When we arrived at the hospital mom is already awake, she is talking with dad
"Mom how are you" I said apshe smiled, though weak"Am fine" she answered"You gave us quite the scare there" the devil said"Am sorry" mom said, trust the devil to make one apologize even in such situation "Well you're forgiven, cause you gave us a bundle of joy" he said with a smile, I couldn't agree more. Mom came home after a month, it was straight party for 2 weeks, we have started our August holiday, my grandmom came for her two weeks omugwo (that's when grandmother comes to help take care of the mother and the new baby). She came with one small girl. Nearing the end, daddy's parents also came to visit. It was a full house, so I have to share a room with the devil. Normally I would rather sleep on the cushion, but damn I want to have it even if for a day. "So guys its just for one night" dad said to us. Devil was just nodding, I love itHe told me everything, what dad have already told me, what surprised me that he have loved me ever since."Why didn't you tell me about your feelings since you know we are not related" I asked"Well I discovered you love another, and I was nervous you will hate me if you knew about my mental break down" he said with a shrug"So why do you bully me then" I asked, we are now walking home"Cause that's the only way I can take most of your time, and make you think about me, even if its hate kind of way" he said, how mischievous"You know, my first kiss was Oliver it first like nothing, but yours gave me all the electricity and butterfly, even the second kiss still leaves me wanting more" I said, he chuckled"You think he is your first kiss" he laughed"Yea, I know who I kissed first" I said"You think I would allow someone take that from me" he said with a wink, he must have done something"What did you do devil" I asked, gi
As the march progress, everybody is disappointed, he kept missing the ball, even after dribbling his way to the goal post he will miss the shot. He is way out of his game, he will occasionally look at the two guys"What's wrong with your brother" Martha asked. I can't answered he isn't even enjoying the game, he doesn't look excited.He kept at it till first half was over, I have to go know what's wrong, I have to go to the team."What's your brother playing at" Oliver said to me as I approached the team"What do you mean by that" I barked at him"He missed even open post" he barked back, I hate the fact its true"Get away from her" I heard the devil speaks, we turn to him, he have the looks of a killer. Oliver knowing he is not someone to mess with gave us space and went I stood with the other players."What's wrong" I asked"How do you mean" he feigned innocent."You are way off your game, is something wrong" I a
The court is next week, dad already got a lawyer, I visit him allows, he is always happy to see him, I know he hides his sorrows, but no matter how much he tries to hide it, its still in his eyes."Sorry I didn't put on any make up to show you a beautiful me" I said,He cupped my cheek and looked at me "no make up can make one this beautiful" he said and I smile, he always have his ways "and I melt" again I released a little giggle'Cupcake I want to tell you something" he said"What" I asked"Forget me, move on with your life, this case is a simple one, I will be convicted. I will be lucky if the sentence is 15 years, you are a very beautiful girl with bright future don't worry about me. I" I slapped him before he finished, I don't care about the police this time. He looked at me"I once told you am prepared for war, you think you think I was just being poetic. Mr devil I mean every word of it" I said as firm as I can, he looked at me
(Devils POV)Am just starring at the girl, that just don't mean the world to me but changed the world also, she is watching her favourite tv program and am watching her. I have been doing that since I can remember, I always look at her when she is not seeing. That way I get to see how she slowly smile when something good happen, or how she gasp or make a happy song."I told you, he will marry her" she said, I smiled, I don't even know what the program is about. I feel more about her every day. I fall either for her contagious laugh, or warm smile or baby like wink, she justp mesmerize me. All these started the day I went into that store, I never knew what I find there will change me for life. I was bullying her that was the only way I get her to think about me, if it was possible I would have beat the crap out of Oliver, but I can't cause he have nothing to do with this. I left cause my heart couldn't handle the pain, but was damn happy when I came back and saw her
(Devil's POV)"Mom, what will we name her?" I asked as I maneuver slowly, the boss is letting me drive today. Everybody is happy it been long my parents have been waiting for this child. So, it took me 13 years to have a kid sister, the ultrasound said so."Will haven't thought about that," My mom said rubbing her belly gently with a gorgeous smile, she is sitting in the back, I stared at her through the mirror, just for a bit and returned my focus to the road. Am sitting on the boss laps as he helps me maneuver."Boss, it's time for you to marry," my dad said, he started calling his best friend boss too because that's what I call him."Haven't found the right person." he replied with a slight chuckle and my mom scoffed."Are you even looking?" she asked. A little conversation ensued and boss makes sure not to accelerates the car so that it will be easy for me, I turned back to look at my mom as she said something funny. It happene
"Where is my favourite lover boy," I heard Amanda calling, I rushed out from my room only to be engulfed by her, I missed her."I missed you so much." I said as I wrapped my arms around."I know, I always leave a space that can't be filled." she jested as she broke the hug, always trust Amanda to praise herself."So how have you been?" I asked as I followed her to her room to unpack, am sure Aunt Margret will be fixing her something already."Same old, am more interested in knowing about your life." she said with a grin, I know that would be the case so I just looked away "our lover boy is shy" she cooed and I denied the accusation, but seriously who wouldn't be.I sat on the chair as she dropped her box on the bed and started unpacking, she is the sister I never had."So, am all ears," she said. She is someone that will never let go of any opportunity to hear something interesting."Nothing much, you already know I have not gone to see her since I left," I said
I am worried, Cupcake no longer has a long conversation with me, she always comes up with the excuse of doing something and tonight I woke with another dreadful dream. This time Cupcake was in the car with us, am being swallowed by my fears."Am now being the architecture of my own demise." I said to Amanda, am lying on her laps and she is playing my hair, she is twisting it making it appear like dreadlocks.She successfully dragged me to see her stupid friends, I was so disgusted by their behaviour, how could girls lack so much decency. Well, as payback I dragged Amanda to the field to watch me play, she always hates football, worse she had to deal with the guys hitting on her."Those sweaty urchins." she calls them."All these could be averted if you go to her," she said, I didn't tell her of my dreams, am afraid saying it out loud will make it a reality."I know, I will do that tomorrow." I made up my mind last night, I chose to ignore my fears since my love for he
(Cupcake pov)Am such a fool I kept thinking as tears rolled down my eyes, I don't care about the awkward glance people are giving me I just couldn't control the tears. Mercy was right all men are the same, if Mike could cheat on her even after all his love then what makes Devil different.It would've been better if I didn't come to surprise him, I would still be living the lie and putting into account how heartbroken I am, the lie is not a bad idea. I remembered what we have been through, the court, the school, Oliver, and everything, I thought he was it for me. I looked at my finger and the ring he gave me still shines, it is a silver ring, if he knew he would be tempted by other girls why bother with the promise ring. I made the attempt to remove it, as it is the first time ever I found myself weak and unable to remove it, instead I wept."Did someone died?" I heard a little voice asked me, I turned to see a cute little girl beside me sitting on her mother's laps,
We're now all in my hostel, with the adult gone and the sky darkening, we are now about to enter a real party.Amanda is going back sadly because she has somewhere to be tomorrow, good news the devil is staying the night and Martha too."So now we have all ate Esther's food, what remains is to dance and make her party lively." Valentine said already drunk. I am the only one having my Matriculation in my hostel since I am the only year one student, I am already named last born in the hostel."Yeah!" they all chorused except for the devil, I am sitting on his laps, he is drawing circles with his finger and I can't begin to say how hot it is."So you came." I asked a little bit loud since the music is on."Wouldn't miss it for the world." he said and dragged me up "come on let's all go outside and dance." he said and the people still remaining I side my room stood up and went outside. I removed my suit jacket then wore one of his polo since it's getting da
I am now living at Awka the hostel room I rented, it been two weeks I broke up with my devil and I am not fine but I refuse to cry because that will mean I have accepted the fact. He still texts me asking about my school life but we're but careful not to flirt with each other making our conversation boring, unfortunately for him, his name didn't come out in the second barge of river state university.I am now preparing for my matriculation, Amanda promised to come and she must drag the devil with her, we are still hiding our break up from our parents."So have you made all preparation?" Jessica my lodge mate asked me, she is a 200 level student, we became friends almost immediately, the only downside is she is a party girl."I have nothing much to do, my parents will take care of everything." I replied and she gushed."Parents girls" she mocked and I rolled my eyes."Your boyfriend is hot as hell." she said for the million times as she checks out his picture
"The devil." he replied making me remember the last time he said that.Once again am amazed by the man before me, I don't like fighting but I don't deny the fact I feel safe with him around."This is our village get lost," one of them said, they are tout that only feels powerful in their village."Let her go and we would get lost together," said the devil and seeing how his hands are balled to a first I know he is holding back."But I don't want to," the fool said and went ahead to kiss my hand, the gesture was so repulsing that I nearly puked so I closed my eyes to get myself together but when I opened it, I saw Devil giving him first of many blows.He instantly left me and devil not giving them the chance to gather themselves attacked them with a series of blow and kicks. The two guys would've gathered themselves but the punches and kicks from devil were so powerful it always leaves them confused."How dare you touch her with your peasant hands and ev
I woke up in the morning feeling sore, I didn't feel his presence so I stood up but before I could get up from the bed he entered carrying a cup of tea. The fresh scent filled the room making my mouth to water."Aren't you such a darling" I gushed and he smiled."I could've sworn you said beast last night." he said as he placed the tray on the bed and I glared at him for repeating last night event. Not that I didn't enjoy, it's actually one of my best night but with my fave turning all red from even thinking of it shows how embarrassed I am."Just shut up," I said trying to ignore him."For the record, you're beautiful inside out." He said and it warmed my heart until he winked making me realise what he meant."Go eat shit!" I shouted at him."What did I do""Get out, get out" I started throwing pillow at him that he had to run away from my presences. I exhaled as I was alone, I can remember a lot of girls complaining how their first times leaves t
When we got home he asked me to go shower that a horror movie will be waiting by the time I come out, I know he will use the USB to play it on the tv. I went to freshen up and hope he doesn't finish the drink before I come back, well since he is also going to freshen up I think he won't.I came out wearing his black polo which looks like a gown to me, mini gown. I smiled as I saw how he eye raped me."You should be careful not to arouse me tonight cupcake." he growls making me giggle."Wouldn't that be a sight." I said then came and laid beside him as he switched on the tv, he poured a glass for me and I gladly accepted."What's the name?" I asked after taking the first sip."Final destination 4" he answered and I gulped. I have heard a lot about the movie, about how the main character will have a premonition about the cruel death of him and his friends, luckily he will avoid it at that moment but unfortunately, the grim reaper will come after them one by on
After my personal clean up am now in the sitting room waiting for devil to come out and I wonder how it is possible for the lady to finish first."Wow" I heard his voice behind me making me turn my head. I was about to give him a piece of my mind for making me wait but I lost all words as he appears to be hot as hell.He is putting on black polo with black jeans, he always looks good in what he wears but black is just too exceptional."Wow," I said too as we stood ogling at each other."Perhaps we should skip the putting and just eat each other up." he joked and I giggled."I don't mind" I replied he then laughed and came closer."Haven't heard of leaving the best for the last?" he asked and I nodded he then took me by the hand as we stepped outside."What are we going to do outside?" I asked."Let's just go buy a movie, perhaps tomorrow we will go to the stream?" he said as if he was making a suggestion."Am hoping it will be horro
I kept looking at him since I couldn't believe my eyes, maybe it is playing games on me because I miss him too much am now seeing his mirage. I walked closer, already his scent has filled the room, the closer I get to him the more am convinced he is real, I stretched out my hands and touched his cheeks."You're real," I said and he smiled"Of course I am," he said as he places his hands on mine which is still on his cheek."How is this possible?" I asked."Well, it took me a while to convince the boss, we actually kept it a secret from boss-lady so am here because of my honour and trust not to let any harm come to you." he said and it made sense, no wonder dad said I will call and thank him later."So you have been planning this for a while" he nodded "and kept it from me?" I asked with a frown."Yes, you're not the only one with an element of surprise." he said smiling and I giggled."Best surprise ever" I threw myself at him, God this is better t
Luckily am done with clearance and have gotten an apartment, I made sure not to give Jonathan any hope of being a thing with me and he took the hint. I have brought the necessary things I need for school and dad was the one to take it to my hostel so it was less stressful for me. It's now Saturday so I plan to go on Sunday evening, am so eager.Truthfully I also plan to persuade Mavis to come and visit me and also see the school with me, after all, am hoping he's name will be among the last barge, so the earlier I go back the better I can convince him."So when is the Matric?" my mom asked, this is the third te this week."The date has not yet been fixed, though some are saying it might be last week of November or first week of September." I answered and concentrated in my bag which am arranging. We are still in October so we still have time."Alright, what of your friend?" she asked. She meant Martha, she is now in school and she has been telling how she is enjo
Am on my way to Unizik, luckily my dad didn't drive me, I persuaded him. When I did my post ume he brought me and waited till I was done and took me home, because of that I wasn't able to wait for Mavis who took his own the following day."I hope you're wearing a long gown." Devil said to me.Am currently speaking with him over the phone, he has been asking me not to give any boy my number or flirt with anybody."Nope, am wearing a blue trouser and black top." I answered and he growled making me giggle. Speaking with him make forget that I am in a public bus."That is too revealing, if you haven't gone far, I propose you go back and change that." he said and I laughed."Don't worry, your package is intact" I said and hope nobody understands what I meant."Naughty, you are already messing up with my mind even when you're far away from me." he scoffed and I felt like playing dumb."How do you mean, all I said was package." I whispered an
