"Oh shit!" I exclaimed to no one in particular.
After much deliberation between myself, I concluded that I should check my messages first.
First was from Tenda
Babyboo: Merry christmas crazy bitch, It read.Hey, you aren't replying.Haven't woken up? And don't lie, I know you can still be sleeping.I rolled my eyes at her messages and decided to put her out of her mysery by replying.
Merry Christmas to you too baby, and no, I'm not still sleeping, I just came back from church.

She laughed as she ran over to where they stood and embraced them while they each gave her a kiss on the cheek."How are your parents and siblings, by the way aren't they supposed to be here with you? Mom asked while her eyes searched around to check if she could spot them."Yeah, where's my brother and that beautiful mother of yours," Dad added, as he too looked around."They would be here tomorrow," Dora said in reply to both their questions with a smile. "I couldn't wait, so I left earlier""Well well, if it isn't the goat," Elvis voice boomed from above us as he descended the stairs."Bro, bro! My money brother." She exclaimed in excitement before she pulled him in for a hug."How have you been goat." He laughed and ruffled her tightly braided hair."Ouch, stop that, it hurts," She spoke after which she disentangled herself from the embrace and swatted his palm off her hair."It hurt that bad? He chuckled."Yes." She pout

Joanna's POVWe all piled into Tony and Harmony's car before we headed straight to the Shoprite mall.In no time we arrived at the building's parking lot, after which we then shuffled out of the seperate cars and stepped into the air-conditioned interior."I fvcking missed this!" Dora exclaimed with a sigh as she took in the high shelves lined with shoes, clothes, bags and many other accessories, this made Tenda break out in a laugh while Ifeanyi murmured something about how he forgot his jacket at my house."Let's stroll and see if we could spot Elvis first." Blake spoke, to which I gave him a questioning look."He texted me about it earlier," He said in reply to the look I gave him before he turned and walked ahead but not before Dora latched onto his arm like her life depended on it.I shook my head in amusement after I stood there and

Frank's POV.I was a little pissed when she didn't pick my calls, but I told myself that there must have been a reason.When she called, I was ready to bark out in anger but all that melted when I heard her voice which showed that I was totally whipped.When Elvis called me and decided to hang out I was happy because I was done staying at home.Even when I was with Elvis earlier, my mind kept going back to her and how I couldn't wait to see her.When Elvis left me hanging I was bored, until I spotted Blake and Dora which made me remember what Ifeanyi had said earlier about him and his friends going to the mall.Looking around now, seeing everyone laughing, most especially the smile on her face really made my Christmas.Joanna's POVChrist

Joanna's POVHarmony laughed this time but didn't look back, which was a mistake on his part because the next thing he knew was my weight on him before we both crashed to the ground."What the f---" He blurted but didn't finish what he was about to say due to my hand that grabbed his left cheek and twisted it."Please stop bestie, stop! I'm sorry," He cried in a muffled tone due to my hand that still held his left cheek."You thought you could steal my food and get away with it huh? You of all people should know better." I scoffed and pulled his cheek a bit."I'm so sorry, it won't happen again I promise." He winced."Now say it and hand me back my food," I commanded and gave him a *don't try me look*"I love you bestfriend, you're the best girl ever," He rushed out in one breath, after which I released his cheek and he handed

Joanna's POV"Stop cockblocking me!" Frank whined and glared at Ifeanyi who had a smirk on his lips."It isn't my fault you guys didn't look before, you know, started eating each others face," Ifeanyi blurted with a roll of his eyes."Ifeanyi, get out," I said, in between deep breaths."What are you even doing here, and how did you get in? Frank asked already annoyed."See y'all tomorrow, I'm gonna meet Harmony." Ifeanyi said with a shrug, ignoring Frank's question and walked out.I just shook my head at his retreating figure while Frank looked confused and asked, "Are they?"Yeah." I nodded, oblivious of what he was implying."So you mean they are dating? He questioned, looking grossed out."What the!" I exclaimed in shock, "Francis! eeew, eeew, no! Why the hell did you think
Self-Love Chapter 33: Girlfriend
Joanna's POVI gazed into his eyes and slowly ran my hand down his bare chest, just stopping at the waistband of his sweatpants before I trailed back upwards to his lips and placed my index finger on it in a shushing manner.I felt him shiver when I tiptoed a bit and ran my tongue from his sharp jawline to his ear where I left chaste kisses all round it.He groaned at this and roughly turned me around so my back was facing him.I smiled as I felt his hands slide down to my waist and pulled me closer such that my ass was directly on his area to which I slowly bent my hips and grinded my ass in a seductive manner.I then shivered when his teeth grazed my neck and bit on the soft skin before kissing and sucking on it."You don't know how much I care about you." He whispered in my ear, after his lips trailed its way to my earlobe.I c

Joanna's POV"Wake up!" I heard someone yell close to my ear, so loud that it destroyed my peaceful slumber.I groaned and turned to see who had the guts to wake me up on that fine morning but my vission was still blurry in which I rubbed my eyes and blinked, so as to get accustomed to the brightness.I then tried foccussing my eyesight on the culprit when I felt ice cold water being dumped on me."Holy shit!" I blurted, while water droplets ran down my body."Happy birthday sister!" Elvis said with a grin, before he ran out of my room at top speed."That big bag of shit, I'm so gonna kill him," I muttered under my breath and headed for the stairs as I tried to squeeze the wetness off my soaked shirt.Its kind of a tradition over here in Nigeria to pour water on the celebrant on their birthday, but that only h
Self-Love Chapter 35: What's He About To Do
Joanna's POVThe sound of someone singing loudly with a cracked voice woke me up once again.Is this my birthday punishment or did I do anything wrong this past year to warrant this, I thought to myself while I groaned and turned to rest on my right side in a bid to muffle the noise."Happy birthday sweetie." A voice spoke, followed by an arm that encircled me.I then opened my eyes and smiled at Tenda who stared down at me with a wide grin on her face."Get off your lazy ass bitch, its time for Dora to do your make up." She scoffed after I had groaned and relaxed back on the bed."Be fast sis, I'm not getting any younger standing here." Dora voiced out with a roll of her eyes.This made me sit up after I realized they had ganged up on me on my birthday and gave them a scowl before I got off the bed and trudged o

Self-Love Announcement.
Announcement!!I've received several comments about what transpired in Chapter 2 (Ignoring Hoes)Some are saying I took it too far, others are saying that's unrealistic, while few others said I should delete and rewrite it as it seems harsh.What I have to say is, I'm not deleting or removing that part, becauseFirstly: It's my story.Secondly: I've edited in, and that's as far as I can go with it.Lastly and importantly: It is the only original part of my book. Meaning, it happened to me back in my high school days, sadly, I couldn't stand up for myself, which is why I wrote that and made Joanna speak up and put the teacher in her place.Shit happens in this life, most things you find unbelievable are taking place in areas you don't know about.I'm sorry if it seems disrespectful to anyone, but it's staying that way.If you a
Self-Love Chapter 62: Promise
Joanna's POV"Come over here you two." I smiled and motioned over the two most protective friends I had and still have. They didn't blink or waste a second after I spoke because in a flash I was in the middle of an emotional hug as Harmony kept whispering sweet things in my ear while Tenda sobbed on my shoulder."I love you both so much." I sighed and gave them each a kiss on their foreheads as my heart squeezed in affection.They pulled away a little over a minute later and Tenda wiped away her tears before she tried to give me a stern look as she spoke."Never do that again young lady, or I swear I would journey to the beyond and drag you back here to spank your ass, got that? She glared with fresh tears breaking through once more, to which I nodded and pulled her for a hug of mine."Pave way for the future sister in-law." Fahvour grinned as she walked over to us to
Self-Love Chapter 61: A Week And Three Days
Joanna's POVThey both whipped around, till their eyes landed on me."Where have you been young lady," Mom scolded with a glare I didn't take to heart, due to the happiness I saw dancing in her eyes."A hug would suffice." I chuckled, seeing as I had already expected that reaction from her."GOD I've missed you," She croaked, and immediately pulled me in for a hug."Its okay mum." I laughed into her neck when I felt her squeeze me tight."Hey Dad," I called in a wide smile at him over mom's shoulder, to which he responded with that same look Francis had on his face when my eyes landed on him <disbelief>."It's okay Dad, am real," I voiced out, and I guessed that was all the reassurance he needed because the next thing I knew, I was being hugged by the two most important people in my life."My beautiful da
Self-Love Chapter 60: Everything?
Frank's POVIf I didn't catch sight of her beautiful brown eyes as she blinked, I would have dismissed it, but instead, my heart froze, my breath hitched, I was afraid to move, breathe even,because of the fear that I could wake up and realize it was all a dream or my imagination.It seemed she guessed my turmoil, hence her eyes flew open once more, and this time it stayed that way. I saw her lower them from where they were focused, on the ceiling and then slowly, they found its way to my face."Oh my GOD, oh GOD." I sighed in gratitude and relief as my body relaxed when the realization of her being awake hit me."Oh my GOD, Oh GOD, you are awake,Ana you are awake. Oh GOD I've missed you," I spoke, in a bid to confirm I was in no way dreaming and buried my face into her shoulder as I hugged her, after her eyes remained on me, those beautiful eyes I missed
Self-Love Chapter 59: Do I Know You?
Frank's POVI nodded in response to the doctor's question as my brain shifted back to space mode while I watched him do his normal routine check up."Any news? I asked curiously, my voice emotionless."She's fine." He smiled, "The shock has passed, so she's all good. It's left to her to wake up on her own whenever her brain decides to""How about her memory? Elvis questioned, to which the doctor sighed."I can't say, its a 50/50 issue. Medically there's nothing wrong with her brain but there's a possibility that the brain kind of shut down as a result of too much information and flashbacks," He blurted."But on the bright side, it might just be a way for the brain to absorb the much information it received, resulting in the temporary shut down. So there's a possibility of her still retaining her memory. Like I said it's a 50/50 issue, it'
Self-Love Chapter 58: Shock
Frank's POVI regained consciousness a little over an hour later according to the nurses and was told I had a panic attack.When I asked about Joanna, it was relayed to me that she was admitted in the same hospital but in a different room.I immediately traced my steps to the location after I was told the room number and went straight in search of her, despite the protests of the nurses and other patients in the same ward with me, to have some rest.Now there I was sitting beside her bed as she lay still, the steady rise and fall of her chest plus the lack of wires connected to her, the only assurance she was asleep and not in a coma.I had been sat in that same position for hours. I refused to speak to anyone no matter how hard they tried, the nurses, the doctor,her parents,Elvis, even her friends, I spoke to no one.They tried to find out what happe
Self-Love Chapter 57: Blackout
Joanna's POV. The first day I met him when he came home with Elvis from school.How he fought a boy in my class for calling me a stammerer when Elvis wasn't in there.How he accepted my friends and joined us in our every activities. Even when it was against his class he would be on our side, which would make Elvis happy and angry sometimes.I also recalled he would smile when he saw me and his eyes shine a bright colour. As little as we were then, he always made me feel special.He would always gang up with me during hide and seek games plus other activities against the others and that day wasn't an exception.From what my little brain could take note of, it was a good day, we all ca
Self-Love Chapter 56: I Love You Ana
Joanna's POV"You good Ana? He asked as he glanced briefly at me when he noticed my silence."Yeah," I replied with a shrug. "I'm just lost in thought""Okay then, get your head out of those silly thoughts, let's eat." He smiled.This shocked me as I looked around and realized we were already at the hotel. "Wow! That was fast!" I exclaimed"What are you waiting for, come on." He grinned, to which I shook my head and giggled when he held my hand after I had stepped out of the car."Why are you gigling? He questioned. "What's funny"I scoffed in response, in which he rolled his eyes and left me to go place our order while I looked for a good spot for us to sit as we entered the restaurant area of the hotel.I spotted one, and walked over. I got comfortable in my seat beside the window that overlooked the fun part
Self-Love Chapter 55: Why?
Joanna's POV"Umm, hmm." I cleared my throat not able to co-ordinate words to say."Umm, why are you putting on a suit in this blazing sun? I questioned, finally able to say something tangible.He didn't reply, rather he stood there grinning from ear to ear."What are you doing? I asked, my voice a bit louder and clearer this time."We my lady are going out on a date," He voiced out, and let himself in."Date? Why? I questioned a bit flustered as I tried to hide my blush."Follow me if you want to find out." He smirked, his words having an underlying meaning that I couldn't comprehend."Alright," I blurted out hesistantly. "Can you wait a bit while I put on something reasonable to wear?"You look fine to me." He winked, and I felt the invisible butterflies in my stomach begin their gymnastics.
