To Love and To Hold 9

" I'm sorry dear " Adeola says from the other end of the phone as I gist her on new happenings.
" I haven't seen him but the nurses say he's fine, he just sustained few injuries but he should be ready to go home by tomorow or next  " I tell her ,noticing an incoming call .
" let me call you back ,My phone is ringing " I say and end the call, Its chuma calling ,I pick the call
" Hey dearie " he says
" Hello, Good afternoon" I answer
- " How are you? "
-" I'm fine, how are you? "
- " I'm good too , I was at your house last night to drop flowers but I saw a man drive out so I changed my mind , I thought you were single" he says more like asking
- " My boss " I say without thinking
-" Your boss at your house? at that time?" He asks suspiciously , I end the call because I knew I was trapped and had nothing to say. I start to get emelda ready to go back to the hospital ,I wonder what to tell Chuma as he calls repeatedly , I cannot continue to ignore his calls or lie to him.
" God help me " I mutter as I pack lunch for Akin and Joro.
My phone beeps. 
" babe I've been straight forward with you, Don't play me ,you know how I feel ,you know how much I'm into you "
I smile ,Chuma is such a nice guy, I hate lying to him but I wonder if he would still be nice guy Chuma if he discovers that I am a poor orphan with a Dying sister.
I ignore more calls from him and put my phone on silent.
" Abeg , I dey go hospital, take care" I say to abubakar as I leave the house
" OK. Greet Oga for me  " he answers in his funny Hausa accent.
I close the gate and notice a car pulling into our driveway , I watch the car park and chuma comes down from it.
" please why have you been ignoring me? " he asks as soon as he gets to me , he pulls emelda's cheeks playful and she laughs.
" I'm on my way to the hospital, My boss was in an accident" I answer
" can we talk on our way there or should I drop you and wait so we can have dinner and talk about it ?" He asks with pleading eyes, I nod a yes ,he collects Emelda while we walk to his car.

He's quiet on the drive to the hospital and I wonder what he's thinking  , I clear my throat
" chuma, I have something to tell you" I  say.
" okay I'm listening dear " he answers , I turn to look at Emelda and gather courage from her playful smile
" I work as a babysitter in that house ,I'm actually an orphan and I don't own the house neither is Emelda mine " I say shakily and hastily.
He goes quiet staring at me intensely with his hands clutching the steering. If looks could kill.

Suddenly a truck overtakes us and yells an insult at him, he turns back to face the road , I sigh .
He drops me off at the hospital without a word or even a goodbye  , I watch him leave. " I knew nice guy Chuma wouldn't be the same if he found out " I say to Emelda as if she understands.
I walk into the hospital to see everybody seated at the reception including Akin.
"What happened? " I asked
"I've been calling you all day, you didn't pick up" Joro answers
"Did you at least get my texts? " Mr Akin adds
"No I didn't " I answer bringing out my phone from my bag to see several calls and messages
"Oh"
I sigh and apologise for the hundredth time as we walk out of the hospital to get a taxi to take us home. They had texted me to let abubakar drive me in the bus to the hospital so we can bring Akin home, I asked them to let me go back to bring the bus with abubakar but Akin says he cannot stand hospitals so we decided to take cabs.
We get to the gate of the hospital and I see chuma's car parked by the gate, I walk towards the car and knock at the window, he opens it and kisses my forehead
"I'm sorry babe" he says sympathetically
I smile and beg him to drop Akin at home while me and joro get a cab, he grumbles about not working for my boss but he agrees .
" My friend has agreed to take you home sir" I tell Akin
He grumbles and eyes me angrily before giving in
"Joro you take a cab, Me and Derinsola will go with him " he says to joro and we. Leave.
The ride home is awfully quiet, me and emelda are in the back seat and Chuma keeps stealing glances at me while Akin keeps sending deadly stares at Chuma, if the atmosphere wasn't this tense I would have laughed so hard, At least emelda is having a good time.
I thank Chuma and wave him goodbye as he drops us home and rush in to go inside the house as it is drizzling.
"Why is everywhere so unkept?" Mr Akin asks angrily as I enter the house, I pretend not to hear and carry emelda so we could go upstairs
" Derinsola, I am talking to you " he yells angrily starling me and causing me to shake with fear, this is someone that is just recovering o.
"I'll clean up after I clean emelda up" I say stuttering
" Emelda is not a baby, clean up now! " he yells again
"Okay sir " I say in a tiny voice and drop emelda down.

•* AKIN'S POV * •
I hate that smile she has on her face because of him, I hate to be in the same car with the man trying to steal my woman, did I just call her my woman? Urrgggh i hate what she does to me and pretends as if she doesn't know.
I'm glad to be out of that antiseptic smelling hospital .
I walk into the living room and everywhere smells of her! Urrgggh I hate that she has so much power over me.
I hate to scream at her but I'm trying to build a defence against her, I was in the hospital because of her, I agree I forgot we were supposed to talk but I remembered on my way and I tried to make a sharp turn but I didn't see the road block so I turned sharply and hit the road block and the last thing I saw was her. Derinsola.
I didn't mean to scream at her,the way she answered shakily, I felt like hugging her from behind
"Emelda is not a baby anymore, start cleaning now " I yell again, my defence mechanism is so bad.

Sugar Daddy Chronicles
Episode 1.
I Park my car and inhale sharply reminiscing all that happened minutes ago.
I went to chief sanya's office because he hasn't been picking my calls or replying my texts for 2 weeks now and I was getting broke, I haven't even been out in two weeks because I've been managing money. So I got to the office and find ago secretary on the desk.
I smile happy he had changed that slutty secretary of his
" Hi. Can I see chief sanya please? " I asked with the fakest smile I have.
" let me call him" she answers
"Oh no don't, I want to surprise daddy" I say lying, hoping she doesn't realise he has a daughter that isn't me.
I know if she would have called him, he wouldn't have let me in and I didn't want to be embarrassed by him in front of this cheaply dressed secretary.
"Err rr okay" she answers unsure of her decision to let me in
I blow her a kiss and cat-walk down to his office, I didn't knock, I knew he didn't like closing his door even when we had office sex, the door was always open. The risk was what made it fun for me because sex with Chief was boring!! .
I open the door and meet a gory sight.
A naked lady bent over him on the couch with his dick in her mouth, I open my mouth in shock and disbelief.
" Sanya!!" I scream
She quickly stands up and turns to stare at me, it's the slutty secretary that was replaced, no wonder he was always supporting her whenever I complained that she was too slutty for a secretary.
She smiles and shrugs, I feel like twisting her tiny neck but the. She's not worth it.
" How can I help you and who let you in? He asks angrily in his annoying yourba accent .
I walk over to him hiss and then turn to the girl
"I hope he lasts longer with you " I say with scorn.
" good riddance, short timing man " I hiss and drive home.
I walk upstairs, I pass John's flat and smile
"One day I'll get you " I say and walk past.
Let me tell you about john.
John is a very attractive Christian brother, born again and sort of broke, at least his old model camry says so, Normally I don't like broke guy, I didn't like John until the day I jammed myself inside the house.
It was 4:30 am and I had a serious morning dick appointment on the island with Sanya at 6:00am, I woke up quickly so I could dress up and do my make up in time, but after I had showered, I realised I had my make up bag in the car, I put on a short top and my pants thinking it's too early and nobody will be outside, I tired opening the door, it was jammed lock and couldn't open unless from outside, I tried and tried for 30 minutes, it still didn't budge, I was going to be late if I didn't open the door and start getting dressed I thought to myself, I banged on the door severally thinking one of my floor neighbours will hear and open the door but nobody did, Then I remembered I had John's number, I called an begged him to help me open the door, he came and after plenty screwing and unscrewing, I was free, I hugged him the moment the door opened and he hesitated and gently pushed me away but not before I felt a bulge hitting me softly, I looked down to see the biggest bulge ever, I almost screamed, since that day I fantasised about him, I would wake up early to borrow something from him just to seduce him but he was always fighting me internally because I would see his disk standing gallantly but he would frown and say
"Sorry, I don't have " then shut his door on my face. That didn't stop me from going everyday tho.
Back to now, I have always kept one sugar daddy at a time because I didn't like drama and I was scared of infections or Hiv/aids .right now I regret because I had shopped so much and I barely have enough to last me a month and I badly needed money. I still can't believe he left me for that dirty secretary, I hiss and pray for another sugar daddy.
I sit by my window and watch the streets, I watch people closing for the day and some still doing business, I stay in Ogba, Lagos and my street is always busy, My house is at the entrance of the street so I see everything from the window and if I'm careful enough I don't get seen ,i think of what to eat and get up to go cook when I see john's car driving into the drive way of our house, I feel something rush through me as john gets out of his car, I notice somebody else get down from the other part and it's a lady!!
" When did John start bringing girls home? " I ask myself and go fix myself something to eat.
An hour later I start to hear moaning sounds from downstairs and I wonder who it is, that's why I like my flat, I can hear everything if I listen enough .
I walk downstairs to be sure which flat it is and lo and behold it's from john's flat!! .
I walk back to my room and drown myself in the moan, I wish that was me, I start to think too much and then bring out my Love Machine to help myself, the moaning sound is turning me on, I help myself till I no longer hear the moaning sound and then I orgasm and put off the Love Machine.

Hi hi hi [b]Hi hi hi [/b]Hi hi hi new story coming up, I promise to update frequently lol
Read My other stories and please this is an 18+ story oo don't come and say I'm too raw biko.
oh and I have a nairaland diary too check it out!!!

*Back To Derin's P.o.v *
I finally put emelda to bed after plenty begging and threatening that a monster will come to eat her up if she doesn't sleep, I pretended to sleep too out of fear and that was what made her finally agree to sleep.
I walk downstairs and the house is unusually silent, No t.v playing loud, I check the kitchen and it's clean, the plates has been washed and no sign of Mr Akin
I wait for some minutes in the living room still no sign of him
"Maybe I should put the t.v on so he could know I'm here waiting " I think to myself
I put on the t.v and wait still no sign of him, so I decided to go upstairs to check him, he probably fell asleep, I walk upstairs and knock on his door
- No reply
I knock again
- no reply
I knock again
-No reply
I push the door a little and open it, it's empty, no water sound in the bathroom, I open the bathroom.door, empty too
I sigh and walk back to my room
I should have known it was mere wishful thinking for me to have thought that He would want to have anything to do with me, but why does it hurt tho?
Maybe he was kidnapped!?
I run downstairs out of the house to the security's
"Abubakar Abubakar " I call loudly
I knock on his door, still no answer
I knock even loudly and then he answers sluggishly " madam "
"Where oga? "
" he drive comomot " he answers wiping sleep off his face, I shake my head and he goes back to sleep
This is someone that is paid to watch the house oo .
I lay on my mind and I allow the tears run down freely, God just have mercy and change my story I cry and pray repeatedly.
My phone beeps
" Hi Derinsola, I'm sorry I had to rush.out....see you in the morning " Il
I read the text and I feel half of the pain reducing
Thank you Jesus I say and allow myself fall asleep .
**********
I wake up to plenty noise from downstairs, immediately I wake, emelda wakes up too crying, the noise must have woken her, I pick her up and go downstairs
"Joro, what's happening ?" I ask as I notice joro and other people packing stuffs
"Akin was in an accident, we need to get things to the hospital for him" he answers
"Please make some sausages and tea for him " he adds
I drop emelda down and get to work," how did this even happen? Why was he out so late? " and many other questions keep crossing my mind.
We finish and we're off to the hospital we're in the reception, the nurses say he can't see anybody now, he just had a blood transfusion and is slowly waking up
I silently pray all the prayers I know how to pray.
I notice a lady seated next to us is for Mr Akin too, I want to ask joro who she is but joro is so tense he can't even talk.
Emelda is walking about playing as if her father isn't in the i.c.u
The doctor comes out and all of us stand up
"Who is family to Mr Akin? " he asks, I wanted to raise my hands and say me but just because we had dinner together and almost kiss doesn't make us family, I shake my head and sit down .
"I'm sure Akin would want to see me " the other lady that looks really familiar says and eyes me.
She leaves with the doctor throwing me hateful stares.
She really looks familiar

Hi, I know my updates are not regular but I've been really doing a lot lately and no constant of power supply, right now I'm writing this chapter in a vigil, because I don't know when else I can be able to charge and type so yeah and I have been battling heart break and an emotionally abusive relationship (my chesssst) but I'm fine sha. I'm sorry I keep y'all waiting all the time *chop Kiss *


Yes o, he asked me to make dinner.
Emelda fell asleep right before I could start making dinner, so I decided to take her upstairs to sleep, I wanted to wash the rice first , I was washing the rice when Mr Akin came into the kitchen
"Emelda's already sleeping, bring her let her sleep on my legs "
I turn to look, please am I dreaming?
I carry her slowly over to her dad's, I still don't believe this, I hand her over and eye him suspiciously.
"Continue the cooking, i'll not eat her up joor " he says and I laugh. I didn't think so.

Dinner is served and emelda is awake now, she can smell food from her dreams and she doesn't eat much o, just to play with the food. I dish my food, so I could go eat in my room.
"Where are you going? Mr Akin asks as I walk past the living room, with emelda on the other hand, she can walk now but with support sha and plenty staggering.
"I'm going to my room " I answer, emelda keeps tucking at my skirt, so I look down to see that she has removed one of her shoe and she cannot get it back on by herself, I raise my head back up to see Mr Akin standing right in front of me trying to collect my plate of food, he is too close ,i cant breathe, he leans forward a little " o.m.g I can't breathe, did I brush this morning, I can't even kiss " i think and start to sweat, I lean closer and just as he was about to put his hands around my neck to kiss me ,emelda starts to yell "Ma ma ma ma" I look down, I had totally forgotten about her.
"We are having dinner together ma "I bend to help emelda with her shoe, I feel like slapping her for interrupting my kiss moment!.
" please Derinsola " Mr Akin repeats with a cute face I can't refuse
"Okay, but please don't bore me to death" I say with a stern face.
Dinner goes by quietly for some minutes and then he goes
"Tell me your story " I look at him wondering where that came from, or where to start, that I am an orphan with a sick sister and a broken heart
I look at him and the concern on his face is so real, I almost want to cry
"I want to know everything, Derinsola"
Urrgggh when he calls me Derinsola, shivers run down my spine.
I hit emelda's hands off her food, that was the distraction I needed from crying, I frown at her then she looks at her dad with a fake crying face and points at me

"Look at who's ganging up against me oo" I say and clap my hands, I can't tell him about how I've failed in life
He laughs and says she's a bad baby sitter and stubborn emelda pretends to hear him and continues picking her food
"I sigh, tell me your story instead "I ask wondering if what the media says about him is true.
He tells me everything about how he had to work so hard to get to where he is now, how he was born poor (I used to think he has being rich ever since) ,he even tells me about how emelda's mum died at childbirth and how much he loved / loves her because I can see his eyes sparkle when he talks about her and I feel a new kind of feeling, I feel jealous.
I laugh, awwwwwed at some, laughed out loud at many and emelda disturbed us at some,i had to put her down to walk her sorrows away.
Dinner is over and I packed the plates to the kitchen
"I'll wash them " Mr Akin Offered
I was so happy because I was dead tired, but I had to refuse because I am paid to help yet
"No really, Derinsola let me do it "
"Washing clears my head " he adds and I smile. I take emelda upstairs, she is throwing tantrums but I need to shower her and take her to bed, she is too hyper for someone that was sick recently.
" can we talk a little after she has slept? He asks
"Yeah sure " I answer and rush off to tantrum throwing emelda.

*Mr Akin's p.o.v *
I can't stop thinking about the way she smiles, the love she has for emelda is so real, I wonder if Kemi didnt send her from heaven to help me raise emelda, one of this days I should call Kenneth to thank him for bringing her to me .
" She is so beautiful " I say out loud, where did that come from I wonder
I have to remind myself that i owe Kemi love, even if she is dead, I can't get over her ,I really was in love with her
Why does death take the nicest people?
I rinse the last plate off the sink when I hear my phone ring
-" Hello " I pick without checking the caller's i.d
- Akin, I am at the beach house where are you?
-"I'm home, moji? " I ask recognising the familiar voice
-"I'm waiting be fast it's cold " she says nd ends the call.
I quickly rush upstairs to get my car keys and change my shorts.

To Love and to Hold 7.
I wake up to emelda crying, that is unusual because she always wake up happy, I pick her up and rock her but she still won't stop, I sing to her and tickle her and she still won't stop, I take her clothes off and take her to the bathroom to shower her and realise how hot her body is, then I start to panic a little, she has never been sick before o.
I take her downstairs to feed her while I wait for joro to come home, she refuses to eat, I get my wrapper and back her while I sing for her.
" joro, emelda's sick " I say to joro immediately he enters the house
"Sick ke? She is never sick " he answers feeling her body
- is oga home? " he asks,
- " I haven't seen him since the incident two days ago " I answer pacing around the room
" maybe he is at the beach house in lekki, " he answers, dialling his number
After telling him the situation and plenty of Sir, alright sir he finally ends the call
" He'll be here in 15 mins, he hopes you haven't given her something you've got " joro says laughing at the last sentence
I shake my head, his baby is sick and he's there making stupid jokes thinking I might have infected her, I hiss and sit on the couch while I wait for him to come.
20, minutes later he's here, he insists, I must go with him ,we are ready to go, just as we were about driving out the gate man knocks on His car window and gives him flowers and says it's from one "yellow" man
I know instantly it was from Chuma, the guy from the mall, there is a note in the flowers, Mr Akin reads it and give the flowers to me mumbling some words I don't hear.
I read the note and throw the flowers to the back seat.
" Can you stop giving my House address to your numerous boyfriends? " he asks once we left the house,
What numerous boyfriends, just one person sends flowers and he is calling him numerous , I do not answer him
He clears his throat
"Derinsola, I am talking to you please answer me " he asks this time in a pleading but firm voice, and for the first time he calls my name, my heart melted at the sound of my name from his mouth. I look at him and cannot look away, there is a soft look on his face this time, a look I have never noticed
"Derinsola" he says again, and I smile , my heart flutters, he turns to look at me and we are lost in each others eyes. He looks away after a danfo over takes him roughly and insults him, I smile and look at him again, the hard look is back to his face. The ride is silent till we get to the hospital.
The hospital is the same hospital fiyin is at, I was so shocked we he pulled into their driveway, I couldn't breathe
" is this the hospital? " I asked shakily
"Yes, I know you can see? " he answered, I ignored him and walked slowly into the reception
"Ahn Ahn, derin, " the nurse at the reception greets before seeing Mr Akin and bowing down to greet him
" it's been a while, you just abandoned us " another nurse says.
Truth is I have been scared to see fiyin, I couldn't tell her I lost my job and that I was broke. Although I had paid up my debts with my first salary, I wasn't allowed to leave the house.
Emelda is with her dad at the doctors office, turns out she is teething and it is affecting her seriously, I decide to go to fiyin's room in the private ward.
I stay at the door, still contemplating going back, then I knock slowly, I knock again - no answer, then I push the door, I see fiyin, laying down facing the wall, tears immediately drop from my eyes and I run to her and hold her in my arms, I cry quietly when I realise she's sleeping.
O.m.g sister derin " she says weakly
" My baby girl " I answer cleaning my eyes and smiling
"Baby girl that you abandoned " she says, sounding really better now
" look at you. Looking so good " I say back dodging her answer
I hug her again and then we gisted for a while, I regret not coming here all this while, she says she loves me and then we hug and I tell her I love her more.
We stay like that for a while till I heard the door open,
" I have been waiting for you " he says handing over emelda to me, she laughs and pulls my hair
"O.m.g, are you married??" fiyin asks eyes wide open
" no " Mr Akin and I both say together
" I work for him, I take. Of his child " I say and Mr Akin turns to leave
"Please meet me in the car in 10 mins "
Emelda likes fiyin, I can tell from the way she laughs when fiyin touches her, I on the other hand is still looking at the door through which Mr Akin Left. We hug and kiss our goodbyes and I promise to keep in touch more, just when I was about leaving fiyin said
" take care of him too " I shrug and blows her a kiss.
What does she mean by that? I kept on thinking till I got to the car park.
" I said 10 mins, this is over 20 mins " Mr Akin says as soon I get into the car
"Please sir, I am not in the mood " I answer and he drives off.

Just as we get to the house, I was about to get down from the car, Mr Akin holds my hands
" I'm sorry " he says, and I see concern or is it pity, in his eyes, unfortunately I am done needing anybody's pity or sorry. I chuckle and come down.

***********
I put emelda in her cot to sleep, the drugs they gave at the hospital made her sleep almost immediately after, I watch her sleep so peacefully, and I am so happy she can sleep, Then I hear a knock on the door
" Derinsola, please can I see you?" I know instantly who that was
Why doesn't he ever call me derin " I say to myself and yimu, I look around my room and see how scattered it is, I can't let him in here before he will give me a lecture about how I'm making the room unbearable for emelda to grow in
"I'll be downstairs in a bit " I answer picking all the dirty stuffs from the floor.
"Took you years to get here"
What's with this man and attitude, after begging me to come downstairs.
"I was tucking emelda in " I answered
Hmmmmn , so a nurse told me about your sister, how long has she been there? " asks
"You should have asked her " I answered angry that a nurse will divulge a patients information to anybody, even if he is a celebrity, is that not against their code of conduct or something?
" I'm sorry"
" I saw you in there and I was curious, my she didn't want to tell,, I made her "
-" that is still not enough reason to go about asking about a patient and the nurse for spilling her information "
-" why are you always bitter?" he ask, that took me by surprise, I just opened my mouth but nothing came out
-" bitter, really?" I ask with a new anger filling up,
-" you think I'm always bitter? Live my life a day and see if you can survive " I say and run upstairs.
I always try my best to be happy despite what life has thrown at me, I do not sulk or whine rather I do my job dillegently, how can anyone call me bitter?? " I say to myself.
I sob for a long time and then fell asleep, only to wake up to emelda crying, thank God she woke me up at the right time, it was time for her drugs.
"Who's the cutest baby?" I coo at her, half begging her to take her drugs
She laughs and I quickly put the spoon in her mouth, she notice and frowns , she starts to cry and I give her ribena, immediately she saw it she threw her hands in the air and started laughing.
" you should have your own kids soon" Mr Akin says walking into the kitchen
I laugh and he come closer and carries Emelda, this is the first time I'm seeing him carrying her.
She starts to cry immediately
"Ma ma, ma ma, mama " she says repeatedly motioning for me to carry her
"Omg, no way, stealing my child now?" he ask and I see hurt flash through his eyes for a second
I laugh and collect her back .
He stares quietly for some minutes
"Please make dinner " he says and leaves.
Did I just imagine that?

To Love and To hold 6
Later that day, Mr Akin called me to the living room, I thought he was apologise so I laid emelda down on her bed to sleep and put on my resting bitch face, ready to refuse his apology. I walked downstairs sluggishly, when I got there he was with Mr charming and The girl from last night, I thank God I wasn't backing emelda this time.
"Good afternoon" I greet no one in particular, the girl just waves her hands, Mr charming flashes his billion dollars smile and I smile sheepishly back, Mr Akin clears his throat
"Madam, is joro around? " Ehn, did he just call me all the way downstairs to ask of joro?
"He took the range rover to the mechanic " I answer already boiling with anger, I put my hands on my waist and d wait for more then he gives me a paper
1. Hennessy x 2
2. Coca cola x3 pack
3. Eva water big size X 2 pack
4. Mcdowells x 3
5 . 4 packs of cigarette
I give him a "what's this about " look, he catches the drift and smiles
"There's a mini mall at the entrance gate, my friends are bored, please be fast " i was going to give him a piece of my mind, but then I thought of emelda
"The baby? " I ask
"She will take care of it " he answers pointing at the thin looking girl, she groans and he smiles at her
I almost hiss, how can you not even care about your own child, maybe when that karashika plucks your baby eyes with her long claws your eyes will clear," I murmur as I change into Jean trousers and a tank top, I look as emelda sleeping peacefully, I decide to take her along, I get the baby carrier and tuck her in front of me, I look at the mirror, I look like Kim kardashian with north, haa hot mum alert.
I pass the living room and they are now watching football, they do not even notice me pass, I shake my head and leave.
I have been waiting for Keke maruwa for 15 minutes now and this sun is not funny, so I decide to trek, few minutes into my trekking, an empty keke maruwa comes and I enter .
Just as I was about entering the mall, I hear a voice call my name, I turn to see Kola leaning on a car, motioning for me to come
"Am I dreaming?" I kept on saying till I got to where he was
I lost everything I had to say to him the moment I say him, he had changed a lot, he's fatter and lighter now
"You have a baby now? " he asks breaking the silence
I want to lie and say yes so I can hurt him the way he hurt me, but a part of me still cares for him
"No, it's my boss's "
- " you look different, you look really good, how's fiyin
I smile, how dare he ask about fiyin, after abandoning us.
-" okay, give me your number, we need to talk " he says quickly as if he's in a hurry
-" give me your's
He opens the car and gives me his business card,
-" c.e.o? "
-" just call me, make sure you do " he says and walks to collect shopping bags from an older lady
"Who is that?" I heard her say
" nobody, someone I just helped " he answered and kissed her cheeks
I watched him walk her to the car and open the door for her, the tears are refusing to fall, maybe I have cried too much. I turned and walked into the mall.
I was shopping for drinks when I heard somebody say
" shopping alone?" I turn to see a tall light skinned man talking to me
-" not really, I have emelda" I say laughing a little, he laughs and touches emelda's cheeks
"She is so cute " he says and smiles
-" yeah, I know right "
- " Married?
-" oh no
-" lol the baby isn't yours?
-" oh, she is mine " I lied
We shop together, laughing at his jokes and mine, I can't remember when I ever laughed this hard, he pays for the things I bought and walks me to the door
"Where's your car? " he asks,
-" oh, I didn't feel like driving " I lied again
" Haaa, with all this things you bought? What's your address, let me drop you " he asks and I give him .
I'm thinking of the lies I've told him as we drive to the house, I don't even know why I lied, I probably just liked the attention and didn't want to send him away by saying I am an orphaned baby sister with a sick sister.
"Why so quiet?" he asks turning my cheeks to face him
"Nothing, I'm just tired I guess " I answer and emelda laughs, we both turn to look at her, she's playing with her sucker and is having so much fun, on maybe she is laughing at my lies.
He drops me off and collects my number.
" I can't wait to see you again " he says as I wave him goodbye .


"Where have you been?" Mr Akin says as soon as I enter the living room
"Taking my daughter out of my house " he add angrily
I stutter as I think of what to say, emelda starts crying, I drop his stuffs on the centre table and go upstairs .
I lay on my bed and think of Kola and what he said "she's just somebody I helped? " ,i remove his business card from my back pocket and tear it to pieces
I hiss and let the tears fall. After crying for a while, I look at emelda and she's staring at me looking sad, I pick her up and kiss her cheeks
"Ma ma " she says, I open my eyes wide with shock and then tears begin to roll again, I kiss her cheeks again
"I love you so much, my darling emelda "
And I kiss her and tickle her tummy, she laughs and calls me mama again in between laughs.
How happy she makes me, if only she was mine.

To Love and to Hold 5
I wake up with a massive headache, I dreamt about kola again, this time it was more intense, we were tied together in the middle of a burning room, the fire was burning hot and I was screaming, the fire wasn't burning me but it was burning Kola and he was screaming, I was shouting for help but it wasn't coming out, I was voiceless, he kept on screaming, his eyes started to come out of his sockets. That was when I woke up.
I sigh and walk over to emelda's cot, she is still sleeping peacefully, I smile "if only I could do sleep as peacefully as her "
I walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, I wash my face and look at myself in the mirror
"I miss derin " I say to my reflection.
I go downstairs to do the dishes and make Emelda's food before she wakes, I get to the kitchen and my mind wanders off to yesterday's incident, I sigh and open the fridge to get water to drink.
"Please what part of the contract asks you to cook for me? " Mr Akin asks starling me and causing the water to spill on my chest
What is it with this man and jumping on people" I say and roll my eyes. I turn to face him and see him doing the dishes
- I'm sorry, I thought you were hungry or something, Good morning sir "
- "don't you knock?" He answers, shaking his head and continues doing the dishes
I walk to the sink to help him
" I was going to do that " I say rinsing the already washed plates, he turns to look at me and his eyes fall on my wet shirt hugging my chest tightly,I almost see desire flash through his eyes, I follow his eyes and then he looks up
"Throw that away" he says pointing to a nylon of the jollof and chicken I made last night, I cannot hide my shock, I open my mouth to speak but nothing is coming out
He washes his hands and leaves the kitchen. Every nerve in my body is so angry right now .i pick the remaining plates and start to wash, then Emelda starts to cry
This her cry cry is getting out of hands o, I understand that she is teething but still, she is 9 months old for Christ's sake !!
I wipe my hands dry and go get her. I get to my room and she has stopped crying but my phone is ringing
- hi baby girl!! " deola says gigging
- hi, my baby, what's up??
- I'm good, how's life at Akin's " she says adding emphasis to akin
- the baby is fine but my boss is a complete meanie!!
- what happened? Gist me " she says and I gist her everything
- it's the jollof rice that is paining me sef " she says laughing loudly
I miss her loud laugh sha
She says she is as work and will call me later I night, I hold the phone to my ears even after she has ended the call, I miss deola, I miss fiyin, God please help us.
I get back to the kitchen and all the plates had been washed and neatly arranged, I smile "if that is bribe, I am not accepting" I say to myself.
I start making noodles for emelda, she suddenly started liking it after giving her some of mine days ago, of course I am a making hers extra soft.
"Good morning Derin" Joro's came in and greeted
"I didn't even hear you come, if I gist you what happened today ehn" I say clapping my hands
Me and Joro have become really close ever since I came in here and he knows everything about me apart from my dark parts tho
He laughs and says "I'm sure you've met Mr Akin ".

mercyymai:

lol, you're welcome, I will mention you on every update now ma

abefe99:
update please it interesting

thank you, update ready....short update but I will update more in the morning

To Love and to Hold 4.
I hear laughter from the living room, but I am too scared to go out there, I lay on my bed and think of Kola. He was the only person who knew about my dark past, the only person who stayed with me and loved me despite of it, the only person I have ever loved, I feel tears starting to gather and emelda begins to cry loudly ,i walk quickly to her cot and carry her, I plant a kiss on her cheeks and sing to her like I always do, but she is having none of that, infact she begins to cry even loudly.
I get a wrapper and put her on my back and dance around the room, aunt emelda still crying
"And her food is in the kitchen o" I say to myself thinking of how to go to the kitchen without meeting Mr Akin and his friend, I take a deep breath and start to make to the kitchen with emelda still on my back and crying gently now.
As if on cue, immediately we get to the living room she starts to cry louder and I just quickly walk past before they turn to notice me.
I drop her in her chair and start to mix her cereal.
"Hi, you're the new baby -sitter right?" a voice asks starting me and causing me to spill milk on my hands.
"Yes I am" I say shakily turning to meet Mr Akin
"My name is derin" I add and bow slightly,
"Hmmmmn" he says touching emelda's cheeks slightly, she smiles at him he frowns back and leaves the kitchen.
I quickly mix her food and feed her. The news around is that he has a baby from a model, but she denied it although he said nothing about it, perhaps she dropped the baby and left, she probably wasn't ready for motherhood, he doesn't look like he is ready for fatherhood too.
I shrug and think of what to make for dinner, although I don't know if I should be cooking but then I am a little hungry and I'm Sure Mr Akin will be too.
I put emelda back on my back and start to make dinner, I'm making jollof rice and chicken because I'm not sure what he likes and Joro's number is not reachable.
I serve the food on the dining table and walk upstairs to let him know that dinner is served, I hear strange sounds as I climb the stairs, it gets louder as I approach his room but now it is swallowed a little by a soft classical song playing.
I wonder who it could be, I heard Mr charming leave already, I listen for a while and then knock, I knock again and wait for a minute, so I knock even louder and I was just about leaving when u hear a faint " Yeah "
He is probably in the bathroom, I think and open the door to see a fully naked woman on top of him riding him slowly, I don't know if they can see me but I am unable to move, I remember I have emelda on my back so I turn to leave slowly.
"Apparently the yeah wasn't for me "
