2020-12-11 01:14:52The chirps of the morning birds roused me up from sleep. I yawned loudly, stretching myself lazily. I opened my eyes widely, closing it back immediately and opening it again. I couldn't recognize where I was, the room looked strange to me.
where am I? Or have I been kidnapped?
"Good morning." a voice called out, I jolted out of the bed.
"Calm down," Mr Okorie said, chuckling loudly. He was in a pair of grey joggers and a black sweat shirt. He sat comfortably on the nude oversized seater at the far end of the room.
"What am I doing here?" I asked, going back to sit at the edge of the bed.
"You don't remember?" he asked.
"Oh!" I said out loud, as everything that happened resurfaced.
"I should take my leave now." I whisphered, getting up from the bed.
"You actually look cute in your sleep." he said, smirki

I've been avoiding Mr Okorie for the past two hours, this mansion was warning me off or something. I silently prayed he doesn't come into the study room till I'm gone."Are you hiding from my dad?" Mary asked, raising an eyebrow."No," I replied, laughing awkwardly."Why would I?" I asked."I don't know, I'm just assuming." She replied,"There will be a party here tomorrow, I don't know if my father told you." she added.I didn't reply, I just shook my head in a negative response."Are you in love with my dad?" she asked all of a sudden."What! What gave you this idea? Like, I've known your dad for how many days now."She just stared at me without saying another word."You know what? Lets just resume today's work." I said, breaking off the silence.

The ride to my house was quite, only the music playing in the car stereo could be heard. I gave Mr Okorie the directions to my house, he drove carefully along the untarred road of my street. I was kind of embarrased as the car kept bumping into pot holes."Sorry__" he said, as I almost bumped my head against the dashboard."No, I should be the one apologizing. This road is not suitable for your car." I replied."What type of road is suitable in this country?" he asked."I really don't know." I replied, laughing loudly."That is my house over there, you can park the car right close it." I said softly."Got it!" he replied.I watched him manoever his way like a pro, before he finally parked."Thank you, David." I said, opening the door and getting out."You are welcome," He replied.&nb

The atmosphere in my parents house was not as tensed as I thought it would be, the house was full. Grandchildren and daughter in laws surrounded my parent, my dad looked so happy as he played with his grandchildren, the triplets too were clearly having fun. I looked at my mum to find her already glaring at me. I looked away, groaning. I can't blame her though, I'm her first child and I'm still as single as a pringle. She was expecting me to come here with a man but I came here empty handed.Dumbi's girlfriend wasn't even what I was expecting, one thing about Dumbi was that he likes his girls voluptuous, very big with the right quantity of curves in the right places, but what I was seeing was absolutely different, the girl was tiny and she looked small. But she was really beautiful. I wonder if she knows how many rival she has.My dad is a retired soldier and my mum a retired nurse. Those two played a greater role in what I today.&nbs

I had it in mind to avoid Mr Okorie after what happened between us few days ago. I just wasn't ready to face him yet, how was I to look at his face after what happened."Are you okay ma'm?" Mary asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes," I replied, nodding my head.She looked at me for a long time, it was clearly obvious she didn't believe me."Are you sure? because you look lost." she said."I'm okay mary." I replied."Well lets do something to keep your mind off whatever you are thinking.""What about you asking me some questions?" she asked."Hmmm..hmmm...hmmm." I mumbled out audibly."Sure, that is a great idea." I said clearly."So start." she ordered.I raised an eyebrow up as I thought about the questions to ask."Is Mr

It started with early morning sickness and uncontrollable cravings for weird foods, on a normal day I don't eat sea food, but that was exactly what I have been craving for. I couldn't place what was happening to me. I got tired easily even without doing stressful things. I haven't been to work. I stopped going to Mr Okorie's mansion a week ago and I have not regretted it one bit. Staying away from him was the best thing to do at the nomenf.I really do miss him but I really do not want to get attached to him, more than I am already. I blew out a frustrated breath as I went into my Kitchen. I got myself a plate of fried fish and began eating it, surprisingly the taste was delicious to me. I kept chewing on it while standing. Suddenly a feeling of nausea hit me, I dropped the plate of fish on the kitchen slab, as I ran towards the toiled, vomitting everything in my tummy out.I inhaled deeply as I retched, retched and retched

There was something about the sky today. It looked different, it was clear, all bluish without the usual white drifting clouds. I sighed heavily. I had this feeling that things were about to change all of a sudden, like things were about to become absolutely different. After I sent Mr Okorie out of my house last week, he never checked back on me again, and I don't blame him though.The morning sickness and all other weird cravings are yet to stop, my periods were also late. Checking through the internet made me realize that, they were pregnancy symptoms. I have been keeping this huge fact to myself, I was scared to go to the hospital for a test. I was dreading the confirmation of the pregnancy. The only thing I could do was get some pregnancy skits, but the thing is that I have not got the boldness to try them out.I padded barefooted to the kitchen, I was craving for some prawn crackers. I was glad I had them in the upper cupboard in

I drawled out face palming."But you look sick to me, your body temperature is a little bit higher than normal to me." She replied, rubbing my temples"But mum, that does not mean I am sick."

My mind hasn't been at rest since last night, the pictures on Sandra's what's App status haunted my dreams through out the night, I was not even able to get enough sleep, plus I did not even know when I fell asleep. Last night was just short, like just too short. Maybe we had a longer day and a shorter night yesterday. I stretched fully on my soft plush bed. Yawning loudly."Just swallow us, do you hear?" Alex said out loud.I chuckled instead of replying him."I thought you were never going to wake up, sleep has spoilt you." Alex taunted.I rolled my eyes, as I sat up on my bed."Alex!" I exclaimed loudly."What!" he responded, chuckling loudly."Were you not supposed to say Good morning." I scolded with a frown on my face."See this one, you will tell me the day you turned to my mummy

"Dumbi." Sandra called, but I didn't dare look back. I just continued walking faster. I was really surprised to see her outside the class. It was clearly obvious she has been waiting for me, for a long time. I just wasn't in the mood to talk or listen to her. Alex keeps telling me I am being childish, but who cares."Dumbi just give me five minutes of your time," she yelled out.I sighed heavily before pausing, I turned around to face her."Okay, just five minutes. Nothing more." I said, crossing my arms around my chest."Thank you." she whisphered, I let my gaze rove over her. I did not like what I was seeing at all. She was wearing a baggy shorts and an over sized T shirt."I'm so sorry Dumbi for what I said to you last time, I seriously don't know what came over me the other day. I simcerely apologize.

Few weeks later.Going back home every weekends has become part of me, that being the reason why I am at home right now."Dumbi!"

I replied, getting up to change my clothes.I followed my dad all the way downstairs, looking up to his head, I could see he already dyed it again. Well this man has been refusing to grow old."We are expecting some visitors today," Dad said as we both walked down the stairs."What type of visitors?" I asked curiously."And whose visitors are they?" I asked again, pausing at the last stair case."Maybe August visitors, or how do you people call it. But do you remember Tara Gold?"
