A I's P O V.
"Do you wanna talk to me about your father?" I looked back to his eyes which suddenly filled with sour. "If you wanna forget your whole past then you have to let it out."
"You are right Ai, but I don't even know what to talk to you about than to let you know the wicked of a father I have."
"His action could be of the past. Why don't you just make a good relationship with him and forget it ever happened."
The journey was a silent one with little breeze hovering the little dirt around.
"I wish I could but he is not even ready to accept his past mistakes. He never sees it as one. My mum still have yo beg my father for love. I just want him gone forever."
"Why would you say such?"
"I am already used to living without him before he came around to add more salt to the wound. I wouldn't have allowed him back in our li
"What is Victor doing here Ai? Arnold? I mean, how did you came across him?""By chance mum. Please move forward." I demonstrated with my hand like he knew not what that meant.Brad moved forward with his dad reluctantly."After everything he did to our family. I almost lost Arnold because of his wicked act. I almost lost my own life. You wouldn't have been here if not for God Ai because both of us would have been dead by now all because of him. So what is he doing here? Why are you here?" Mum raised her voice higher at him."I am aware everything I did in the past could cost your life and I still kept doing it out of my own selfish motives even after I had a son already." He said lowly.I never knew the cold hearted man I met yesterday could be pitiful."What! You had a son during those times?""Yes, I impregnated a lady during my NYSC. I told her to go abort th
"Ai!""Yes, yes mum!""You realized your phone is ringing right?"I looked up at dad to meet his gaze on me."Go pick up in your room if you are uncomfortable picking up in our present." Dad uttered."No dad! I am just – I am –" I stuttered.That wasn't a good thing!"Go on and come back." It sounded like a command and I just have to obey that."Ok!" I got to my room to switched off my phone. I threw it on the bed in anger and paced around my room.He should have just stop calling, why does he had to call continuously. Just be positive Ai. Dad will trust you. What if he didn't?I got back to the living room and acted like nothing was wrong. I could feel his gaze on me, but I fixed my eyes on the T .V show even though I wasn't fully concentrating."You
"Woahhhhhhh! Babyyyyy!" Akila screamed as I walked inside the club house dazzling with different kind of disco colours to make sure her voice was heard through the music playing loudly."Yeahhhh!" I scurried down to her in my black heels, clad in a nude gown that exposed half of my lap. I threw my hands up as we both dance playfully to the music."I miss you so much baby."We both cackled then I tug my hair dangling on my cheeks to my ear."I miss you too."A welcome party was organized for the SS3 students' one month after the completion of our mock exam, looking forward to writing WAEC.Everyone dancing away their sorrows in their different kind of sexy dress. I was never used to dressing girlish, but I have to this night, to look different at least and mum actually complimented that."Look who we have here. Thought you are never coming." Daniel showed u
Ding!I woke up terrified from bed in a dark room, panting heavily from the nightmare perpetually haunting me every single night. I was drenched in sweat and my whole body was trembling. I was frightened with tears unconsciously running down my cheeks.I dug my hand into my black; full; virgin; long hair in pains, then tugged them behind my ears to wipe off my tears. I sniffed in some secs later gasping out in aid to calm down as I unraveled the shadow of curtains around the wall.I stood up from my bed slowly and moved to the bathroom to take a shower as I pulled off my pajamas weakly, turned on the shower letting the water race over my head. I dried myself, then stepped out of the bathroom, made my way to the dressing table in my towel wrapped around my chest. I looked at myself in the mirror sitting on the chair in front of the dressing table, recollecting memories of the past, the scars, and my mistakes, reminiscing on what I've lost in such a short time. The happiest moments in m
I placed my hand slowly over my mouth at the sight of the ladies. "Oh my!" I whispered, my hand on my forehead now. "Oh my God!'" Voice was above a whisper.I shifted my gaze a bit, and it landed unintentionally at the pictures of my death parents' on the wall, and some artistic pictures, down to the leather couch that beautified the living room. My hand fell on my waist as I turned again to face the four ladies standing side by side one another who kept on smiling."Oh my God, girls!" I felt the surge of happiness in my voice as it became louder. I reached out my open arms to the girls. They wouldn't stop giggling and chuckling excitedly. "Damn! This is a big surprise girls, you couldn't -" placed my ha
(USA)We already became friends at that moment in the poolside, chatting and cracking up jokes as Amy tends to lighten up my mood from her funny gestures. Just then, water splashed at me as I was the one closer to the pool.I gasped at my wet dress, looking directly to the pool, my gaze met with the guy with a brown eyeball, clouded with a black round colour. He stared at me apologetically and in a way I can't really explain. He came out of the pool, but never took his eyes off me as he was lost in thought."Hey man, you got to apologize for splashing the damn water, not just staring?" Amy scowled at him.
(USA)We were all in my apartment at the dining close to the window. Cool breeze rushed in, and blew at our faces and hair. A long sofa below the window. We were all chatting, and giggling, when my phone rang out getting everyone's attention. I knew at once it was the same caller that had been calling since dawn broke. So, I ignored it."That is your phone there Monica." Lilian brought to my notice –who was opposite my seat, next to Olivia."Yes, I know." I fixed my eyes on the glass cup in front of me still."So why aren't you taking it? Who is the caller
Hold on girls!" Olivia took a step backwards and strained her ears to listen again to whatever sound she might have heard initially. "Can't y'all hear the sound of water drizzling?" Olivia demonstrated the sound with her mouth and fingers."Oh my God! Bathroom?" I traced the direction the sound was coming from and landed at the entrance of the bathroom. The other ladies followed closely and peeped through the keyhole, near the doorknob. There, Monica sat under the shower, in her pajamas. She folded her two legs, and cupped her face on her thighs, supporting her head with her arms. Water dripped down her hair, which looked fuller than we last saw it.The girls made their way into the bathroom hurriedly,
