Semua Bab CONQUERED: Bab 31 - Bab 40

IrisSeeing Nelly didn't feel awkward as I thought it would be. What happened between us, didn't happen everyday or to everyone. It is weird having your best friend who works for you confess that they have feelings for you, but what is even more weird though, is if that friend is of the same sex as you,especially if you are not gay."Ma'am?" Nelly's call wakes me up from my thoughts."Yes." "There is something I didn't say yesterday."What other shocking information could she have for me. I don't even know if my shock absorber can take it anymore."And what would that be?" I inquire."I didn't tell you about the fact that I..."I decide to cut her off, being uncomfortable with the chance that we were in my office, thus may have someone eavesdropping on us."Can't we meet somewhere to discuss it?""It's not something that we can't discuss here.""But I will prefer we do it elsewhere, though if you insi

ENYINNAYA"Fuck! Last two weeks Gregory Malik wasn't my boyfriend!" She yells and I am rendered speechless for a while."How?" I ask."We only started dating again four days ago.""Again?" I question having observed her choice of words."He was my ex boyfriend. We just decided to try dating once again." "Why would you say yes to him, when you know I want a chance to be with you?""I can't keep him waiting. I need to go back, we can talk some other time if it's important to you." "No. We have to talk now, tell him we have something to settle and just set another date with him please." I beg."And why would I do that?" She asks ready to throw her usual tantrums, but I don't have the energy to fight her. "Please Iris. Please, you can at least do this much for me." I plead again and I guess she sees my sincerity."Fine. I'll go tell him that." She replies and I feel glad about it, but I refuse to trust h

IRISMy phone rings for the umpteenth time,  yet I don't get up to pick the call as I already know who the caller is. A notification for a message comes up and I can already guess who the sender is.Gregory Malik.I take my phone from the reading table and open up the message, it reads;Hey babe, what's up?Been trying your number but you ain't picking up. Just wanted to hear your mellifluous voice before I start my day.Do give me a call when you read this dear.Confused, I just decide to ignore the message. I lazily lift myself from my queen sized bed, and throw a large tee shirt over my body that stops just midthigh giving me enough space for easy motion. I stroll idly to my dining room to make myself a cup of coffee. A knock on my sitting room door alerts my otherwise dull senses. I want to call kemi to go check out who is at the door but decide against it. I am curious as to

NELLY"What are you doing here?" I question, just as I let my door open wide, allowing him entrance into my house."I need to talk to you. Please.""What about? I thought I already made it clear that I don't want to see you nor talk to you anymore?"He nods."Yeah, I know. But I really do want to talk to you, can't you give me a chance to do that? Please Nelly."His eyes faced with desperation, sincerity, regret and some other emotions I couldn't fathom so I decide to let him in and listen to what ever it was that he wanted to tell me about.I walk myself away from the door to allow him entrance into my sitting room and he walks in."Stop acting like a stranger and just take a sit, Biko."He sits down obediently like a good child.I take a chair adjacent to the one he is sitting on, making sure to keep a reasonable distance from him, being fully aware that I could be in danger if I got too close to him.It'

IrisThree Weeks LaterThe vibration coming from my phone had me hissing at my phone for interrupting my beautiful sleep. I ignore the phone and return back to sleep, but the continuos ring doesn't give room for that. "Who could be calling me this early in the morning?" I grumble, while reluctantly standing up from my bed. "Ooh, Nelly!" I grumble, after Checking the caller ID and finding it to be hers. "Why is she calling me this time around eh?" I ask nobody, thus there is no response."Good morning ma." She greets."What do you want?" I don't bother to greet or try to be courteous."Wawuu! Girl what's up? Did I chase after you with a gun in your dream last night?" She's trying to play funny, but I'm not exactly in the mood for that, so I just decided l to bluff her."Abeg say what you want to say joor and say it quick ooo because I need to get back to bed.""Heeee! Madam Iris, it's a weekday, I'm sure you s
