    Witches Lust-Episode23

    Written by Sadiq Infinity

    #CHRISTEN 😒

    Tonight was sure fun… Spending time with Riley is never a dull moment.. But there was something about tonight that makes me tremble up till now… And it was the marriage topic that RILEY brought up.. I knew he was serious when he said that.. I would love to marry him but there are a lot of things that I’m afraid that might happen to us.. Oliver was right.. Maybe I’m getting too into Riley so much but he’s the best thing that’s happened to me in centuries.. And I would hate for us to break up… Well that’s a problem for another time.

    After I escorted Riley home, I went back to mine… As I was soaring into the air flying back home, I saw something shiny on the ground… I immediately landed down and check what it was… As I checked it out, I saw it was a stone but it was different from any stone I’ve seen..

    As I observed it carefully… I saw a sealing spell on it.. It was a very powerful sealing spell and who ever did this, doesn’t want anyone to open it or have it.. But luckily for me.. Aunt Jezebel has taught me a lot on sealing spells and how to undo them..

    As I studied the spell, I realised the one who made this seal used dark magic to seal whatever that was inside this stone.. So saving myself time.. I decided to use the *Crimson light * since it cancels all form of magic… So I held the stone tight and said the magic words..

    *Sires_dyves_Crimson_lighto*

    And Phooom!!!!!! The light shone so bright around the area, you could think that the moon had landed in that area… After the light had ceased, The sealing spell broke and the stone began to crack until it disintegrated.. After that, I saw something fall out of the rubble, as I picked it up and looked at it… It was a totem with a lighting insignia on it..

    Just then I recognized what it was.. It was one the cradle of life.. This was Sango’s totem..his lightning power… So all this time.. It was hidden here… And if I remembered correctly, Lucas had six of them.. This was the last piece he needed to annihilate the humans… No matter what happens, I won’t let him have this Totem…

    Just as I was busy looking at the Totem, I heard a crackling sound.. I immediately turned around to see who it was.. And Speak of the devil it was Lucas himself…

    We both stared at each other for while… Lucas’s eyes were filled with shock as he saw the totem in my hands… Seeing there was no way to get the Totem.. He tried another means to persuade me to give it to him.. Diplomacy.

    .

    Lucas ➡ My dear Christen … What a surprise to see you here…

    .

    Christen  ➡ Is that so? What brings you here?

    .

    Lucas ➡ I was just passing by when I saw a bright light from afar, so I decided to come and check..

    .

    Christen  ➡ Hmm, so move along..

    .

    Lucas ➡ I’m afraid I can’t do that.. You have something that I want… The last totem of Sango the god of thunder..

    .

    Christen  ➡ Oh really? Well finders keepers.. I found it first..

    .

    Lucas ➡ I agree but I don’t see why you should oppose me.. I only want what’s best for us witches.. I want to rid this world of these filthy humans.. Give me the totem and all this will end..

    .

    Christen  ➡ Let me think…… No..

    .

    Lucas ➡ Don’t be stupid.. Christen .. These humans are polluting the world with their vile existence.. We need to take back what’s ours..

    .

    Christen  ➡ This world is not for us, nor the humans or anybody.. It belongs to the divine creator..

    .

    Lucas ➡ What are you saying? There is no divine creator.. With these totems we can become gods.. Can’t you feel the power of the totem in your hands.. It’s enormous.

    .

    I have to admit.. I could like the power of the totem surging through me.. It was it was amplifying my powers.. Now I believe he can destroy the humans with these… The power is just to great.

    .

    Christen ➡ I can feel it and it’s immense but my answer is still no…

    .

    Lucas ➡ You’re trying my patience little girl.. GIVE ME THE TOTEM, NOW!!!

    .

    Christen ➡ Like I said finders keepers..if you want it come and get it.. If that is you can.

    .

    Lucas ➡ Don’t get so cocky.. Our last encounter was just luck.. I’m stronger than you.

    .

    Christen ➡ We shall see.. And if I remembered correctly, I took a limb from you.. I see you haven’t Learnt your lesson..

    .

    Lucas ➡ (laughs) Oh you mean this?

    .

    Lucas showed me his amputated arm and it was back to normal… I couldn’t believe it.. Lucas didn’t have the power to heal himself to this extent and I know he’s not stupid enough to go to the witch world and seek medical attention because that will like walking into the lion’s den.

    .

    Lucas ➡ I can see the surprised look of your face.. I used Erinle’s (god of healing) amulet or rather totem to heal myself and as you can see, my arm is back. Not only I’m I powerful, but I’m also immortal as well.

    .

    Christen ➡ Nothing lives forever and I’ll start by showing you that death is real…. DIE!!!

    .

    I made the tree branches descend on Lucas but he performed some kind of dark magic that made the trees disintegrate… He made a dark matter on the palm of his hands and threw it straight at me.. I quickly moved out of the way and the thing passed right at me, it landed on a tree and I saw what the thing did, i made the tree wilt and die.. I began to wonder what kind of magic was this because I’ve never seen it before..

    .

    Christen ➡ What kind of devilish magic is this?

    .

    Lucas ➡ The devil’s omen.. It eats any living thing.. Anything as long as there’s life in it..

    .

    Christen ➡ This kind of magic shouldn’t be in existence.. You’re a curse Lucas and I’m going to end you…

    .

    Going all out.. I unleashed my power since I was in my domain.. I casted a spell so powerful even Lucas couldn’t stand a chance it was called “Nature’s fury”

    Nature’s fury is a forbidden spell actually.. It’s a spell that works on tropic zones, like where we are now, its changes the natural orders of things turning everything in that place in poison. Water, fruits, herbs.. Anything..

    So using this spell, I made the trees bigger covering them with spiky thorns and then made the branches descend on Lucas, he tried to his magic but it was all in vain.. I made the trees form a barricade around him so he would escape.. Then I summoned the insects in that area to my will, the only ones available were bees.. I made them stung Lucas all around and so hard, he began to yell in pain.. His body began to swell up really fast.. He shouted and smashed his way out of my barricade hoping to escape.. But he wasn’t fast enough.. I made a ground he stood on turn to *Quicksand *

    Lucas began to sink into the soil, he tried all he could to get out, seeing he was out of options, he tried to use magic.. But before that could happen, I used a forbidden magic which only the Council were allowed to use.. It was called the *Trinity_seal*

    The #Trinity_Seal is a spell that blocks a witches or wizards power for an amount of time depending on when the user sets it.. But since Only the Council could use it.. They were the only ones who could break it.. Which means Lucas is forever without magic powers unless if The Trinity seal is broken and I doubt if he’ll go to the Council.

    .

    Lucas ➡(panics) YOU B*TCH!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

    .

    Christen ➡ I blocked your powers.. And the only people who could save you now is the Council..

    .

    Lucas ➡ WH*RE! I’LL MAKE YOU PAY! THIS ISN’T OVER.

    .

    Christen ➡ For you it is.. I was thinking of taking you to the Council.. But now.. All I have to do is bury you deep and make sure you never come out ever.. Not even your totems can save you this time.. So I’ll do you a favor, by bury you with them.. So long.. Bastard.

    .

    Lucas shouted and struggled hard to get out.. So I made the Quick sand to be more softer so he could descend quickly and deeper.. Using Sango’s totem, I summoned a powerful lightning and struck it hard on Lucas’s head.. The impact shot him deep down into the depths of the earth, after that, I made the quicksand disappear and canceled the nature’s fury spell.

    After that, I stretched myself and went home.. Its been a while since I used my power this much and I’m really exhausted…. At last no more Lucas.

    As I went home i went straight into my room and jumped on my bed.. I brought out Sango’s totem and examined it.. I may not know what the future holds but its best if I should get rid of this thing or better yet hide it where no one will find it.. Perhaps I should give it to Riley for safe keeping… After that, I laid down on bed and went to sleep.

    The next morning, I woke up joyfully and happy.. For some reason, I was feeling good about myself..After I had taken a nice bath, and ate some food, I went straight to school.

    I was hoping Riley and I could spend some Quality time together but as I came to school, I saw no sign of him.. As the hours passed, There was still no sign of Riley.. I had no phone to call him because this gadgets confuse me, that’s why I don’t possess any one. So I decided to ask his friends Khalid and Tina of his whereabouts.

    .

    Christen ➡ Excuse me? Have you both seen Riley?

    .

    Khalid ➡ Hey Christen.. No we haven’t..

    .

    Tina ➡ I tried his number but it’s not going.. Maybe he’s occupied with family issues.

    .

    Christen ➡ Okay thanks..

    .

    Maybe they were right.. I would have gone to his house but I didn’t want to through any stress, like greetings his family and all that,..

    Later after lectures, I headed to the cafeteria to have something to eat.. Before I could notice anything, Rukky and her friends bumped into me.. They looked at me and laughed as for Rukky, she just brushed my shoulder and passed.

    .

    Christen ➡ Watch where you’re going. The sensible thing you could do right now is apologize.

    .

    Rukky ➡ See her o.. Mrs. Morality… Soon you’ll regret the day, you stole Riley from me..

    .

    Christen ➡ Is that a threat?

    .

    Rukky ➡ I don’t have time to talk to you.. Let’s go jare.

    .

    Rukky and her friends walked away laughing.. I wasn’t one to take a threat lightly.. So while nobody was looking, I summoned Ovarkt my demon servant, to see what Rukky was planning.

    .

    Rukky ➡ You.. I want you to find out what ever is in here mind.

    .

    Ovarkt ➡ You want me to enter her body?

    .

    Christen ➡ No fool. Just enter her mind.. And don’t do anything stupid..

    .

    Ovarkt ➡ You really are no fun at all.. Well, your wish is my command.

    .

    Ovarkt disappeared and I went to the cafeteria.. While I was eating in the cafeteria..Ovarkt appeared and told me what he had found out.

    .

    Ovarkt ➡ That girl had a serious grudge on you.. She visited a herbalist and got some few things..

    .

    Christen ➡ What are they?

    .

    Ovarkt ➡ A puppet doll, she wrote your name on it.. It seems anything that happens to that doll, also happens to you.. And she got a love potion to make Riley hers.

    .

    Christen ➡ Seriously? Does she think her toys could harm a witch like me? Well, looks like I have to teach that girl some manners. Okay Ovarkt.. Get out of here.

    As soon as Ovarkt was out of sight.. Rukky and her friends came in.. One of them saw me and told Rukky, they went to the end of the cafeteria sitting around a table.. Luckily for me.. My sense of hearing enabled me to hear what they were about to do.. And it would seem Rukky wanted out her doll on me..

    Even if she did tear the doll apart nothing would happen to me… But since she was planning to make a fool out of me, I decided to teach her once and for all, I’m not to be messed with. So I lowered my voice and chanted out this spell to reverse the curse back on her.

    *Demons of Satans, Servants of darkness*

    *Heed my words and turn all mischief*

    *back on who wishes me Ill luck*

    *Let them feel the pain of their own mischief*

    After the spell, I wove my fingers straight at Rukky.. I sat back and watched what may happen next.. Within seconds.. Rukky jumped up and shouted in dismay, her clothes had torn off.. Everyone in the cafeteria saw what happened and being to laugh at her.

    Seeing how the tables turned on her, she tried another attempt at the doll, twisting it’s arm.. The sound of *SNAP!!!! was heard and Rukkt shouted out loud in pain.. She had broken her arm.. Poor girl.. Her friends immediately took her out of the cafeteria to avoid further humiliation.. After they had left, I canceled out the spell so she wouldn’t do anything to herself..

    After that, I left the cafeteria and went back to class… Hours later, after lectures was over, I went back home… As I passed the Iroko tree, my mind went back to Riley.. I hope he’s fine and not in some kind of trouble..

    As I arrived home, I went into my room and fell on my bed.. Just when I was about to have a nap… Rose bursted into the room, laughing cynicallly as usual….. She jumped on the bed lying close to me, as she wrapped her arms around me..

    .

    Rose ➡ Christen, Christen.. How’s your day, little sis?

    .

    Christen ➡ I really need some space.. Can you back off a little, you’re getting too close.

    .

    Rose ➡ What’s wrong with sisters lying so close to each other? Besides, you look worried.. Is something wrong?

    .

    Christen ➡ No, I’m just tired, that’s all..

    .

    Rose ➡ Well, the reason why you’re all bored and all is because you don’t have fun. These useless humans sure provide a lot of entertainment for us..

    .

    Christen ➡ For you… Not me.. I prefer a little peace and quietness..

    .

    Rose ➡ So.. Christen… Lucas has been asking me to fix you up with him.. I told him You’re weren’t interested.. But he was determined to try.. So are you…

    .

    Christen ➡ Hell no… I’d rather die alone than be with that snake.. Besides he won’t be bothering anyone again.

    .

    Rose ➡ What is that suppose to mean?

    .

    Christen ➡ I massacred and buried the bastard deep down into the depths.. He won’t be coming out ever..

    .

    Rose ➡ Unbelievable… You handled Lucas all alone?

    .

    Christen ➡ Yes? He wasn’t that much of an opponent.. No more Lucas.

    .

    Rose ➡ I’m surprised at you… I thought you were all that weak and lame..

    .

    Christen ➡ Thanks for the insults.. can you please leave.. I want to sleep..

    .

    Rose ➡ Have it your way…

    ..

    As soon as Rose went out, I locked the door and stretched myself on my bed.

    While I was sleeping, I had a terrible dream.. And in that dream.. Riley was killed brutally… His body was pierced with iron bars and covered in maggots and standing above his Body was Rose…

    I woke up with a start sweating all over… I quickly ran out of bed and wore my casual clothes… My main objective was to get to Riley’s house…

    I soon left the house and teleported to his house to check on him.. Soon I arrived at his house.. I stood at the door and took a deep long breath before knocking…

    As I knocked at the door, I had to wait for some few minutes before the door opened and as the door opened.. I was Riley standing before me.. He was surprised to see me but I noticed he was in a very sad mood..

    .

    Christen ➡ Hey babe.. What’s wrong?

    .

    Riley ➡ Its my brother Christen.. He’s.. He’s.. dying..

    .

    Christen ➡ Oh no………..

    .

    #RUKKY 😤

    I just couldn’t believe it.. So all that 30k was all for nothing… This baba shogun scammed me to the core.. How could I be such a fool?

    Instead of hurting Christen, I ended up humiliating myself.

    After school was over… My friends helped me back to my hostel, to tend to my wounds..

    .

    Rukky ➡ EWO! Be careful… Do you want to break my hand?

    …

    Tosin ➡ Sorry babe.. Sorry..

    .

    Rukky ➡ Abeg shut up…. You’re the one who put me in this situation..

    .

    Gaby ➡ I told you guys but you didn’t listen..

    .

    Tosin ➡ Look, Baba shogun’s charm always works.. This is not the first time, he has been helping me with his stuff.. But I’m surprised how yours turned out different Have you read coolval stories today? .

    .

    Rukky ➡ We’re going back to his place.. He must pay me my money…

    .

    Gaby ➡ But you’re hurt…

    .

    Rukky ➡ I can manage… Help me get dressed.

    …………

    Later we arrived at Baba shogun’s place together with Tosin and Gaby… I didn’t waste time throwing insults at him for scamming me.

    .

    Rukky ➡ You said your stuff would work.. But it didn’t.. I ended up hurting and humiliating myself..

    .

    Tosin ➡ Baba, something must have gone wrong instead of the other victim getting hurt, she did.

    .

    Baba shogun ➡ Did she try the love potion?

    .

    Rukky ➡ Try what? So I should poison someone.. I threw the useless thing away. I need my money.. REFUND MY MONEY O!

    .

    Baba shogun ➡ Sorry.. No refund.. If you had tried the potion you would have seen the results.. Bidse

    .

    Christen ➡ Look fool, let me show you what I mean.. The stuff you gave me is a scam.

    .

    I grabbed the toy and wrote his name on it, after that I twisted the head so I forgot the consequences of what I was doing but to my surprise something else happened . Immediately I did that, Baba shogun shouted in pain.. His head was facing the back of his head… I shouted in horror and dropped the Toy.. Tosin too shouted in dismay and Gaby took to her heels..

    Baba shogun was dead before we knew it..Since we were out of ideas on what to do… Tosin and I ran out of the place before anyone could see us..

    We all arrived at the hostel minutes later.. Gaby was busy moving around the room as she lamented about Shogun’s death.

    .

    Gaby ➡ This is bad.. This is bad.. This is bad o… A man is dead.. What are we going to do?

    .

    Tosin ➡ Shut up.. We’re safe since nobody saw us… Besides it wasn’t our fault.. We thought the doll was a fake. But I’m surprised o… How comes it worked on Baba shogun.. It doesn’t make sense.. Are you sure you wrote her name well.

    .

    Rukky ➡Don’t ask me that stupid question? I’m not that dumb that I can’t spell her name.

    What I need now is to find a way to get back at her… I can’t let her go Scott free.. She must pay..

    .

    Gaby ➡ Why won’t you leave her alone? What happened to you should be a clear lesson and warning to leave Christen alone.. I don’t like the kind of vibe I’m getting from her.. She’s bad news.

    …

    Rukky ➡ I don’t care.. I must humiliate her like she did to me…

    .

    Tosin ➡ Since you’re so hell bent on getting back at Christen.. I know someone who can give you what you want.. But be careful, she’s not to be tricked with…

    .

    Rukky ➡ I hope she doesn’t use charms and those nonsense..

    .

    Tosin ➡ No.. This one uses dark magic.. In short.. she’s a witch.. Juju witch..

    .

    Gaby ➡ For the last time.. Stop this before you all do something you’ll regret..

    .

    Rukky ➡ Don’t mind Gaby… So where’s this Mysterious juju lady? And what’s her name?

    .

    Tosin ➡ She’s in Ile-ife.. And her name is Roselyn..

    WHEN I FALL INLOVE

    When I Fall Inlove-Episode 34

    Writen by Ruthie Lee

                            [~] 

    And in my front, in front of the fridge Kathleen drank five bottles of water. And it was the big bottle sized.

     Kathleen breathed out tiredly as she picked the bottles from the floor.

    “Now I feel alive again.” she gave me a smile.

    I stood still, my eyes fixated on her. What the hell, just happened?

     Kathleen smiled at me and as she disposed the bottles into the kitchen’s waste bin, she walked out of the kitchen and still yet I followed her.

     My head started to calculate on why she passed out, but if she doesn’t know, how do I know?.

     I walked into the living room and met her sitting down on the couch beside Mary. I didn’t bother asking about why she passed out.

    Or is she dehydrated? Because fishes get dehydrated few minutes after they’re out from the water. But still she has been doing fine and…

     I quit thinking on my own and asked her.

    “Why did you drink so much quantity of water?” I asked sitting down opposite her.

    “Because I felt super thirsty!” she replied.

    “No, one, not even in a hundred years can feel so thirsty to empty five bottles in one go!” I tell and she shrugged.

    “Are you getting dehydrated or something?” I asked.

    “De– hydr–ated?” she repeated

    “Like parched, it’s like when you’re dry on the inside, You know how fishes die when they are brought out of the water, because their body suddenly becomes dry and they crave for the water because they can’t swim or breathe without that water. do you miss the water or anything?” I asked to be sure. 

    Kathleen laughed.

    “Why on neptune would I miss the water? I love it here and I just drank so much water because I was thirsty that’s all” Kathleen smiled. 

    “That’s all?” I raised my brows at her. 

    “Look I’m not trying to be a detective or any thing, but I feel really uncomfortable with what just happened, so you’re telling me that when you sirens are out of the water for a long time, you don’t get dehydrated?” I asked and she shook her head Negatively. 

    “We don’t! Honestly, and now thinking about it, it’s strange, with what happened to me too! I’ve never drank so much water like that.” she laughed. 

    “This isn’t funny kath, it’s something we should worry about” I let her know. 

    She breathed out a sigh. “I don’t know what happened sir, Joseph but I am fine now.” 

    “And how are you so sure something like that won’t happen again?” I narrowed my eyes at her. 

    “Because I’m so sure.” she repeated. 

     I swallowed my smile by her outrageous reply. 

    “So… How was it, did the baby belong to you?” Kathleen asked. Her gaze was stern and curious. 

    “Huh?” 

    “No, the baby actually belongs to Henry! And Suzanne tried to pin the baby on me so she’ll get back together with me.” I explained and Kathleen gasped. 

    “She is such a bad person.” 

    “I know right!”  I smirked. 

    We became quiet again, well for a brief moment because Kathleen immediately started another conversation.

    “Joseph!” she called and I looked up. What happened to the sir.

    Well it doesn’t matter.

    “Just like you taught me how to surf the internet before you left to meet Suzanne, I was surfing the internet and believe when I say the internet knows everything, I was surfing the internet when I came across the question love, they asked what was love and told me to click the page to understand the meaning of love.” Kathleen explained happily.

    “Okay? And let me guess you clicked the page right?” i scoffed and she nodded with a smile.

    “I clicked the page and they explained what love is, I came across so many questions and the answers and I was thrilled, so many questions on my mind were answered, it was like magic.”  Kathleen explained and you should see the way her eyes lit up in excitement as she talked. She was like a child, a child who was sailing off on a deserted rainbow and seeing things she hadn’t seen before. This story is written by Ruthie lee. 

     Kathleen quieted down and gave a small sigh. “And then I came across something that said, when you and the opposite gender, share cuddles and kisses what does it mean?”  she raised her head up at me. Is she waiting for me to answer her question? When I said nothing she sighed again.

    “I left that question when I found another one similar to it but had a slight different, and it said when you and the opposite gender, shares more than hugs and  kisses, when you’re not even married neither are you guys In a dating relationship what does it mean? The question made me pause because the question sounded like something that should be answered by you, sir, Joseph! What does it mean?”

    She never stops.

    Maybe it wasn’t good idea dropping my phone with her. I like her being clueless. 

    Finally I said something

    “What does it mean? Didn’t you read the answer to that?” I asked. 

    “I did, but I want to hear from you first.”  she lowly said and her head turned to her fingers on her thighs. 

      Well according to her question I clearly don’t know what to reply as an answer.

    when you and the opposite gender, shares more than hugs and  kisses, when you’re not even married neither are you guys In a dating relationship what does it mean? That question kind of feels like…. Us.

    Kath and I aren’t dating, neither are we married, we’ve hugged more than once and kissed more than once too, we’ve had sexual intercourse once. And yet we are not in any relationship.

     ‘is it necessary to be in any relationship?’ my subconscious asked and I sighed and looked at Kathleen.

    “I don’t know.” I stated. “To be very honest, I don’t know”.

    Kathleen looked up at me. “You’re very smart sir, Joseph how can you not know something like this.”

    “Because I am not a love expert” I replied. “You said you saw the answer but you wanted to hear from me first, now tell me what did the answer say?”

     Kathleen tilt her head. “It said what I didn’t understand. It said, friends with benefits, what does that mean?” Kathleen looked confused to show she really doesn’t know what friends with benefits meant.

    It was kind of embarrassing explaining and having this kind of conversation with Kathleen. 

    “It’s somewhere between a dating relationship and a friendship.” I started. “Friends with benefits means when two friends who knows each other so well engage in intimate or sexual activity without really dating each other.”

    Kathleen wore a sad smile. “That’s what we are right? We don’t have anything going on we are just being intimate with each other, I thought it was a good thing, but now with you explaining to me, I don’t want to be friends with benefits with you.” she looked at me.

    I shook my head. “That’s not what we are.” I said, assuring 

    “Then. What are we?” she asked.

    “Think about it, we’re not even friends to begin with.” I said.

    “Isn’t that even worse?” she sniffed.

    Don’t tell me she’s about to cry. “If we’re not even friends, then how do we become friends with benefits!”.

    “Huh?” I was confused by what she was talking about.

    “Look Kathleen” I called and she turned to me. “We do not stand as friends neither are we friends with benefits”.

    “Okay then what are we?” she asked.

    “We’re in a relationship!” I tell her. Her eyes almost lit up in excitement but she managed to keep her cool.

    “What kind of relationship?” she asked.

    “We’re in a dating relationship!” I said and gave a small nod.

    I just started a relationship between us.

    “We are?” Kathleen smiled.

    “We are.” I repeated.

    “Okay, I want you to think hard, I want you go think really hard, Charles, cause I want to ask you some questions and I would want you to think really hard and I will also want you to answer all the questions, sincerely.” I said to Charles, he nods his head and said, “okay I’m ready.” 

    “Good. Now I want you to think. Has your sister ever had a fight with anybody.” I ask him.

    He thinks a little, “No.” He answers shaking his head sideways.

    “Does she has any enemy.” I ask again. “No.” He answered with no hesitation.

    “Are you sure she hasn’t be in any fight, she does not have any enemy.” I asked him again. “Yes, my sister hasn’t been in any fight, I know of and she doesn’t have any enemy. Besides what sort of enemy would my sister have, that would want to kidnap her.” Charles utters confused.

    “Hmm, if your sister wasn’t in a fight, she does not have any enemy. Then who would have gotten her kidnapped, wait oh my God. Could it be, she was kidnapped by Xander Clark.” I conclude, so sure Xander is responsible for Sylvia disappearance.

    “Okay…. I’m going to have to stop you right there. Who the heck is Xander Clark?.” Charles asked staring at me in confusion.

    “He is a man, who’s ego, is as big as this house. He is one of the most feared assassin in the world and now he wants to stamp his authority on me.” 

    “Okay…. Xander Clark has a very big ego and he is also an assassin, got it. Now what does his ego, had to do with my sister, why did he kidnap her. Wait, don’t tell me this is his way of getting to you.” He asked thoughtfully and I nod my head.

    “Wow, well…. How do we get my sister back.” He asked. I paced around my room, thinking of what to do and how to rescue Sylvia, from that scumbags hold, no idea came to me. “Charles, I don’t how I’m going to rescue your sister.” I confessed, sighing deeply, still ransacking my brain for a solution.

    “What, you have to have a solution for this, you are the one with the brains that always comes up with solution. We can’t leave my sister in the hands of am assassin, who’s ego is as big as your house.” He uttered.

    “I’m not going to leave your sister in the hands of those man charles, I will never do that. So calm down, I just have to think of something and I promise I will not stop thinking till I have come up with a solution to rescue your sis. Your sister is in that egocentric man’s hands, all because of me, so I will rescued her.” I assured him.

    “Okay. So… What’s the plan.” He asked energetic.

    “Well… The only thing I can do right now, is to call Xander. I wish I have put a tracker on her, and then this would have been really easy to find her and I won’t have to contact that son of a bitch.” I groaned, bringing out my phone from my pocket. I dialled Xander number and on the first ring, he picked the call.

    “Finally, she calls. I’ve been expecting your call, Mia. What took you so long.” Xander irritating voice comes through my phone speaker. I hate his voice, I really hate his voice.

    “Where is my friend Xander.” I asked, my voice showing no emotion. “Oh your friend, she’s right here, tied to a bed, with tell naked horny guys ready to rape her at my command.” He said casually, like he didn’t just say anything bad.

    “Xander!!!.” I growled angrily. “Yes, sweetheart. What can I do for you.” I could feel his grinning right now, at the moment and I wish, I could slap that grin off his face.

    “Xander, don’t you dare do anything to her. If anything should happen to her, I promise…”

    “Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. I get it Mia, if anything should happen to your friend, you will send my to the deepest part of hell but guess what, I’m the one with your best friend, and so I’m the one who’s going to be giving the threats. If you are not on my bed, by 10pm tonight, I’m going to make sure, your friend here, get f!cked, in a way she has never expected before. 10pm, Mia. 10pm.” 

    “Xander, don’t..” he hung up in me, that scumbag hung up on me.

    “So…. What did he say, is he going to let my sister go, did you guys come to an agreement.” Charles asks, impatiently.

    “Yeah, we came to an agreement. I will go get your sister charles, don’t worry. Now, while I go get your sister, I would want you to go meet my mum and tell her that I want the both of you to stay in the basement, for safety. Don’t worry she will know what I’m talking about.” I smiled at him, gave him a small pat on the shoulder then walked out of my sitting room, ready to go save Sylvia.

                      Xander pov

    I stood by my mini bar in my living room, drinking from a bottle of whiskey, casually waiting for Mia, my eyes on the door. I know it’s kind of weird that I will kidnap her mum and now her best friend, all because I want her. Xander clark doesn’t work like this, but geez the urge to have is so strong.

    “Okay Xander I’m here, release my friend.” Mia shouts walking into the living room.

    “Slow down, miss Mia. Have you forgotten that I will have to give you a good f!cking before I really your friend to you.” I asks her smirking. Mia take in a deep breath, then said, “Fine, let’s go to your room.” 

    “Actually Mia, that deal is off, I kind of want something else now.” I drawled, she stared at me confused. “You can’t just change the rules whenever you feel like, Xander Clark.” She utters angrily.

    “Yes I can. Your friend not getting raped tonight is solely laid on my finger tip.” 

    “Okay fine, what do you want.” She gave in.

    “Marry me.” I blurt out.

    “You are joking right.” She asked chuckling.

    “No, I’m not.” I answered staring into her eyes.

                          Mia’s POV

    I dialled Xander number angrily, tapping my foot on the ground anxiously. If Xander was infront if me right now, I’m so sure I would be sending him flying to deepest part of hell. How dare him kidnap my mum, and then leave a stupid note asking him to call him, who those he think he is.

    “Hello Mia, I’ve been waiting for your call.” His cocky voice comes through my speaker. I just want to rip his damn throat out, he couldn’t even ask who is on the line, he us just so damn proud and over confident, that I will look for his number and call him.

    “Where is my mother Xander.” I gritted, wishing I could just punch his damn face right this minute. “Straight to the point I see. Not even a simple greeting, come on Mia, are we fighting.” He drawled. I hate his damn voice.

    “We will be, if you don’t tell me where my mum is right this minute, Xander.” I yelled into the phone, glaring at the wall infront of me, imagining Xander’s overconfident face right over there.

    “Are you sure, you should be talking to me, in such manner Mia. I have your mother’s life, in my very own palm, Mia.” He taunts, I can tell he is really enjoying this.

    “Fine, what do you want.” I asked calmly, sighing a little bit.

    “Now, that’s the voice I’ve been waiting for.” He said laughing. “Xander, I don’t have time for your sick games, just tell me. What do you want?.” I spelled it out for him.

    “One night with you Mia, one night to f!ck your pu$$y Mia, one night and I will return your mother back to you.” He didn’t just say that right, he didn’t just say that. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh, call down, calm down Mia. 

    “That is never going to happen, Xander, you can never have me, not even in your dreams.” I state angrily, then hung up on him immediately.

     “Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.” I hate Xander Clark. I hate that freaking scumbag so much, and I’m going to make him. “Okay, okay. Calm down, I can see that call was a very unpleasant call but why don’t you take your anger out on him, yelling won’t do you any good.” Sylvia advice.

    “Thanks Sylvia.” I appreciates walking out of the kitchen.

    “You’re welcome. Uhm, the person you just talked to, is he responsible for your mum disappearance.” She asked concerned, following right behind me.

    “Yes.” I answered simply, rushing down the stairs to the basement.

    “Okay… So what do you intend to do.” Sylvia asked again.

    “I’m going to go get my mother back, of course.” I answered, inputting my password, in the basement door.

    “Okay. Is there anything I could to do to help.” She asked, “yes, you can stay right in here. I don’t know if any of that scumbag men, are out here watching the house and I wouldn’t want them seeing you coming out of my house, your life will be at risk.” I said to her, taking all the things I would need, for my mission.

    “Okay. Be careful out there, Mia.” She said softly, hugging me from the back, I turned around and hugged her back.

    “Don’t worry, I will be fine. Your friend is made of iron, remember.” I smiled at her, hug her one more time, and then walked out of the basement, lock the basement door, I don’t want to take any chances. With one more look at my house, I got on my bike and drove away. I had a tracker fixed in my mum teeth, so it shouldn’t be hard finding her.

                 Xander POV 

    “Don’t you think, this is kind of too much, okay it’s not kind of too much Xander. This is too much, for just one girl.” Chan exclaims, staring at Mia’s mum.

    “And why do you think so.” I asked boredly, also staring at my captive. She’s unconscious, I had to make her unconscious, cause when she woke up in my house, tied to a chair, she struggled really hard against the rope, and also kept on shouting really loudly, at me. And since I hate been shout at, I had to make her unconscious.

    “Are you really saying that, Xander. Since when did you start kidnapping ladies mothers, all because you want to f!ck them. Whenever you are horny Xavnder, you go to the club and get a girl, you don’t kidnap their mama’s.” He uttered, staring at me in surprise.

    “Well… This particular girl, will not let me have her, unless I take this extreme measures, and i really do want her under me okay. This is like the only I can think of, since I saw her in that bar fight, looking as sexy as hell.

    “Are you sure this only just a sexual feeling, are you sure you are not falling in love with this girl.” He asks, staring at me pointedly, raising his eyebrow in a questioning look.

    “I’m an assassin, Chan. And we assassin, do not fall in love, we don’t even feel any emotion. I just want to have her, and that’s all.” I defend myself, my voice cold. 

    “Hmm, why don’t I…. Your watch is beeping Xander, someone is trying to hack into your system.” Chan informed, not completing his earlier sentence. I looked at my watch, and he is right, someone is trying to hack into my system. 

    I brought out my phone from my back pocket, I logged into to my camera house system, to see who is the person trying to get into my house, and it was no other person but Mia. “Well, the lady if the hour is here.” I smirked really hard.

    “Aren’t you going to block her from trying to hack into your system.” Chan asked concerned.

    “Nope, why should I. She won’t even be able to hack into my system, it’s the best and nobody on this earth, especially that girl can hack…” I stopped in mid sentence, in seeing my phone has gone blank, she has hacked into my system.

    “What were you saying again, Xander. Cause it seems like, Miss Mia not only just hacked into your system, but she did it in less than 20 minutes, that’s really impressive and you use, about 30mins to be able to hack into hers, infact if you hadn’t send that virus to her computer, she would have been able to stop you.” Chan said grinning. “Which side are you on.” I ask him angrily.

    “Me, I’m just here to watch the show, cause there’s going  to be a lot of drama here tonight.” He smirked at me, pat me on my shoulder and then goes to sit on the only couch in the room.

          Xander’s POV

                         Mia

    I smirked seeing the stood killer run away. “It looks like that guy is gonna need a mama, he should cry to.” My mum said from behind, and I chuckled.

    “From the look on your face, it tells me that you really do enjoyed the show.” I said to her, sitting down on one a couch.

    “Of course I enjoyed it, I am so proud of you my daughter. Seeing how strong you are, I’m happy you didn’t let your father bad morals corrupt you.” My mum said smiling, her hand going under my chin. I smiled back at her.

    “The last thing I would do mum, is to let dad way if thinking affect me, I am not like him and I will never be anything like him.” I assured my mum.

    “That feels so good to hear, well…. Aren’t you forgetting something.” She asked, I looked around the house, jogged my memory to see if there was anything I’m actually forgetting, and to he sincere I don’t think I’m forgetting anything.

    “School, you are forgetting school, Mia.” She informed me. Ughhh, I hate school. I’m a very good fighter, and I have also finished school, I’m not the little girl a lot of people think I am. I was home schooled and when I and mum ran away from my dangerous mother, this was the only way to cover our tracks. Nobody knows my true identity, in their eyes I’m a high schooler and someone who knows how to fight little karate. You see my opponent always underestimate me, and that’s why they always end up running back to their mama’s crying. 

    “Don’t you even dare give me that look young lady. I want you to go into your room, have your bath and get ready for school.” My mum instructs, looking me right in the eyes. I hate school, I hate going to school.

    I lazily got up from the couch, having a sad face on. A good fighter like me shouldn’t be subject to school, ugh.

    “Bye mum, I’m off to school and make sure you take care of yourself, and do not forget that I love you so much.” I yelled stepping out of the house, waving good bye to my mum.

    “I love you too darling, and please, try to stay away from fights.” She yelled from inside the house, and I had no reply for her, cause i know i won’t be able to keep away from fighting, if there’s a person in need of saving. I don’t know why she would always asks me to keep away from fight, when she get well knows that I’m a fighter and she’s also the one asking me never to turn away from a person that needs saving. I guess she’s trying to say those words for our neighbors to hear.

    I got on my motor cycle, and drove to school, just a friendly reminder, I hate school. I was already halfway to school when I heard someone shouting, “Help, Help, Somebody, please save me.” I stopped my bike immediately, without taking off my helmet, i hurriedly got down from my bike. 

    I walked into the alley I heard the voice coming from, when I got there a woman or should I say, a young girl was tied to a chair. I couldn’t see her face cause it was covered with her clothes. “Hey, are you alright. What happened to you, and who is responsible for this.” I questioned, already untying the rope tied around the lady.

    “And the community saviour, comes running to the rescue.” A male voice said from behind me, a gun touching the back of my head.

    I know that voice, very well, ugh. “Charles take that fake gun off my head.” I drawled, I turned around to look at him. “How can you always tell it’s me. This time I disguised my voice to be thick and manly.” 

    “Yeah, your voice really sound muscular.” I replied him, my voice lazed with sarcasm. “Anyway, you can free yourself  Sylvia, I aren’t doing that for you.” I said, already walking out of alley.

    Charles must have stayed back to untie Sylvia, because they both came out of the alley together.

    “Well…. See you guys at school.” I wore my helmet, then drove off. Those two idiots, charles and Sylvia are my two best friend. Charles and Sylvia are siblings, when I was a new kid in school, those two would never let me be. I had told them thousand times back then, that I didn’t want to be friends with them but they never listen.

    I tried being rude, I ignored them,  but that wasn’t enough to get them faraway from me, and slowly, I began to like their company, and sooner they found out I’m a fighter and also the neighborhood hero.

                   Xander

    “Hahahahahahaha, wow, this is so funny. Tell me the story again.” I said laughing really hard, my hand on my stomach.

    “Xander, it’s not funny. I got beaten by a girl, and to worsen the case I ran away from her, like a scared chicken. This is the most embarrassing day of my life, and it’s not funny.” Chan said angrily, he took a huge gulp out of the wine bottle in his hand, looking really angry.

    “Come on Chan, you can’t tell me it’s not funny, cause you know it’s funny. Besides I told you to be prepared. Remember what master use to say back then, he would always say, never underestimate your opponent, even if your opponent is as small as an ant, they could be full of surprises.

    “Yeah, lecture me, lecture me Xander.” Chan rolled his eyes at me, gulping more wine down his throat. Oh geez.

    “So… Shouldn’t you be preparing to fight her again, you know you are supposed to kill her, right?.” I said.

    “I’m not fighting her.” He said simply, too simply.

    “What, but why. You were giving an assignment and you are supposed to finish that assignment.” I said shocked, he would even think of quiting, assassin’s never quit.

    “Well…. I’m quiting this one. I will be at home if you need me.” He got up from the couch, and waled away, I watched him leave my house. Wow, It looks like that girl really gave him a good kick. Things just get interesting.

    All day long i couldn’t think of anything else but that beautiful sexy fighter in the bar. I can still remember the way she fought flawlessly, her moves where unlike any type of move i have ever seen. How could a mere lady fight three men, how could a lady fight so well and good. How could a mere lady, heat up Chan that he is so scared to fight her again. I have heard of ladies fighting, I have heard of assassin’s that are ladies, but I never thought I will find one that’s so skillful, for her to beat up Chan, it means she’s good.

    I stared at the ceiling, my hands folded below my chest, my mind refusing to think of anyone else but her. I have never felt like this before, I don’t even know what this feeling is!

    I got up from the bed, paced around the room repeatedly then i finally made up my mind, I’m going to see this girl myself, I need to see how really good she is. I’m going to fight her.

    MORENIKEJI.

    Morenikeji-Episode 11

    Written By Amah’s Heart. 

    I stirred the food continuesly but it was not turning out the way I was taught.

    Something must be missing out.

    I have added all the required ingredients but still it was still very watery and light.

    What I’m I really missing out?

    I have watched Stella prepare it more than twice.

    Ijeoma handed the cooking over to me today.

    She said I have to be the one to make lunch for the entire house.

    Stella endorsed it and I smile so well when I saw what was on the food menu.

    This afternoon is going to be the best because I’m fully in charge.

    “Don’t cook rubbish o… this one you are acting like you knows how to cook. Madam and her husband will be having lunch, their son inclusive…. that’s the boss himself. Stella won’t be able to remedy it if you cook rubbish. You have been here for more than four months, you supposed to know how to cook perfectly. I’m only warning you ahead of time so that you don’t disgrace yourself and your entire village people today.

    Ijeoma said to me that afternoon.

    “You worry about me too much. I guess is time to start focusing on yourself more. You are afraid of me cooking rubbish…not to worry, even madam and her entire household will be pleased. You will hear of all the good that they will say about me. Just watch and see Ijeoma.

    She clapped her hand together in mocking way but I didn’t pay attention to her.

    After she left I began my cooking with so much assurance on myself.

    I felt good because I know I was not going to mess up.

    I was certain at first that my food will turn out delicious and Ijeoma will bury her head in shame

    Not untill I realized instead of turning out fine the soup was very watery and not good to look at.

    I can’t run my mouth at Ijeoma and still mess up.

    She will ridicule me before dragging me to the mud.

    I tasted it again, trying to figure out what was missing but I still can’t tell.

    “No… this isn’t happening. I can’t mess up this food. everyone is looking out for lunch…I can’t give story and end up disgracing myself….

    I muttered within myself as I continued pacing up and down.

    Why is the food still watery… Why is it tasting like this? Why… why…

    Questions flooded my head that I can’t answer.

    I was in a state of dilemma.

    Is almost time for lunch and I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I was cooking.

    I’m in a serious deep trouble. I may even get suspended or sacked if my employers finds out that a simple local delicacy as oha soup I can’t prepare it.

    Oha soup maybe simple but is one of the most difficult food to prepare.

    Ijeoma does it well and it tastes great.

    Stella knows how to prepare everything.

    I thought making it won’t be an issue because I have seen how it’s been done severally.

    Is one of the delicacy that Mrs Kanu enjoys with her husband.

    I can’t possibly make a mistake. No, I can’t.

    I tip toed to the door to check if I can get any sort of help before Ijeoma will comes into the kitchen but I got none.

    I left my phone at my quarters, I could have used it to search the internet maybe I will get the soup right.

    Now, I’m left with nothing except a pot of watery disaster.

    I said a prayer to God for help but I wasn’t even concentrating on it. My mind was distracted but I just needed to do something quick before it becomes late.

    Not this time that Phil was begining to show likeness in me. he was moving close unlike before. I can’t come and mess up now and make him dislike me.

    “Oh God help me…. I’m in serious deep shit…

    The water has refused to dry, even if is a little. probably it will thicken that way but

    No matter what I do there was no improvement.

    “Hey Keji…

    A voice startled me from behind. I quickly turned and it was Phil coming into the kitchen and walking up to me.

    I quickly flashed him a smile before covering the cooking pot and standing in front of it so that he won’t see the disaster that I was making.

    “… you are in charge of lunch today? That’s great. What are you making…

    He said still moving close. I stood overshadowing the cooking pot.

    “Mmm! Oha soup…

    “Oh, interesting. Are you almost done or you need help…

    “Yes, almost through… with the soup…

    I said shakily

    He smiled as he came to stand beside me. His warm skin touched mine unknowingly and sent shiver down my spine

    “Can I have a taste… please?

    He sounded like a child begging for a biscuit with a very cute smile on his face.

    How can I even give him a taste of the rubbish I’m cooking?

    How do I even come out of this?

    Even after putting all the ingredients, it was still looking like a river scattered with oha leaves, stock fish, meat and other things each in a different part of the boiling pot.

    “…Is there a problem? Or you don’t want me to be the first to taste the food…

    He said again and chuckled.

    “Uhmmm! Phil I want you to be the first to taste my cooking but I haven’t added all the ingredients yet…I need to add more seasoning cubes and salt… also crayfish too…

    That’s the only lie I could come up with. I wish he can be gone already.

    “Okay…no problem Keji. Open the pot let me see the face of the soup. How it looks will determine how it will taste…

    I thought of a lie but it wasn’t fort coming. I need to do something so that he can leave the kitchen and allow me strategies on what exactly to do.

    I opened my mouth but shut it again.

    “…Is there a problem?

    he asked concerned.

    I admitted with a nod.

    His face changed into a frown. I felt at that moment that I can trust him and he will keep my little secret within ourselves

    I don’t know what gave me such guts maybe I was just tired of lying to cover up my shit.

    I opened the pot of boiling disaster with my eyes closed and he suddenly burst out laughing.

    I looked at him and he was really trying to control his laughter.

    “…I.. I’m sorry but I.. can’t help it. I’m not laughing at your soup but at the way you closed eyes when you opened the pot…

    I wish I can laugh too but my heart was racing. His reaction was relieving but how do I remedy this.

    Philip took the spoon and stir the soup. He later dropped it before removing it from the cooker.

    “I’m really sorry Phil. I thought I got this but it turned out to be a mess. I don’t know what to do… I’m very ashamed of myself. Even if you understand but others who are waiting for lunch won’t. I’m really confused because I added all the required ingredients it still didn’t make sense. I’m sorry Philip…I really messed up today’s lunch… and I don’t know what to do…

    I continued apologizing to Philip who seems like he doesn’t mind.

    “Is fine Keji. Things like this happens sometimes…is not your fault. Is not your common tribal local delicacy that you are already used to. Growing up…I usually watch either my mom or our cook back then prepare this soup. I’m not a great chef but I know together with you this soup will turn out great.

    I nodded. But if anybody walks into the kitchen and see him cooking that may not go down well with his parents or the entire house.

    That was why we are employed as cooks.

    It was as if he understood my fear when he later said

    “…There’s nothing to be afraid of Keji. I got you covered in this one. I will tell anybody that walks in that you are teaching me how to prepare oha soup…but that’s only if the explanation is necessary…

    We started all over. I have to remove the meat and some of the stock fish that was used in my watery soup.

    I poured the remaining things away and washed off any sign that will link me to it.

    I followed every of his instructions and it was fun working with him.

    “The mistake you made in the first soup was that you added too much water and you didn’t add the soup thickener. You can either use cocoyam or the other powder ones that help in thickening soups like this. Next time don’t add too much seasoning cubes. We’re lucky to still have fresh oha leave in the fridge…

    I was just nodding to everything he was saying like an agama lizard.

    Ijeoma came into the kitchen and I was just about adding the oha leaf which was the last part of the soup preparation.

    Philip stepped away as Ijeoma entered and folded his hand in akimbo style as if he was just watching while I do the cooking.

    Ijeoma greeted him and did not hide her surprised face when she saw Philip in the kitchen.

    “Keji, can I have a taste of your cooking now before I leave…

    He said it to Ijeoma’s hearing. I know he didn’t want Ijeoma to find out that he was actually the one teaching me how to cook the meal.

    He stretched out his hand and asked me to put some in his palm and I quickly did.

    He tasted it with a nod.

    “You did so well Keji. I know how difficult our Iocal soup can be but you nailed it. Thank you for putting me through on how to prepare it. next time Ijeoma will include me in the list of cooks…

    Ijeoma started laughing so loud as if someone was stroking her armpit.

    She probably enjoyed the way Philip mentioned her name.

    …. Keji, give Ijeoma some to taste so that she can also confirm of what I said.

    I did as she also stretched her palm towards me.

    Philip looked at her and asked.

    “So…what do you think Ijeoma? Keji nailed it right…?

    “Uhmmm! Well sir…she tried. I wouldn’t say she nailed it though because I’m more of a great cook than her. to be frank it’s not so delicious, she used Yoruba style in making it instead of the normal igbo way… anyway, I’m surprised that the soup turned out good though..

    Philip washed off his hand and turned to leave.

    “In the next thirty minutes I will be on the dining room with Mom waiting…

    He massaged his two palm together, winked at me before turning to leave.

    A loud laughter from deep within erupted through my mouth as he walked away.

    “I came to inform you that is lunch time already. This simple soup took you almost three hours to prepare… well, I can see who kept you in the kitchen for so long. The boss is probably hungry and which was why he came to the kitchen. Instead of you to hurry up so that he can have lunch you decide to engage him in your boring conversation. Even though the soup is not all that delicious but atleast is manageable. Everyone will just manage it like that. My oha soup beats every other person’s… even Stella’s confirmed it. You are just a baby compared to my cooking… anyway, take plates out and start dishing out food, is almost past time. Don’t allow the boss’s praise or his close presence to gets into your head o! You are still not his type and neither from his tribe. Let me warn you before you gets your hopes up. Move out of the way let me pass….mtcheee

    eeewwee….!

    She sighed heavily as she walked pass me and still didn’t stop talking.

    I was too excited and didn’t reply her or even pay attention to her.

    That was how Philip saved my ass from being whooped.

    He just showed up that day and helped my troubled soul.

    What could i have done if he didn’t show up that day.

    We get to laugh over it after few days when he invited me to sit with him by the pool side during the weekend.

    He asked if I was seeing somebody, like in a relationship. that was the third time he was asking me that within two weeks and I still told him that I’m very very single.

    “Why…. ? I’m surprised that you are single..

    Maybe because I picture you differently Keji…

    He said while looking from my eyes to my lips.

    My heart skipped as I imagined him kissing me for the very first time.

    I’m so much into Philip that even my body language speaks loudly of it.

    Is very difficult for me to hide my feeling whenever we are close to each other.

    I guess he knows it too but seem to be acting all cool.

    He is very careful in other not to make mistake.

    Philip is an articulated kind of person.

    I replied him with a smile

    “Seeing me differently still doesn’t change the fact that I’m still single Phil. I decided not to rush into a relationship like I used to do. I want something serious with somebody my heart yawns for… a very unique man whom I always want to call mine. I’m single because I want to be not because there’s no man in town who wants me. I want something different from what I used to have…

    He smiled and decided not to ask me further questions.

    I noticed the juice jug was running out before excusing myself to refill.

    When I turned to look back at him he was looking at me and this was like the fourth time I have caught him looking at me from behind.

    I flashed him a smile and he smiled back.

    As I stepped away to get more juice in a jug my phone started ringing.

    I didn’t know until when I returned and he was holding it.

    “Kunle have been calling you…and he left a message which shows on your screen.

    My heart skipped a little because new messages usually pops up on my phone screen whenever my phone is locked.

    I poured more drink into his cup after dropping my phone back to the table without bothering to look at what Kunle sent.

    “Are you two seeing each other? I mean Kunle…

    “Mmmm! Yes…I went out with him like three times but there’s nothing serious is going on.

    He was quiet as he looked at me.

    “You hanged out in a bar? Hope you didn’t get drunk Keji? Or you visited his place…I don’t know why I’m not comfortable with the way you made hanging out with Kunle appear…but I guess my major concern is you getting drunk …and somebody taking advantage of you…

    I rubbed my two sweating palm together and said.

    “I didn’t get drunk Phil. The last time I got drunk was the evening I met you. Ever since then I have become more discipline than ever. I’m no more the arrogant, worldly Keji. I still have a little bit of every thing….crazy inclusive but my better side wins over the other part of me. I hanged out with Kunle in a bar…a very big executive bar and I also visited his place but nothing serious happened… neither did I drink out of proportion…

    I said trying to sound convincing.

    He took a sip from his juice cup before setting it down.

    “Okay. You initially made it looks like you don’t like Kunle. I was even trying to convince you about him but you appear uninterested. I really don’t know Kunle but looking at him that day he was out for fun and had that desirable looks for you but you seem like he wasn’t your kinda man. What made you to suddenly reconsider him…?

    As I opened my mouth to speak, his phone began to ring.

    He answered the call and it was his mother who wanted him to drive down to somewhere and pick up something for her.

    He stood and said we will continue our discussion next time.

    I just felt it in my guts that Philip was slipping off again from me.

    I looked at the message from Kunle.

    “Baby I have been calling. I really missed you my love. Please, try let’s see, either at my place or at the big boys joint. I miss your pretty face Keji, your smile and your soft skin… Love you XOXOXO…!

    This Kunle chose to send this kind of message at a very wrong time.

    Why now that I’m with Philip who was showing interest in me already.

    Something I have waited so long for and it was finally happening Kunle just want to destroy it with his senseless message.

    I don’t know why he has refused to heed to the fact that I don’t want him.

    I hope Philip won’t take anything about Kunle personal.

    Three days later Philip still haven’t invited me to sit with him in the evening like he used to.

    I was patient and waited for a week even two weeks but nothing.

    He was hardly around and whenever he is he remains upstairs in his room.

    I was looking for opportunity to see him but none came.

    Untill one evening we were informed to make room and prepare a nice continental dish because Philip will be having visitor.

    I saw when he left that weekend to the airport to pick his visitor.

    I heard Ijeoma saying to my hearing that is his fiancee who went for her masters abroad.

    They said her name was Amara.

    Even Mrs Kanu seems happy as the visitor arrived.

    I saw the skinny tall and beautiful girl hugged Mrs Kanu so tight.

    They all seem happy even Philip was smiling.

    She put a hand to Phil’s waist, kissed his cheeks again for the second time.

    I guess she whispered how much she has missed him to his ear.

    Two of the house staffs came to carry her luggage inside.

    I gasped out in defeat. There was nothing left for me to do.

    Philip and his woman are back and I guess their next agenda will be wedding.

    At work the following day, Stella noticed my sad demeanor and asked if I was alright.

    Ijeoma without waiting for me to reply said.

    “She thought the boss will fall for her charms but his God is alive. his wife to be, our very own daughter of the soil and beauty to behold is back with a master degree. She even speaks like a foreigner and the boss can’t take his eyes away from her. Unfortunately, our very own sister ofe mmanu here can’t take the heart break…. hahahaha. She thought is by making oha soup or other of her concortion… or looking beautiful, she didn’t know there more to a man’s heart. Keji is suffering from heart breakage. Stella she will be alright…

    Stella didn’t pay attention to what Ijeoma was saying.

    She walked up to me and asked if I was alright and I told her that I’m very fine.

    I even smiled to prove it but deep within Ijeoma was right.

    Even though her English sound stupid but I’m seriously suffering from heart “breakage”

    I’m just trying to be fine and move on.

    I will still not consider Kunle even though I needed distraction right now.

    Is probably because of the call and message Phil saw made him kept me at a distance.

    I told him the truth without mincing word.

    I really don’t know how to deal with Philip and his woman who suddenly appear when Philip was giving me a green light.

    The worst was when Ijeoma asked me after two days to take drink to Philip and his Amara by the pool side where they were swimming together.

    Written By Amah’s Heart. 

    I stirred the food continuesly but it was not turning out the way I was taught.

    Something must be missing out.

    I have added all the required ingredients but still it was still very watery and light.

    What I’m I really missing out?

    I have watched Stella prepare it more than twice.

    Ijeoma handed the cooking over to me today.

    She said I have to be the one to make lunch for the entire house.

    Stella endorsed it and I smile so well when I saw what was on the food menu.

    This afternoon is going to be the best because I’m fully in charge.

    “Don’t cook rubbish o… this one you are acting like you knows how to cook. Madam and her husband will be having lunch, their son inclusive…. that’s the boss himself. Stella won’t be able to remedy it if you cook rubbish. You have been here for more than four months, you supposed to know how to cook perfectly. I’m only warning you ahead of time so that you don’t disgrace yourself and your entire village people today.

    Ijeoma said to me that afternoon.

    “You worry about me too much. I guess is time to start focusing on yourself more. You are afraid of me cooking rubbish…not to worry, even madam and her entire household will be pleased. You will hear of all the good that they will say about me. Just watch and see Ijeoma.

    She clapped her hand together in mocking way but I didn’t pay attention to her.

    After she left I began my cooking with so much assurance on myself.

    I felt good because I know I was not going to mess up.

    I was certain at first that my food will turn out delicious and Ijeoma will bury her head in shame

    Not untill I realized instead of turning out fine the soup was very watery and not good to look at.

    I can’t run my mouth at Ijeoma and still mess up.

    She will ridicule me before dragging me to the mud.

    I tasted it again, trying to figure out what was missing but I still can’t tell.

    “No… this isn’t happening. I can’t mess up this food. everyone is looking out for lunch…I can’t give story and end up disgracing myself….

    I muttered within myself as I continued pacing up and down.

    Why is the food still watery… Why is it tasting like this? Why… why…

    Questions flooded my head that I can’t answer.

    I was in a state of dilemma.

    Is almost time for lunch and I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I was cooking.

    I’m in a serious deep trouble. I may even get suspended or sacked if my employers finds out that a simple local delicacy as oha soup I can’t prepare it.

    Oha soup maybe simple but is one of the most difficult food to prepare.

    Ijeoma does it well and it tastes great.

    Stella knows how to prepare everything.

    I thought making it won’t be an issue because I have seen how it’s been done severally.

    Is one of the delicacy that Mrs Kanu enjoys with her husband.

    I can’t possibly make a mistake. No, I can’t.

    I tip toed to the door to check if I can get any sort of help before Ijeoma will comes into the kitchen but I got none.

    I left my phone at my quarters, I could have used it to search the internet maybe I will get the soup right.

    Now, I’m left with nothing except a pot of watery disaster.

    I said a prayer to God for help but I wasn’t even concentrating on it. My mind was distracted but I just needed to do something quick before it becomes late.

    Not this time that Phil was begining to show likeness in me. he was moving close unlike before. I can’t come and mess up now and make him dislike me.

    “Oh God help me…. I’m in serious deep shit…

    The water has refused to dry, even if is a little. probably it will thicken that way but

    No matter what I do there was no improvement.

    “Hey Keji…

    A voice startled me from behind. I quickly turned and it was Phil coming into the kitchen and walking up to me.

    I quickly flashed him a smile before covering the cooking pot and standing in front of it so that he won’t see the disaster that I was making.

    “… you are in charge of lunch today? That’s great. What are you making…

    He said still moving close. I stood overshadowing the cooking pot.

    “Mmm! Oha soup…

    “Oh, interesting. Are you almost done or you need help…

    “Yes, almost through… with the soup…

    I said shakily

    He smiled as he came to stand beside me. His warm skin touched mine unknowingly and sent shiver down my spine

    “Can I have a taste… please?

    He sounded like a child begging for a biscuit with a very cute smile on his face.

    How can I even give him a taste of the rubbish I’m cooking?

    How do I even come out of this?

    Even after putting all the ingredients, it was still looking like a river scattered with oha leaves, stock fish, meat and other things each in a different part of the boiling pot.

    “…Is there a problem? Or you don’t want me to be the first to taste the food…

    He said again and chuckled.

    “Uhmmm! Phil I want you to be the first to taste my cooking but I haven’t added all the ingredients yet…I need to add more seasoning cubes and salt… also crayfish too…

    That’s the only lie I could come up with. I wish he can be gone already.

    “Okay…no problem Keji. Open the pot let me see the face of the soup. How it looks will determine how it will taste…

    I thought of a lie but it wasn’t fort coming. I need to do something so that he can leave the kitchen and allow me strategies on what exactly to do.

    I opened my mouth but shut it again.

    “…Is there a problem?

    he asked concerned.

    I admitted with a nod.

    His face changed into a frown. I felt at that moment that I can trust him and he will keep my little secret within ourselves

    I don’t know what gave me such guts maybe I was just tired of lying to cover up my shit.

    I opened the pot of boiling disaster with my eyes closed and he suddenly burst out laughing.

    I looked at him and he was really trying to control his laughter.

    “…I.. I’m sorry but I.. can’t help it. I’m not laughing at your soup but at the way you closed eyes when you opened the pot…

    I wish I can laugh too but my heart was racing. His reaction was relieving but how do I remedy this.

    Philip took the spoon and stir the soup. He later dropped it before removing it from the cooker.

    “I’m really sorry Phil. I thought I got this but it turned out to be a mess. I don’t know what to do… I’m very ashamed of myself.

    Ijeoma greeted him and did not hide her surprised face when she saw Philip in the kitchen.

    I just felt it in my guts that Philip was slipping off again from me.

    I looked at the message from Kunle.

    “Baby I have been calling. I really missed you my love. Please, try let’s see, either at my place or at the big boys joint. I miss your pretty face Keji, your smile and your soft skin… Love you XOXOXO…!

    This Kunle chose to send this kind of message at a very wrong time.

    Why now that I’m with Philip who was showing interest in me already.

    Something I have waited so long for and it was finally happening Kunle just want to destroy it with his senseless message.

    I don’t know why he has refused to heed to the fact that I don’t want him.

    I hope Philip won’t take anything about Kunle personal.

    Three days later Philip still haven’t invited me to sit with him in the evening like he used to.

    I was patient and waited for a week even two weeks but nothing.

    He was hardly around and whenever he is he remains upstairs in his room.

    I was looking for opportunity to see him but none came.

    Untill one evening we were informed to make room and prepare a nice continental dish because Philip will be having visitor.

    I saw when he left that weekend to the airport to pick his visitor.

    I heard Ijeoma saying to my hearing that is his fiancee who went for her masters abroad.

    They said her name was Amara.

    Even Mrs Kanu seems happy as the visitor arrived.

    I saw the skinny tall and beautiful girl hugged Mrs Kanu so tight.

    They all seem happy even Philip was smiling.

    She put a hand to Phil’s waist, kissed his cheeks again for the second time.

    I guess she whispered how much she has missed him to his ear.

    Two of the house staffs came to carry her luggage inside.

    I gasped out in defeat. There was nothing left for me to do.

    Philip and his woman are back and I guess their next agenda will be wedding.

    At work the following day, Stella noticed my sad demeanor and asked if I was alright.

    Ijeoma without waiting for me to reply said.

    “She thought the boss will fall for her charms but his God is alive. his wife to be, our very own daughter of the soil and beauty to behold is back with a master degree. She even speaks like a foreigner and the boss can’t take his eyes away from her. Unfortunately, our very own sister ofe mmanu here can’t take the heart break…. hahahaha. She thought is by making oha soup or other of her concortion… or looking beautiful, she didn’t know there more to a man’s heart. Keji is suffering from heart breakage. Stella she will be alright…

    Stella didn’t pay attention to what Ijeoma was saying.

    She walked up to me and asked if I was alright and I told her that I’m very fine.

    I even smiled to prove it but deep within Ijeoma was right.

    Even though her English sound stupid but I’m seriously suffering from heart “breakage”

    I’m just trying to be fine and move on.

    I will still not consider Kunle even though I needed distraction right now.

    Is probably because of the call and message Phil saw made him kept me at a distance.

    I told him the truth without mincing word.

    I really don’t know how to deal with Philip and his woman who suddenly appear when Philip was giving me a green light.

    The worst was when Ijeoma asked me after two days to take drink to Philip and his Amara by the pool side where they were swimming together.

    I didn’t know when I placed a soft kiss on Kathleen’s lips and backed away immediately.

    She giggled. “It’s okay!” she smiled.

    “Even If you don’t like me the way I do. At least you’re here, at least your company is enough” Kathleen smiled.

    Is she supposed to a siren or an angel?

     We both remained quiet and Kathleen suddenly stood up.

    “But, sir, Joseph don’t you think you should make use of this rooms upstairs? I mean it’s beautiful and spacious enough for anyone to live in.” Kathleen smiled.

    “Well yes I know that, but we’ve occupied downstairs and there’s no need for us to occupy any one up here. I wanted to have tenants but I realized I wanted peace too, but it’s best being empty like this” I expound.

    “I like it up here, you can see outside and the lake from up here with a clear view”. Kathleen smiled shimmering under the rays of sunlight that crawled into the room through the open glass from the window. 

    “Yes that’s why I chose to have my house here, I really love this view and the lake to be precise.” I said standing up with Mary in my arms.

     I walked up to Kathleen and stood beside her watching the lake.

    “Sir, Joseph, do you know that all waters are connected, the oceans, rivers and this lake are connected.?” she asked all cheerfully and I nodded.

    “I do, it might look like it’s not connected cause it has a certain where it obtained some land but underneath, the water still connects.” I explained and she gasped.

    “How did you know that sir, Joseph?”

    I laughed. “I went to school!”.

    “School, oh yeah” she laughed.

    “And I guess you know that because of… What you are.” I said and praised myself for not making any expression that would made her sad.

    “Yes, because of what I am.” she repeated lowly. “And now, water is the least place I’m supposed to be, because they’re all connected, they’ll find me no matter where I dive in.”

    “They’ll find you? Who?” I asked.

    She sighed. “It’s long story, but soon I’ll tell you about it sir, Joseph” she quickly wore a smile.

    Kathleen leaned on my shoulder and let’s out a sigh and immediately and “Ouch”.

    Mary was pulling her hair.

     Kathleen straightened her head and laughed.

    “You can’t be selfish Mary, you can’t just have sir, Joseph all to yourself.” she teased.

    I tried to stop myself from smiling. “Correction, Mary knows me as daddy, not, sir, Joseph” I stated and she smiled and took Mary from me.

    “Anyways Sir, Joseph don’t you think we should make this room something, out of all the rooms up here, this one’s my favorite.” Kathleen grinned.

    “Okay, should I make it a play house for Mary? Mary isn’t really old enough for play house, so she’s fine in her crib with her stuffed toys.” i stated. 

    “Okay what about a bedroom.” Kathleen blurted out. 

    I scoffed “We all bedrooms kath” 

    “What about another kitchen?” Kathleen stated. 

    I laughed. “Not possible, one is enough, your ideas your not good enough.” 

    “Okay how about, we have breakfast here.” Kathleen poured out another lame idea about the empty room. 

    “Or we could follow my opinion and make this room a resting zone” I suggested. 

    “A resting zone?” she looked at me Confused. 

    “Yeah, like if you’re tired or stressed out and you don’t feel like sleeping in your bedroom, you can come here and rest all you want, you can enjoy the sun from the huge window here, or enjoy the night breeze” I expound.

    “That is a great idea.” Kathleen Beamed. “But it’s a resting zone, it won’t be empty will it?” she asked. And I shook my head Negatively.

    “I have like more furnitures in the attic maybe I’ll just move some of them here later.” I said and she smiled.

     We both remained quiet again and just watched the view right in front of us. 

     “Sir, Joseph” Kathleen called. 

    “hmm?” I turned to her. 

    She smiled. “Nothing, just like the sound of your name.”

    “Well my name isn’t exactly sir, Joseph, its just Jospeh!” I stated. 

    “Oh sorry then, sir, just Jospeh” she smiled and I laughed and gave a small eye roll.

    If this isn’t happiness, then what is. 

    +

    “You can’t add bread and ketchup and eat them like it’s a normal thing to do.” I half yelled at Kathleen over lunch. 

    “But it’s really nice, it tastes so good” she smiled. 

    “to you it does, if anyone could walk in here and see you, they would tell you his poor your food combination is and thank God I’m done eating or else I would have lost my appetite” I said standing up with sleeping Mary in my arms. 

    “Where are you going sir, Joseph?” she asked as I started to walk away. 

    “To put Mary down.” I replied. 

    “And after that?” she asked again

    “Nothing” I grunt and walked into my room. 

    I let Mary stay in her crib this time and walked out of my room. 

     I found out where we had eaten lunch had been cleared and no sign of Kathleen. 

    Kathleen suddenly walked out of the kitchen and seeing me she smiled.

    “Sir, Joseph since you have nothing to do, why don’t we move some furnitures like you said to the empty room upstairs.” Kathleen grinned. 

    “But you just ate, you should be resting instead of trying to move things.” I told her. 

    “How can I rest when we haven’t even set our resting room” she blurted

    I scoffed. “You have the couch where you can rest, and you also have your room where there’s a bed. There’s plenty of place for you to rest.”.

    “No, this is called a living room and my room is called a bedroom, and the room upstairs is called a resting room, where we rest so how do you possibly want me to rest in the living room or my room when it’s not called a resting room.”  Kathleen explained with a serious face like she’s saying something that makes so much sense. 

    “I’m not going to argue with you Kath, but sure since you feel all powerful, let’s go move some of the little stuff.” I said and she smiled happily and went straight to the stairs. 

    She’s just like a child. 

    –

     Two hours later and the empty room had a mattress on its cold floor,  a long comfortable sofa was beside the window and an almost flat bed was placed at the corner of the room, Kathleen suggested we leave that there for “Mary”. 

     

    “Now it feels warm.” Kathleen said admiring to not so empty room again. 

    “Yeah, now are you satisfied?” I asked and she nodded. 

     “Just so you know, this is a place for resting, you can just come here during your free time, you don’t eat here, and always make sure you go back to your room anytime you rest here during the nights.” I instructed.

    “Got it” she smiled.

     Her smile kind of got me and I didn’t know when I smiled too.

    “Sir, Joseph it’s almost late, we haven’t had dinner.” Kathleen complained

    “For two minutes can you try and not think of food?” I asked her shaking my head Negatively. 

    “I’ll try!” she smiled and walked up to me…

      She gave me a small hug and skipped out out of the room happily.

     What is she so happy about.

    I smiled and walked out too, I peeked at our so called “resting room” and smiled.

     Kathleen is such a Character.

     Mary woke up and we all had late dinner and Kathleen couldn’t stop ranting about how the night was great and cool and how will should all go to the ‘resting room’.

     Her wish came true, as I agreed and she took Mary from me and headed there before me.

     As I walked inside the room, Mary was on the floor bed chewing on a loaf of bread that had already been flooded by her saliva .

    “Did you give her that?” I smiled..

    “Yeah, she wouldn’t stop chewing my hand.” Kathleen laughed…

    “Or maybe her teeth are just itchy.”

    “Sir Jospeh.” Kathleen called and I turned to her.

    “Come, see, the view in the night from up here is wonderful.” she said and I walked up to her and sat on the sofa. Sitting on the sofa opposite the window, you could see the trees, the lake, and the skies, it was like a movie…

    “This is nice” I smiled enjoying the cool Breeze that surrounded my body.

     Kathleen sat beside me and moved her body close to mine. She rested her head on my shoulder and breathed out a sigh. “this is sure wonderful.”

    “The cool breeze right?” I smiled not minding her head on my shoulder, it’s nothing new and it’s quite comforting.

     “Not the breeze, you! Sir Joseph” she said linking her hand with, “You’re amazing.” she breathed out a happy smile. 

    My heart jingled at the words and I smiled… “Well thank you for thinking I’m an amazing person.”

     

    I looked down at Kathleen and she was smiling from ear to ear, she noticed my gaze and looked up at me. 

     She slowly raised her head up from my shoulder and her hand slid away from mine.  

     “Sir, Joseph,” she called and leaned closer to me, 

    And coincidently the moon crawled out from the thick skies and shone inside the room with it’s dim light. 

     “What is it?” I asked, calming the inner man in me cause Kathleen was so close to me. 

    “Am about to kiss you, am I permitted?” she asked her eyes never blinking or living mine. 

     And how could I say no.

    It was like we read each other’s mine cause we both went for it immediately. 

      Hungrily, we both took each other’s mouth in and I didn’t know how or when I took Kathleen under me and she was suddenly lying on the sofa.

     I was on top of her and the kiss just got really intense. Our never ending kisses.

     The feeling that ignited in me made me rough on her and she really liked cause her circled around my neck and she pulled me down to her even more.

    We didn’t stop to catch our breaths and we just went on and on, and slowly her hands suddenly starts to  linger around my shirt.

    Talma: good evening doctor.
    Doctor : good evening ma.
    Talma: you sent for me.
    Doctor : yes, are you the lady that brought the man with head and chest injuries?
    Talma: yes doctor.
    Doctor : pls do have sit ***pointing to the chair in front of his table***
    Talma: thank you sir ***she said sitting down***
    Doctor : sorry, who is this man to you?
    Talma: he’s my friend.
    Doctor : I must confess, this man is really lucky and strong. I have never seen a man survived this kind of injuries before, about 4 gun shot to the chest and a dangerous head injury yet he still manage to survive it. He’s really lucky, if not for the police statement and the ID card you tendered I won’t have treated him because I was scared he was going to die when you brought him. *WHATSAPP : +2349051471122*
    Talma: and luckily he’s still alive all thanks to you ***she said with a smile***
    Doctor : all thanks to God ma but there’s a bad news about his recovery.
    Talma: bad news! What his that doctor?
    Doctor : the head injury did some damage to his brain, I think he has a permanent amnesia which means he has lost all memories.
    Talma: oh my God! *WHATSAPP : +2349051471122*
    Doctor : calm down ma, there’s nothing God can not do. If this man can survive those numerous shots I’m sure he can survive this too. Just be doing things that will make him remember the past and shocks will help him too. Make him startle at times and I pray and hope his memory returns.
    Talma: doctor, you just said permanent amnesia and you are still saying he can get his memories back?
    Doctor : yes ma’am, it is possible.
    Talma: so, what is the chances of him getting his memory back? *WHATSAPP : +2349051471122*
    Doctor : I will say it’s 50/50 ma.
    Talma: my God!!!
    Doctor : just take it easy ma, we will watch him tonight and if his condition does not deteriorate then we’ll discharge him tomorrow morning.
    Talma: oh! OK doctor, thanks a lot.
    Doctor : hope you have made all the necessary payments?
    Talma: yes doctor, I already did.
    Doctor : OK, thanks ma’am.
