Anita frowned as she knew Patrick didn't want to sleep with her without protection, and Anita really wanted to get pregnant for Patrick, so she became annoyed."Why babe?. There's no need for that. I want you to make love to me like that, without the cond*m." Anita spoke, but Patrick refused."No," Patrick said, and Anita got embarrassed as she saw Patrick putting on his trousers back.Anita drew closer to Patrick to touch him again, as she was still n*ked, but Patrick still didn't want to."What's wrong, babe?. Don't you love me enough to make love to me without protection?. Ain't I not pretty enough for you?." Anita asked sadly, and Patrick sighed and replied, "No. It is not like that, babe. Look, there's nothing wrong with us doing it without protection, just that I preferred it that way since we aren't yet married.""Hmm." Anita frowned."Then let's get married," Anita told Patrick, but Patrick didn't say anything as he walked away to his stairs, going upstairs to his room.How wou
"Not about that. There's a girl I'm in love with and hoping to see soon someday," Patrick said, and Chris stared at Patrick in shock, writing it all over his face."You can't be serious, bro; why not tell Anita the truth all these while?" Chris asked, and Patrick shook his head at hearing Chris."No. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I thought we wouldn't last long together. I am just confused, as she has refused to break up with me. I like Anita, but I can't just stop thinking about Tina.""Tina. Who is Tina?" Chris questioned, and Patrick sighed. Not wanting to talk about Tina, Chris wouldn't take no for an answer, so he pressed on and asked again. "Guy, who is Tina?. Where does she live, and why haven't I seen her or heard of her yet either? Where's she?."Patrick was quiet, and Chris probed further."Guy, I am not leaving here until you tell me who Tina is?. I'm already waiting for your wedding bells with Anita, and now you're coming up with this excuse: If it is play, stop it."Chris b
Patrick raised his head and stared at Chris with fretting eyes."I don't think her mother would lie to me either. She said her daughter traveled to her elder sister's place; that's why Tina's not around.""Hmm, Okay. What does she look like?. Does she look like those wayward ladies? I mean, like your sister type, Sharon, for example?" Chris asked, wanting to know more about Tina, but Patrick's eyes narrowed at him."No, it was her first time, and I was her first," Patrick replied, and Chris gasped, "What!?""You mean you took her pride! How could you, Patrick?" Chris stared at Patrick in disbelief."I can't believe you are this kind of person, Patrick. What if she comm? tted su! "It's obvious the lady didn't love you then, and you were the one, literally admiring her, and yet you did such to her, wow!" Chris shouted, and Patrick couldn't say anything next. He took his wine bottle beside him, held it up to his lips, and drank from the bottle directly while staring at the ceiling fan rot
The last time Chika visited her was to see Godsent. Chika bought seductive clothes for her and told her, "Not because you already have a child out of wedlock, you should be dressing local. You should rather dress hot and look after yourself."Tina had refused Chika's advice, but Chika went on to purchase beautiful dresses for her from the city and even asked her to try them on, which Tina did and was speechless as she looked so hot in the dresses that she thought of what people would say. When they saw her dressing hot, Chika had told her whatever people had to say was their business and didn't concern her, and besides, they already knew she has a son.Tina had thanked Chika then for the clothes and escorted Chika off. Now the young man standing in front of her was asking her for her mobile number again."Are you sure you're not lying to me? Or you don't want to give me your number?" Chris asked, and Tina smiled at him and replied, "Of course not. I don't have any phones.""Okay." Chri
While Patrick got out of his bathroom, he came out to his room and was shocked to see Anita in his room and on his bed, smiling at him as she stared at him seductively.Patrick gulped and was lucky he had tied his towel around his waist, as he mostly stepped out of his bathroom bare, without any towel on him, but luckily, he tied his towel after drying up his wet body in the bathroom.Patrick was angry; he was thinking too much these days about what he truly wanted, and Anita, too, on the other hand, wasn't even giving him any space to think properly, as she was all over him wanting him to propose to her.Patrick respected his relationship with Mr. Bright; if not, he could've sent Anita away since the initial stages of their relationship. But now Anita has succeeded in painting the whole media about them, and at some point he was beginning to forget about Tina too.Patrick frowned and asked her, "What're you doing in here?."Anita stared at Patrick sweetly and smiled, replying, "Nothin
Mama Tina was through cooking. She remembered the phone the handsome young man who had visited her at the market had given her to give to Tina. She tried remembering the young man's name, but she forgot if she even asked him for his name.Coming out to meet Tina seated on the bench, Mama-Tina brought out the phone and gave it to Tina as it was a brand new Android phone, and Tina was surprised at first as she collected the package of nylon from her mother and asked, "What's in it, mom?.""It was a mobile phone gift from a young man at the market today. He told me to give it to you. You remember that young man who was asking me the other day, "Am I truly your mother that is now talking to you?" Mama-Tina asked, and Tina replied, "Yes, mom, I remembered him, Chris. So he truly bought this phone. I thought he was joking.""Well, he's not. I collected his number from him on my phone. For you to call and thank him very well. Where's my phone self?" Mama- Tina stood up and started searching f
Mrs. Bright stared at Anita in pity, and Anita replied, "Nothing, mom, I'm just a little sad.""Don't give me that as an excuse. What happened, or do you want me to ask your father to reprimand and ground you in this house?. Now tell me the truth: why are you crying?."Mrs. Bright was a no-nonsense woman, and she didn't have the time to pamper her children much like her husband did. She was mean and didn't waste time disciplining anyone who messed up with her, be it her children. That sometimes made Anita and her siblings wonder if she was truly their mother or stepmom. But nonetheless, Mrs. Bright could be sweet sometimes."What's the problem?. Did you fight with anyone? Tell me the truth?. You know I don't like to be kept waiting?" Mrs. Bright questioned, and Anita answered, "Is nothing serious, mom?""Nothing serious, and you are looking this red?. Did you stare at your face in the mirror at all?. Anyway, if you don't want to tell me, you can as well stand up and dress up quickly. A
Tina acknowledged Chris's invitation to his sister's wedding, and she bought a new beautiful short knee-length gown as she hadn't yet mastered how to sew properly.Tina was still learning and couldn't yet style a gown, so she bought an already-made cloth since it was cheaper, and she went to the wedding, a traditional marriage ceremony, and she was 20 years old or older.Though Tina had given birth to Godsent, she looked more mature and bigger, like one in 25 years of age or older, and she became the center of attention as she stepped into the venue.Tina was with Chris, but a lot of guys still looked for opportunities to woo her, and Chris's sister, who was the bride and celebrant, became jealous when she saw her husband also staring in her brother's direction, and she noticed it was probably the yellow lady that was with her brother that stole her husband's attention too.Chris sister wondered where her brother got such white beauty from because she hadn't seen such a pretty white la
