Previously…"I like the sound of that. I haven't really talked to her about kids." I said. I didn't know what I was thinking that I didn't ask her about that."Ah Ah even I who does not plan on getting married knows that that is conversation 101. You have to talk to your significant other about things like that oh Femi," he said.This was the first time he was giving me this type of advice when it came to Ama. Was I to say he had softened up?"Well, ko dabi pe mo n gbe e ni iyawo ni bayi. akoko pupọ wa lati sọrọ nipa iyẹn lẹhin igbero naa. kẹhin kẹhin Emi yoo kan ṣe ohun ti o fe. (it's not like I'm marrying her right now. there's plenty of time to talk about that after the proposal. last last I'll just do what she wants.)" I said.I was hell bent on giving Ama anything she wanted. At this point her happiness was my own happiness."It's fine. You're spoiling her but I understand last last." He said.I stood up. "We'll time for me to go back upstairs and see the Fam. You coming?" I as
Previously..."Before you continue my boy, isn't it absurd that I don't know you that well, you are dating my daughter so you I should at least know the basics. Even when you told me of what happened to her you never really introduced yourself properly." She said."Okay, my name, is Femi Akinjola like you already know. I am 31 years old and I am the co-founder and Co-CEO of Tuwomi Construction and Developers. One of the biggest most contracted construction companies in the country. Any government office you enter now was probably most likely built by me and my brothers. Both here in Lagos and in Abuja and some states in the middle. I'm also an Engineer." I said."Hmm, impressive. And who is your father?" She asked.I told her my father's name and what he did. "I've heard of him." She said. "But I thought his only child died." She added. That was something that struck me.We never actively identified as his kids in public. It was just never a thing for us because we weren't popular bec
Previously…Femi."Echegbula nwoke m. ozugbo iwu mmachi ahụ dị, ọ gaghị abịaru unu abụọ nso ma ọ bụrụ na ọ chọghị ịga mkpọrọ. (Don't worry my guy. once the restraining order is in place he won't come near the both of you if he does not want to go to jail)" he replied."Thanks man." I said and left him. I went to look for him when Kola cornered me."My engaged brother. I haven't seenyou yet. Congratulations bro. nigbawo ni igbeyawo (when is the wedding?)" Kola said. He looked tipsy."Thanks man. se o ti nmu?(have you been drinking?)" I asked him."Yeah just a little. But really bro that was a beautiful speech. Really and truly very inspiring." He said."Thanks. You know I was writing stuff down then I just threw it in the bin and said fuck it. I'll just improv. It turned out great though." I said. I really wanted to stop talking to Kola in the moment because he was drunk. He was not very stable minded when tipsy and I didn't want to handle that now."That's nice." He slurred."Okay th
Previously…AmaI looked over and saw Shawn still with Radike. Radike was really laughing at whatever it was he was saying. "Babe look at that." I said.Femi turned his head to their direction "Oh already? That's really good for Shawn. His ex wife don't deserve no gym membership phase from him."I laughed. "Not the gym membership phase. Babe. Why are you this savage?" "It's true. She cheated. It's gut wrenching but she was never really a good wife to him so she doesn't deserve the crying and gym phase that men with heartbreak go through. If he likes Radike that will be good for her. Best guy I've seen in a while." Femi said.I looked at them again. They would really make a lovely couple,And then something occurred. I saw Kola walked really fast in their direction."Oh fuck" Femi said and left my side, going to block Kola. He saw what I saw as well.Unfortunately, Femi could not get there in time and Kola initiated a punch at Shawn.———Femi.I didn’t understand what was happening. K
Previously...Femi"It's fine. I'm not exactly sick anymore, I'll just wait for you. You need to go and fix this." She said."Thank you for being so understanding even when you don't have to be. When I come back we will celebrate okay?" I told her, smiling at her.She smiled "okay babe. Now go," she said.I giggled and kissed her lips. Her sweet and luscious lips."Bye" she called out as I entered the elevator.———-Femi.Leaving Ama was really hard and it wasn't right by any chance. She was really understanding and I certainly wasn't going to take that for granted. It was already seven in the night. I had to make sure I got back to her early. This was not going to take too long by any means.I started driving down to Kola's place where Tunde had taken the thorn in my flesh. I had to set him straight. Hopefully he was sober by the time I got there.I went and was met with heavy traffic."What the actual fuck?" I said under my breath. There was no way I could even maneuver this. There
Previously…Femi."That's cock and bull. Even in a drunk state, there must have been a reason and it seems like you know it" he said and tilted his head to the side waiting for my response."Um okay... I will tell you but please don't take it too seriously. Kola was just acting and being a fool." I said. I hoped I could pacify him."Okay go on?" He said."Yeah so um, Kola and Radike had a thing before. On and off if you will. I told him to stop because he works for us but he wouldn't listen. Thankfully, she broke it off herself. They are however still friends. But I guess he still likes her." I said.Shawn smiled and nodded. "I guess that was why he was pissed but it didn't reach to to such because that was my first time speaking to her. I mean I was flirting a bit. She is very very attractive so no surprise there. If they are no longer together why should he do that? She's not his property man." Shawn said."Yeah I know man.. I know. He himself cannot even explain what just transpire
Previously...Ama."Wifey, what's up?" He said off the bat.I laughed "not wifey already," I said in the laughter,"You are going to be my wife soon. It is official. Ask the ring on your finger." He said.I laughed again "Seems like what you went for went well as you are in a good mood again." I said."Yup. Shawn isn't holding grudges so I guess we are in the clear with him. I'm shaa still upset at Kola. I will tell you why when I return. I'm coming home like right now," he said."Okay, be safe o. I'm waiting for you my lovely husband." I said."Mmm oh baby. That sounded so hot." He said. His tone made me clench down there."Hurry up then." I said."Okay honey. I'll be there soon." He said.The line went dead."Knowing Lagos and it's traffic I'm not expecting him now. Let me watch Netflix or something." I muttered to myself and switched on the television.I stayed in bed eating the chocolate wafers i found in the fridge while fighting sleep with all my might but it got the best of me
Previously…Ama."I was not even surprised that you didn't come in the shower with me. We'd literally be here all day." He said.I laughed and stood up. "You know I could come into the shower and bathe and if you don't touch me we'd be fine.""There's no way that I won't touch you baby. Do you know how sexy you are?" He asked.I giggled. "You are really sexy too babe." I threw the compliment back.I went into the bathroom before he could start walking over to me.I brushed my teeth and showered, making sure to do my skincare before I left the bathroom as I had set everything up there. On leaving the bathroom, I saw that Femi had left but there was a big black t-shirt laid out on the bed. I immediately knew that he wanted me to wear it.I smiled and did my body care before I wore the t shirt. I literally looked like a short shirt gown on me. I smiled my ut was quite cute. I purposely didn't wear underwear. I wasn't the type that wore underwear at home anyways.Once done, I left the ro
Ama.The day had ended. I felt giddy to go home and tell Femi all that happened today. My dream was being fulfilled before my very eyes. I was living in it. I really appreciated Femi's dad for giving me this opportunity. I was very grateful.Femi texted me, telling me he was downstairs and I ran into the elevator without knowing, meeting Tola there. "Ha, hey bestie... why are you running like that?" He said with an amused look on his face."Running ke, me? Never" I said, feigning ignorance of what I just unknowingly did."It's only man that will make you that excited. Femi is here isn't he?" He said.I folded "Yes he is." I rolled my eyes "I'm just happy to finally see him that's all. He's been MIA throughout today." I said."Ahn ahn why?" Tola asked."Well he's been in a meeting and I get it you know. Today is his first day at work since the transplant so I understand. They were probably doing an organizational meeting of some sorts." I said."Okay I get it. Anyways how are you enjo
Femi.I felt so bad for not answering my fiancée. I looked and saw a text from her. “Hey, I know you’re probably busy. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. I’m so happy. Gahhhh call me when you can. Ly x” the text said.I didn’t want to dampen her own mood in any way. She seemed very happy about what was going on around her. I was still sad and emotionally downcast and I knew if I spoke to her in this mood she was going to leave everything she was doing and appear in my office. I would really appreciate her presence now but I also didn’t want to spoil her happiness. I decided to text her saying that I was going to be in a long meeting and I would come pick her up when she’s ready to go. She texted back for acknowledgement. I dropped my phone and sighed, placing my head in my hand. I seemed to be doing that a lot.In my mind, I was trying to picture how this woman could even be remotely related to me. I had to keep telling myself “my parents are dead”. Whoever this woman was, she
Femi.Today was a good day. I was very giddy while entering the office and it wasn't even about anything that I did or was going to do. I was just very glad that Ama was finally getting her flowers. It was vivid in my mind how she would always talk my ears full on how many ideas she has for the Lays project even when it was not set in stone that she was going to handle it with Kechi industries. She had so much passion for this that i knew she was going to do very well with it.As i walked into the office i was greeted by the front desk representative and before i could leave the lobby she said "There's someone here to see you sir. She said she is your mother." She said.I frowned. My mother never came here before. It was strange that she was here. "Okay where is she?" I asked. I hoped for her sake that she didn't send my 'mother' to my office."The conference room" she said. I sighed and walked in to my office first to drop my laptop and gadgets before going downstairs back to the con
Ama."So, the Lays project was actually suggested by me for business continuity. We were brainstorming for strategies to have more leverage in the manufacturing market and I came up with this. We already have a deal with Pepsi who are the primary owners of the Lays brand. It is such a big brand in the US. Now we have to latch on to the brand more to be able to keep our relationship. We already have the Quaker Oats deal because we asked them for it and that is why Quaker Oats is no longer an imported brand. Now is the time to take Lays. This will mean that Lays would be cheaper here in Nigeria and would make more sales, generating revenue for the company. We need to design the product and pitch it to Pepsi for approval and rights." I said. Once I was done with my speech, there was a roaring thunderous ovation for me. Even the HR manager who looked scornfully at me before was ecstatic. I felt good indeed."Any questions?" I said once I was done with my presentation. I had shown them a c

Ama.The meeting went from project to project until it finally got to my turn. The Lays Project. Shawn smiled when he saw it. He had texted me before today that I had to come and defend the project in front of the board. They had approved it but wanted to know if I knew what I was doing. They are very unserious because I was the one who came up with this idea so what more did they want? I however, tried to study what had already been rendered and made slides to display what I was about to say.I stood up and walked over to the front of the conference room and started my presentation. I was looking around at the faces before I started and my eyes landed on Shawn. He gave me a small smile and a nod. I felt more confident as I was feeling nervous before.
Previously...Femi."Wait I actually told the doctor to still do the test with the fetus they removed. I know it's dark sided but I don't want to be beriddled with grief that's not mine to bear. Because I think it's my fault. If I wasn't shagging some girl and actually answered the phone on time maybe they could have saved the baby you know." Tunde said."There was no way that you could have known," I said."How long till the test comes out?" Kola asked."By tomorrow." Tunde said."So calm the fuck down. If the baby is really yours then you can now cry as much as you want but I am sure that the baby isn't yours. That girl is a slimy snake." Kola said.. "As for you, I will call Dad's therapist. You need to get yourself straight after the damn drug use." Kola said."Okay. I don't want dad to know though" Tunde said."He won't know don't worry. Therapists don't snitch on their clients. Even if Dad will definitely know you're seeing the therapist, he won't know why and think it's for your
Femi.Tunde just stood there staring at us but we didn’t waver. We had to intervene. Tunde did not look good in any capacity at all.“Tunde you need to speak.” I said after a while of silence.“Why? Why do you guys think that something is wrong with me?” Tunde said while twitching, even though I doubted it before now I was sure that he was using.“God! Tunde where did you get the drugs from!” Kola yelled, he was not having it. Tunde was getting irritated now.I held Kola’s shoulder. “If you come at him like that he won’t say anything,” I said to him.I looked at Tunde, “The reason why we think you have a problem is this,” I pointed at his appearance,“You’re really insecure about your hairline but your hair is growing out, you never let that happen for anything. You didn’t even wear a cap to cover it. You’re dressed like a homeless person. Shirt not tucked in, tie loose, clothes rumpled. No suit on a Monday morning that’s very unlike you.” I said.“And let’s not forget the uncontrolla
Previously…Femi."Well after all this it seems like I have to get an executive assistant because the work is plenty. I need someone to keep track. This just means that our company is growing day by day and I am proud of everyone and the work they have put into this while I was away. Thank you so much. Speaking of our company growing, it may seem as though we have made enough money for us to raise salaries. You all have done a wonderful job. I will liaise with HR. Expect those emails." I said. Everyone cheered and I liked to see smiles on their faces. They would only be happy to work for us when they are happy with the benefits they get.Once the meeting ended we cornered Tunde in the conference room, just the three of us and I used my phone to shut off the surveillance cameras so that we could effectively speak to our nit wit brother.———-Femi.“Oya what is going on with you, quickly.” Kola said.“I don’t understand why you guys are attacking me like this” Tunde replied. I noticed h
