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

ZOEYIf anything had intrigued her at the sight of finally reaching home,New York,it would have been the excitement of meeting Daniel after a long week apart!. The whole week she spent in Paris without him was torture!,at a point she nearly wanted to sky back to New York before the week ended but Jane wouldn't let her insisting they spent their leisure time as an all girls thingy!. It was quite interesting to be fair but nothing could be more relaxing than lying in the arms of your beloved,feeling the warmth his muscled chest emanated or the gentle walks along nature trails,across the streets of Paris where they spent time knowing more about each other,having healthy conversation and of course the occasional flirting too.Lizzy's gentle emphasis on her dashing 2020 Red Range Rover Sport honk seemingly jerked her back to reality. Only now did she realize she wasn't in her father's private jet nor at the airport but in

ZOEY As she stepped into the large room,her Stilettos commanded utter quietness. Her gracious presence was immediately greeted by the looks of shock and awe. She wore a cheery smile,her eyes touring over their faces carefully and then choosing to pay attention to the apartment. It was relatively large,with a dining at the edge behind her,large windows that were vague from dust at the other end she was facing,where she could have a view of the tall buildings in the city,there was a large bed in the middle but rooted to the wall,one look at it she could tell the rickety status of the bed, Tv,theatre were rightly positioned opposite the bed. But that wasn't what intrigued her about this room. The potent smell of curry intertwined with the faint scent of olives plus the various paintings that were scattered about the room;some finished while others were still in progress. Daniel didn't tell her he had a flair for paintings. So this was

GRAY Once the black limo arrived in front of his father's mansion. The back seat door where he currently resided in was gently opened by one of his Father's men servants dressed formally in their accustomed clothing; white shirt,black bow tie, a gold patterned rose design inscribed on their black jacket complemented with a pair of black blazing trouser.As he alighted from the vehicle his blonde hair was immediately greeted by gentle waves of air streaming past his full pompadour haircut. His blue eyes roamed about the magnificent white encrusted building uninterestingly while he unbuttoned his tomato red suit allowing the material to sway gently in tune with the forces of nature. He was daring an all black attire; a turtle neck sweater on a pair of chinos complemented with Chelsea boots. Only his suit Jacket gave the hint of red and his shiny gold wristwatch that made him stand out. He climbed the wide concr

ZOEYRice and chicken with a freshly dressed salad plus a glass of wine was served for dinner. While Gray simply ate in silence Zoey watched in despair as both families chewed on healthy conversations. Her Father and Mr. Robertson mostly talked business while the women shared their gists in low tones. They looked so happy and engulfed in their conversation which scared her all the more. This news she was about to drop would be a bombshell and a mood spoiler. Nevertheless,she decided to spill it out."I have something important to tell you all." She mumbled and then a sudden quietness followed suit. All eyes were on her at this point except for Gray who busied himself on his food."Gray and I are no longer together."

DANIEL"Last Card!" Idris yelled with discrete excitement coursing through his face. One would think he had the perfect Whot card to win the game regardless of whatever Daniel and Kayode played. Daniel rolled his eyes annoyingly while Kayode seemingly sighed,his right hand pacing back and forth on his forehead with a serious expression imprinted on his face. His eyes were wavering between his handful of cards in his hand and the layers of card on the dining table they all surrounded.Daniel wriggled his head at Kayode's delay in playing. Although he's been loosing throughout,it was just a game and he wondered why Kayode took it seriously;Perhaps due to the fact Idris had been winning all through or because Kayode was tired of loosing. Either ways,Daniel was beginning to get impatient."Go Gen,Go Gen,Go Gen,Go Gen!..." Daniel and Idris's jaw dropped as Kayode grinned devilishly while he played his tru

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.

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
