Ray dropped me off at the hotel in time to prepare for dinner, what with my tousled hair and stuffs. He at first didn't want to let me go. I practically had to pray him off him. He was happy now, I could tell from from the way his eyes glowed in the dark. "I'll see you in thirty minutes?" He asked."Yeah, sure." I grinned. "I'm just gonna do justice to my hair and change into something more comfortable." The last statement got him looking up at me and his turned a shade darker.Ray and I, we've not been intimate like that. I've been wondering of late what it would feel like when we finally did it. "I wouldn't change a thing if I were you." He said, his eyes taking their normal colour. "You're perfectly okay the way you are. Don't discomfort yourself because you have to dress up for dinner.""Thanks boyfriend." I mockedm "I'm not causing myself discomfort. I'm doing what's necessary and appropriate.""Whatever." He smiled and blew me a kiss."Get going, Stormwind jnr." I said and pu
"I'm assuming, Ray doesn't know you're here?" The tall huge man behind the huge oak desk asked me. "No, he doesn't." I answered. "Should that be a problem?" "You're not scared?" He asked, his presence dominating the place. "If I remember correctly, last time he was here, he said specifically you shouldn't be here."I shrugged, non chalant."Ray doesn't choose for me where to go or where not." "He doesn't?" He seemed disbelieving, "But he should! I can't have have my son dating a girl who walks around shamelessly!" I pursed my lips, withholding a snide remark, "Forgive me, Mr. Stormwind, but you've got a big problem." I said. "One, for thinking you have a son, when you don't in the real sense, and two, for thinking a lady's worth is measured by how controlled she is."He got, looking at me intimidatingly. I saw now, where Ray got his broad shoulders from. The man was huge! And when he took those long purposeful strides towards me, towering over me, I shrank back in my seat. "You're g
I hissed and turned on the mute button. He should talk to Ire about his important message. I didn't want to hear anything about it.I'm tired of being told of how much Ray adored me. I wanted him to show me. Spotting him the moment I highlighted the cab, I walked angrily towards him. "What do you want?!" I questioned."I'm sorry." He said."Sorry for what exactly?" I asked haughtily. "For the fact that you let that girl be all over you in my presence or the fact that you kissed her? Which exactly?""Both, babe. That's why I've come to apologize." He looked tired now that I looked closely at him. "I've wanted to apologize ever since that day, but you weren't giving me the time.""You're crazy." I replied and jerked my hands away from his hold. "You think I'm going to believe that sad ass story? I'm tired of hearing you say I'm sorry everytime and the next minute, you're doing the exact same thing!" I yelled at him. "Why couldn't you just tell her off? You just let her do her thing. Di
"I'm doing this for Ray. Because we once shared something and I still feel for him, even if he doesn't." Raven repeated the exact same words for the twelfth time that day. I knew for certain it was the twelfth time because I was counting and constantly replied with , "doing what exactly?"Looking at me thoughtfully for a while, she began "Ray broke my heart and got himself into something messy before moving to Florida. You're his girlfriend so I'm sure he must have told you about the not too good relationship he has with his father?" She waited for an answer but when it seemed like non was forthcoming from me, continued. "He always complained everyday about his father and when he did, I felt the hate in his words. He told me he wanted to be rid of the man, to have nothing to do with him, believe me, each and every of those night, had Ray crying in my arms, and I desperately sought out ways to help him." I nodded, trying to comprehend where this story was going. Hope she wasn't trying
"Babe. " He smiled weakly, "That's even legal?""Cut the chase, Ray." I retorted, "What's going on. You're going to tell me or keep hiding it?""I thought you wasn't interested about me. What you doing here anyways?" He asked with a raised eyebrow."A good samaritan though it wise to show me around New york." I smiled, "I didn't want to go at first, but she pressed me on."He was confused and let it show. "Even though I'm confused, I'm going to ask who the birdie is. Like, you're already making friends? That's cool Emmy." He smiled genuinely."Nice of you to notice." I smiled. "You wouldn't believe the stuffs she told me.""Ohhh?" He raised a brow. His interest piqued. "Let's sit somewhere, so we can talk?" He looked apprehensive, like he was dreading my answer."Sure, we should. Thank God you suggested, it. These flats are getting uncomfortable already." I said and almost added, "as well as the awkward interlude of silence between us." But skipped.The silence was unbearable, like t
I learnt the hard way that hearing the truth is something we aren't prepared for. Now that I think of it, I wonder why I kept on pressurizing him to be open with me if it was something I wasn't going to be able to face? If it was something I was going to run off after hearing like I did? The truth about one's past, hits us in so many ways, and Ray's wasn't an exception.Probably, he was right about keeping his past away from me. He was probably downcasted after watching me run away like that. I myself was embarrassed, the way I acted was childish,and even when i wanted to blame myself.Ray really had a toxic childhood. It was so bad, I wanted to tell him to shut up but couldn't, I knew it was some kind of help to him, because he was sure to feel light-headed afterwards. When he told me how he'd met Raven and the whole shit with Tim, I couldn't resist hugging him. It wasn't a rehearsed speech, it was exactly like Raven had said it. He was everything but weak wasn't one of those things
"Wait girl." Foluke examined my fingers for the fourth time to make sure it was real. "This cost some. Ray gave you a promise ring? Dang, I knew that guy was serious about you.""You can say that again." Meredith nodded. "That guy is so out of this world. I still can't fathom how fast all this happened!"I couldn't too. It seemed like we just met yesterday and today this? Everyday before we came back to Florida, I constantly checked to make sure the ring was real. "Tell us everything again, what what and what went down, and how the wedding was. I don't think I'll tire of hearing." Bisola asked, "We might learn a few things from you."I laughed and recounted my New york's experience and adventure to them that day for the second time. I was about talking to them about Ire when Mitchell walked by our table and stopped to say, "Well, if it ain't the losers.""Oh, certainly, I heard Alaine broke up with you?" Meredith mocked. "Isn't that painful? And you couldn't get down with Ray either
Guyyyysss.I want to pretend like everything is over but deep down it's not.I'll talk about this some time later and the fact that Emem and Raynard have been sending you secret notes.I can't believe she talks about me like that in my back!!It's not like she lied tho. It's certainly the truth.... but not Im the way she put it.I recall I was trying to check our some sturvs in the Review column... Not like I was reviewing the book.Dang! I feel so embarrassed right now.But,I'm not mad. I promise you.but for now, Let's move to our next book....WINNING WALKER.Thanks for all you do.But yeah, The Boynextdoor Is over.Like my counter people would say...DONE AND DUSTED.
6 years later. "Jake has a girlfriend momma." Little Amelia squealed to her mother."He does , Amelia?" Emem asked, surprise written all over her face."He does, momma." She replied, cupping her mother's cheeks. "I'll never lie to you momma.""Right, Amelia. He told you this?""No mummy. But I've been watching him. you know how you always say, keep an eye on your brother? I've been doing that.""That's so cute." Emem picked up the five old child, spreading mushy kisses on her face. "You know her name?""I don't. " she replied thoughtfully. "You know he always shares his snacks with her?""He does now?" Emem asked."ofcourse momma. I'll never lie to you." She confirmed."You know what Amy?" Emem asked."What mummy?". Amelia asked expectantly."I think we tell daddy about this latest information. you know how he loves to tease you about things like that?""I agree momma. That way, he'll know Jake isn't a saint, right mum?" She asked."Sure Amelia." Emem replied, smiling.Some were
we're getting married!! I'm sure you're excited for us.Ray wanted a big ceremony but I said no. it's going to just be friends and families.And yeah, I'm inviting you all.Guess what? Mr. Stormwind is showing up too!! I'm excited for that too. I know you're going to ask how? well, we patched things up.Alain is showing up to Raven, and Mitchell is going to be there. I can't imagine how that reunion would go.Foluke, Bisola and Meredith are all going to be by my side, cheering me on that big day, I wish you all could come. I'm teary right now.I had my wedding gown shipped in last , and oh!, what a beaut.I know I'm talking to much, but I just thought it would be beautiful to let you guys know how the journey is going.Dang! I almost forgot, Mitchell's going places. I'm so proud of that girl.Raynard's been busy this past months... and oh, how I pity him. I can't wait to get this marriage over with. I laugh remembering how I almost proposed to him. I was in such a haste.I just saw
Ray's POV"You're sure she would love this?" I asked foluke for the hundredth time."Have I ever lied to you? I'm hundred percent certain, Raynard. If she doesn't, have my head. Plus, you owe me hundred dollars for disturbing my sleep. Who raised you kid?" "Will do." I replied."But hold up Ray!" Foluke said, raising a finger. "You're anxious about this? You're definitely swooned.""You don't know anything about that." I replied, marvelling at the accuracy of her statement."Believe me, I Know more than I'm willing to let on. Beside, I don't think we need binoculars for this. It's all over you. In your eyes." She replied."What exactly are we talking about?" I probed."How much you're in love with Emem yonas." She replied, not mincing words."Dang!! Do you always have to be blunt?" I asked."I'll answer that, only if you make what you owe me three bucks." She replied."You're an extortionist." I laughed, shaking my head. "I thought so too. Now you get going, you have a girlfriend to
Guys!!!it's been such a beautiful journey with you. Thinking right now how my journey would be if I didn't have you, I cringe .No one wants to spend eternity alone. Raynard is actually vexed that this took a little longer than planned, but it's nothing a little kiss can not solve. winks* He's that easy.Another thing... Ray's jealous over the fact that we're starting a new story.... With a new make hero , Walker. can you believe that?He thinks walker is going to be way hotter than him.. How absurd Is that. I know he likes to show off.. like, be the center of attention. That's my baby. but whatever, We just have two more chapters to go and we're done.The boy nextdoor was definitely a journey and I pray you find yours. He doesn't necessarily have to live nextdoor.I heard the girl in the next book, Steyn, is strong at heart. I heard she's beautiful too. Honestly, I feel so sad for her because unlike Ray, Walker is going to punish her!!.You see that too??But whatever.... she's a gi
Hello guys, I'm sure my reputation precedes me... but hey.... I'm much better in real life.A little arrogant with a touch of sassiness... lol... don't know if there's a word like that. I and Emmy's love story is finally coming to an end and I'm sure you enjoyed it while it lasted.I've been pissed with blackgirlsmyth...(gasp... ow! I'm sorry. you lots might not know her by that. it's her instagram handle) that's the writer telling the story, for keeping it longer than expected but she apologized and I'm still considering my reaction.The next note would be from Emmy, and I'm sure you'll love what she has to say...I'll miss you all...yeahhh.... I will.But till then.... if you find someone to love, love them well cuz that shit ain't easy.love,Raynard Stormwind.
I stumbled out of my apartment in New Jersey, almost tripping on my sneakers. Heaven's help me. I was always late for the bus but not today. It was weekend and that meant spending it over at Ray's.I didn't stop running and tripping until I was inside the bus. Yeah! I mentally congratulated myself. I had a lot to gist Ray about when I got to New York City.I held until the railings of the rickety old bus that led to New York, as though my life depended on it. The gown I wore clung beautifully to my body. Ray would love it, I thought, congratulating myself. The distance from New Jersey to New York was just two miles, and I wondered why he wouldn't let me drive."If it isn't Emem?" I heard someone call my name and turned immediately to acquaint myself with whomever it was. You can imagine my shock when I realized it was Mitchell. Never in my life would I believe in Mitchell using the bus. "Well. Hello Mitchell." I replied, taking the empty sit beside her. "It's been what? Four , fi
As this book is approaching an end..I'll love to appreciate those of you that stood by me. I want to say thank you for the votes..... I've got something to keep pushing me forward after fighting writers block....keep voting and making me proud.special thanks goes to ... Joy Esplana, Ashley, Katila Ailer, Kelli Harrison and Annetjie Steyn... you're all motivations....thank you.*. *. .....*. *. *. *. *. "Holdup, girl!! You definitely are going to wear that to your boyfriend's graduation?" Meredith asked, looking at the piece of clothing in my hands like it was thrash."Ofcourse!" I rolled my eyes, "Give me two reasons why I shouldn't wear jeans to my boyfriend's graduation.""Girl, you wanna be a laughing stock? Alright. You want to go down greenville's history book looking like that? Alright." Foluke squared her shoulders. "Problem is, you're my friend and I can't let you go to Greenville's high graduation looking like that.
I recounted my experience with the girls, not leaving out a single detail." You're a woman now." Foluke cupped my cheek, sounding like I had achieved something precious. "He definitely got plans for you.""Yeah?" Meredith grinned. "I can't believe you finally did it, and imagine, the both of you twinning!! It's like a dream!"I rolled my eyes. " We're not twinning, Meredith." I replied. "Call it a coincidence, maybe. Ray personally handpicked these clothes from his closet.""You don't say!" Bisola grabbed my shoulders. "These are Ray's clothes? Damn girl! I heard he shops from top brands!""Well, there's only one way to dispell that rumour." Meredith said, leaning in and reaching for the label at the back of the tee, "Louis Vuitton?" She grinned. "He definitely comes from wealth."Foluke rolled her eyes. " Coming from a fashion model? Meredith, you practically land your hand on these clothes before they come to us. What you on about exactly?"We laughed out loudly. "Meredith has alwa
