Wounds heal. The vegetables were sandy,Lillian wondered where the market women bought their vegetables from, it's always very difficult to clean them and it required a lot of water while rinsing it. The Scotch bonnet had a strong aroma and it made Lillian's nostrils hot, her fingers would be hotter later. Lillian chopped many pepper, she likes her fried vegetables spicy. She checked the boiling yam on the cooker. She had peeled half of a large yam by mistake. When she was done with the cooking, she called Mark and asked him if he was close to the house. He asked her to prepare the dining for three. She wondered who Mark was coming home with. While arranging the table,the door opened and mark walked in with Jay behind him. " sweets,welcome...Jay? Jay is our visitor " she laughed and the guys laughed too
MIXED FEELINGS Lillian was preparing everything she needed for her class trip. She wants to have fun with her students and make them see how intriguing Literature is. That morning before going to class,someone she wasn't expecting or expecting the least to visit her came, "Emmanuel" " Good morning ma" she stared at him in awe,he was being polite too,on other days,he would say the good morning without a "ma". " Good morning " she replied " You are here for counseling right? Lillian asked " Not really,I'd like for us to discuss" That was it,his boldness was back,though a little. " That day you told us about being unable to have a child, I thought it was pitiful of you, seeking attention and pity from us..but now,I really
PRISONERS OF OURSELVES Something about Fridays make it so busy. Lancelot and Leonard waited on their beds,preparing for school,as usual the room was quite, the only sound one could hear was the gentle sound that Leo's brush made as it passed through his short hair, almost touching his scalp. Lance broke the silence. "Why haven't you submit the written composition? Leo moved to the big mirror hanging on the Wall and arranged his buttons carefully. " I know you haven't submitted yours too" He turns to face Lance "Why are you asking when you don't even care?" " I'm only asking because I know you've written it,just submit it to the Teacher. " Lance gets up and leaves the room,before leaving he says, "I know you've written
HEAD RESTING ON THE DOOR JULIET IVIE I got tired of it,I get tired of it everyday. It felt suffocating, knowing all of this and not being able to share it with someone. I always looked at the mirror and I really see the resemblance, maybe it's because of what I see and hear,maybe a little part of me wanted the cool headed cook to be my dad. Maybe I hated my dad that I didn't even want him as my dad. The first day it happened, the first time I knew,I found too many secrets in a day. My dad forgot his phone in his room,he asked me to get it from his room,I would never check my dad's phone,no I can't,it will be like a death wish but he told me he was still with my Mom for me,for me that he doesn't have any feelings for. I was walking to give my dad his phone when it received a message from Anita cutie,I thought he cheated on my mom but it was more than that,ha
WE ARE NOT ALL PERFECT Tamara and Ada walks home together,they have been friends since basic two,Ada knows almost everything about Tamara. She knows that her friend likes Emmanuel, he knows too but he doesn't have such feelings for her. The two girls were alone in the class,Tamara broke the silence between them and started a chat. " Why didn't you write a poem" " Because I didn't felt like,why did you? I thought both of us didn't like her,why did you write? She raised her brows and bite her lips but her round eyeball were daring. Tamara always followed Ada's advice, not because they were always right but because sometimes Ada can be frightening. "Because I felt like,I felt something in my heart that I needed to pen down,didn't you feel anything? Tamara pushed her weaved hair that fell on her face from covering her eyes. &nbs
A GOOD DREAM Ada knocks on the door,she entered after hearing a "come in" from inside the office. She walks straight to Lillian and hands her an envelope. Lillian stared at the envelope surprisingly. After giving her the envelope, Ada greeted Lillian. "Good morning ma". " Good morning,how was your night?" Ada ignored the question and Lillian asked again,Ada replied with a "it was fine" before she told Lillian what was inside the envelope. "That is my poem,it is very short but it links to something, some weird feelings I get. I AM sorry for yesterday." She stressed the am and said the apology as if someone had threatened to kill her if she didn't. Her mock politeness was very obvious. "I have submitted my poem,that means I can go for the trip Right" Lillian told her she could leave the office without answering her q
JOURNEY TO ARTJULIET IVIE Finally, a day that I'll finally get to leave my house. I told my dad and he gave me the go ahead,he didn't ask where to,he just gave me his permission. I wonder if he would allow his other daughter leave his house just like that without asking where her trip was and what it was all about. My Mom listened to music in the morning, early in the morning she woke up and played music. To me she was celebrating my departure, I wanted to tell her that it was just a two days trip. Can they at least pretend to care like the cook. "Good morning Julie""Good morning, I have told you that my name is Juliet,stop calling me Julie" the cook smiled before replying her. " I prepared fried egg and toast,just how you like them" he was right,I liked my toast crunchier and eggs spicy but I didn't say thank
FULL HOUSE Mr Kayode was outside, he sat on a chair,a supposed rocking chair but it stopped rocking a long time ago. "Good evening sir" Lillian greeted him with her knees bended almost touching the ground "Ah,young madam" That never gets old,right from the first day he saw her,the day that Mark humbly introduced her as his girlfriend to him,he insisted on calling her "young madam even though she asked him to call her by her name. " where are your students? " He asked holding onto his old cap,an old fashioned face cap. Since Lillian knew Mr kayode,whenever he was alone,he always held his cap close to himself. His hands were old and he could barely see without his eye glasses. He took a close look at her face trying to see her clearly. Lillian wondered why he still works when it's due time for him to rest. Well,silly,that
