We were in her room preparing what we needed to bring with us for the shoot since it would be taking the whole day. I told Mum about the day we were having it and she said we should be home before evening.
“No,” I answered, without taking a look at her.
“Really? Do you think I didn't notice all the secret looks you both stole at each other when the other wasn't looking? The blush at whatever he whispered in your ear? And you want me to believe you?”
“Well, yeah.” I turned from packing our duffle bag to look at her “There is actually nothing going on between us” I shrugged and went into her walk-in closet to pick some more shirts since I forgot some of my things when I

I felt my heart beat faster when he fell face down with a thud.My hand with the bottle up in the air, my eyes wide opened scared to see the about 6’ foot man i just got unconscious. My heart rate went faster than usual and my hands were shaking rapidly.I looked down at him and bent to check he wasn't dead, which I pray he isn't. I am so young GOD, i can't be a murderer. I used my foot to push out some of the broken pieces of the glass and bent to his unconscious level.I placed the bottle on the floor and touched his face to feel if his temperature dropped. He was quite warm and I wasn't satisfied with that so I put my index finger under his nose and felt his warm breath.I breathed out the air I didn't know I was holding and placed my palm on my chest.

It was a two-hour hell of a ride with Dapo constantly running his mouth about things I and Becca couldn't care less about. How can someone talk so much? How?We didn't even ask him anything, he just kept going on and on and on and on. GOD let this stop.I and Rebecca exchanged looks once in a while as he kept talking.She told me that was how he had been going on and on and on while I was asleep and I totally felt for her by giving her a comforting look.“Does he talk this much while I am not here? Because if he is doing this to get my attention, it is not working at all.”“I really don't understand him. I know for a fact that he talks but not too much but it is quite tolerable” she answered me.

“Hey, good afternoon” Becca greets the lady at the reception table and she responds with a smile.“Good afternoon, what can I do for you please?”“Err, we are here for a shoot that has been organized by D’lace palace. Can you please guide us to where they are located?”“Oh yeah, I was informed, please hold on” she picked up the telephone and typed something on the monitor in front of her.As she did that I looked around the medium-sized reception that had a gold, cream, and brown theme. Two medium-size flower vases were at the two sides of the door leading to the reception.There is a dark brown table at the other end of the reception desk with what I assume to be so

“This is funnnn” I squealed and spun around in an oversized cream-colored robe I saw in the closet before collapsing on the bed stretching my hand out.The room we picked was a bit larger and fancier than the guy's own, I was happy it was ensuite so we had a bathroom to ourselves and they had one to themselves.There was a king-sized bed that was in the middle of the room, a floor to ceiling window, two bedside tables at both sides of the bed, a small table that had a small basket of prop fruits on top of it which was opposite the bed and a cream-colored couch leaning against the wall.There were some life-sized paintings on the wall, the largest was above the headboard. It was a painting of an ancient woman hugging herself and wearing a black scarf that barely cover her body.

“So are you girls ready?” Leo asked when they all came into our room. I turned to look at the girls with a smile. “Didn't I tell you they would be coming?” Danielle shrugged while Rebecca smiled back. Daniel sat beside Rebecca, Albert went to Danielle and Leo came to stand behind me as i applied some more lip gloss to my lips. He was wearing a white and black checkered shirt coupled with a pair of blue slightly fitted jeans and white sneakers that had ‘Gucci’ engraved on both sides. Albert was wearing a blue T-shirt, cut jeans, and white sneakers. Daniel wore a pair of black dress pant, white button-up shirt that had it sleeve rolled t

I let out a scream due to how roughly I was pushed down the stairs. I felt the pain surge right through my entire body and winced when I tried moving any part of my body. I probably broke something, that must be the reason the pain is so intense. I let out a small cry and turned my head a bit then tried to fight off the headache by opening my eyes a bit to see where I was thrown to and saw that I was at the end of the stairs that leads to the basement I came out from not too long ago and the door was slightly opened. I rolled and went down the remaining two stairs with a little yelp and in the process opening the door further. I could feel the tears gathering in my eyes and rolled till I was facing the floor. I managed to place both of my shakey palms on the floor and counted to three to tried to stand up. The ke

“You sure you are feeling better?” Leo asked and I rolled my eyes for the hundredth time because for the past thirty minutes we arrived at the hotel he has been asking me the same question.I told him I am fine like I am about to and like I have been telling for the past thirty minutes.“Leonard Olumide Adedeji, like I have said before. I. Am. Fine” I sat up from laying on the bed then stretched so he can look at me properly. “See, I am fine”“I know you are fine, but like… you understand,” he said then came to sit beside me.“Olumide, I am fine,” I said calling his native name and looking at him straight in the eyes.“Okay, fine I believe you&rdqu

We were already back from our little vacay/… err… I dont know what comes after the slash but we just came back from our short vacation. It's already evening and I am preparing for school tomorrow. We went to a salon earlier today to get our hair done, that was after church service then we went to buy some things we would need and visited Rebecca’s grandmother whose house was closer to the salon. I really enjoyed the weekend and Rebecca sent me my cut from the shoot some minutes ago and it was quite large. Yep, they really wanted us to reconsider their offer. I checked my books for the next day and remembered I haven't finished up the assignment I told myself I was going to finish up. I sighed and put the notebooks along with my textbooks on my dresser table. I heard

Everything has been so crazy these past months. With my dad wanting... no, trying to kill me and would have succeeded the third time if not for… Sighs I really don’t want to think about all that has been happening these past few months and so I don’t think too much and cause another depressing depression for myself again. The therapist I was supposed to see when I was little which whom I am having a weekly session told me not to overthink things too much so it doesn’t affect my daily life and so that I can concentrate on healing from what has happened. Although she said healing might be a bit difficult since I have started having flashes of what happened to me when I was little and it is causing some major trauma for me and it might or might not make me crazy that was why she recommended I shouldn’t think too much about it. So here I am in my room sitting on my bed in all-black attire, slouched over and playing with my fingers as I wai

Its been a week since I was discharged from the hospital and a lot has happened… like so much had happened.Everyone had been careful and gentle with me and it was okay though.

“Ba-”“Where is my daughter?” she cuts him off as she threw him an angry look but he just looked at her, unable to formulate any word to say to her.“Look bab-”“I SAID DO NOT BABE ME” she screamed at him and he was taken aback by her outburst.This was going to be the first time in so many years that he would be seeing her in such a state. She gets angry but not this angry and would never use this tone on him.Daniella is definitely to blame for this. He closed his eyes to keep the pent-up anger that seem to have built up in seconds then opened them and released a breath.“I asked where is my daughter,” she said again but more calmly now.“You need to relax, okay?”“Fine, I am relaxed. Where is she?” she asked growing impatient.“Trust me, girl, I am as desperate as you to know about our baby’s whereabouts,” he said try
