I was thinking too much I didn't notice Funke plopped on the chair beside me until she hugged me. "I know how you feel. I know you love him and don't want to leave him but I also know you want to think about him so he can teach himself to trust you. If you are strong, the strongest I've ever met. When David broke you, I thought you'd never be the same again, I decided to follow you here so I could keep an eye on you, and now look at who we are. We are the best graduating master's students in a new country. We have lots of opportunities presented to us, you are a fast-rising author, and we make a good team but you and Ethan are something I've never seen before. You both are like now and arrow, coordinated, never doing anything without the other. When I see the way you both look at each other I'm reminded that there is nothing love cannot conquer and knowing you made me want to strive hard to be the best for Joel. I don't know about the route you want to take but I know God will lead yo

Precious POVUnlike most Yoruba parents who were very strict with their kids, my parents were lively, funny, and disciplined, yes but they interacted with us as though we were friends.Growing up, they instilled in us discipline but more maturely, we were allowed to go anywhere we wanted and have what they called, street sense, so that way we wouldn't want to disappoint them."What about your boyfriend, Ethan?" my smile vanished. It was my dad that asked. My parents believed in freedom, so when I was never scared to tell them I had a boyfriend."We are taking a break. We had an argument that I don't want to talk about" they nodded in understanding.I loved my parents when it came to the point where we don't want to talk, they gave us space and privacy because they trusted us. I remembered the time I did something wrong; I had told them I wasn't going out that day and I did. Let's just say, they gave me an earful but the worst was when they said they were disappointed in me. I felt li

Precious POV Wait, he was here? That thought snapped me out completely like a bucket of water and I pulled away quickly but still enough to see the hurt that flashed through his eyes. "How are you here? How did you know where I live?" I fired the questions at him. My body was excited and nervous that he was there. Why was I nervous? Granted he hurt me, but I have never gotten the image of him out of my head. "What no hello? How are you?" he playfully smiled and I just glared at him making him gulp. He had a playful side to him that I had missed so much. His ability to either lighten or darken the mood always made me intrigued by him. "You know what I mean Ethan, what are you doing here?" I asked in an indifferent tone. As much as I knew that I was the one hurt, I was happy he was here, and that pissed me off. "Can we go somewhere to talk?" he asked quietly looking around and I noticed that we had managed to pull a crowd. I chuckled at people’s reactions. It was not every da

I see the moon in your eyes...I see the stars in your heart.©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVI woke up to my alarm blaring. Stretching my limbs, I moved to switch the alarm off.It was 7 am on Sunday, so I had to go to church. I attended the King's heritage parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Quickly getting up from my bed, I moved to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.Then I proceeded to the living room to start my chores and since my siblings weren't home, I had to do the work and the housekeeper doesn't come in on Sundays.I finished cleaning the house and cooking rice and stew for us, then I went to wake up my parents only to see my mum doing her daily quiet time and my dad snoring away.Shaking my head, I softly tell them food is done. I went into my room to have my bath. Stepping out of the bathroom, I took out my clothes which consisted of a long-sleeved, short flowing sky-blue gown that reached my knee and my pair of silver heels. I put on my lotion and un

P.S This chapter is a bit long, so sorry in advance. What you don't know,Can't hurt you...What you do know,Can change you.© Oluwatoyosi Ethan's POV I drove for about 2hours but finally pulled up at the gigantic building. I turned and looked at Ife, she had woken up 30mins when she first slept but I told her we hadn't gotten there yet, so she picked up her phone and was reading I think a book called The Alchemist, which was what she called it, and went right back to sleep. She looked so peaceful and still so beautiful; she still had the power to knock me out of breath anytime I saw her. I leaned in and caressed the side of her hair, she relaxed and moaned, and I smiled knowing I still affected her. I wish we could stay like this for a while, peaceful, without having to eventually see the look of dislike for me in her eyes. I could tell she tried to make it subtle but I always got it and it pained the hell out of me. I wished, I wanted to turn back the hands of time and go ba
