Abiola's POV
Walking through the overly crowded and overly busy streets of Aberdeen, walking past people you might have passed before more than a thousand times but can't remember. Everyone too busy with either their phones or other things. I have no destination of where I'm going just decided to take a stroll and I found my self in town so I'm just walking around taking busy routes...
"oops, sorry, " Someone said to me as they bumped into me
"Omma sorry, my bad, wasn't looking where I was going, " I said as I walked passed him and we were facing eacthother. Thank God my slushy didn't pour because I would have cried, I don't joke with my food. And I would have cried harder coz this summer sun can boil water and still boil egg. Being a hijabi isn't helping at all, I'm all sweaty underneath my hijab and can't wait to go home and take a cold shower....
"Let's go, day dreamer," Konyii said as she dragged my hand
"What I was only apologizing," I replied looking up only to not find the person I just apologized to
"Yeah someone that already left hours ago." Konyii exaggerated making me roll my eyes, then we continued walking.
"Can this dumba** b*tch just leave me alone?" Konyii said showing me her phone screen.
"Tell her that, why are you telling me," I rolled my eyes. Kelsey is an annoying girl that goes around pissing the sh*t outta people. She once told a guy from my faculty in college that I like him, which isn't true of course and that made me mad resulting in me blocking her in all means of speaking to me. People said I went to far, that it shouldn't make me block her, some even went as far as bringing my parents in saying they pampered me too much and I dont know the difference between a joke and seriousness. And I blocked them too.
"You don't know how many times I've told her, I would have blocked her but she post funny relatable memes. " konyii replied
There are so many contacts on my phone I don't talk to anymore we only check each others statuses and stories, I have a bad habit of not talking to people if they don't talk to me atleast that what my cousin said and I quote it's a bad habit to not check up on people. But to me it's not, why would I send you a message first it's like I'm forcing my self to speak to you. Except if we do talk on a normal basis
"Ugh, I'll just ignore her. " She said scrolling through her phone. We just kept on talking about random things while walking back home.
"Where are you guys coming from?" My cousin aunt Temi asked as soon as we got to the front of the house.
"We just went for a walk, " Konyii said as we walked passed her and entered the house.
"I called but you didn't pick up. " She replied coming to my front.
"Maybe it's on silent. " I mumbled then I walked to my room. I needed a cool shower I'm sweaty.
"B*tch I'm going to the bathroom first! " Konyii said barging into my room and jumping on the bed. She has some clothes and some toiletries here so she doesn't have a problem, this is practically her second house.
"Use the bathroom downstairs," I said removing my top leaving me in my bra top.
"Not if I enter first!" And that's how the struggle begins, and guess what, she won, I'm a weakling.
"See ya when I'm done!" She hollered from the other side of the door.
I love this girl..... Not
"Just hurry up before I drag your a** downstairs. " I shouted back. Now let's wait for 10 hours, shall we?! OK I'm exaggerating she takes long showers though.
After what felt like hours and in reality it was only thirty minutes she came out, all the while I just sat on the floor beside the bathroom door waiting for her to come out.
"Were you giving birth in there?" I asked standing up making my voice high pitched
"Yes, I had quadruplets. Their names are abi-" She was saying but I cut her off
"I hear, shift for me joor," Then she moved aside, she was wearing a sweatpants and my spongebob tank top.
" You will be wearing my clothes as if you don't have yours," I rolled my eyes
" If you don't stop rolling your eyes, it will fall out and besides your clothes are more comfy, considering you're chubbier than I am. " she dragged the edge if my clothes, demonstrating.
It's true I'm chubbier than her a little but she says it as if I'm a hippo.
"Iwo lo mo, " I said then I sauntered into the bathroom.
"Hurry, when you're done pick a movie, I wanna make noodles. " she said bringing out my laptop from my drawer
"Okie. " Then I closed the door, now how to turn on the shower
After my 10 minutes shower I came out of the bathroom the tip of my hair dripping water, I wore my Mickey mouse trousers and tank top with the hair band after putting my hair in a low and lazy bun, then wore my Mickey mouse fluffy slipper. I'm fan of cartoons, almost all my nightys are cartoon characters. My mom used to buy them for me when I was little, I had every single thing I wanted. My cousin would come for holidays and I would mostly lock myself up in my toy room because I didn't want to share my dolls. Looking back at the memories now it was all dumb.
I picked a korean series 'Sweet revenge ' Konyii hates korean dramas, kpop all in all which is why I'm picking it. She cant get away with taking her bath before me.
"Change that rubbish!" She shouted making my heart leap against my chest
"Gosh, woman calm down, " I held my palm against my chest "Do you want to give me a heart attack? Don't kill me for my parents oo, I'm the only one they have!"
"Well change it!" she scrunched up her face
"Just watch one episode, you'll like it ah," then I jumped on the bed taking the popcorn from her.
"I dont- " she was cut off my Bola barging in
"Hello sisters, what are we doing today?" And she jumped on my bed, on the part where Konyii wanted to stay, earning a slap from her
"What was that for now?" Bola asked rubbing her thigh where she got the slap
"Stand up joor, can't you see that place is arranged well with pillows?" Konyii said as she dragged her off the bed
"Both of you will arrange my bed if you dare pull the covers out!" I said looking sternly at them making them stop to looked at me, looked at eachother and then continued. I should have known they wouldn't stop, so I waited for them to stop. When they were tired after two minutes they stopped and rested on the bed panting hard earning a giggle from me.
"What's funny?" Konyii Asked looking over at me
"Let's just watch abeg, " I said turning the laptop while they made themselves comfortable on the bed
" I'm not watching this with you guys, " Konyii said giving a straight face
"C'mon please, " I pouted, she looked over at Bola.
"I'm only here for the food!" She said making us laugh.
"Ok fine!"
"Yay!" I gave her a wet peck
"Ew, get yo nasty a** mouth off me." she said pushing me away, we laughed and we began watching the series and munching on snacks. That's how the night went and we all slept off on my bed in wierd positions.
Iwo lo mo- that's your business.
Ok that's it for the first chapter, how do you guys see it.
Abi likes rolling her eyes too much, this character is sponsored by my cousin she can also roll eye for africa.
Pls give me your feedbacks, I'll really appreciate it.
The next day we woke up with backaches, next time I'm chasing them away from my bed, everytime I say this I don't keep my word."Next time, I don't want to see you guys on my bed, ni to ri Olorun" I told them stretching my body, hearing the cracking sound they looked at me and I looked at them."Was that your back?" Konyii asked."No your back " and I rolled my eyes standing up and going into the bathroom "E lo sha lu wala oo" I shouted from the other side of the door."Yes ma!" that is definitely Bola.We prayed and went back to sleep didn't even have breakfast, guess we'll be having brunch."Aburo mi, bawo ni?" I heard my cousins voice all the way from my room."I'm good aunty, " I heard a masculine deep voice talking in Brits"Gosh you're much taller than the last tim
When I say my day was horrible, I wasn't joking. So after Mr Jerk sped away, I went into the shop and saw lots of customers, it would have been easy to ditch but I don't want my cousin to be angry at me, so I stayed. I went into the kitchen, washed my hands, put on my special apron which no-one must use except me, or else, Lord help that person and then put on the disposable cap, picked my pen and paper and got to work.I collected an order from table 14 and dished it out, went to the table and met with a couple, I then proceeded to drop the order and I was about leaving when I heard my name pronounced wrongly by one person I would never forget her voice. Kelsey."Abbey?" I turned around back to the table, I hadn't noticed she was the one, I hadn't even noticed the guy was the idiot from my first year in college."Hey, Kelsey, " I faked a smile at her, ignoring Bob sitting in front of her.
After I woke up I sat still on my bed crossed leg, looking at nowhere in particular. Flash backs of what happened started flashing across my eyes, making tears sting the back of my eyes but I looked up to prevent the tears from slipping out. Then there was a knock on my door, it was my mum."Oko mi, I'm not here to apologize because you know you're wrong. You need to stop being the daddy's girl everyone knows you are, you need to grow up. We have accepted the fact that your dad spoiled you to this extent, don't you think it's time you start acting your age. At 23 I had you, but here you are at 22 still acting 16. Which man do you think is willing to marry a daddy's baby like you?" she said looking at me in a motherly way, I just kept mute because I know she's right after all, but I won't admit it. I know I still act daddy's girl, but why is she bringing marriage now?"I don't kn
Tobi's POVI looked at her after she said if we could branch at Tesco, I ignored her. It feels good to piss her off."Can we please make a quick stop at Tesco?" She asked."Can you just stop ignoring me? I'm speaking to you!" She screamed and I didn't budge."Stop screaming like a dog bitten crazy woman. " I replied, raising my voice a little."I'm very sure you're talking about your mom and not me, " I pressed the brakes really fast, did she just bring my mom into this? If anything, I don't joke with my mother."Get out, " I said in a dangerously low tone, she didn't flinch."And what if I don't?" She said crossing her hands over her portable breast, that would have been a different case if it wasn't for the
Abiola's POVI looked at him from my seat, it didnt seem like he was listening."Tobi, will you please take Abiola to where she would start her tutor?" My mom asked him, he didnt reply. Simply because he wasn't listening. I mentally rolled my eyes."What do you say Tobi?" Aunt Temi asked him."Huh.. " He said looking stupid ." He wasn't even listening, " I said said rolling my eyes."Abiola, Walahi ti o ba gbenu e dake ni be yen, " My mom gave me a look and I looked down at my food, cursing under my breath. " Ki lo so?" My mom asked daring daring me to repeat what I said .
Abiola's POVAs I packed my things, I realised I had more than I needed. My mom had to give me three extra bags to pack up, funniest part is that most of them, I don't use them."Ah, madam, you will not break my back." Konyii complained, rubbing her back."Sorry. As if it's not you That makes me buy unnecessary things." I said, dragging the first box with me."Ahh, how? If I buy hell now will you follow me and buy?"" As long as you buy. " I said making her laugh.We finally finished packing around 10am. We aren't slow, we took a break to eat, use our phones and chatter among ourselves. Ok, we were a tad bit slow.I got ready and dressed up. My mom said after I am done taking my things to the house, I should text Tobi and ask for the address."Aunt mi, I'll miss you!" I said pecking aunt Temi on the cheek,"I'll miss you t
Abiola's POVWhen we got to the estate, it was a really nice estate. Ayo's house was a two storey building, I wonder what a bachelor would be thinking living in a two storey alone. I couldn't even live in a two bedroom apartment alone, that's why my parents had suggested I stayed with my cousin while my dad went to manage his business.His house has this manly feels to it, not the homey feels. It is covered with manly cologne. I knew if there was a woman living in the house, it would have the homey feels to it.I looked outside to where the guys were talking, it looked like Ayo was mad at Tobi for some reason. He was throwing his arms around looking pissed, I so wanted to eavesdrop but I didn't.I looked around the sitting room, it has a picture of Ayo and Tobi hanging on the wall facing the door, then a family picture with Tobi in it, Are they brothers? They don't look anything alike.
Tobi's POVI still don't know why she ignores me like that, I didn't do anything to her. She just acts like I'm invisible and I don't know why that hurts so much.I was driving to work when my phone rang. I checked the caller id and it was my younger sister's nanny."Hello Mr Tobi, Tope is having an attack again!" She sounded really panicked. Shit! I made a quick U-turn and hung up on her. I called my colleague and asked him to cover up for me.I started praying. I hope I make it home in time, she's the only one I have left. I promised I'll make sure nothing happens to her. I called her nanny again to fill me up on what's happening."Her eyes are beginning to roll backwards, and she's foaming!" No, no no no no!!! Not foaming!!My s
Abiola's POV I woke up the next morning all sore from the exercise we went through over night. I looked over at Tobi and he was smiling. "Who knew you could be that naughty?" He teased burying his head in my neck. I hovered over him and started kissing him again, but my phone rang, bringing us out of the make out session. I looked at the caller id and it was Ayo. I picked it immediately. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, but...." He trailed off, his voice shaky. I became scared immediately. "But?" "Konyinsola..." I jumped up from the bed. "What happened to her?" I asked putting on the sweatpant I saw on the chair. Tobi stood up too and came to collect the phone from me. He kept it on loud speaker. "She's in the hospital, she was bleeding." He said. I began hyperventilating. "Well be there in a bit." Tobi responded and rubbed
Abiola's POV "I don't think I can do this." I breathed out, rubbing my palms together. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was dressed in a white mermaid off the shoulder detachable bridal train dress. A white scarf tied in a bun and another long one draped and pinned on it. A light nude make up on my face. A short silver sheets and a white feather bridal hand fan. I was fully dressed and all I was waiting for was for my mom to come and get me. "Don't even try it." Konyii came closer to me, holding my shaky and sweaty hands. She was heavily pregnant at 7 months and could hardly move her swollen legs, she's with twins!"I don't know, I'm just....." I said sitting down. Just then, my mom came in, she saw how distressed I was and walked faster. "I can't." I whispered, face palming myself. My mom came and held my hands in her
Abiola's POV "Are you going to do double piercing for her?" Konyii asked Fikayo who was seated on her bed, resting her back as she fed Bella. "I don't know, her dad might not want it." She said, referring to mine and Bella's dad. "I'll do it for her, he can't get angry at me." I was using the advantage of the fact my dad knew deep down, I was still a little mad at him. Fikayo looked at me and nodded her head, I knew she wanted it too. "Make it three, it's all on you." Konyii said. "Nah, two is okay. When she grows and she wants more, I'll always do it for her." Fikayo shrugged placing Bella in my arms. I placed her carefully in her pink decorated cot and covered her body well. They would be leaving in the evening, so my mom was setting things up. I love my mom so much and no one can replace her. Many women out there won't help with anything, instead, it would be fight all day long.
Abiola's POV "You're so naughty!" Tobi said tapping my nose making me giggle. We were in his room, cuddled up on his bed. A movie was showing for background noise only. "What?! I'm serious, but I can't wait to hold Bella again. She's just too beautiful and I can't explain the feeling." I said playing with the ring he gave me. I thought of asking him about his parents but decided against it. "Spill it." He said pulling my cap, I quickly held it tight on my head, slapping his hands away. He hasn't seen the length of my hair yet and has always tried to see it. "Spill what?" I asked, looking as if nothing is bothering me. "You want to ask about my parents, ask. What do you wanna know?" He said standing up. His sweatpants going down a little, I quickly averted my gaze, before my mind goes haywire. "How did they die?" I asked slowly. He looked at me and I regretted aski
Abiola's POV 8 months later"Ahh!" My step mom shouted, clutching her large stomach. She bent over using the couch as support. Right now, I had gone home for my weekend visits. I had promised my mom I would only be coming on weekends to spend time with her. A lot had happened in the past eight months. Konyii and Ayo finally got married after so much drama from her dad, her mom threatened to leave with all her kids and Konyii would still get married and there's nothing he would do about it. He hesitantly agreed. Gun long forgotten. The wedding, which was five months ago, was just amazing, her cousins even her grandma came and she totally ignored the old woman, till her wedding day which she only greeted her and that was all. We also used the opportunity to meet Ayos family, but Tope avoided each and everyone of them. Now, she's three months pregnant and takes every oppo
Abiola's POV"Abiola!" I heard my name being called. I turned around to meet the gaze of Wale."Hey." I said and began walking forward. Currently, we were going into the restaurant."You've been ignoring me, did I do something wrong?" I rolled my eyes."Of course you did." I stopped immediately and turned to him. My parents and konyiis parents stopped, so did Bola and Tope."What did I do?" He asked. I felt like bashing his head on the floor."Are you asking me what you did? The fact you've been playing me all along or the fact you're a bastard!" I snapped. He looked at Tobi all of a sudden and anger flashed through his eyes, while Tobi kept his calm."So you told her huh?! You fucker!" He said and punched Tobi square on the jaw. I gasped and ran towards them, holding Tobi by his arm. He didn't react, he only looked at
Abiola's POVI was about to close my room door, but it got hooked. I looked up to see Tobi, then looked down and saw his foot. He pushed open the door and walked in. "Tobi, just leave. Please!" I cried out. "Listen to me, atleast you slapped me already." He said touching his cheek. "I don't care and I'm not sorry. Just leave!" I snapped, but he just looked at me. I gave up trying to chase him out and sat on my bed, face buried in my palms. I heard his footsteps coming closer to me and I looked up at him. He squatted in front of me and tried to hold my hand, but I moved away from him. He rubbed his face and looked at me. "Please, listen to me." He said, grabbing my hands firmly. "I don't want to." I hicupped. He stood up and walked out. I heard the front door slam close and I knew he had left. As much as I wanted to know why they played me like that, I wasn't ready.
Tobi's POV Gawd, I messed up. I looked at my watch as I waited for the damned time to hurry up, it's as if the clock is going slower. Tope has also been ignoring, saying there's a high chance Abiola won't talk to her, because we had told her to be a part of it when she said no. I looked beside me to see her using her phone, I tried touching her but she removed her hands and turned around completely. I sighed and kept on waiting. The image of Wale immediately got to my vision and I wanted nothing but to snap his head out of his body, that bastard. I thought I could trust the fool, but I was very wrong, very very wrong. I saw Tope stand up, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I'm going to get something." She said and walked away. I watched her go into a shop and I kept on watching to make sure she comes out safe. Some minutes later, she came out holding a plastic bag. She dropped it and the bag op
Abiola's POVI walked out on everyone, with Konyii running after me. He can keep his house and his wife, since I'm not needed. I started walking in the wrong direction to Konyii's house, until she dragged me back and pulled me with her, while I just followed her. She opens the passenger door of her car and I got in, while she got into the driver's side and we drove to her house in silence.When we got to her house, we came down and went inside. Her dad was seated on the sofa, watching some sports. When he heard us come in, he looked and nodded his head while we greeted him and walked further into the kitchen. My heart was beating and legs shaky. Remembering what I had done the last time I came to his house."Mummy!" Konyii called out to her mom who was cooking something like pasta. She turned around and smiled,seeing my teary face she walked over to me."What's wrong?" She asked cupping my fa
