DAMI.
She's Everything. She's so damn beautiful. It made me realise how much of a Fool I've been and now I'm determined to make things right. I'm determined to make her mine for real this time.Dera hasn't completely opened up to me. Sometimes I ask her about her personal life and she looks hesitant but she eventually answers. I don't think she realises she's her own person and if she's not ready to open up then she shouldn't. While preparing to go visit The Olumide family, I asked her about her Cousins. If they had contacted her but she tensed up immediately and kept stumbling over her words. I had to make her calm down and assure her that she didn't need to talk about them. I still can't believe that after the shit I put her through. After years of Verbal abuse and neglect from me she still gave me a chance. I actually thought that was it last night. I thought she was going to walk out the door and out of my life. I didn't tell her thDERA. Dami seemed Happy and I was glad that he made up with Seun. The pair seemed Happy. Dami and I left when His Parents, my in laws. Showed up. I haven't had the chance to talk to Mrs Adelaide since the night of her Anniversary party. She pulled me to a corner and I had to assure her over and over that Dami and I are fine and that We were fixing things. She seemed to believe me but she didn't let us leave without pulling Dami's ear and scolding him. Her exact words were;"Omo mi, if you hurt my daughter again. Or she reports you to me that you shouted at her. God help me because I will kill you." She warns in Yoruba pulling his ear and I tried real hard not to laugh. "You hear me so?" She asked and he nods."Yes Mummy." He lets out in a strained voice. Like I said before, when it comes to his Mother. Dami is completely helpless. We made a stop at Labule Restaurant and Dami got us Semovita and Egusi soup. And
DAMI. I watched as she eagerly skipped towards the Cold stone and Dominos joined building. Her big long braids bounced on her ass as she walked. It's funny to think that a few minutes ago she practically cried at the salon when she was getting her hair braided. It was somewhat funny but I didn't dare laugh instead I consoled her by promising her everything sweet. I held her hand and kept her busy until they were done with her hair. I trailed closely behind her shamelessly checking her out. She was dressed simply In faded blue jean shorts and a T-shirt, my T-shirt that I forced her to wear even though she complained it was too big. I've always imagined how she'd look in clothes and now I know she looks great. My Shirt swallowed her whole and anyone else would think she had nothing underneath but she pulled the back of the shirt up to rest above her ass.Damn. That Ass.
DERA. "Mummy!"Once I get to My in-laws house. I call out for Mrs Adelaide, honestly she was the only one I wanted to talk to at the moment. "Stay here Sweetie." I tell the kid and he obediently sits on the Couch dropping his Ben 10 backpack that seemed new on the floor. Before I head upstairs, I decide to change the channel to Cartoon network coincidentally Ben 10 was showing. I watch a small smile appear on the Kids face. I found myself just staring at him. I honestly don't know why I chose to bring him along. Maybe it was because his Mother abandoned him with complete strangers. I really didn't expect him to come with me, He probably thought I was taking him back to his Mother.Letting out a sigh, I turn towards the stairs only to find Tofunmi and Seyifunmi making their way downstairs. I tense up when my eyes land on Tofunmi. She looked the same, since I last saw her a year ag
DERA. His name left my mouth as I look past Tofunmi to find a dishevelled Dami standing few feets away from us watching me intently. The girls follow my gaze until both their eyes land on Dami."Before you answer, I just want to tell you something." He starts to say closing the distance between us."I messed up. I always mess up. I already ended things with all of those other girls a long time ago and I'm being honest when I say I haven't been with any other Woman since the day you found Eniola in my office."I cringe at the memory."I only went on that trip with Eniola because she just showed up that morning claiming I had promised to take her with me." He was now in front of me staring down at me."I didn't break my promise, I didn't play you. I could never. Seun did tell me the other day to tell you all of the truth but when she walked over to me with those rare beauti
DERA. "Hey you." I say softly walking into his office. Dami looks up at me, a broad smile immediately appearing on his face. He leaves what he was busy doing on his MacBook now fixing his attention on me. For the past weeks, it's been like this for Dami and I. We enrolled Damola in a new school so the driver took him to school in the mornings and picked him up from school. Most times I go with the Driver to pick him up from school. We normally leave the house early so I could make a quick stop at Dami's office. Dropping lunch for him and also spend a little extra time with him.I used to think Damola was a very quiet boy and he didn't like to talk too much because he was still getting used to the sudden changes which is partly true but the kid refuses to talk to Dami Which was really strange. He talks to me alot and that's because I have enough time for him. In fact, I've gotten so used to him that the kid has me w
DERA. "Mummy!"Hearing that made my day and took away all the negativity I felt and threw it out the window. I bent my knees forward waiting for the little boy to run into my arms. I so wasn't ready for the force he used to run into my arms because it sent me off balance landing on my butt. I chose the wrong day to wear white pants."I missed you too Sweetheart." I tell Damola showering him with kisses. The kid giggles and decides to go on and on about his new friend. Who apparently is a girl. His first girl friend. "And what's her name Sweetie?""TiaraOluwa." He tells me grinning widely. He went on to tell me how his lunch poured all over the class floor and she shared hers with him. I found that really adorable."You need any help?" A masculine voice reaches my ears and I stare up at the tall male figure."Yes please." I tell them and
DAMI. For what feels like the first time in forever, I finally have Dera all to myself for the weekend since Damola was spending the next two days with his mother. Which wasn't part of the plan since Trisha claimed to be busy for the weekend but we both knew that was code for spending time with Seun. Apparently, He was giving her a second chance. I barely got to actually spend time with Chidera which is what I've been craving. I even gave the workers the weekend off just so we wouldn't have any disturbance. I didn't have anything special planned for the weekend, I just wanted to spend time with Dera and though I see her everyday, it still isn't enough and I admit I miss her. I'm not even ashamed to tell her how I miss her.Though she says I'm being ridiculous I can tell she misses me. I don't know what I was thinking trying to impress Dera by making breakfast for her because now the
DERA.Dami ended up taking me to the movies to see a horror film After our very long bath. I'm not a fan of horror Movies and I do get scared easily so I don't know why I even agreed to think. Maybe because I'm helpless when it comes to His mesmerising brown eyes. "The curse of La llorona." He reads. "Sounds fun, right? Or maybe we should see The Nun." He says like my opinion mattered. I only shrug digging my hands into my bag fishing out my phone when it starts ringing. I see it's Seyifunmi FaceTiming me so I put on my ear buds answering the call and moving to a more secreted area."Hey Bitch that forgot me because she's busy being a whore for her husband." She says and I chuckle."Hey yourself." I take in her appearance and it looked like she was hugging the bed sheets to her chest."Ashawo. You're in a man's house. Abi?" I tease and she doesn't hide her smile."You're calling me Ashawo when you're the one half naked on
DAMI. Dera hadn’t come out of her room in hours. I had to call Seyi, Trisha and Seun to come over. I don’t know what I was expecting but I thought they could help someway. I explained everything to them and pleaded with Dera from the other side of the door but she didn’t say a word. It’s almost 11pm and I haven’t gotten a reply from her. At this point I was beyond scared of what she could be doing.“I should go up and check on her.” I suggest staring at the stairs.“Relax jor. I think we should just give her space. Banging on the door and yelling won’t get you anywhere.” Seun says surfing through the channels. Trisha was fast asleep on the couch with her head on Seun’s lap. I was getting the feeling they were sleeping together. Seyifunmi left few minutes ago, even while she was here she wasn’t much help because she kept reminding me I was stupid, I made mistake and I
DAMI. Rita had arrived on time but Dera was yet to come out of the bathroom and I was beginning to wonder if she was actually having her bath or packing her things to leave me.“Why did you even tell your wife?” Rita asked and I don’t spare her a glance as I’m staring at the staircase expectantly.“I couldn’t lie to her. She would have known.” I say.“If you’re that scared to lose her, why cheat in the first place.”“Trust me I haven’t regretted anything more in my life.” I get up on my feet already impatient. I decide to go check up on her. “Stay here and don’t touch anything.” I order before hurrying up the stairs to Dera’s room. I knock on the door but no one answers so I let myself in. I find Dera by her dresser just staring at herself in the mirror.“I’m scared of the truth.&
DERA. “What’s wrong?” I asked when I hear him curse continuously. I turn around to face him.“I didn’t use protection. I totally forgot. Fuck!” He exclaimed as he starts to fix himself up.I was taken aback by his exclamation but tried to hide my smile. “How is it you only remember that now.”He frowns. “You’re ok with it?”“Seyi put me on contraceptives ‘bout a week ago.” I inform him and he sighs in relief. “Are you scared of getting me pregnant?” I asked adjusting my nightgown to cover my ass.“I just got you to myself. I don’t want to share just yet. Besides, we have Damola.” He tells me as he fixes his tux.I nod. He didn’t say it but from what he just told me, I was getting the idea that he didn’t want any more children. After all, he has his heir. “You should get going
DAMI. The alarm went off pulling me out of my slumber. Memories of last night flooded my head and I fought back the smiles that reach my lips. It finally registered that I had to go to work today as I had an important meeting with the shareholders. This meeting was initially for Monday which was the day after Dera’s birthday but there was no way I would leave her alone after what she went through. So rescheduled it for Tuesday but then I freaked out when I couldn’t find Dera that morning then the whole rape scandal came up and I rescheduled again so here we are. I smiled when I realized Dera was so thoughtful to set the alarm for me though I would have preferred it, if
DERA. I must have cried myself to sleep because when I woke I’m lying on the cold tiled floor and my phone is ringing nonstop from somewhere in the living room. I find it underneath one of the couch pillows and I see thirteen missed call from Seyifunmi. Just when I’m about to call her back, I get an incoming message from her.I know you’re angry and upset that’s why you’re not picking up any of my calls but I need you to go online now and watch Dami live. I read the message a second time just to be sure I read it well. I decide to go online on Instagram and I indeed find that Dami is live so I decide to join.“-My Wife and I had a fight and I don’t expect her to be watching this
DERA. I woke up early enough to get away from the house before Dami woke up. I admit that since my birthday party I’ve been edgy and Dami hasn’t failed to notice since I’ve been drifting away from him again. I probably looked crazy standing by the shore in nothing but a pajama similar to my SpongeBob pajamas but was plain and pink. My initial plan was to have Tami drive me around since I had nowhere in particular to go, I just wanted to be alone and the beach is the best place to clear one’s head. Since the incident Dami hasn’t left me alone for a minute, he had become super protective of me and even missed work for just to stay in bed with me. We
“My Chidera. Look at you, all grown up.” Her Aunt says almost like she couldn’t believe it. Dera turns to me completely speechless. She must be in shock that she can’t even comprehend that her family is actually here.“Dami…” She starts to say and I take in her glassy eyes like she was going to cry. “Dami…” I let her walk into my arms.“You don’t have to say anything Love. I’m just glad I made you Happy. I’m glad got to see that Beautiful smile. So don’t cry or you’ll ruin your Make-up.”“Dami we should start going. The guests are waiting.” Mama tells me and I nod. She rubs Dera’s back. I wish you a long and prosperous life filled with Joy, Happiness and all things good. God bless you my daughter.”
DEDERA I woke up to the blaring of my ringtone, groaning I roll over Dami to grab my phone from the nightstand. I wince at the brightness of the screen squinting my eyes, I see that it’s Trisha calling making me perk up. I start to wonder if Damola was alright.“Hello?” I say urgently into the speaker.“Happy Birthday Mummy!” Damola’s tiny but loud voice reaches my ears making me wince letting out a chuckle. My heart swells that the little boy remembered my birthday. Dami groans from beside me and I turn to him.“Is that my boy?” Dami asked
