All Chapters of At Arm's length : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

There was something about the sky today. It looked different, it was clear, all bluish without the usual white drifting clouds. I sighed heavily. I had this feeling that things were about to change all of a sudden, like things were about to become absolutely different. After I sent Mr Okorie out of my house last week, he never checked back on me again, and I don't blame him though.  The morning sickness and all other weird cravings are yet to stop, my periods were also late. Checking through the internet made me realize that, they were pregnancy symptoms. I have been keeping this huge fact to myself, I was scared to go to the hospital for a test. I was dreading the confirmation of the pregnancy. The only thing I could do was get some pregnancy skits, but the thing is that I have not got the boldness to try them out. I padded barefooted to the kitchen, I was craving for some prawn crackers. I was glad I had them in the upper cupboard in

You know one thing people say about falling in love, they say it is the best thing that ever happened to them. But then why do people who were once in love divorced, is it that love is like a drug that wears of or something. This one that everyone around me are falling in love.  Yeah, I and Sandra has been at loggerheads at each other. We rarely see each other face to face, we were like fire and water, we must not cross paths. I left my room having it in mind I was going to a pepper soup joint to enjoy life. The pepper soup joint wasn't a cheap restaurant, one has to spend a lot. Mostly, only the rich go there to eat.  "Dumbi for the girls," A voice called out as I stepped foot into the restaurant. The restaurant as this touch of homely, welcoming look. Christmas decorations were already over it. It was a beautiful sight to behold.  I looked closely at the guy, and real

 "Dumbi."  Sandra called, but I didn't dare look back. I just continued walking faster. I was really surprised to see her outside the class. It was clearly obvious she has been waiting for me, for a long time. I just wasn't in the mood to talk or listen to her. Alex keeps telling me I am being childish, but who cares. "Dumbi just give me five minutes of your time," she yelled out. I sighed heavily before pausing, I turned around to face her. "Okay, just five minutes. Nothing more." I said, crossing my arms around my chest. "Thank you." she whisphered, I let my gaze rove over her. I did not like what I was seeing at all. She was wearing a baggy shorts and an over sized T shirt.  "I'm so sorry Dumbi for what I said to you last time, I seriously don't know what came over me the other day. I simcerely apologize. Please don't be mad at me." she whisphere

I woke up this morning feeling refreshed, I was kind of excited and happy, I and Sandra has gotten more closer than before surprisingly. "I have been noticing something about you Dumbi, recently." Alex said, looking at me weirdly. I rolled my eyes at him. "Alex, please what are you noticing." I asked, buttoning up the black shirt I just wore. "It is surprising me though, most time you act like a lady on her periods. It is unusual to see you this happy." Alex replied. "Is it not a good thing to be happy?" I asked. "Of course it is," He replied. "Anyways, we are going to the beach today, will you love to come with us?" he asked.  "We? As in you and who?" I asked instead.  He faced palmed and I rolled my eyes. "Sandra and I of course." he replied. "Oh! That is fine. I w

 Harmattan came so fast this year. The wind kept on blowing dusts around. The weather was cold, my lips kept getting dry and I licked it at intervals.  Sandra and I were taking a public transport to her parents home, Alex was already there waiting for us. "A lip gloss will help out than you licking it every seconds," Sandra said, glaring at me. I chuckled softly, watching her closely, one thing I noticed was that this lady keeps getting beautiful each day.  I smiled widely, biting my dry lips. Christmas was in a few weeks time. I was spending this week with Alex's family. And they were spending next week with I and my family, that was simply friendship goals. I got transferred to a private school successfully, thanks to my dad. So I have no problem with the scorpion cultism group, they could go and look for another asset for all I care. "Why are you smiling Dumbi?" Sandra asked, raising an eyebrow
