"Do you think I should pick this?" I ask as I scan the strapless long green gown. It exposes a lot of my back and cleavage. It is not my type of dress but it looks manageable.

"Nope." Jade shakes her head as she pops open her bottle of Coke.

"Why not?" I whine, still looking at myself in the mirror.

"I mean, it is obvious that is not your type of dress." Jade says, laying more emphasis on the 'that'.

"But we have been here for about two hours now!" I say as I plop myself on the red couch, sitting beside her.

"It's not my fault we have not found a dress suitable for the wedding." She shrugs. "Besides you need to look dashing for Andre." She winks at me, a small smirk playing on her lips. "did I say dashing, sorry, I meant hot. So he won't be able to keep his eyes off you." She grins at me.

I rolled my eyes at what she said, "you know I'm not dressing to impress him." I shake my head as I stand up and then check the rails of clothes again. Who knows I mig

    Details of yesterday night come rushing like a flood.I remember coming home feeling so tired yet happy that my best friend is getting married soon. I remember how I entered my bathroom and let the water from the shower pour on me and how memories from my relationship came rushing. I remember that I broke my promise. I promised not to cry but still, I needed to let out my frustration one way or the other. I feel sick and I knew this was because of yesterday night. I cried so hard that I could hardly recognize who I was anymore. I won't let this affect me more than it already has.I stretch and get up from my bed.I walk too slowly to the bathroom stripping myself of my nightwear as I walk in. I brush my teeth and packed my hair in a rough bun to avoid water from touching it. I walk in gracefully and I let the cold water cascade on my skin. I feel refreshed as water drops fall on me. I need a long bath but Friday morning is not the best time for that, especially when y

    Happy Sunday y'all!!Enjoy the double updates again!!❤ ❤ ❤***************************************I wake up feeling nauseous. I need to be there for Jade. I can't put a hand on why I feel so sick. I'll have to go to the hospital after the wedding. I stand up despite my body's disagreements with me. I need to do something. I walk to my bathroom carefully so I won't fall. Maybe I'm hungry that's why my head hurts so much. I pick my toothbrush, apply my toothpaste to it and wash my teeth. When I am done, I release my hair from the bun it is in and removed my clothes.I drop my clothes on the sink and entered the bath. Turning on the shower, I take my shampoo container and apply a little pressure on it to release a little of its content on my palm. I rub my shampoo in my hair carefully. Making sure to get it to my scalp. Rinsing off the shampoo I apply my body wash on my sponge and scrub my body. When I feel satisfied I walk out with my towel around my body.

    Andre and I get to the church a few minutes after Jade does. I don't understand what made her that late but knowing Jade and how excited she was I know she probably freaked out again."Wish me luck!" She screams. I smile softly."You don't need it. Now go marry him!" I say, sounding excited. I'm really excited for her and Asher but I haven't even been able to face him after blocking him for no reason. I remember he called me and tried asking me what he did wrong. I didn't have an answer to that because I couldn't say something along the lines of, "Hey Asher my boyfriend doesn't feel comfortable with our friendship"Thinking back on things I really would have sounded stupid. Jade goes back to the car to wait for the service to begin."What are you thinking about" The usual deep voice whispers in my ears. I jump a little from the shock. He stares at me with confused eyes. I clear my throat."Nothing" I smile. He pulls my arm and locks it in his. I take deep br

    After the service, we all move to the reception. The wedding is a beautiful one but it takes a huge toll on my emotions. I'm happy for Jade. I really am.Andre won't stop touching me. I should tell him to stop it but another part of me loves the touch. I've been feeling nauseous since I ate. I haven't said anything about it because I don't want anybody getting worried about me. I definitely don't want to destroy or take the spotlight on Jade's day. Andre noticed this."Are you OK?" He asks. I nod."Yes, I am.""You don't look too good," He says and I laugh."Wow. Thanks for the compliment" He laughs, getting the joke."You look hot but I'm serious you don't look ok" He sounds concerned."I've been feeling sick and I feel nauseous," I finally admit to him."We should let you see the doctor right away," He says."Maybe tomorrow. I what to be here for Jade" I say.."I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate you throwing up on her wedding d

    I thought waiting for school examination results was hard, but waiting for my test result is harder. I can't bring myself to get a good night's rest as my mind was on different possibilities. What exactly could be wrong with me? Only one thought keeps coming to my mind but I just can't bring myself to open up to the idea of that being the problem.I take deep breaths before entering the now-familiar hospital. The hospital isn't as loud or I'd say busy as it was the last time I came here with Baxter. I try not to stare at the sick patients walking around the hospital. I can never get used to the sight of the hospital. I wait a while at the reception because doctor Billy is busy with a patient. After waiting for twenty minutes I am asked to go in as soon as a young man walks out of the office angrily. I don't want to start to imagine what went down in there. I smile at the lady as I entered the office."Good morning, "Billy greets, stretching his hand forward indicating I si

I really miss him with I would never say that to him. Anything to boost his ego. I go to the bathroom to wash my face with my body wash. I dab my face with my face towel before going to my room again. I stretch to reach the top of my wardrobe to take my small black box but I can't reach it. If I was hike right now Rob would have rubbed the fact that he is taller than me in my face. One of the things I miss about him, he's always there for me when I need him like a bug sister but now I don't think he would be so happy to see me.

    Forbidden 24I take my window seat in the back of the plane. Waiting for other passes to board the plane I turn on my aeroplane mood and open the new novel I started reading the novel I have always wanted to read but my whole life event has not allowed me to even start the first page. When I checked online I was advised to see a therapist but I am not interested in talking to someone I do not even know.“If you truly love me you will not force or even try to manipulate me into having sex with you” Lola yelled at her boyfriend, Hunter. I close the page of the book and I stare at the sky lost in thoughts. This is exactly what happened to me but this time unlike Lola I gave in. I lost my virginity to him. I remember the day like yesterday.***************“How was work with our boss?” Baxter asks.“It was fine. I'm tired” I grumble.“Sorry baby. Don't forget what you promised for the n

Scared I stay still and let the tears fall. He’s going to kill me. This is how I’m going to die. He caresses my face with a smirk.“I always wondered what you saw in him but I see it now. He’s rich and you want all of his money” He started. I shake my head no. I don’t want his money you asshole I thought.“Tell your husband I will be coming for what’s mine” He informs me. I nod with tears still falling.“Good girl” He drops me and I fall hand on the floor. I quickly stood up holding my phone as I run back to Andre who I see standing. I ran to his arms scared.“What took you so long. I_” He starts.“Wait” He pulls me away from him staring at my shaken s

    “Where do I begin?” He asks.“How did you meet her? Did she work for you?” I ask. He nods.“Ok. So Samantha and I have been friends for years now. Since I was a teenager and when dad he was thinking of opening a new company in New York I was excited because I had started learning about family business. I hoped to work for him. With Samantha’s help we were both able to convince dad to let us take charge of this new company. We were still teenagers so we couldn’t help with the building but dad let us think of different ideas. This was when our ‘love’ started. I think spending more time trying to mix business and school together made us closer than we were. We thought of the name for the new company until we decided A&S. Dad was glad we came up with a decision. Our plan was to become partners but my sister wasn’t too happy about this. She claimed Samantha was after the money but we were both teenagers I

    “No” I groan when Andre taps me again for the thousandth time. He laughs.“Baby. You will have to stand up eventually” He explains.“I know. Must it be now?” I ask.“No love but I have plans that requires you to stand up now” This time he pulls me up.“Argh Andre you don’t love me anymore” I whine when I seat up and rest my back on the head board.“Never question my love for you Freya because I love you but I really need you to stand up” He begs. I roll my eyes at him.“I’m up. Aren’t I?” I ask him. He smiles and places a small kiss on my lips.“Yes you are. Thanks” He smiles moving to stand up. I pull him back by his neck and place my lips on his. He does not waste time to return my kiss.

    After dinner and Andre realised I will not admit his food tastes better, he gives up and lays on the bed.“You’re forgetting something” I remind him but he still looks very lost.“You promised me a message” I frown at him. He sighs.“Fine,” he says and I jump on him making him scream.“Fuck! Freya” he protests and I laugh, making a move to stand up. He sits up and stretches.“Argh Freya, what's got you this excited?” He asks.“You” I whisper to him.“You know I must say you're good with your words” is he really saying that?. He has the best words ever. I only grin as I remove my PJs and lay bare naked on the bed. Andre checks through his bag and brings out a bottle of oil. He walks over to the bed and kneels above my head. I am laying with my back on the bed.

    After Dimitri drops us at the airport Andre holds my waist and kisses me. I smile at him“Why did you do that?” I ask him.“Because I wanted to and I can” He answeres smiling back at me.“Who says you can” I decide to tease him.“I did” I laugh at him.“What about my permission” I tease further.“You always want me to kiss you love” He replies to me and I blush. He's not wrong.“That blush on your face shows that I am right” He grins.“Whatever. I’m not going to miss this flight because of you” I say smiling. I carry my box and bag and he does the same. After going through all the necessary procedures we both wait. Our flight was called for takeoff so we both run to catch up.

    “Mmm,” I whimper still swirling at my face.“What is the problem?” he asks mildly, sitting up on the bed to scoot close to me.“Nothing just...just__” I break down again in tears. He holds me to himself and let me cry all I want. After some time, I look at him“I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking about my ex and all he did to me” I sniff. He reaches out to the side table to bring out a napkin which I use to dab at my eye. “ He abused me so much Drè. I don't know how am ever going to forget what that monster did to me. They were horrible, horrible things.” this is not the first time am saying anything about her ex to him. He knew about Baxter but not everything the scumbag did to me.

I open my mouth to say something but he tightens his lips and shakes his head at me.” just close it” he says again. Seeing that he's serious, I close my eyes but not entirely. I peek at him from under my thick dark lashes“You are cheating. If you won't obey, then you are not ready for the surprise” He surmises and comes back to sit on the bed. I raise my hands up “No no no am sorry... Please go ahead” I clamour, his face causing my heart to flutter.He looks at me for some time to make sure I wasn't going to want to open my eyes again.

    I smile as I look at my husband with his eyes closed still in a deep slumber. My mind went to last night the way I was squirming under him when we were entangled in our blissful moment. As I think about it now I can't help but feel that everything is thrilling.I still can't believe that Andre is my husband. My smile becomes wide “Yes!” I say, slightly covering my mouth so that I won't wake him up. I stretch my hand to brush the stray hair that had fallen to his face. He is so beautiful even in his sleep.I yawn and gently climb out of the bed.I enter the bathroom to ease myself. As am coming out, Andre stretches his hands up and yawns probably to release tensed nerves. He looks at me and smiles.“Good morning beautiful ,” He says to me. My cheeks become red and I hide my face away. I was thinking by now I would get used to us, but from what am seeing, am still very shy around him.&nbs

    CHAPTER 60I believe every repentant or good person deserves to be happy. We all have our shortcoming and imperfections and that is what makes us human. I have been given a chance to be happy, despite all that has happened, despite my imperfections. I judged Rob and Johnson wrongly without sitting Rob down to hear him out and without studying Johnson well enough to know who he really is before judging him.If I have not been given a chance to be happy again, then I won't be here, walking down the aisle in Jonhson's arm to become the wife of no other person than my very own heart desire. The only man whose voice can wake me up from whatever slumber I fall into. The only man that understands my silence, even when my mom is trying hard to figure out what it means. The only man that is patient and kind and understanding. The only man that can accomodate all my excesses, my moodswings and bad behaviour.I am walking down the aisle right down, my left hand in Johnson's arm
