Hey guys... I'm sorry I didn't post the last two days. I traveled and didn't take my laptop with me because I was so busy. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.
"I've been watching you for the past 10 minutes and you didn't even notice me? What are you cooking?" he asked in an amused tone. "Well, I already told you, I'm cooking Eba and Ogbono soup" he smiled as I put the kettle of water on another stove. Just as I was about to go back to stirring the soup, Funke entered the house, with a look of exhaustion and greeted Ethan. "Ife, are you cooking Ogbono?" she asked as her face suddenly lit up with joy. I knew that she had been wanting to eat homemade soup. So, I smiled at her and nodded, making her bounce towards me and engulfed me in a tight hug. She then left the kitchen to her room. I removed the soup from the fire, just as my phone started ringing. I checked the caller ID and my face lit up immediately. I wiped my hands and picked up the video call. "Daddy, how are you?" my words were thick with emotion. I heard someone cough and my gaze found Ethan to see his eyes widen as he stared at me with realization and a bit of fear. 'Your
They say time heals woundsThey say we learn from wounds,But then, old wounds can reopenAnd if not strong, could shatter everything...OluwatoyosiPrecious POVThe sound of my alarm buzzed me awake, making me groan as I stood up to do my morning prayer before going into the bathroom to get a hot shower, as it has been cold these past weeks.It's been two weeks since Ethan spoke to my parents and to say we have both been busy was an understatement. I was thrown into projects while Ethan had business deals every now and then but we still managed to find ways to be together like weekends where we are either in my home or going out.I needed a break, I was really tired, but thank God it was Friday.Coming out of the shower, I took my clothes, which consisted of simple jeans with plain white tees. I slipped on my white converse and packed my braids into a ponytail, that's right I had to make my hair, or else it would have started cutting.Taking my backpack, I left my room to see Funke t
Stepping into the apartment, I dropped my bag on the couch and made Funke follow me to the kitchen. I was hungry for homemade fried rice and chicken.It took us an hour to get the food done, then we ate and drank a bottle of non-alcoholic blue wine as a form of our mini celebration while dancing like crazy people in the kitchen. Finally, when we were exhausted, I checked the time to see that it was still 2:55 pm, and we decided to sleep it off. Setting our alarm for 4:30 pm we slept off, not on the bed but the couch in the parlor.The alarm clock jolted us up as we hated the song. Quickly dismissing the alarm, it took us 10minute to stand up."Ife, let's go and shower, I smell like the chicken sauce" I laughed but stood up nonetheless.Entering our rooms, I head to the shower and took a nice long bath, washing, and shaving. After a good scrubbing, I turned off the shower and stepped out wrapping my towel around my body.Checking my wardrobe, I decided to wear my long red Ankara, with
"You do?" he asked incredulously and I nodded and before I knew what was happening, he was carrying me by the waist and twirling me. "I love you so freaking much, my love and I will always do" I put my head on his chest, his heartbeat my music as we swayed to the ending of the song. Ethan pulled me for a long soft kiss and then I heard claps around. We walked back to our seats. Not long after, Ethan and Joel excused themselves to meet an investor. Funke and I decided not to go as our legs were killing us. So, while we waited, we ate to our satisfaction and then some. The food was amazing. I finished stuffing my face with food and drank the juice I ordered since I didn't want to get drunk.Funke and I were appreciating some women who came to comment on our gowns. I was smiling and telling them that we were from Nigeria until I noticed Funke tensed up. "Funke, what's wrong?" I asked her. She looked angry but concerned that's when I heard that voice, his voice. "Ifeoluwa" I tensed n
The beauty of the heartIs the ability to accept,The beauty of the homeIs the ability to accept the heart... Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I woke up to the rays of the sun in my eyes only to find an arm holding me down. Panicked, this isn't my room, this isn't my bed. Then I remember; I remember the party, David, and when Ethan brought me to his home. I relaxed as I see Ethan sitting on a chair right beside the bed, with his head on the mattress as he held onto my hand. Why was he here? Didn’t he go to the other room last night? I was sure he did. I stared at him and frowned at his position. He could get a neck cramp. Checking the time on my phone, it was 8:35 am. I closed my eyes and do my morning prayer, and once I was done, my head started buzzing with questions. David! The man that broke me. Why would he say he still loved me? Hadn't he done enough? I loved him and he threw all that away with just a single act. I couldn’t even begin to imagine what would have happened to me if
I placed my hands on him to try and calm him down before I continued.“Funke yelled at him, and hit him with a plastic pipe beside his bed but he just laughed at us, and then went on to tell me, that it had all been a plan. He only wanted to get into my pants, and that he never loved me. I was broken, Ethan. Funke helped me get out of there, and that's when I cried. I couldn't think, I couldn't function. What would he have done if Funke didn't get there? I knew then that God was amazing, or else I would have been shattered" I was full-on crying by the time I ended my rant.Why did he do such a thing? That was the question that kept me up at night for seven months straight. I loved him so much back then.I wiped my tears and turned my gaze to Ethan but he wasn't looking at me with pity like I expected, he looked at me with love. He stood from the chair and sat on the bed beside me, cooping me up into his arms in a warm embrace."You are the strongest person I know. Despite all that, y
"Hello dear. You must be Precious. I'm Emily, Ethan’s cook" she said briefly and hugged me and I relaxed because she had motherly vibes.Ethan came out of the room holding a pillow about to hit me when Emily glared at him."She started it," he said pointing to me, and I pouted."I did not" I put on a fake hurt face."Okay you big babies, I made pancakes" I squealed and ran to the kitchen.Emily laughed and asked Ethan if I was always like this."With food, she is," Ethan said and I pouted. He pinched my cheeks but I decided not to retaliate since I already started stuffing my face with pancakes."Emily, Precious, and I are going on a vacation. We won't be back till Monday. Can you please, take care of the place till we get back" Monday? At least, I don't have classes till Wednesday because we are done with the classes I have then."Of course, dear, you guys enjoy yourselves." She replied and went back to the kitchen, leaving us to eat.We finished our food under fifteen minutes. I to
The wind blowing through the airThe feeling of freedom, so cool, so fresh,Happiness, an emotion expressed wildly,A smile on the face, the feeling of joy from within.Oluwatoyosi Precious POV "C'mon my love, you can't get away from me now... You belong to me, you understand? You belong to me" my head snapped to the side, and the pain from the slap brought tears to my eyes as I looked at the monster before me. The one I once loved... Oh, how people change drastically within a short period. "Please don't do this, you know how much I love you, please I beg you..." I was cut short with another slap to my face. "I'm tired of your excuses, you are my girlfriend and I have needs that having you, can fulfill," he shouted before tearing off my blouse and the whole room was filled with screams in less than a second, my screams. I couldn't let him do it. I wouldn't. He tore whatever was left of my blouse only to be exposed in my bra and jeans. I fought hard against him, slapping him, h
"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
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
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
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
"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
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 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
