Where did that come from? Get it together, Ife. "Ife will you come for my sister's wedding on Saturday," Mercy asked, snapping me out of my daze. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts before returning to our conversation. "Babe, I can't. My convocation is on Friday and I leave on Thursday to be back on Saturday afternoon." I explained and her face fell but she quickly brightened, flashing her eyes at Ethan, and I wanted to slap her face away from him. "Yeah, come for the reception. Omolola wants to see you" I sighed, I knew she was lying, she just wanted me to bring Ethan. "I'll get her there," Ethan, who had been sitting there listening to the conversation, suddenly slipped in. He suddenly stood up to hold my waist and I gave him a curious glare. What was he playing at? "Thank you, járé brother," she said in her Yoruba accent as she touched Ethan's hands. C’mon, girl we were in church and you were flirting. "No problem," Ethan said firmly, pulling me away from her. We
P.S This chapter is a bit long, so sorry in advance. What you don't know,Can't hurt you...What you do know,Can change you.© Oluwatoyosi Ethan's POV I drove for about 2hours but finally pulled up at the gigantic building. I turned and looked at Ife, she had woken up 30mins when she first slept but I told her we hadn't gotten there yet, so she picked up her phone and was reading I think a book called The Alchemist, which was what she called it, and went right back to sleep. She looked so peaceful and still so beautiful; she still had the power to knock me out of breath anytime I saw her. I leaned in and caressed the side of her hair, she relaxed and moaned, and I smiled knowing I still affected her. I wish we could stay like this for a while, peaceful, without having to eventually see the look of dislike for me in her eyes. I could tell she tried to make it subtle but I always got it and it pained the hell out of me. I wished, I wanted to turn back the hands of time and go ba
A friend stays,No matter what...A true friend's advice,Is it more than worth it?©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVI woke up early due to my alarm blaring in my ears. Groaning, I switched it off and stood from my bed to have my morning prayers.I hated Mondays. I had to get to work before 8 am and it was 5:30 am. After my prayers, I entered my bathroom to have my bath. I finished in under 10 minutes and picked out my outfit which consisted of black jeans with a long sleeve black top and my white canvas.I dried off my body and put on some lotion, then I wore my clothes and tucked in the top. Finishing it up with a black belt, I added some powder to my face and lip gloss to my lips before moving to put on my silver stud and long silver cross necklace.I quickly called an Uber to take me to work before proceeding to wear my shoes and put on my wristwatch. I put my phone and purse into my small bag and placed my lab coat on my arm. Satisfied with my appearance, I left my room and went into my
Precious POV Roses are red violets are blue,The world evaporates,when I'm with you. I wanted to get the whole pot of flowers but I didn't think you would be able to carry them home. I miss you and love you so much Ethan xx I smiled at the card like a child who had been taken to the amusement park. This was beautiful but how did he get it to enter the factory? I shrugged, he was a multi-billionaire, and his money could buy this factory. I placed the bouquet into a glass and put water in it then kept it by my table. I opened the box next and my jaw dropped at my favorite chocolates looking delicious. This chocolate was so expensive and I grinned so hard as I put it in my mouth, savoring the taste. I was interrupted from satisfying my taste buds for a little longer when my cabin door opened to reveal the clients I had been waiting for. I composed myself. "Please have your seats and let's get started" I gestured for the two men to sit down. I was finally done with my work for
Pain knocks on my door and says, I've come again... Open up,But freedom enters the house and says,Take my hand... Give me a chance.©OluwatoyosiPrecious POV “Let me see you (go low low low low) let me see you (go low low low low low). Buga wọn(Lemme). Buga wọn"Funke, Arewa, and I sang along to Kizz Daniel and Tecno’s song ‘Buga’ playing from the radio in Arewa's car as he drove us to Abeokuta for our convocation.We all studied at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and finished very well. We had decided to stay in my family house here in Abeokuta near the school so we could be early for the convocation because the road would be blocked with traffic."Óyá, we are in Abeokuta, let's go and enjoy ourselves before tomorrow. It's still early" Arewa suggested, and I grinned. I checked the time and saw that it was still 1 pm, which meant we had enough time to go wherever we wanted to."Let's go to Obasanjo's library," I clapped my hands in excitement.Obasanjo's
Man can betray,We can go astray...Mistakes are what make us human,But forgiveness is what changes the plan.©Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I woke up to the sound of the door banging. Groaning, I put my pillow over my head. Where were Funke and Arewa when you needed them? The banging continued and my sleep was cut short. Standing grumpily from my bed, I walked to the door and yanked it open, ready to shout at the person. My words got stuck in my throat as I stared at my angry-looking parents. I gulped and opened the door wide for them to enter. "We've been knocking since, what were you doing?" my mum's words were sharp. "Sorry ma, I was still sleeping. I thought those two children would open it." I said in a sorry tone. I was angry at Funke and Arewa. My parents entered the house with one suitcase, and I was sure it held their clothes. I didn't know how many days they would stay, but I was leaving tomorrow. "Isn't your convocation ceremony by 10 am, it's already 7:30 am. Do you kn
Ethan rushed up to me and held my hands tightly in his. He was here. I was not daydreaming. He seemed shocked and grateful, but why? "You replied to my text," he whispered. I was fully aware of some stares but I kept my gaze on the beautiful man in front of me. "Who is that fine man?" I heard a voice from the crowd but I didn't care. "Did you not want me to?" I replied. My heart sank. Did he give up on me? No, he couldn't, I was about to take him back. "No no no, that's not it. I was just stunned," he answered with a frantic shake of his head and a smile. "Was I that bad?" I asked with a raised brow. I was beginning to get angry with myself. He was surprised by the fact that I texted back. I felt awful. "No, my love, you were hurt. I understand that. I just wasn't expecting it but it made me so happy. I came here as soon as I finished leaving the office." Now that he mentioned that, I took the opportunity to look at him. He was wearing a black tux with a white shirt and sky-
I pulled away from him and entered the bathroom to change into an oversized shirt and shorts since we wanted to eat first. I took his arm and we left the room to see everyone in the dining room. I snuggled deeper into Ethan as he walked me to our seats. The smell of food, especially chicken fills my nose making my stomach growl. "So, when am I expecting a wedding" my mum's voice broke the silence and I almost choked on my food. Ethan’s hand immediately rubbed my back to calm me down. "Very soon ma" I choked again. What was he saying? We just got back together. I was not ready for marriage. "You people should let me eat na. Which one is a wedding," I said in pidgin language although I was secretly happy about this question and they all laughed. "Má bínú" (don't be angry). My dad replied, even though he was in support of his wife. We finished eating and went into our rooms to rest and change. We had 30 minutes to get ready and get there. "Did you bring any clothes to change into
