I woke up to the loud music that filled my ears. One of Chris Brown’s song blasted through my ear hole torturing my ear drums.
Who on earth is causing such a raucous so early in the morning???
I sat up on the bed and quickly wore my night robes tying the belt together.
I climbed down from the bed and wore my flip flops before storming downstairs.
I met Sasha and her stupid boyfriend on the couch holding a cigarette each and puffing their nostrils with smoke.
I slapped the contaminated air before me with my hands.
They’re smoking so early in the morning…So silly!
I scurried to the television and turned off the loud song before facing the two weirdos.
“What’s the meaning of this?!!” I half yelled feeli
• • • • • • • • SASHA • • • • • • •I gazed at the four cornered mirror unable to recognize myself. The red spots were much and irritating.I wonder how this happened. We didn't leave the window open last night.Gosh!I got up from the seat and turned to Zac who was selecting clothes that would cover my body properly so no one else would see the spots and probably make fun of me.The mosquito bites weren't much on him cause he wore a thick coat to sleep last night. It was just his face and lower parts of his legs. Lucky him!I couldn't bring myself to wake up when all this was going on. I was just too tired to flicker my eyelids open and realize what was going on.I grunted angrily and banged the table hard with my palm. It hurts but not as the spots on my skin. The bites were stinging and still tempted me t
• • • • • • STELLA • • • • • • •We were at the entrance of the most populous club in the city, and by 'we', I meant Sasha, Zac and me.The night was lit and a very good aura to shake off the worries and trauma. Tonight is not about my weird father, neither is it about my unforgiving husband or is about the baby gradually growing inside of me.Tonight is simply about one lady - one girl and wife, Stella. I'm not gonna give up this chance for anybody.I also dressed prepared, putting on one of my black short flay skirt and a pink top that had diamonds all over it.The whole atmosphere and ground was buzzing with loud music and people couldn't stop dancing.Wow!It's been ages since I've been to a club. I really thought I had no business here."Meet us at your car once its 9pm. We can't stay
• • • • • • STELLA • • • • • •I blinked rapidly still recovering from the shock I received from seeing Jeremy beside me on the bed.I'm not dreaming, am I?I rubbed my eyes and darted them back to him to see he was still there - sleeping like a little angel.I sighed and stared into his face. I miss him so much and here he is right in front of me!I suddenly felt the strong urge of throwing up. I tried to surpass it but it came with so much discomfort and I rushed to the bathroom.I was almost flying at my mouth got occupied with the strange disgusting substance.I quickly knelt before the toilet and released the milky white stuff in it.It didn't last a minute and I stopped throwing up.I got up panting weakly. I turned around to catch him staring at me.
• • • • • • • • STELLA • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • Midnight • • • • • • •I sat on the bed occupied with reading an article in my phone. Jeremy was getting dressed and I really wanted him to say something - anything! • •I've been keeping up with the silence treatment for hours now and he's almost going crazy. • •I winced as i felt a twinge around my head. Sending my hands to my forehead, I noticed he was staring at me and those strange feelings returned. • •He should say something - anything! • •I rubbed my temple for a while before bringing down my hand. I looked keenly into my cellphone and soon I felt the moves of him climbing on the bed. • •He dropped his head on my thighs staring up at me. • •I held a frown as I looked away from him.• •He snatched the phone off my hand and threw it at the far en
• • • • • • • STELLA • • • • • • •Sasha and Zac cooked again and this time, they weren't so cheesy about each other again. They stood separately and working on the minced meat for the spaghetti we were gonna cook.It got me thinking about what could have started a fire between them? They were in good terms just now. Anyways, like they say. This life is not a bed of roses and nothing 'Sweet' ever lasts."Sasha, can you pass me the vegetables, let me chop them. I really want to help" I asked and she stared at reluctantly."Yeah, right. Like, you don't know Jeremy is the one that asked us to cook! While you drag your butts on a chair watching us" She shot back angrily and I went numb."I had no idea, I just wanted to help... That's all" I stated looking around the full table."Dang it! I forgot my wallet at the grocery store" Zac chipped in feeling his back pockets with his hands.I pitied
• • • • • • • STELLA • • • • • • I was finally relieved when I heard the sound of a car driving in. He’s home! I jumped off the bed and to my dismay, I ran downstairs inorder to embrace him. I met him on the couch operating his phone. He lifted his eyelids at me before dropping them back to the device in his hand. I walked to him swaying my hips around. He noticed my presence and looked up again – his eyes boring into mine. “You look different, Did you make out with that woman?” I asked with a sardonic smirk appearing on my lips. He nodded abruptly and pulled me to sit on his thighs. I gasped a little and adjusted so I don't fall off. “Yeah… She’s so good and her s3x styles are priceless…” He concurred with my claims and to be honest – I got jealous at that moment. I'm super crazy. I was the one that came up with this in the first place and now I've gotten a posit
• • • • • • • JEFFREY • • • • • •I was in the course of reading a book when a tender knock came on the door and I let it come once again before getting out of the bed and going to open it.I unlocked the door and twisted the knob, easing the door open. Nina was standing right outside and in her hands was, two glasses and a bottle of wine. She wore a big smile as she stepped into the room."I'm really sorry to disturb you" She apologized huskily and I smiled shutting the door."No, you aren't disturbing. I could use some company. Also, you weren't home when I came home. You went somewhere?" I asked going to join her on the bed.She sighed and nodded slowly."My mother wanted to see me and find out how I'm holding up... At least she still cares" She whispered her response and luckily, I could hear her."That's good." I remarked short of w
• • • • • • • STELLA • • • • • •"What?...How did that happen?? Was he sick?" I asked in dismay."No... He's a very strong and gallant man. Not even a heart attack can kill the n*gga..." He paused and ruffled his hair ruefully.He stood up and took a deep sigh."I'm going there right now" He said wryly and I found myself standing up from the couch."Do I need to change?" I asked and he shot me a stare."You don't have to come with me babe. The last thing I would do right now is to stress you and the baby" He retorted gently and I blushed.I know I'm persistent on going but the tone of his voice was very sweet and I couldn't stop myself from smiling."Please, babe. I want to come with you".His eyes twinkled briefly and he sighed."Alrig
