sometimes its best to keep your secret all to yourself. because even your best friend has a best friend . when i couldnt get max to leave the house, and we had started our illicit fling, i stopped telling her things. i was always dismissive when she brought up the issue of max. we kept in touch until i travelled.which i still continued. one day she asked me to send her 100 thousand i told her i would try as inwas not working but only have my pocket money, i dixdnt want to ask my husband because he just sent money to my family and most importantly he doesnt really fancy her as my friend. thanks to the fall of naira i was able to send her sixty thousand from my pocket money, when i called to ask if she had received the money she sounded cold saying she asked for a hundred and am sending sixty, i was marveled and asked her if she gave me money to keep for her, instead of her to say thanks she was beidng an ingrate. two weeks later . She sent me a Whatsapp message saying I should send her two hundred thousand naira that week or my little secret will come to light.
I was enraged . this was blackmail. So I called her back
"Chelsea, what's the meaning of your message"
"I thought you went to school, can't you read"
"Are you trying to blackmail me"
"You think because you are married and living in America, you are better than me, let's see what happens when your hubby hears that his pretty little wife is a LovePeddler"
" you are my best friend chel, why are you doing this"
"Best friend my foot, what have you done for me all this years of our friendship? I have always been there for you" and by the way, I have tasted that cucumber you were stealing behind your husband's back, yes I mean max, he is so huge"
"What?
"Don't be surprised dear, I have you cornered
I hung up the phone and called Max.

"Did you sleep with my friend Chelsea? I asked immediately he picked up
"Its not what you think" max replied
"What do you mean, its a yes or no question , dammit I shouted
"OK, before bros found out about you and I she was blackmailing me, she first started with monetary demands, she kept on collecting, then one day she came home and said you had told her I was good in giving orals and demanded I do it to her, I refused but then she brought out her phone and played a recording of both ofbyou talking at the bar when you were telling her what transpired between us , she promised to post of on Facebook and tag bros. And also send it to his phone. I had no other choice but to do it, I didn't want to risk spoiling your marriage. And she has been coming for sex since then.

"Why didn't you tell me all this while"
"I didn't want you to panic and freak out besides I promised not to contact you directly.
"She is blackmailing me Now" I said
"What?, am going to call her.,"
"No,,don't, I will handle her. I said
"How will you do that?
"I will tell my husband"
"What? Why, is that a good idea,? Max asked
"Don't worry. He will know what to do”, I said and hung up.

OK. People, 2 more updates to mark the end of this story. Remember Chelsea? Stay tuned

***********"AMAKA************
Even though my husband's words and actions hurt me so much, I know am blessed to have him as my husband, how many men would condole an adulterous woman. I guess they are very few. Its not his fault to suspect me with every man that comes around me, I know I broke his heart in a million pieces, and once trust is broken, its hard or never gotten back.
I choose to ignore any I'll treatment from him. I will fight for my marriage, I won't quit, I may have failed once, but I won't let Satan break up my home, I will give it my all. So help me God.

********later that night********
Since we got back from church and had that confrontation, my husband had not spoken to me. He has been in his room, he has not even asked for his food. I guess he is not happy with me. I must make an effort. I put the baby to sleep and tucked her in properly.
I had a scented bath, put on some body shimmer,, wore a beautiful transparent nighty. With the perfume he bought for me. I went to the kitchen and cut up some fruit and made fruit salad, I set it on the tray, dished up his food, a meal of jollof rice and chicken, placed it on the tray with and got a bottle of a cream liquor and ice cubes, armed with this, I went to my husband's room.
"I come bearing gifts "
"What do you want" he asked
"I want to feed my husband" I replied
"I am not hungry, and even if I am. I am not a child"
"Its either you eat what I brought or i eat you"
He stopped pressing his phone and looked at me, now I had his attention, I stood up in the guise of opening the dish and bent down to touch my toes and my skimpy nighty exposed my bums.
"Honey, I don't want to fight anymore, I am sorry for not being the kind of wife you deserve, I said as I knelt down and held his hands. Forgive me baby I continued.
He looked deeply at me and said nothing. So I continued my plea bargaining
"I know you love me and I betrayed that trust. But I promise not to ever betray you again, but I am not saying you should believe me, I promise I will spend the rest of my life trying to proof to you I have truly changed.
"Come my love, stand up" my husband said, pulling me up to my feet.
"You know I love you right? My husband asked, I love you so much I can't stand another man, mess up with you. But I also know you have changed. Am sorry too". Now where is the gift you brought"

We ate together, and I cleared the plates.
"Thank you honey, it was delicious,"
"You are welcome love, I relaxed on his body sipping the cream liquor.
"You know, I was telling God to help me fix my marriage" my husband said.
"Awww., am sure He did, now its time we fix something else, your food has digested. I said
"You look so delectable. If this is a ploy to seduce me, its really working, now there is something i have been meaning to do all night since you came to my room"
"What is that"
"To eat some honey"
"Then you have to come dig for it, i ran to a corner of his room and he came after me
We made serious love and i slept off in his room, i woke up in the middle of the night covered but he was not there. I got up and went to look for him, found him in my room rocking the baby back to sleep.
Yes my life is perfect. And i will do allbin my power to make it stay thay way

We closed from service and my husbands PA was carrying his bag and some other things, I was carrying princess and my hand bag. I was waiting for one of the Church workers to come and carry the baby's stroller. The PA dropped the bag and came back to take the stroller to the car, he asked me how to dismantle it and I was telling him when my husband came into the church. The look he gave me was one of disgust , he had this look like" I know you can't be trusted" I felt cold instantly. But I put up a cheerful face till we got home.
We got come and I was boiling with anger so I decided to keep quiet so I don't provoke him. I was changing my cloth when he came to my room and said
"You know Daniel has the spirit of lust"
"Hmmm" I replied
"I can see the way he was looking at the sisters in the Church"
"Hmmmm" I said
"Even l saw him looking at you"
"You know what honey, I am not and I don't have an intention of sleeping with him, please stop fretting over nothing I blurted out"
"Did I say you want to sleep with,him?
"The look you gave me in Church I don't like it, I don't know of in will ever get out of this space I said.
"Am just saying be careful" with that he walked away

********Pst Dan*****
I don't mean to hurt my wife but I get so scared when another man is around her, I want to protect her because I think she is vulnerable or she is easy carried away. I mean if she bcould sleep with my own brother then what's stopping her from doing it with someone else. Lord please help me, I have mapped out my strategy but its not working, the plan had been to seem harsh and strict, maybe I was too soft on her all these years. I don't want to be a walk over but its made my wife think I don't love her. I admit I sometimes remember what happened between her and max and don't think I should care for her, I don't know why its hard all of a sudden. God help my marriage please. I know if Amaka gets enough money she might leave me, I once picked her diary where she was writing a story titled TRAPPED. She wrote about herself as a caged bird in a loveless marriage. I tore it and threw it away. I want to save my marriage Lord but I don't know how

Okay people 10 comments before the next update.

"Pregnant?, as in "pregnant with baby?
"Yes"
"Wow. Thank you Jesus. My husband screamed with joy but sunddenly stopped
"Is it mine?"
I felt like a knife had pierced my heart. How could he ask such.
"YES its yours"
"Are you sure" he asked looking deep into my eyes
"Ofcourse irs beeñ over a year i felt nigeria remember?"
That did rhe trick, he kissed me softly
"Sorry i had to ask, tjos max drama is still getting to me" he said
"I understand, but i have a question for you. Please I need the truth"
"You know I have never lied to you"
"Why are you not angry at me? Or you want to punish me when i dont expect? I asked
"What did you expect me to do, beat you, send you away, tell everyone? If i do any of these will it change the fact that you slept with max? No. And we hurt God everyday and He forgives us. Punishment makes us hardened but forgivesness should drive us to genuine repentance. I wont deny i am not hurt, no man wants to share his woman, not to his brother."
" i am indeed sorry"
" i know, i watch you and see how restless you have been carrying such secret all this while. I have forgiven you from my heart then you should learn to forgive yourself, ok"
"Ok"
"I think we shiuld celebrate our new baby"
"How do you suppose we do that i asked
"Daddy wants to tickle his baby"
"I love you daddy,
We made super sweet love. I felt a buden being lifted from my shoulders.


*********back to present**********"

I dont know what happened. Its been a year since my confession , my husband has simply changed fromnthe sweet caring man to a very insensitive man. Sex has turned from romantic to chore. He just comes and cums and gooes, no pre-intimacy, no kisses, just dry like that.
He gets angry at the slightest provoaction and lets me slave all day, he has refused tobget a nanny for me and doesnt offer any help. Some days are good and we gist and laugh but in the midst of that laughter, his mood can cjange without warning.

He's relationship with max is back on track and he is even sponsoring him , max was always calling himbfor one thing or the other. I valled max with a hidden number one day and asked him if he has no shame. " its not everything you call my husband" please give is privacy, leave us alone. Whenever you call, you make things bad for me. I said to him. I didnt give himna chance to reply and hung up.

"baby your fabourite program is about to start"
My husband called out to me, i still lay in bed after about two minutes he came to the door and said
"Are you not coming to watch?
"No"
"Are you ok"
"Yes i am fine"
"You dont sound fine", he came up to the bed and rolled me over, ahn ahn why are you crying now he said and you are even running temperature. What is it?
"Please honey, i beg you. Please punish me yourself, dont report me to your mum and family please"
"But they need to know what max has done"
" i am the married one, i will be termed a LovePeddler, please i cried again"
"I will think about it"
"No baby, please i will accept any punishment from you but please cover my shame"
I knealt down and begged my husband.
"I dont want my children to be tagged, children of a prostitute please" i held onto his legs and begged.
"Its ok, i promise" he said. Now clean your eyes and come to the living room
"Words are powerful, please forgixve your brother i added
"I called him back and he has apologized. I placed him on a seven day fast and prayer, as the condition to his freedom otherwise whatever happens to him its his doing"
"There is something else"
"What is it"
" I am pregnant"

"baby your fabourite program is about to start"
My husband called out to me, i still lay in bed after about two minutes he came to the door and said
"Are you not coming to watch?
"No"
"Are you ok"
"Yes i am fine"
"You dont sound fine", he came up to the bed and rolled me over, ahn ahn why are you crying now he said and you are even running temperature. What is it?

I knealt down and begged my husband.

"Its ok, i promise" he said. Now clean your eyes and come to the living room
"Words are powerful, please forgixve your brother i added
"I called jim back and he has apologized. I placed him on a seven day fast and prayer, as the condition to his freedom otherwise whatever happens to him its his doing"
"There is something else"
"What is it"
" I am pregnant"

"Hello bros" max said as my husband called him, the phone was on speaker so i was listening
"What happened between you and my wife"
"I dont understand what you mean, what happened as in?"
"Dont play dumb with me, did you sleep with my wife? My husband shouted. Visibly angry. I have never seen him so angry
"Brother , am sorry , i dint know what came over me"
" how dare you max, you think you have grown right. You will die, may you die a disgraceful death, for going into my life, may everything you touch crumble, my husband was laying curses on max, heavy curses. I was scared for him.
"Why did it have to be you. My own younger brother, even if she seduced you couldn't you flee? I loved you with my soul max. How can you do this wickedness against me, my husband sobbed.
" stay away from my family as a matter of fact I will call mum and the uncles tomorrow to tell them what you had done.
Max was quiet all through my husband's call. My husband hung up and looked at me
" maxx will die prematurely. His children will sleep with his wife.
I knelt down before him and said
" i know i have lost every right to talk to you and ask for favours but please isnt the curses too much and considering the fact that you dealt very calmly to me, he didnt rape me, i consented, why are you not punishing me..

being with my husband was the sweetest, he took me to fun places, introduced me to lost of people, they brought different gifts for me. My husband had really changed from how he was back then in nigeria, he showered me with affection and love, he sweeps and does the dishes, he didn't let me stress myself. But I was scared. Every night I cry after my husband had slept, i wish i waited, i hated max the more. My marriage and husband was in a good space but am afraid if my husband found out I will be done for.
I started fighting my husband , I wanted him to hit ne so i could divorce on another ground before my scandal blows. But he never did, instead he was understanding. Sometimes apologising even when he was not at fault. I was on an emotional roller coaster. I was in a prison in my mind. Whenever he called nigeria i was always scared that it was driving me nuts.

Leaving me a twenty four year old and a twenty six year old max at home alone was not

the best idea . but i guess my husband was too trusting or too careless. Either which i

dont blame him. I blame myself for nor being able to resist temptation.


One year after i arrived America i woke up with tears , i was on the bed with bible in hand asking God to help me and take control. Whike sobbing, my husband woke up

"Honey what is it? Why are you crying"
"Nothing am fine,"
"Please talk to me" he insisted
After a lot of persuasion from him, I said
"Please let me pack my bags first before I tell you"
"Pack your bags for what? What do you want to say that you need to pack your bags"
"Honey, i did something really bad and i have not had peace since then"
"Did you kill someone" my husband asked
"Its worse than killing someone i responded still crying"
"Then talkbto me, am not a baby, i can handle the truth"
" i am sorry, i cheated on you"
"Is that all? He asked
"No, its worse, i cheated on you with a family relative" please forgive me
"Is it max? He asked
I turned and looked at him in shock then brought my head down in shame and noded
"What else did you do"
"Nothing"
"How many times did it happen "
"Three times"
"Hmmm, come here, is that why you want to pack your things?
I noded.
"Have you asked God to forgive you?
I noded,
"Kneel down let me pray for you"
I did and he prayed for me, with tears in his eyes, he asked God to forgive me and rid out family of this incest. Afterbthe prayer, he pulled me up and kissed me. He then asked me to sit.
"You know, what you and max did is really bad, you guys opened a door spiritually, he began telling me the spiritual consequences and even trditionally
"Traditionally some men die due to their wives adultery, how much morr when it is with a relative"
"I am going to call max, is it ok by you? He asked . i simply noded shyly.
"I have to let him know i know so he doesnt have some kind of hold over you"
"Ok.thank"
"Meanwhile, how did it happen?


*****flashback*********
We arrived the hotel a few minutes past 11pm went up to the suite. It was beautiful.

There were rose petals everywhere even on the bed and there were scented candles

arranged from the bathroom to the room but they were not on.

"Have you been here before or is it how they decorate their rooms",i asked max

"Of course i have been here, i did all these, i told you tonight is special, do you like it ?

"Its beautiful, isnt it too much?

"Nothing is too much for you baby"

"This is not an affair max, we are not lovers, am your sister in law, all these things, the

roses , candles, romantic dinner, its nt for me, please dont make it more complicated.

" ok. No feelings attached, i hear you. Please calm down. I want you to rest well as

tomorrow is public holiday as well.

" let me run a bath for you".

"Thanks"

This is actually the kind of things i liked, kisses under the sun, flowers, being pampered, i like a man that goes all out to please a woman. I didnt know my husband was not thst type of person cos ws married without premarital intimacy, when i complain he reminds me that as a oastor his hands were tied. But i have learnt to be contended and push those fantasies out of my head. But max is giving life to it.

"Your bath is ready he said interupting my thoughts

"Oh ok., i stood uo to remove my gown, but he offered to help, i had specifically chosen a matching setof red lacy undies. He unzipped the dress and let it fall to my feet. I stood on the spot, he unhooked my bra and i used my hands to cover my bosoms. He turned me to face him
"You are very beautiful" he said, his eyes where dim with emotions and his voice husky,
"Let me clean you up before we bath, i have been meaning to do this all night"
"Seat" i sat on the bed and he pulled me to the edge . raised on leg to the bed post and buried his tongue in my hiney pot with my panties still on. I threw my head back and moaned, he ate me out and after a while, removed the panties, with his hands he spread open my labia and dug deeper i was screaming with pleasure.

"Come my love lets take that bath now" he carried me to the tub as my legs where still shaking. The candles were on now and a soft blues was playing in the background
"You taste so sweet, i could eatbyou all day" he said
"Stop torturing me please, do it already, am so hot" i said
"All in good time my love"
"Come and sit on me"
I sat on him in the tiub and we kissed passionately
It was a warm night so the water felt good.
we gotbout od theb tub to the bedroom and max brought out a black cloth and asked me to kie on the bed, the tied my legs apart to the bed post and my hands as well. Then he blindfolded me,
No, i dont like blindfolds please i begged, then he took it off, turned off the air conditioner and went to the fridge. He got a bowl of ice cream with fruit and took one fruit in his moth and kissed me with it, he both shared the grape as it melted into our mourh. It went on for sometimes then he said, " this will sting a little" I was still trying to process what he meant when something ice cold touched my honeypot. Alas, it was the ice cream, true to his words it stung a little but whe he began licking me off it was amazing. He did lots of new things to me but when he finally penetrated me, my eyes nearly poped out of their socket. He was so huge and big, i screamed and he pulled out . " i told you when something happens, your body go tell you"
" please be gentle"
" i will" with that he tried again, slowly filling me inch by inch, stretching me, after a wile i got used to it, but it was still painful and tight. In all i got " HARD SCREWED. He really thos know how to. Come the next morning to walk was an issue. Max, you no go
Kill me.

One month after "my first time ",with max my visa was released and i would be travelling the next week. I had broken up with max, but we met three days before my departure.

" I will miss you". Max said
"Thanks, so are we good? I asked
"Yeah sure, no hard feelings, what happened between us, stays between us" max said
" fine by me"
"Just so you know, if you werent my brother's wife, i will fight for you, i wont give you up"
"Thanks am sure you will find love soon. Goodbye max"
"Goodbye Amaka.

"Welcome to The United States of America" the porter greeted me
"Thank you"
" how was africa"
"Africa is a continent, i am from Nigeria in west Africa"
"Ok.you welcome anyways

"Honey" my husband called out to me , i ran to embrace him, he looked better and more muscular
"Someone has been hitting the gym really hard i can see" i said hittinbg his chest
"All to please you my queen"
We got to the hotel in twenty minutes,
"I thought you were taking me to your house"
"We will go tomorrow for now i want you to rest, seventeen hours in the air is not a joke"
"Thanks love"
"Come now your bath is ready"
" am so tired, but i am so happy to see you, a lot happened in your absense"
"Shhhh, we will talk later for now, you shiuld bath and eat something. I missed you.

When i came outof the bathroom, my husband had set up food for me to eat
"Sorry love , am not hungry, am just too excited to eat"
"I think ibdidnt kiss you properly before, he said
My husband came to the mirror where i was applying moisturisers on my body and turned me around, kissed me deeply with so much passion, hmm I moaned into his mouth, he lifted me from the floor and took me to the bed, not breaking the kiss, I missed you so much he said in between kisses. He stopped and looked deep into my eyes and whispered" I love you" i really had missed him. With him it was so pure and real.he kissed me all over, my face, ears, arms, belly button which had me thrashing the sheets.and without warning I felt his tongue on my honeypot, there was no reservation, he drank all my juices as they flowed out. This was a first for my husband, he's never eaten my honeypot before, i was surprised. When he finally entered me, it was magically, it was not only physical satisfaction but emotional and spiritual. His thrusts were initially hard and slow then faster and harder . its a new experience for me.

"Wow. Baby that was intense i said to my husband as we were trying to catch our breath
"You bring out the best in me " he replied
"So i see you have some new tricks now"
" i want to satisfy you for all the time i left you"
" so, it for only today"
" its forever"
Now lets eat, becuase the king is getting hard again.
"Hahahaha. I love my husband after all.

Ten comments before the next update please

"Hello" I said into the phone.

"Sweetheart why is your voice down, are you OK"

My husband asked

" yes i am fine"

"You are not cheerful today"

"Just have a lot on my mind"

"What could be bothering my beautiful wife, care to share"

"Its nothing, i can handle it"

"Come on honey, talk to me"

" its nothing"

"Ok, i will be sending you some money tomorrow"

"Thanks" how are you coping over there

"I thank God, its just that here the ladies throw themselves at men. The

temptation is high, can't wait for you to come over"

"Hmm, me too"

"Sweetheart, i dont like your mood tonight. Please whatever it is dont let it

steal your joy. Have you prayed today"

"Yes I have" I lied.

"OK then allow God to work in you"

"Thanks dear"

"I have to go now. I love you

"I love you too.



What kind of a person am i, my husband is keeping himself and am here

lying in the arms of another man. Dare i say that am begining to enjoy it as

well. What is happening to me. I dont even pray anymore. Please help me

lord. Please deliver me from this stronghold i cried.


I Resumed work after a week, i thougt it was going to keep me busy and

help me get my mind of max, but i found myself thinking about how good

his tongue felt on my honeypot, the memories alone had me going to the

convenience to clean up. He just seemes to know the right places to touch

me. I wish i was still single so i could explore without the guilt. Work closed

earlier than usual because of the public holidays and I was home browsing

when my husband's call came in.


"Baby how are you holding up" my husband asked over the phone

"Am fine.just missing you i said

"For some days now, you havent complained about missing me and being

Hot what are you doing"

"Huh?,what do you mean by that?,"

"Chill, it was Just teasing you"

"O...k."

"I miss your fine rounded bosom"

"Hmmmm ,is someone Hot? I teased

" yes baby, am just looking at your picture wondering when am going to

have you in my arms again"

"Awwww, i pray it happens soooooooooon, like yesterday"

" what are you wearing honey, my husband asked

"Just a T-shirt and shorts"

"Is max at home?

"No he is not back yet. we had a half day at work that's why am home

earlier.

"Oh thank God he is not home, cos i want you to moan for me, are you ready

baby"

"Yes honey" I replied sounding sexy

" take off your cloth every piece of item on you" my husband ordered

"Yes sir" i have done that,

"Slip one finger in"

"Make it two, twist and turn it. Do you like it"

" yeah baby, i love it

"Imagine me kissing and smooching you....


I an not a fan of phone intimacy but this time around i really enjoyed it with my

husband even though i dont cum from it. I was maoning loudly for my

husband, it really likes it when i do that, it helps him get off. Just like today
,
"Thanks honey "he said

"Did you cum" i asked

"Loads of it, am just going to sleep now, thanks, did you cum?

"Yes sure" i lied, ok baby talk later, let me let you sleep"

"I love you"

I love you too"

I dropped the phone still rubbing my clit

"Need real help with that?

I was startled, max what are you doing here, how long have you been

standing there?

" I came in and heard your loud moaning, I peeped and got pinned on the

spot watching you"

"Mind if I join in the fun"

"Are you still asking"

"How about something different"

"Like what"

" I want to take you somewhere"

"Where?"

"You will see, now come and take a bath"


"Somewhere" I had thought he was going to screw me nuts, i cant hold it

any longer, after all, eating my honeypot is as bad as the main thing, who

am i deceiving sef and why is he holding back? It took alot of strength for

me not to beg him to fvck me.

"I got a gift for you" max said handing me a shopping bag. Please put it on

" wow" i said collecting the bag, in it was a black knee length sequence

gown with lace design at the chest area, it was beautiful, i havent worn this

kind of dress with a sex appeal since i got married. It was a perfect fit, i

wondered how he knew my exact size. Was about discarding the bag when

i saw something else in it, it was a pearl jewellry set and a little note. It read

"please meet me at the "CHOPSTICKS" to avoid nosy neighbours. The

Chopsticks was a five star restaurant. I took one final look at myself and

knew i was breathtaking. I matched the dress with a black stilleto and

packed my braids in a bun.

Whatever max was planing, i am in.

I arrived the restaurant and went inside, i spotted him at the far end. All

eyes where on me when I walked in he stood up as i was approaching the

table , pecked me lightly and pulled out my chair.

"You are beautiful"

"Thank you. You look nice as well.

"Thanks"

"So what's the occasion? I asked

"Just having dinner with the most beautiful woman in the world"

"Flattery will get you everywhere" i said

"Shall we order now? He asked

"I will have shrimp and veg. I said

"Make that two he said to the waiter

"Thanks for the gifts, how did you know my exact size?

"You are welcome and as for the size, its a secret

Hahahah i laughed softly

"Dinner was nice . thank you

"Thank you for coming out with me"

"There is somewhere else we should go"

"Where?

"The cinema, that romcom you saw the trailer is showing today"

"Wow. Really?, i cant wait.

The movie was epic. Max bought a flat sandals for me at the galleria so i

was relaxed. The movie ended round bout 10:30pm.

"Can we go home now, am tired, i said

"Ok, but we are not going home yet he said

"No, no more surprises max, please am tired"

Its not a surprise, i want you to rest but not at home, i booked us into a nice

suite in Protea Hotels.

"Really?

"Yes. I want our first time to be special

@wendypenny, its 7 comments now...permission to make up the remaining three

nah. Its only 5 comments i can see there.

Okay people the next update comes up after 10 comments. Thank you

I have always hated "the morning after" the awkwardness was just too

much. I woke up earlier than usual. I had a quick shower And dashed out of

the house. I was scared to face him, he looked so peaceful last night. He

didnt seek to satisfy himself, he was all out for me, i wish it was my man

that did all that. How do i face him, i was deep in thouhhtbwhen my phone

rang

" hello dear" i said to chelsea over the phone

"Hi babe, how are you she replied

"Am fine o.

"Are you ok?

"Sure, just feeling a slight headache

"Sorry, so how about your brother in law?

"Huh, oh he is fine"

"Fine?, has moved out? Or when is he moving out

"No, not yet, he will leave in a few days "

"Ok babe, just be careful"

"I will dear, take care. Bye

"Bye.


No, i cant tell chelsea what happened last night. No, i cant. Its too risky i

said to myself


I got home around 10pm and quietly opened the door with my key and

staggered quietly to my room without switching on the light, i had spent

more than two hours at an exclusive bar before coming home. Alcohol

seemed to be my new best friend. Atleast it offered a moment of calmness

"Are you trying to avoid me?",

I was startled, i hadnt seen him in the living room, i thought he was asleep

or had gone out.

I ignored him and remained on the spot. I stood with my back to him, i didnt

want to face him

"Amaka, you cant even look at me

"Max, my life is over, my marriage is over, i have lost everything, i just want

to die, i said and began to cry

"Please dont talk like that" you need to sleep, you are aready tipsy,

" i am not tipsy the drink is fake, i will sue that bar, i said as i stagered, let

me try another bottle, i brought out a bottle of whisky from my bag

Max took it away from me, and held me to the room , on entering the room, i

threw up and fell on the floor.

I woke up with a splitting head ache, I turned and saw max beside me. What

was he doing here, then it hit me, i had been tdrinking. How did i get on my

bed. I tried to get up but he woke up and asked if I was OK,

" am having a head ache"

" it must be the hang over, i hope you think twice before drinking that much

next time, wait let me get you pain killers"

"Ok. Thanks.

"Here you go, max said handing me a cup of beverage and some

medication.

"Thanks"

" we need to talk about your new drinking habit, you need to stop"

"Stop? You have no idea, its what keeps me sane in the midst of all these

drama in my life"

"Did you change my clothes from last night? I asked noticing my night

gown on me

"I didnt have a choice, you were reeking of alcohol and you vomited all over

the floor i had to bath and change you.

"Did... Did anything...happen? I asked holding my breath

"Anything? Like what? Oh you mean....nah, no of course not, it would be

with your consent, and by the way if anything does happen, "your body go

tell you" he said in pidgin and laughed.

"Naughty you"

"Its 3:40am. Lets go back to sleep"

"Please cuddle me"

"You didnt have to ask.

Come on now, show some love people

'Honey please am no longer comfortable with max in the houae can you

tell him ro find somewhere else' i said to my husband over the phone

'Why, what did he do?


' well, he is always coming back late and even the other day he jumped over

the fence when he lost his key or something. All those things can attract

bad boys you know'

'Ok, i will talk to him about coming back ealier'

'Cant he just find his own place'

' baby, listen, that boy is my younger brother, if he wants to stay in my

house i cant send him away. Its my responsibility to take care of him, so

stop finding reasons to send him away and treat him as your brother as

well. We wont discuss on this matter again. '

'Ok o. Talk to you later. I said and hung up.

Oh my! What am i going to do now, i said to myself, talking to my husband

didnt work. I cant trust myself around that guy. Honestly, his touch felt so

good but In every shade of wrong.


'Max please sit let's talk' he sat on the sofa opposite mine and stared at my

face

'What do you want from me max'

'Why are you trying to cause problems for our family', i asked max

'Amaka, am not here to cause problems for us. Its just that from the first

day my brother brought you home i liked you. Very much. I always look at

your pictures on Facebook eveynight before i sleep.

' geez man, that is obsession, for God's sake max, i am married to your

brother'
'I know, please calm down, i am trying to deal with this feelings he said

'You have to leave max, we have crossed a boundary, if you dont leave it

will not end well

" please leave max i begged

'If i leave now, my brother would want to know what you did to me, cos he

called to say you were complaining, but he said not to mind you. So we

have to give it at least one month'

' one month is too long. Say two weeks'

'Two weeks? Ok its fine. Max replied

' to friendship' he said stretching out his hand for a handshake

' to friendship i replied.


**********************
The movie is about to start. Max called out to me, its been three days since

our last discussion and everything has been going well. Well tonight, max

bought some movies i like epic movies, he bought the latest nollywood

movies and a hollywood seasonal movie titled "supernatural", we had

finished seeing the nollywood movie before i went to the convenience.

The movie was interesting but very scary. We watched up untill about

quater to midnight when i stood up to go and sleep. We had seen some

really scaring scenes. Its was horrifying.

'Ok, goodnight I said entering my room'

:yeah, good night max replied

Five minutes later there was a knock on my room door

'Yes, i asked as max came into my room

' i saw your bedroom light is still on, which is unlike you'

'Yeah, i keep seeing images from the movie. I replied please switch it off

'That's why am here, me too I see scary pictures.

'Hahahah. As big as you are. So you're just a "fraidy cat"

'Please i can spread my blanket on the floor in your room, please

'Ok, you may. I could use some company as well.

It was nice talking to him, he told me stories about his childhood and about

their family and i found myself laughing so hard

' you know, its nice to hear you laugh, you havent laughed so hard for some

time now, max said.

I didnt say anything i just laughed softly.

' i would give anything to have that smile continously on your face he said

"Really? I asked

' of course he replied

'Anything?

' Anything'

" how about your world class noodles

'Now?

'No, for breakfast

'Done'

'Wow. Thanks

'You welcome, anything else?

'Hmmmm, what about a massage?

'With all pleasure"

'Dont just let your hands stray

Hahahahah he laughed. No we both laughed as i got down from my bed

and laid on his blanket.



'Hmmm, yeah right there, i moaned as max massaged my body, it was truly

relaxing.

'You are very good with your hands i complemented.

'Thank you'

'Remove the pillow and lie flat he said,

While trying to change position i mistakenly kicked something, it was hard

' sorry'

'Its ok'

' dont feel embarrased, but how come you got an erection just from

massaging my legs i chuckled.

' am a man, am i not? he replied

'Lol'

So far. Max had kept his promise and his hands had not strayed. I kept

wishing he will break his promise. I felt hot all over. I wanted to be touched

badly, my insides ached. I was moaning softly, I noticed his hands move up

a bit but I didn't stop him he rubbed my thighs, my laps, raised my legs

and kissed me laps,


'Can i? He asked

'Yes,.... i mean no, i muttered

He looked deep into my eyes and said " relax" he brought his head next to

mine and said again" relax" that was all it took for me to claim his lips in

a kiss and caution was thrown to the wind , he kissed me all over, my neck,

my chest , my thighs, my feet. When he slipped his finger in, my dam

poured freely, it was intense, my body was on fire i thought it was the

sweetest not until i felt the coolnesss of his tongue on my honeypot. I

moaned loudly and pressed his head down as he ate me out, something my

husband had never done. I had always wanted him to though. I rode on

waves after waves of orgasm.

"Are you ok now?, he asked

"I nooded shyly, trying to catch my breath

"What about your erection" i asked. Need help?

" no, this night is about you. Seeing you happy

satisfies me, want to cuddle?,

"Yeah sure

I laid in his arms all through the night. He

caressed my body till i slept off

thanks for reading and commenting

'Geez Amaka why are you crying'

' I am not crying
'
'You are. Are you OK'

'How dare you ask me that, how dare you i shouted, you are the devil that

crept into my house, what do you want, how dare youbtake advantage of

me, was this a plan betwen you and your brother to rob me of my marriage i

said shouting

'Please calm down Amy, you are drunk please calm down'

'Who is drunk ehn, it is yoir mother that is drunk,

'Please calm down let's talk'

:Talk?, what is your mission here?,why are you here, you can afford your

own space so what do you want in my house playing all nice and sweet.

Get out of my room, get out now i shouted but he still stood there.

'I cant leave you in this state Amaka, i think you have had enough,

He bent down to pick the half empty bottle of andre i was still drinking and

in my rage i hit the other one on his head

'aaah, Jesus,Amaka you broke my head, do you want to kill me. He

screamed.

' i am sorry, i didnt know what came over me, i became scared when i saw

he was bleeding,

' let me take a look to check if its deep,

'Leave me alone. Dont come close to me he said

The blood was still dripping from the side of his head and i felt sad, i could

have just endured him for one night.

I got the first aid kit and he finally allowed me to clean his wounds,

thankfully, it was a small cut and it wasnt deep,and yes after i hit him the

alcohol seemed to clear from my eyes.

I cleaned his wounds, with cotton wools soaked in hydrogen peroxide, put

some procain powder and covered it with cotton wool and gauze and held it

down with a band aid. Yes all done.

'Would you like a hot cup of tea?,i asked after cleaning up his wounds'

'No, am feeling head aches'

'Sorry, here have some painkillers',i said extending a panadol to him

I bent down to pack the first aid kit and tonreplace the things i used when

he stood up and came to where i was

.' amaka'

'Yes'

I stood up to look at him and he held my hand

' i am sorry, for all i made you go through, for what my stay here has done

to you emotionally, forgive me'

'Its ok, forgive me too for not resisting and breaking your head.

'There is something else i want to say to you'

'What is it, i asked

'I am not leaving'

'What did you say'

'I am not moving out of the house'

Am sorry I am boring you guys. Will stop writing. Thanks for reading all this while. No comments so i am discouraged. Bye guys

What have i done?,i kept asking myself. Amaka you are so stupid, what

came over you, chief called you to have dinner with him and you said no,

yiu said you wanted to keep yourself pure for your husband and now this -

his own brother "tufiakwa" (God forbid) i kept talking to myself while pacing

up and down the lonely estate road.


'Hello babes, i said into the phone as soon as chelsea picked up

' how far'

' babe i messed uo big time'

'Wetin you do, this one your voice is like this'

'I almost had srx with my brother -inlaw insaid and let the tears drop

'What! How?,did he rape you? I couldn't Reply

'Am coming over she said and hung up.

'Babes, that was how it happened o I explained everything to Chelsea while

sitting in a restaurant. I had told her to meet me there.

' hmm, girl, you messed up, anyways, its not really your fault , how can your

husband leave you alone for over a year and then put a twenty six year old

boy for the same house with you. Na set up, your husband want make you

mess up so that him go see wetin him go use pursue you.

'Huh, no chelsea, my husband is not like that. He loves me

'If you like stay here dey fool yourself. She laughed, anyways we have to fix

this issue on ground, where is max now? She asked.

'He should be at home. Or better still looking for where to move to. Cos he

has until tomorrow morning

'Let's go over to your house. Let me give him a sound warning


With that chelsea and I went to my house but max was not at home but his

bags were already packed
.
' thank God he understood and got my message. I said

' its. Ok dear. Dont just do something so stupid next time

' if na shagging dey hungry you , you no know where market dey to go buy

cucumber, she joked

' get out, you think say i be you, i hate masturbation'

' ok come to mummy, let me make you feel good

' yes mummy, for your mind, hahaha

'Ok dear, i have to get going, if anything happens let me know,

' ok. Thanks.

I saw chelsea off to the bus stop and stoped at a liquor shop to get some

wines before heading back home. I had not touched a bottle for over two

years but i just had this urge to drink. I didnt know how i was going to face

max , i needed to be high a little.

I sat on the floor in my room, was done with one bottle of Andrè, with my

earpiece in my ears and the volume to the highest listening to Rihanna's

"unfaithful" on repeat. I hate myselfvand i hate my life in that anger i called

my husband and he said he coulnt talk to me that he wanted to sleep., i

shouted and told him that it is all his fault. He asked what was his fault and

i dropped the call. Wallowing in self pity and booze and Rihanna, life

seemed better till i felt a tap, i looked up and saw him,

****************************


'Honey please can you help me with the baby while i mix her bath water?

'So, if am not here what would you have done? My husband asked

' but you are here now and that's all that matters besides if i struggle when

you are not around, should i also struggle when you are around?

'If you know how you usually do it when am not around, go and do what you

want to do and leave me alone, am busy

'Its ok. I said,keeping the baby on the floor as i went about to mix her bath

water, half way through she started crying. Well, i am not surprised by my

husband's earlier response, its a typical day in my house, sometimes i

wonder why i bother to ask for hos assistance when i know his response. I

don't know why, actually i do know why, my husband has taken it as duty to

not lift a finger in the house, he does nothing to help, not in anyway, he

wont let me bring a nanny, i do everything and worst of all i carry the baby

to do all this.

I can understand if he hates me but to extend the hatred to his daughter? I

don't get it. The other day he left her at the edge of the sofa when he knows

she has started rolling, thank goodness I found her on time and when I did i

couldnt hold back the tears. My daughter is my everything, she is the only

right thing in my life. I know i failed, in my marriage but i would protect my

child with every fibre of ny being.



Welcome mama, my church members greeted as i walked into the church

building, God bless you i responded and to others a slight nod, i had learnt

how to appear spiritual, to act it even when you are not feeling it, the

composure, mannerism and dressing. We were having singles fellowship

and i was to minister to them, if only they knew the battles i fight everyday.

If only they knew i was trapped in my pains, there is no escape route for

me. If only they knew the happiness and joy of marriage i teach on was a

mirage to me. I am respected outside but in my own home i am as useless

as the "k' in "knife"



'Huh? What did you say, i asked max not believing my ears,

' just raise the vest a little so i can massage your back'

' no, thanks i dont think its necessary

'Come on. Realky, are you scared of me, je laughed, we are family'

What? Why would i be scared of you

' then relax.

With that i raised the vest up to my stomach. I must confess, he is quite

good with his hands, it felt so good, I was enjoying it till he brushed my

bombom lightly like a mistake but something told me it wasnt so i told him i

was fine and needed to sleep

' ok am going for a walk see you later he said

'Wow. I heaved a sigh of relieve

I woke up to soft caresses on my leg, i actually thought i was dreaming and

i was hot considering its been over a year i felt my husband's touch, my

body was on fire, I opened my eyes to see max on my leg and I withdrew

immediately

' what are you doing, I asked frowning

' I was trying to wake you up'

'Couldn't you have just called my name

' then I would have missed you moaning he said , there is no fun in waking

you up like that, he said smiling

I looked away, embarrassed, didn't know I was moaning out load

'You seem to enjoy massages, I won't mind helping you to relieve the

stress,
' no thanks i said coldly. Hating myself

' dont be embarrased, it happens, maybe you are missing my bro too much

and for the records you have long legs and i like massaging your legs, they

are beautiful and they dont stink

'Were you sniffing my legs, i asked wide eyed

'You have no idea

With that he took hold of my legs and continued

' by the way, moaning helps you to release the tension in your body so feel

free to....

' naughty you.

I was loving my massage till all of a sudden he cupped my boobs and i

jolted

'What are you doing

' please stop, stop, i said weakly

' i dont want to stop, your boobs are so beautiful

' stop! I said it with more power this time around, but he kept on rubbing

and carressing it slowly,

Its wrong, you are my brother-in law i said weakly,

He pulled the vest upward and took one of my nipples in his mouth, then i

lost the remaining senses

He smooched my body, kissed my neck he was trying to slid his hands into

my shorts when I stopped him

' stop it now. Please first thing tomorrow morning pack your bag and leave

my house.

With that i stood up and left the house

******************Next Morning****************

Knock, knock!

'Come in

'Good morning'

'Morning max'

' how are you this morning'

'Am fine, just pains , but i took some pain killers'

' ok, but i hope you called in sick at work'

'Yes i did, my boss said i coumld take the week off'

'Wow, nice boss you have'

'He knows i dont pretend, and i sometimes work overtime without pay

' lucky you'

I smiled

'So how is the project coming along I asked

' its fine, although its stalling abit, still waiting for the approval of the

chairman of the company i am introducing the product to sign off'

'Ok, good luck'

'Woild you like some noodles and a cup of hot chocolate?

' really? What have you done to my snubbish brother in-law i asked laughing

' aww that hurts, did you say "snubbish" no i am not snubbish, as a matter

of fact I am the direct opposition of that.

'OK. If you say so.

'Oh and a big yes to the noodles and hot chocolate.

' ok, coming right up, chef max to the rescue, he joked and walked away

Hahahahahhaa

Hmmmit seems things are about to get better in this house with Max' new

attitude., i said to myself, well i better go and take a bath before the "big

meal"

"Breakfast is ready, your grace

'Hmmm, just a minute sir, am dressing up

' ok
' you can cone in mow,

He brought the food into my room, its become a habit for me to eat

breakfast in my room as opposed to the dining,

' wow, this is nice i complimented as i ate from it.

'I know right, its my favourite, he replied

' thanks max

You welcome

' finish your food so i can checkout your leg,
' are you not eating'


'Not yet, i will eat by 12

'Ok.

I finished my meal and took the dishes to the kitchen

' why you shouldn't have bothered all you had to do was call'

'No, its fine , wanted to excercise the leg as well,

'Ok, its doctor max now to the rescue

'Hajahaha, doctor max indeed.

He massahed the area aound my feet, all the way to my knees, half way to

my thighs, i thought he shouldnt go there but i dont want to appear to have

dirty thoughts

' your back'

'What' i asked

' turn your back' he repeated, you are stiff, your shoulders are tense, I want

to help you ease them. i thought his voice sounded husky. Still i obliged

He worked my shoulders , my arms and then asked me to raise the vest.

Sorry for any typos

*****four years ago*****"


' babe its been six months my husband traveled o and when ever we speak

on phone he keeps saying things are not the way he expected them to be, i

told chelsea,

' you sure say your husband want make you join am so? She asked in

pidgin.

'What kind of talk is that? I asked her getting annoyed.

' babe open your eyes, no dey for water soap come enter your eyes'

'What do you mean by that? I asked her getting irritated.

' noo vex for me o, i no be your husband wey leave you for here go America

'I can see you are not helping in any way, bye bye, am going,

I said standing up from the chair i was seating,

So, are you still coming to that party i told you about?

' my dear, forget it am not going.

' OK o. Mrs married woman. Your loss

She said sarcastically.


****************************†***********************************************

AMAKA

its been one hellish year hubby left Nigeria to philadelpha, and from the

look of things i dont know when i will see him, he is not even sending

money home, how worse can it get? He says things are tough. I

understand, its just that I have also run out of even the last one thousand

naira in my account. Chelsea has been of immense help too financially. Got

a small time job of ten thousand naira a month to pass the time, lines of

worry and anxiety etched my forehead, everything was jist so annoying ,

' oga take it easy now, i spoke to the tricycle driver as i see him struggling to

gain control of the "keke" in the mud covered road.

I wonder if those pot-bellied politicians are not seeing this road and then it

happened!

The tricyclw tilted to one side, falling, the side where i was and i

steppedbinto the med with force, i was angry about my soiled shoes still i

felt a sharp pain, alas there was a sharp metal buried in the mud and it tore

my feet.

Can it get worse than this I thought. Using the small money remaining with

me i went to a pharmacy by the side of the road to dress the wound.


'What happened to you? Max asked as i stepped into the sitting room

I ignored him and sat down, i have never seen a more selfish person than

the fat fool, he has never contributed to anything in the house, when i cook,

he eats but the day i dont he willnsay he is going out till one day i caught

him at the "joint" where he goes to eat. Out of curiosity one day i searched

through his luggage and i was surprised to see the amount of money i saw

and this guy cant even contribute to for electricity bills.


'I had a minor accident'

'Sorry o.,how dd it happen? He probed further

' i explained, he excused himself saying he was going to get something and

after three minutes came back with a very chilled maltina and peak milk.

Wow. The first time this guy is showing any form of kindness to me.

' hear, drink this it will make you feel better. He said extending a glass of

malt and milk to me

'Wow, that's a first, so it took an accident for you to be nice to me?

'No, not that, you can take care of yourself but now you cant , let me take

care of you now, after all you are my elder brother's wife.

' ok, thank you, i guess i can do witha little pampering

' do you have dirty clothes, i am going to do my laundry

'Hmmm, not really, just my nighties but dont worry, i will wash them

tomorrow i said
' i dont Mind doing them at all.

With that i gave him the dirty clothes and lay on the couch, still cant believe

the instant change of attitude in him


******** 9:40pm***************

' i think you need to press hot water on that leg, max said coming in from

God knows where

'Hmmm, its paining me i dont even want to touch it

' if you dont, it might get swollen,,i could help you massage it

' really?,ok but dont press it too hard. Am already in pains

He got the hot water and a hot balm as well, he added salt to the water and

started pressing my feet

' are you going to put the hot balm on the wound as well? I asked

' no am going to use it to massage around it.

OK thanks. I muttered

Honestly, the massage brought some ssoothing relieve to my body, his

hands worked magic on my legs that i dozed off, but i woke up about one

hour later and he was still massaging my legs

' wow, are you still nassaging, sorry i dozed of but i am going to the room

now, i want to sleep. Thanks alot. Good night

'Good night he replied.

SPDAZZY:
Welcome back. I believe you have come to stay.

I believe so. Thank you

******present day********

'Am not here to fight, can we drop this divorce talk, I came to make love to my wife'

Am sorry am not in the mood I said,

' it doesn't matter if you are not in the mood I will put you in the mood'

With that he kissed my neck, my forehead, whilst I was trying to push him

away, the thing is, no matter how angry I am, my body always responds to

my husband's touch, the next two minutes saw me moaning and raising

my hips to meet his thrust halfway.



' so why are you not happy' he asked cuddling me even as I tried to catch

my breath, for a moment I forgot what he was talking about but I quickly recollected.

'I don't like the way you treat me in this house and whenever we disagree or

quarrel you always threaten me. Is it because I ...

' Sshhh, speak no further, I cannot threaten my wife, am sorry if you feel

that way, it just that I don't like the way you challenge and talk back to me

when I say something, its not everything a man says you reply, sometimes

just swallow it and keep silent'

' but you threatened me with divorce'

' I was just looking for what to say to make you keep silent.

' its. OK, am sorry my beautiful wife. I love you

'I love you too'

' cone let's go and clean the house. I will help

' wow thanks, but my legs are shaking, you almost finished me' I said as we

laughed and walked to the living room.

If only apologies last.

Fastword to 2 months later

'Honey i will be leaving tomorrow like we discussed, you know i love you

and i will miss you right?

My husband asked as we lay side by side on the bed , i smiled even as tears

ran down my eyes as the thought of being alone for only God knows how

long struck me.

'Are you crying? He asked

'No, am not crying , am fine , i replied visibly shaking now

'Come, come baby, pls dont cry, its for our own good, just give me two

months you will join me, i promiise, i need to go there first and see how

things are, then i can send for you,

'Ok, *still sobbing* am fine, its well.

With that he kissed me, slowly but it was intense, emotions were boldly

written with every twirl of the tongue and every nibbling of the lips, it gave

way to climax upon climax as i rode on the waves of orgasm. I slept that

night not wishing for the day to break, for the dawn would seperate my

beloved from me..


My husband has been asked to pastor a church in America, Philadelphia to

be precise and He accepted, he has been so happy since the news came. It

was a good one, only that i was not going with him immediately. I was not

too comfortable with this arrangements as i have heard how people travel

abroad and marry white ladies for papers and the rest, or even get taken

over by the life there and forget their families. My husband is very decent

but then one cant be too sure.


' max, please take care of my wife and dont stress her, she is my wife o,

assist her in any way possible, and pls you people should live like family'

"There's no problem" the fat fool replied

Since my husband failed to call him to other, i learnt to avoid him and

tolerate him, some days he mumbles what he calls a greeting, on days like

that, i pretend like i didnt hear.


' baby, pls manage this, you know the church did not fund thus trip, once i

get there i will send you more money'

' its fine sweetheart, i am more worried about you, you need the money

more cos that is a foreign land, you dont know what to expect'

'Still, i cant leave you empty,,please take this, this is one hundred thousand naira'

'Thanks love, i said hugging my husband.

'OK, no more tears, let's go before I miss my flight, Max please come and

carry this suitcases'

I kissed my husband goodbye at the airport then headed back home with max.

I think so m'am @ bummybummy

OK. Am back. Never left. Was just discouraged. Thanks to everyone who viewed and commented and special thanks to Loisemm. I appreciate.

PST DAN
Divorce her? What in the world is she talking about?

I met Amaka ten years ago, she was this pretty little thing, I liked her from

the first day I met her, she was down to earth, classy, straight forward and

independent.

She had attended the youth dinner in the church where I was the youth

president, after that meeting she was a regular at the Church. She quickly

joined the youth and choir department and I took notice of her the more.

Unlike some church girls that pretend, she told me about her lifestyle, the

men, alcohol et all. But instead of it to repulse me, I loved her the more but

of cos I didn't show it. I led her to Christ and monitored her, it took a while

though but she became a changed person or so I thought. When our big

Senior pastor saw my interests in her, he advised me to leave her alone

saying she was not decent enough for me. Several other people too

advised me against her but I was hooked already.

I can't divorce her. Even though she shattered my heart in a billion pieces, i

cant let her go. I don't want my princess to grow up in a broken home,

besides, I still love her. Even though she doesn't believe it.


***** four years ago.
'Max how was your flight?' my husband asked while pouring a glass of Eva

wine for his younger brother

' Eish, it was very bumpy, but I thank God I landed safely'

Dinner is served I announced and they walked together to the dining room.


***later that night***

'Honey , Max will be staying with us.' My husband said

I stopped mid way with the cotton puffs i was using to clean my face and

turned to face him.

'How many days is he staying?' I asked

'Days? He is going to be living with us'

'Living with us? Why arebu just telling me? Dont u think i should be

consulted before we bring someone into our home?

'Someone? My brother is not just any person, he is family'

'I know he is fàmily but our marriage is barely a few momths old and i think

i need some privacy'

'Well, he is already here and i cant ask him to leave''

With that he turned and backed me, signaling the end of our discussion.



Having a twenty six year old in the house was not an easy task, max is on

of those people who believe that their brither has married you then you

owe them your life. From eating and not clearing his plate, to bathing and

not mopoing the bathroom, to using my hair cream(from my closet) to not

greeting me etc. All these i complained to my husband but he will always

say "i will talk to him" but i doubt he ever did, as there was no changes to

his behavior.

*************10:43am, Wednesday 2012**********************

'Do you need special thank you for washing the dishes or for carrying the

baby?, is that not your duty as a wife. He barked

' I stress my self to see that you are happy or are you the first woman to

give birth and manage a home as well?''

'Dan, how can you say that? I am not lazy, you say it like there was never a

time when I was carrying this family, i am trying, sometimes I just need one

hour of sleep. I don't sleep at night because the baby has colic and during

the day I beg you to hold her for just one hour yet you refuse.


'Hold the baby? Am I playing?, when am studying the Bible you want me to

hold baby, what if I was working in an office where I have to be there by

8am and come back by six? Answer me. he barked


I ran out of the room into the bathroom, there I let the tears flow. He wasn't

always like this. He loved me I know. But its not his fault. I turned him to be

the man he is now. And I guess I have to live with it.

*****7:30pm

Let's share the goodness in fellowship

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the sweet

fellowship of the Holy Spirit, rest and abide with us now and forever more.

Amen.

What a wonderful service that was. I sat at the back holding bthe baby.

Over the years I have learnt not to carry my personal problem to the church.

So anytime I am in Church, I always have a smiling face. And today was no

exception, I still took the names of first timers and encouraged some folks.

8:12pm

'What is in the house to eat'

'There is rice and stew, or soup and EBA'

'Give me eba'

We finished eating and he didn't say 'thank you', I ignored him, picked the

baby from her bouncer to my room.

********The next morning*******

' good morning' I muttered as my husband came into my room

'Is it so hard for you to say good morning that you are chewing your mouth like you were forced to greet?'

I kept quiet and drew the duvet to cover my body, he shifted bthe baby and joined us on the bed. I sneezed and he looked up at me

' what is wrong with you?'

'Nothing am fine'

'Are you OK'

'Yes'

'Why won't you fall sickbwhen you are always fighting with your husband'

'anyways, I have forgiven you for making me angry, you are still my wife'

'Really? I asked

'So you think you didn't offend me as well?

'Listen, I came into your room to make peace, let's forget about yesterday ok'

'Fine, but I have one question for you'

'What is it' he asked

'When are you planning on divorcing me?
