Chapter Thirty Three
ENYINNAYA
"Fuck! Last two weeks Gregory Malik wasn't my boyfriend!" She yells and I am rendered speechless for a while.
"How?" I ask.
"We only started dating again four days ago."
"Again?" I question having observed her choice of words.
"He was my ex boyfriend. We just decided to try dating once again."
"Why would you say yes to him, when you know I want a chance to be with you?"
"I can't keep him waiting. I need to go back, we can talk some other time if it's important to you."
"No. We have to talk now, tell him we have something to settle and just set another date with him please." I beg.
"And why would I do that?" She asks ready to throw her usual tantrums, but I don't have the energy to fight her.
"Please Iris. Please, you can at least do this much for me." I plead again and I guess she sees my sincerity.
"Fine. I'll go tell him that." She replies and I feel glad about it, but I refuse to trust h

IRISHe pauses, folds his hands on his chest."Miss Iris." He calls"Yes" I respond, my voice barely a whisper.He walks closer and stops again when he is about a feet from me. It's like he is telling me to leave, but I remain glued to the same spot. I don't want to leave.When he sees that I don't move, he moves closer to me, dangerously close and pins my both hands with one of his.My body wanted his, this time there was no denying it."What do you say Miss Iris?" His husky voice questions"what we have is just chemistry." I object"So?" His lips is on my nose as he asks that."I have a boyfriend." I object again.This time it's like I am trying to remind my body that it has an owner, and that owner isn't the man standing before me, but my treacherous body wouldn't listen."Break up with him.""But...." My last objection was cut short as his lips ruthlessly desc

IRISMy phone rings for the umpteenth time, yet I don't get up to pick the call as I already know who the caller is. A notification for a message comes up and I can already guess who the sender is.Gregory Malik.I take my phone from the reading table and open up the message, it reads;Hey babe, what's up?Been trying your number but you ain't picking up.Just wanted to hear your mellifluous voice before I start my day.Do give me a call when you read this dear.Confused, I just decide to ignore the message.I lazily lift myself from my queen sized bed, and throw a large tee shirt over my body that stops just midthigh giving me enough space for easy motion. I stroll idly to my dining room to make myself a cup of coffee.A knock on my sitting room door alerts my otherwise dull senses. I want to call kemi to go check out who is at the door but decide against it. I am curious as to

IRIS"I slept with him again.""Who?" Nelly asks confused."Who else? Mr Amadi off course." I reply and almost burst out laughing seeing the show of shock on her face"What? Where? How! Like when?" She blurts out and I'm forced to smile despite the guilt I'm feeling."Shouldn't you ask one question at a time madam?" I jokingly question her"Fine, let's start with this question. When did it happen?""Last night. And before you ask how, let me just let you know that it just happened.""Wait, you are saying that you slept with Mr Enyinnaya Amadi last night, right?"I nodded in affirmation."Are we still talking about the same Mr Enyinnaya Amadi, your so called enemy? The one who almost stopped you from your inheritance and had you bending to his every will, an experience I know you loath.?""Yes, that same Enyinnaya Amadi."She starts laughing so hard and uncontrollably so."Nelly!"

NELLY"What are you doing here?" I question, just as I let my door open wide, allowing him entrance into my house."I need to talk to you. Please.""What about? I thought I already made it clear that I don't want to see you nor talk to you anymore?"He nods."Yeah, I know. But I really do want to talk to you, can't you give me a chance to do that? Please Nelly."His eyes faced with desperation, sincerity, regret and some other emotions I couldn't fathom so I decide to let him in and listen to what ever it was that he wanted to tell me about.I walk myself away from the door to allow him entrance into my sitting room and he walks in."Stop acting like a stranger and just take a sit, Biko."He sits down obediently like a good child.I take a chair adjacent to the one he is sitting on, making sure to keep a reasonable distance from him, being fully aware that I could be in danger if I got too close to him.It'

IrisThree Weeks LaterThe vibration coming from my phone had me hissing at my phone for interrupting my beautiful sleep. I ignore the phone and return back to sleep, but the continuos ring doesn't give room for that."Who could be calling me this early in the morning?" I grumble, while reluctantly standing up from my bed."Ooh, Nelly!" I grumble, after Checking the caller ID and finding it to be hers. "Why is she calling me this time around eh?" I ask nobody, thus there is no response."Good morning ma." She greets."What do you want?" I don't bother to greet or try to be courteous."Wawuu! Girl what's up? Did I chase after you with a gun in your dream last night?" She's trying to play funny, but I'm not exactly in the mood for that, so I just decided l to bluff her."Abeg say what you want to say joor and say it quick ooo because I need to get back to bed.""Heeee!

Iris"Gurl, are you really pregnant?" Nelly asks me, the minute we get to my car.I laugh, but it's short."I'm not pregnant joor.""Ehen? So why did you lie to him about being pregnant and risk loosing the contract?""He was being unbearably rude. I would have struck that his big mouth with a slap, but managed to hold back because I don't want the media to have a field day off my personal life.""But you know we need that contract na, you have a goal remember?""Well, you are not wrong. We need that contract, but longtech needs this partnership more and I'm sure they will not be foolish enough to let this opportunity go.""Well, from what I saw, Mr Folarin is definitely foolish. So?""Calm down, I have a plan, even if Mr Folarin is foolish to let this go, I'm not stupid enough to just sit back and do nothing to stop him." I smile mischievously, as an idea pops up in my head.."And what is this plan? It's ob

ENYINNAYAA lot of questions run through my mind as I sit in my office, with my iPod in my ear, Omah Lay's Bad influence sounds directly into my ears, while I keep staring at the picture of the lady that is my screen saver; Iris Adelana.She is dressed in a white bum short and a bikini bra. Her long, full hair that is left unpacked forms an afro on her head, giving her diamond shaped face, a fullness. Her black skin glowed with the wetness of the beach water on her skin and, an added effect from the sun of that afternoon. Her long, legs ended in foots that were bare of any foot wear except the beach sand on which they stood. She exuded innocence, femininity and strength in one picture, she was no doubt a siren, and I am the victim; the one who she had trapped in her spell."Iris Adelana, what are you doing to me? even now." I mutter, lost in my thoughts of her. Everything with her was like an unadulterated magic, her smile was pure and even if she tried to hide
