“You, Edosa Williams.” She spoke above the ensuing musical interlude and leaned forward, straddling him. “I want you for dinner.” She captured his lips with hers and reached for the buttons of his shirt simultaneously, stunning him into silence and submission.

She can’t be more than 31. You are smack in the middle of the trio. Give or take, you’re between 33 and 35 years. But you look 27.” He continued confidently. “Anyway, I don’t care how old you are. You’re definitely not as old as I am and you’ve had a child already, so getting the next shouldn’t be a problem. I also believe in the options of science and the miracle of God. We are sorted as it is.” He concluded.

Read More“We all have a past – whether it returns to haunt us or not. Dealing with it with the people in the present helps to keep it firmly where it belongs – in the past. “He shook his head. “And I told you not to dismiss me again, Esohe. Do you remember? After my first meeting with Folarin? I knew what I was getting into when I got involved with you. I like my cases dismissed; not me. But no, you went right ahead to not only dismiss me but also break up with me when it mattered most. Was I supposed to be in your life just for the good times? The outings? The fun? Uh, Esohe?”
Read MoreFor wia I wan leave you?” Her friend sounded pissed; her voice becoming closer, stronger. “If Jeje nor go tell you, I go tell you! How you go do dat kain tin? Let dat bastard Folarin make you troway a whol’ Eddie for corner? Eh? Our Eddie!” She seethed. “You get luck say I nor dey town when you try dat nonsense! I for go fin’ Folarin, bus’ bottle for im head. Cari the remainin’ con bus’ for your own.”
Read MoreShe willed him to have the presence of mind to offer her Eddie’s number because she didn’t know how to go about asking for it without raising his eyebrows. She was already certain he was finding this conversation weird and didn’t want to put him in a more uncomfortable position. “Okay. Thanks.” Reluctantly, she broke the connection.

Do you want a copy?” She asked suddenly, her eyes watching him. “So call off your dog who has been tailing me for weeks. Don’t come within certain prescribed yards of me or Osayu. Visitations with him will be supervised from now on at my discretion. You lost the right to be anything to us four years ago.” She continued in a cold monotone. “If you don’t like these terms, you can return to wherever you’ve been holed up in for the last four years.” She drew a steadying breadth. “The only regret I have in all of this is letting you harm my relationship with Eddie…and coming in between Ifeanyi and you. But then, if he really is your best buddy, wouldn’t you be a different man by now, allowing his good qualities rub off on you? Instead of this tyrant you have become?”
Read MoreHe knew. All the time he sent flowers, called her, texted her, ran into her and pleaded that she talk to him. He knew. What a colossal fool she’d been! “How…how is he?”
Read MoreShe wanted to see him again. Hear those smoky tones talking to her. Snuggle in his arms. Be his girl once more. And damn Folarin to hell and back!
Read More“You look good.” He uttered softly before he could stop himself, stepping forward. It was torture being so close to her without being able to touch her or take her in his arms, shield her from the pain even if he was hurting too.
