"What the heck?" I gasped, covering my mouth as I watched the display. Touching my head for a second and tightening my fist, I shrugged and went out of where I stood. As I walked past them, they looked up at me, and with a smile on their face, they returned to their act. I shook my head, as I stepped out. "Who are you to judge? Are you not in the same category as them? Doing some shit under your mom's nostrils," a voice in my head mocked. "The fuck! Shut up! " I let out slamming my forehead. I took a pause and went out of the gate. While outside the gate, I sat by a side bench and stared at the sky, taking in silent breaths as I tried to process the recent speedy happenings in my life right from the beginning when I hated Aiden with passion and the part where I fell in love with him unknowingly. "It's all messed up," I let out covering my face. "But I love him...and I'm sure he does!" I soliloquised. "I'm just fucking tired of Mrs Cassandra! I'm fucking tired of every fuck
"I make you not feel okay right?" Mrs Cassandra whispered, moving her fingers on my lips and opening it slowly, her eyes tracing the line of my lips. It felt like I was in hallucinations, more like I was high in weeds or something. Like sirens in my head, I could hear her voice echoing, "I want to kiss you so bad" I held my breath without a response to what she said. As if she took my silence for a yes, she inched her lips closer to mine that there was nearly no gap between them. She shut her eyes and my eyes widened, with my heart beating with the speed of the light, I don't know when I lifted my hands and blasted it on her face. "Stop! Just stop!" I forced my voice out while she held her cheeks with surprise. "What... happened to you?" Mrs Cassandra asked, more like she was trying to play the pity card cause I won't take that as a form of care. More like a new wave of energy just gushed through me, I rebutted, "You know what is wrong with me Mrs Cassandra? What is wrong with
I sat on my bed thinking about my life and what I am living for. I am mentally drained from the death of my father. I still can't believe it is real. It all started on this rainy day, I wasn't at home the day it happened. I was at Jamila's place.When I came back from Jamila's place my Mom told me, she heard a knock on the door and when she opened the door, It was a soldier who came to announce to us that my dad, her husband was dead. He told my mom that my dad had died at the war front.Mom and I cried our eyes out and I cried my eyes out too because how was I going to survive and now I don't have a daddy? My dad was my best friend and lover and now he is gone. I felt really sad. How was I going to cope? I just hope everything worked out well because it's all draining.My door creaked open revealing my mom Mrs Rita. "Becky, dress up quick, we are going to Emily's place. Her mom just called to tell you that Jamila is sick. Be quick, let's go and visit her." "What's wrong with her
I was made to believe in love, Xavier made me madly in love. I loved him so much and guessed he loved me as much as I loved him.After all the love and sweeteners and cinnamon, I caught him cheating on me on this blessed day. I did not believe my eyes because it seemed unbelievable.It may sound unbelievable to you or maybe not because maybe you have been in my position before. LOL, cry me a river because of some child called a boyfriend.That blessed day, I suggested that we should go meet up and at least have fun because I missed him and badly wanted to see him, which he obliged.He said he was busy and wouldn't have the time for the fun I needed. When I asked him what was keeping him busy, he hesitated for a while before telling me that he had an academic project to handle and that the deadline was close.That answer he gave and the way he hesitated before answering made me feel he was lying and making up because maybe I don't know. It's all past, dead and gone.But still, I persis
As I stepped out of the house, I had this feeling of weakness to go back inside and sleep or maybe watch TikTok videos or read a book.As I stepped into the hood with no place in mind to go, I decided to go to where my spirit would lead me.I took steps as I walked along the alley. I finally decided to order an Uber. I clicked on my Uber app and ordered a ride. A few minutes later the Uber arrived and I hopped in. Still without an idea of where to go. I finally decided to go to the Cinema to watch a movie and chill down with an ice cream or popcorn.The driver drove really fast and soon we arrived there. I stepped into the Cinema, bought a ticket, and jolted down into the Cinema seat.At first, I didn't notice that everyone was in two's. As I looked around, everyone at the Cinema sat with partners making me remember Xavier. I immediately pushed away the thoughts, after all, he was busy.After thirty minutes of watching the movie, my belly started sprouting with pain. I decided to u
Her eyes met my eyes, she didn't move for a minute, and the shocked, stricken look in her eyes grew more intense but she laughed and walked towards me smiling, " Hey...Baby, what are you doing here?" She asked me and turned to look at Xavier who stood with me.I kept mute and looked at her and Xavier once again before I spoke." I came to chill, you know see the movies", I feigned a chuckle.Then I directed the question to both of them "So what are you two doing here?" I said, maintaining a calm voice free of suspicion from my angle."Well, I just met Xavier here.. and it's quite a coincidence that you are here too," She said, still smiling at me as I wondered where she got the nerve to betray me, lie in my presence, and still smile while maintaining a poker face."Well, it's really a coincidence. Bye," I turned myself and decided to walk out but Jamie grabbed me from behind trying to talk to me." Wait, Becky..." She called my real name which she rarely called." Is there anything you
I quickly walked away and my chest churned with pain, this pain was no ordinary pain It was pain from something I couldn't tell. Maybe it was called love.I did not go back to the movie hall again, I went out straight out and ordered a ride back home. While inside the Uber, I tried to hold back the tears from coming out of my eyes. I blinked over a million times, I wished the speed of the vehicle was like the speed of light, and in the blink of an eye, I would be home.But no!! The ride took an eternity.Finally, I got home after a long ride. I got into the house to see my mom preparing my favorite meal, sushi rolls and soy sauce. The aroma of the food filled everywhere, almost blocking my nostrils."Hey, Becky you home?" My mom asked when she raised her head to see me open the door.I replied, "Yes ma'am". My voice could be barely heard."How'd your day go?" She continued to spark up a conversation but my soul was too troubled and angry to speak.I was angry, anger is an understate
" So please get the fuck out of my door, life, and house," I commanded and yelled at the top of my voice. I don't know if he stood there hearing me or if he left with anger to meet my mom.After I spoke abusively to Mr Aiden, I fell asleep for a while and woke up from the sound of a bottle that fell outside my room. I got up from the bed and checked my phone. I opened it and saw message notifications from my ex-boyfriend. It's over a month now and he is still pleading for forgiveness.I read the message and left it on read. I took steps to the door, forgetting about what had happened earlier. My eyes averted to the wall clock in my room, it was eight o'clock in the evening. I opened my door and took lazy steps to the kitchen, I reached for the fridge and brought out the ice cream I forgot I had not finished and I began taking scoops.While eating, I remembered that I had not had a proper conversation with my mom throughout the day. I decided to get up and go to her room and talk t
