EROSI continued to stare at Davina as I wondered what was going on.I tried kissing her again, yet the same thing happened.For more than five minutes, I just stood there, staring at the lady in front of me.The more time I spent staring at her face, the more I regretted not reconciling with Sira.Strife isn't a good thing, yet we find it hard to let go and move on with life.We always held on to it like our second skin when there is a brighter side on the other end.If I had reconciled with Sira, the elders wouldn't have imposed anyone on me.It wasn't too late yet.There was still a glimmer of hope.“Hey, what are you staring at?” Davina asked as she leaned close.I took my eyes off her and turned aside.With each step she took towards me, I took two because I didn’t want to have contact with her.She irked me to the barest minimum, and I was ready to do whatever it takes to get rid of her.Suddenly, she flopped on the couch then buried her head in her thigh.I wondered what she wa
SIRAAfter Eros departure, mother walked in.She gave me a questioning look, which I pretended not to notice.Mom didn't buy my pretense, so she stomped towards the dining table I was leaning against and with her hand across her chest she asked,“What happened between both of you? It's barely up to a minute since you walked in, and now he is gone. What did you say to him, or what did he say to you?”I rolled my eyes at her question, but didn't say a word.“I'm speaking to you” mom yelled“Let me be. I have nothing to say to you” I yelled in return.I hated when mom tried to make me do things against my will.For crying out loud, I was grown up; hence I had the right to do whatever I wanted, how I wanted and when I wanted it.Before taking the decision to move in with her earlier that day, I had weighed the pros and cons.I knew we were going to be at loggerheads most times, but I had to give it a shot.Moreover, I didn't want anyone to barge into my home and start molesting me.I was
SIRAAlthough I was tipsy, I was still able to dance with Cansil just like the way other couples were doing.I soon got exhausted, and so I returned to the table we were occupying while Cansil disappeared into the crowd.He said he was going to use the restroom and would be back before I knew it.The more I looked at the bottle of half finished drink on the table, the more I felt the urge to empty it down my gullet.The only reason I didn't attempt it was because of the stories I had heard from party goers and also from my mom.When I was younger, mom always threw my unfinished drink if we left a table and each time she did that, I was always pissed.It was when she explained that some people have been drugged this way that I stopped being angry when she did this.I also did it to my friends so that they wouldn't be drugged too.Since Cansil had decided to spend the whole day in the restroom, I decided to take another bottle of liquor pending the time he would return.I ordered a new
EROSI felt a bit relieved after speaking with Sira on the phone.I could not wait for the dawn of the following day so that I would see her, and we would talk things over.She was the only hope left to save me from an almost useless Davina.While growing up, I used to see young girls from the elite's families signing up for culinary classes.Most times they turn out to be better cooks than those from the so-called middle-class family.If Davina's parents thought they did the right thing by hiring a maid, thereby depriving her of the opportunity to learn the basics of home keeping, they must be mistaken.It was too late now as she was already old.From her demeanor, I knew that learning culinary skills would be impossible because she had made up her mind to get a maid too.I hope she finds someone who will tolerate her.As for me, I doubt I would be able to do that.With my hands tucked in my pockets, I walked out of my room then headed to the kitchen to get a meal.The kitchen was ne
SIRAThese days, I have been so preoccupied that I don't have time for myself anymore, but I decided to make today different from the others.To achieve this, I woke up very early, then cleaned the whole house before mom woke up.I did the laundry and then proceeded to make a nice breakfast for us.When I was done, I grabbed my gym bag, then jogged all the way to the gym down the street for some morning workout.The workout was going to be strenuous because it had been a while since I last attempted it.“I will return by 9” I said aloud, struggling to keep up with the pace I had started out with.Instead of the usual ten minutes I always spent whenever I jogged to the gym, I spent an extra five minutes more.I fell on the gym floor immediately after I got in.“And where have you been?” Sammy, the gym instructor, asked as he towered above me.I was too tired to speak, so I decided to make use of gestures to communicate how drained I was.He got my words, then began to taunt me.At the
SIRAGrrr…My alarm clock rang, thereby interrupting my blissful sleep.I turned the clock off then tried to go back to sleep, but it was to no avail.I was fed up because I still wanted to sleep more.With a sour expression, I groped my way to my bathroom then did my morning routine as quickly as I could.On my return to my room, I decided to check my messages before going about my chores.“Sira” mom yelled just when I was about to click on a message from Karen.“Ma'am” I yelled in returnI was tempted to open her message but because I didn't want to scroll through thirty messages when I returned, I tossed my phone on my bed then walked towards the door.We were supposed to hang out yesterday, but because of Eros, I had canceled our meeting.I was certain she had flooded my phone with the pictures she and the girls took at the girl's night out that was held the previous day.I was about to walk into the living room when I bumped into mom, who was on her way to fetch me.“When are you
SIRAI was in my room, going through some certain things on my phone when I suddenly began to feel nauseous.Quickly, I rushed into the restroom to throw up, which I eventually did and it managed to get me confused.“What’s going on?” I couldn’t help but ask myself as I walked out of the bathroom slowly.I sat on a vacant chair as different thoughts ran through my head.I just couldn’t help but think that moment.Slowly, I got up and went straight to my closet, picking a blue baggy jeans and a red crop top.Different thoughts ran through my head, but I decided to go to the hospital so I could confirm if I was okay or not.“Why exactly am I suddenly feeling nauseous?” I couldn’t help but ask myself with a crumpled look.I shrugged and quickly dressed up, before I picked up my bag.Briskly, I walked out of my apartment and flagged down a cab as I headed straight to the hospital.The drive was just about ten minutes or so, but I didn’t know when I got to the hospital.On getting there, I
EROS POVThere was a yummy chicken Marsala placed before me. The aroma of the food was capable of sweeping you off your feet, but I wasn’t happy.In fact, I didn’t have any appetite to eat as I felt disappointed earlier today.“Why didn’t she want to see me?” I couldn’t help but ask myself as I remembered what happened exactly today.“She watched me leave, which is very unlike her?” I couldn’t help but ask myself in surprise.“Was Cansil there with her, and that was why she probably didn’t want to see me?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as different thoughts rummaged in my head.I kept on stirring the food before me, without making an attempt to eat it.“Your highness,” The new maid walked in, with a light smile on her face.I hissed lightly and shook my head, prepared to ignore her until she made the next statement.“Your highness, A lady is here to see you,” She said with a light smile, as I quickly turned to stare at her.“Who?” I couldn’t help but ask“She said her name was Sira?
SIRADriving down there was the hardest thing ever for me at this moment, I hated the guilt that filled me as his scent filled that call, it was there every where it was infinitely him. How I was suffocated in hisspace in a way I couldn’t find unpleasant.I drove with caution and speed, already my phone was ringing and looking at it, it was him.I tore my gaze from the phone, I didn't want the situation where he would show up and ruin thing's.My hand fit the wheel, as I sat in the driver’s seat with an unpretentious confidence and courag, I was driving crazily, I drove above the speed limit as if to maintain the façade that I was really scared.The wind pulsed through me and the music it played in my ears was melancholic.It reminded me of the soft sound of fabric hitting the floor in death, or the sound Of teeth on the nape of ma neck, the tug of my hair and strangle.What ever way it came to my mind, the wind reminded me of death.My pulse drifted between my heart as I felt i
SIRAAt first when he talked about seeing me the previous night my heart had skipped, for some funny reason I knew that Cansil coming here could spell trouble for the little bit of peace that was around.Mu heart still felt heavy, in a way I couldn't change the fact that I had been trailed here just last night.That bit of darkness was still around me unwilling to depart, it was as though enveloping everything that had for do with my soul at that moment.While all of this is going on, he came in with another bad newsWhat?It was hard to believe what had just happened under our own noses, my finger's were literally trembling.It meant no one was saved, I was starting to think this had to do with both Davina and Neara, but at the moment I know that bringing that up would disrupt anything that was going on at the moment.I could not think about what to do about the whole situation, I was confused about what to do and how we were going to go about it."Are you sure of what you are sayi
EROSThe next two weeks were all about Sira and me. We spent every moment ofevery day together. I was letting her in slowly into my life In a way I never thought possible.At that moment she was no longer Sira the maid, she was more precious to me than even that, She practically moved into my room at first I thought I was mean to her by taking her phone, so as the days proceeded I handed it back to herShe was over.every night and I loved it. I knew it was still very important for me to connect with her as I could picture myself starting a family already—She was carrying my child anyways.At that moment , I felt everything was perfect. It suddenly seemed like all I had to do was trust her, it seemed like the missing piece, perhaps if I had dropped my pride at the beginning, it would have been so easy for me to deal with.And yes, her mother came in once in a while. Suddenly it looked like I was standing right at the end of the tunnel with the light all shining down right at my fac
SIRASeeing no one I hastened my step, I could literally feel the sound coming from my heart as it was heavy with a thundering sound.“Who is there?” I breathed.I directed a sarcastic gaze at the dark part of the wood.As the hour minute ticked I could hear it in my heart, I took steps back cautious that I wasn't alone.The words I was going to say were pierced in my chest. I knew it had to be something out there or someone… It hurts all the same, the manner at which my heart was beating.A frustrated sound traveled up my throat, but I kept it locked in. It was better to be quiet than having any emotions at the moment. I avoided the gaze into the dark, though it burned me deep in my soul.The Pressure in me burst into tingles and flame. My veins burned up like a line of fire willing to ignite shooting flames of light behind my eyes.A shudder fluttered through my body as anxiety poured through my bloodstream, before a languid heat spread.As I calm down, I realized my leg wa
SIRA POV.I stood still, obviously shocked, this was obviously what I dreaded the most.I really don’t like Eros and Cansil meeting each other, because it doesn’t end well.“So this is it Sira?” He asked me with a very annoyed glare which managed to send chills down my spine.“You should mind the way you speak to her,” Cansil stepped in and that was when Eros faced him with an irritated look.“And who invited you?” Eros demanded with rage written all over his face.“You can’t just speak to Sira anyhow in my presence and expect me to keep quiet,” Cansil said without an ounce of fear, and Eros glared at him angrily.When all these was happening, I just kept mute and watched them bicker.I stared at Eros deeply, and I managed to figure out that he was very jealous.His face showed how bitter he felt at that moment when he saw I and Cansil together.He quickly turned to look at me, and his stares that moment felt like......It felt like he was suspecting me and was also beginning to doubt
SIRA Bright Light struck my eyes followed by a loud honk. I shut my eyes due to the immense pain I felt and by the time I opened it, I noticed a man staring at me.Soon, I guessed it was the cab I ordered. I wanted to give him a scolding of his life but not while I was standing on the walkway by the roadside so I took my seat and told him my destination.As soon as the car took off, I began lamenting.“Do you want to get me blind?” I spoke authoritatively.The next thing that followed was an immediate and reckless halting of the car. He stepped on the break not caring if I was going to bang my head against the seat.“Now you want to end my life?” I uttered, angrily this time.He turned to face me as he soon gave a reply, “I did what I did so you’d notice I already came to pick you up sooner if your eyes weren’t glued to your phone and so I had no other choice than to flash my car lights at you.”After saying this, he rudely just turned on the engine and continued driving without even
