We were alone in the classroom. I was alone with him and I had nowhere to run to or escape. He was standing in front of me, his face carrying a fond look as he looked at my form like he had been starving from it. His eyes roamed all over me and I felt the heat follow through as his eyes landed over my lips, taking a little time before looking finally at my eyes.
I was speechless, standing immobile at the edge of the table with a thundering heart. He was a distant from me as he stared at me with intense eyes.

I replied all to my mum as I dragged my traveling box behind me, the box making tumbling and racking sound.Phew.It had been six years. Six years ago, I had left everything behind, going and moving on for a new change which I had found.I had traveled to New York City, to study more on children and I had ended up become a child therapist. It had been a painful pathway with my mum but yeah, I had done it.The family members that had been threatening for child custody were all refused immensely after being taken to the court of law.

TemiThe tick tok of the alarm clock next to my bed reminded me of the brief time to round up the revisions I've been doing ever since I came back from prep hall yesterday.The past days had been excruciating because of the test we started three days ago and the whole school has been tense ever since.

TunjiMy plan is failing. This wasn't supposed to happen. She doesn't even really talk to me. I was supposed to get closer to her. My queen. My heart everything. She wouldn't know what she has done but she has taken my heart with her. And she doesnt know it.I watched Temiloluwa
Darkness, suffocation consumed me as I crawled back into my mind cooped cage.The darkness, customized for only me. Custody?They must be insane to dare take me into their custody. Where were they when my mother had to take care of me?
