“I came to see you before going to work, but what did i get. The gateman tells me you and your friend spent the night out” he said angrily.

“i’m sorry dear, I just wanted to ease up stress by clubbing” i apologized,
“who is that guy?” he asked,
“Amara’s cousin” i replied,
“that’s not what i’m asking” he murmured, “what really are his intentions towards you?” he asked. I frowned and stared at him.

“don’t insult me please, what are you insinuating?” i asked,
“i know he is buying his time” he said to himself, getting me a little confused.
“please let’s go to my room, i’m very tired” i begged,
“no i’m almost late for work, but i will be here before 5:30pm” he promised, forcing out a smile.
“alright dear, thanks for helping us yesterday” i thanked and hugged him.
“it’s my obligation, your family is mine also” he replied.

I called mum as soon as i got to my room and enquired about my dad. I was glad they were all okay. I smiled happily and fell on my bed.
“i will be harvesting my cassava tomorrow. The ones planted behind Udoka’s compound” she informed me,
“nawao! Arn’t you supposed to rest this weekend?” i asked with disbelief,
“no dear, there isn’t any garri left in the house and you know your dad prefers home-made. I will rest today, then tomorrow i do the harvest, peel, wash and grind them against monday when i will do the frying” she explained.

“oh mum, you are really stressing yourself too much. Anyway i will be home very early tomorrow to assist you” i promised and hung up.

I took my bath and slept off, waking by 4pm to prepare indomie and egg which i took with a bottle of coke. I was about opening a novel i borrowed from a coursemate, when i heard knocks on my door. I rose up and opened my door. It was Amara with Chike by her side. I really wasn’t pleased to see him but what could i do?.

“don’t tell me you are still sleeping lazy girl?” Amara asked searchingly, “it’s 5:30 already” she laughed.

I allowed them into my room, settled on my bed with Amara, while Chike sat quietly on my reading chair. He grabbed the novel i earlier was about reading and focused his attention on it.

“hmmm BEDDED OR WEDDED by Julia James” he read out the title, drawing out my curiousity.

“do you like romance novels” i asked without thinking,
“yea i love literature with passion, i’m a great fan of romance and crime novels, but i prefer crime more, however it dosen’t stop me from staying awake all night to read a good romance story especially when it’s from Harlequin authors, like Emma Darcy’s “BILLIONAIRE’S CAPTIVE BRIDE”, “WILLINGLY BEDDED, FORCIBLY WEDDED” by Melanie milburne and a whole lot of others” he explained fluently. I was impressed, but just that moment i heard a knock on my door. I glanced at my wall clock and breathed deeply.

MY INSTINCT TOLD ME IT WAS MIKE.
