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.

"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.

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.

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
Dealing With Love... Old Wounds
"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.

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

I placed my hands on him to try and calm him down before I continued.“Funke yelled at him, and hit him with a plastic pipe beside his bed but he just laughed at us, and then went on to tell me, that it had all been a plan. He only wanted to get into my pants, and that he never loved me. I was broken, Ethan. Funke helped me get out of there, and that's when I cried. I couldn't think, I couldn't function. What would he have done if Funke didn't get there? I knew then that God was amazing, or else I would have been shattered" I was full-on crying by the time I ended my rant.Why did he do such a thing?
