Chp 3 - Make Me Forget
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Sanmi, please I need a room!” The man said urgently to the guy at the counter after scanning the faces of the people who were inside. The guy tossed him a key urgently with a raised brow.
“I will explain later, Let’s go,” he said to Tanya then turned back to the guy who was looking at her curiously “I am not here, Sanmi,” he said to the guy meaningfully.
The guy nodded without a sound, giving Tanya a respectful nod.
The room was a simple one according to Tanya’s standards. It was a far fetch from what her management team would have ever thought of getting for her. It consists of a bed, a table, a chair and a cable TV set up facing the bed. The toilet/slash bathroom door was open and Tanya could see how small it looked.
“Two people would need to stand or walk sideways in there for them to fit or crawl in fact,” she thought in amusement as she envisioned someone crawling on the probably grimy floor just so.
Tanya sat heavily on the chair as she thought of what had just happened.
Something she wouldn’t have thought would happen to her when she woke up that morning.
“Today had been the day for the unexpected, from Martinez’s betrayal to this,” she thought to herself as she remembered what had made her be at the spot where he had met her earlier.
“I can’t believe I almost got killed,” she muttered to herself then she looked up at the guy, who was looking down at the street from the window while standing sideways so as not to be visible from the street in case someone was monitoring him as well.
“I almost got killed because of a stranger today, someone I do not even know. My God!” She rubbed her hands over her face. “Do you think they are still after us? Could they have given up and gone back to….” She flung her hands. “To whatever it was that criminals do when they are not terrorizing people and making living a hell?”
“I am sure they wouldn’t stop for a while but let’s just hope they didn’t discover this place.″ the guy said matter-of-factly without looking back at her.
Her panic kicked in again “You me…you mean they can still discover us here? Do you mean we can still be dead by morning? That I can still be dead by this time tomorrow? ″ she struggled for breath as her panic increased.
“Well…. let’s just…” he looked back as he heard a thump behind him and he rushed to her as he saw that her eyes had rolled back in her head and she was struggling to breathe.
“Hey, hey,” he said, taking her face in his hands. He looked deeply into her widened eyes.
“Hey, breathe, breathe, there you go. Slow does it,” he crooned to her.
“I..I..ca…I can’t die now, I can’t,” she started hyperventilating.
He had no experience with hysterics in females and he thought of what he could do to distract her mind from the impending danger as the only other thing he tried to avoid more than he avoided female hysterics was having a female faint at his feet.
And she very much seemed like she would do that if he didn’t think fast about a way to diffuse the situation.
As hard as he thought, only one thing came to mind that he felt he could use to distract her.
He kissed her!
Tanya’s eyes flew open as she felt electricity go through her from the fusion of their lips to her tingling toes. Her heart rate decreased and then increased again for a different reason.
She trailed her hands up his arms, to his neck, and his shoulder.
And then she held his face as she moved back from the kiss. Her eyes trained on his bobbing Adam’s apple.
He looked shaken by the kiss as well as he looked away from her “Listen, I know I shouldn’t have done that. I am…”
“What is your name?” Tanya whispered.
“What?”
“I should at least know the name of the man I would probably die with, don’t you think? I am Tanya. I would shake your hand but mine is not so steady right now, my whole body isn’t.”
“Tanya. That is a beautiful name,” he said after giving her a long look. “I am Ayo, Ayodele”
“Hi, Ayodele, be sincere with me, okay? Who were those men chasing you tonight? Chasing us, I should say. Are you a criminal that I should beware of or an unsavoury character?”
He smiled cynically “Would you believe me if I said I am not?”
Ayodele felt like her look was penetrating his soul, so direct and full of meaning as it was when she muttered “I would believe you because I know that you wouldn’t lie to me right now.”
Ayodele sobered up and his eyes glistened as he remembered what he had seen that night. “No, I am not a criminal. I just witnessed...a friend being murdered tonight, that happened to be my crime,” he stated, humbled by the compassion and grief in her eyes for someone she didn’t even know.
He shrugged like it didn’t matter so she would stop looking so sad but he was unaware that the wetness in his eyes was increasing.
“Men,” she thought “When will they learn that tears are not demeaning?”
Ayodele wanted to turn his face from her as he felt a tear plop on his face, then another, and another but she wouldn’t allow him.
“Don’t hide from me, Ayo. The person obviously meant a lot to you, what is there to be ashamed of in that?” Tanya said as she proceeded to do something her family, her friends, her fiance, and her teams would never have believed that she could do in a million years.
She dragged his face back to hers, kissing him soundly. Pushing her tongue into his mouth as she tore at his shirt.
“Whoa! Whoa! Hold on a sec,” Ayodele protested and moved back a bit to clear his head as he looked at her eyes and saw a frenzied look in her eyes.
She didn’t let him go.
She seemed like someone who needed a kind of validation.
“Are you sure about this?” He asked.
“Why not, we’d probably be dead soon anyway” Tanya tried to reply flippantly but her voice caught on the last statement.
She looked into his eyes determinedly “Have sex with me. Make me forget about it all. Make me feel alive this moment,”

"Wow! What is this? What is going on?" Ayodele thought fleetingly as the bundle of energy in his arms came on to him with fervour. Ayo had always prided himself as a man's man through and through, and he wasn't about to complain about his luck.It wasn't every day that a man went from narrowly escaping death to ending up in the arms of a crazily beautiful woman, all in the space of an hour.He was bowled over with the hint of desperation in the way she was tearing at him, yet he matched her fervour without backing down. Buttons flew as they tried to get a better hold of each other.They rolled on the bed, one trying to take control and the other not seceding.The temperature in the room heightened and the staccato whirring from the ceiling fan was barely sufficient as steam rises off them.Ayodele swore as his tight belt made it impossible for her to unbutton his fly. He sat up, capturing her mouth in a steaming kiss as he hurriedly unbuckled his belt.Tanya packed back her hair away f

He moved to the sink to fill the glass."Well, I hate to put anything to waste. Anything at all, especially when that thing could be useful," she said, licking her lips like she was tasting it."Damn, you really would enjoy that, won't you?" He said as he moved back to the bed to offer her the water."Hmmm hmmm," she purred. Looking at him seductively from beneath her lashes as she stretched her hands slowly to take the glass from him."You are thirsty, ain't you? He asked."You bet, very thirsty" she replied with a hot look that made Ayo almost lose it."We have to get some water in you then."He moved the water out of her reach and drank it, keeping some in his mouth as he climbed the bed. He captured her mouth in his, slowly trickling the water into her mouth.Tanya felt like she would explode. She had no idea that a man could ever make her feel like this. She moaned into his mouth as the water that had been warmed from his mouth made her feel like she was taking him in her mouth."
Groom For The Day Chp 6 - Is That So, Tanya?
Ayodele growled silently.“Damn, she just had to say it,” he thought as his anger rose and he flung his hands as he faced her again.“A quick fuck? That was what I was? Wow, how nice of you, empress, to choose me, this peasant for this amazing task,” he said sarcastically. “Are you satisfied with my performance or you would like a recap while you think of the man you are about to walk down the aisle with? In fact, why don’t we extend this arrangement to after your wedding too? I mean, a woman with your appetite wouldn’t be satisfied with an impotent man in her bed” he said, deliberately being mean to cover the hurt he felt growing in him at that moment.She looked at him like he was crazy “Who said anything about him being impotent?”Then she laughed in a demeaning manner.At least that was how she sounded to him as she turned to face him forgetting that she was still totally naked, except for her bra which she had put on or maybe she just didn’t care.“Awwn, poor Ayo, have you set up

“Are you really at this moment comparing my stamina to that of your hubby-to-be, Miss? And as far as I can remember, it seemed like you found me lacking too,” he repeated while trailing his hands down her arms.Then he repeated the routine slowly, diverting her attention from his hands as he kissed her sensitive ear lobe.He palmed her breast so suddenly that she gasped.“I am not….aargh…comparing anything. Definitely……..hmm…...not finding you lacking in any way” She arched her back into him as his bulge thickened and she could feel it nudging her ass. “Your stamina is…..eerr..nice enough,”He gave a short laugh “And the insult continues. Nice enough? Should I show you again just how nice enough my stamina could be then?” He turned her swiftly to face him and the ferocious look she saw in his eyes made her breath back up.She remembered vaguely hearing somewhere that a man felt threatened when their prowess was underestimated and they just wanted to prove themselves. This sure could be
Groom For The Day Chp 8 - Don't Cry, Tanya
Ayo collapsed on her and he felt her body shaking violently.At first, he thought it was from her orgasm but then the shaking continued.He rolled off her to lay on his back, staring at the ceiling for a while to get his strength back.“That….that…was beyond nice,” he said to her but she didn’t respond.He looked sideways at her and saw that her body was still shaking.“Tanya?”No response.He rose on his elbow and turned her over with his other hand.A strange feeling weakened him when he saw her face.She was crying!“What happened? Tanya. Did I hurt you? I am so sorry. Was I too rough with you?” He asked anxiously.She looked up at the compassion in his eyes and her tears increased as she started sobbing more loudly.Ayo gathered her in his arms rocking her as she seemed to want to compose herself yet the tears kept coming.He kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and then her nose as he rocked her with worry on his face while she continued crying like she had a lot bottled inside.“I am

Tanya quickly opened the door forgetting her almost naked state. She ran to him, fluttering her hands around his face."Oh, my God! Oh my, I am so sorry. I wasn't expecting you there. I...Oh god, your head!" She patted his face and his head.The pain that exploded in Ayodele's head made him remember the cartoonish stars that rotate around Tom's head in Tom and Jerry's cartoon movies that his cousin loved so much. He closed his eyes to steady himself as he gingerly touched the side of his head to check if blood was coming out or not. The way he felt at the moment made it seem like the head had split into two."Damn," he thought when he removed his hand from his head and he saw a little blood on his hand. Nothing to worry about though but he couldn't help but be amused at the way Tanya's eyes widened when she saw the red moisture on his hand."Oh, my. You are bleeding!" she exclaimed.He wanted to tell her that it was nothing to worry about, but then he thought of how this could work in
Groom For The Day Chp 10 - No Perfect Relationship
Princess Tanya Darlington had never been good with bearing her thoughts to others as she had come to realize earlier in her life that most people don’t care anyway.The majority of them were just looking for the tidbit they could get about her just so they could trend online or so they could brag among their friends that they knew her or something they could use against her in the future.So she had learned to be very guarded about what she said to others. To filter her words before uttering them.And to check and recheck every action internally before doing it in public or in anybody’s presence.Stressful it might seem to others but that was the norm for Tanya. She had gotten so used to it that she didn’t give it much thought.Just as the moon and the stars are, that was how constant the realisation had been in her mind that nobody would know what she didn’t want them to know.She had thought of and believed in having a soulmate.Someone you could share everything with, who wouldn’t j

She had been so furious and believed there was nothing anyone could tell her to make her go back on her decision.She had also realised just how less efficient she had become in managing her own life and going through the motions every other person goes through.She gave up trying to call a cab after hailing the first two, one of whom asked for her autograph and proceeded to tell her how he had been a die-hard fan and how she was his fantasy woman. She had told him to leave and ran back to Martinez’s street, the latter still nowhere in sight.The other had asked her outright if she would like him to show her a good time.She had given up and had to call her manager at the end of the day to call her driver when she realised that she didn’t even have her driver’s number.Her manager had always dealt with that part.“So much for a day free of lights, managers, and cameras,” she thought to herself as her silent driver whisked her to her residence at her insistence that he drove fast.She

"Why is he here?" Tanya felt Ayo's hand tighten on hers.She turned her head to see Martinez down the hall surrounded by his new manager and his bodyguards.She noticed that the bodyguards were fewer than he normally had.She supposed he had to keep up pretenses because she of all people knew that he could no longer afford them.He could barely afford the clothes on his back as he was so neck-deep in debt that she was sure he wouldn't finish paying for them in a decade, even if he decided to straighten up and do better.Since that didn't seem to be in the cards anytime soon, she was sure even his pretences would crumble soon enough.She saw Derek, a heavyweight champion, pointedly snubbed Martinez and walked away.When he spotted them, he turned towards their direction, but Tanya looked at her security head before turning away.She knew he wasn't going to get to her family even if he became a fly."Ignore him," she told Ayo. "Some people still believed that his old music, Gangrene, des

“It will be fine,” she told herself firmly.She had to believe it.She told her men to stay out while she looked for him.She entered the hotel and was directed to the ballroom on the second floor, sectioned off separately from the main floor.Tanya took the stairs that led to the ballroom just as someone was coming down it.“Why must I always see you everywhere I go? Isn’t it enough that you ruined my life?!” Susan’s shrill voice dampened Tanya’s mood.She wondered what she was doing here, especially coming from that part where the receptionist said it was closed off to the public for the day.Despite her curiosity, Tanya decided to ignore the bitch so she could go away with her trouble. She had something better to deal with, and she was not going to allow her to ruin it for her. She continued up the stairs expecting Susan to shut her trap if she didn’t respond.She gasped when she suddenly felt a hand pull her from behind, and she slipped backwards.“Tanya!” she heard Ayo’s voice as

“I am pregnant?” Tanya started at the doctor in shock.“Yes, princess. That explains all those feelings you’ve been having. Congratulations.”Tanya couldn’t believe it.She stared blankly at Dr. Aguilar then looked down at her stomach.Cupping it, she stood up from the bed and walked slowly towards the door.She flung it open and Christianah almost tumbled in. She had her ears plastered to the door, while Meg leaned against the railing with a worried look on her face.Meg hurried forward while Christiana steadied herself, “Well?” she asked while peering into Tanya’s pale face. “What is it? You are fine? You are fine, right?”Her worried tone made Tanya nod automatically, and then she said quietly, “I am pregnant. He said I am pregnant.”“Pregnant?! That is good news!” Meg said excitedly, then “Come, you shouldn’t be standing. You are pregnant…”Tanya didn’t believe she could squeeze laughter past the ball lodged in her chest, yet it erupted as she looked at Meg’s face. “Pregnant, not s

In a theatrical whisper, he said, “It is that man I saw on the TV with you. I think he is your husband? Yes, that one. Such a wicked soul,” he said with disgust on his face right before he forked some lobsters into his mouth.“There are many men with me on the TV, many have acted as my husbands before too. Which one of them are you talking about?” Tanya asked with confusion on her face.“I mean the…” he cleared his throat and drank wine to wash down the hastily chewed food. “The real one. The one you married instead of Martinez. What is that name I hear people call him? Yes, Mr. Taiwo. That one.”With surprise evident on her face, Tanya leaned forward. “Are you sure about this? You must have been mistaken. After all, it was a dark street.”“I know it as sure as I know my name, princess. I won’t lie to you. If that killer wants to lie about it, I can say this right to his face!” he said firmly.“Oh? That means you wouldn’t mind repeating this anywhere?” Tanya asked.“Of course not! Mart
Groom For The Day Who Is He?
Tanya waved the man over as she saw him enter the restaurant.She had booked the whole restaurant for the evening and was seated alone, so it was easy for him to see her.He wore a blue windbreaker jacket that seemed to have seen better days, just like his jeans and shoes. He seemed to be in his thirties.Smiling broadly, he approached her table. "Hello, princess. I can't believe I am meeting you in the flesh. This is so surreal. May I have an autograph, please?" he said excitedly."Of course, why not?" Tanya answered with a smile. "Let's get down to business first. We can do that later.""Okay, okay," he said as he scraped the chair back loudly and sat eagerly while smiling at her.Tanya disliked his shifty eyes immediately, but she held her smile as she assessed him. Her eyes went towards the man behind the counter with his face turned away before focusing on the man giving her a once-over.She was sure she had never seen him before nor knew him with Martinez, but then it was easy to

She was ashamed.The better Ayo’s family treated her during their two-day visit, the more ashamed she felt about the way her mother had treated Ayo and was still treating him.The visit was meant to be a few hours' visit, but his sister had persuaded her to stay one more day.She could see that his mom loved the idea as well, so she immediately agreed.It had been the most relaxing and heart-filled visit she had ever had.Ayo’s mother did not treat her like a stranger at all. She treated her like she had known her for ages.Her care and compassion almost seemed alien to Tanya.It wasn’t that her mother wasn’t capable of love, she just couldn’t remember a time when things like her career and her standing in the family hadn’t overshadowed any bond they might have developed while spending time together.If she thought hard enough, maybe she could recall a time in her childhood when she had been allowed to just be a child or when her mother had just looked at her with love without thinking

She covered the distance between their hands and linked them together, saying, “I want to meet your family. It would be my honour to see your home.”Emotion clogged Ayo’s chest and thickened his voice as he said, “And after that?”“I want you back,” she said without hesitation.“Back? Like…?”“Forever,” she answered. “I don’t want to end this. I lied when I said this was just an arrangement. I want more.”Oh, baby. Ayo’s hands tightened on hers as his eyes swam with the blooming emotions in his heart. “I want more too, baby. I want it all. I don’t ever want to let you go. I will work hard to deserve you. I will…”She leaned forward to lay her finger on his lips, “Ssshh,” she said softly. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You are more than enough for me,” she said with glistening eyes.Ayo shot out of his chair and hauled her into his arms before he could stop himself.Enough. She believed he was enough.Apart from his family, no one had ever believed he was enough.E

Excitement and anxiety warred in Ayo as he entered Avery.Avery was one of the top restaurants in Lagos with full-course international cuisines. One could request any food from Asian delicacies to oriental cuisines.The restaurant was so famous that one had to book a reservation at the restaurant at least a week before the date.Ayo had decided to try his luck that afternoon when he called. He was disappointed when he was told they were booked for the next three months.He was thinking of another place he could invite Tanya to that would be just as phenomenal when he got a call back from the restaurant.“You are in luck, sir. Someone just cancelled their reservation now. Would you like to take it?”“Yes,” Ayo said immediately.Though the reservation had taken the bulk of the money he had left, he was happy to do it for her.The security guard greeted him cordially and opened the door for him, and he stepped into the cool interior.He was surprised when he saw three attendants waiting f

“You won’t believe this!” Tanya smiled as she readjusted on the bed and asked, “I can sense it is something exciting from your voice. What is it?”“Oh my God! Excitement is the least of what I am feeling right now. I am overwhelmed.” his exuberant voice made her smile widen.Oh, she missed him. She wished she could see him right now.Even better, she wished he could be beside her at that moment. She missed him badly, but she was determined to respect his decision.“Even if it kills me,” she thought as she rolled her eyes at herself, then focused firmly on his excitement.“Do you know James Beed? I mean, what am I even talking about? Of course, you know James Beed. Mr Beed called me!”“Oh?” she prompted while grinning from ear to ear.“He called me for my book! He wants to make it into a movie! Can you believe that?! He was even talking about series, collaborations, and some other things I couldn’t really focus on. Can you believe this, Tanya? My book will be turned into a movie. I wro
