Roses aren't always red
Beauty sometimes fades away and
Even gods have an expiry date
But your grace, elegance, and beauty is something to last forever
So I picked the flowers that reminds me of you.
Iris; you know what this flower means after all you are named after it, or would you rather I remind you about how much you take after the goddess who also bears the name.
Delphinium; something to remind you about how much life and happiness you have in you. You spread that energy to everyone around you, my vivacious Mami.
Gladiolus; strength, something displayed in everything you do.
And off course Daisies; cause I am requesting a new beginning from you, my beautiful.

IrisSeeing Nelly didn't feel awkward as I thought it would be. What happened between us, didn't happen everyday or to everyone. It is weird having your best friend who works for you confess that they have feelings for you, but what is even more weird though, is if that friend is of the same sex as you,especially if you are not gay."Ma'am?" Nelly's call wakes me up from my thoughts."Yes.""There is something I didn't say yesterday."What other shocking information could she have for me. I don't even know if my shock absorber can take it anymore."And what would that be?" I inquire."I didn't tell you about the fact that I..."I decide to cut her off, being uncomfortable with the chance that we were in my office, thus may have someone eavesdropping on us."Can't we meet somewhere to discuss it?""It's not something that we can't discuss here.""But I will prefer we do it elsewhere, though if you insi

One week laterENYINNAYAI could tell from the sound of her laughter that she was enjoying the conversation she was having with the dark skinned guy that occupied the seat opposite hers. I try my best to not loose my temper over it, even though I feel extremely furious seeing her enjoy another man's company.What was this? Anger and jealousy over some woman that isn't even mine yet.I Walk quietly taking quick strides towards the table they occupied."Good evening" I greet both as I reach their table, but stretching my hands towards the young man."Good evening to you too. How can I be of help to you?" He asks and I smile.'Get the fuck out of this building, that's how you can help me' I want to say to him, but I don't."If I was you, I won't leave my hand hanging." I warn subtly."And why would that be?" He daringly questions, lifting an eyelid."Because, I am Mr Amadi Enyinnaya."At first he just be

ENYINNAYA"Fuck! Last two weeks Gregory Malik wasn't my boyfriend!" She yells and I am rendered speechless for a while."How?" I ask."We only started dating again four days ago.""Again?" I question having observed her choice of words."He was my ex boyfriend. We just decided to try dating once again.""Why would you say yes to him, when you know I want a chance to be with you?""I can't keep him waiting. I need to go back, we can talk some other time if it's important to you.""No. We have to talk now, tell him we have something to settle and just set another date with him please." I beg."And why would I do that?" She asks ready to throw her usual tantrums, but I don't have the energy to fight her."Please Iris. Please, you can at least do this much for me." I plead again and I guess she sees my sincerity."Fine. I'll go tell him that." She replies and I feel glad about it, but I refuse to trust h

IRISHe pauses, folds his hands on his chest."Miss Iris." He calls"Yes" I respond, my voice barely a whisper.He walks closer and stops again when he is about a feet from me. It's like he is telling me to leave, but I remain glued to the same spot. I don't want to leave.When he sees that I don't move, he moves closer to me, dangerously close and pins my both hands with one of his.My body wanted his, this time there was no denying it."What do you say Miss Iris?" His husky voice questions"what we have is just chemistry." I object"So?" His lips is on my nose as he asks that."I have a boyfriend." I object again.This time it's like I am trying to remind my body that it has an owner, and that owner isn't the man standing before me, but my treacherous body wouldn't listen."Break up with him.""But...." My last objection was cut short as his lips ruthlessly desc

IRISMy phone rings for the umpteenth time, yet I don't get up to pick the call as I already know who the caller is. A notification for a message comes up and I can already guess who the sender is.Gregory Malik.I take my phone from the reading table and open up the message, it reads;Hey babe, what's up?Been trying your number but you ain't picking up.Just wanted to hear your mellifluous voice before I start my day.Do give me a call when you read this dear.Confused, I just decide to ignore the message.I lazily lift myself from my queen sized bed, and throw a large tee shirt over my body that stops just midthigh giving me enough space for easy motion. I stroll idly to my dining room to make myself a cup of coffee.A knock on my sitting room door alerts my otherwise dull senses. I want to call kemi to go check out who is at the door but decide against it. I am curious as to

IRIS"I slept with him again.""Who?" Nelly asks confused."Who else? Mr Amadi off course." I reply and almost burst out laughing seeing the show of shock on her face"What? Where? How! Like when?" She blurts out and I'm forced to smile despite the guilt I'm feeling."Shouldn't you ask one question at a time madam?" I jokingly question her"Fine, let's start with this question. When did it happen?""Last night. And before you ask how, let me just let you know that it just happened.""Wait, you are saying that you slept with Mr Enyinnaya Amadi last night, right?"I nodded in affirmation."Are we still talking about the same Mr Enyinnaya Amadi, your so called enemy? The one who almost stopped you from your inheritance and had you bending to his every will, an experience I know you loath.?""Yes, that same Enyinnaya Amadi."She starts laughing so hard and uncontrollably so."Nelly!"

NELLY"What are you doing here?" I question, just as I let my door open wide, allowing him entrance into my house."I need to talk to you. Please.""What about? I thought I already made it clear that I don't want to see you nor talk to you anymore?"He nods."Yeah, I know. But I really do want to talk to you, can't you give me a chance to do that? Please Nelly."His eyes faced with desperation, sincerity, regret and some other emotions I couldn't fathom so I decide to let him in and listen to what ever it was that he wanted to tell me about.I walk myself away from the door to allow him entrance into my sitting room and he walks in."Stop acting like a stranger and just take a sit, Biko."He sits down obediently like a good child.I take a chair adjacent to the one he is sitting on, making sure to keep a reasonable distance from him, being fully aware that I could be in danger if I got too close to him.It'

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

Enyinnaya'If the plan doesn't work, change the plan, never the goal.' That is one quote I can never forget in a hurry. For me it was more than just a good quote, it was actually a business strategy that has helped me through difficult times in business and now, I intend going by that rule, but this time not in business but in romance.The goal was in this case is to make Iris mine, so if asking her to be my mistress wouldn't work, then perhaps something else would, I just have to change plans and that is exactly what I am going to do.*****"Good afternoon sir" Iris gateman greets me when he is standing by my car door."Good afternoon" I greeted in return."Oga," he begins.

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!! Bitch, a Ferrari fucking portofino!!! Gurl, you rock, and real good too. Damn, that car is as hot as hell. Tell me more about it. I want to know ev

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

Iris"Gurl, are you really pregnant?" Nelly asks me, the minute we get to my car.I laugh, but it's short."I'm not pregnant joor.""Ehen? So why did you lie to him about being pregnant and risk loosing the contract?""He was being unbearably rude. 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." I smile mischievously, as an idea pops up in my head.."And what is this plan? It's ob

IrisThree Weeks LaterThe vibration coming from my phone had me hissing at my phone for interrupting my beautiful sleep. I ignore the phone and return back to sleep, but the continuos ring doesn't give room for that."Who could be calling me this early in the morning?" I grumble, while reluctantly standing up from my bed."Ooh, Nelly!" I grumble, after Checking the caller ID and finding it to be hers. "Why is she calling me this time around eh?" I ask nobody, thus there is no response."Good morning ma." She greets."What do you want?" I don't bother to greet or try to be courteous."Wawuu! Girl what's up? Did I chase after you with a gun in your dream last night?" She's trying to play funny, but I'm not exactly in the mood for that, so I just decided l to bluff her."Abeg say what you want to say joor and say it quick ooo because I need to get back to bed.""Heeee!
