Previously...Femi."Femi. Why do you want to bring sorrow to you mother? Ehn omo mi? (My child)" my mom said in utter sadness. I could hear it in her voice. It triggered something in me. I was still not going to back out but it just told me to take a different approach to the situation.I had to stop acting like she wasn't supposed to feel that way because she was. Her feelings were valid as she was my mother. The woman who raised me and loved me so dearly. I was her favorite child. I had to take her paranoia into consideration while making my case.I sighed as I finished collecting my thoughts. "Mummy, I know you're upset and honestly you should be very upset. I can't imagine the scenarios you have going through your head right now. I need you to understand me though. It really wouldn't have come to this if we had other options. You know I have the money to pay for a kidney but we just didn't find one. She's O negative. Same as me. Her roommate was also O negative but she failed the
Previously...Femi."Baby I'm sorry. I'm on my way right now but I'll take you outside tomorrow. The traffic is really packed over here. I'm sorry baby." I apologised. I wasn't about to let her blood pressure rise because of me."It's fine. But were you at your parents for this long?" She asked. She sounded suspicious but I understood why. I did tell her I was coming real soon.I chuckled "Yes I was. My mom was making a fuss about something and I wanted to calm her down. That was it. But then you know she made me stay and eat what they prepared. I'm the favorite child. Wasn't shocked.""I don't know if I should be happy or nervous about meeting your parents someday. Being the favorite is a fickle thing." She said.I laughed "Oh don't worry baby. They love you already. You'll have no problem whatsoever.""I hope so. Anyways I hope you're close. I miss your annoying ass." She said.I smiled sweetly at her words. She was really free with me now. I loved it and I loved her."Oh come off i
Previously…Femi.I sharply stood up and placed my two hands on his chest, pushing him back with force. He went back multiple steps and crashed into the front desk where my old corporal friend was stationed at."Are you fucking sick? Who the fuck do you think you're putting your hands on you son of a bitch!!" I yelled.He charged towards me until we were toe to toe, the corporal who I could see from the side of my eye stood there in fear. What did the police academy actually train.Remi and I were toe to toe now. I snarled at him and he breathed loudly in my face."I dare you to put your hand on me on more time and I swear that would be the last time you ever use your fucking hands. Try me." I growled in his face."You think you're a big gun huh? Well this is my fucking territory and you can't do shit." He said. I saw a hint of fear in his eyes.I smirked "try me, little boy"Remi balled his fist and he was about to strike. I braced myself to catch his fist when he stopped and took hi
Previously...Ama.I didn't like that someone was risking their life for me but I decided that I couldn't be too bothered and just hoped that whoever it was would be okay after the operation. I wouldn't want any sort of guilt on my chest.I was in my room having a chat with my brother and Radike when the entrance opened. I was expecting Femi to walk in but then I saw the last person I ever wanted to see holding flowers and a goodie hamper. "Hello sweetie."I frowned and my blood started to boil. I folded my arms. "What part of stay away from me don't you understand""Ama come on" he smirked "what kind of ex would I be if I didn't show up to see you on your sick bed.""You'd be someone who knows how to read the fucking room." I said. At this point he was still standing at the door.He walked over but Matthew used his body frame to stop Chike. "Watch where you step" my brother growled in his ear.My brother and Chike were face to face now. Matthew was ready to fight but Chike just smile
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
