My Crazy Family
Anne He followed me home. He said he wanted to know where I lived so he could visit often as long as he’s in my town Umende. He still didn’t ask why I left. He simply wanted to keep in touch, and maybe, have a home-cooked meal now and then. Honestly, asides from my other insecurities, I’ve always dreaded bringing people to my house. Not that I was embarrassed about my average family background, but because I had crazy people for a family. It was just my mum, elder sister, myself, and my little niece. I swear, I feel like I’m the only sane person amongst them if you minus my clumsiness, of course. I lost my dad when I was ten, in a plane crash. He was a pilot. Ever since then, it’s just been my mum, struggling and juggling two jobs to get my sister and me through school. At fourteen though, my sister and I got a job in a fast-food joint where we made little income and for three years, we saved up to get a small car and some things for momma. She spent all her hard-earned money on h

Little Demon
Anne So, we were expecting detective questions being thrown loudly at Vincent from the opposite couch. This is because Joan abhorred going close to strangers or having any body contact. But that wasn’t happening. Our baby was seated comfortably on his laps while they discussed animatedly. She would giggle by something he said, and he would in turn throw his head back and laugh. It was so natural. One might think they’ve known each other for years. “Can I marry him?” Makayla pleaded in a whisper. We both snickered, covering our mouths so we wouldn’t be found out. When I looked back at him, a smile slowly crept onto my face. I was mesmerized by him. I was weirdly proud like a mother whose son was helping an old woman cross the street. My mum had her hands which held the kitchen towel, clasped against her bosom. She was also smiling. I knew by now, she had already begun planning my wedding, and sourcing out Christian names for my children. I wouldn’t put that past her. After fifteen

A Mother's Intuition
Anne After dinner, mum had called me up to her room. I knew this kind of summoning. Most times, it didn’t bode well for me and my sis. It was either we did something bad and needed a spanking, or she needed to have a long, one on one motherly talk with us, based on certain observations. I was apprehensive. Maybe mum didn’t like Vincent. Or maybe she didn’t like that I brought a man home in general. Well, the second probability didn’t seem like it because she had threatened to marry us off if we continued to give her headache. Not that Vincent was planning to fulfill her wishes or anything but...I should stop going to that angle now. So, to her room I went, holding onto my chest. At her door, I gently knocked and slipped in when she responded. On a normal circumstance, when I was certain I had done nothing wrong, I could barge into her room and fling myself on her bed while she’d yell her lungs at my deaf ears, but today wasn’t one of those days. “Hi momma,” I greeted in my tiniest

Illicit Thoughts
Anne In the parlor, the trio had already started a small party of laughter. Joan was already sitting comfortably on his shoulders, playing with his hair. I stood in the entrance for close to a minute before Joan saw me and yelled my name, making the others stop and look my way. I gave them a small smile and walked slowly into the room. “Is he going to sleep here?” Joan asked excitedly. “Do you want him to sleep here?” Makayla asked her daughter. “Yes!!!” Joan squealed in delight. “I know everyone wants him to sleep in aunt Anny’s room, but…but… I don’t want that,” she whined, folding her tiny arms beneath her tiny chest. “What then do you want, sweetie?” I asked, coming to stand in front of Vincent whilst talking to the little lady above his head. “I want him to play with me in my room, then we’d sleep on the floor together, with all the toys, just like I see on tv,” she said, tearing up. I saw my sister’s smile slowly vanish from her face. We all understood her words. Joan, ho

Get a Grip, Anne!
Anne He reached down and grabbed my butt, then used it to slide me up on his body till I was face to face with him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. Of course, all his actions, be it the one with his eyes and the one with his body and hands were doing crazy things to my mind and body. I tried to keep my head up but the feeling coursing through me made it feel so heavy, plus the way those orbs roamed my face made me dizzy with desire. I had to bring my head down to his shoulders and lay it there. He kissed my forehead whilst sliding his hands into my big shirt, and grabbing my skin tenderly. “Hmm…you’re so soft,” he whispered in a raspy voice, sending chills down my body. His voice excites me, especially when we are this close. It is one of the things that made me know how he was feeling at that moment. The rest were his hooded eyes, his touch, and that huge bulge beneath me. “And you’re so hard,” I replied, then widened my eyes and smacked my hand against my lips at the

Hot Bodies
Anne He roughly pulled me against him, then moved backward and closed the door with the back of his foot. When he was sure the door was secured in its latch with the clicking sound, he pushed forward, still not leaving my lips. We reached the foot of the bed and he pulled away, only to push me on the bed, then followed. He would have fallen on top of me with all his weight but he had first landed with his arms before gently lowering the rest of his body on top of me, taking my lips again. There was urgency in the way he kissed me; in the way he glided on me as if he’d been holding and bottling himself for so long. I didn’t mind. It was overly appreciated by me. I parted my legs to feel his lower body better. My own heat was back and had matched his in seconds. I grabbed his butt and pulled it closer to me, moaning as my body trembled with excitement. I was finally feeding it. He slipped his hands into my big shirt and dragged roughly at my skin, pulling and rubbing as he went up.

The Future is Here
Anne I felt him move up, stopping directly over my face. I thought he would pull the pillow away, so I tightened my hold on it, but he made no move to do that. Weirdly, his hands were still where I last felt them, and I wasn’t seeing his expression cause of the pillow over my head. A few moments later, I felt his hand slip out of my shorts. I was worried. I decided to remove the pillow, but he beat me to it. He pulled it over and stared at my face. He wasn’t smiling, neither was he angry. He had an unreadable expression on his face that, somehow, retained the intensity in his eyes. “Are you disappointed?” I asked, roaming my eyes around his face to decipher, even if was the tiniest thought. He was going to answer, but footsteps outside my door sent us flying apart. He flung himself off the bed, while I adjusted my shorts and shirt, then sat up on the bed, waiting for the knock that never came. The footsteps went downstairs and walked around the kitchen area for a while. It was ac

Sleepless Night
Anne I laid on my bed, staring absentmindedly at the ceiling. My mind was weighed down with a burden heavy enough to flatten a car. Vincent hadn’t picked Andrew’s call. He had called severally but he didn’t pick up. He had slid it inside his pant pocket and grabbed my hang, resuming the back and forth flinging as if nothing had changed the air around us. He was dreading the future, too. On reaching the bus stop, the cab he ordered earlier was already waiting to pick him up. Before he entered, he had placed a soft kiss on my lips and had whispered that we’d see later. That moment reminded me of the night that changed everything. I had brought up Andrew, and his mood had changed. He had tried to hide it like before, but I knew he felt uneasy and disturbed. Nevertheless, he called me when he got to his hotel room and we spoke for an hour before we called it a night. I couldn’t sleep though. The love Vincent and I shared was forbidden now, and I didn’t know how to come to terms with th

Relief
ANNE It was my first time entering the hotel that was now known as the medical hotel by a good number of people in Umende. Being where all the visiting medical personnel lodged, a lot of protocols were being followed before one can enter or leave the premises. I spent close to thirty minutes waiting in line to get checked at the entrance. Vincent had told me of these processes and had suggested we met at my house, but stubborn me insisted on going to his hotel. They shut a lot of places down because of the lockdown, so we hadn’t many options. It was either my place, which I was so not agreeing to, or I go to him as a medical volunteer. The latter I did. He said he had a meeting with his team that morning and had opted to come to pick me up in the afternoon. Again, stubbornly, I insisted I waited for him at the reception, cue in my prolonged waiting at the beautiful gate. The event of yesterday disturbed me a lot. I needed to let it out, and I needed to do that as soon as possible b

Were you Disappointed?
Anne “Oh sorry! I didn’t know you had a visitor,” she said when she peeped through his shoulders and saw me sitting on the bed. ‘So, if he hadn’t a visitor, what was she going to do?’ my angry mind yelled at her. I know I was reading more than it was to the whole Dr. Arya thing. Honestly, I didn’t have a problem with her. She was a beautiful and jovial soul from my brief encounter with her. The only thing was that I felt I’d messed things up with Vincent and his family. If someone as blameless and lovely as her enters the picture, everyone was likely to let go of the problematic Anne and glide towards her. “Hi Anne,” she waved over Vincent's shoulders. “Hi Dr. Arya,” I replied as enthusiastically as possible. “It’s nice seeing you again after a dreadful encounter,” she said with a kind smile. “Same here, doctor,” I replied, imitating her smile. She turned back to Vincent and mumbled a few things to him, then handed him something, turned to the side, and walked off. When Vincen
