"Good morning ma".
" Good morning,how was your night?" Ada ignored the question and Lillian asked again,Ada replied with a "it was fine" before she told Lillian what was inside the envelope.
"That is my poem,it is very short but it links to something, some weird feelings I get. I AM sorry for yesterday." She stressed the am and said the apology as if someone had threatened to kill her if she didn't. Her mock politeness was very obvious.

JOURNEY TO ARTJULIET IVIE Finally, a day that I'll finally get to leave my house. I told my dad and he gave me the go ahead,he didn't ask where to,he just gave me his permission. I wonder if he would allow his other daughter leave his house just like that without asking where her trip was and what it was all about. My Mom listened to music in the morning, early in the morning she woke up and played music. To me she was celebrating my departure, I wanted to tell her that it was just a two days trip.

NO HARM Full house
FULL HOUSE Mr Kayode was outside, he sat on a chair,a supposed rocking chair but it stopped rocking a long time ago. "Good evening sir" Lillian greeted him with her knees bended almost touching the ground "Ah,young madam" That never gets old,right from the first day he saw her,the day that Mark humbly introduced her as his girlfriend to him,he insisted on calling her "young madam even though she asked him to call her by her name. " where are your students? " He asked holding onto his old cap,an old fashioned face cap. Since Lillian knew Mr kayode,whenever he was alone,he always held his cap close to himself.

THE STORM INSIDEOn entering the bus Tamara pleaded with Ada to get a sit somewhere else. She had prepared the sit next to her for Emmanuel. Ada knew Emmanuel didn't have any feelings for her(quite obvious though),so she warned her against embarrassing herself. The only vacant seat was the one next to Jay. Daniel had forgotten his belt in the guesthouse so he went back to get it. When he returned, he saw Ada sitting next to Jay, he was so annoyed because he wasn't expected a change in the sitting arrangement. He was practically shooting daggers at Ada but Ada returned the gaze right back at him. Though Ada wasn't really excited about the trip, she didn't feel good going back home. Seeing her brother was something she wasn't ready for because of the feelings she had for him. Well, since she was sitting closed to Jay and Jay could hear her thoughts, he kept staring at her making her hyper uncomfortable. If only she knew he could hear her thoug

CORNROWS AND COLOGNESLILLIAN My hair was rough, I had carried my cornrows for three weeks,my hair smelt bad. It reminded me of the old days,days when I visited Jemima and sat on a stool for her to lose the weaving, she would complain that the attachment was too long. I remember how she would start the conversation. "Lillian,why don't you stop all these unnecessary things you add to your hair, relaxer kills hair" I would laugh and she would adjust my head before I replied. "Abeg,I cannot handle natural hair,it is too thick and difficult to comb" Jemima would laugh and her voice would echo.

"Then get out of my office" Lillian gave Ada a long look and focused her gaze on her. "Just because Tamara told you about my situation doesn't mean I will come to your office and hear your blurts" "I asked you to get out of my office since you didn't want to sit down.
