Bonus Chapter [Dumbi 9]
I honestly haven't imagined falling in love before and I never planned to fall in love with Sandra. She has been running through my mind all day. It was so unusual and also unbelievable. It is like seeing a ten foot giant falling down with just a slight push.
Who would have ever thought or imagined, do playboys and cassanova's fall in love. The realization was quiet shocking. I kept noticing her beauty everyday, I looked forward to speaking to her everday. She lightens up my mood, she makes me laugh than I usually do. I can not really explain the excitement I get when she starts up a conversation with me. She was still bothered about her dad and mum's break up, but I was glad she was taking it well, like she has come to accept it. I really care about Sandra now, I know I will soon be leaving their house, I already started having a longing feeling.
If this was truly the feeling of love I think I like it already. I felt high and

The early morning light illuminated my room and a touch of sun broke on the horizon. Roosters were crowing. A bird chirped nearby. My stomach churned loudly as I got up from my bed. The worms in my stomach kept murmuring and making noise like kindergartener's on their break period. Suddenly I felt a needle like pain in my lower abdomen, then it clicked, the monthly visitor was on its way. I hurried to my desk calendar that was placed on a table at arms length to my bed. "My periods!" I groaned loudly, as I fell flat down on my bed. I stared widely at the white ceiling, my eyes drifting to the purple wallpapers, black leather chairs and vanity table. My lips widened into a smile as I admired the artistic decoration of my room. The touch of purple has always been a loud one. The smile came off as the horror of menstral cramps popped into my min

A drop, two drops, three drops and boom! It came down pouring like a child urinating in a lylon bag.We now have to beg the rain to fall, God really does wonders as we heard it fell in some places yesterday, few months back we were all telling it to stop, when it finally stopped, we all suddenly want it back. But the only thing we got couldn't fill a Cway water bottle to the brim, yet the sun was always laughing at us and doesn't fail to lick our clothes dry on Saturdays. The heat was unbearable, strippers would be glad of their profession, at least it's the only job that doesn't require suit or corporate dressing.The smell of the rain drifted to my nose as I peeped from the window close to my bed, it was a mixture of sun baked sand and rain. The coolness and breeze it came with caressed my skin like a lover's touch, making the hair at my nape stand attention. Then something else spoilt it all.The smell of nail pol

Flash backI sat down in my class waiting patiently for the time keeper to ring the bell for the end of this long break period. I raised my head up, dragging my yellow chair backwards, cringing at the scratchy irritating sound it made. The class was noisy and it being near the staff room which housed all class teachers made us a regular customer for punishments.I looked around the class like an hawk in search of a prey, everyone seems to be minding their business, preparing for the forthcoming exams which were up in a few weeks time, the white board was already wiped off by the class rep, only the date could be seen on it, to my surprise every chairs and tables were placed in their right places, not the usual upside-down kind of arrangement.

The rays of the early morning sun slanted through the opened window of my room, illuminating it with its brightness. A beautiful new Saturday it was. I yawned loudly, folding myself under the covers and sinking my head into my soft pillow. I couldn't go to kene's party yesterday cause I had cramps. Mum kept on insisting it was the junks I kept eating, but that won't stop me from eating those sugary things."Adesewa did you go back to sleep?" my mum shouted, making me groan loudly.Isn't it too early, sometimes I wonder if she never gets tired, she was the very strong type. A Tom boy back in her days, I can't count the number of guys she told me she floored and dad was not excluded.We just finished devotion and I was actually about to go back to sleep, before she shouted. For crying out loud, it's still so early. Now I wish I had gotten my own apartment.Sighing, I threw back my covers and sat up. Before I could stand, a cramp tightened my abdominal muscles.

It's still a miracle he was still fit and standing straight unlike his friends who were already slouching.Alonge looked at me briefly, arched his eyebrow and then looked away, pretending he didn't see anything.

But at this moment, questions were brimming like a volcano about to erupt."Welcome dad" I replied, scratching my head in embarrassment, as I tucked in my swollen lips in between my teeth."Good evening Sir" Kene greeted with ease, as if something didn't just happen.This
