All Chapters of ECHOES✔️: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Temi   We had come back for prep late, when almost everyone had left the hall. Of course, Timi has been the one to delay me, initiating different techniques to get me to kiss or touch him, to end his punishments. The hallway leading to my dormitory was really quiet as the only sound that could be heard was that of crickets who had managed to enter into the hostel, disturbing students from their sleep. Prep had been fun, apart from the several weird glances I had received  from Sarah. It could have even be counted as glare.  I had ransacked my brain for anything I must have done to cause that but it had been to no avail, maybe she was just in a really bad mood. The door was close by already till a voice called out to me. "Oh jeez, Sarah you almost gave me a fright." I jumped a little at her form that had been standing close to the entrance of the door blocked by the

Tunji  I walked into the large office and slowly closed the door behind me. Turning around to be faced with the chestnut colored book shelf with different books arranged neatly in them. Walking in further, I was met with my father's office desk with different paper works scattered around it. Mum's picture rested on the desk, cladded in a big frame with hearts around it. It had been a long time the office had been graced my presence. I had always avoided going into his office as it brought back many memories of things I don't want to be reminded of, but I had to do what had to be done. He was a lawyer and a business associate with Timi's father. If anyone had the evidence I was looking for, he had to be the one. I pushed and pulled several lockers as I searched for what was on my head, going through different files and documents, I couldn't find what I was looking for. He had to have it! He had to! He should

Temi The continuous humming of the moving fan blown by the breeze escaping through the window pavement could have counted as a distraction if I were truly concentrating on my environment. The windows shattered against their frame as a howling sound rose, my mother's sighs and humms filled the house, coming from the kitchen where she was preparing a special delicacy as she had called it. Three weeks had passed after the huge bomb that had been revealed on me and I had done everything to avoid Timi. I couldn't go back to the hostel, not after that. Sarah and I were not on talking terms, Ope was the girlfriend of Fikkie, who was the best friend to Timi. The very one I had been avoiding for three weeks. I asked for a break up and it looked like he was respecting the decision and I am glad he did seems like he was in a shock of his own. Tunji was a topic I was wishing to not dwell on because anytime I remembered what he had d

We were alone in the classroom. I was alone with him and I had nowhere to run to or escape. He was standing in front of me, his face carrying a fond look as he looked at my form like he had been starving from it. His eyes roamed all over me and I felt the heat follow through as his eyes landed over my lips, taking a little time before looking finally at my eyes. I was speechless, standing immobile at the edge of the table with a thundering heart. He was a distant from me as he stared at me with intense eyes. I was breathing hard and fast like he was actually touching me. The feeling was scary and at the same time pleasing. Sparks that had been missing in my body buzzed around me like a grinding machine and I felt heat pull around in my core.  The hairs on my body stood up as I felt goosebumps begin to come out. I was feverish and at the same time, I was cold. The feeling was intense. The power he had over me was just too much an

6 years later.Temi."Hey mum, yeah, I just landed. There's no need for you to come pick me. I know my way around, I mean it's just few years. Okay mum." I replied all to my mum as I dragged my traveling box behind me, the box making tumbling and racking sound.Phew.It had been six years. Six years ago, I had left everything behind, going and moving on for a new change which I had found.I had traveled to New York City, to study more on children and I had ended up become a child therapist. It had been a painful pathway with my mum but yeah, I had done it.The family members that had been threatening for child custody were all refused immensely after being taken to the court of law. Since I had been sixteen, the judge had asked me to choose and obviously, I had chosen mum.I was a children therapist, rooted in counseling and psychological theories, a child psychologist, an expert on how to help children manage depression, mental illness and evaluating children who are experiencing emot
