I changed the subject and teased her."Why didn't you tell me, he was here?" she pouted, and I chuckled."He begged me to come to see you." She smiled and I took it as it was good."I forgave him but told him sorry is not enough for what he did and then he kissed me, but I slapped him and told him not to play with my feelings" I laughed. It sure sounded like what she'd do.I stood up and was about to head to my room."If you'll excuse me, I have a date to prepare for" she rolled her eyes and followed me into the room.I took another shower while Funke brought out my dress. I decided to go cultural, picking out a knee-length, flower-patterned Ankara gown, that was tight from my chest to my waist and then flared.

Doing things together increases bonding,Making decisions together improves understanding. Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I stirred awake to the sound of my blaring alarm. With a groan, I ran my hand on my bedside table till my hands felt the instrument of my discomfort, and then, I slammed the alarm clock on the wall. Unfortunately, I couldn't fall back asleep. Standing up, I said my morning prayers and checked the time, it was past 7 am. A smile immediately lit my face as I remembered that, Ethan was going to take me to church, after our conversation last night. Flashback "So, what are you going to be doing tomorrow?" Ethan asked me softly with a smile on his face. "I'm going to church from 9 am till 11 am, then I clean, cook, eat and most of all study, then in the evening I read and write" I looked him in the eye and smiled. It was always a usual thing for me to go to church, I was a believer and I knew if I couldn't trust God in little things like my health, then I wouldn't be able

"I've been watching you for the past 10 minutes and you didn't even notice me? What are you cooking?" he asked in an amused tone. "Well, I already told you, I'm cooking Eba and Ogbono soup" he smiled as I put the kettle of water on another stove. Just as I was about to go back to stirring the soup, Funke entered the house, with a look of exhaustion and greeted Ethan. "Ife, are you cooking Ogbono?" she asked as her face suddenly lit up with joy. I knew that she had been wanting to eat homemade soup. So, I smiled at her and nodded, making her bounce towards me and engulfed me in a tight hug. She then left the kitchen to her room. I removed the soup from the fire, just as my phone started ringing. I checked the caller ID and my face lit up immediately. I wiped my hands and picked up the video call. "Daddy, how are you?" my words were thick with emotion. I heard someone cough and my gaze found Ethan to see his eyes widen as he stared at me with realization and a bit of fear. 'Your

They say time heals woundsThey say we learn from wounds,But then, old wounds can reopenAnd if not strong, could shatter everything...OluwatoyosiPrecious POVThe sound of my alarm buzzed me awake, making me groan as I stood up to do my morning prayer before going into the bathroom to get a hot shower, as it has been cold these past weeks.It's been two weeks since Ethan spoke to my parents and to say we have both been busy was an understatement. I was thrown into projects while Ethan had business deals every now and then but we still managed to find ways to be together like weekends where we are either in my home or going out.I needed a break, I was really tired, but thank God it was Friday.Coming out of the shower, I took my clothes, which consisted of simple jeans with plain white tees. I slipped on my white converse and packed my braids into a ponytail, that's right I had to make my hair, or else it would have started cutting.Taking my backpack, I left my room to see Funke t
Dealing With Love... The Gala and Love
Stepping into the apartment, I dropped my bag on the couch and made Funke follow me to the kitchen. I was hungry for homemade fried rice and chicken.It took us an hour to get the food done, then we ate and drank a bottle of non-alcoholic blue wine as a form of our mini celebration while dancing like crazy people in the kitchen. Finally, when we were exhausted, I checked the time to see that it was still 2:55 pm, and we decided to sleep it off. Setting our alarm for 4:30 pm we slept off, not on the bed but the couch in the parlor.The alarm clock jolted us up as we hated the song. Quickly dismissing the alarm, it took us 10minute to stand up."Ife, let's go and shower, I smell like the chicken sauce" I laughed but stood up nonetheless.Entering our rooms, I head to the shower and took a nice long bath, washing, and shaving. After a good scrubbing, I turned off the shower and stepped out wrapping my towel around my body.Checking my wardrobe, I decided to wear my long red Ankara, with

"You do?" he asked incredulously and I nodded and before I knew what was happening, he was carrying me by the waist and twirling me. "I love you so freaking much, my love and I will always do" I put my head on his chest, his heartbeat my music as we swayed to the ending of the song. Ethan pulled me for a long soft kiss and then I heard claps around. We walked back to our seats. Not long after, Ethan and Joel excused themselves to meet an investor. Funke and I decided not to go as our legs were killing us. So, while we waited, we ate to our satisfaction and then some. The food was amazing. I finished stuffing my face with food and drank the juice I ordered since I didn't want to get drunk.Funke and I were appreciating some women who came to comment on our gowns. I was smiling and telling them that we were from Nigeria until I noticed Funke tensed up. "Funke, what's wrong?" I asked her. She looked angry but concerned that's when I heard that voice, his voice. "Ifeoluwa" I tensed n

The beauty of the heartIs the ability to accept,The beauty of the homeIs the ability to accept the heart... Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I woke up to the rays of the sun in my eyes only to find an arm holding me down. Panicked, this isn't my room, this isn't my bed. Then I remember; I remember the party, David, and when Ethan brought me to his home. I relaxed as I see Ethan sitting on a chair right beside the bed, with his head on the mattress as he held onto my hand. Why was he here? Didn’t he go to the other room last night? I was sure he did. I stared at him and frowned at his position. He could get a neck cramp. Checking the time on my phone, it was 8:35 am. I closed my eyes and do my morning prayer, and once I was done, my head started buzzing with questions. David! The man that broke me. Why would he say he still loved me? Hadn't he done enough? I loved him and he threw all that away with just a single act. I couldn’t even begin to imagine what would have happened to me if
