*******Panting hard, exhausted, trying hard to catch my breath as I urge Omoh to halt.âPlease, I canât go any further.â I manage to say amidst the heavy breathing as my chest threatens to burst.Bending low with my hands on my knees, exhaling through my mouth while sweat drips from every part of my body.Jogging has never been my thing; in fact, i donât think any kind of exercise has ever. Being a mom, working in between jobs and schooling is enough exercise for me to handle.Omoh is always educating me on the benefit of exercise but do I listen? Today, she made sure I join her in her morning run and it is exhausting. I might faint if keep going.âWe are almost home.â She points towards our street which seems like a forever journey from the point we are standing on.âCanât we just walk?â I say with no iota of strength left in me.âAre you tired already? There are still more to be done.â She shoots, laughing at me and at the same time, jogging ahead of me.âMore of this?â I feel my

*******I stand speechless in front Wale while my brain makes effort to suggest what I should say. In the meantime, I stare at his dimpled smile still dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, he places his right hand on my arm, moving it lightly. Feeling the chills down my spine, I quickly move back, putting a fine distance between us.He smiles widely, aware of reason for resisting his touch âAre you shy?â He inquires.âNo, Iâm sweaty.â I reply with a good enough excuse.I watch him laugh hysterically, enjoying himself. I won't lie, I like the sound of his laughter but I manage my composure and tell him plainly âI need to get out of this sweaty cloths, Iâm not comfortable in it.â I canât say for certain what Iâm not comfortable in anymore. Is it really the sweaty clothes or his piercing stare.âIâll wait.â He finally says.âYouâll wait, where?â I puff.âMy car is very comfortable.â wearing a serious face, he tells me.âIs he planning on waiting in his car? I thought he will leave, why isnât he l

******âYou are homely, thatâs one attribute I look forward to see in my woman.â Wale compliments, spreading himself comfortably on the couch.And instead of being happy, I only get more confused. âYour woman!â I repeat quite ridiculously.He sniggers âYou still havenât given me an answer to my question.â Wale says. This time, adjusting himself on the couch and facing me fully with his eyes hooded eyes locking me strongly in my position.âWhat question?â I ask, baffle. Pretending not to recall. But I remember vividly of the night in his car, in front of my house when he asked me if he was my type of man. But the question I failed to ask him was, if he wasn't my type, will he be willing to change for me?He exhales deeply âEno, I know you know what I mean. Is that why you ignore my calls?â I hear is question come out with an air of depression.âYou are getting me more confused here.â I tell him instead.âThe last time you said you are not my type of woman but then, and even now Iâm ask

*****What can make a girl happier than being with a guy she loves? Wale indeed, is the best boyfriend ever.Iâm not saying I regret my previous boyfriends, no, what Iâm saying is, they have taught me the different perception of relationships.Itâs been a month since Wale and I have been dating, heâs been so caring, loving, possessive, romantic, and Jealous even. I love the fact that he is this way, it make me feel less alone. He makes me laugh always, he hates my genre of movies, he loves singing in the shower and he respects me a lot and thatâs my best part.Unlike the previous men in my life, Wale professes his love for me at any given opportunity, he kisses me every time we see no matter the place, he calls me and show up when he says he will. He always keeps to his word.A part of me feels that heâs just being the way he is because our relationship is still fresh. I know it is wrong to compare him with the past men in my life but a part of me still cautions me to be careful, tha

******Omoh and I stayed home all afternoon watching into the badlands with a bowl of popcorn in-between us. And at the end of the seventh episode of the first season, she turns to me and says âI believe you havenât told him yet.â Reducing the volume of my T.V set.âTold him what?â I ask as if unacquainted with what sheâs talking about.âEno!â She calls out.âWhat?ââYou know he has the right to know.â She declares, with worrying look on he pretty face.âI know and I will tell him.â I tell her âI plan on telling him tonight.â âYou are going on a date with him tonight, and you are supposed to meet his sister too. When will you have the time to tell him?âOmoh is right; I may not have the time to tell him. I might be carried away, who knows. I donât know how to answer her question; I just need to ponder on how to create a right opportunity.âWhy havenât you told him before now?â She asks again.I return my gaze to Omoh âI wanted to be sure. I donât want to bring another man into my da

*******Wale Laughs suspiciously at my expression.âEno, is this you?â She asks on her feet, taking a good look at me to be sure with an identical surprise expression as mine.âYes, itâs me.â i laugh, not trying to contain my surprise.She makes her way to where I stand and hugs me warmly âI canât believe this. So you are the Eno my brother has been talking about.â She remarks, ending the hug and looking at me again âI know only one Eno which is you but I never suspected he was talking about the one I know.ââMiss Adeyemi, Iâm as stun as you are.â I say smiling.âThe title. Please, call my Tessy.â She tells me, taking my hands âCome, sit, Iâm so happy to see you.ââThanks.â I reply following her to the executive booth.It will sound weird calling Miss Adeyemi, Tessy. She and I have become closer in school and she has helped me a lot to become one of the best at school. As a nutritionist, her advice has placed me on the right track.âMeet my fiancĂŠ, Gabriel.â She introduce me to the ha

********Itâs been two weeks since I last heard from Wale, he also has been avoiding my calls. And right now, Iâm so worried about him, what a twist. First, men leave me when I tell them about my other half and when I thought concealing that information was best, I lose the love of my life.Life is good, fair, unbalanced and cruel at the same time and I just stand alone at the receiving end. Is there even an atom of love left somewhere for me?I can feel my head spinning out of control, my eyes bulging out and I look so tired.I stare at the lecturer without hearing a word of what heâs saying and the harder I stare, the more the face of the lecturer turns into the face of Wale. Iâm losing my mind.âAre you ok.â Jude's voice brings me back to class the moment the lecturer left the classroom.âYes, Iâm fine. Just having a little headache.â I say, using my left hand to rub my head. My head had start to hurt from much thinking and I feel miserable. I just need to lay on my bed and cry but

********I get down from the Taxi in front of Wale's gate then, I pay the driver before he drives off. I stand a while facing the large, black gate while trying to rehearse what to say when i go in and see him.âUhm, uhm,â I clear my throat âYour sister is worried about you so she ask me to check on you to see how you are doing.â No, it doesnât sound right, why should I be the one Tessy sends.I try another one âBaby, Iâm sorry, I shouldnât have held back that kind of important part of my life from you.â Thatâs if I get the opportunity to speak.âHoney, you can hate me all you want but I will not leave here until you forgive me or at least hear me out.â How pitiful. He can as well call the police on my ass and they will just bundle me out.âUh,â I sigh âDarling remember the fun time we had, remember you said you donât care what circumstances have to offer, as far as you have me.â Ah, Iâm so desperate.âCalling him all the sweet pet name in the worldâs list doesnât guarantee me earning
