Previously...Femi.I walked into the room to see that she was still sleeping. Normally, she would have woken at the sound of water from the bathroom but I guessed drugs were involved. The only issue I was having was that Matthew, the bane of my existence, was awake, sitting on the edge of his bed and folding his arms."So, where are you coming from?" Matthew asked, folding his arms.I rolled my eyes. "Got held by a police man with something against me" I said quietly while walking to put some clothes on so I could sleep."That's a very thought out lie. She won't suspect a thing." He said. It wasn't a surprise that he didn't believe me. I would have been shocked if he did."How about because there's nothing to be suspicious of? Look, I know you won't believe that I'm telling the truth but I am. What kind of a guy would I be if I went to fro-lick with some chick when my girlfriend is in the hospital fighting for her life." I said still quietly. I didn't want to wake Ama up."Yeah okay.
Previously...Ama.I had asked Femi to try and take me outside because I was frustrated of always lying and sitting in here. I couldn't walk on my own so I could not go by myself. But the doctor didn't want me exerting myself for some reason. Femi had left already to get permission from the doctor to take me outside. I was sure that it included threatening the poor man but as long as there was no fighting and pummeling, I was good.I was eating my last bite of bacon when Femi walked in excitedly."We're clear. I'll take you when you're ready babe." He said and grabbed the wheelchair from the side and expanded it.I smiled "Thank you, but wait, I know you... how did you get him to agree?"Femi chuckled "I appealed to his conscience. You've been in here for two weeks without seeing the sun and sky... I threw in your mental health and he bought it." He lied. I knew he was lying. He wasn't looking at me while speaking.I looked at him from under my lashes. "Femi Akinjola... you threatened
Previously...Ama.Femi looked at me with a seriousness. My heart started thudding. I just hoped he wouldn't lie to me. I was genuinely scared that he would act suspiciously."Um, so I told you I went to Tunde's house first and then I also went to Kola's. Thinking about it now, like I told your brother last night, I should have just told them to meet me at a bar or maybe Brass and Copper so I could have saved time." He started. He had a valid point. He burnt a lot of fuel going back and forth between lekki and Ikoyi. Tunde lived in Ikoyi while Kola lived in Richmond Lekki. His parents lived in Banana Island which was also in Ikoyi. He didn't section the visits well that was for sure."Yeah I know. You didn't plan those visits well I must say." I said.He chuckled "Yeah so, I went to my parents' place. It was kind of important stuff. My mom wasn't happy so I tried to make her come around before I could leave. That included me staying there for a long while because she said she missed m
Previously..."Fems, you can tell me. I promise I won't judge or freak out" Ama said.I sighed "Okay baby. So her brother saw me yesterday at the bridge like I said and then told me how his sister tried to kill herself after I stood her up at the altar. I was so mortified. I didn't even know what to think. Before I could even process anything this man was already in my car along with one of his hench men." I said and looked at her.Ama looked confused. She wasn't looking directly at me which scared the crap out of me. "You're not saying anything.""Yeah I am just um, just trying to process this. It's actually a very huge deal." She said.I bent my head and closed my eyes. The pain in my chest was piercing. I was really hoping she would give me the benefit of the doubt and actually encourage me. It also was only naturally to be disgusted with me as I was an absolute dick head to Dreya.My head jerked up when I felt her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her."You look a hot mess. Why the
Previously...Femi.I didn't want to give it away that I was trying to propose to her though so I was very smart with the questions."You know I went to see my mom and dad yesterday nah" I said and she nodded."Yeah it's true. How are they?" She asked."They're good. But they just re confirmed the reason why I didn't like to go and see them before. Always asking me for a wife and grandchildren." I said and watched her reaction.She breathed in and then out again. "Well, all parents are like that. But do you even want to get married?""I mean... I don't know yet. What about you? Do you see marriage in the picture for you?" I asked her.She shrugged and I smiled a little. She looked at me suspiciously "Ah ah why the smile?" She said and cracked out a grin."I'm just smiling and um, anticipating your answer so spill." I said and chuckled when she playfully side eyed me again.She shrugged again "I'm a bit so so about it. I do want to get married but I want it to mean a whole lot. Marriag
Previously...Femi.I paused. Was the universe trying to kill me? How did she know to say this now while I was with Ama."Okay I'll be down in a bit." I said and continued moving. Ama looked at me but I avoided looking at her just to plan what lie I would tell her. I didn't want her knowing that I was going to give her a kidney.Once we entered the elevator, she turned her head up to me "what was she talking about. What test?""It's um, the guy that's supposed to give you a kidney. He's having a serum test today again ahead of the surgery. I asked if I could come whenever that's happening and they said it was fine." I told her making sure to stare at her. The door opened and I rolled her into the hallway and back into her room."I don't understand this though. Why do you have to go to this thing. I'm sure the lab scientists know exactly how to do their jobs very well. You need only wait for results." She said. She wasn't buying my lie. I couldn't change it now so I had to sell it bett
Previously….Femi.He knew he had crossed me. I on the other hand was not here to fight. I was just here to talk. There was a lot I wanted to tell him. He was being a fool when it came to Ama and it was getting boring."What is there to talk about? We are not friends. You've made that abundantly clear." He said and sat back in his chair."Is it?" I raised my brows "Well if you weren't stalking my girl then maybe it would be a different story but you are. And let's be honest it's getting creepy. What the fuck?" I said. I was not here to beat about the bush.He chuckled and adjusted in his seat "Your girl? Oh please. I know she still has feelings for me. She's probably with you because of the clout."I laughed at his statement. Clout? What clout? "What bloody clout are you talking about? No blog has even reported about us yet. She hasn't even tried to expose our relationship so what rubbish clout is that. You're just telling yourself anything at this point Chike. I didn't reckon you wer
Previously...Femi"You're one to talk about treating someone like utter crap. You, Femi. The original Yoruba demon. Community sperm sharer. You're talking about that?""Watch your tongue mate." I said aggressively. Chike stopped talking probably because he knew I was going to bust his face in if he spoke out of line again."I do not appreciate you gaslighting me. I asked you a question. Answer or continue being dumb." I said with a little growl.His eye twitched again and he gulped. "Look, I let the money I was making get to my head okay. I was enjoying the attention girls were giving me and I went with the flow but that doesn't mean I was never in love with her. I didn't call her because I'm my dar twisted head I thought I don't need her. I had the other girls but that shit dies down after a while. Now I'm here to take my girl back."I chuckled "you sound very insane Chike. Can't believe you. I knew there was a reason why I didn't like you when we first met."He frowned "What the h
