I should have been happy about Mike's absence for the past few days, I really should be, but as I brushed my hair in front of the tiny mirror of the equally tiny motel room that was now my abode, I realised that I wasn't only unhappy that he hadn't even bothered to contact me since our argument thre

I still didn't see the reason why Mike had brought me there, but I was grateful that he had. Especially when Mike set the cute little kid down and handed her a few naira notes to go put up some clothes, but the girl shrug a shoulder in refusal."I no want bibe." She offered in explanation and ran towards me with her childish giggles.I crotched down and let her wrap her hand around my neck, not minding the fact that my white blouse would be stained."Bye bye." I giggled when she smacked her lips against my cheeks and took off when she saw Mike closing on her.The infectious happiness of the cute girl reminded me of my own niece. No one could ever be anything less than happy when these bundles of joy were around. Maybe the carefree nature of this kid was the reason why Mike brought me here. To indirectly advice me to stop being so uptight with worry.Maybe he was right, maybe I needed to live a little.Just maybe. The woman too said her goodbyes after conversing with Mike for a few mor

AN:Hey there! I just realised that I actually have people following this book and I've been a little bit sketchy with my recent updates; I'm sorry about that, been typing chappies with serious illness and I can barely even comprehend what I'm writing.I promise to edit when I feel better and I'll advice that y'all wait till then before reading as your eyes might twitch from all the typos you'll find.The previous chapter was extremely short, so here's the second part for it. Enjoy :)Mokunfayo Badmus:Mike, for some reason, stood far away, looking spooked and nervous when I finally opened my eyes and was able to breath in a lung full of air without feeling heaviness in my chest."Are you okay? Do you need water? Do you need anything? Of course you need a bath. I'll run one for you ASAP." He gushed out in a single breath and retreated from the room in a rush. He even tripped on his way out of the room and chuckled nervously to alleviate his embarrassment.I wasn't sure as to what was

If you are following up on this book, which at this point, I doubt, I advise that you wait a bit for me to get over with an edit. This chapter is very rough and would make your eye twitch, however I want to submit a chapter today and get on to edit all the previous chapters altogethr. Here goes nothing. °°°°Mokunfayo Badmus:

Mokunfayo Badmus:With all the recent events going on around me, I didn't think anything anyone said could actually shock me anymore, but Mike's revelation totally threw me off guard and regardless of the fact that I'd already mentioned this over a thousand times, I knew other surprises could never hold a candle to this one. I was enthralled. "I…" I didn't know what to say. I was totally dumbstruck and my swaying announced that the shock was affecting me physically as well. "You should really rest your leg. You can't keep up with this position. Come, let me help you…" I didn't even know he had moved close enough until his right hand wrapped around my shoulders as he helped me steady. I wordlessly allowed him to steer me towards the seat I'd been so eager to vacate earlier and watched him carefully set me sideways on the couch, leaving my feet suspended in his hands. He only released the leg —unto is laps— after seating close to me, then he started to massage my injured foot gently.

Mokunfayo Badmus:I was still beyond surprised when I regained consciousness after what felt like days. But more than astonishment, I felt even more confusion.Mike wouldn't shoot me just for throwing him a birthday party even if he abhorred birthdays. There had to be some other reason.There had to be.Stop acting like you've known him all your life Mokunfayo Badmus! You've only known him for a few days. Snap out of delirium!Sigh.I finally decided to pay attention to my dressing and surroundings. I was wearing a blue hospital gown and in a room similar to the one I'd visited him in the night before, just a little bit smaller. Nothing interesting about it either; lean bed, white walls, bedside stool, single loveseat ...Trigger was asleep on the single loveseat. I was guessing he would at least put me out of my misery and explain what on earth

Mokunfayo Badmus:"Fay," he breathed out in the same amount of shock I felt.He recognised me too even if my mask was still on, my eyes were all he needed. He used to tell me how he could recognise me in a million people if he saw as least as my eyes. Turned out he hadn't been joking."The police have been searching all over the place for you!" I winced at the loudness in his tone and had no choice but to drag him to a secluded area to avoid more of the curious stares that were coming my way.I removed my mask when it was just us, making him gape for a moment before regaining composure."You've been all over the news lately." A lame way to start a conversation with someone you dumped over four years ago because she was raped. But I nodded all the same."What happened? I don't believe a word of what the media is saying." He said and suddenly encased me in a bone crushing bear hug. If I didn't know better,

Mokunfayo Badmus:Mike left for the bathroom after ordering breakfast with a clouded expression, a polar opposite of his infamous playful smirk he had on just moments ago.I could tell he also wasn't used to this whole... thing that was going on between us. It would be useless to lie to myself that I didn't feel attracted to the hot murderer in the adjoining room, however scary it was to admit it.The entire thing was scary, Richard had never calmed me down in the middle of my usual nightmares -well that was probably because I'd never slept over at his place- I'd never felt comfortable in Richard's arms to the point of craving it like I craved this man's.What is happening?! It's only been a frigging day!Well, so much had already happened from Saturday up until now, a Monday morning.And I was going to be stuck with him in the same room for God knows how long.Sigh.It wasn't going

Mokunfayo Badmus:I stood before a flushed, angry lord that was panting like an overworked horse. I would only be lying if I said I wasn't nervous."M–may I come in?" I stuttered with my heart in my mouth and he seemed to snap out of some sort of daze before nodding briskly.As I walked carefully towards the bed he laid on, I wished I had picked another time to visit, a time when I didn't have to face the aftermath of a ferocious argument between two proverbial elephantsThere was no proverbial grass nearby to suffer but me.Sigh.I perched on the bedside stool tentatively, fidgeting with my fingers, terribly wishing for a hole to crawl into. Then I noticed him trying to adjust his position and rushed to help. His sharp intake of air announced that I was doing what I wasn't meant to do."I–I'm so sorry, I thought you needed help," I choked out after withdrawi

Mokunfayo Badmus:As I followed a kinda stout but short guy with a bizarre name and a cast on his arm to the suite I was so glad to leave less than four hours ago, I tried to wrap my head around what'd happened earlier.Mike had saved me, the second time in like twenty four hours. Before he had saved my dignity –which I was ungrateful for– and now he'd put his life on the line to save mine, after I defied him and escaped his prison, which was now a safer place than the public.I had thought he was being overbearing and inconsiderate when he wanted to keep me for a little longer but now that I knew I was a fugitive and he only wanted me to stay hidden and be safe, I felt stupid.I had not only disobeyed him, I had also put him in harm's way.I know disobey is a strong word for what I did but that wasn't the point at the moment, he was hurt and I was the cause.Sigh."Will he be fine?"

Mokunfayo Badmus:It took all the self control I had in me not to scream and kick at the digital door after him. I was worried about getting to Bisi and all he cared about was a fucking meal?! Did I look hungry to him? Did he think I was going to eat anything he offered me in the stupid hell hole he held me captive in?!More than I was angry at him for being a total asshole, I was angrier at myself for letting him get to me. I'd woken up in his arms moments ago and I wasn't even a little bit scared even if I knew he could end my existence within the twinkle of an eye, I was comfortable instead.He was swiftly crumbling the firm resistance I had built over my emotions and I was feeling comfortable when I should be doing something about it.

Almighty Mike;"Should I take care of her?" The question rang out the moment the door finally slid shut. I blatantly ignored the owner of the voice and walked towards the elevator.Being the pest that he was, Fuhad followed immediately."Mike?""She's not a threat." I finally stated with a tone of finality, though I had a feeling that an earful of words I didn't want to hear would follow in quick succession."Seriously Mike?, she's going to file a case, is that not alarming enough?" And I wasn't wrong."She threatened to," I amended grumpily, "a tiny threat that is useless since she's and will continue to be under my shelter as a prisoner till we're convinced she doesn't pose a threat anymore.""Get a grip Mike you're seriously losing it, when did you begin to care about people?" He scoffed bitterly, definitely disgruntled by my unusual choice of a punishment.
