………we dropped Seline at the hotel and went straight to the club. Sweet wanted to get wasted tonight, maybe the alcohol would work it’s magic in helping him forget what it felt like when they hugged. F***k !! he didn’t know why he called her his drug Damn!! He’s already an addict cus’ now he needs more As Sweet got into the club, he swung into action, enjoying the night as much as he wanted. He needed enough alcohol in his system. His vision was becoming blurry and he knew he needed to return to his hotel room. As he stood up from his chair he staggered and mixed a few steps. Thank goodness he had his private security with him. As he got off the lift and entered his room he thought …arghh! The sunlight is not helping the migraine he feels right now He saw this beauty sleeping peacefully with her head on his arms, Sweet robbed his sleepy eyes with his free hand again. He took a close look again Seline! Sweet jerked up at alert as he came to the consciousness of the situation be
The evening was awash in a warm, golden hue as Sweet and Seline made their way to the event. The city of Atlanta had come alive with the anticipation of the show, and the streets buzzed with energy. Yet, in the car, a heavy silence hung between them. Sweet's mind was preoccupied with the upcoming performance, the weight of expectation, and the nagging jealousy he had felt over the past few weeks.Seline, on the other hand, was keenly aware of the tension in the air. She had sensed Sweet's unease, and although she wanted to ease his worries, she also felt a flutter of excitement about the night ahead.The car glided smoothly through the city streets, but Sweet's thoughts were far from the passing scenery. He couldn't help but be distracted by Seline's presence beside him. Her perfume, a delicate and intoxicating blend of floral and citrus notes, enveloped him, and its fragrance seemed to infiltrate his thoughts, making it hard to concentrate on anything else.Unbeknownst to Sweet, he w
The evening had arrived, and Seline found herself seated beside Sweet in a sleek black car, en route to the exclusive restaurant where the event was to take place. The atmosphere inside the car was charged with anticipation, but Marcus seemed preoccupied, lost in his thoughts. He had noticed something about Seline that evening, something that had captured his attention from the moment they had left the hotel. Seline's choice of perfume that night was intoxicating, its subtle notes filling the car and clouding Sweet's mind. He couldn't quite place the scent, but it was a delicate blend of florals and spices that seemed to dance in the air around her. It was a fragrance unlike any he had encountered before, and it had a mesmerizing effect on him. As they drove through the city streets, Sweet found himself distracted, his thoughts drifting back to Seline and her enchanting perfume. He barely noticed when the taxi came to a halt, lost in a reverie induced by her presence. Seline, on the
The jet lag had an effect on Seline as she slept off as soon as her head touched the pillow of her hotel room. It was so comfy that she forgot to unpack. He smiled at her like she was the only human existing in the world “you look beautiful” She blushed at his comment as he moved closer to her drawing her to his side as he placed a kiss on her forehead. Seline! Seline!! She felt someone shook her. She slowly opened her eyes and was met with a beautiful set of eyes She blinked twice to make sure she wasn’t still dreaming. She jerked up as she came to consciousness moving away from Sweet as far as her leg could carry her. Sweet was surprised at her reaction but got straight to the reason why he woke her up. “we have an outing this evening with the organizers and other celebrities” “please look good,” he said placing emphasis on the last statement. As Sweet was about to leave, he turned and stole a glance at her then shut the door after him. Seline was confused at his last act
Three weeks had passed since the awkward encounter with King and Madam Christiana. At that time, Seline's life had taken an unexpected turn. She was now preparing to accompany Marcus Sweet to his show in Atlanta, a journey she couldn't have imagined just a few weeks ago. It hadn't been easy to convince her mother, who had initially been skeptical about the idea. But Seline had managed to sway her by offering to pay for a change of apartment, something her mother had been wanting for a long time. Her mother's approval came with a mix of apprehension and pride, knowing that her daughter was taking a significant step in her life. Meanwhile, Sweet had noticed a change in Seline's behavior over the past few weeks. She seemed to be speaking to someone else on the phone frequently, and it piqued his curiosity. He couldn't help but wonder who had captured Seline's attention and why she was keeping it a secret. As Seline sat in her new apartment, a cozy one-bedroom space with modern furnishi
As she walked down the street, she thought about what happened in Sweet’s house trying to convince her that it was none of her business but the truth was, she felt a little sting in her chest and she couldn’t say why she felt annoyed at the sudden visit of his ex. “What does she want?” “Why can’t she just go?” Questions kept running through her mind while she walked to the extent she was caught off guard after she realized she had walked past the turn to the street that led to her house. As she quickly retraced her steps and walked towards her house, she saw a very expensive-looking car parked outside the gate: usually on this side of Lagos, it is hard to find such. As she drew closer to the wing of the building where her flat was located, it became more evident they had visitors over as her mum’s voice could be heard clearly throwing orders at her younger siblings. In haste to know who these visitors were, she stepped into the house to find out it was some strange woman from her
Sweet stood in his well-appointed living room, checking his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. He was expecting Seline, his PA, to arrive soon for a private conversation he had been rehearsing in his mind. He had carefully planned his words, wanting to make amends for his impulsive behavior. He had no intention of letting his actions cast a shadow over their professional relationship. As he waited, his thoughts were consumed by the conflict of emotions that had been churning within him. He had been navigating a delicate dance between his newfound feelings for Seline and his determination to maintain professionalism. The apology he had written was a testament to his commitment to setting things right. Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a sudden knock on the door jolted him from his reverie. Frowning, he crossed the room and opened the door, only to be met with a sight that caught him off guard. Standing before him was Mandy, his ex-girlfriend, someone he hadn't seen in mon
As Seline stepped into the cab, her mind was a whirlwind of emotions. The encounter with Marcus Sweet had left her in a state of confusion, her heart racing from the unexpected closeness they had shared. Her fingers instinctively touched the spot on her waist where he had held her, still feeling the lingering tingle that seemed to echo his touch. The cab's engine hummed to life, the gentle vibrations providing a backdrop to her racing thoughts. She gave the driver her address but found herself lost in a sea of contemplation, her mind unable to settle on any one thought. What had prompted Sweet to hold her that way? Was it just another one of his mind games, or was there something deeper that she couldn't comprehend? The city lights passed by in a blur as the cab journeyed through the streets, each turn a reflection of the twists in her mind. She tried to analyze her feelings, to decipher the complex web of emotions that Sweet seemed to awaken within her. She had always respected him
“We’ll get back to you”This is the fifth time she has heard this statement in the past three weeks of job hunting. ….“What is the essence of going to the university when all you get as a reward was unemployment and frustrating application processes,” she thought while walking on the street with a folder containing my credentials securely held to her side.The typical life of a Nigerian graduate was frustrating she thought as she kept walking, but got lost in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the black Toyota Prado that was coming out from a building. At the sound of the 𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘬, she snapped out of her thoughts and, quickly crossed to the other side of the road and boarded my next bus home, she was so done with this frustrating job hunt."Conductor gives me change nah!" a woman at the back of the bus called out.She was quiet throughout the whole ride dreading the nightmare she called home, from her mum who pick a fight with her at the slightest chance to get an excuse to...
