"Common sense can dictate a perfectly reasonable response to a situation while the love and passion duo will more often than not out muscle the most macho of men. Love and passion can destabilize an entire economy lest we forget the lesson learned from Helen of Troy."A.I.M. LawalVincent picks his napkin and wipes his mouth, before speaking. "The business report puts us on the country's top five earning companies as of last month only following Dangote and The PIW. We have always ranked around 10th to 5th place since I was the companies CEO, and I never thought I'd say this, but I am proud of you and the effort you've put in place. I know it might mean much less to you coming from me.""You're damn right," Rogue mutters, loud enough for everyone in the table to hear.I rest my hand on his lap under the table, trying

 "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."~Lao TzuAnd just because I was trying to avoid Rogue, today before it was close to dawn, I showered and got dressed for work and here I am."I know, I didn't want to be there when you woke, bad things that feel good always happen."I can hear him chuckling at what I said, "So you're running away from me?""Yes, I am," I answer without a feeling of shame whatsoever. I am scared he is changing me and in a few weeks, Lucas last will in testament will be read and missing work as well as arriving late for meetings wouldn't give me such a good image especially if the company and a few others become mine."Jeez, I didn't know I was such a bad influence." He mumbles out.My nose twitches a little at his word, "You're a

"I am an artist, my hair is rarely tamed & sometimes I sleep till noon, My house is messy and I speak to the moon. I care less about the materials that I share with my world and more about the passion inside myself. I'm an artist, what more can you expect? I am full of soul, love and all the rest."Nikki RoweZander picks a can of coke from the fridge and tosses it to me on the before returning to the yam he's currently boiling on the gas. For dinner today we are having boiled yam with tomato and egg sauce. One of the few things I love about Fridays. "I haven't seen your crazy boyfriend in a few days, did you two break up or something, cause if you did I should have heard the news on TV already."It's been a week since Rogue left for La Paz and I only heard from him when he landed and used their line to

Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.Felix AdlerAfter my alarm went off at 6 am, I get up to my daily exercise and workout section although in the past three weeks I've been experiencing a slight set back and weakness, I know I will kick back in no time. Once done with that, I shower and dress up. I put my long, red, Ankara gown which has a side front parting up to a little above the knee and which holds me in all the right places and displays the little curves I was blessed with. I pick out my black four-inch heels to go with it and for my hair, I decided to let loose.Today is the day I've longed for since the past two years, it's the day I finally gain my independence. Lucas final will in testament will be read today after the calculation of our set requirements, Alvin, Jacob and

"Love is the product of how you respond ... Love is showing your partner they're safe, you'll catch them if they fall, and you'll drop everything if they need you. Love is unconditional. Love doesn't keep score."Shane Parrish"Ten years ago.""Ten years ago?" I find myself echoing back a question, completely lost between surprise and confusion. He looks up at me, "Yes!" He responds with clear certainty.This changes everything I think I've known over the last couple of months I've known Rogue. I stopped searching up things about him because the results always were the same, nothing. Knowing that Edet knew who Rogue was ten years ago makes me wonder what other things he knows about him. I begin to wonder why rogue would not tell me about his relationship with Edet, it not too much to ask? If Edet knew him, does that mean Lucas knew Rogue ten years ago? If yes how come he hasn't said anything about it?
