2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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.

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

Tobi stared at me and sat beside me. “I knew you were pregnant.” He said.I looked at him shocked, how did he know?“How did you know?” I asked.He pressed his lips together before staring at me again.“Symptoms, you were showing pregnancy and symptoms and I got sure of it when the house helper got your trash from your bathroom.” He replied.The pregnancy test, I should have thrown it somewhere elseI remained quiet until Tobi’s phone rang and he stood up. ‘I just went out to pick Andrea up, we’re on our way now.’ He said and put back his phone in his pocket.He looked at me.“We have to go, they’re waiting for us.” He said.I nodded and walked towards his car.When we reached their house, lights and music could be heard from the outside. Cars were packed outside their home, guests must have arrived already.We were greeted by Tobi’s

I glanced at Tobi who was now staring at her jumping sister.Tobi was just staring at her.“Fine fine, you’re having a niece so shut the fuck up and leave. Don’t tell anyone about it,” Tobi said.Tobi’s sister smiled and pretended to zip her mouth.“Secrets are safe with me.” She said and left the room.I looked at Tobi who is now looking at me.“What did you lie to her?” I asked.He looked at me and pressed his lips together.“It’s better this way, do you want them to know that you got pregnant by a married guy? Can you handle the stress?” He replied.He’s right, it’s better this way.“But this is wrong, you’re claiming a child that is not yours, I’m becoming a burden to you,” I said,“We’re bound to get married anyway.” He said and left me in the room.Morning came and I was staring at myself in th

Before she could slap me again, Tobi interfered. He was now holding the girl’s hand.“What do you think you’re doing?” Tobi yelled at the girl.The girl looked at me and then at Tobi.“She stole you from me,” She said,Tobi’s jaw tightened when this couple of girls took the girl away. It looks like they were friends with her.“Are you alright?” He asked.I unconsciously nodded at him.People from the cafeteria were looking at us, making me bow down my head. I hate it when people stare at me.“Can we leave?” I asked Tobi. &ldq

Today is graduation day, and people are flocked to the school right now. Everyone is anticipating their moment in walking down the stage with their diplomas in their hands.“Can you at least smile?” Rachel said.We are now seated at the student's section, while our parents watch on the benches.“I’m not really feeling good right now, I just want this to finish and go home,” I replied.Rachel shook her head while Maria handed me a bottle of water.“Keep yourself hydrated,” She said then leaned into my ears. “There’s a baby in your belly.”I nodded and drank from the bottle of water.Moments later, I was called on stage to give my summa cum laude speech but I didn’t have one.So I made the speech short.“I hope that each of you, my fellow classmates, blockmates, schoolmates, and friends will have a wonderful life ahead of you. Congratulations everyone!”Tobi

Balesin is nice and while traveling to our accommodation for the next few days. I was able to see some of the things, I will be able to try on later.This is my first time here.Tobi is driving the golf cart, while I sit beside him.“Don’t carry anything,” Tobi said when we reached our accommodation.I sulked upon seeing our bags in the back of the golf cart. There were too many but Tobi wouldn’t let me carry one.“Why is there only one bed?” I asked upon seeing the bed.He placed our bags in the cabinet and glanced at me.“Why are you asking me? I’m not the one who booked the villa.” He said, then went out again.Moments later, we were greeted by the staff of the island and the head manager. Turns out, Tobi’s parents are close friends with the owners.“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to tell us.” the head manager said,I smiled.“Can you pl

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
