Chapter fourteen
Alex's face became rigid and stiff immediately and he muttered, "Mallam Tanko."
______The hostility in the atmosphere was thick, forged, and toxic that a new knife will go blunt at the attempt of slicing it. My heart heaved up as I tried not to breathe in the poisonous oxygen the air possessed.
The two men stood at a fierce and fighting stance. Their eyes communicated thousands of hostile insults, words for words while I stood there like a little kid, observing and trying to appear distinct in the midst.
"Great to see you here," mallam Tanko said and stretched his hands out for a shake.
"Same here," Alex replied with clenched teeth and shook his hand firmly that Mallam Tanko winced a little.
"I hope you are looking forward to our business meeting tomorrow, Alex?"
"Definitely." Alex cocked a brow and clutched me tighter till I could feel pains around my r

Mondays in Nigeria is one of the most hated days of the week. Most people don't even smile on Mondays knowing they have to resume another stress-filled week while struggling to beat Monday morning traffic after having a relaxed filled and cosy weekend with the family. The idea of abandoning it for work can be quite frustrating. Most kids even come up with a fake illness just to avoid school.Every other person out there is either heading to work or school but the reverse is the case here, I am here in the living room trapped with Alex who was clad in a pair of joggers."What do we do today now that the business deal is off?" I munched on my toast bread and took a sip from my hot chocolate."What do you think?" Alex walked towards the dining table to have his share of his breakfast."I don't know, you are the boss," I shrugged and stared at the crazy statics of people that have lost their lives to covid-19 in the television."And you are the assist

Yesterday's night club outing was an experience that will remain evergreen in my memory. We tasted different expensive wine and liquor. We danced to the latest hip hop music, we played truth and dare, we cruised around Abuja and finally sealed the day up with a mind-blowing sex.

But what I do know is that I enjoy it and I might have taken Harriet's advice to heart.My boyfriend didn't call me and for the first time, I felt myself feeling comfortable with it. Mom called to know how I was fairing and I gave her all the gist and only excluding the almost death scene of the plane and how I now have sex freely with my boss.

Cooking. If there is one thing Abuja should be praised for, it is the peacefulness and tranquillity

Alex's point of view (POV)__Monday morning in Lagos and I already feel like a mess. I had a petty quarrel with my folks who wouldn't stop pestering me about marriage. I'm only twenty-five years old so why should I just rush into marriage with someone when I'm not sure I have found the right person for me yet.My head banged in a slight hangover from yesterday night and I had to stop at Starbucks on my way to work. The only thing that currently excites me is coming to the office to meet my personal assistant, Tife.I know I don't do black girls with a thick body but Tife is an exception. She's got this thick banging body that drives me crazy any time I see her in fitted the gowns. She has this melanin popping skin that reminds me of cocoa butter. She has this cute face that mesmerizes me any time I stared at it. She has an exceptional beauty that I have always admired right from the very first day I saw her at the traffic.The moment she banged my c

Alex's point of view (POV)__I stood by the shore side of the beach waiting for the hint of any bronze-skinned toned person named Tife.My mind did a little flashback to what happened in the afternoon. Her entire apartment is like a museum of her alleged boyfriend or do I say, ex-boyfriend. Yeah, I think that sounds better, the idea of someone else being her boyfriend tasted like a bitter pill in my tongue.Her walls are filled with photos of the fair-skinned, leaned guy with dreadlocks. At the corner of her table, she had a golden frame of him with big candles of different colours that I'm beginning to wonder if she worshipped him. When people use coloured candles, it could also mean rituals or curses so I'm hoping it is the latter.I stole a glance at her kitchen that was adorned with long beads that served as a decorative ornament to the kitchen and believe me, she has another huge frame of him hung up on the wall. She probably stares at his picture wh

She eagerly went to the kitchen to prepare a local delicacy called amala, gbegiri, ewedu and offals. It has always been my favourite native food and Alex confirmed he likes it too but he prefers pounded yam and egusi soup.Mom didn't only sing my praises of finally getting sensible with choosing the right man, she also insulted the good-for-nothing Marcus and claimed she is happy he has gone with his bad luck.
