Two YEARS LATER.....                °TASHA°   "Tasha, dear!" Cornelius called loudly from the balcony.   "I'm coming!" I shouted from the bedroom at where I sat in front of the mirror. I dubbed my cheeks with blush and picked a red lipstick.   "What are you doing?" He asked.   " Jezz."  My eyes roll. Thought I said I was coming? You're going to cause me to mess my makeup with your impatience."   "What could be more important than the news I have for you?"   A news? Well, we've been having frequent news lately and most of it all has been good. Any time we have that news, our lives change a great fraction.   We've been receiving good news lately  and I can't wait to hear what it was this time so I placed my makeup kit aside and got out. I crave for every bit of

LEONA“Yes…yes...I will.” He breathed.“What are you waiting for then?” I pushed him violently.He crawled back to the bed and pulled out another bag.I snatched it from him, opened the back, and began to do my test after bringing a sample out.This time around, it was pure stuff.“Great!” I walked to him and snatched his phone.I smashed it on the ground, picked his sim out, and got out after picking my belongings.I locked the door behind them after getting out.I smiled happily and made it out to the balcony. I climbed it down and made sure I left no traces before taking the walls too.I landed at the back of the hotel successfully and began to run to where Lando said he'd be waiting for me before I heard the security alarm of the hotel going off.Too late.He met me with the bike. I got on it and we rode off.***“What the fuck! I swe

 LEONAJust when I was diving into dreamland, my eyes fluttered open and I began to worry. I'm so damn tired, what if I don't wake up on time? I thought.'I'll have to wake up on time.''I'll wake up on time.'I kept repeating that until I didn't know when I dozed off again.***A cool breeze hit my bare thighs and I coiled further into the bed, enjoying it. Then a foreign shampoo hit my nostrils. It's a fruity scent mixed with mint. I loved it so I sniffed in some more.The flapping of the curtains from the wild wind jolt me into a sitting position.I looked beside me tensely and relaxed when I saw him sleeping peacefully.My eyes scanned the walls of the room for a clock but none. The only one I found was his Rolex watch which was on his bedside wardrobe but unfortunately at where his face was turned.I stretched my hands over the pillow bridge I buil

LEONAWhen I got to my temporary sleeping base after coming from my son's hostel, I realized that the lights were still on which means that he was still awake.I knelt beside the window to keep an eye on him until he slept but it took forever.I didn't know when I dozed off again. This time when I woke, I walked straight through the window and lied down beside him.After a while, my stomach churned. I was so hungry.I got up and went to his fridge and took the remaining apples then I drank some water before going back to sleep.The next morning, I woke up before he did and I was surprised how he rushed to the bathroom after seeing the clock.He came out minutes later, put his clothes on, and rushed out.Once the door slammed shut, I got out of my hidden place and now it was my time to use the bathroom.I washed my clothes and dried them on the balcony then I went to his fridge and consumed almost everything.I realized that more of the work I did yesterday has been replaced.Did he n

~LEONA~"Raymond," I whispered in shock and surprise.My knees wobbled as I took some steps towards him.he wiped off his hoodie cap as he also walked to me.When I saw him clearly , I thought my feet weren't doing enough so I took to my heels.When we were close, we stared at each other's face for a moment as our eyes met and communicated words we couldn't say with our lips before enclosing our body in a bone-crushing hug."Ray." I mouthed as tears spilled from my eyes."Leo." He whispered back, pulled us apart, and stared at me."oh my God, it's really you." He muttered and hugged me again."I thought I lost you and I'll never see you again Leo."" Me too, I miss you, Raymond."I pulled back and looked up at him, giving him the look that we got a lot to talk about.He nodded and placed his hand on my shoulders as we walked from the streets.***"He's cute," Ray said and lifted baby Leo from the cradle."Yeah, he's pretty.""What name did you give him?""Leo," I stated.His forehead
