Ama.
A knock on my door had me wiping my face profusely "Sis?" My brother said and opened the door.
I sniffled "thank God you're here. Please pack your things. We are leaving this evening. I have already booked our flight." I said while dumping my things into my box.
"Sis you need to slow down. What exactly is the problem. Chike is nice. At least he's been nice to us. I didn't realize you knew him." My brother said and came closer.
"Pack your things Ikem." I said without looking at him.
"Are you crying?" He said and I heard his footsteps coming closer.
"Sis" he said and put his hand across my shoulder.
"Who is that guy really?" My brother asked.
"He's nobody.. just pack your things" I said and sniffled.
"Sis, don't hide it from me." He said and I broke down. He pulled me to hi
Previously...Femi"See you tonight brother" he said after me and I grunted. He was a fool if he thought I would fall for that rubbish.I went to my office and almost punched the wall in anger. Kola was becoming overbearing and I was getting tired of it."He's going to get it from me soon" I muttered.Darkness rolled around very quickly as I dreadfully anticipated the arrival of Kola and the girl he wanted me to fuck. I sat in my living room watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix when my elevator made a sound signaling an arrival.Of course it was Kola and a light skin girl that looked almost identical to Ama. What sorcery was this.I stood up and turned to face them. The girl was wearing a trench coat and I knew exactly what was underneath."Hello Femi, meet Jane or should I say, Ama 2.0" he said and I felt like punchi
Previously...Ama."You that would easily look like my husband or elder brother." I said and picked my phone. No missed calls or messages from Femi today. It had been dead silent on his end since the day he saved me from my crazy ex. It was what I wanted but now I felt some type of way by the silence."It's suffer-head that cause it" my brother responded to me but I was too engrossed in checking all my messages. The door bell rang immediately he spoke and given that Radike was off at God knew where, I had to answer the door."I'll get it." I said and went to answer the door.I heard my brother following behind me and I groaned. What a pest.My mistake when I got to the door was not checking who it was before answering. I opened the door to see Femi leaning against the wall. He looked tired and beaten up. My heart started racing at the sight of him. He still l
Previously…Ama."Yes! My younger brother actually you big baby" I said and he laughed and leaned on his car."Don't call me that. And wow, he looks older than you." He exclaimed."Yeah I get that a lot" I said and looked at his face. He looked a lot better and calmer now than before. He really was pressed."My God the way you were pressed." I said and laughed. It was quite amusing.He chuckled "Yeah, drag me"I waved my palm "no I'm sorry."He looked at me from the side of his face smiling. His gaze lingered and sent tingled down my spine."What?" I asked also smiling."We really don't need to be fighting all the time you know..." he said.His words struck a chord within me. He was right. All the fights and yelling and snapping was getting exhausti
Previously…Ama."So I sat him down and talked about it and the only thing he could do was to use it to blackmail me. Saying I must fuck a girl tonight before he stops sleeping with Radike. Crazy motherf*cker." My mouth was on the beach sand at his words. Kola had to be a sick twisted fellow."What the hell?" I almost whispered. Kola was really deranged at this point."I was livid. And you know the funny part, he actually brought the damn chick" Femi continued."Oh my God!! No way" I exclaimed."Apparently Kola made a way. And thats not the worst part." He said. What could be worse that that."Wait.. the only thing you would say that could be worse that that would be that you actually slept with her." I said. There was a pang in my chest while saying those words, secretly wishing that that was not the case."Go
Previously...Ama."What?" I asked turning to Femi who was on the stirring wheel.He smiled "I didn't know you could sing.""I can't. Is that what you call a voice my guy?" I said."Yeah. It's so astonishing the things you can do. You can cook, you're very brilliant and creative, you can sing and act as well." He said keeping a straight face."That's absurd because I've never acted before." I said. I didn't know what he was playing at."Oh you have. All the while you were busy acting like you didn't have a thing for me." He said smirking."Oh my God.. oh God Femi you're so exhausting" I said rolling my eyes.He chuckled "But it's true babe. You're good at sports too. She's a runner she a track star""What do you mean by that now?" I said silently dreading what would eventually
Previously…Ama.I opened my eyes to a bright light. I didn’t know how I got home or to my bed. The memories from last night started rushing back to me. Femi and I kissed. I finally accepted his advances but only to some extent. I must have slept off in his car.“Good morning sis” I heard and sharply turned to see my stupid brother sitting in a chair near the door to my room.“Marty what the hell.” I said sitting up holding my chest because of the shock I felt from his actions.“Are you okay?” He asked looking concerned.“I’m fine Marty. Don’t you every creep up on me like that again so you understand?” I warned him with a stern voice.“Yeah.” He said still looking at me like he was swallowing words.“Did you sleep here?”
Previously…Ama.“Sir, would you care to explain things further in a way I can understand?” I said. My heart was literally pounding against my rib cage and my chest was becoming tighter and tighter. This was my only source of income. I was supposed to get promoted soon. How did this all happen?“You can read your letter. Everything is in there. That is after you leave my office. And don’t worry, your brother is safe. He’s his own person so he will continue working here.” He said and finally smiled. The smile I had hoped he had given me before he gave me this news.I stood up and walked slowly out of the office clutching the letter in my hands. Once the door was shut behind me, I ripped the letter open and started reading.Dear Ms UkohaHere at Kechi Industries, we are known for our clean non controversial existence in the producti
Previously...Ama."It's okay. I'll be leaving now." I said and stood up. He stood up along with me.He spread his arms wide and said "Come here" and I went in for the hug. I had said I was not going to cry in front of him but I could not hold the water works in anymore. I felt defeated. My only source of income was gone."It's okay" he said and kissed my hair affectionately as I cried. I had never received this form of affection from him before but it felt nice and wholesome.We pulled away and he sighed "I actually wish I could do something but this company structure does not allow me to meddle. But I will do this for you. I'll pay you an advance of two years. You could manage that until you can find another job. I'm so sorry about this, truly."I sighed. This was a ray of sunshine. I didn't feel that bad any
