Synchronized Hearts のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Sleeping early in the morning while the rain is falling can be another form of paradise on earth.I tossed around the wide perimeter of my bed enjoying the soft relaxation my mattress provided, while the cool breeze from the rain, sang a sweet lullaby to me. I hugged my duvet a little tighter and rolled so it enclosed me in its warmth.Sploosh!That could pass for an alarm, but from the painful splash across my face. My eyes flew open from the impact of the water that knocked every wisp of air from my lungs. I sat upright immediately, struggling to inhale and exhale simultaneously. The water was so cold that it stung and snatched every atom of warmth and heat within my grasp.My eyes narrowed at my smirking baptist who stood arm akimbo and tapped her feet constantly on the floor, enjoying my reaction."Harriet!!" I hollered with clenched fists, eyes shut firmly, and furrowed brows before throwing a

"Alex," a chubby-cheeked man with a ginormous moustache called.Alex's face became rigid and stiff immediately and he muttered, "Mallam Tanko."______The hostility in the atmosphere was thick, forged, and toxic that a new knife will go blunt at the attempt of slicing it. My heart heaved up as I tried not to breathe in the poisonous oxygen the air possessed. The two men stood at a fierce and fighting stance. Their eyes communicated thousands of hostile insults, words for words while I stood there like a little kid, observing and trying to appear distinct in the midst."Great to see you here," mallam Tanko said and stretched his hands out for a shake."Same here," Alex replied with clenched teeth and shook his hand firmly that Mallam Tanko winced a little."I hope you are looking forward to our business meeting tomorrow, Alex?""Definitely." Alex cocked a brow and clutched me tighter till I could feel pains around my r

Yesterday's night club outing was an experience that will remain evergreen in my memory. We tasted different expensive wine and liquor. We danced to the latest hip hop music, we played truth and dare, we cruised around Abuja and finally sealed the day up with a mind-blowing sex. I really don't know why I went on and on, having sex with Alex. But what I do know is that I enjoy it and I might have taken Harriet's advice to heart.My boyfriend didn't call me and for the first time, I felt myself feeling comfortable with it. Mom called to know how I was fairing and I gave her all the gist and only excluding the almost death scene of the plane and how I now have sex freely with my boss. If there is one thing that is confirmed, Alex is not only a hot looking geek god but also a bad beast in bed.Everywhere is boring with nothing to do so I decided to explore one of my hobbies. Cooking. If there is one thing Abuja should be praised for, it is the peacefulness and tranquillity

Alex's point of view (POV)__I stood by the shore side of the beach waiting for the hint of any bronze-skinned toned person named Tife.My mind did a little flashback to what happened in the afternoon. Her entire apartment is like a museum of her alleged boyfriend or do I say, ex-boyfriend. Yeah, I think that sounds better, the idea of someone else being her boyfriend tasted like a bitter pill in my tongue.Her walls are filled with photos of the fair-skinned, leaned guy with dreadlocks. At the corner of her table, she had a golden frame of him with big candles of different colours that I'm beginning to wonder if she worshipped him. When people use coloured candles, it could also mean rituals or curses so I'm hoping it is the latter.I stole a glance at her kitchen that was adorned with long beads that served as a decorative ornament to the kitchen and believe me, she has another huge frame of him hung up on the wall. She probably stares at his picture wh

All my life, I have always attended big weddings, ate to my fill without caring if the bride and groom are actually in love or something. Now it is my time to be wedded. It is my time for young girls to feast on my wedding foods without giving a flying fuck if Alex and I are compatible or if the marriage will last.___It is quite fascinating how the reality you know and must have adapted to, changes-- flips like a freaking pancake in a grilling machine. The day before and yesterday, I was single and today, I'm getting married. Although I'm happy to be getting married to my true love after dating for two years.I no longer work at the bank after I discovered that I am four weeks pregnant last week. My mother's store has been expanded to something ginormous-- to a shopping mall. It has always been her dream and Alex helping mother to actualize the dream only made her love him the more and became prouder of me.My brother ha
