My ear twitched, hoping to hear what I wanted to hear. I heard him take a deep breath before he opened his mouth to speak. “I didn’t Starr, we just met again. I wasn’t lying when I said we haven’t seen in years.”

I didn’t know that I’ve been holding up my breath for the long minute until he spoke out.

“Okay.” I gave a curt response. The tension in the room suddenly felt better as it fired down.

I stood up from the bed and I walked to the window, before I heard him speak again. “How’s your health? How’re you feeling now? Better?”

“Yes. I feel better now.”

His voice smooth, and guarded. “Okay.” I heard him speaking to someone, so I just kept quiet and waited till he was done. “Are you busy?”

“Yes, please can I call you back?” He requested, and I just gave a sharp positive response and ended the call.

Days later, Friday.

As I step out of the shower and took my gaze to the wall clock, I realized that I’d spent a long time washing my hair and taking a bath. Seven called that he was

    Seemed like I spent a lot of minutes here that he had to come check on me. My hands were sweaty and my eyes were filled with tears. I staggered back as I dropped the phone back on the bed. She’s pregnant, that’s why he didn’t call. That’s why he has probably not said anything about her.He was looking for the perfect time to tell me. I palmed my face as I let the tears fall. I tried to take a deep breath, but it just seemed like it was difficult.The door was pushed opened as he stepped in, and I spin my back on him, trying to wipe the tears away. It was difficult, so I bit my lips multiple times trying to force it back in.“Baby?” He called out, but I just stood there, bent with my hands relaxing on his desks.He got close as he tried placing his hands on me. I turned and stopped him with my hands.“Don’t.”His eyes flickered as he raised an eyebrow trying to figure it out. “What’s wrong?”“Why don’t you tell me?” I threw back at him that instant.He seemed confused as he shrugged hi

    Sharply, I swiped it off before moving my eyes down to check out the stain on my hand. It was really blood. I was bleeding from my nose.Minutes later, we arrived at my gate and I pulled out the cash in my purse in placed it on his outstretched palm before walking inside.Slowly tapping my feet on the floor, to not wake anyone up, I finally arrived at my room door and pulled it open.Swiftly, I entered and dumped my slippers on the floor in a thud and walked straight to my wide mirror to check out my face.Fleetly, I pulled out a tissue and began wiped it thoroughly, then I heard a knock on my door and I quickly hid it behind my back and twisted to look at the person.It was Tania.She looked at me as she arched her eyes and pulled away her hair that was blocking her eyes. “Are you okay?”Was my fear evident? Were my hands shaking? Did she see me with my half bleeding nose?My voice cracked. “Yeah, I’m good.”She nodded. “We’ve been waiting for you. When I heard the front door, I thou

    When he took his eyes away from the sheet and looked at me, I hastily heaved out my sigh and focused at him.“Starr, you’re stressing yourself out.” He began, “it’s a lot of stress. Your hormones shows that you’re gagged with stress.”I impatiently waited for him to continue. “They put you on monthly pills to manage your illness and you, so that you can have space to live freely like a young woman without constantly looking over your shoulders and considering your genetic predisposition it’s bad. But you’re not helping. I sighed out as he rubbed his chin and continued.“I had always emphasized that adequate rest is compulsory. Not for you to debate but to be seen as an order cause you sure have a hormonal imbalance in case you’ve forgotten.” He stopped briefly and continued.“But you don’t take breaks and it isn’t good for you right now.” I swallowed the lump that I’d formed immediately.“Hence, the nose bleeding.” He leaned back and clasp his hands together, “I last told you that you

    Immediately the door shut, Lizzy spoke up.“Where have you been since morning? We’ve been calling you.”I stared at her briefly before speaking, swaying the topic off and introducing another. “Why aren’t you at work? You’re supposed to be out.”She rolled her eyes and slumped on the couch with her legs crossed. “Well, I called in sick.”My mouth hung open as I nodded my head and took a step forward to approach the stairs. “Starr, I asked you, where did you go?”Halting on my steps, I turned back to look at her before responding. “I went to the hospital.” And resumed my steps.She bulged out her eyes and she shoot up, moving to the stairs to reach me. “Are you okay? It’s not yet your time for your checkup, so why did you go to the hospital?”We had already gotten to my room, and I was pulling up my top to take it out.Still silent, I didn’t know how to put it, but as I opened my mouth to speak, tears spilled from my eyes and I swiped it out immediately.She saw how it was playing out,

    Yesterday went quickly as I was all up doing nothing but thinking. I didn’t bother to call Seven cause we were going to see today. Tania’s birthday party is today.Since I’d already promised Chris, I assisted him in decorating his house cause he said he wanted to throw her a surprise there, and the after party would commence afterwards.When I left his place after the arrangement, I went straight to Kay’s house. But he wasn’t around, so he asked me to go in and wait for him.But I didn’t go upstairs, I just laid on the widest couch and slept off after making sure that I’d put my phone on silent.I hadn’t realized how long I slept till I felt a touch on my cheek, and I jolted out of my sleep.Rushing to the other side of the couch and almost falling to the ground, I looked up and saw Kay with a huge smile on his face as he bursted out laughing.“You almost fell. I thought you were very brave. Were you that scared?” He questioned with a huge grin on his face and bursted out laughing.Hu

    My mouth hung open in shock as I stared at both of them. She pulled back from the hug and whispered something into his ears with a huge smile on her face.He smiled briefly too, as she moved to Chris again and shook his hands. I guess they were talking about Tania cause he pointed towards the shelf where she stood talking to someone else. They all laughed at what she said but I didn’t take my eyes off cause as I kept on gawking at her. Lizzy noticed caused she instantly placed her hands on mine but I still didn’t stop so she stood up stylishly and came to stand in front of me.I snapped out of my stares as my view was blocked so I took it to Lizzy’s face and whispered at her.“What’s it? Why did you stand here?” She chuckled and responded through gritted teeth, “Well, I wouldn’t have to if you weren’t gawking.” I arched my brows at her and she responded, “It was obvious and intense.”I swallowed the spit that had already formed and gently moved my fingers to shift the hair that was

    Her smile was bright and contagious, revealing her full set of white teeth. Seeing her up close like this, I noticed her skin was very radiant and shiny.Her lips were curved as V at the upper part, making it look outstanding. “Hey.” She waved her hands at me, and I instantly feigned a smile.“Hi.” I responded and collided my hands with her outstretched hands. Before we pulled apart and she took her eyes to Seven.She placed her hands on his arms and whispered something in his ear. Making me gulp down the spit that formed at the depth of my throat.My stomach churned in annoyance, but I rubbed my hands together to ease myself from smacking the hell out of her face.Hell yeah, I was jealous.After she was done whispering, Seven spoke up as he placed his hands on mine. Caressed it a little, and spoke. “I’ll be back, okay?”I opened my mouth to speak but stopped abruptly because she’d had already fixed her arms in his and walked away. Was this the human that Lizzy said she would have mov

    My eyes were fixed at her before I took it to Seven as I anticipated his response. My heart began to race because I was scared he was going to deny me. It’d all come crashing down if his response is negative. His lips parted to speak as everywhere was ultimately silence, that even if a pin was dropped it would be heard.“Yes, she’s my girlfriend.” She replied with a smile on his face.Camille’s face went into a surprise one as she smiled very shortly and clamped her mouth with her hands momentarily.“I didn’t know that.” I cleared my throat before speaking up.“Seven can I talk to you for moment?” I requested and she chipped in sharply.“I’m sorry, we’re having an important discussion, so please just give us a moment?” My eyes snapped at her when she spat that out and I began to wonder if she was alright.That instant, I expected Seven to disapprove what she said, but instead he did the opposite, he supported her.Surprisingly, He made me feel inferior. He made me feel worthless. C

    Two weeks have passed. Seven and I were supposed to go on our date last week Saturday but work had it moved so we were both currently preparing to go today.Seven had to travel back to New York for a meeting and I had to understand as the understanding girlfriend I pledged to be.But now right, I’m glad that we were finally able to do this.My ringing phone jolted me out of my reverie. It was on top of the cabinet where my makeup was. So steadying my full hands, I picked.That familiar deep, masculine voice sent a shrill of excitement through me. I haven’t heard from him for a long time now and trust me that’s not how best friends behave.But it wasn’t entirely my fault. Kelvin was now a busy person. One that travels from country to country in one week. So he was damn busy.“Hey, hello?” I responded with my lips pouted to the mirror still applying my red seductive lip stick to it, just like the way Seven likes it.“Starr? What sup? How’re you?” He asked all at once and I was wondering

    The kitchen was eerily silent, with just burning gazes. I knew I had to say something to make him believe me and not be suspicious of anything.So I cleared my throat and responded. “Uh…. Yeah, babe.” I took a pause while his eyebrows etched, waiting to hear my reason.I forced a laugh, trying to ease the tension, but he was serious. He kept a straight face. “The drugs…Uh.. they’re also skin supplements.”I stated as I chuckled again, trying to ease myself and hope that he buys it. “Skin supplements?” He asked, as his forehead wrinkled in confusion.“Yeah. I take them pretty often.”My eyes widened, so I leaned back, surprised, while I tapped on the side of my thighs as I waited for his next words. “Hmm… I never knew you take supplements for your skin.”When that came out of his mouth, I knew he bought it already, so I tried to be calm as I spoke. “Yeah, I do.”“Okay.” He gave a curt response and turned around for a moment and turned back to face me immediately, like he remembered som

    Last night was amazing. It was a hot one I’ve had in years.I guess with Seven, everything is bound to be good and sweet.My mind whirled off to every single detail from last night. From making out from the table. Yes, my man made me squirt on that table. Giving me a blissful orgasm with just his mouth to my tit and his fingers doing wonders in my private region.After he made sure to mark his table, he carried me to the bed and did the actual work.My cheeks slipped off into a wide smile as I kept on staring at his beautiful face. He was asleep, and I woke up about an hour ago, gazing back at the wonderful sex we had last night.It was bare. No barrier between us. Just sweet and connecting.I disagreed last night when he wanted to use a condom and, considering how much he wanted me, it wasn’t really up for a debate.He just dropped the topic and moved into me slowly, making me lose my breath because of the amount of sweetness I felt.It was overwhelming. For the first time in my life

    A shiver ran down my spine when I stared at it with amusement evident in my face.Woah! “Baby.” I exclaimed.He came closer with that naughty smirk on his face. “You literally bought a pant. A G-string.”I exclaimed as I held it up to his face, checking it out.He chuckled, slipped it off my hands into his, and smiled widely. “I can’t wait for you to put it on, on our date this weekend.”My heart swelled with joy, and my eyes shone. “A date?”He let his hands slip into my waist, holding it perfectly. “Yes.”Instantly, my hands flew over his neck, hugging him tight. “I’m so happy, Seven. Finally.” I commented, and his cheek curved into another charming smile.For the next few seconds, we kept on staring deep into each other’s eyes. Before his eyes flickered to my lips, then back at my eyes.Slowly, his hands rested on my hips, then slid lower. He lowered his face and captured my lips.At first, it was slow. He kept on moving his lips on my lower while his hands danced around my butt, g

    Starr’s POVMy face brightened up into a charming smile and I slapped his chest jokingly and chuckled while speaking. “Why would you throw such words away?” He feigned ignorance immediately. “What words.” Jokingly I hit him again, “Stop Seven, I’m serious.” And he laughed hard.He shrugged his shoulders. “But I am too,” he responded, and I feigned anger quickly and folded my arms.His lips curved into another smile, and he raised his hands in defeat. “Okay. okay. What part should I not throw away? The part where I said I’m jealous or the part where I referred to you as Mrs seven?” He arched his brows with a teasing smirk on his face. “Ugh…” I groaned loudly before settling my eyes back at him and leaned very closer.I stretched my hands to his beards as I stared deeply into his eyes. “Why would you throw something like that away knowing it was just a joke.?” I whispered.Seriousness spread over his face quickly. “And what if I say I meant it, and…..” he took a pause, cleared his th

    Her face dropped dead immediately. Shock was written all over it. She was scared, but quickly milked it up with a small smile.She cleared her throat before responding. “Uhhh… they’re nothing, it’s just you know... menstrual supplements.” She struggled with her words as she stuttered.“Okay.” I gave a curt reply.She took her eyes momentarily to the closet and then back at me, before taking the picked clothes in her hands and moved to the bedroom.I just strolled behind her. She took off the towel while I just leaned my body on her cabinet whilst staring at her, wear her bra to her heels.She didn’t even bother to put on makeup. She just brushed her hair and applied some nude lipstick.Instantly, I stood up and approached her by the dressing table. I took a wipe and wiped the lipstick off, then picked a red one, placing it on her palm.She chuckled and slapped my chest softly. “You love red lipstick, huh?”I furrowed my eyebrows and smiled. “You’ve no idea how much it looks good on yo

    My hands grasped the doorknob, and I pushed it open. The room was empty. For a moment I panicked. My heart raced, but the instant I heard the water running and then it stopped, I knew she was in.She was taking her bath. So I moved my legs to the window, knowing that she’d be out any moment from now.I stretched out my fingers, who has turned white from my nervous knuckles. Swiftly, I wiped my hands on my Jean to clean out the sweat that formed.Still waiting, I moved my legs to her desks where her laptop was, opened. A warmth spread through my chest as I gazed at her laptop, admiring her dedication.My eyes scanned the whole table, and it finally landed on a white thick nylon that had some pack of drugs.Is she not feeling too well? Why is she on drugs?One of it was already at the tip of the nylon, wanting to spill out. So I picked it up to read the content.But the bathroom door swung open. She stepped out and instantly she stood frozen immediately she set her eyes on me. With her

    Sighing, I bursted out into laughter. This epistle is so funny. I knew she was hurt, and that, given my weeks of silence, she probably assumed I was tired of her and wanted to break up.I narrowed my eyes back to my parents and siblings.⏰⏰⏰TWO WEEKS LATERSquinted my eyes before heaving out the deep breath that I’ve kept in for so long.“What is your woman saying, man?” I inquired, narrowing my eyes in slight anger.Groaning, I responded immediately. “I thought you told me that she said Starr would be home today. What changed?” I took another deep breath as I tried to understand what he was spurting from the other end.“So for two weeks, she has been avoiding you? Is that it?” I asked him with my jaw clenching with anger.My eyes moved around trying to read what’s going on even from the other side of the phone.“Man, I think she’s lying or stalling. Maybe Starr is upstairs. Check it out for me. Go to her room and knock. She’s supposed to be back from work.”Tugging the root of my ha

    Washington, Seattle⏰Momentarily, I turned my back to my father, before tugging the root of my hair then faced him again. “No, I’m not going to reconsider anything that man uttered. All of that he said, it’s just based on his daughter’s feelings and not for the company’s alignment.”Narrowing my eyes, I spoke again. “And moreover I told you and mom that I found someone that I love already so I meant it when I clearly stated last year, that the betrothal engagement is cut of.”“I only honored this invitation because of the respect I have for him, but since he wouldn’t get it through his head via email, that is the reason I came. To let it out myself so he and his family can leave us alone dad.”Still panting, I let it all out while my father just stood staring at me till I explained everything. “Okay, son. I understand.”Finally, I was glad when that came out of his mouth. He held me by my arms and motioned that we go back inside.“Thank you Terrence for having my son and I.” Trisha’s
