I rubbed my sweaty hands up and down my gown as I tried to look away from the doorway as it creaked open again, the sound vibrating then stopping like it has been doing for the past hour.
I felt a light tap on my shoulder and looked back at a smiling amara.
And before I could even think about it, I started telling him about my baby brother, James.I didn't even know when the tears started to fall until Silas swiped his thumb against a tear slipping down my cheeks in folds.I pulled away from his reach till I sat at the very edge of his bed as I motionlessly continued to tell me about how growing up with him was.How exciting and eventful the few years I got to spend with him felt, how the years he lived were probably my most meaningful years in my whole life.I could feel the tears pouring down my cheeks as I sobbed quietly, not even a tearful sound escaped my lips as I went on and on about how James was everything.Till I killed him."When I noticed my change in behavior, there wasn't really anything I could do about it. Sometimes I'll just cry for no reason. Other times I'll just starve myself for reasons unknown to me, sometimes I get so confused and lost inside of my own body and it's hard to
I rubbed my sweaty hands up and down my gown as I tried to look away from the doorway as it creaked open again, the sound vibrating then stopping like it has been doing for the past hour.I felt a light tap on my shoulder and looked back at a smiling amara.Amara, my roommate of almost two years flashed me one of her famous blinding smile.I could remember when I just saw Amara for the first time, I came to the conclusion on the spot that I didn't like her after assessing her for a few minutes, her smiles were always too beautiful, making her appear very happy. I don't even remember why I agreed to not wanting her for a friend in the first place.Most of our lecturers ended up liking her immediately, as her aura alone was accepting and inviting, that alone was working wonders on not just the students but on the lecturer.Surprisingly, we became v
I looked up tiredly and smiled on seeing who Abu was referring to. It was no other person than Samuel. Samuel and I aren't that close, just your typical school course mates who try to at least be friendly towards each other and he's pretty cool, Abu's always claiming that Samuel likes me which is always making me feel weird anytime I'm around him. Today isn't an exemption, I pushed out of my chair and hugged him before saying."Samuel!! How many weeks? you should just die in the village and not bother coming back."I chastened playfully."Hey, where's the new phone you said you were gonna show me?" Abu inquired."Oh, it's in my bag, let me get it for you."He replied as he released me from the unwanted hug to bring out the new phone, he bragged about getting a new phone this semester and no one doubted him.
"Amara baby, I'm sorry." I cooed."Leave me alone." She snapped but I saw her beautiful smile already tugging her lips which she tried to hide."I'll write your psychology notes for you?" I purposed again.No, definitely not." She refused again but it's already obvious in her voice that's she's already smiling. I rolled my eyes, she's proving stubborn, typical Amara, let's see if she refuses this.I'll buy you lunch after class." I purposed and laughed as she jumped on me while chanting."Yes! Yes! Yes! I forgive your stupid ass." She said then continued."Just don't do shit like that again." She admonished. "I won't." I replied. Oh well, that's solved, now let's just write the stupid attendance and get the fuck out of here. "Hey, can I stand before you? I'm too tired to stand at the end of the line, pleaseeeeeee
'A dustbin is just right there, Fay'.My subconscious reminded me.Shut the fuck up!. I pushed back at her."Now, back to class." Amara stated as she headed towards block E. That's our last class for today and I don't feel like attending, and besides, to get to that particular block isn't easy at all and right now, I feel too tired and drained."Amara, can we skip the class? You know I said was tired. I'm still tired and more drained, I just wanna go home." I said to Amara who stopped in her tracks to stare at me before asking."What is it, Fay? You know, it's unlike you to be tired and drained like this. Are you alright?" She queried as she stare closely at my face.On getting home, the gate was about to be locked by the gateman but he opened it back again on sighting two of the tenants.Normally, students gets a room
I headed for my closet and brought out a light grey jumpsuit, putting it on my bed, along with my undies. I headed into the bathroom and did my business, coming out stronger and more energetic.I don't know what kind of magicwater has in it but it always have the power to soothe my body. Especially cold showers. I've always hated using hot or boiled water to bath, I'll go for cold and chilled water anytime, any day.Putting lotion on my body, I pull on my undies then my jumpsuit. I sat down on my bed as I picked up my wig, the one I wore to school today. I combed my fingers through it before stretching for the brush on the table, beside my bed. I brushed the wig to my satisfaction before hanging it on the left wall in my room.Looking around for my phone, I picked up my dirty clothes and put them in the basket beside my closet before heading out of
"Nah, I'll use my roll on." She replied as she dropped the roll on on her bed, heading for the door."Jesus!! Fay! Your perfume is too strong please, my nose." Abu said as he looks at me weirdly before coughing a little."Duh! It's my choice, I like my perfume strong. Deal with it."I replied as I faintly noted that I might have over sprayed the perfume, but who cares, it's my choice."You're a case, I swear." He replied as he stood up.We headed outside and waited for Amara to lock the door."Give me the key, let me keep it in my bag, you know you're not with any bag." I said to Amara."Ehn? So that we'll sleep outside today, right? I'll hold the keys please." She replied as she looked me up and down before tucking the key into her pocket.I scowled at her."Whatever!" I threw o
Zayn shocked expression on hearing Fay tell him to shift away from her quickly cleared away as he tried to think of another way to get the stuck up Fay to get free with him. Fay pulled her neckline from her neck and grimaced as it comes back to her skin like rubber. She's feels stuffy and held in, she have always hated this feeling. She threw a glance at Zayn and shrugged on seeing him staring broodingly at his drink. Maybe I was a little to harsh on him before, she thought before shrugging her shoulders again, who cares. She leaned against her chair and glanced at Amara again. Amara is looking flustered and a little drunk but not too drunk. She likes letting loose and mingling with strangers like this, it's a trait she have since she could remember. He's very good looking and dark, since she started puberty, her fancy has always been in dark an
And before I could even think about it, I started telling him about my baby brother, James.I didn't even know when the tears started to fall until Silas swiped his thumb against a tear slipping down my cheeks in folds.I pulled away from his reach till I sat at the very edge of his bed as I motionlessly continued to tell me about how growing up with him was.How exciting and eventful the few years I got to spend with him felt, how the years he lived were probably my most meaningful years in my whole life.I could feel the tears pouring down my cheeks as I sobbed quietly, not even a tearful sound escaped my lips as I went on and on about how James was everything.Till I killed him."When I noticed my change in behavior, there wasn't really anything I could do about it.

Ember's pov. 'I'll prepare your favourite dish tonight, make sure you don't miss it. I'm serious this time.'
"It's not your fault he died. It's not."I shook my head in denial as I tried to mentally block out all Silas was saying while I tried focusing on my breathing which suddenly ceased for a few seconds due to how hard I was crying.It was a Monday, three days after the session I had with my therapist. Three days after I spoke with Michael. Three days after I finally admitted to my self that I had somehow fallen in love without even realising it.It was supposed to be just a simple hangout where by I'll get to talk with Silas and maybe kiss and do we other stuff for a little bit before I'll finally head home.It wasn't supposed to have a very emotional talk, it wasn't.Somewhere along the line, I found myself in Silas room. This time, I had ventured into his room for the first time, not just his sitting room and kitchen.To say his room was fine was putting it to
"I've missed you so much, Sisi.""Oh, come on! I thought we agreed not to call each other silly nicknames anymore?" Silas argued with Jordan, an amused laugh playing across his face."You started it, remember? You called me Jordie!""Aw, I was just joking, man." Silas explained but Jordan brushed him off with a shake of his head after pointing out to him that he was the one who started everything.They laughed before Timi, the third boy in the group of friends embraced Silas heatedly. It was pretty obvious about who Silas was really close with between the two guys.The only girl in the group of friends came forward and literally flew into Silas outstretched hands who immediately wrapped themselves around her waist as he lifted her from the ground for a little bit before finally releasing her.I watched, an amused expression on my face as they exchanged p
"And, we should face time in the nude too!"Wait, whuut?!"I mean, it could be fun and you know..." He trailed off as he wiggled his eyebrows playfully, all traces of seriousness gone from his face, his goofy, playful side back in place."You're high." I informed him with an amused eye roll.A ping came from my phone which was dropped behind the Mac by a very hyper Ashley the moment the call connected with Silas's about an hour ago or so.I bended forward to retrieve the phone, the small exclamation of 'Fuck!' stopped me for a few seconds before I reached forward a little bit more till I reached the phone and returned back to my normal position.My mouth suddenly went dry when I caught Silas's heated gaze on my boobs, he lifted his gaze to my face, our eyes locking intently."Fuck, I didn't know you weren't wearing anything underneath
"Fay! You have a call from Silas, and we mistakenly accepted the call."Ashley sheepishly called out from the doorway of my room while Whitney held out the phone out in my direction.Ashley and Whitney could perfectly pass on for twins with how they do things together and let's not forget how identical they look coupled with the fact that they were nearly the same height with Whitney only a little bit taller than her immediate younger sister, Ashley."You mistakenly accepted it?" I asked with narrowed eyes as I collected the phone from Whitney's outstretched grip."I swear Aunty F... I mean Fay, it was a mistake. You know, we were just busy watching BTS on YouTube when the call came through and my finger mistakenly tapped it." Ashley explained as she moved her hands around then she mistakenly hit Whitney on the tight with her wandering hands.Whitney only scowled at her younger sister befo
"There's something about you, something different and fresh like a new gift yet unwrapped, waiting to be pealed off carefully." "At first, I thought it was just a normal attraction, but then somehow I started admitting to myself that it was more than that. Before I knew it, you were always in my head. Be it morning, afternoon, evening and night. Heck, I dream about you once in a while too." I sat up stiffly on the seat of the swing as I drank in all he was softly saying into my ear, his heated breath fanning softly against the sensitive spot behind my ear."Somewhere, somehow, you got into my head and stayed there. I still think it's weird though, this constant edging feeling biting my insides with warmth." He pulled me closer till my whole back was firmly pressed into his chest and his lips pressing into the curve of my ear.
I stepped into the house and pulled the door closed behind me, different excitement filled voices crackled around in the air to my amusement.Chelsea wagged her tail at me the moment I walked through the door.The voice was mainly coming from the kitchen which I made my way to almost immediately, I was dying to set my eyes on them.An amused smile graced my lips on seeing the three children huddled over one iPad as they disagreed over the game they were supposed to be playing at the moment."Fay! You're back." Mum gushed immediately she sighted me hanging by the door of the kitchen as she made a hand gesture for me to come in instead of standing stiffly by the door."Aunty Fay! Oh my gosh you're so beautiful!" One of the three girls who were arguing over the iPad gushed as she drank me in through her eyes.She looked like a ten years old, but she definitely ac
