went through.

It was one of those visits..A woman showed up with my parents as they claimed,pleading to accept them back.

I had ran out of the house..but she had showed up again with my twin in my own apartment.

I didn't know why I couldn't forgive them..probably because they caused me all my pain..Because of them I never had that motherly love and attention. I slept under bridge for days..went hungry and fell sick for nobody to cater for.

I became a lesbian against my own wish to put body and soul together..nobody ever thought of the fact I desired my mother's " affection"

And I watch my twin..enjoying life to fullest after taking everything from me even to my man".

vivienD:
At a point i got confused when Jessica was remembering her past..

ThankGod..u are now on track.

Gloryejims:
Thanks Blair


Keep it coming

Thank u dr

Thank u for the comments.

Jessica
I couldn't help the tears that made their ways out of my eyes'..I quickly took a step back to prevent them from knowing I had been there.If only they knew all I had been through,just maybe they wouldn't judge me like that.

I was jelouse of all the love she showered my twin.I watched her worried she had been when Onome didn't show up at the expected time and got drenched.

Unable to hold it anymore I ran to Onome's room that I had converted to mine reminiscing about my bitter experiences.

Dad,where is mum?have she given birth..I asked happily not knowing my life in Paradise was about to end.

She is in her ward now..you can go see her dad said cheerfully.

I ran as much as my legs could carry me to my parents ward'

I kissed my babybro and hugged my mum who pushed me away'

Mum what's wrong?I asked innocently.

You evil child stay away from me..

I was shocked to here those words from my mum,the woman I thought could die for me..

I cried the whole day..all dad's effort to calm me down was fruitless.

Every blessed day,I got to see the other side of her. She maltreated and made me feel worthless.

My mistake was asking her why I had to stop highschool'..I could remember how she beat me mercilessly calling me a sold property from the womb of a poverty stricken animal'

She called me names I fought so hard to forget..

And alas dad took me to the airport,leaving me with just the names of my real parents and home address.

Dad never wanted all that to happen but mum kept pushing him to throw me out...I could see unshed tears in his eyes'.

If u aren't able to locate them,have this..he said and hugged me tightly.

We cried before we parted.

I was only 13"

I arrived at Nigeria a naive girl..as dad had told them I was leaving for a vacation for them to allow me.But deep down I knew it was the end.

I went in search for my parents With the address dad had given me...but no one knew a thing about them.

With tears I went to the orphanage home.Life there was hell..everything seemed new to me ,I just couldn't get along no matter how I tried.

Age 17,I ran away one cold morning to no destination in mind.

I had just concluded sec school,fortunately while moving about I saw a symbol of house help needed at a front of a large gate.

I took the bold steps and knocked

The gateman opened and asked what I wanted.I told him my intention and he ushered me in.

After endless interrogations,I was considered for the job

I started as a live in maid.I did my job wholeheartedly until he came.

"Tobi"

I was a very reserved girl until I met him.My madam's last child.He was schooling in one of those private universities and had come home for break..

He was breathtakingly handsome,chocolate in complexion and every lady's dream. For the first time I was attracted to a guy'..but knowing my place in the house I buried my feelings for him although I caught him staring at me countless times.

I got back to normal when he left for school only for him to come back 4months later.

Surprisingly he got a gift for me..for the first time in years someone actually gave me something.

I was overjoyed, we became friends against my own wish for fear of getting my madam angry'

But Tobi sweared to protect me....


Its short I know...but better than nothing.Goodnight sweet people.

Thanking you for your comments,I know the update is short..am kinda busy.Just decided to drop something for
Sal jay sake.Before I forget sal jay the episode is dedicated to you..

Onome
I just couldn't stop smiling.. The kiss was mind blowing.How could someone's first kiss be that good?the connection and electric I felt all over my body was something else. I was no virgin,I had kissed 2other men but it have never felt that good and special.I felt drown to him..I unconsciously touched my lips wishing it was gonna be forever.
I walked inside the gate..tightly embracing myself.I knew I was already catching a cold"...all thanks to my stubbornness.
I saw mum waiting in the balcony,hands akimbo with that worried look and questioning eyes'

Her position made me reminisced my last year in high school.There was an heavy downpour that made us stay back after we dismissed...I waited back with other students only for mum to show up with an umbrella with her car parked at the schoolgate'

I could remember the funnystares I got from students.It earned me the title"mummy's girl".I was super embarrassed.



Baby,what happened? Are you alright.Your number was never reachable

Mum am fine,just cold .

Where is your car?why didn't you wait for the rain to stop?..look at you...you look sick child.,she said scrutinising me.

Am fine mum..my car broke down. I got a ride with a friend.


Okay..I will call my mechanic to fix it for you.But you should have called me.Let's go in..get a warm bath alright,I will prepare cornflakes for you.


Thanks mum,I gave her my sweetest smile.My mum's only problem was she cared too much.

We climbed the stairs..while I headed for my room,she went towards the direction of the kitchen.

I had the most unexpected surprise

"Jessica"

I was happy.. She had finally decided to come home,but the disdain in her eyes made me stop halfway.

Hi I muttered,not knowing what exactly to say.

Her bags had occupied the place of my suitcases and mine lieng helplessly on the floor.She must have read my thoughts,as she stood up and catwalked to my side.

You must be wondering why your stuffs are on the floor..well if you must know,am taking this room.Simply because I love the decor and it suit my taste.Am sure they are other available rooms you can pack you stuffs and get out this minute.

I wasn't mad..I was rather glad she had decided to give us a chance.I was just surprised mum never mentioned it earlier.

Thank you,I muttered and walked out.

I had asked the maid to pack my stuffs to the next available room..the decor was no problem.I could call someone to do it over the weekend.

I ran a shower quickly and rummaged my suitcase.. Clad in a pink sweater and black Knickerbocker with my hair in a bun,phone in hand..I went downstairs.

I met mum placing my dinner on the kitchen dinning.

Mum,you didn't mention anything about Jessica.I said when our eyes had met.

Am sorry, I didn't know how to start.She came few minutes after you left for work with her lugages.I was glad to see her but...her voice trailed off.

Mum what did she do to you?what did she say?

I was surprised at the venom in my voice..but I knew,mum was all my all.Jess could do anything she want with me but not with my mother'

Don't worry hon..she will come around.
No mum,I want to know.

It nothing, just some hurtful words.And as for your room,am very sorry. I promise to call my decor to redocorate your new room to your taste.

Don't worry mother,I can handle it.

vivienD:
Biko who is David

The guy she was dating that manipulated everything about her...but had travelled to meet his sick mother in the village.

Am sorry guys..the network has been bad .I had to sleep and wake up.

Onome

I had been sitting in the confrence room for 2hours delibrelating with my colleagues for a contract which wasnt forthcoming but they seemed too blind to see.Atlas my prayers were answered the board meeting had been postponed. The recent happenings in my life had made me loss concentration on my job.I wished for the umpteenth time everything would be alright.My mind kept drifting to Ehis,I missed him though. I had known him for a few days but a part of me was already affected by his absence.All I wanted was for my sis to accept us in her life..love could wait.

The vibration on my phone interrupted my thoughts .
"Am coming back next week".

Fear ran down my spine as I read the message again.

Another trouble on my part.. David was coming back.

Ehimare

I waited patiently for her in my car,I knew she was coming out anytime soon .I had missed her terribly,I hadn't seen her in 3days.
" Mariposa".
My mouth flew open when I saw her,she was looking more beautiful but distressed as well.
Something wasn't well at all.
I came out as fast as I could

What are you doing here?she asked without staring me a glance..hastening her footsteps.

I want to talk to you,you've refused picking my calls.. At least hear me out first.

Am not intreasted.

Mariposa"

She entered her car and zoomed off.

No..I wasn't going to let her go like that,I wanted my sleep and peace of mind.3days without her has been hell.

I waited for her to drive out before following suit.

After a few minutes,I watched her come down pacing around furiously.The cloud had gathered, there was no doubt it was going to rain in few
I knew her car must have broken down,I came down and went to her aid.

Smiling mischievously I asked'
You need help?
No I don't. She replied coldly dailing the number mechanic.

Come on Mariposa,before your mechanic get here you are definitely gonna get drenched.

None of your business.

I walked back to my car and rested on it..thankfully there was no vehicle on the road.

After few minutes, It started to rain heavily,I pleaded with her to get Inside my car but she refused.I never knew she could be that stubborn. I pulled my jacket and placed it over her.
But she brushed it away'..seeing her angry even made her more beautiful '

I couldn't let her get drenched.. So I did the unthinkable. Before I could say jack'..I fastened my lips on hers.It was embarrassing to admit I was kissing a lady for the first time.But my tongue knew the way in and out..I her lips tasted sweater than I had even imagined.I pulled away after sometime breathing heavily but surprisingly she wrapped her hands over my neck..allowing me to explore her mouth.The rain was now heavy didn't seem to bother us...I felt fulfilled hugging her after the kiss.Her clothes were stucked to her body'..making me lust after her shamelessly.

She followed me to the car thereafter,I explained everything to her and atlas she believed me.

I wasn't distant because I thought you betrayed me,there's been so much going on in my life recently'

What exactly Mariposa?

Am a twin...I could see unshed tears in her eyes.

You're a twin?How come.I asked suprised

She brushed her falling hair behind her ears and cleared her throat..while all my attention was focused on her.

Am a twin Ehis, mum and dad sold my twin while we were babies because they weren't able to cater for us and my twin was the weaker one.

What??my goodness.I held her hands in mine..and urged her to continue

I was shocked,I knew that feeling. And when she told me it was Jessica I was speechless.

I know jess,she wasn't stone hearted.All she needed was time.

I pulled her to my arms,while she sobbed louder.

The world was such a small place.I didn't want her catching cold..so I took her home.

I had pulled in front of her house,when we got lost staring at each other.

She was everything I wanted..and I wasted no time before spilling the words.

Be my girl'..I can't promise not to hurt you but I will make you happy..

She was quiet for what seemed like ages.

I know now is the wrong timing considering ur family issues..but am always gonna be here if you aren't ready'

Yes.

I had thought I heard her wrongly'

You sayI asked again.

I said yes!I will be your lady are you deaf she shouted.

I couldn't help but laugh as we hugged.she looked more Beautiful when upset.

We shared a quick kiss and I went out to open the door as the gentleman I was.

Take care Mariposa.

Call me when you get home she said walking in.

I drove home like the happiest man alive smiling sheepishly.

vivienD:

Goodevening my people??how una dey.I wrote this since morning.Have been quite busy to post that's all.

Ehimare
Mum!I exclaimed. She was looking more fleshy than the last time I saw her..her light skin glowing as usual.Truthfully I hadn't set my eyes on her for 6months,since the last time she invited a pastor over to conduct deliverance for me not having a girlfriend or any intentions for marriage. But today I had come on my sister's insistence to make mum happy.

Omome(my child)she said hugging me tightly

Mummy',you're looking good.Dad is doing a good job I teased.

Osenobuan,finally you have decided to come home.

Mum,let's leave that aside,am really famished here I said rubbing my stomach.
Your sister and her friend are in the kitchen,that reminds me that girl is very beautiful and can make for a good wife why dont you..

Mum please I cut her short.Not again.

What exactly are you scared of?you are 34,well to do.just what do you want..if you want your wedding to be the talk of the town so be it,am reading to do anything.Just go out there and pick any lady of your choice.I want to see my grandchildren,all my mates have grandchildren except me.

Mummmmm.just stop,okay fine.There's someone I love,all I need is just time to make it right with her.

You mean you love someone, mum smilled happily.

Yes mum..but give me time.My mind went to
my heartbeat "Mariposa". I hadn't spoken to her in days,she had refused picking my calls and seeing me but I wasn't giving up until she hears me out.

Hi bro,my sis greeted with ESE who seemed to be avoiding my gaze.

Lil sis what's up?hi ESE can I have a word with you?I said to her when I noticed how uncomfortable my presence was to her.

We moved to the balcony before I asked her what was wrong.

Nothing.. It just you promised to make it up to me and you never did since then.

Am sorry about that,have been really busy but If it's okay with you.. Can we go out after lunch?we could go to any place of your choice.
Yea..There's this movie they are showing tonight and I would love to watch it..her mood had lightened.

That's great,movie it is then.


We went back inside when mum started complaining the food was getting cold.

Onome

After What my parents told me,I tried as much as I can not to act awkward around them.Especially mum who was depressed about the whole thing.I wasn't mad at them,I knew the kind of parents I had..they were the type that could do anything for a child.And the situation they found themselves was what they couldn't handle..there was no reason to harbour anger towards them.Somehow I found myself smiling at the thought of a sister,SoI talked to mum about us going to convince her further,just maybe she could accept knowing her desperately I want to be in her life.

All through the ride mum was crying,I could handle anything but not seeing my mum cry.I put the car to an halt at the side of the road and held her hands.

Mum,you dont have to be scared.Am here for you.. I know you made a mistake of which you had no choice,You didn't want to watch her die so you gave her to safer hands although there was a money exchange. We are going to explain to her and If she fails to understand we'll give her time .But I want you to put yourself together and I promise you,no matter how things turn out am here for you.

She envoloped me in a hug while I patted her back.I turned on the ignition when I noticed she was better



Pull over,the next gate is her's.

I parked the car and ensured it was locked before going in with mum.

My eyes wandered around the compound, It seemed preety cool.Though they were lots of flats in it..I wondered why she wasn't staying with her supposed parents and why did she return anyway??I took a deep breath as my supposed sister came out on a towel..it was obvious she just had a shower.

My mouth flew open

"Jessica"

You?she screamed.

Please dont tell me this is my suppose twin'..she said to no one in particular with disgust in her eyes".
You two no each other?mum asked me.

Yeah mum,I do know her.Images of the day she humiliated played in my head.

Get the hell out of here both of you'..she said and slammed the door to our faces.

Jessica please you've got to listen to our explanation... I beg you. Even if you hate me,please give mum a chance..I promise you she'll be the best mum you'v ever had.

All my pleas were turned deaf ears as she never opened up.

I turned to see mum crying.

Mum it okay I promise,let's just give her time.

The ride back home was quite,no movement was made..I know we were both fighting with our thoughts..how on earth should I have known jess was my twin! The first day I saw her,I had wanted to be in her shoes..be the woman for Raymond! That bastard I cursed.So we actually loved one man....the world was such a small place.

*********
If there's one thing you should do jess is to use this opportunity to fight back, she stole your man from you,and because of her you never got the opportunity to know your real parents..dont you think you should put her in her place instead of crying over spilled milk.

Her girlfriend advised.

It not that easy baby,Is just so hard to believe.I so hate that girl right now,I wish I could strangle her to death.

You got to take charge here..move into that house and take your rightful position.
Uhmm..I will think about it.

There's nothing to think about..come here baby' she smacked her on her buttocks.

Stop turning me on ,am in no mood for i t jess said standing up.

Ehimare
I walked 'Mariposa'back to her office,If it were left for me I wouldn't mind spending the whole day with her but she had to return back to work.
Thanks for spending your lunch break with me,It was awesome.I told her.
I should be thanking you instead she said smiling sweetly.

Her secretary interrupted our moment and informed her she had an appointment.

Appointment? I thought I had none till 2pm she said staring at her wristwatch.

Yes ma,but I just fixed one since it very important. Am sorry ma.

Yes ma..she said and left.

I got the message and gave her a brief hug.

Thanks again I said.

Call me when you are at your office

I will.

I opened the door and met Raymond been led by Mariposa's secretary.. Was he the appointment she was talking about? He stopped when he saw me with a questioning look.

What are you doing here?he asked waving the secretary off.

I should be asking you that ,I said with a clenched fist.What did he want again?was he not satisfied breaking her heart,what kind of man was he?


Well If you wanna know..I came to see my girlfriend but I must warn you to stay clear from her,there are thousands of fishes out there we don't have to share one.

He made to walk away but I held him back.

Am not letting you in there,I won't sit back and watch you hurt the woman I love the third time..it's either you walk away or I will do something we'll both regret.

Bravo!I thought you were my best friend but I never knew you went behind my back hitting on my lady'..

I wanted to say something but stopped when I saw Mariposa staring at us with surprise written all over her face.

I can explain

You two no each othershe asked confused.

Yes,His m shameless best friend.,look I don't know what lies his been telling you about me but I can explain 'Mine' let talk about 'us'.Raymond said moving closer to her.


Mariposa look,I want you to calm down let me explain everything please.

I told you everything,You acted like you knew nothing ..covering your friend tracks.I thought I could confide in you..how dare you pretend to me.You two should get the hell outta this premises before I call the security on you...and I don't ever want to see your faces again.

I could see the tears hanging in her eyes..I knew I had hurt her but I was only waiting for the right time to tell her.
Mariposa don't...

Just shut the hell,I was stupid for trusting you she said and walked out of me .

The last thing I would have wanted was falling for my bestfriend ex but we could never tell the heart who to love.And for that I was gonna protect her from getting hurt even if she hates me for it.I took a glance at my friend who was becoming a stranger and left.

Onome
After my encounter with those 'two',the rest of the day was bad although I tried not to act unprofessional while handling my remaining assignment for the day.
After work,I drove to the beach Ehis had taken me the day before.I couldn't understand the peace I found there.I pulled of my shoes and blazer placed them at the passenger seat and left after ensuring my car was locked.

I let my feet enjoy the romance from the water wishing my life was as peaceful as the evening breeze..Recently everything seemed to be falling apart,I thought been that reserved lady was gonna save me from headaches but I was wrong. I felt broken not because of Raymond but for Ehis who betrayed me..To think that I always felt secured with him was what I couldn't understand. I let out the tears I had withheld the whole day screaming at the top of my voice..If there was one thing I learnt from him,was to let it all out but never to cry for that same thing again.

I left the beach quite late,I saw several misscalls from Ehis and mum.I knew mum was gonna worry,I never stay out late except on rare occasions. I hit the road immediately after texting her on my way home.

parked my car at it spot and hurried upstairs only to meet the worried faces of my parents.
Dad,mum am sorry I should have called earlier..I got carried away,I didn't know I will stay that long.

Its alright honey, we were just worried mum said giving me a brief hug.

I would like to rest now,excuse me.

Baby, remember I told you I was gonna tell you something before you left this morning.

Can't it wait till tommorow mum,am exhausted.

We know that Onome and we wouldn't have bothered you about it if it wernt important because we know how tired you are..Dad said a little more convincing.
I bit my lower lip,giving them that questioning look before seating on my favourite sofa beside them.

You have to promise us this isn't gonna change what you feel about us mum said pleadingly

Come on mummy ,nothing is gonna change my love for you two...I was sure of that,they were all I had.

You're a twin ,Dad said counting his every word.

A twinhow is that possible. how come I haven't heard anything about this twin of mine.

Mum was already shedding tears,I hate to see mum sad.She was my weakpoint.
We had nothing when we had you two in our second year of marriage. We couldn't even cater for ourselves properly and a good neighbour introduced us to a couple who had been childless for 14years.They were ready to do anything to have even just one child They confronted us about selling one of our twins for a huge sum of money at that time..we never wanted to do it,but at some point your twin fell very Ill and after running a test on her,we found out that she had pneumonia and she needed special attention so we had no choice than to exchange her.we didn't want to lose her..mum said crying uncontrollably.

I couldn't control my tears..what If I was the one that had been sold?

So where Is she now?

The couples left for U.s after paying us and we never heard anything from them until last
month your mother came across the neighbour that introduced us to those couples and she told us our daughter was in the country.
Where is she now? have you seen her?

Yes but she had vowed not to have anything to do with us.

I didn't know what moved me but I found myself running upstairs were I broke down on my bed'.

Onome
I climbed the staircase like a teenage girl sneaking without her parents permission. The last thing I wanted was my mum seeing me,unfortunately the lights turned up and I saw mum smiling at me..
Mum..
Baby,it's not fair.You don't wanna tell me about your date.
I didn't say a thing but smiled at her..
I know that smile mum said after me,but I climbed the stairs hurriedly and landed on my bed.I tried all I could not to think of everything but I just couldn't. I hummed drunk inlove while showering and went to bed sleepsmilling.
Morning came,I threw my alarm to one end of the room with my eyes still closed..if alarms were humans,I would have killed hundreds.That was the 3rd one I was throwing for d week..and they all got ruined.
I heard that gentle knock that got me frowning.

Mum...

Good morning baby.. how was your night?

It was fine..morning mum.I opened my eyes gently and smiled at her.

Baby can we talk when you get back from work today?

Sure..I said standing up,and heading for the bathroom almost immediately.

Can I pick up your outfit for you?

I heard mum say from my room

No mum..have picked it out already on my head.I let the water carress my body thinking about my lunch date with Ehis.I got clad on a white jumpsuit and orange blazer,.applied a little makeup with my hair styled perfectly,I carried my white Gucci bag and left after pecking mum.

Just when I had put my car to an halt,I got a beep from my phone.I smiled when I opened it.
"Morning Mariposa,just a remainder not to forget our lunch date".

We had exchanged numbers during our date the previous night..I rested my back on my car while I texted him back.

" I won't, as long as you tell me the meaning of Mariposa".

I smiled as I greeted everyone I met at the elevator down to my office.

Am sorry..I should have called at least when you said you weren't feeling too fine ,my secretary said the moment I walked inIts okay, am all good today

Lunch break came and as expected Ehis showed up at my office with flowers.He was clad in a navyblue suit which hugged his body perfectly.I couldn't help but stare at him,gosh he was just too cute for a" doctor".I could bet ladies were praying to get I'll for his sake.

Hi beautiful he said..bringing my back from my thoughts.

Hey..hi..I stammered trying to get hold of myself.

You look breathtaking he complemented

You don't look bad either'

And your office suits your kinda person,I must say it's nice.
Thankyou.

Shall we?he said

Yea sure...we walked out holding hands..I could see lot of angry stares from the ladies and jealousy from the men's but that wasn't my problem.. I couldn't understand the warm feeling I felt or the butterflies dancing in my stomach.

He took me to one of the best eateries,he had made special reservations earlier...I could see eyes feeding on us,a careless waitress had even fallen with her tray of drinks staring at us'..I only prayed it didn't cost her..

Are you okay?he asked when he noticed my mind was far off.

Yea..Isn't this too much?for only a lunch..Thankyou.

You worry too much..Just make an order of what you wanna eat alright,nothing is too much for you.

I smiled shyly and turned to the waiter'

So what does Mariposa mean?

Uhm..okay'

It does mean firefly ,When fireflies come into our lives they are there to guide us to ways of living that are more earth-friendly, and soul-friendly. Fireflies teach us the value of living simply, and relying on our own inner voices for illumination. Fireflies also come to us with a message of creativity, and remind us that our paths are made lighter by the beauty that we allow into our lives.
So you are my firefly'

..I...I..I stammered.
Shh..he interrupted, let's get back to our meal.

I smiled at him,then at the food..there was something about him that made me feel at home.

Raymond

I had contacted my car dealer and ordered for toyata Camry 2.2 the a month ago .. I had wanted to give her as our wedding present but I couldn't wait anymore. I was ready to get my woman back no matter the cost.She had complained of been the only one taking cabs at her office,and maybe I could win her heart back with it..

I dailed her number for the umpteenth time but my calls were diversed into voicemail. I drove to her house like a wounded animal.

My world came crashing when I saw my very Jessica in the arms of a woman..she moaned loudly unaware of my presence.

Jessica..I screamed surprised at my own voice.

Oh Ray...come join us she said not even sparing me a glance.

I felt tears fall from my eyes.. this was more than I could take...

I dragged my feet from the ungodly sight and drove away'

I wasn't gonna be the loser I kept saying to my self as the tears spilled uncontrollably.

Yes..I could never be a loser,I was gonna apologize to Onome and move on.I knew just how much she loved me...she would take me back.I changed directions and headed for her office..

Thank you all for all your quick recovery wishes oo..am feeling much okay compare to last week.Although I took injection today(sobs)because am no fan of drugs.And its still paining me ooo
