When I woke up I was so shocked to find myself in a different room. I immediately looked at myself to see if I still had clothes and thank god I was still wearing the same clothes.
I tried to stand up but stopped when I felt the handover came in, my whole fucking head hurts. Damn this hangover.
“Good Morning,”
I almost jumped out of bed because of shock.
“Tobi?”
I was about to speak again but he threw a paper bad at me. “What’s this?”
“Clothes.”
I took a peek at what is inside, my eyes widened when I saw undergarments.
“There’s the CR. Feel free to use anything,”
I felt the world collapsed.“He’s what?”Tobi stared at me. “He’s married, Andrea.”I turned my gaze to Calvin, his eyes were watering.At that moment, I did calculations on myself. He wanted no know to know about our relationship, he hid me. He never posted pictures of me.I closed my eyes for a second.“Calvin, please tell me Tobi’s lying. He’s not telling the truth right?”I was praying for him to say no, to say that Tobi’s making things up. He can’t be married, he can’t have a wife because he promised to me that I’ll be the person he’ll
The next day I didn’t bother getting out of bed. I was awake but stayed in bed until late noon although this wasn’t my place, no one bothered me until past noon.“Are you gonna stay there until you starve?”Someone said.I didn’t speak nor move.He looked at me and said. “Will you not really get up on your own?”I nodded.I was shocked when he pulled the duvet away from me.“What is your problem?” I complained.“Get up.” He said and left the room.I was forced to get u
It wasn’t easy to forget but I did everything I could to avoid Calvin, I would go to school early and in the meantime, I stayed in my parent's house.House helpers were shocked to see me arrive at our house with all the luggage with me.The landlord of the apartment I’ve rented near the school called me several times informing me that Calvin is always there waiting for me. Sometimes he would even stay until the next morning, hoping to see me.“What’s with the sullen look?”I glanced at Rachel.I smiled at her. “I look sad but I’m okay, a little bit more space and I’ll eventually reach the destination.”Maria hugged me.Rachel stood up. “Why are we making this a drama, since there are no classes for the rest of the day. Let’s go shopping.”Maria and I laughed, before we could respond to Rachel’s suggestion she dragged us with her.When we arrived at the Mall, we
Morning came and rumors flew so fast. The moment I stepped foot on the school premises, eyes were watching me and added to the fact that Tobi is walking by my side.“Why did you have to go with me?”He looked at me with bored eyes. “Who decided to sleep again in our house?”I suddenly looked around, roamed my eyes around just in case someone heard what he said. I glanced at him again and took notice of the wood near his lip and cheek.“Are you okay?” I asked.He nodded without looking at me.I was about to speak again when someone yelled my name and it was Rachel.“Andrea.”I turned my gaze at Rachel, and she was running towards me.“Bitch, I came from your apartment. No one is there, where did you sleep?” She asked and looked at me intently.I remained quiet and as if on cue she looked at the guy standing beside me, it was Tobi.“Oookay. You don’t have to t
The whole ride going to my apartment was extremely quiet, Tobi didn’t speak neither did I.My parents insisted that I should ride with them but I said no.I wanted to be left alone for the night and also talk to Tobi.“We’re here.” He said.I faced him.“Did you know about this?” I asked.He didn’t speak, he remained quiet.I pressed my lips together.“Tobi, I’m asking you. Did you know about this arranged marriage?”Tobi still didn’t speak.“Tobi!” I yelled his name.How can he remain quiet in this kind of situation?It’s frustrating.He looked at me.“If I knew, what could possibly happen? What will change?” He asked.“Even if we're classmates. If you knew about this beforehand, you could have at least told me.”He gripped the steering wheel so tight.“Andrea, listen to me. If you thin
I got used to Tobi being around with me almost most of the time. He’s like everywhere but sometimes Tobi would deny my existence from time to time.Maria and Rachel still don't know that after graduation I’m supposed to get married to Tobi.“Are you dropping me off today?” I asked Tobi.We were seatmates today in this particular class.“No, you’re staying in our place again.” He replied.“What do you mean?” I asked.He’s still reading his book, while talking to me.“Your parents informed me that they’ll be leaving the country again, they want you to stay at o
Rachel laughed when she saw me choking on my own drink, while Tobi on the other hand remained calm and handed me some tissues.Maria is just shaking her head in disbelief.“What the fuck are you talking about, Rachel?” I yelled at her.She was still laughing so hard that I had to throw some bread at her.She’s so annoying.Tobi stood up and left when his phone rang.“I’ll be back.” He said.I nodded at her and glanced at Rachel.“Have you gone nuts, Rachel? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I said,Rachel stopped herself from laughing.“I was just asking since you’ve been sleeping here for the past few days.” She replied.Maria smacked her head out.“Oww. What the fuck.” Rachel complained.“Can you please at least filter the words that are coming out of your mouth? This is Tobi’s place, learn to respect.” Maria said.Ra
What Maria told me kept on running through my mind. It’s been so long since the last time I had sex with Calvin and I didn’t have sex with anyone else.It’s impossible.“What is wrong with you?” Tobi asked while he was driving.I’m in the shotgun seat, trying to calm myself down.“Can we stop by in a pharmacy along the way?” I asked.He looked at me with his forehead creased.“Are you sick or something?” He asked.I shook my head.“I just have to buy something there,” I replied.Tobi stopped the car in a nearby pharmacy outside their neighborhood. He was about to get off too but I stopped him.“Just stay here please, this will be quick,” I said and ran towards the pharmacy.I hurriedly grabbed the pregnancy kits on the aisle cabinet and paid them to the cashier.“What did you buy?” Tobi asked when I got inside his car.I gri
For the next few days, I didn’t bother going out of the house. I was scared of going outside, and the fact that I might bump into Calvin out of nowhere.“Will you be going out today?” He asked.I immediately shook my head in response. “No, I’ll just stay at home.” I replied before laying back again in bed.These days I’ve been experiencing way more painful backaches because of the pregnancy hormones.“Do you plan on just staying at home for the rest of your pregnancy?” Tobi asked as he wore his office coat.I nodded willingly.Tobi then pulled me out of the bed, I ended up on his chest. Then there it was again, the beating feeling of my heart.“Get dressed.” He said. “I’ll bring you with me to the office today.” Tobi said before pushing me inside the walk-in closet.Even though I didn’t want to come with him, I had no choice but to obey him. He won’t stop bugging me until I say ‘yes’ to his plans.When we reached the building, some of the employees were standing outside the building p
Who would have thought that Tobi would bring a smile onto my face. I would smile a little every time he would ask the salesperson about this certain furniture for the nursery room.“Do you have this in a neutral color?” He asked.“Yes.” the salesperson replied.Tobi smiled then moved his gaze at me. “What do you think? Do you think we should get this now?” He asked.I nodded at him and he smiled at me.“We’ll get this one.” Tobi then continued on browsing that nursery section.We were both quietly roaming around the shopping mall when someone hastily approached us. I looked at Tobi confused,“How have you been, Tobi?” He asked.I pressed both of my lips together then I felt Tobi tighten his hold onto my waist, he then smiled at the guy who is right in front of us.“I’m fine bro.” He replied. “What are you doing here?” Tobi asked.“I’m checking out the stores, it’s been a while since the last time I became hands on with the company.” He explained before turning his gaze at me. “This mi
My forehead creased upon seeing two queen beds in the master’s bedroom. When Tobi entered the master’s bedroom.I moved my gaze towards him.“What exactly is the meaning of this?” I asked, confused.He looked at me confused.“What do you mean?” Tobi asked.I pressed both of my lips together. “I mean, why are we having two beds in the master's bedroom? Are we supposed to have separate beds?”Tobi’s forehead creased even more but he eventually nodded then explained. “We both know that we didn’t want to get married to each other and I totally understand that, that’s why I purposely told the interior designer to put two beds in the master’s bedroom.”“Why?” I asked.He looked shocked after hearing what I just said.“What do you mean, why? He asked back as he put books on the shelves.I sat on one of the beds and stared at him.“How can we make this marriage work, if you're purposely having your distance from me?” I asked while moving my gaze away from him.We were both quiet for the next
When I got near Tobi, he’s forehead creased upon looking at me. He pressed both of his lips together then pulled me into his embrace.He then whispered onto my ears.“What the hell are you wearing right now?” Tobi asked.I just shrugged at him.“I don’t know, this was on the hanger for the reception outfit.” I simply replied. He closed both of his eyes for a brief moment before whispering again onto my ears.“It’s very low, I could see the guys peeking right at your boobs. Who the fuck designed this gown?” He asked as if he was losing his patience.I moved my gaze towards the crowd and saw Tobi’s friends staring at the both of us.“Your mother, she was the one who designed and chose this gown.” I replied as both of our parents walked their way towards us.I plastered a big smile.Tobi then uttered a few words about the long gown I was wearing to his mother. Specifically the fact that he didn’t like the design of it.“Mother, why on earth would you design this kind of dress? Have you f
Today is the day, the big day came and everyone was so excited. I was fidgeting since I couldn’t handle the pressure I’m having right now.“Can you please calm the fuck down? Tobi won’t be the one running away from you, we’re both more worried about you, we think you’ll be the one running away.” Rachel uttered.I glared at her.“I don’t have any plans on running away. I’m scared that something might happen unexpectedly.” I replied.She chuckled then fixed the end of the wedding gown, laying it down flat on the floor. The wedding gown is so long that I had to literally wear it inside the church.I couldn’t ride the car while I was wearing the wedding gown, I won’t be able to fit inside the wedding car.“Just take a deep breath, you don’t have to think about anything else. Alright?” Maria said.I both nodded at them as I calmed myself down.Minutes la
Tobi continued to be busy with the things he’s doing for the company but would make sure that he would have time for me and the baby.“Will you just be staying at home today?” He asked.I nodded.“Yeah, but if something comes on. I’ll inform you.” I replied back to him. Tobi nodded before kissing me in the forehead and taking his leave.He’s been doing that since we started to be more open with each other and I find it cute sometimes for no reason at all.Our wedding is also getting near four days from now.My mouth agape seeing how Maria and Rachel showed up once again in the doorsteps, carrying all these kinds of fruit baskets.“Don’t you both have jobs or work to attend to? Why are you always here?” I asked them to take a seat in the lounging area near the backyard.Rachel smiled at me.“We are just enjoying your company while you’re still single. Have you forgotte
What happened yesterday with my encounter with one of the few people who knows about my previous relationship with Calvin, makes the world smaller.I told Tobi I wanted to rush the wedding as soon as possible because I was scared of people eventually knowing that the child I'm having is Calvin.“What are your plans for today?” He asked.I turned my gaze towards him and smiled.“Nothing much, I might just stay at home for the rest of the day.” I replied.Tobi nodded before finally wearing his office coat.“Alright, inform me if you’re going somewhere.” He said before exiting the bedroom. I watched as he left the room and closed the bedroom doors.Minutes later, when I got downstairs surprisingly Tobi was still there having breakfast. I joined by sitting right beside him.Both of his parents were having breakfast also.“Good Morning, Andrea.” Tobi’s Mom greeted me.I smiled at
I gulped seeing how he stared at me.“Thank you,” Tobi uttered then smiled at me. “Why are you giving me things? Do you have plans to run away from me, is that it?” He jokingly said.I rolled my eyes.“What are you saying, I'm giving you things because I'm trying to accommodate your presence in my life now,” I explained.He nodded then continued on eating the food that I had brought while I just remained to stare at him.“I heard you went out with your mother today, did you go with the enchanted them I told you about?” Tobi asked.I nodded.“Yeah, it’s funny actually,” I said.His forehead creased at me.“What’s funny?” Tobi asked, confused.I chuckled. “It’s because I was actually thinking about the enchanted theme and personally I wanted to have that theme but I needed your response first and thank god, you choose the enchanted theme too
I gulped nervously because of what's happening right now but before I could respond Tobi came back inside.“There’s nothing outside, Dad. It’s just some delusional human being trying to create chairs.” He said. Tobi’s Dad nodded before going back inside his study room. I fell down on the floor immediately after hearing the door close at Tobi’s Dad study room.“Are you okay?” Tobi asked and I nodded at him.I closed my eyes for a bit before trying to stand up. He immediately went near me when I was about to lose balance yet again.“Let’s have you eat your dinner first before taking a rest.” He said then carried me towards the dining table in bridal style. I blushed when the house helpers started giggling when they saw both of us.He then put me down and asked the house helper for a hot soup and a bowl of rice. “I won’t be eating rice tonight. I’m still full from the food we ate hours ago.” I said and Tobi immediately shook his head at me.“No, you have t
