Bolu
Continuation of flashback.
And his response crumpled my world even more. To think I had hope he would say he didn't know if he loved me.
"I know it's because of her." I growled. "I don't even know what you see in her. I have everything she doesn't have. Urgh! I hate her so much!" I outcried. "What exactly did she do to you? What did she do for you to care for her this much? You have known me before her, I came first into your life." I choked out these words, with my hand fisted against my chest, like I was being stabbed there. It was more than a knife wound.
And Alex face palmed. " She's the one I love, Bolu. And I want to be with her. I'm so sorry. That's why I even came here to apologise to you, so you could forgive me all the pains I've cause." He implored. "I'm really sorry fucking sorry, Bolu. So sorry that I couldn't reciprocate the feelings that you have for me. That I coul
BoluFlash backI made my way into the kitchen almost nude, clad in my creamy white silk singlet, that displayed the top and sides of my busts, and panties that barely covered my bit butt.I wanted her to know that Alex and I had been having sex. To make her know she was nothing. Because I had been with Alex before she came. And yes, from the way her eyes were on me now, alot of things were going through her mind. I had everything, while she had nothing. I was thick, with the ample boobs and fat ass. While she had small boobs that were the size of tiniest grapes, and a flat stupid ass.God, I disliked her. I couldn't bring my self to accept that she was here. In Alex's house.The way her eyes did a once over at my appearance, made my lips stretch into a self satisfied smirk.
BoluI had thought my constant vomiting was because I had malaria. Little did I know it was the baby. Alex's baby."Dr Afolabi you need a lot of rest and little exercise. Try to eat right. You've practically been starving and that isn't healthy for both you and the baby. You need mostly vitamin and iron for the baby."The doctor who was an acquaintance of mine, said looking at me in a careful manner.I nodded and stood up to take my leave.I had another life growing inside of me.I wasn't alone anymore.I wondered how my parents would react when I would tell them I was pregnant. They would want to know the father of the baby, so I decided not to tell them just yet.Then I wondered how Alex would feel. I had been calling his line, but it always went on voicemail. When it would ring, he wouldn't even pick my calls.I thought about

He could forget everything, but not that day.It happened at an event he was invited to, by one of his clients call Rachel Okafor. A woman he had help her won her case.On that Saturday evening, he had seen a girl, clad in ill fitted clothings, and was being denied of making her way forth into the event hall, by an usher. Because she was dressed totally different from the way everyone was dressed.After arguing with the male usher that was standing in front of the huge doors, she began leaving, looking quite sad that he, Alex felt the sudden urge to help her.He began advancing towards her, with she not even bothering to raise her head up to see that he was approaching her.And then he held her tiny arm in his, so he could talk to her. He wasn't one to do that, though. He was one to always mind his business. So it baffled

Writer's POVContinuation of flashback"I miss you, Al." She said."I miss you more. You were on my mind each passing day. Still is."There was no response from her, but she closed her eyes shut. Then hummed a foreign sound that sent shivers down his spine.Noticing his tensed mood, she flicked her eyes opened and rewarded him with grin. Showing gim the gap in her teeth which he loved so much. Then she pulled away from him.It was odd because they were the only couple on the beach, no human figure was there. Not even Bruce and Benny, his dogs. Which became more fremd, because he loved taking his dogs with him for an evening walk at the beach. Wether with company or not. But the beach was deserted.He returned hid eyes to the woman who had captured his heart and wrapped in between her fingers. She was laughing and giggling, as the light wave at the end of the beach water, tickled her toes.
Writer's POVContinuation of flashback"Let's go to the karaoke bar." Said Mia as they made their way towards where Alex had his car parked. It was eight thirty in the evening and a lot of people were heading home."It's late, and I have books waiting for me.""And here comes the old Alex." She pouted, buckling her seat belt. Sleep was completely erased off her eyes this time. And she looked active again. "This is the last I'll ask of you tonight. Please, please, please. I want to sing.""Remind me never to go somewhere with you again, after today." Alex replied as he started the car. But he didn't mean it, he wanted to go different places with her and try new things just like the way he did today. He wanted her to take shots of me, with him unaware. He wanted to use any means he could get, just to hug her. To get close to her as possible. He wanted to eat all the rubbish with her, from vendors at the park. It was crazy, but he wanted t
AlexI couldn't believe Mia told me that Tunde Ibrahim was her problem, and it didn't matter to me anymore. She had cried after hearing everything, and saying it was her fault that Tunde Ibrahim was after my life, and my family's. And that she was going to meet him, so he could kill her, and then everything would come to an end."There's nothing you can do, Alex. So just let me go." This had been what she had told me at the hospital, with determination in her eyes.It had hurt me she had said such a thing. Despite that I was mad and everything, I would never let her die. I would still protect her because she was the second woman I had come to love after Maureen.Flashback"You're so angry for my sake." She finally said, forking her fingers through my hair.She ran her fingers through my hair for a while, letting out low sweet sighs that were melting m
MiaFlashback"I was still in my shell while living with my grandma and cousin brothers, because I was still grieving my late parents. It was hard to accept they were gone, and move on." I blew out a big puff off breath, then allowed my eyes to meet his. We maintained eye contact for a while, with my cheeks flushing. Until I looked away from him and carried on with what I was saying. "It was after the kitchen incident when I was thirteen, that I started coming out of my shell. I even became wild. Started wearing and borrowing my cousins clothes. Drink beer with them, do minor jobs just to earn cash, because we were still so poor. We the kids were struggling to make ends meet, because our grandma wasn't really fit to help us. She was quite old then.""I must say, you did enjoyed your stay with them." Alex said, staring at me in a thoughtful manner."Yeah, I did. I miss them very much."
