"How long have you been fucking Iris, your so called boss?" I asked, angry yet anxious as I waited for her response. It took a few seconds before she understood what I had asked her, and her first response didn't serve me any purpose.
"What do you mean by that, Chike?"
"Heck! I spoke English Nelly, not some strange Language!"
"Chikeeeee!!!" She screamed, threw her bag on the floor and ran head first to where I stood, holding me by my collar she continued " what is wrong with you? Are you sworn to make me hate you forever or what? What is this insane question about?"
I shook off her both hands that were on my collar, drew her up by her slender shoulders, such that her eyes were at the same level as mine, then I continued our conversation, more like altercation.
"Let me rephrase my question. Nelly Okafor, for how long have you been having an affair with the lady you call your boss?"

IRIS"Welcome back. So what next?" I asked Enyinnaya, the minute he returned from his business meeting that Sunday evening."We pack our properties in preparation for tomorrow's journey." He said, while expertly undressing himself. It was an innocent activity, but it's effects on me was not so innocent."And?" I asked again."It's obvious you are dressed for bed, so I just have to take my bath and then we sleep. Or you can just go ahead and sleep without me.""Really? Is that all the activity you have planned for the night, Mr Amadi Enyinnaya?" I questioned, as I got up from the bed. At this time, he was only dressed in his singlet and briefs. He looked so daringly sexy, the kind of sexiness reserved for immortals."What else would there be?" He questioned, seemingly oblivious to my intentions. It made my stomach flutter, and I briefly wondered. How can someone so schooled in the art of seduction, not know when he was being seduced? I laughed.

IRIS"Dance with me." Enyinnaya commands, stretching out his arm to take mine. I raised my head just so I could get a good look at his face. His intense dark eyes seem calm and their calm darkness provides me with a kind of calm only the dark provides. Now he's turning me into a poet. I thought and almost smiled but stopped myself. Someone could write a whole book of poetry about Enyinnaya's look, he was that good looking, and he was standing before me, ready to be my man, for just this night, though, I'm hoping a night would be enough to quench my wanton desires for him.Lucky you, Iris, lucky you.He looks at me for a while before going to the fridge. He pulls out a bottle of champagne and two wine glasses, before filling the glasses with the champagne. He offers me a glass and I take it, we make a toast, before sipping from the wine."Mr Amadi, are you trying to turn me into a champagne person?" I asked jokingly."I would if I could, but you are quite a handful, a very stubborn

NELLYAren't Sunday supposed to be as bright as the sun? Isn't it's night expected to be filled with beautiful stars? Then tell me, why am I sitting alone on the couch in my living room, surrounded by empty bottles of cheap beer. Tell me, why does my heart feel like it has been stabbed a million times and my eyes too heavy for me to open?Getting over Alexander was very difficult. I had cried each time I remembered him, and trust me, I always did, so you can imagine how often I cried. I had even starved myself on some days and my job was a mess. It took only a kind hearted boss like Iris for me not to get fired from work.Truth be told, I never did get over him at all, until Chike came and got a place in my life. His presence in my life had somehow helped me to go through the healing process successfully and now this. I didn't know how I was going to get over Chike, off course getting another man was completely off the table, as that for me was a bigger problem

NELLY"Here we are." Chiamaka says as soon as we reach inside the building of cubana club house."Gurl" she continues " just because I'm acting like I'm cool with us going in like this doesn't mean I really am, hope you know that?'"How was I supposed to respond, when I had no idea what she was on about. "Chi, what is this about?" I ask."You really don't know? I'm talking about your mood. You've not said anything since you got in my car, and that is very much unlike you, so, I'm really worried."" Oh that. Abeg, I already told you that I am fine, and I really am. There is actually nothing wrong with me. So you have nothing to worry about." I finished, hoping she would give up on trying to get words out of my mouth. But, obstinate Chiamaka wouldn't just give up."No, that wasn't what you told me. You didn't deny having problems, you just said that you weren't ready to discuss it with me yet. So, madam, are you ready to talk

NELLY"Nelly meet my boss, Mr Alexander Echi."I freeze instantly as I hear that name. There was only one Alexander Echi I knew and that was my ex best friend and ex boyfriend as well. Or could there be another? I question in my mind.I raise my head to see who the Alexander Echi being introduced to me is, and the face that greets me is the same face I thought I would never have to see again. It was the face that tormented me for months before Chike came to my rescue; my ex boyfriend, Alexander Echi."Mr Echi, meet Nelly Okafor my friend, and companion for the night." Chiamaka continues with her introduction, oblivious to what was transpiring between me and Alex.Behave yourself Nelly Okafor. Don't act like he still affects you. I say this to myself before stretching out my arm to shake his already out stretched one."It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Okafor" Alexander says, trying to conceal the fact that we know each other, but I didn't wa

IRISMonday morning had me and Enyinnaya preparing to return back to Nigeria.The night before it had been quite sensational and even more rigorously so, with me, having to constantly remind my heart that it's not supposed to catch feelings, or feel something for Enyinnaya and, also having to remind my body that it must not get used to his touch.Enyinnaya, who didn't seem to have even the smallest idea about my emotional battle, made my war even more difficult with his good loving.I knew he was good in bed since he was the best lay I ever had however, time seemed to have added to his skill making him even better than before. While we loved up, I noticed he paid attention to my body like it was some course of study he needed to write an exam on. He knew where to touch to exert response from me, he made love to me like he knew my body too well, even more than I did. If I wasn't so busy dreaming about the night before while folding my clothes,

NELLYWas there a worse way to start a Monday?Had to breakup on Saturday, met an annoying ex on Sunday, and then discover your close friend is nothing but a lieing little traitor.What's more?You decide to go to work just to clear your head, but, you remember there is absolutely nothing for you to do since, your boss who went on a business trip ask that you do nothing at work until, she returns from her journey, so you are stuck at home, with a broken heart to nurse and damaged relationships and friendship to heal from.Life sulks. At least, for me, it does.This wasn't how I wanted to start a new week, but I found myself here anyway, and the only thing I can do is to handle it one at a time.The beep coming from my phone wakes me up from my reverie.

ENYINNAYAMiguel's sure thing is playing from the music player of my car."Iris, wait." I try to stop her from going into her house, when we reach her gate. "We need to talk""But we are talking now, aren't we?"You know what I mean Iris, don't act like you don't know.""But I really don't know." She replies and I feel awkward about how to let her know what I want from her. It's never so difficult to voice my opinion or thoughts about something but I can't hide the fact that I am having difficulties now."Tim, Swift, excuse us" I address my driver and the guard present with me."Yes sir." They reply in unison and make to leave, but Iris stops them.""There is no need for you both to leave." She turns to face me "You are already at my place, if you want to talk privately with me just come in and don't inconvenience others around us."My driver and Swift look at me as if seeking for confirmation f

Two weeks later Iris If anyone had told me making preparations for a wedding would be this chaotic, I would have totally disagreed with them, but not anymore, and the most annoying thing about the whole situation was that Greg and I already hired the service of a wedding planner but it didn't look like it. It felt like everyone was out for my neck; the wedding planner and her employees, my fashion designer, make up artists, hair stylist, Greg's family and off course Nelly and Alyssia. The only person that did not add to the chaos was Zinnia, my half sister, well not entirely so, cause I had been disappointed to know only few days ago that she had not returned to Greece as we had previously thought but had been living a quiet life in Abuja for reasons I still don't know. "I honestly think you should go with the nude colour, red feels too sharp against your dark skin." Okay, scrap all I said about Zinnia not adding to the chaotic state of my wedding pla

NELLY To be honest, I got furious when I heard what Enyinnaya said to Iris. It hurt that the one person she was bold enough to tell her feelings could not appreciate her for it let's alone reciprocate it. My reactions to the situation wasn't called for but I had acted out of impulse and I most certainly will not start regretting it now.I watch as Iris tries her best to hold back her tears. To say I'm not surprised by her actions, would be a deliberate lie.I settle down beside her, take her both hands in mine and gently squeeze them. "You know you don't have to cry over that jerk, right?" She nods. "I really didn't want to let my feelings go this far, but somehow it did and every time I see my stomach, I am reminded of him. It's bad enough that I am in love with someone who can never love me back, but what is worse is that I am carrying his child." "So you don't plan to take out the baby anymore?" I am silently praying for her to say ye

IRIS"This one that you invited me to your house, what happened?" Nelly asks, after making herself comfortable on a sofa, in my sitting room."A lot happened. A fucking whole lot." I utter without a pause in between my words."Hmm." She frowns for a while and continues. "This lot that you are talking about, I hope it's something good, because I'm tired of hearing bad news already.""Bad news? From who? About what." Her choice of words draws my attention so I curiously question them."Before I begin talking to you about that news, first tell me about that very fine and expensive car I saw in your car park. It's yours right?" She questions me, gleefully.I nod in response."Heyyyyy!!!" She exclaims and jumps up from the chair she had been sitting down on. "Babe! That is a Ferrari portofino!!

IRIS"Babe are you ready now?" Gregory ask me while he tries to keep himself busy with the magazine on my puff in my sitting room."I will be in a minute." I yell out in response to him, from my bedroom.For the past one month we had been together, Gregory Malik had been nothing but loving and affectionate towards me. He had proven Nelly wrong and even she was beginning to like the idea of me being in a relationship with Gregory. I was really enjoying this alter ego, and one beautiful thing about this new side of him was the fact that he was completely selfless and quite obsessed with me. He had gone ahead to involve himself in everything regarding my life including my business too, and though initially I had felt it was an invasion of my private space but I soon came to the realization that if I had plans of being together with Gregory for a long time, then I had to learn how to accommodate him in not just my heart but also my life."How do I look?"

ENYINNAYAA lot of questions run through my mind as I sit in my office, with my iPod in my ear, Omah Lay's Bad influence sounds directly into my ears, while I keep staring at the picture of the lady that is my screen saver; Iris Adelana.She is dressed in a white bum short and a bikini bra. Her long, full hair that is left unpacked forms an afro on her head, giving her diamond shaped face, a fullness. Her black skin glowed with the wetness of the beach water on her skin and, an added effect from the sun of that afternoon. Her long, legs ended in foots that were bare of any foot wear except the beach sand on which they stood. She exuded innocence, femininity and strength in one picture, she was no doubt a siren, and I am the victim; the one who she had trapped in her spell."Iris Adelana, what are you doing to me? even now." I mutter, lost in my thoughts of her. Everything with her was like an unadulterated magic, her smile was pure and even if she tried to hide

I would have struck that his big mouth with a slap, but managed to hold back because I don't want the media to have a field day off my personal life.""But you know we need that contract na, you have a goal remember?""Well, you are not wrong. We need that contract, but longtech needs this partnership more and I'm sure they will not be foolish enough to let this opportunity go.""Well, from what I saw, Mr Folarin is definitely foolish. So?""Calm down, I have a plan, even if Mr Folarin is foolish to let this go, I'm not stupid enough to just sit back and do nothing to stop him."
