SELINE'S FANTASY The Ambassador Question
The proposal came through Ronke, delivered in the careful, measured tone she used for things she suspected wouldn't land well. "AKZ wants to expand the campaign," she said, laptop open on the kitchen counter, Marcus hovering nearby with the particular anxious energy he'd carried more often lately. "They're impressed with the response to the shoot, and with the coverage from Seline's own interview about the lab. They'd like to bring her on as an official campaign ambassador. Paid position, not just an appearance. A real role."Seline felt something tighten in her chest immediately. "Doing what, exactly?""A few appearances alongside Sweet, some social content, maybe a short interview series about balancing career and public life," Ronke said. "It's a significant offer, financially. And reputationally, it would position you as more than just 'Sweet's girlfriend' in the public eye, someone with her own brand presence.""I already have my own thing," Seline said. "It's called my actual jo
SELINE'S FANTASY The Friend Who Stayed
It was a small thing at first, Lya declining a dinner invitation with a flimsy excuse, then another the following week, until Seline realized she couldn't actually remember the last time they'd properly sat down together, just the two of them, without cameras or crises or half of Sweet's family somewhere in the periphery.She showed up at Lya's flat unannounced on a Saturday afternoon, armed with suya from their favorite spot as a peace offering, and found her friend curled on the couch in old clothes, television playing to no one in particular."You've been avoiding me," Seline said, settling onto the couch without waiting for an invitation."I haven't been avoiding you," Lya said, not quite meeting her eyes. "I've just been busy.""Lya. It's me. Try again."Lya was quiet for a long moment, picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion before finally sighing. "Fine. Maybe a little avoiding. It's stupid, honestly. I don't even really know how to explain it without sounding petty.""T
SELINE'S FANTASY Aunty Folake's Opinion
The occasion was a christening; Sweet's cousin's newborn, hosted in the sprawling garden of an uncle's house in Lekki, the kind of extended-family gathering Sweet had apparently been dodging for years with a combination of tour schedules and vague excuses."I can't dodge this one," he told Seline the week before, with visible resignation. "My mother's already told everyone I'm bringing you. If I show up alone now, it'll look like something's wrong between us, and then I'll spend the whole party fielding worried questions instead of enjoying it.""So instead I get to field the questions.""I'll be right beside you the whole time," he promised. "Fair warning, though, my father's side of the family runs a little more traditional than my mother's. Some of them still haven't fully caught up to the idea that I'm serious about anyone at all, let alone anyone specific."The garden was beautiful, strung with white lights and pastel decorations, dozens of relatives Seline had never met circling
SELINE'S FANTASY Six Months
Sweet showed up at the lab on a Friday afternoon, badge clipped crookedly to his jacket where security had made him sign in like any other visitor, and leaned against the reception desk with the particular patience of a man willing to wait as long as necessary."You know you could have just texted," Seline said, emerging from the back with her lab coat still half-buttoned, Ifeoma watching the whole exchange from across the room with poorly disguised delight."I wanted to see your face when I told you something," he said. "Do you know what today is?"She thought for a moment, running through the calendar in her head, before it landed. "Six months.""Six months," he confirmed. "Since a tray of wine glasses shattered across my suit and completely rearranged my entire life.""I ruined your suit," she corrected, smiling despite herself. "You're the one who turned it into a debt, then a job, then this.""Best decision I ever made, ruined suit and all." He held up a small card, the corner of
SELINE'S FANTASY What the Children Carry
It was Amanda who came home crying first, schoolbag dragging behind her instead of slung properly over her shoulder, her face blotchy in a way that made Seline's mother set down her sewing the moment she walked through the gate."What happened?" Seline's mother asked, crouching to Amanda's level, wiping at her cheeks with the edge of her wrapper."They said I'm only popular because of Seline," Amanda said, voice thick with the particular misery of a ten-year-old whose world had suddenly gotten complicated in ways she didn't have language for yet. "Chiamaka said I only have friends now because everyone wants to meet Sweet. She said before, nobody wanted to sit with me at lunch, and now everybody does, and it's not because of me at all."Seline, arriving home from work not ten minutes later, found her mother and sister still on the veranda, Amanda's sniffling only just beginning to quiet."What's going on?"Her mother filled her in quickly, quietly, while Amanda pressed her face into a c
SELINE'S FANTASY Two Worlds
The trouble started small, the way most things at Lumina Diagnostics tended to a photographer camped outside the building for two mornings running, hoping to catch Seline arriving for work, until building security finally chased him off for good. It seemed harmless enough at first, a minor annoyance rather than a genuine problem, until Dr. Nwosu called Seline into her office on a Thursday afternoon, her expression carefully neutral in a way that immediately put Seline on edge."I need to talk to you about something," Dr. Nwosu said, gesturing for her to sit. "Nothing about your work itself, your work has been excellent, genuinely, better than I expected this early in the role. This is about something else.""Okay," Seline said carefully."I've had two of our funding partners reach out this week, unprompted, asking about the lab's affiliation with you specifically. One of them referenced the tabloid coverage directly — your relationship, the debt, all of it. They wanted assurance that
SELINE'S FANTASY The Call
