Bonus chapter [Niyi 9]

With today being a Saturday, Alma came to spend sometime with me. One thing I noticed was that she has been extra touchy, she wants to be cuddled, spooned and kissed. I personally don't see it as a big deal since everyone knows us as candidates for the altar.But I'm just kind of shocked, Alma has been hammering on the no sex before marriage and I have been respecting her decision, I don't lead us through anything that might lead to sex, but right now she was making things more difficult for us, me most especially. I have got needs, manly needs. I have been celibate for months and just a slight push will resort into hours of love making, which we have both been avoiding.We were both sitting on a long plush three seater sofa, watching a football match between Barcelona and Chelsea. Alma was seated in between my legs, with her hands caressing my bare chest. I sighed heavily as she kept making movements that were arousing me. I felt she was doing this intentionally

Finally she was going to be mine, the wedding bells has been resounding since the moment I asked Alma to marry me and she said Yes, she freaking said yes. I don't think I have ever been this happy before. Today was like the happiest day of my life. I smiled at my grooms men and they gave me a salute wave. I was standing right in front of the altar, waiting patiently for my bride to be, Alma. I looked around the large church, rolls of chair were placed orderly and the different kinds of lightenings placed at different corners of the church illuminated the hall, giving it a kind of peaceful aura. Suddenly the keyboardist played a tune, I looked back and my gaze met with that of my wife to be. She was walking down the aisle with her brother. I smiled at her, I got myself a priceless woman. One who wasn't ashamed of her brother's condition. I was expecting her uncle or someone else to walk her down the aisle, but she am

Hadiza The half Nigerian moon in the clear blue sky illuminated the bed room with its light. The shadow of the Mango tree and the tall straight pawpaw tree in the compound can be seen looking monstrous on the walls. I sighed heavily as I watched my husband sleep. My dear husband, the man whom I fell in love with sleeping at the edge of our bed.I never imagined my wedding night to be a lonely one, what about my dreams of being in the hands of the one who I love. I folded myself up on my side of the bed like a question mark without a dot. This marriage is a sham, maybe a legal sham.

Hadiza The weather is so cold today, I'm glad I didn't fail to cover up well. My bump was showing clear for the world to see, I could see the wondering eyes of people, the way some smilled at me and the hideous look some gave. Being a writer, I decided to spend my Monday morning in the local library so I can work on a new plot. The voices in my head needs to come alive on paper, before I go crazy. Writing, that's the only one thing that keeps me sane. I doubled up my steps so as to hide myself from the eyes of people. "Finally " I whispered softly, as I opened the old rusty door of the Library. Mrs Lola, the librarian held on to a clipboard and marker, as she bent over to cross examine some books on the monstrous bookshelves that looked like they could collapse anytime. As usual I am the only one who comes into the library this early.

I woke this morning feeling very happy, I have an appointment with my doctor today and I definitely want to meet up with Doctor Pete early. I zipped up my blue skinny jeans and adjusted my black fitted turtle necked top. It absolutely blended well with my fair skin colour. I checked myself out in the full standing mirror in our room, I rubbed my hands on my baby bump, winking at my myself in the mirror and then blowing a kiss. My baby bump wasn't really showing, it wasn't obvious but if one look closely the little curve will be seen. I chuckled as I grabbed my Orange Kimono, walking out of the room with confidence, ignoring Bayo totally as he tried knotting his ugly blue tie. "Good morning." Abdul called out forcefully as I stepped into the sitting room. It was c

HadizaThe chirps of the morning birds woke me up, I yawned loudly. Stretching on the bed and wriggling my toes. I looked to the other side of the bed, Bayo wasn't there. I rolled my eyes, hissing lowly. Did that guy really apologize last night. If apologizing was like legal maybe we won't have securities or there won't even be a law, everyone can just apologize for their wrongs. I got up from the bed and pulled a long shirt over my tank top. I padded barefooted all the way to the sitting room. I made a note to go and visit my dad today, my curious self can't wait to find out what he has been hiding. "Good morning, Hadiza." Bayo called out smiling at me.I nodded my head in response, looking away to find Abdul watching us."How was your night? Hope you slept well?" he asked.

Abdul I felt highly relieved after vocally telling Hadiza how I felt. I have crossed one Ocean and I have two more Oceans to cross. Right now, I am looking for a way to approach Bayo. I need him to admit to me the reason why he married Hadiza in the first place. He has to tell me everything. I paced round the sitting room, impatiently waiting for Bayo to come out of the room. He just came back some few minutes back. This is the best time to confront him since Hadiza hasn't gotten back from her father's house. I heard the door of his room opening, and I became alert immediately. "Bayo!" I called out, raising my voice higher, so he won't have any excuse of saying he didn't hear me call. "Is there a problem?" he replied, eyeing me. "There is no problem, but a problem will come up if you don't spill." I said angrily.
