Apart from the sweet aroma that filled the air in the kitchen,her phone's constant vibration and pitching ringtone kept disturbing their little moments together. Though Daniel might not have shown it but she was certain he was getting really uncomfortable with her phone buzzing,hence she switched it off. Deciding on answering complementary greetings later.
She watched in admiration as he hummed to the classic music that blared from the parlour while he handled the Jollof rice. Passionately turning the elegant delicacy garnished with fine carrots and peas uniquely displaying their bright colours with that of the food's redness. He danced stylishly to the other cooker. There was a sleek black frying pan on the gentle blue firebrimming from the cooker. She watched in wonder as he flipped the plantains with his large sleek spoon frying amidst the hot oil to it's other side in order to stop it from burning."You just wan

ZOEY As they walked hand in hand on the street of Champs Élysées avenue in the starry night filled with people and cars touring the road,Daniel was layered with a black coat buttoned to the top complementing his stylish light green sneakers on his fitting blue jeans. Likewise her,a stylish white coat,a small red bag decorated with orbital white spots on a pair of black trouser and a pair of light green ankle boots as the finishing touch.Maybe Daniel is not so perfect after all. Although he's always jovial and has this warming aura around him,he too has a dark side. In fact everyone has a dark side but the fact that he chose to share his innermost pains with her was because he considered her a friend,a true one. But what does she think of him?,a friend or something more. Either ways she thirsted to know. He's been the only person that put a true smile on her face during these months in Paris a

GRAYDressed finely in his black tux complemented with a bow tie. He looked at the ballroom twin door in front of him alongside his fiance,his right palm intertwined with hers. He took a quick glance at her again;just to ascertain himself. She was adorned in long red tight fitting gown,backless and with a slit that runs up from the tip to her mid-thigh. Her short blonde hair curly and with light make up to finish it all.He nodded to the men servant that stood side by side by the twin door,both dressed in fine black suit jacket. They bowed their head slightly before pushing the door open gently revealing an astonishing light radiating throughout the thrilling golden coloured ballroom of the great Robertson's filled with various high profiles dressed finely in formal clothes. The classic tune of fine music orchestrated by t

DANIEL"Dang it!" Daniel could swear he almost smashed his phone in frustration as Zoey's number failed countlessly or perhaps she was ignoring him. Which can't be helped considering the late night event that occurred yesterday. The unforseen,awkward moment when she those soft red lips of hers touched his....."I love your world." She whispered staring deep into his eyes. And without thoughts and worries. She kissed him.His eyes widened at first and if he had had the chance to breathe he would have gasped from surprising shock. He didn't kiss her back even as soft and enticing her lips were,he held back even when his whole body itched to kiss her badly,to hold her tightly in his grasp but he did otherwise. Standing like a fool or rather like a statue making her stop and staring into his eyes with confusion gracing them. He could feel how tensed she had grown,how nervous, obviously thinkin

ZOEY While Boxing day might have been a series of laid out enjoyable plan for many people out there hers was different. Nothing special just staying indoors with her friend,Jane.Zoey wouldn't lie she was exhausted from the day's festivities. Earlier today, Jane's family came over for a little party and stuffs. Of course she knew most of them being that she's been close friends with Jane right from childhood until they suddenly left for France. It was a great time to spend without thinking of yesterday's dramatic events.So here she is,gracing the night watching a suspense packed movie on the flat screen. One would think she was enjoying the view but deep inside,she was lost between her thoughts. One point of view repeatedly blaming herself for just taking that drastic step and at the other she f

DANIEL On a normal day,he usually would have woken up from his phone alarm or from tension of the day's work ahead but today,this day, was different. There was a tiny smile on his face,memories of last night replaying in his head. His eyes gently awoke from it's slumber and his senses were briskly greeted by her enticing scent. Her tousled Golden brown hair tingling against his chin and her warm breaths landing on his chest. His smile deepened,memories of their passionate sex playing again. He tilted his head slightly to get a perfect view of her face. There she was,sleeping ever graceful in his embrace. Beneath the blanket,her legs were intertwined with his and her arms wrapped around his waist. If he didn't look closely he wouldn't have noticed the cheeriness displayed on her face.His eyes darted across the room. Her room. Beautiful and simple although it wasn't muc

ZOEY"So is it safe to say you guys are sort of in a relationship now." Jane chirped with her glare on Zoey whose hands were busied on her steering and her eyes fixed upfront as she drove her dashing ash coloured 2019 Lamborghini Urus SUV out of Jane's apartment."Not 'sort of'. We're in a relationship" A momentary smile found it's way to Zoey's face. Just thinking about him alone brought this soothing and joyous feeling in her. Jane's dramatic sigh brought her mind blown thoughts to a close which caused her to gaze briefly at her friend."You love him?" Jane asked sternly. She could feel her gaze burning in on her skin."Why else would I be in a relationship with him?" She answered,knowing exactly where Jane was driving to."Does he love you?" She heard Jane say."Jane!""What!..." Jane pitched dramatically. "You and I both know wha

DANIELDaniel's day could not get any better,he could start from the success of Elles Magazine release titled 'UNTAMED'. Just today alone the magazine release is already widely accepted with much critical acclaim and their likes. His boss,Mr. Clinton had called earlier during the day congratulating him on his work well done and how much of a impression he'd put on him. Or the little party Zoey threw at Jane's apartment;he'd argued vehemently against the idea earlier but Zoey conquered him with ease."This is your first milestone!,you should celebrate." She had stated during their argument. So here he his enjoying the solemn evening in Jane's apartment filled with few people. Majorly some friends and crews Zoey had grown familiar with. None of them which seemed to interest him noticing that most of the men were secretly flirting with her. But what could he do?, It's not her fault that her body is a work of art or that she's

DANIELDaniel draped his left arm lazily over his bed spread as if in search of someone. His eyes were still too sleepy to open but his other senses were alert to this new environment. He could start with the feels of his warm cashmere blanket,the smell of paints and wooden sticks,the crickety sounds his rickety king-sized bed produced as his body toured lazily over the platform,the crows of birds that peered around their large windows,the afro vibes music that seamlessly played in a low tune and the aroma of freshly made chicken stew which obviously were Idris's doing. It took him a while to realise he wasn't in Paris anymore,where he would either wake up to the warmth provided by the fireplace,the impeccable scent of his bed back in Hôtel Britannique and the solemnity that accompanied the morning thereof. He thought of other days when he would wake up in the arms of Zoey. Both of them cuddling together an

DANIELPARISDaniel dressed his son,John, in the same outfit he was donning. A classic short sleeves dark blue T-shirt layered with a dark green bomber jacket. On a blue slim fit jean and black Chelsea boots to complement it all. He shot his son a bright smile once he had finished dressing him up."There! My little Johnny looks stunning." Daniel gestured with a wink while John grinned sheepishly. The boy's eyes flowed to Funke who stood behind them."Mommy!" John pulled away from his grasp and up to his mother. Daniel arose to his stance shooting his divorced wife a faint smile. They've been divorced for two months now but they still went on vacations together. Only for John's sake. During this months,he resigned from his managerial position and resumed his work in photography. He was also based in New York with his son while Funke remained in Nigeria with a working class job. H

DANIEL As Daniel stared into the Camera Zoey bought for him eight years ago,memories of yesterday flashed. How she retained her ever graceful beauty. Except for the changes which he still fancied. Her long straightened black hair she notably dyed. The rest were just the same;her petite body,those Hazel eyes that glittered and her soft voice which always melted his heart. There was also the sadness accompanied with her smile. It signified how much pain and suffering she had faced over the years. She might not have noticed it but he did. Daniel's mind travelled to the walk and conversation they shared at a garden. He realize her perspective towards issues had changed too. She had grown pessimistic and overly stiff towards him. It was bound to happen anyway. After so many misunderstandings and long years apart,she was right to distrust him. His hands curled into a fist when he remembered all the sufferings she

ZOEY"I must say you've changed drastically." Daniel mumbled as they walked down the street with cups of Coffee in their hands. She arched her eyebrows briefly."The same can be said for you too." She remarked."Oh well,thanks to my past life." He smiled but she ignored it. Choosing to pay attention to even the slightest act he orchestrated. "I have a son." He muttered in a solemn tone. "John,a six year old." His eyes were fixed upfront. She knew he wasn't ready to face her from the guilt that consumed him. On the other hand,she was shocked and failed miserably in handling the bombshell. There was also the pain that sprang up in her chest too."Congrats." Was all she could force her nerves to say. He gazed at her."That didn't come from your heart." He remarked."And how do you know that?" She retorted. Her palms secretly clenching.

DANIEL As the plane landed on the cold floor of New York,all Daniel could think of was the day before. How his Mother had argued vehemently against his decision and Funke crying helplessly. Looking pathetic in her pleas levied to him. Regardless,he didn't waver on his decision. And to avoid further troubles,he decided to move to New York under the pretence of work urgency. Of course Funke had done a lot for he and his family but that didn't warrant love. The moment he had gotten his memories,he realized who his heart belonged to. Zoey Johansson. On a normal day,Daniel would have chosen to pay his friends a visit. But today trailed a different path. Zoey was his only priority. He thirsted to see her,how she has been faring,what work she was up too and above all,the changes she embraced over the years. Thinking about the good times together brought a smile to his face and more than ever he wished to reliv

DANIEL° "Mommy don't tell you're proposing a marriage between Funke and I?" He lifted his eyebrow in a quizzical manner. "What does it look like I'm doing? You've stayed abroad long enough and you're beginning to loose your touch with culture." "That's not enough reason mommy. Besides,I'm not ready for any marriage wahala."

DANIEL"Where are you?!"Daniel sighed,glaring wearily at his iPhone that brightened from his wife's message that popped on his screen. He tossed his phone across his desk from mild irritation.Eight years. Within a span of this period a lot had happened,things had changed. He could start with him rising to a managerial post in one of GT bank's head office. All appraisal to Funke. Back then, he had appreciated her efforts and affection for him until his mother proposed the idea of marriage. He disagreed vehemently but as time passed with Funke continuing her sweet actions. Pressure from both sides,he eventually succumbed for one reason. To repay the debts as she had already done a lot for he and his family.His marriage was blissful when it just bloomed. Although as it aged,Joy became a news of the past,peace ceased to reign. All that replenished their marriage was ceaseless arguments and

ZOEY Zoey started her day with heavy drinking but she need not to worry. Her body had already grown accustomed to this new habit. It wasn't anyone's fault though,she only blamed herself for being weak. Weak to face life and it's harsh reality. Her days of childhood were spent in pampering by her parents. Even when she had grown into a young adult,her life basically still defined pampering. Everything she wanted was at ease. She didn't have to go through life's struggles and hustles be it. But soon that sweet life changed the moment the first love of her life changed drastically. From the most loving man to a monster in disguise. Then her life migrated from Gray to Daniel. The most adorable,sweetest,caring and handsome man she's ever seen. She smiled sadly staring at the photo album he had gifted her on Christmas. Dated to that day,she had vowed to treasure it and keep the memories that came along with this gift in her heart. But loo

DANIEL"That was for kissing me last night without my permission." His calm tenor voice came out seductive yet thrilling in a way. She let out the chill air residing in her throat as his gaze were still strongly locked to hers and his face inching closer by every second appreciating the beauty her face beheld."And this..." That sweet tune escaped his lips again. He looked at those Hazel eyes again. Innocent and pure."Is for stealing my heart." He finally finished his statement and without further ado. He smashed his lips against hers again. Her moans weren't given much liberty to escape her throat as his tongue had found it's way to hers. Intertwining passionately,both basking in their lustful sensations and struggling for domination.Then another blurry memory played in his head.H

FUNKE The morning was peaceful but she was at war. Daniel's mother had gone to the market while Uncle B busied himself with his usual business;drinking and chasing after women with his friends. Leaving her with Daniel who was still asleep in his room. Days had passed since she last visited nor even spoken to Daniel. She was only here due to his mother's request. The feeling of rejection was still there. Her love for him could be dated back to their secondary school days. When she had bumped into him from obliviousness at the library. Their array of books had clashed and crashed to the marble floor but he didn't take offence. Rather,he had expressed the most brightest and heartwarming smile she had ever seen. Scooping her book gently and arranging them in a straightened order. She had apologized countlessly for her actions but he maintained his countenance,apologizing instead. It was that smile,that care and warmth i
