Zara.
So, I had just found out that my philandering cousin couldn't keep it in his pants and two other women were pregnant for him. His ex fiancée and his ex but not so ex wife. This was a flipping mess. A debacle.
My pain was that Tanna was the innocent person that was getting dragged into all this. I was lost for words at the recklessness that my cousin was involved in. What in the world was wrong with him. I just knew that I needed to talk to him because even though he was an adult, this was most definitely my business. Most definitely.
I had consoled Tanna whole heartedly and hen she went back to work. Her predicament was not going to be easy to handle. One thing I knew was that Louis was not going to be a jerk to my friend.
I got dressed and decided to go and see my stupid cousin. Aminu was out for work related issues. He really didn't want to go but it was too urgent. Apparently Kiki had made a mistake with something and it was biting us in t
Zara I got back home after a very long and rigorous journey. My mind was already in the bedroom as my back was exhausted but the traffic in Lagos was unrivaled and wouldn't let me be great. But finally I was home, or Aminu's house. I entered the doors and saw red and pink rose petals scattered on the floor. What was that silly child up to now? I followed the rose petals up to the living room, smiling and anticipating what was waiting for me wherever the trail ended. "What is this?" I muttered before I entered the living room. The room's lights were off and there were lit candles everywhere. Aminu was nowhere in sight but the rose petals still continued up the stairs so I followed it. I was getting too anxious now and my slow steps weren't helping matters. The whole house smelt amazing which meant that the rose petals were actually real roses not fake ones. As I went
ZaraA few days had passed by since the proposal and Aminu and I couldn't get enough of each other. We hadn't left the house all the while and never got any visitors purposely. Aminu had asked the doctor if we could just travel outside the country but the doctors advised against and told him to give me more time to heal, much to my dismay. I really wanted a getaway so bad.Aminu in a bid to fulfill my wishes, organized a small couples weekend getaway at the beach house for just us, Tayo and Tiara, Lanre and Mrs Dorego which was definitely going to throw me off, and Louis and.. whoever he was bringing. I was going to tell him to bring Tanna but i decided that i wouldn't tell him what to do. We still didn't understand the dynamics of his chaotic love life but then that was his business. He also invited Kojo, much to my surprise. I was hearing talks of Kojo having a new girlfriend. Well we would see how that plays out.I hadn't taken off the greek bracelet since I
Zara"What's going on" I said looking around. It was just Kojo and his girl, what was all the fuss about?"Omo, Aminu" Tayo exclaimed again."Shhh" Aminu quieted us all not taking his eyes off Kojo who was approaching us.I decided to be quiet and observe the situation. Kojo and his girlfriend walked into the patio and he greeted everybody. I stayed quiet and noticed that his girlfriend was the one whom Aminu was staring at and she was also staring at him, half heartedly greeting the rest of the crew."Zara, what's happening, why are you so quiet. Has Aminu riled you up again?" He joked but I just wasn't in the mood."Nothing" I said to Kojo so that I wouldn't be rude. He seemed to also notice something was happening so he resorted to an introduction to his girl."So everyone, meet my new girlfriend Tu..""Tumini..." Aminu muttered.Wait, they knew each other? What the actual hell. And with the awkwardness flying around
Zara.I sat on the shores of the beach a little more, mainly because I enjoyed the wind in my ears. It was still so hard to swallow that Aminu's ex was in the same vicinity as us. I also knew that she probably didn't know that Kojo was Aminu's cousin and in so doing, didn't know who she was going to see here.All in all,I felt so insecure. Nobody knew that my memories were back yet and I really didn't want to tell anyone quite yet. I was just observing until it was the right time.My mind was still clouded with a lot of thoughts that I didn't realize Kojo coming to sit beside me until he spoke."Thinking much?" Kojo spoke making me turn to face him. His thick Ghanaian accent was a dead give away of who was speaking."Aren't we all?" I said facing the waves again.Kojo sighed "I really don't know how to feel about this whole Tumini, Aminu situation. It's so frustrating." Kojo ranted."Well, at least you kinda got your revenge." I
Zara.Aminu and I were the last get to the dining table. Louis already had a glass of whiskey or scotch in hand and was talking to Tanna, Tayo was talking with Lanre who also had a glass of Scotch in hand as well. I hated seeing Lanre and I didn't know why.Teni, Lanre's sugar mummy as I liked to call her, had already left earlier because she said this was for youngsters and had nothing to do with her. This was a couples vacation, it had nothing to do with being youngsters. Sucks for Lanre though.Tiara and Kojo along with Tumini were catching up at the table. The sight of Tumini made my stomach flip. I didn't like her one bit. The nerve of her trying to get under my skin.The table was set up already probably by the resort staff, because it had a professional touch to it. But it was Tumini that cooked the food and that irked me. I just knew that she had a motive she was trying to achieve. Who in the world would be so comfortable in her shoes. She was so
Zara.Louis' question was met with a lot of surprise and whispers everywhere. It was a direct question and was indirectly warning Aminu not to make a fool of himself.Aminu chuckled and rubbed his face. "Why am I supposed to care about that. I'm engaged to the love of my entire life. I don't care about anything else except her" he said and I blushed. His words finally assured me that there would be nothing between the both of them and that he had moved on. For real."Well that settles it then" Louis said while smirking. Aminu didn't seem upset by the question."I go love oo" Tayo said and got smacked on the head by Tiara."Ow, babe" Tayo said rubbing the back of his head while we all laughed at him."Your wife is literally beside you man, and you're misbehaving" Kojo said laughing.Everyone took turns in teasing Tayo but I noticed how quiet Tumini was. She wasn't even laughing at the jokes that were being thrown aroud, her head hung l
ZaraI woke up extra early before Aminu could get up. Even with the rigors of the night I still felt extra boosted because I was going to show up and show out today.I wanted to do a little grocery shopping in order to make us some breakfast and I woke up at five just for this purpose because I didn't want anybody deliberately stealing the spotlight and shine from me.I went and immediately freshened up, putting on an Ankara playsuit that Aminu randomly saw at the mall and got me. I also put on a hat because of how unbelievably sunny it was going to get later in the day.I took some sunglasses and put on some sunscreen and was out the door. There was a particular mall in the area that was open twenty four hours and seven days a week. It was good for me so I didn't have to wait till 9am to be able to go to the mall. I also texted Aminu on where I was going so that he wouldn't be out of his mind when he finally woke up.It was seven when I finally go
ZaraEveryone who had woken up came straight to the kitchen to get their plates of food. Including Tumini. I had seen her before, she reared her ugly head into the kitchen to see if I was there or not and then scampered away. She probably thought I didn't notice her.She was wearing a very skimpy and provocative outifit. It irked me a lot because she was a very fleshy and curvy individual with lots of ass and boobs as opposed to me who was slim thick. I noticed she was trying to hard to get Aminu's attention which wasn't ever going to happen. She took her food from Lanre while eyeing me and then turned around to go to the dining table where the others were.I breathed out, trying to channel my energy to positivity before I did something I would regret."Is everything alright baby" said Aminu, who was all the while facing me on the kitchen counter.I forced a fake smile "I'm splendid.
