I saw myself clicking the submit button when I had not finished typing that's why it appeared twice,first one incomplete before the second. Forgive me for that.
I think this will be all for this morning. Those that said six,there is God o. You people can't punish me like that nau. Mabinu abeg

Ken: Hillary,we all were angry with you,I still am anyways. The girl in question was my girlfriend. You were kpanshing my babe when you have my sister as a girlfriend. Is that not simply wickedness? If you wanted to cheat,why not go for someone else? You're just like a rat,you'll be biting and blowing us so we won't feel the pain. Don't think I'll forgive you because you did me wrong big time. Even if she was the one coming to you,you would have at least,told Amy or myself but you did not.

Hillary: I'm sorry bro. I was trying to protect our relationships.

Ken: Pro what? If Amy hadn't seen you both that day,you two will still be frolicking together. I just did this because of my sister not for anything else. Amy,I'll be in the car.

Me: Wait!.
He looked at me and I saw sadness in his eyes. He wasn't happy.

Me: How do you expect me to be happy when you're not? If you're angry with him,why bring us back together? Why can't we be like we were? Let's put everything aside and move on. You k ow I love him so much and I love you as much,being angry with him won't make his relationship with me work out perfectly. Please Ken,for my sake,for this love you have for me,forgive him

Ken: And what about Rose?

Me: I judge you're a wise man Ken. Without batting eyelids,you know who's faulty here and you know the best way to handle this. But being angry,do you think I'll be bold enough to date someone whom my brother doesn't like?.

Hillary's head was bent all this while,I don't know if its out of shame,guilt or anger.

Ken heaved a sigh and smiled at me.

Ken: It's alright. You know I'll do anything for you.

I smiled.

Ken: Hillary?

Hillary looked up and I saw tears at the edges of his eyes.

Hillary: I'm sorry man. I'm so ashamed of myself.

Ken: It's okay. Let's go home.

Hillary: Thank you.

Me: Thanks Ken.

Ken: Now I'm feeling special

We three stood up,Ken dropped some money on the table and we walked out all smiles. Was I lucky? Of course I am and not eveb you,yes,you,I mean you,can be half as lucky as I'm becoming this days.

We got to the house and went into Ken's ao

.

We got to toskana hotel at a little past 8pm. Eyes turned to Ken and I and I was embarrassed even before I sat down. I had decided to look sexy tonight,the motive was to show some flesh,get drunk and sleep away my thoughts. I was in something you can call a mini gown which showed off lots of cleavages and the back has a v-cut from the shoulders down to the top of my behind. My make up wasn't light,I had matched my gown with a pink boot and no purse. I didn't even go with my phone,what's the need since I don't plan on being myself before coming home. Ken had stared at me with open mouth as I stepped out of the house but I just laughed it off,but this mini crowd got me quite embarrassed.

We sat down in a secluded part and placed our orders,I made sure wine comes first and clearly enough,Ken was surprised.

Ken: You would have simply ordered for food.

Me: I know. We're not going out now,are we?

Ken: Nope.

Me: I want to enjoy tonight. Don't spoil it.

He smiled and brought out his phone. He typed something and quickly dropped the phone.

Me: So tell me what you were trying to make back there.

He chuckled and I smiled at his triability to be a teenager (don't argue that word.I know it doesn't exist but I figured it's the best for now).

Ken: I'll tell you later tonight.

Me: Looks like you were just trying to make shit.

He laughed,throwing his head back and just then,our wine came in a bucket of ice. I helped myself out immediately downing a glass of the fairly hot drink which I knew would be doing wonders soon.

Ken; Do you want to tell me anything?

Me: Yes. But that'll be on our way home.

Ken: Is that why you're drinking?

Me: Nope.

Ken: Amy,you just show up new abilities everyday. Never knew you drink.

Me: But mum knows. You don't live in same house with me.

Ken: Strange girl. You won't stop amazing me.

Me; I'm a wonder woman then.

We both laughed. Our food came and we both left ourselves to the mercy of the fried rice and chicken.

Me: So,any chance you're getting back with Nenye?

He paused and looked at me.

Me: I'm sorry if the question upsets you.

Ken: It's alright. I was expecting that question anyways.

Me: Okay

Ken: Nenye is a nice girl. She really is but was influenced by her mother. I was upset with her for being an aid to whatever you went through. But seeing her in this her present condition,I realised that she was a pawn and every blame I had on her washed away.

Me: So?

Ken: I loved her. She's my first love and always will be but I can't be with her anymore. I'm loving someone else already.

Me: Wow. Interesting.

Ken: You see,I like you a lot. I even made the mistake of falling in love with you.

I dropped my cutleries and looked up at him.

Ken: Let me finish. I fell for you because you have a very simple nature,you've got a big heart and you have a forgiving spirit. You're beautiful,well end owned and intelligent. What more can a man want from a woman. I fell so madly that I had to start distancing myself from you because there are some things that are not meant to be. Coming to you when I know I have a brother who's also crazy about you will be a blow to our family. I had to let go and the very day I met that decision was the day I met the one who I'm loving now.

I fought to find my voice. Where was it? I raised my fork to see if it was there but no. I cleared my throat and yes,I found it.

Me: Uhm....I'm surprised.

He took a sip of his drink and nodded.

Ken: I knew you would be. But it's best that I told you,now,let's enjoy the meal before it gets cold.

I felt like I was in a strange place. Ken was a perfect gentleman. Why didn't I read the writing on the wall all this time? At least,I would have seen if I will feel the same thing for him. Wait! Am I alright at all? What did he just say now? Yes. It's wrong to date two brothers. I can't even see myself doing that. Mum would be so disappointed. I smiled at Ken for his intelligence and continued with my meal.

Few minutes later,we were done and using a serviette.

Ken: I'll be back in a minute. I need to shake hands with a friend of mine that's being calling.

I laughed,audible enough to attract people and he joined me.

Me: Your friend indeed.

Ken: What was I supposed to say?

He stood up and walked around to where I was. He gave me a peck on my forehead and we smiled

Ken: Better don't touch that your drink again.

Me: Ah! But we'll pay for it so I need to finish it.

Ken; I'm serious here now. Stop taking it. I'll get you one good for you when I'm back

I nodded and he walked away,going to shake whatever friend he has down there

And so,I'm back. We had our harvest and bazaar yesterday so I was very busy throughout. I apologise for not giving you guys a hint. Is my apology accepted?

saxwizard:
good morning friends and family please be patient pamelb is working for the good of the thread .....stay tuned.....and do hv a nice day




princedami na ur work I dey do so shey u knw......

I go gv u query oooo

Thanks for helping me out on this one.

timota:
Observations, Amanda is not suppose to bear the surname okoye since she is Mr okoye sisters child not from same paternal ancestry unless it was a coincidence and the tree you called fruit is known as almond its only nigerians that call it fruit. More grace

okay. Amanda was given to the Okoye's just immediately after she was born. She grew up to know them as family and she had to bear the name. Anyways,tanx for your observation

My smartestpopqueen,you're welcome

I forgot to wish you guys a happy Sunday.





The house looked so deserted. I was the only one in the big house. Kamsi had gone out with Ted immediately we came home,leaving me all alone. I sat down in my room to think about all that Kamsi had earlier said,despite all my trials,I failed to get Hillary out of my system. He was there like a stamp. But why won't I forgive him? Why is it so difficult for me to forgive him?

I put my thoughts together and hit the shower, letting the water run down my body and cool my nerves. I stayed longer than necessary because I gave a run down to what had being happening in my life. It would be wrong to let whatever forces that was following me to ruin my happiness. I would be stupid to let them win this time. I couldn't fight them all this years,I suffered and bore the pains alone. But now,I was going to fight it,no matter what it was.

I got out of the shower just in time to hear my phone ring. I picked it and listened.

Caller: Amy is that you?

Me: Yes it's me. Who am I speaking with?

Caller: Love.

Me: Love?

Caller: Yes. Give a new meaning to your life and try to work on bringing back people you've lost. It will help you in life. It will pave a way to greater height for you. Love is the ultimate,it's the greatest. He loves you,so love him back.

And the call was up. It was an unknown caller. I threw the phone to the bed and checked my wall clock. Few minutes to seven.
I dried my body and quickly put on a white bum pants with my favourite baggy polo. Of course I won't forget to take a selfie with whatever delicacy it was that Ken had prepared. I added a little make up to spice up my already beautiful face before stepping out of the house. The gateman came to me immediately and delivered a flower. Ahn Ahn,what's happening? The call,and now flowers? Before I could ask him questions,he was already going back to his duty post.

I shrugged and went into Ken's apartment. He was sitting in the sitting room with a frown. He saw me and sat up. I looked at the dinning,it was empty.

Me: Now,you've played me. And you think I'll be compensated with these flowers?

I flung the flower at him and he ducked.

Ken: Hey,calm down. it's not my fault. I couldn't do it. You know I'm not a good cook. Everything got burnt.

I went to the kitchen to confirm. It was a mess. There was an over baked chicken,a groundnut paste on a plate,grilled,sorry,pounded fish on the sink,a pepper paste mixed in half done groundnut. I don't know whatever he wanted to prepare but I started laughing. I turned back to go to him but he was there already.

Ken: Let me make it up to you.

Me: Forget it. I'll just pick my flower and go back to the house. Mr chef.

I started laughing again but stopped when I noticed he was still sad.

Me: Okay. Sorry for laughing.

Ken: Let me make it up to you. Go back and dress nicely. We'll eat out.

I'm easily deceived with eating out,especially with people who meant a lot to me.

Me: Fine. So long as you stop keeping a mean face. And you won't act awkward while we're at it. It will be more of a romantic date,agreed?

Ken: Anything for her majesty. And please,dress in your best. I want us to be the centre of attention while we're there.

Me: Hmmm. Give me thirty minutes then.

Ken: Okay your highness.

I giggled,picked my flower and left. I will tell him about how I felt for Hillary and ask him to help get us back together. It's only Ken who would do that for me because he's the only one who understands.

A week and three days after I was discharged,Nenye regained consciousness. I was the happiest person on earth that day. I had gone to school and was about boarding a cab home when Kamsi called,asking me to rush to the hospital. I got there and everyone was there;Ted,Ken,Mum,Gospel, Kamsi and hmmm,Hillary.
Nenye looked so happy. I embraced her in a warm hug that lasted for eternity. The atmosphere was peaceful and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Immediately I got the chance,I pulled Kamsi out of the room and began interrogating her;

Me: What is that cheat doing here?

Kamsi: Calm down joor. He's here to see your sister.

Me: Who asked him to come?

Kamsi: The same person who brought him to see you while you were unconscious last two weeks.

Me: He came here?

Kamsi: Yes.

Me: And who is that person? I'm sure it's Gospel.

Kamsi: Nope. Ken.

Me: Ken?

Kamsi: See babe, this guy is really sorry. While you were here,he's magically worked himself back into our lives. He really regrets what happened. You know we women can be devils sometimes. Rose wanted him and he couldn't resist her because he's being without a woman for long. Try to understand how this thing works.

Me: You're preaching me now,for him?

Kamsi: It's not preaching. It's the fact. I know how much you love this guy,I saw it in your eyes when you came in here. Don't let a single mistake ruin your chance to a perfect relationship.

Me: It wasn't a single mistake Kammy. He did it twice.

Kamsi: Don't be this difficult Amy,don't loose this guy.

She walked out and left me to think about it. I heaved a sigh and sat down on a chair in the corridor. Ken came immediately and joined me.

Ken: How was school today?

Me: Was fine. Though there was nothing serious done today.

Ken: Okay. You look so different. Any problem?

I looked at him,how will I tell him that he's my problem since he's the one who brought Hillary to the hospital.

Me: I'm fine.

Ken: So now that your sister is fine,you'll have time to spend with me right?

Me: Of course.

Ken: Thanks. How about dinner in my apartment tonight? I want to make a special delicacy that I learnt from YouTube. You in?

Me: Why not? I love tasting new and interesting delicacies. Hope it'll be worth my coming?

Ken: You should trust me.

Me: And do I come with Kamsi?

Ken: I mentioned it to her,but she said she's going out with Ted.

Me: Okay then. I'll be there. And hey,better finish up before I come cause I won't help with anything.

He threw his head back and laughed.

Ken; Okay. I knew you were a lazy girl. I'll be through before seven.

Me: Good for you.

Ken: Let's get back to the room. Mum was saying something before I came out.


And it happened that mum was saying that she already had a flight scheduled for five. She had a fashion show to attend in Dubai and from there,she'll leave for London to get more supplies. Gospel drove her home to pick her bags and head for the airport while we all remained at the hospital,cracking jokes and yabbing each other.

ChangeHolder:
PamelaB, Pls don't end this story dating Ken, it will sow an eternal seed of discord in that family and crippled your earlier literati ingenuity. It has to be Gospel, or you reconcile with an obviously sob Hilary or someone else entirely. Don't make the closing part of this epic story too predictable by returning to date Ken. You don't have to practically date every man u encounter in this journey. You could even blank out and cease dating till another date maybe after school. You have a good story and it will make a decent movie. I hope we will talk about this sometime. I seldom comment on Nairaland buh had to break this rule for your outright excellence.

why not wait till the story ends? You're trying to tell me wat to write in my story and I don't like it. Like I had earlier said,this story already ended and I'm just sharing it here. I'm going to write it the way it happened. If you ain't okay with the way it will end(whenever it ends),you can now say what you thought or thinking. All the same,thanks for commenting

callmeomotee33:
Am happy for Nenye at least she won't be carrying a bastard child again...thanks pameIB more wisdom,knowledge and understanding,
U really tried today

Mykel4God:


Devil.....I command thee in Jesus name that you get behind this story!

Amen

lol

Finally got it right. Baba tuale

With money,life could be so easy. But on the other hand,money can't buy everything.
With the necessary connections and a wonderful lawyer,mum got me back my properties and I officially became a land and property owner. Of course,I gave all the papers to mum. She had given me everything I needed and hoped for in life. I knew those documents were not enough to pay her back for everything but at least,I started from there.

It was more of a reunion. We were all happy including Nenye. She had insisted on leaving for the village but mummy refused,telling her that she would live with the Kalus till she's ready to settle down.

While we partied and drank wine, Ken was mostly beside me,never leaving my side. We were about eating when I asked Nenye to go up and call Kamsi,who had gone up to take a call outside the loud music. I watched her climb the stair,admiring the way her hips has expanded due to the pregnancy, I don't know but she turned immediately and her foot slipped,then she fell,rolling down and landing at the foot of the stair. She zoned out immediately. There was blood on her head and blood was also coming out from her body. I froze. Ken and Gospel rushed to pick her while mum shut down the music. I started crying immediately. How can I loose the remnant of my sibling? As they carried her out,I didn't move. I couldn't move. I just watched them leave while mum followed,saying something that I didn't get.

Kamsi came down and immediately she saw blood,she started screaming,asking me what had happened. I still didn't say a word. She pushed me down on a cushion,yet I didn't say anything.

She started calling everyone but nobody answered their phones. In my state of shock,I wished she could read minds. It was as if I had lost my voice.

They didn't come home that night and I didn't leave that cushion. Kamsi sat down beside me,saying things I couldn't hear. We remained that way till morning when Ken came in with Ted.

I still couldn't speak,my brain hadn't registered what was happening so I couldn't hear whatever they were saying with Kamsi. I saw the look of fear in Ken's eyes as he carried me out of the house,into the car and straight to the hospital where I was admitted immediately.

I don't know how long my eyes were closed but when I woke up,the first person I asked after was Nenye. The nurse who was beside me said she'll call her for me,but instead,Kamsi came in.

She sat on a chair beside my bed and held my hand.

Kamsi: Doctor said it was shock. How're you?

Me: Where's Chinenye?

Kamsi: She's fine.

Me: Let me see her please.

Kamsi: You can't. You're not healthy yourself.

Me: Please let me just see her. I need to see her.

Kamsi: I'll call Ken.

She left immediately and my heart started beating. She was hiding something from me and I must know what that thing was. I'm sure Ken will never lie to me.

The door opened and Ken came in alone. I smiled at him and he gave me a peck on my forehead.

Ken: How're you?

Me: I'm okay. How's my sister?

He breathed out,but his smile never disappeared so I had hope.

Ken: She lost the baby before we got here but she's fine. Though she's in coma now but doctor has said that she'll be fine.

Was I happy or not? I was lost in mixed feelings.

Ken: Kamsi just left to get you food and change of clothes. I'll stay here with you.

He sat down and held my hands in his.

Me: Have you eaten?

Ken: Yes.

Me: Where's mum?

Ken: We asked her to go home. She's being here since the night Nenye was brought here and when you came,her worries doubled and she refused eating or sleeping. Gospel had to forcefully take her home this morning.

I was grateful. I had love around me and it served as a protection. It was all that I needed to be happy.

I was discharged that day so I went in immediately to see Nenye. She looked so peaceful while she was in a far away sleep. I heaved a sigh and said a quick prayer.

Ken drove me home to see mum later in the evening. We hugged each other and shed a little tear before she made me promise her that the next time I'll be in a hospital bed would be when I'm about to deliver. Ken and I laughed and I made that promise,not sure of when it will be but I was hopeful,once I'm done with school and working,I'll get a better man to love me....................that's what all ladies say anyways.


This is the last update for today. Drop your comments,likes and suggestions.
Ghost readers,I just downloaded amadioha's eyes,just make sure I don't cast a spell on you.

Something is not right here. My two browsers has refused to post my update,telling me an error has occured

We started talking to mum,asking her of possibilities of getting Nenye out of the house. She was surprised about our sudden interest in her. We had to tell her what happened that Thursday,then she said something that I never thought of.

Mum: If the police can get that criminal to confess to the crime and name whoever sent him which is madam Okoye, it will be a lot easier. She would be arrested and you'll get all your properties back. That way,you can take care of your sister without her having to leave the house.

Kamsi: Mum you're a genius. Let's go to the station immediately.

Mum: But wait. Why will a woman treat her child that way? I've never heard of that.

Me: I'm surprised myself.

Mum: Anyways,let's just go immediately. That woman doesn't deserve to be with a child.

We called Ted,Ken and Gospel who were all at work and they decided to join us at the station.
We got there an hour later and mum informed the DPO on duty of our mission which was to see the criminal. He willingly brought him in and I saw him. He was the boss,the one who had molested me most.

He saw me and looked away immediately.

Me: Why?

He looked at me and bent his head.

Me: I'm I not young enough to be your sister? What did I ever do to you?

Guy1: You no do me anything abeg.

Me: Then why? Why did you do that to me? Every girl always cherishes her first time. But look at what you did to me. You made me regret being a woman,you made me wish for death. Why?

Guy1: Sister abeg no vex. Na your mama o. My mind never settle since we do that operation. i bin no wan talk but now wey i don see you,abeg,forgive me. She pay us good money for that job. I no suppose say this one but na me and my guys dem kill your papa.

Kamsi and I shouted in surprise. Mummy looked away and shook her head.

DPO: Inspector,take him back to the cell. Get three boys from the counter. We're going to arrest someone.

Inspector: Yes sir.

He led the rapist back to the cell and in the next minute,we were all riding to the Okoye's house. It was when we were driving out of the station that Ted, Ken and Gospel were also driving in. We all got down again and tipped them all that happened.

We all drove in a convoy and soon enough,we were at the house. We got down and I led the way into the house. Mrs Okoye was watching a premiere at televista. She saw the entourage and sat up.

Mrs Okoye: Amanda,you're here. What's happening?

That moment,Nenye came downstairs. She came and hugged Kamsi and I,then greeted everyone else in the room.

DPO: You're Mrs Okoye right?

Mrs Okoye: Of course.

DPO: You're under arrest,for masterminding the rape of Miss Chimamanda Okoye and the death of Mr Alex Okoye.

Nenye: What? Daddy?

I nodded

Nenye: Jesus.

Mrs Okoye said nothing. She just stood up and went to the police officer.

Mrs Okoye: Can I call my lawyer?.

Mrs Kalu: Imagine. What will he defend? Its crystal clear that you're guilty.

Nenye was sobbing now and I was holding her affectionately.

DPO: Thanks for not resisting arrest. You all will also follow us to the station to write down your statements.

Mrs Okoye was arrested and while they led her away,I slumped on a couch to cry while Nenye went upstairs to change into something better.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up. I looked up and it was Ken.
I stood up and we hugged each other affectionately.

Ken: It's okay. Stop crying.

Me: She killed daddy. She killed the father that I know. Why is she this wicked? Because he said he was going to take me out of the house?

He hugged me again and this time,he didn't let go.

Ken: We're here for you now. I promise you'll never feel pain,hurt or heartbreak anymore. We won't leave you,I promise.

He let go and pecked my forehead.

Ken: Come,we'll ride in my car.

He left while I waited for Nenye to come down.

Forgive me. I started as Chukwuebuka but I checked again and it was Emeka so I had to continue like that.

Pchinak:
Great job nne, its been an awesome story. You may have to check again your introduction, I think the character "Chukwu Emeka" was introduced as "Chukwu ebuka", pls have a look.
Meanwhile, happy birthday and many happy returns to your Sis.

So long as my thumb doesn't fall off,I'll update. This is the last for this morning.




Nenye looked at me.

Nenye: You didn't know I was pregnant?

Me: Not at all. We've both missed you,worse still,school resumed properly last week but we didn't see you around so we decided to come and check on you.

Nenye: Really?.

Me: Yes. We can never mock you. We're all women and don't know what our future will be like.

Kamsi sat down beside Nenye and I smiled inwardly.

Nenye: You've got a goof heart Amanda. I wonder why I've being blind to the truth all these years.

Kamsi looked at me and I knew she wanted to say something

Kamsi: Everything has a right time. Maybe this is your own time to see a change.

Me: Yes. You were just blind all those years because you loved your mother and....

Nenye: And she put me in this condition. I hate her. She's not my mother.

Kamsi: What? What are you saying?

Me: Nenye,tell us. What are you saying?

Nenye: We've run bankrupt. We don't have anything now except this house. She's sold everything father had. When she realised she couldn't sell the ones in your name,she started sleeping with father's friends. I didn't say anything so long as she put food on our table. I was in the sitting room one night when she came in with a man, introduced him to me as her classmate way back in the university. She left both of us to talk and went into her room. That night,this man took advantage of me and no matter how much I screamed,mum never came out to help me.

Kamsi: Jesus.

Nenye: It was when he was ready to leave that I knew they staged it.

Me: How?

Nenye: He dropped twenty thousand on the table and asked me to give it to my mum, then he gave me five thousand naira saying I wasn't as good as my mum had said.

Tears ran down my eyes. How can a mother do this to her own child? I understood it when it was me, but her own child?

Nenye: When I realised I was pregnant,I told mum and she said she would call him. I later found out that she doesn't even have his number let alone knowing who he was.

Kamsi: Oh my God. Did you go for a lab test?..

Nenye: I did. I treated gonorrhea for weeks.

Kamsi: I'm sorry to say this but your mother is wicked.

Nenye: She's not my mother. I regret the day she conceived me.

I had to stop crying and we three went into a warm embrace.

Nenye: Please forgive me. She poisoned my mind against you,saying your mother was a witch and tried to kill her while she was pregnant. That was why I was against you.

Me: I knew there was no smoke without fire. Let's not talk about the past anymore. Let's look for a way forward.

Kamsi: Yes. Let's not discuss the past anymore. We'll go home and think of a way to help you out.

Nenye: Please,come and take me out of here. please.

Kamsi: Don't worry. It will be over soon.

Kamsi and I gave her some money before she escorted us out. Mrs Okoye was no longer in the sitting room so we just left the house without bothering to look for her.

We spent the rest of the day at new berries,talking about the Okoye's family

Today is Thursday and our lecture free day. We were at the terrace,thinking up what to do with our free time.

Kamsi: Let's just go out,since you can now drive,we'll just go sight seeing.

Me: I want to visit my house.

Kamsi: The Okoye's?

Me: Yes. I want to know how they're doing and also know how they're keeping the house.

Kamsi: You miss them?

I nodded.

Kamsi: Its alright. We'll go but we won't tell anybody. From there,we'll now go sightseeing. And dress in your best so they'll know you're living fine now.

I laughed and thanked her.

Kamsi: Big mouth Chinenye,I've not seen her since school resumed.

Me: That's why I want to go and see them.

Kamsi looked at her phone.
Kamsi: Its 9:45 already,let's go and get ready.

We both went down to our rooms and I started rummaging through my clothes to know the one I'm going to wear. I finally settled for a pink crop top,jean trouser and a pink boot and in the next 95 minutes,we were on our way to abakpa,the location where my terror started with me behind the wheels.

We got to our location and rode into the streets of housing estate. As I drove past each street,I remembered that night I had bade them goodbye. The pastures were greener and looked like it noticed my presence. I stopped beside a school,two streets from the Okoye's house and let my tears fall. Kamsi allowed me for a good number of minutes before she spoke up.

Kamsi: Don't you think you should be praising God instead of crying? What if you had died that day? But he kept you alive,so that people will know your story and praise Him for His goodness? You shouldn't be crying Amy because I'm sure you've overcome your fears by wanting to see them.

Me: I...

Kamsi: Don't speak.

She helped me dab my face with her bandana and using the make up in her Marlboro purse,she remade my face.

Kamsi: Stop crying. Let's go and see your family.

I nodded and brought the engine back to life. I wasn't perfect yet as we still had the L letter attached to the car and I drove carefully.
We got to the house and I honked,expecting the gateman to come out and open the gate but we were there for some minutes,yet nobody showed up.

Kamsi: I'll see.

She got down and went towards the gate. She opened the small gate and went in,then opened the big one for me to drive in.

I drove into the familiar compound. Nothing had changed. Everywhere was littered with dried leaves from the fruit tree that stood in the middle of the compound. I got out of the car and joined Kamsi.

Kamsi: This place looks isolated.

Me: You sure they still live.....

Nenye: You don't talk to me because you put me in this situation.

Kamsi and I turned to the direction of the voice and saw Chinenye,coming out from the backyard with a baby bump. She saw us and froze.

Mrs Okoye: Who drove in?

She joined her daughter and she couldn't hide the shock on her face.

Kamsi and I greeted her.

Mrs Okoye: Amanda?

Me: Yes mum.

Mrs Okoye: What are you doing here?

Me: Uhm....we came to see a friend who lived in the estate so we decided to come and see you.

Kamsi: Yes ma.

Nenye ran into the house without turning back.

Me: I'm sorry mum but you people didn't inform us that Nenye was married.

Mrs Okoye hissed and I looked at Kamsi.

Mrs Okoye: Don't mind that girl. She got pregnant and she doesn't know who's responsible. I don't know what I'm going to do with her. Since then,she's refused to be polite to anybody.

Kamsi: Doesn't make sense. How can she not know who's responsible for her child?

Mrs Okoye: My dear,you two should come in. How's your mother?

Kamsi: She's fine ma.

We followed her inside where she offered us seats. The interior still looked wonderful and I was grateful for that.

Mrs Okoye: What do I offer you girls? You people are now big girls so I don't know if you still take juice.

Me: I...

Kamsi: We're fine ma. We're filled.

Mrs Okoye: Ah! At least,take something nau.

Kamsi: We'll leave with a pack of juice.

Mrs Okoye: That's better so how's school?

Kamsi: We're fine o. School is fine. Just....

Me: Mum,can we go and see Nenye?

Mrs Okoye: Uhm... Yes.. Why not? Its your house

Kamsi and I quickly ran up the stairs,very well aware of the eyes that followed us. I led the way to where I know was Nenye's room and after a knock,I pushed the door open and we both went in. Nenye was lying on her side. I bolted the door because I knew that we three had issues to settle.

She sat up and threw us wicked glances.

Nenye: Get out of here now.

Kamsi scoffed and folded her hands below her breasts.

Nenye: You both are just here to mock me so just get out.

Kamsi: If I were you,I'll be quiet and listen.

Me: Kamsi please.

Nenye started sobbing audibly and I cast Kamsi a pleading look.

Me: We're not here to mock you. We don't even know that you're pregnant. I miss you,you're my sister and I only came to see you.

OladeleJohn:
Happy Birthday to your Sister Dear. We know we can't get cake but an update will do

lols. And I'm here to serve you sir

Ikdbabie:
Nice. Thanks for the breakfast. And a very happy B-day to your sister.

thank you. I'll tell her

We just came out from a class that lasted three hours. Trust lecturers, upon we were not up to 100 out of three hundred and something radiography students,he gave us a quiz. Kamsi and I stepped out of the class three hours later and proceeded to the cafe which was always our consoler after such lectures.

We were almost there when we saw Rose leaving the cafe. Kamsi quickly ran up to her while I followed in quick steps. I knew Kammy was good at embarrassing people but I just wanted her to let things end the way it had.

Kamsi: Hey!

Rose turned and her smile disappeared.

Kamsi: Have your tongue fallen into your throat?

Rose swallowed hard as I came in to view.

Rose: Hi.

Kamsi: Better. So I heard you now sleep around right?

Rose: I...

Kamsi: Don't. Better don't stammer before me because I'm ready to tear you into pieces.

Kamsi had come prepared for a war. She was dressed casually in a jean short and polo,unlike Kamsi who wouldn't look at a polo on ordinary days.

A small crowd had gathered,eager to know why people who were friends during their first year had now turned enemies.

Rose: Kamsi please,you're embarrassing me.

A slap landed on Roses' face and the crowd was filled with '"ohs" and "ouchs".

Kamsi: When you were sleeping with my sister's boyfriend,did you think twice before doing it? Did you think up the consequences?

Rose was rubbing her face now,with tears dropping from her eyes.

Rose: I...

Kamsi: Shut up. You had my brother,why would you go to Hillary? How shameless and disgusting.

Rose: But I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

Kamsi: You're still talking eh? You're still opening that gutter you call mouth?

Kamsi went for an attack but I was just in time to come between them with one other guy who received the slap meant for Rose. I looked up at his face and it was Hillary.

What insolence? So he came to defend her?

Kamsi: Clap for yourselves you shameless animals. You came to fight for her. You should be grateful that it was just a slap. And I'm sure you're also here to take her home to compl.....

Hillary: Kammy stop. Why are you doing this? We're sorry. We shouldn't be fighting and disgracing ourselves in public.

Kamsi walked up to him with scorn and hatred written on her face.

Kamsi: But that's the plan. To help you wash your dirty linen in public. To warn people to be careful of you two backstabbers.

She pushed past Hillary and went to Rose.

Kamsi: Listen wh'ore,you should be thankful today,not because this woman eater came on time,but because my sister also came between you and I,which shows she's forgiven you. But I hope the slaps are enough to redesign your brains and get them back to default mode. Shameless things.

She walked away leaving me behind. I went to Rose and she looked at me innocently.

Rose: I'm sorry.

Me: Save it. You've gotten what you deserve. Just know how to treat friends next time.

I followed Kamsi's trail and walked out,hearing people murmur and say things I couldn't hear. But one thing was clear,anyone who has Kamsi,has a fighter and an adventurer.

Did we go to the cafe? Nope. Instead,I met Kamsi at the school gate where we boarded a cab and drove home. Throughout the ride,we remained silent,not sure of what to say to each other. But I'm not angry with her. She's just looking out for me.

Good morning all. How was your night? Hope you guys slept well because I did. I'm really happy this morning. It's my sister's birthday today.




I was behind the wheels while Gospel was beside me,giving me directions on how to handle the steering. We were in okpara square where he had insisted to be the one teaching me how to drive instead of going to the driving school where I had registered.

I had successfully reversed the car and was going to continue moving when I saw Hillary's car drive into the square. I quickly turned off the ignition and watched the car,waiting to see whoever it was he had come in with. Surprisingly, he got down from the car and started walking to Gospel's car. My face turned into a frown.

Gospel: Your boyfriend is here. Did you invite him?

Me: I didn't.

Gospel got down from the car and went to Hillary who was now close to the car. They shook hands and said something to themselves before Gospel walked away and Hillary came and opened the car.

He occupied where Gospel had being sitting and faced me.

Hillary: Bae how're you?

Me: Are you stalking me or what?

Hillary: No I'm not.

Me: Then who told you I'm here.

Hillary: Kamsi did. I went to the house but I found her instead.

Yes. Kamsi came back the previous day and she was looking very robust and happy.

Hillary: Bae I'm sorry. Please don't punish me this much. I know I wronged you but I'm sorry. The temptation and urge was just too much for me to handle. I...

I got down from the car,closed the door and leaned on it. I'm done hearing whatever he has to say. I'm done with letting myself fall so cheaply for men who will spare no time in hurting me.
He also got down and came to my side..

Hillary: Bae

Me: Hillary please. Get out of here. I don't want to embarrass you. Get out.

Hillary: If that's what will make you forgive me,fine,embarrass me,do anything to me but please,forgive me. I can't be without you,I can't even concentrate anymore. I'm deeply sorry.

Me: Whether you eat,sleep or concentrate less,its none of my fu'cking business. When you were with Rose,did you pause to think about me? Listen,don't make me remember what I've tried to forget and don't make me forget my hand on your face.

Hillary: Do it.

Me: Get lost.

I opened the car and got in,locking all doors immediately and driving away. I don't care anymore. Why should I?

He was there while I rode to and fro,angrily stepping on the brakes and honking nonstop. At about 45minutes later,Gospel called and asked me to stop. I halted the car and waited for him to come to me. He did,asked me to get down and I did. We both walked to a shade.

Gospel: You're angry. What's wrong? Did he say anything to you?

Remember that Gospel isn't yet aware of what happened between Hillary and myself.

Gospel: Amanda?

Me: He didn't say anything.

Gospel: Are you two okay?

Me: Let's go home.

Gospel: No. I'm calling him. I need to know what's happening.

Me: Suit yourself.

He walked away and went to where Hillary was standing. The next minute,they were walking up to me.

Gospel: So both of you,indulge me,tell me what's happening here.

Me: Nothing.

Gospel: Man,tell me.

Hillary looked at me before he started talking,saying everything that had happened. I was mad with rage. How dare he?

Hillary: But I'm really sorry. I am.

Gospel: Amanda....

Me: Don't call my name,he has the effrontery to say he's sorry? He did it the first time and didn't tell me. What if I hadn't caught them that second time? Will he have told me? You guys should just not mention my name here. If he wants to continue stalking my life,fine,I'm out of here.

I walked out without sparing them another glance. I got into the car and decided to wait patiently for Gospel. Time passed but he seemed to be enjoying whatever Hillary was saying.
I took my purse and got down from the car,I walked out of the square,found a cab and made for home. Why won't he enjoy the story? They were birds of sane feathers and they are so good in flocking together.

The first person I went to see was Kamsi. She was stepping out of the bathroom when I got in.

Kamsi: You back?

Me: Yes Mrs Abidjan.

She laughed and hit my shoulder playfully.

Kamsi: Can see you and Gospel have bonded so well.

I shrugged my shoulders.

Me: He's shown how repentant he is.

Kamsi: Yea. He called me as well,begging to have back his position in my life. I only agreed to forgive him because he said he'll apologise to you as well.

Me: Its all good. At least,since then,he's being good.

I told her about our shoppings and the new things he bought for me.

Kamsi: Wow. I'm sure Rose must have taken some. I dunno why she's refused to pick my calls since yesterday.

Me: Ehe. Why will she pick it when she's afraid you'll also give her the beating of her life like I did.

I unlocked my phone and showed her the pictures I took after beating Rose.

Kamsi: Jesus! What did she do?

Me: What else? She's being sleeping with Hillary.

Kamsi's face flushed. She sat down on the bed and hugged me. I was past this emotion stage so I just hugged back and freed myself.

Kamsi: And that slowpoke had the guts to come here and look for you?

Me: Leave it. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to spoil your vacation.

Kamsi: Chai. Why was I not here?

Me: She even came to deceive Ken,because she thought I wouldn't tell him. I wanted to keep quiet but when she asked that I excuse them,I had to open my mouth.

Kamsi: That girl eh. Wait till I see her in school on Monday.

Me: I'm not going on Monday o. I'll start by Wednesday.

Kamsi: Onye ujo akwukwo. Anytime we start,I'm still going to pay her a visit. She made a mistake by messing with you.

I smiled and rubbed her back.

Me: Dress up joor. You're showing too much skin and I'm not Ted.

We both laughed before she dressed up and we went down to watch a movie together

Ehee. Biko keep commenting. I'm enjoying it. And I won't fail you guys so stop thinking I'll pause next week

I was still in bed when I heard a honk outside. My alarm rang about three hours ago,yet,I was still in bed,tossing and hissing.

I came out from my room and walked to the balcony to see who came in but surprisingly,there was a knock at the gate. Maybe it was a cab. The gateman opened the gate and Rose catwalked into the house. My blood started boiling and I knew she would get another dose from me before leaving the house.

She didn't look up. She just walked past the other houses and walked in to Ken's apartment.

This girl just dey find trouble. She go hear nwii today.

I went back to my room and brushed up,took my bath and wore my usual bum pant and singlet,making sure to wear a tight fitting bra just in case another beating tournament was going to happen.

I stepped out just as Gospel was about driving out. He honked for me and I went to say hi.

Me: Morning.

Gospel: Beautiful morning my dear. How was your night?

Me: Grateful for life.

Gospel: Thank God. I wanna go sort some things out in the office. I'll come back before lunch.

Me: Yes please,we won't eat out. I'll cook for us.

Gospel: Interesting. Can't wait.

Me: Okay. See you then

Gospel: Take care.

He drove out and I smiled. Today is Monday and since Thursday,Gospel had done more than enough. He bought me a Tecno w4. Not like I needed it since I still had my BB passport,but I loved it all the same,along with the clothes,handbags,jewelries and a make up kit. He never went beyond his limit. Eh! Still doesn't mean I'm taking him back.

I remembered my mission and turned,ready to make someone shiver. I stepped into Ken's apartment and there they were,she had her head on his laps and they were both laughing at something I didn't get. WOMEN.

I cleared my throat and walked in further to the sitting room. An innocent Rose would remain in her position and yab me for trying to disturb them but today,she sprang up immediately and sat properly.

Ken: Hey sis. Sit down.

Me: Of course I won't stand.

This was the first time I'm in the house since the other incident. Ken and I haven't spoken to each other except on Facebook where he'll comment my pictures and I'll reply. Surprisingly,he didn't look like anything was between us.

He laughed at my dry joke and watched me sit.

Me: Rosey,you didn't tell me you were coming. I wonder where our relationship is heading this days.

Rose: I....uhm...I....I wanted to...I tried...

Ken: What's that? When did it start?

I smiled.

Me: You don't know Rose always gets tensed whenever she's caught in the act.

Rose gave me a pleading look but I wasn't stopping.

Ken: What act? What?

Me: Romance. Weren't you two getting all intimate before I walked in?

Ken: Silly girl. Thought you were talking of something else.

Me: Like?

Ken: Let's forget it.

Me: I didn't come down for breakfast. What do you have?

Ken: Provisions. Make yourself comfortable with them.

Me: Thanks.

I stood up and walked to the dinning,leaving Rose with a wicked glance.
I made a mixture of cornflakes and golden morn with a good quantity of milk and groundnuts. I sat down to enjoy my meal,staying as close as possible to hear whatever Rose would say and just two spoons into my big bowl,it happened.

Rose: She should excuse us.

She spoke more in a whisper but I heard right. I dumped my plate and went straight to her.

Me: Hello? What did you just say?

Ken: Amy calm down. Are you girls having a feud or something?

Me: Bros wait. I want to be sure I heard clearly.
I squatted just in front of Rose and cupped her chin with my hand.

Me: Babe abeg repeat.

Rose: See,I didn't mean it as an insult,don't misunderstand me. I just wanted to have a private discussion with him.

Me: Private. Indeed.

I stood up and dragged her up as well. Ken followed suit.

Ken: Amanda you're embarrassing my girlfriend. If you two have issues,you can sort it out in a much better way than this

This angered me even more.

Me: Ask her. When she was sleeping with Lary,did it occur to her that he was my boyfriend? Did it occur to her that you were her boyfriend? And because I kept quiet,she's asking that I excuse you both. For what?

Ken: What did you just say?

Me: You heard right.

Ken walked closer to Rose who was now shedding tears.

Ken: Tell me,is it true?

His voice was calm and loving but the veins appearing in his neck and arm was cleat evidence of his anger.

Ken; Rose?

Instead of answering,she picked her handbag and ran out of the house. Ken turned to me.

Ken: How did you know?

Me: I saw them. I'm sorry but...

Ken: And why didn't you tell me?

Me: I was ashamed. I had no face to tell you that Hillary has repeated what Gospel did. I couldn't.

Ken: And you let me still be with her? Just to hide your sorrow?

Me: I'm sorry Ken. I didn't mean to keep it a secret for long. And I thought she will tell you when you ask about the wounds she got.

Ken: Oh! You did that?

I nodded.

Ken: She told me she was in an accident.

I chuckled and stopped immediately.

Me: I'm....

Ken: That Hillary needs to be taught a lesson for doing what he did. Look at you,nursing another heart break. Come here.

And I went into his arms and he held me tight,promising not to let anyone hurt me again.
So I let myself cry,to wash away my sorrows and open my heart for a new life.....

I'm not used to posting stuffs at this time of the day but let's blame it on the free time. Your comments and thoughts are highly appreciated cos it got me laughing for a good number of minutes. You guys are the bomb. Never knew this story would go this far,thanks to saxwizard. So here comes another one........




I went home a different person. Enough is enough. Maybe I've being too naive and vulnerable but from today henceforth, I'll change. In fact,I've changed. No more men.


I refused to mention what had happened to anybody even Kamsi. I'm not going to spoil her fun. I started going out,trying my best to socialise more with people that weren't just course mates. I registered into a driving school and that was how I started passing time,waiting for school to resume.
I was in my room five days later when my phone rang. It was an unsaved number. I picked it and listened.

Hillary: Bae.

I hissed. I've refused picking his calls and now,he's calling with different numbers.

Hillary: Bae,I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I wronged you,yes I really wronged you but please,for the sake of all we've shared,forgive me.

Me: Is that all?

He paused for a while so I continued.

Me: For goodness sake,why my friend? Do you know Gospel is better than you? To think I trusted you and loved you with all my life? Jeez I can't believe I'm in this now.

Hillary: C'mon bae,I'll do anything to make it right. Anything.

Me: Fine. Alright. Anything right?

Hillary: Yes. Anything.

Me: Good. Kill yourself.

I hung up and went back to my magazine. Nobody was going to kill me in this life. If I had survived at the Okoye's house,I'll survive anything.

I was flipping through the pages of the magazine,muttering to myself when Gospel came in.

Gospel: Hey.

I looked up. He was looking calm and a bit happy so I relaxed.

Me: Hi.

He sat down beside me and rubbed his palm

Gospel: You free to talk?

Me: Yup. So long as its not those your normal bickering.

He chuckled and oh yea,I was surprised.

Gospel: I wanna apologise. Sincerely,I've being a pain in the a$$ and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to certain extents but I dunno what happened to me. I'm not that kinda person. So I just wanna ask for your forgiveness.

STUNNED is indeed a very big understatement to the way I felt at that moment. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. He noticed my reaction and plastered a smile.

Gospel; I knew that's how you were going to take it. I'm deeply sorry for everything. It's wrong that we're living in the same house yet we don't talk. I understand that we can't be together again but at least,bring me to heart just like you do with Ken and Kammy.

Me: So you're jealous.

Gospel: Of course. You run to them for explanations,you laugh and play with them and I'm the outcast. Its somehow dear.

Me: And thus is not a plan to get something from me?

Gospel: Oh please. I'm not that kinda person okay? I promise never to hurt you with my words or actions anymore.

Hmmm. Today can't get any better.

Me: Okay. We're good but under one condition.

He rolled his eyes and clapped his palm.

Gospel: Name it.

Me; You'll make up for the lost times. You're taking me shopping and getting me another phone. We'll go out together till the vacation is over and that's next two weeks. Movies,lunch,dinner,window shopping,everything.

Gospel: Hmmm. Why not make me your husband? It will be better that way

Me: Your head. In or out?

Gospel: Can I ever be out?

Me: Good for you. We'll start tomorrow and better don't use this as a reason to try any rubbish with me cause I'll ply out your manhood.

Gospel: Oops. That's scary. But I promise,I won't misuse my new opportunity.

Me: Okay. Maybe I should just call Kamsi and tell her the good news.

Gospel: She knows already.

Me: Oh. So you had it all planned out?

Gospel: Kinda.

Me: Okay. Its alright.

Gospel: And,the doctor called me this morning.

Me: What doctor?

Gospel: From comforter of the afflicted.

I sat up immediately, my curiosity switch(like in smartestpopqueen s literature) active immediately.

Me: What did he say?

Gospel: Its good news actually. With the sperm samples collected from your body that day,those criminals has being caught.

Me: What? How? After a year? But the police said they couldn't do anything about it since there was no evidence.

Gospel: Yes,but thanks to the equipments that were shipped into the country from the US,the police and the doctor used your case to check if the instruments work and just like magic,it did.

Me: Have they being arrested?

Gospel: Just one of them. The other is late. But one thing is that,he's refused to speak up.

Me: Hmmm. I thank God. I don't even want to see him.

Gospel: If its necessary,you'll have to see him

Me: Thank you. Till I'm called then

saxwizard:
runa mdu ok.....or adi moke......hop I got dat ibo correctly




yes u just served us breakfast. ...thanks......



bornita, princedami, hefelove oya come eat as e dey hot na

lols. Was that Igbo? The second one should have being a dim okay. But you tried shaa. How was your night?

The next couple of weeks got me in a different mode. Worst case scenario,Kamsi and Ted were preparing for their engagement night so they had travelled to Abidjan for goodness knows whatever,leaving me all alone. Mum herself was now always busy as her clothing line has being registered and opened. I prayed unendingly for the vacation to be over.

One Thursday,I was so bored so I placed a call to Rose.

Rose: Hello girlfriend

Me: Hi dear. How're you?

Rose: I'm good and you?

Me: I'm fine,just bored to the bones. You mind taking me out?

Rose: Awww. I'll really love to but I'm currently two hours and some minutes far from your location.

Me: Eh? Did you travel too?

She laughed.

Rose: Yes babe. I'll be back tomorrow though,we will do it tomorrow.

Me: Okay. I'll wait then. Better get something for me while coming back.

Rose: I will my dear. Take care.

Me: You too.

Now,what am I going to do? Everyone is just busy with one or two things. Ken? I can't even go to him,since that incident,I've not seen him and its best that way. Gospel? Sweet Jesus,who would go to a devil? Then I'm left with Hillary. We've not spoken that morning and I'm not going to call him. I'll just surprise him,spend the day in his house and then come back late. Yes,that's what I'm going to do. I went into my wardrobe and started fishing for the best outfit to wear to my boyfriend's house. I went for a jean short,a black singlet and a black long packet shirt. This shirt belonged to Ken but I had shaped it in a very sexy way. One thing i liked about this shirt was that it was long and it stopped just an inch above the jean short i had picked. Ehen,I completed it with a jean snicker and smiled at my sense of fashion. I got into the bathroom and spent enough time washing and scrubbing myself. I was over excited. I had being to his house once but didn't stay long. I'm sure he was going to be happy to see me.

The next hour got me in a cab and I was riding to Ogui road. The cab man stopped me in front of the gate,I paid him and went in. Surprisingly,the gate was open so I just walked in. I opened the door to the sitting room and I met no one. He must still be in bed. I climbed the stairs,trying to remember the door to the room he had shown me to be his.

The house was a five bedroom mansion,three rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs. He lived in it alone. I got to the door and opened it gently,with a loving smile plastered on my face.


What did I see? Was that Rose? They both looked in my direction and sat up. Rose was well dressed,either she was just coming in or about going out. She was kissing Hillary who was lying down and shirtless.

I walked further into the room and dropped my handbag on a table.
History was repeating itself but now,its different because I won't go without a fight.

Hillary: Baby,please its not what you think.

I looked at him but no,I'm not coming for you,not yet. And like a ball of fire,I attacked Rose,slaps first,and once she fell on the bed,I climbed her and started raining blows on her face. Hillary tried to separate us but I wouldn't let go. Rose just remained under me,crying for help.

I got tired of wasting my blows and got up from her. I dragged her out of the room and into the sitting room upstairs. I went back to Hillary's room,rummaged my bag and found my phone. I went back to her,took pictures of her messed up face before going back to my boyfriend, sorry,ex boyfriend.
He had succeeded in wearing something decent.

Me: How long has this being going on?

Hillary: Baby,I can explain everything.

Me: I asked,how long?

Surprisingly,my voice was calm but I was breathing fast. Finally,I believe that I'm cursed like one of my monikers had said previously. My parents,daddy Alex,Emeka,Gospel, and now, oh Jesus,Hillary.

Hillary: Baby,its a mistake.

Me: Mistake? Did you say mistake? Both of you were kissing and I'm sure she spent the night here. Hillary why?

I'm also beginning to think that I'm not attractive. Why would two people that I loved do the same things if not that I'm not attractive. Gospel was with another woman,now Hillary and this one hurt most,with my friend.

He came closer to me and held me in his arms,it was now that the tears fell.

Hillary: She came to me, I promise she did. I tried my best to fight it,I tried. But that morning that I told you I had an erection,she was the one at my gate,I was weak and defenseless and she took advantage of that. I've avoided her like a plague till last night when she came back,baby I'm sorry.

Me: Why? Hillary,I love you,why will you choose to treat me like this? Why didn't you even tell me?

Hillary: I wanted to protect your relationship with her. Please forgive me. I promise it won't happen again.

I withdrew from him and cleaned my face.

Me: Of course it won't happen again. I won't give you another chance to mess with my life. You would have gone for someone else,not my friend.

Me: She came to me baby. You know I can never hurt you. I....

Me: We're over. You can do whatever pleases you now. I'm done here.

I clutched my bag and walked out but he followed me. He stopped me at the foot of the stairs and held me,tighter than before.

Hillary: Baby don't do this to me. You know how much I love you,you know how much you mean to me. I'm sorry for what I've done. Please forgive me.

Me: At least,you would have told me before now,you would have told me.

Hillary: I was trying to protect.....

Me: What fu'ckin protection are you talking about? What friendship? You did me bad Lary. I loved you with my life. You're my everything,my life,look what you did to me,look at me now.

He loosened his grip and I used that opportunity to walk out,walking out of the house and promising never to return again.

Morning,ututu oma,how was your night? The motive is to keep you guys longing for more. Hope I did just that.




The next morning,I woke up feeling very happy and satisfied. The first person I had to call was Hillary;

Hillary: Morning baby.

Me: Good morning honey. You still in bed?

He yawned and I knew the answer to my own question.

Hillary: Yea bae. Couldn't sleep well last night.

Me: Ah! What happened?

Hillary: Something serious. I had to manage all night.

I became worried immediately,thinking up different things that could make him loose sleep.

Me: Tell me. What's the problem?

Hillary; Don't worry bae. I'll get over it.

Me: Over what?

Hillary: How was your night?

Me: Now don't even try it. What's wrong with you?

Hillary: You.

I eased up immediately. So,it wasn't that bad.

Me: What do you mean by me?

Hillary: You were going through my mind last night,i couldn't sleep as I was pointing an erection all through.

Now,I was left to wonder what he meant by that.

Hillary; Bae,I'll call you back. Someone's at my gate.

Me: Okay.

I hung up and quickly put on one of my old baggy tops. i had slept unclad last night and it felt really good. I ran out of the house and headed straight to Ken's apartment. He was receiving a call when I got to his sitting room so I sat down and waited. He didn't take long before joining me.

Me: Good morning bro.

Ken: Morning sis. This one you're here with all this modalities,hope you ain't planning a seduction?

Now,I smiled. That's how he talks to both Kamsi and I. If it had being Gospel,he would have ogled me out of his house.

Me: You're sick.

Ken: Yes. I know. So what brings you this morning.

I cleared my throat and thought of the right way to ask him the question.

Me: Please,what does it mean for a guy to say that he was pointing an erection?

He smiled and looked away,making me feel very sorry for asking that question.

Me: I'm....

Ken: Wait. You don't have to feel bad okay. Its normal for every Lady to ask questions. But let me ask,who told you that? Gospel?

Me: No. I called Lary and he was sounding so down. When u asked,he said he didn't sleep well last night cos of the pointing of erection something.

He nodded like he understood and stared at me for a while.

Ken: Let me ask,do you both get under the sheet?

I paused for a while.

Me: Like sex?

He nodded.

Me: No. We've not gone beyond kissing and i feel bad about it because it's like I'm the reason for it.

Ken: What do you mean? Did he ask and you denied him?

Me: No. No. I feel he pities me,he's never asked for it,he doesn't even talk about it. And I'm sure it's because of what....

Ken: Sshh. Stop talking trash.

He came closer and touched my hair.

Ken: You're a beautiful girl and it takes a great man to resist you. You have to stop thinking whatever it is that you're thinking. And don't go throwing yourself on him like you're a flirt. If he wants it,he should initiate it. I'm sure whatever happened in your past is now in your past. Hillary is a nice guy but you don't have to take chances. Don't do anything to kill the respect he has for you okay?

He made sense. A lot of sex,sorry,sense. Here I was,thinking it was time to give myself to my boyfriend but I never thought the other way round,what if he's not ready,what if he has never done it? What if he was waiting till we get married? I smiled at the last thought.

Ken snapped a finger at me and I remembered I owe him an answer.

Ken: Am I clear?

Me: Yes. Of course. Thank you very much.

Ken: Why am I your elder brother then?

I smiled and stood up.

Me: Let me go back to the main house now.

Ken: It's okay. Help me ask your friend what I did to her. She stopped taking my calls.

Me: Rose?

Ken: Yea.

Me: Since when?

Ken: Two days now.

Me: What did you do to her?

He stood up and looked at me

Ken: Nothing. I asked her for her phone so I can call someone since the person wasn't picking my own calls. After that,she got upset and left immediately.

Me: Hmmm. Who did you call?

Ken: A client o. But it was a female.

Me: Huh? And you expect her not to be jealous? And I'm sure you haven't tried to explain things to her.

Ken: Cos she won't pick my calls. Please talk to her. I miss her a lot.

Me: And how much will you pay me?

Ken: Chai. I thought mum was the only business woman we had in this compound?

We had a long round of laughter and I ended up pushing him down to a sofa and finishing him up with pillows. I was now sitting on him and he didn't stop laughing.

Me: If I'm a business woman,what are you? My client then.

He tried lifting me up so I wrapped my arms around him and steadied myself in a way that he won't be able to stand. He placed his hands on my waist and succeeded in standing up. In my effort to fight him,his hands took my top up and my womanhood was on display for him. I didn't know what was happening but he put me down immediately and became uneasy.

Me: I won then. I'll talk to her when I see her okay?

He still didn't respond,instead he looked away.

Me: Ken?

Trying to walk up to him,my top fell back and I realised what just happened. I ran out of the house and bumped into the devil himself.

Gospel: How was it? I've being standing here waiting to tell you that I know what's going on in there.

I hissed and continued from where I stopped,running into the house,upstairs and then into my room.
Ken had seen my womanhood, he had seen me and he didn't react? He didn't say anything like Gospel? Jesus! What am I going to do? Will I ever stand him again? But,Gospel had seen me last night,even for a longer period of time,yet,I wasn't this uncomfortable? Why?

I needed to clear my head,so immediately mum left the house,I dressed up and left the house,ending up at a park. It was the best place to clear my head. Or don't you think so?
