After the close of work, I sauntered outside the building of my workplace, when the blast of horn caught my attention. I looked at the car, unable to detect whose car it whose until the window slid down slowly revealing the person’s face. I gasped when I saw him it was Xavier. My mouth flew open as I mouthed ‘You didn’t tell me you were coming.’ He walked over to where I stood. He cupped my face, a smile elongated over his face as he pressed a kiss to my hair softly. I gazed into his eyes; those unspoken words already meant something to me. ‘I have a surprise for you’ He said, turning his gaze towards his car. I pushed myself forward slightly, trying to squint myself to see it. I didn’t see nothing; I couldn’t catch a glimpse of anything at all. Xavier is always full of surprise isn’t it. ‘I guess your surprise would forever keep coming. Keep it coming’ I said softly, turning my chin upward. My tone going low ‘What surprise is it this time around?’ I asked raising my legs, so that

‘What’s missing here?’He glanced at the photo in his hands, before he spoke ‘I don’t know too.’ I looked at him not convinced at what he had just said and it seemed he picked it up ‘Believe me, I do not know, wifey and it’s just a picture so, nothing that deep’ He said, tucking the picture in between the pages of the photo album.‘Can I text Racheal? I miss her, Xavier’ I asked, waiting for his advice, because it was what I followed.‘You really care a lot about her. Don’t you?’ He paused as he said those words.‘Anyone can tell. It’s that obvious baby. You of all people know that Racheal is like my second life line’ I replied. Still not satisfied, I asked again ‘So can I text her?’‘Go ahead’ He replied looking at me briefly before keeping his photo album away.I punched her digits on my phone, I don’t know why I didn’t search for her name, when I would see it for sure. But it was past that already. The phone rang, indication it was forwarding to the owner of the call’s I.D.She pic

'Renee. Reneee,' he called my name out, but I was silent. 'We are humans. We all have emotions and doubt is inevitable. Although, it hurts that you doubt me, I wouldn’t lie.' I squinted my eyes, and my vision blurred, tears flowing down freely to my cheek, soaking the shirt he had on.'I’m sorry.' 'It’s fine. It’s fine. As long as it isn’t constant, right? That’s all that matters, wifey.' He wrapped his hands around my head. 'I’m so sorry, Xavier, forgive—' I burst out crying the more. A wife is supposed to trust her husband. The solid trust was what a marriage was built on, at least successful marriages, but I lacked it. What had I been thinking? Fuck. 'The truth is,' I said against his chest, inhaling his new crystal cologne at the same time, 'ever since our wedding day, I have been feeling unsettled. I thought you were an entirely different person. Even Racheal, my friend, joked about that I married the wrong man. And now I accused you because of I heard your lit

‘Brother Aiden’ The girl called out again, running past me toward where she pointed the direction of her fingers at. I straightened myself up, turning my whole body to where she went.She ran to Xavier who stood at the top of the staircase, and with the way Grace ran, I began to mumble words of ‘Don’t fall or slip girl’I noticed him go limp. He froze as his eyes settled on Grace who was still running towards him. I also watched as her legs carried her up the stairs. His gaze flew to me, and I smiled at him. At least, I had to before I get an explanation about what was going on. About the name I just heard his little sister mutter like it was his.She hugged Xavier when she finally got to him, she turned to me ‘Sister-in-law, this is brother Aiden.’ She said, pointing at him, and smiling repeatedly.‘That’s enough Grace’ He finally spoke after seconds. Hotness crawled slowly and deep under my skin. I looked at the little girl again glaring at her for seconds again. She couldn’t be mi

The bell rang and I genuinely loved that interruption. David was new around here, so we don’t talk. He was employed weeks ago. The only person I talked to once in a while was Zion, but she betrayed me.I saw the gossips in the office private group chat about her being sanctioned, because she was guilty. It wasn’t my thing to talk in group chats and so I left their chattering.‘We will talk later, Mrs. Renee’ He winked at me. It felt strange that he reminded about my husband, Xavier. But Xavier was better at it, his made me falter.I dropped the coffee cup into the stainless sink of the kitchen, and turned on the water tap creating a hissing noise. I cleaned the coffee cup, turning it down. It was a rule that workers clean the stuffs they use after usage.Back in the office, I scrolled through my own desktop, checking my work email to know if I have been assigned more tasks or not.EMAIL: A reminder to complete your previous task. The retrieved sketch is right in the right drawer.I h

Minutes later, she continued shedding tears even after I tried my best. All efforts proved futile. We stood right outside the morgue, because we were not allowed to enter.Racheal began to bang the door very loudly ‘God damn it. Open this fucking door. You stupid ass set of people. You call yourself doctors, yet you couldn’t do one thing to save her. Why is this a god damn hospital? You all license needs to be seized.’ I watched her continue banging hard, her knuckles would turn weak with the pressure and force she applied with each it.My hand flew to my mouth as I began to sob, tears cascading down my eyes each moment I watch her continue to break away and whither like a leaf that had no life in it.I wanted to reached out to her, but a hand held mine- it was Xavier’s. ‘Xavier.’ I turned to look at him.‘Let her go, she needs space’ He dragged me to him, my chest meeting his. I looked back at her, my body betrayed me again as I tried to force my way out his grip, but he wouldn’t bud
