PASSIONATE MOMENT

She was about speaking when other teachers ran into the classroom. They seemed to have been alerted by Melisa’s screams and the kids' cries.“What is going on?” One of the teachers asked as she walked towards Melisa who was fuming around the classroom.“Ask your fellow colleague here to explain. Ask her to explain what happened to my daughter!” She barked as she pointed at Miss Edith who was already in tears.“Madam, Lisa,” a tall, slender fair skinned woman in glasses called as she stepped forward from the women who were all watching anxiously.She turned and saw Mrs Brenda, the head teacher of the school standing behind her.“Let’s go to my office so we can talk further. It isn’t safe to discuss things like these in front of kids,” the fair skinned lady in glasses said to her.“I need my daughter! Ask Miss Edith to tell me what she did to my daughter!” She thundered.“Please be calm, madam,” the rest of the teachers consoled as they gathered around her.“Miss Edith, where is May?” M

STAY FOCUSED

Sitting on the couch, she watched May draw a few things in her notebook while soliloquizing as she engaged in her art work. A smile appeared on her face as she watched the little girl do her work diligently. It was a saturday evening and they had both stayed back at home as usual, doing nothing. This was their lives now. No more outing, no more visiting or engaging in any other outdoor activities. Everything changed since they moved to SA to start a new life. She knew this life was boring and strange from the life she was used to. But things had to change, she thought to herself. Her thoughts narrowed to Daren and the smile disappeared from her face. All through the day, she hadn’t stopped thinking about him. She couldn’t stop thinking about the moment they shared last night. It brought back real memories which she was trying so hard to erase. But ever since he left last night, she hadn’t heard a word from him and it got her a bit worried. She was still deep in thought when a knock

KISSING MY MOMMY

He could hear his phone ringing on the bed as he stepped out of the bathroom. He wiped his hand with a white hand towel and reached for the phone on the bed. Looking at the caller ID, his brows gathered.“Mother,” he called in a low tone as he answered the call and sat on the bed.“Daren!” He could hear her calling anxiously on the phone.He kept silent and rubbed his palm over his forehead tiredly.“Daren, what are you doing?! Why have you been avoiding my calls?!” She flared from the phone.“Mother, I’m..I’m..tired,” he replied.“Tired? Daren, the rest of the team are back in Nigeria. What are you still doing in SA?!” She shouted.“Mother..,” he tried to speak.“Shut up, Daren! You’ve been running after Melisa, uh? Oh my God, what did I do to deserve such a despicable child like you?!” She uttered in disgust.“Daren, I give you 24 hours to fly back to Nigeria or be prepared to face my wrath!” She thundered.“Mother, I will be back in Nigeria,” he said.“When?” She inquired harshly.

WHATEVER CHALLENGES

“Who taught her the word, kissing?” He asked in whispers. “I don’t know,” she said with all seriousness as she walked over to the kid. “Come over here,” she said as she dragged her away from the kitchen. “Lisa, be easy on the child,” he voiced out after her with a smile appearing on his lips. Thunderbolts could be heard as they both arranged the dishes on the dining table. “Wow, this is lovely,” Melisa said with a smile as she sat beside the overly excited May. “Daddy, daddy, I love jollof rice,” she cried as Daren took his seat opposite her. “I know. Your mom told me,” he said with a smile. “Now, who’s gonna bless this meal?” Melisa asked. “Me,” May cried with a giggle and they all laughed. “Come on, let’s hear her out,” Daren said with a smile. “Dear God, bless our meal for us, and make mommy and daddy be together around me always. Amen,” she prayed. Their brows raised as they heard the little girl’s prayer. They stared at each other for a moment and looked away. “May, y

I'M READY

She was still deep in thought when she felt his arms tightening around her body. She smiled as she watched his face break into a warm smile with his eyes still shut. “It’s morning already. You’re not planning to sleep all day are you?” She asked with a smile.His eyes opened slowly and he yawned tiredly and stretched away from her body.“I wish it never dawned,” he said with a charming smile as he turned to face her with his hand cupped under his chin.“I can’t believe I slept off so late. I need to take May to school,” she lamented while scratching her messy hair.“May can wait,” he said and shifted closer to her with his hands wrapped around her body.She giggled with her head resting on his chest and he planted a deep kiss on her head.“I missed you so much, Lisa,” he whispered softly.“I missed you more, Daren,” she whispered back.“Um, concerning Mrs Edith, May’s teacher, I called her some days back and she said she is back to work,” he said.“Yeah, I called the school head when

BACK IN NIGERIA

LAGOS, NIGERIA. 11:55AM.The car sped along the ever busy airport road and their laughter and cheerful voices could be heard in the car as they chatted excitedly with Evan who had come to pick them up from the airport.“I’m really so glad to have you guys back. Man, I thought we’ve lost you forever in SA,” he said from where he sat before the steering wheels.Daren smiled and looked at Melisa who was sitting beside him, beautifully dressed in white long satin dress. Her beautiful face was wearing light makeup with her black curly artificial hair falling over her shoulders.“You know, you could have lost him to me forever if I wasn’t lenient in bringing him back,” she remarked and they all laughed.“What’s so special in coming back to Nigeria, except for seeing you guys?” Daren asked with a smile as he caressed the sleeping May in his arms.“Really? Well, I’m glad you realize I’m still important to you,” Evan said and they all laughed again.The car pulled up in Evan’s home and they a

A DEFIANT SON

The mild breeze blew across her face from where she sat on the field with Toyosi sitting opposite her. It was dark and the whole place was calm. “Lisa, what are you thinking? You’ve been moody all day since we left your father’s house,” Toyosi said.She sighed heavily and tucked her hair behind her ears.“I..I don’t know why I’m beginning to develop a feeling of doubt about this whole thing,” she said as she looked at her face.“Feeling of doubt? I don’t get it,” she said abstrusely.“You know, my father’s last words really hitted me hard. I..I don’t know why I’m beginning to feel like he might somehow be right,” she said.“No..no..I’m not taking that!” Toyosi cut in.She swallowed hard and her gaze lowered from her face.“Lisa, how could you believe such a thing! That Daren is working with his family against you?” She asked in disbelief and she didn’t reply.“Your father is only trying to create distrust between you two. Since he can’t break you two physically, he would do so mental

YOUR HERO

In the small dim chambers, she sipped her wine slowly with her face looking downcasted. Mrs Selina could also be seen sitting on the couch opposite her with her legs crossed stylishly.“Elsa, what do you think about my decision concerning Daren? Do you think it’s harsh?” She asked with her eyes looking deep in her face.She heaved a sigh and took a deep breath.“No, mother. Daren needs to be taught a lesson,” she voiced out sternly.“Great. When he finally learns his lesson, I believe he will come back crawling before our feet,” she said with a chuckle.There was a moment of silence and she took a sip from her glass and raised her head to her mother.“So, what are your plans for the company?” She asked.“Well, from what we’ve witnessed so far, Dotun has done so well in handling the company. Right, daughter?” She asked with a smile.She nodded and heaved a sigh.“He really did so well as a CEO,” she acknowledged.“So, I was thinking, now that he is the only one left, why don’t we hand

A GENUIS

There was loud laughter inside the moderately furnished three bedroom apartment. It was a sunny afternoon and a few activities could be seen going on in the house.“I’m so elated to know that Daren and I would finally be living freely on our own,” Melisa’s voice could be heard as she arranged the cushion on the couch.“Yes, you know, it’s better than living in that mansion that erodes your peace,” Toyosi put in.“I’m really so happy. Though it might not be as luxurious as the ones we’ve been used to, what really matters is that we find our peace of mind,” Daren said from the TV shelf and Evan nodded with a smile.“It’s good to have you guys together. I know you’re both never going to regret this,” he said and they nodded with smiles on their faces.“Guys, let’s hurry up before those big headed kids come back from school,” Toyosi said.“Oh, yes, I also need to fix lunch,” Melisa added.In the evening, they all sat in the living room watching Tv together while the kids played around the

THE REUNION

Inside the mini-mall, a few people could be seen walking to and fro. Before the cashier's desk, he stood waiting patiently for his items to be wrapped up. “Oh, thank you,” he said as he was handed the items now wrapped up in a shopping bag.He was about to turn when he felt a presence beside him. He could see the average heighted brown skin man talking to the cashier on the counter. His brows raised and a smile appeared on his face.“Mr Bronze,” he called.The man turned with his brows raised and they both stared at each other in surprise.“Charles,” he called in surprise as he stared at Charles Boseman who was staring at him with a smile on his handsome face.“It’s good to see you again,” he said with a smile and they both shook hands warmly.“I heard what happened, how you left the mansion. Now you are finally becoming a man,” Mr Bronze remarked with a chuckle and Charles managed a small smile on his lips.“Come, we need to talk. My car is parked outside,” he urged and Charles nodd
