LOYAL

CHRISTIANA'POV.1 YEAR LATER."Let's turn up tonight." Chidera shouted as we took shots.We were getting ready for graduation in two days, so Chidera invited Aishat, Temi and me to go to a club tonight. Since we were all free, we decided to have a fun night out."I swear she's going to get wasted." Temi giggled while Chidera took her fourth shot in a row. Aishat was the one who wasn't drinking and in charge of making sure we were all ok and arrived home safely.I hummed agreeing with her getting comfortable on the stool "Your dress is pretty." Temi complimented with a small smile."Thank you, your dress is pretty as well."Temi and Aishat had been roommates in their first year, so they had developed a close friendship. As a result, when Aishat became friends with me and Chidera, Temi naturally became a part of our group as well. While Chidera and Temi got along well, I never really connected with Temi; something about her just gave me a strange vibe."Let's dance." Chidera pulled Tem

GRADUATION DAY"Christiana Peterson" I heard my name announced and, as I walked up to the stage, the crowd erupted in applause. I received my diploma, then paused to smile and wave at Aishat, my other friends, my dad, my aunts, and my cousins. They were beaming with pride, recording and cheering me on.Under the graduation gown, I wore a nude gown and heels. I accessoried with my new Tennis Necklace and a dangling silver earrings to match. I laid my baby hair and Aishat helped me with my make up. Aishat woke us up after we partied last night, she did all three of us make up being that she was a make up artist. "Congratulations my love." Aishat pulled me for a hug."Let me go and look for Chidera." She didn't wait for me to respond before she scurried away."Congratulations big head." I looked up seeing Johnathan.Johnathan and I were course mates, so we were very close from day one in the university. I can say he is one of the best people I met throughout my four years.

OMNISCIENT POV.Tiana arrived back in her two bed room apartment tired. After interviewing him, she went back to the office to finish editing the interview she had with an actress and another business man. She dropped her bag on the couch then stripped out of her clothes. She went for a cold shower which helped her relax. She was so ready to sleep but she was famished.She wore a big blue shirt she stole from Deji. She went to her fridge looking for what to eat. She didn't have energy to cook anything so just took out a box of cornflakes and poured it into a bowl adding milk,sugar and a glass of water. She ate slowly thinking about her encounter with James earlier.The sound of her phone ringing interrupted her thoughts. She checked the caller ID seeing it was Dera❤️✨ .She smiled answering,Dera-Hey boooo.Her-Business woman, how far?Dera- I'm chilling how are you?Her-Tired and stressed.

I will call you when I arrive.Christiana - Okay, talk to you later.They exchanged 'goodbyes' and 'I love you's before hanging up. Tamara wasn't coming back until Monday, so Christiana decided to cook something.She settled on making White Rice with Fish Stew and Plantain since it was looking like it was about to spoil. She measured the cups, washed the rice, and placed it on the gas stove.As she started cutting the plantain, the electricity supply was cut off, and she realized she had forgotten to buy fuel for her generator. She hissed, going to find their white and orange round bright rechargeable lamp. She placed it on the kitchen counter, continuing what she was doing.Her phone started to ring; she put the plantain in the hot oil and went to the living room to answer her phone. She saw it

THAT NIGHT."Like I didn't even know he was going to propose," Tamara told Deji and Tiana, grinning, showing off her diamond ring. Matthew definitely spent a lot on the ring."I am so happy for you," Christiana told her. Deji was also really happy for his younger sister."Mad, so my younger sister is going to get married before I even find a girlfriend," Deji said, shaking his head, making them both laugh.He wasn't seeing anyone now, just talking to different girls.

Introduction to Traditional to the white wedding," she said, stressing a little."You will be fine; I will be here assisting you," Christiana assured her."Oh, we are going to see mummy this weekend, are you coming?" Tamara asked Christiana as their mom didn't live far."Yeah, sure." She told them yawning.What she didn't know was that after she left the hotel with Chidera earlier, Daniel and James came to the hotel hoping to see them both. Chide
