"Good day sir" Grey greeted dad, prostrating. There was a plastered smile on his face, I could tell it was because of the lady by his side. He isn't exactly cold as Travis but he's not very jovial, in fact, none of us were jovial when it came to Dad.
Sad... Isn't it?
"My son, how are you?"
Seriously though, he had to call him 'my son' ?
Does he have to do everything to spite Travis?
God epp us o...
"I'm fine Dad"
Mum came in just before Dad could say anything else, with a small smile playing on her lips.
"Mummy good afternoon" Grey said still with that plastered smile.
What's doing this one? all because of woman? mtcheww
"Femi..."

Chapter Twelve******The house was bustling with activity that Thursday morning, I was trying to not be languid in any activity I engaged myself as I hardly had any sleep the previous night."Aunty Lola, grandma said you should come and keep some fried meat for grandpa" Tobi said to me eagerly, he was obviously excited about the errand as he would have a taste of the delicacy."Oh" I groaned inwardly.Where do they want me to put it now?It was like my nephew had read my thoughts."She said you should put it inside this cooler" Ayo jumped out of nowhere startling me."And put it in their bedroom" Arinola completed.It's like you people practiced this thing.I frowned at the thought of climbing the stairs over and over again. I was exasperated

Chapter Thirteen****Ever sat down wondering what your "big day"would be like?That's what I was almost doing when my name boomed from across the room that Saturday morning. Of course, it was my sister's wedding day. She was so tensed up that I felt the same way for her. If there's such a thing as one being worried on another's behalf then I was in that position. It was 9am and we were supposed to be at the church by 10am for the service but someone spent her morning getting all emotional, cuddling with mum who was comforting her. I had never seen her that way before.Wedding jitters are sure scary.Dad came in as mom beckoned him to, while she was snuggled up against my sister."Having second thoughts?" He asked with an arched eyebrow in a cold tone that sent shivers down my spine, I'm sure the same happened to Laila as she sat up imm

Chapter Fourteen*****It was dark already and the ride home was silent. I was too nervous to go in my parents vehicle so I rode with Grey and Igho. Tana had gone with her parents, they didn't want her in the middle of any family drama. They apparently understood my family issues. She left with them after speaking to me with soothing words."Las las we go dey alright" She said reassuring me, I almost chuckled at the thought but I was too tired to do that. The ride home was filled with uncomfortable silence, it sent cold chills down my spine.We arrived sooner than I had expected, and I gulped as I stepped out of the vehicle. I had removed my shoes earlier and put on a pair of fancy slippers that were more comfortable.My parents had arrived much earlier than we had and I walked into the living room after Grey and Igho. My father was speaking to someo

Chapter Fifteen ****** I heard the cars drive in while I was sprawled on my bed, lost in thoughts as usual.The benign breeze brushed past my face, I tucked my hair behind my ears as I sat up on my bed, debating within myself whether or not I should step out of the room to meet with my menacing parents or wait for them to come to me. I didn't have to ponder on that for much longer as I soon heard a tap on the door. "Come in" I said, quickly adjusting things that were in place already, out of habit. The door opened to reveal my mum. "Good evening mummy" I greeted. "Evening Lola, your dad is calling for you" I nodded quickly. She could have just sent Martha to call me, why did she have to come herself?Those were my thoughts before my mum interjected. "Now Lola" She reminded and I responded by getting up abruptly. I follo

Chapter Sixteen*****I woke up feeling refreshed by the next day. Being open minded and positive about how my day was going to be, I stepped into the shower, humming to different tunes as the water pelted my skin. The refreshing feeling made me not want to step out of there.Kukuma sleep there ode...A laugh eluded my lips as the thought slipped out of my subconscious self.I picked out a pink chiffon top with a pair of blue jeans and put them on shortly afterwards. I had barely touched my phone, so I swiftly ransacked my bag surreptitiously hoping that my dad had called or texted, begging me to come home but I knew better than to expect that. He was a hard hearted man after all. No calls from mum or any of my siblings. Thinking of siblings, I hadn't heard from my newly married sister, she was probably too occupied in her honeymoon to give me a call and I didn't want to bothe

Chapter Seventeen****"So you're saying your father threw you out of his house, just like that?" Uncle Dayo, Tana's father asked rhetorically.We were all seated in the living room of their six bedroom duplex. Tana sat right next to me, while her mother, Aunt Aisha, was seated opposite us. Her father paced to and fro, a habit he had formed, whenever he was deep in thought.I nodded, fully aware of the fact that there wasn't any need to."I think Benson needs someone to talk to him..." He started."But..." He continued,reluctantly."He is hot headed, stubborn too" He stated finally.My thoughts exactly..."We'll figure something out, but I don't want you being idle dear" Tana's mum interjected."Me neither aunty, I'll have someth

Chapter Eighteen****** Same place, different time...I checked the time and it was about 7:45am.Not bad.Tana had dropped me off at the T- junction leading to the place, and I walked the short distance down to the shop. Striding into the dimly lit place, I could barely make out the figures in the room. I'd obviously came in after someone, probably the CEO. Suddenly the lights came on, and I saw the last person I had hoped to see, the rude lady from the previous day. Ugh.What a way to start my day. She turned to me with a scowl, I was beginning to wonder if her face was actually like that. "Good morning" I mumbled trying to force a smile whilst staring at her. She simply glared daggers at me and turned back to whatever she was doing with a hiss. I shrugged off her nastiness and w

Chapter Nineteen******"Here we are..." He whispered,patting my head softly. I found that amusing and I was affirmative of the fact that my face portrayed it, as Tunji just sat there mirroring my expression for what felt like hours."Why are you whispering?" I asked trying to hold back the laughter bubbling in my throat. His face looked so cute, it reminded me of Ayo, my very adorable nephew."I thought you were asleep" He said in mock surprise."I was just... Meditating" I said shutting one eye, curling my fingers and almost trying a lotus position even with my seat belt on.Silly me...Truth be told, I had slept for the better part of the ride, and had only woken up a few minutes earlier.I do not mess with my beauty sleep, alright..."Meditating indeed, come on we're here" He announced.
