“Are you ready?” Funke asked me, as she sat down on the other side of my office table. I sighed, ran a hand through my un-made hair and plopped on my office chair. I stared at Funke who was discharged from the hospital two days ago, and was even more determined to do this. “I think so. I would be so relieved when all this is over,” I replied and packed my bags before pressing the intercom. “Brook, can you please come in for a minute?” I said it through the intercom and cut it off when I heard her reply. I stared at Funke for a bit and she was already looking at me with a sly smile. I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat as Brooklyn walked in. “Yes, ma’am?” Brooklyn said in her firm voice that I had gotten so used to it. She was wearing a black pencil skirt and flower-patterned shirt. Her hair was combed down like usual. “I was thinking, my wedding is in almost two months and I haven’t had a break in forever. So, Funke and I wanted to go out for a nice relaxing day and since you h
“I don’t understand,”“You kept your job. I made you, my friend. You were so effective, Heck, I trusted you. So, cut the bullshit and answer me. Why are you trying to sabotage me?” I asked in a very calm voice and I watched as she took a step back. Luckily, Antonio stood behind her.“Like I said ma’am. I don’t understand,” I sighed and smacked my lips.“You know, I thought about it a lot and thought the white hair was a wig but seeing as your brown hair was dyed, it means you stopped seeing him when we got a wind of you. I just want to understand, what did I ever do to make you hate me?” I said and stepped closer to her.“It was almost perfect, you know? Three weeks is almost up and I almost had a heart attack just thinking of more ways the psycho after me would attack one of my family. You have no idea how sad and shocked I felt when I found out it was you,”“Spit it out, Brooklyn. I always knew something was odd about you. You almost killed me,” Funke snapped and I realized she was
We never learn to appreciate something, until it's goneBut a chance to make it right,Is better than none...©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVI woke up to someone shaking me, groaning I threw a pillow."Leave me alone" I groaned into the pillow but another pillow was used to hit me on the head."You don't want to get married abi" the sound of marriage from Funke's mouth woke me up.Oh my God, I was getting married.I quickly stood up from my bed jumping on Funke."That's what you get for making me sleep late, last night" I pointed my finger at her but she just laughed.Funke had the crazy idea of taking me to a beach party last night to celebrate my bachelorette. Ethan decided all on his own that the wedding should be done in my hometown. It warmed my heart when he said he wanted to have a Yoruba wedding. I honestly just thought we'd get married in a church.We have successfully not had any press or family issues since Brooklyn was arrested. She ended up getting eight years in prison.It wa
I have waited so long for this day,Where I hold you in my arms,Where I kiss you with my heart,To tell you, you are finally mine..© OluwatoyosiEthan's POVI have dreamed of this day. 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
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 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
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
It's time to spend, spoil, love,It's time to cherish, care, flaunt...Finally as one, thick as thieves,We will be ours, in every way. © Oluwatoyosi Precious’s POV The feeling of hot breath tickling my neck woke me up with a smile as I saw Ethan staring at me with adoration in his eyes. "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
