*****First day at GREG school of entrepreneurship isn’t that bad, everyone here are so nice beyond my expectation. I thought it would be hard to blend in but I thought wrong.GREG school has different department and each of the department has their different uniform color they put on. For instance, the fashion designing department put on the color red, cosmetics department put on purple, catering department which happens to be the department I enrolled in, put on yellow, event planning department put on royal blue, and so on.Locating my department isn’t that difficult from the color diversity. I walk into the building with a big sign board on top of it and a tall yellow flag hanging on the side, signifying the catering department. Seeing other student wearing the same color as me, I follow them up the stairs into a very large hall, having it interior painted white with wide, brown, formica tables arranged in three rows, from the entrance all the way to the back. On each of the tabl

*******I step out the car with Omoh, walking to the threshold of Uche, Omoh's boyfriend's house; I can’t help but notice the big cars parking in his drive way. I literally know nothing about cars except being a vessel on four wheels that can move on fuel. So telling the kind or names of each of them will be mission impossible, talk less of identifying the most expensive amongst them. “Uche’s friends must be very rich” I say to my friend.“Most of them are but most importantly, I want you to have fun.” Omoh walks forward and holds the doorknob. She is about twisting it open but halt when she sees me fighting with my dress.On my beautiful, figure eight body is a shimmering, midnight black dress that stops way above my knees. The fitness of it highlights my every curve from my fully round, moderate sized boobs to my slim waist and obvious hips. Mated with it is a pair of silver heels forced on my feet by Omoh. I'm aware of how sexy I look tonight and it makes me a little bit uncomfor

******WALE POVI can swear she looks familiar. From the moment I set my eyes on her walking through the front door with her friend, the host's girlfriend, my brain went numb and my eyes blind to all the ladies flooding my space. I try my best to not make my stare obvious but her beauty just makes it impossible. I initially refused my cousin's invitation to his friends party. He said all he wanted was to mingle and I never believe it's possible to find genuine love at a party. That's me, a serious minded, Yoruba guy and a complete package of TDH, tall, dark and handsome. It's been a while since my last break up and, I just want to pause on any new relationship. I eventually agree to join my cousin to the party. Not that he made any effort to persuade me to join him, but because a lady, whom a friend tried to pair me up with, was determined on coming over and I don't want to see her at all.I met the girl once on a date, she was ok it terms on beauty, but every man has their own tast

****ENO POV“Excuse me, every one. Can I get your attention, please” Uche announces from the center of the living room I tap Omoh's shoulders, signaling her to listen.“I’m so happy you all made out time to be here this evening and most of all, I’m delighted that you all are about to witness something I’ve been planning to do for the past three months—”I raise my eyebrows on top of a wide smile at my clueless friend who stared at her boyfriend without words “What is he talking about?” I ask.“I have no idea.” she replies, shaking her head.“Heartbeat, come please” We hear Uche call to my friend who walks like a robot towards him while the crowd cheers for her.He holds her hands, smiling and ogling lovingly into her eyes. And just before we know it, Uche goes down on one knee. My heart flutters as if I was the one being proposed too. What a lovely experience and I feel nothing but pure happiness for my best friend.“I didn’t realize how empty my world was until you walked into it f

******"“One way or another we’ve heard that the secret of becoming healthy is to acquire a 10% rest, 10% exercise and 30% diet. Now the question is what is diet? Diet is anything we eat but we have an unbalance diet and a balance diet. We have been taught since primary school that balance diet is eating all the classes of food in the right proportion. Right?” Mrs.Lawal, lecturer on DIET 101 ask the student sitting in front of her.“Right.” The class chorus.“Hey, hey” Jude hits me lightly, waking me from my attempt on sleeping.“Yeah, I’m awake. What did I miss?” i ask, whispering.I can hear him chuckle under his breath “Nothing much, just the definition of diet.” He whispers back, looking at the lecturer “I guess you didn’t get much sleep last night.” “No but I promise, no more sleeping off in class.” I smile. I woke up so tired and lazy this morning. Uche's party last night took all strength from me, coupled with Ubong demands to meet with me.“— and according to the United State

*****“Miss. Eno Ekanem.” Miss. Adeyemi Rotimi smith, the H.O.D, calls, opening a file as she flips the paper inside it “I can see in the next of kin column in your file, you filled a female name, Unwana Ekanem. Is she your daughter or your sister? Judging by your tittle, Miss, I have to ask” she says, looking to get a response from me.“She’s my daughter Ma and I was never married. I was supposed to marry her father but circumstances did not permit.” I briefly explain the little confusion on my file.“Ok, I wanted to be sure before signing. How old is your daughter? She asks again.“She’s thirteen.” I reply“Wow, and you still look this beautiful? Taking care of a thirteen years old girl all by yourself?” I can tell her question is rhetorically then I smile “If I may ask, are you sure you can cope with this course and still look after your daughter? I mean, you are aware this is a practical course?” she points.“My daughter is in a boarding school, this gives me a lot of time to focu

******I sit in the canteen behind the department with Jude, chatting about small stuff, family and everything in-between.

He is welcoming and basically the only person who don’t see me as his rival in the department.Ever since Miss. Adeyemi Rotimi Smith announced the privileges attached to our department, everyone has taken it as a competition and has seen each other as rivals. Especially Miss. Abike. Her father happens to be the C.E.O of a five star hotel in Ikoyi. She looks down on everyone just because she was born with a silver spoon. Mrs. Edward, an unfortunate woman who had a bicker with Miss. Abike, might have sat quietly and listened to Abike run her mouth but not me. I’m just waiting for the day she will try it with me. Not that I’m beefing or anything, I mean, I’m just saying.“I hope there wasn’t any complication?” Jude ask me as I put a straw inside my bottle of Fanta.“Not

******WALE POVI let out a rumble laughter after dropping the call with Eno. Lost in the thought of her that I'm oblivious to when Yinka, my cousin stepped into the room.Letting the smile linger on my lips, I sit up from the couch when I hear him clear his throat. He gives me that amusing stare then laughs while sitting on the brown leather couch across from mine in my living room.My cousin has been living with me since he returned to Nigeria, feeling reluctant to go home because aunty never stops her quest of finding a suitable wife for him. Just like me, he feels the pressure but doesn't want to get his own apartment because hes barely in the country. And now, I have no choice but to accommodate him.“My boy has found himself a girl that makes him smile.” He mocks me, laughing and watching my brightened up face.“Well, you can say that again.” “So, did she agree to meet you?” He curiously asks.“She can't resist me even if she tries.” Still in my happy mood, I stand and move to

*****My heart beats faster and my legs wiggles weakly. The silent treatment is killing me slowly and I find my self saying;“Please Wale, can I at least see you one last time.” I plead, still standing by the door.Yet, he says nothing. I turn and rest my back on the door while I squat down “I’m sorry I didn’t fully trust you. I’m sorry I compared you to the past men in my life, I’m sorry I gave you the impression that I didn’t love you, I’m sorry I doubted your love.” I speak, fighting the tears wrestling to pour “Ever since Ubong left me with Unwana, my daughter, in my womb, Living had been very hard. Some days when the humiliation grew worst, I attempt aborting my child and every time, I failed. If not for my Parent’s undying love, who knows if I would have been alive today.” I converse as tears floods my eyes and my beating heart threatens to stop.“I hated Ubong with my life, then a day came, I gave birth to my Bright star and from the first day I laid eyes on her, I found hope.

********I get down from the Taxi in front of Wale's gate then, I pay the driver before he drives off. I stand a while facing the large, black gate while trying to rehearse what to say when i go in and see him.“Uhm, uhm,” I clear my throat “Your sister is worried about you so she ask me to check on you to see how you are doing.” No, it doesn’t sound right, why should I be the one Tessy sends.I try another one “Baby, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have held back that kind of important part of my life from you.” That’s if I get the opportunity to speak.“Honey, you can hate me all you want but I will not leave here until you forgive me or at least hear me out.” How pitiful. He can as well call the police on my ass and they will just bundle me out.“Uh,” I sigh “Darling remember the fun time we had, remember you said you don’t care what circumstances have to offer, as far as you have me.” Ah, I’m so desperate.“Calling him all the sweet pet name in the world’s list doesn’t guarantee me earning

********It’s been two weeks since I last heard from Wale, he also has been avoiding my calls. And right now, I’m so worried about him, what a twist. First, men leave me when I tell them about my other half and when I thought concealing that information was best, I lose the love of my life.Life is good, fair, unbalanced and cruel at the same time and I just stand alone at the receiving end. Is there even an atom of love left somewhere for me?I can feel my head spinning out of control, my eyes bulging out and I look so tired.I stare at the lecturer without hearing a word of what he’s saying and the harder I stare, the more the face of the lecturer turns into the face of Wale. I’m losing my mind.“Are you ok.” Jude's voice brings me back to class the moment the lecturer left the classroom.“Yes, I’m fine. Just having a little headache.” I say, using my left hand to rub my head. My head had start to hurt from much thinking and I feel miserable. I just need to lay on my bed and cry but

*******Wale Laughs suspiciously at my expression.“Eno, is this you?” She asks on her feet, taking a good look at me to be sure with an identical surprise expression as mine.“Yes, it’s me.” i laugh, not trying to contain my surprise.She makes her way to where I stand and hugs me warmly “I can’t believe this. So you are the Eno my brother has been talking about.” She remarks, ending the hug and looking at me again “I know only one Eno which is you but I never suspected he was talking about the one I know.”“Miss Adeyemi, I’m as stun as you are.” I say smiling.“The title. Please, call my Tessy.” She tells me, taking my hands “Come, sit, I’m so happy to see you.”“Thanks.” I reply following her to the executive booth.It will sound weird calling Miss Adeyemi, Tessy. She and I have become closer in school and she has helped me a lot to become one of the best at school. As a nutritionist, her advice has placed me on the right track.“Meet my fiancé, Gabriel.” She introduce me to the ha

******Omoh and I stayed home all afternoon watching into the badlands with a bowl of popcorn in-between us. And at the end of the seventh episode of the first season, she turns to me and says “I believe you haven’t told him yet.” Reducing the volume of my T.V set.“Told him what?” I ask as if unacquainted with what she’s talking about.“Eno!” She calls out.“What?”“You know he has the right to know.” She declares, with worrying look on he pretty face.“I know and I will tell him.” I tell her “I plan on telling him tonight.” “You are going on a date with him tonight, and you are supposed to meet his sister too. When will you have the time to tell him?”Omoh is right; I may not have the time to tell him. I might be carried away, who knows. I don’t know how to answer her question; I just need to ponder on how to create a right opportunity.“Why haven’t you told him before now?” She asks again.I return my gaze to Omoh “I wanted to be sure. I don’t want to bring another man into my da

*****What can make a girl happier than being with a guy she loves? Wale indeed, is the best boyfriend ever.I’m not saying I regret my previous boyfriends, no, what I’m saying is, they have taught me the different perception of relationships.It’s been a month since Wale and I have been dating, he’s been so caring, loving, possessive, romantic, and Jealous even. I love the fact that he is this way, it make me feel less alone. He makes me laugh always, he hates my genre of movies, he loves singing in the shower and he respects me a lot and that’s my best part.Unlike the previous men in my life, Wale professes his love for me at any given opportunity, he kisses me every time we see no matter the place, he calls me and show up when he says he will. He always keeps to his word.A part of me feels that he’s just being the way he is because our relationship is still fresh. I know it is wrong to compare him with the past men in my life but a part of me still cautions me to be careful, tha

******“You are homely, that’s one attribute I look forward to see in my woman.” Wale compliments, spreading himself comfortably on the couch.And instead of being happy, I only get more confused. “Your woman!” I repeat quite ridiculously.He sniggers “You still haven’t given me an answer to my question.” Wale says. This time, adjusting himself on the couch and facing me fully with his eyes hooded eyes locking me strongly in my position.“What question?” I ask, baffle. Pretending not to recall. But I remember vividly of the night in his car, in front of my house when he asked me if he was my type of man. But the question I failed to ask him was, if he wasn't my type, will he be willing to change for me?He exhales deeply “Eno, I know you know what I mean. Is that why you ignore my calls?” I hear is question come out with an air of depression.“You are getting me more confused here.” I tell him instead.“The last time you said you are not my type of woman but then, and even now I’m ask

*******I stand speechless in front Wale while my brain makes effort to suggest what I should say. In the meantime, I stare at his dimpled smile still dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, he places his right hand on my arm, moving it lightly. Feeling the chills down my spine, I quickly move back, putting a fine distance between us.He smiles widely, aware of reason for resisting his touch “Are you shy?” He inquires.“No, I’m sweaty.” I reply with a good enough excuse.I watch him laugh hysterically, enjoying himself. I won't lie, I like the sound of his laughter but I manage my composure and tell him plainly “I need to get out of this sweaty cloths, I’m not comfortable in it.” I can’t say for certain what I’m not comfortable in anymore. Is it really the sweaty clothes or his piercing stare.“I’ll wait.” He finally says.“You’ll wait, where?” I puff.“My car is very comfortable.” wearing a serious face, he tells me.“Is he planning on waiting in his car? I thought he will leave, why isn’t he l
