“I can’t believe that you are leaving me in Nigeria. This is not fair oh.” Ivy complains as she tries another of my shoes on.
“Madam, shey you supposed to dey help me pack.” I glanced at her but continued to zip my luggage up.
“Eh en, wetin you think say I dey do so?” Ivy commented as she smiled at the shoes she had on. “Dash me this one na, you will see beta ones to buy in Georgia.”
“Ivy.” I complained.
“Alright.” She removes the shoes. “I still think that I need it more than you though.”
Before I could reply her for her statement, my phone rang, I saw it was an unknown number but I picked the call without hesitation. It could be Bode, he recently lost his phone and has been using different numbers to call. Buy phone in Nigeria like a normal person but no, he has to order one

“Who is it?” I shouted as I stood up, a little woozy from my excessive drinking even though my head was clearer now. I opened the door without looking. “What?” I screamed into the face of the person.“Gross. Try that again and I will hurt you.” Stella threatened from my door step as I blinked a couple of times to determine that she was real. “So are you going to let me in or am I going to force my way in?” she demanded and her words broke me out of my stupor, I stopped blocking the doorway so she could enter.“Stella what are you doing here?” I asked her as I shut the door behind her and followed her to the sitting room.“If you are not happy to see me just tell me now so I can leave?”“What’s the point, you are leaving either way.” I tell her not referring to her leaving my house. Her sa
Everybody have their definition of what love is and how it feels like and all the emotions and expectations that follows it, I don’t.I used to think that love was Tomi, it was as simple as that for me.Tomi was the girl of my dreams, her unblemished ebony face that needed no make up to enhance her beauty. Deep brown eyes that never fails to capture my heart anytime she looks at me, and a sinful figure that didn’t fit her innocent personality. Tomi was my best friend, Tomi was the girl I loved and Tomi was my brother girlfriend.Before you start judging me like my countrymen who always leap before looking, Tomi was mine first. I was just too scared to say anything. We w
For the first time in my life, I felt alone, lost and didn’t know what to do now or in the future, I was lost without my guide and best friend Tomi but I refuse to be second place if I do go back. Being second and the spare heir all my life got to me, I thought that she would understand, that she would know better than putting me second to the same person who had made me feel inferior all my life.My phone dings with a notification and I glanced at it only to see that it was a WhatsApp message from Tomi, this time instead of an endless message explaining her words and pleas for me to look at it from her angle, it was a voice note. I decided to play it and a voice which I haven’t heard in ten days started talking.“This is ridic
On getting to the night club, I headed to the V.I.P lounge as I waited for Victor to arrive and he did in Thirty minutes time, walking in with all swagger like he hadn’t kept me waiting. When he finally sat down opposite me, he apologize.“Sorry man, you know how Lagos traffic dey be.”“I do and that is the only reason why I am still sitting here. Let’s order…”“No, let’s hear your story on how there is trouble in thy kingdom first besides, I want to be able to still drink later when I am dancing.”“okay.” I took in a deep breathe. “I like Tomi more than a friend.”
“I said I was sorry na, what do you want me to do.” My cousin from the night before said as I continue to glare at her.“I was slapped because of you and you are still throwing shade at me.” I griped at her.“Not throwing any shade oh, just calm down na. Please Stella, I am sorry!” Ivy said with a roll of her eyes which proves that her words were as insincere as before even if she managed to infuse sobriety in them.“One day, you will enter gbese. The kind of one which I will not be able to help you out of.” I said tiredly then moved towards the bathroom.“Why do you do
He is so arrogant, how could I have thought that first impression for him didn't matter. At least his first impression is way better than the second one, I mean who takes someone he had just met to his investment office to show her his investments.If he was hoping that I would just jump into bed with him after I have seen how much he has, he is going to be so surprise when he sees how off marker he is."Hello, good afternoon Mr. Adeyemi, can I get something for you to drink?" the same girl who has been yapping around him since he stepped into the building asked, this time she had popped a button on her top and was leaning towards him, giving him an eyeful... or would have if he was looking but he barely glanced at her which meant he was used to this kind of scenario happening often.
I was in my office reminiscence on how well I and Stella clicked, that was last week but I still couldn’t stop thinking about that day. After my boring investment talks with Victor which surprisingly was not boring to Stella, I learnt that she was a business management student and also not as bitchy as she had acted, she did have her moments when her character threatened my patience but she did apologized later and we spent a wonderful time together. And she also chose to call it a non-date, that girl is very hard headed and that was what was keeping me interested in her.Her stubborn attitude has it’s uses because I think if she had been like every other girl, she won’t be in my passing thought but she somehow got hold of my thought process and I couldn’t even think of Tomi as usual which was a first in history because I had always thought about that girl.
