Got Carried Away

Got Carried Away After a few hours, I was at home, lounging in my favorite chair, watching a movie on Sony Max. I had just finished my house chores and was finally enjoying some quiet time when the doorbell rang."Who is there?" I called out."Come on, will you open the door for me?"Wow. That voice. I knew it instantly—it was Cynthia.Without wasting a second, I hurried to the door and swung it open. And there she was, standing with a small tray in her hands. It was neatly covered, but I could already catch the aroma of something fried—probably chin-chin."Can I come in?" she asked, her eyes locking onto mine. I must have looked dazed because I just stood there, frozen in place. I wasn’t expecting her, and damn, she looked gorgeous. With the tray in her hands, she reminded me of a traditional Igbo bride on her wedding day."Oh, please, forgive my manners," I finally said, stepping aside to let her in.She walked straight to the chair and settled down. "What are you watching? And do

Mom and I

Mom and IThat evening, she came home looking exhausted, her face weighed down by the stress of the day. I didn’t need to ask how work went—I could see it in her eyes. Without wasting time, I quickly heated some water for her shower. While she was in the bathroom, I set the table for dinner, making sure everything was perfect. By the time she came out, wrapped in her robe, her face looked a little more relaxed.She walked over to the dining table, eyes scanning the neatly arranged plates. Then, turning to me with a small, grateful smile, she clasped her hands together like she was about to pray.“Thank you,” she said softly.I smiled back. “Oh, come on, Mom. You don’t have to thank me every time.”“What would I do without you, my baby?” she sighed dramatically, shaking her head.That made me blush. My mom never forgets to praise me for even the smallest things I do. And honestly, I love it. Those little words of appreciation make everything worth it.As we started eating, silence didn

Dream About Cynthia

Dream About Cynthia"Jesus! What kind of demonic teacher do you people have in that school?" Mom exclaimed. "What will they gain if the kids miss the quiz? Please, help me go drag that sleeping Damian out. The cute Heather is still snoring."I never thought Cynthia would want to come into my room alone after what happened yesterday. But she actually did. One of the main reasons I didn’t want to go to school today was because I was scared to face her after everything. I thought maybe she wouldn’t want to talk to me anymore. So when I realized she was in my room—alone—I was shocked.Even though my eyes were closed, I wasn’t asleep. I was fully aware of my surroundings. I knew when she walked in, but I assumed it was Mom coming to force me out of bed for breakfast like always. To my surprise, it wasn’t her.Cynthia entered the room like she owned the place, walked over, and sat on the bed with her feet still on the floor. Then, out of nowhere, she leaned in and pressed a soft, wet kiss o

Beatrice and the Poem

Beatrice and the PoemIt was actually funny because just when I was enjoying that dream—the kind of dream I wished was real—Mom came knocking at my door."Damie, it’s dawn! Get yourself washed up and get ready for school."God! I felt like crying. I tried to go back to sleep, hoping I could continue the dream, but it was useless. One thing about good dreams is that they come once, and they never repeat themselves.I sighed, forcing myself out of bed. I hurried through my morning routine, washing up as fast as I could before throwing on my uniform. When I finally stepped into the sitting room, Cynthia was already there, waiting for me. Mom had left while I was still in the bathroom.I couldn’t even bring myself to look Cynthia in the face. After what happened earlier, I felt too embarrassed. Instead, I quickly rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of cookies, and poured myself a cup of tea before heading to the dining table."So, you won’t even call me to join you? What a stingy sou

Spoiled Brat

Spoiled BratIt was a shame, really. Beatrice was so shameless that she couldn’t even pick up on the hint I was giving her."Beatrice, right? This poem is for my girlfriend, Cynthia. I’m sure you know her already." I pushed the paper toward her. "Take a look. Do you think she’ll like it?"I just wanted to piss her off enough to make her leave me alone, but this Beatrice? She was one hell of a stubborn girl."Hmm, well, I don’t see her around," she said with a sly grin. "How about we just add my name in there instead? Yeah, why not? Let’s put my name in the poem. She’ll love that, haha."She spoke sarcastically, then grabbed my hand and placed it on her lap. God! The feeling was something else—her bare lap was so soft. Her skirt was ridiculously short, making everything worse. As if that wasn’t enough, she slowly dragged my hand under her skirt, looking me straight in the eyes with that teasing, mind-messing gaze."Hey! What is wrong with you?" I yanked my hand away immediately, trying

The Poem

The PoemWhen I unfolded the paper, I gave them the theme of the poem, which was "SORRY." Then I continued with the recitation."Sorry,Do you know that I have been wondering?Yes, I have been wondering what my world would be likeIf I didn't have you in it.Now, it has become a reality that you,Yes, you—my beloved Cynthia—might be mad at me.Come on, Cynthia, you don’t have to be mad at Damian.You know I would never do anything, willingly or unwillingly,That might hurt you.You see, baby,I am looking forward to the future,Hoping you’ll be with me forever.Growing old together, as happy as couples can be.I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy.I might not have truly committed those offenses intentionally,But what else can I do but say sorry?Yes, I am sorry, and I can’t be sorry enough.And I’m sorry for being selfish.I love you completely, with all of my heart.And I will love you forever—Till death do us part... if you will permit it."After I finished recitin

The Housemaster

The HousemasterI followed the girl to the housemaster’s office. When we got there, we found him standing outside, as if he had been waiting for me. He stood right in front of the door, gripping a long cane in his hand. He was a well-built man, probably in his late thirties or early forties, dressed in a yellow T-shirt and black joggers. As soon as he saw me, he narrowed his eyes in annoyance and rubbed his hands together, like he was preparing for a lecture—or worse, punishment."Where have you been?" he demanded, his voice sharp. "I’ve sent more than five students to look for you.""Sorry, sir, I’ve been in class," I answered quickly."In class?" He raised an eyebrow. "Doing what? Are you even supposed to be in the class right now? No, tell me. What exactly were you doing there? That’s the problem with you students. When it’s time for lectures, you disappear. But when there’s nothing happening, that’s when you all gather in class, doing God knows what."At school, very few students

Chuks Design

Chuks DesignI could completely relate to Cynthia. When we moved to a new place and my mom had to be jobless for a while, I noticed she was much more caring as a stay-at-home mom than when she was working. But that didn’t mean I liked her staying at home.That evening, I was at home, dressed and waiting, hoping to see Cynthia walk into our house looking radiant and beautiful. I had asked Mom several times if she really discussed the dinner with Aunty Paula and her husband. But every time I asked, she kept saying she did and that they had agreed to let Cynthia go with us.So where was she?Mom would soon be done getting ready, and I was growing impatient. After staring out the window for what felt like forever, I got tired and sat down in the living room to wait. I was already fully dressed.I wore my oxblood suit with a black floral design—one that Mom had gotten for me when we had a parent-student dinner at my boarding school in the East. The suit was tailored by one Mr. Chuks, a wel

Mind Reader

Mind ReaderGod! When Aunty Paula said that, I wanted to bury my head in the sand like an ostrich. But oh well, all is well. Whatever my mom might have done behind my back, I could see it was working in my favor. Cynthia kept blushing and stealing glances at me. At least now, both our moms knew we had a thing, and they seemed okay with it. Hmm… I’d say that’s progress."Okay, we should get going so we can be back early," Mom said.We were taking Mom’s car. Oh, did I mention the car had finally arrived? Yeah, but she couldn’t use it to drive me to school since my school and her workplace were in completely different directions.We all stood up and walked to the car. Aunty Paula escorted us outside, waving us off before heading back inside.When we arrived at the venue, I immediately noticed it wasn’t a place for young people. The atmosphere was sophisticated, with a mature crowd filling the hall. But I wasn’t surprised. Mom had already told me it was a birthday party for one of her col

The Dance

The DanceWhen I heard her thoughts, I felt a strong urge to grab her by the hair and drag her down until she apologized to Mom. But she was lucky—this was a public place, and I couldn’t afford to create a scene."Hmm, he is very handsome. Look at those fine eyes and blond hair," the woman said out loud, pretending to admire me. Then she turned to Mom with a fake smile. "And who is the beautiful girl with him?""Oh, this is Cynthia, my son's friend," Mom replied warmly. "She’s a lovely girl, isn't she?"Mom was right—Cynthia was stunning. A true beauty, and I felt proud just sitting beside her. Cynthia blushed at the compliment, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink.The woman, however, was a two-faced snake. Her thoughts and words were worlds apart."Like mother, like son," she sneered in her mind. "He’s already following in her footsteps. Now that she’s letting him take someone’s daughter out on a night date, I’m sure she won’t mind if he sleeps with this poor innocent girl next."
