Dealing With Love... Brother/Best friend
Promises are meant to be broken,The ones that who keep theirs, are they Fools?...Promises are meant to be kept,The ones that break them, are they Wise?.© OluwatoyosiPrecious POVWriter's block!That was the only way I could explain my lack of concentration and loss of ideas. I've been rereading the same line of my book for a few minutes and I was getting frustrated. That was why I was sitting on the floor of my living room exasperated. I huffed and stood up to get a snack. The house was empty. Funke had to go out for God knows what and, since I was stuck here, I thought I'd write something but as things were going now, I couldn't even come up with ideas.I got to the kitchen and took four slices of bread and spread butter on them. I grabbed a can of coke from the fridge and went back to the parlor. This was my last day in New York and I thought I'd just stay home. Everyone had come and said their goodbyes but I hadn't seen him at all. Although I was not ready to face him, I th

"Hey Precious dear. How are you?" she hugged me and I hugged her back. "I'm very fine thank you. What about you? You still look so lovely" I gushed."Oh dear, I'm getting old and these kids just keep someone on their toes" she grinned and I smiled. We talked for a bit and she took the kids and left but not before I told her I won't be around for a while. The kids were upset but we managed to get them to smile again.I looked at them as they left. I've always wanted kids, and I still do but I need a man for that. I thought about having it with Ethan. Getting married, a beautiful honeymoon, lovers quarrel, and kids but now, I just don't know, I can't marry someone who doesn't trust me. "You think too much" Joel snapped me out of my reverie making me turn my gaze to him while giving him the best smile I could muster. "Yeah but that's all I do these past few days. I miss him, Jo, so much but I can't be with someone who doesn't trust me. Who doesn't look twice before reprimanding me, w

Leaving doesn't mean one is a coward,Sometimes, it's just good to take a break.© Oluwatoyosi Precious POVI woke up in my fairly cleared-out room. I had fallen asleep packing my things, or at least what I needed. I didn't have it in me to pack everything, as some part of me knew I was going to come back, I just didn't know when. I sighed and threw the covers off me, folding them neatly I kept them in my wardrobe, and now, my bed was bare. I didn't have a pillow because I didn't like using one. Sighing again, I got on my knees and did my morning prayer. Once I was done, I went into the bathroom and washed. I stepped out after my bath and picked out my clothes which consisted of fitted blue jeans with a plain white tee-shirt and wore it. I didn't apply any makeup just powder and lip gloss.I gasped when I looked at the time, it was past noon and our plane leaves at 3 pm. I rushed out of my room barefoot to see Funke steadying her three suitcases by the kitchen counter. I snickered

I was thinking too much I didn't notice Funke plopped on the chair beside me until she hugged me. "I know how you feel. I know you love him and don't want to leave him but I also know you want to think about him so he can teach himself to trust you. If you are strong, the strongest I've ever met. When David broke you, I thought you'd never be the same again, I decided to follow you here so I could keep an eye on you, and now look at who we are. We are the best graduating master's students in a new country. We have lots of opportunities presented to us, you are a fast-rising author, and we make a good team but you and Ethan are something I've never seen before. You both are like now and arrow, coordinated, never doing anything without the other. When I see the way you both look at each other I'm reminded that there is nothing love cannot conquer and knowing you made me want to strive hard to be the best for Joel. I don't know about the route you want to take but I know God will lead yo

There's no place like home,It's where the heart is,There's nothing like family,It's where the home is... Precious POV We finally landed at the Murtala Mohammed airport in Lagos after almost ten hours of flying and unlike Funke who slept almost through the flight, I was awake for most of the flight sleeping for only 3hrs. Since it was just us on the plane, I had enough time to catch up on novels that I had put off reading for a while. Anything to keep my mind off Ethan, for now, was what I planned on doing. It was past 6 pm when the nice pilot and stewardess helped us get our bags. We took our bags and walked to the arrival sign, all the while, Funke kept struggling with her three suitcases and I laughed at her misery. We got outside the airport and waited for the Ubers that we asked our friend Anjola to book for us. We looked around until we saw two men holding placards with our names on them. "See them, let's go," I told Funke and we walked towards them. When we got to their

Precious POVUnlike most Yoruba parents who were very strict with their kids, my parents were lively, funny, and disciplined, yes but they interacted with us as though we were friends.Growing up, they instilled in us discipline but more maturely, we were allowed to go anywhere we wanted and have what they called, street sense, so that way we wouldn't want to disappoint them."What about your boyfriend, Ethan?" my smile vanished. It was my dad that asked. My parents believed in freedom, so when I was never scared to tell them I had a boyfriend."We are taking a break. We had an argument that I don't want to talk about" they nodded in understanding.I loved my parents when it came to the point where we don't want to talk, they gave us space and privacy because they trusted us. I remembered the time I did something wrong; I had told them I wasn't going out that day and I did. Let's just say, they gave me an earful but the worst was when they said they were disappointed in me. I felt li

Love is like the sun,It lightens the heart...©OluwatoyosiPrecious POV"Of course, I would be delighted to write for you," I said my voice thick with excitement."That's great, I will email you the details for the project" Miss Dana replied with equal excitement and hung up.I stood from my seat and jumped up and down like a child. I was super excited to be writing for one of the most renowned publishing companies in Nigeria. My novel wasn't only read in New York but extended to Nigeria as well. Ever since I came back home two months ago, I had been getting offers from writing firms and even Agro-allied industries as a food processor and project manager.I had chosen to take the food processing job as my day job and the writing work as a side job since I only wrote from home. It was better that way but I was tired and in need of a break.Don't get me wrong, I loved my job because I loved what I do but it was tiring sometimes when it came to listening to ideas for write-ups and consu

Precious POV Wait, he was here? That thought snapped me out completely like a bucket of water and I pulled away quickly but still enough to see the hurt that flashed through his eyes. "How are you here? How did you know where I live?" I fired the questions at him. My body was excited and nervous that he was there. Why was I nervous? Granted he hurt me, but I have never gotten the image of him out of my head. "What no hello? How are you?" he playfully smiled and I just glared at him making him gulp. He had a playful side to him that I had missed so much. His ability to either lighten or darken the mood always made me intrigued by him. "You know what I mean Ethan, what are you doing here?" I asked in an indifferent tone. As much as I knew that I was the one hurt, I was happy he was here, and that pissed me off. "Can we go somewhere to talk?" he asked quietly looking around and I noticed that we had managed to pull a crowd. I chuckled at people’s reactions. It was not every da

Dealing With Love... Onesies for Daddy
"To the mall!" I told the driver excitedly. He drove us there, and I quickly got out, rushing to the kids’ section while dragging Funke, who was laughing at my excited face.I bought a small onesie that said "I love Daddy," paid for it, and went to the grocery store. I bought all the ingredients needed to make our favorite food, paid, and left. I checked the time, and it was past 4 p.m., so I decided to go straight home so I could cook."Will you come with me?" I asked Funke, and she shook her head."No, I have something to do in the office; besides, this is something you need to do yourself. I'm happy for you, babe," she hugged me again, and we dropped her off at the office before I left for home.We pulled up at the house. Ethan had surprised me again with this house; he said he wanted us to have a huge family, so he built a mansion with 8 rooms, one for each of our six kids, even though I protested. The house was homely because his mother designed it with my mother. It had an enorm

Being together is greatGrowing old together is amazing,Having a family is betterTaking care of the family is everything.© OluwatoyosiPrecious POV.It's been two months since we got back from our honeymoon. It has been amazing waking up to my husband and going to bed with him."So, what are we going to do about the shipment?" Daphne, my assistant, snapped me out of my daydreaming about my husband."Send it to everyone that ordered," she nodded."You have a meeting by 4 p.m. with Candler Inc." I nodded, not being able to speak because I felt sick in my stomach. I rushed to the bathroom to throw up. I had been throwing up since morning, not to mention the way I've been feeling sick these past few weeks, when we came home. Daphne rushed to my side, holding up my hair and rubbing my back."You need to see the doctor, ma'am. You've been sick the whole week," she said sharply, since I've been denying going to the doctor."It's just the flu. Don't worry," I said, waving it off."It's not
Dealing With Love... Honeymoon (Part two)
We were about to enter the cart when I saw the little boy who gave me a coin helping out his mother in a food stand. He was wearing worn out clothes and I immediately felt bad for him. I pulled Ethan with me and walked towards them. The little boy smiled at me making his entire chocolate eyes sparkle. "Two tacos please," I told the woman who looked so tired while she placed the tacos. She handed it over to me."5euro," the woman said in a tired voice and I took out a hundred and gave it to her."You can keep the change," I said immediately and her eyes widened. I had my assistant change some money into Euro for me last night. "Thank you so much" the woman held my hand with tears in her eyes and I smiled at her. I bent down to the little boy’s level and brought out a fifty and handed it to him despite his protest."Thank you for your coin" I whispered softly making his eyes widen. I ruffled his long brown hair and took Ethan's hand in mine."Have I ever told you how amazing you are?"

I can show you the worldI can make you smileIt's a promise, my loveFrom me to you. © Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I woke up first to see Ethan still sleeping peacefully. His thick black hair was rumpled, his head was once again on my bare chest with his hands wrapped around me. He looked like a hot mess. I moved his hands gently so I could stand up. Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I wrapped the second duvet around my body and went to press the button and ordered breakfast silently. I was on my honeymoon in Rome, staying in a suit, I was going to enjoy it and even though there was a stocked up kitchen, I didn't feel like cooking. I moved carefully to the bathroom to pee. I brushed my teeth, had a hot shower, and came out wearing a white silk bathrobe when I heard the knock. I rushed to the door careful not to wake him and collected the tray of food from the bellman, tipping him from my purse, he thanked me and left. I sat down by the bed with the tray on my lap and gently removed hi

"Hmm... I really think I would love to get used to this" I whispered softly. "Good morning Ífé mi" I blushed at his endearment, letting a yawn escape my lips. "Good morning indeed, babe," I said back making him smile wildly. I don’t think I would get tired of his smile. It simply made his beautiful blue eyes sparkle. "Let's go shower," I let out a squeal as he carried me from the soft bed in the private plane. I should have expected he had other plans, and so after the rough love making, I was really sore. He placed me down with him behind me, switching on the shower he helped me bath. Once we were done, we stepped out and we got dressed when we heard the pilot telling us to take our seats sinc

I am yoursYou are mineIn every sense,In every way...©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVOkay, I was already thinking something was up cause we weren't heading to the airport, instead we were driving to a place I'd never been to but I was sure it was still Lagos."Ethan where are we going?" I asked curiously."It's a surprise" he smirked and I glared at him. I wanted to know now."Fine," I huffed angrily, folding my hands on my chest."Don't be like that love, we'll be here soon. I have a lot to do tonight," he purred seductively kissing me then nibbling my earlobe causing me to moan. I slapped my hand on my mouth. I didn't want the driver to hear me. He kept kissing my exposed neck and switching to my lips simultaneously. I didn't notice we had stopped."We're here," he said with a full blown smile. The door opened making me jump away from Ethan. He pulled me out to see a house. A big beautiful house that could easily be recognized as a mansion stood before me. "Ethan, why am I looking at
Dealing With Love... The Wedding (Part three)
"I wasn't prepared to get slapped by a short fierce black girl, so if someone had told me I would be marrying a Nigerian girl then I would have laughed in the person's face. I wasn't prepared to meet you. You came like a light in my dark busy world, you came with your playfulness, your seriousness, your activeness, your fierceness, your Independence, but I love it all. You are my queen, the person who gives me peace, the person who gives me a reason to work harder and faster, the person who gives me a reason to love, the person who gives me a reason to keep going. I know I don't say it a lot but I love you, you are the person I want to wake up to, the person I want to live with, the person I want to see every night. You always told me God puts people in our lives for a reason, well you are my reason. I promise you today before man and God that I will love you, cherish you, take care of you, spoil you, be with you, and stick with you for the rest of our lives. I love you to the infinit
Dealing With Love... The Wedding (Part two)
Here I stood, behind the giant doors to the church in all my nervousness."You look beautiful," I jumped at my dad's sudden voice but smiled either way."Thank you daddy. I'm so nervous," I admitted, because if there's anyone who could make my nerves go, it was my dad."You can get out now,"Woah, that wasn't what I expected."But think about how you will feel. Is it worth it with him? Will you be happy with him? You need to be selfish right now and consider yourself. Are you doing this for him or are you doing it for you?, Is he the one you want to wake up next to every day of your life?, Is he the person you want to have children with?, Is he the one you want God to join you to? These questions can only be answered by you. If you can't then you still have time to get out. But I want you to know that I'm proud of you no matter your decision" I thought about it.Ethan was the only one who made me feel peaceful apart from God. He was the person I wanted to see every day of every minute

I have thought about this day.I have waited for this day. Now it's finally here.It's my wedding day.I was standing in front of my mirror fixing my red tie as I kept thinking of my vows. I had suggested that we write our own vows and here I am, stuck, because there are so many things I want to say."You are going to make a hole in that mirror if you keep glaring at it. Aren't wedding days supposed to be happy days?" my dad's voice brought me back to reality, I hadn't noticed I was glaring at the mirror and made my hand get stuck in the tie. I sighed and looked at my dad. Maybe he could help me."I'm stuck dad. I was the one who suggested we write our own vows and now, I can't seem to make up my mind," I confessed and rubbed my temples while my dad laughed. The old man freaking laughed. I stared at
