Father.

I always imagined what my father had been like; the things he liked, the things he didn’t like. If he was cool, or not. Was he light-skinned like me or dark as mum? I would wonder.

ROSE. (18+) (1,406)
12.Am. Rosemary stood still by the white wooden door, trying not to breathe too hard. The hallway, dimly lit by the recessed light reflecting from the antechamber stood still with her. She could hear the clock ticking in the distance - tick tock, tick tock, reminding her of the twenty minutes she had spent, standing […]
ONE TIME IN NOVEMBER. (870)
DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, 2016. “You’re up?” Clayton's DM read on my Instagram profile. But I was only just waking up. His message was sent minutes past 1.am, while I was fast asleep. I smiled, glad he texted because I had made up my mind not to pursue our friendship any longer. Not for anything, he did […]
ALEXANDER (813)
Touché! That had to be his favorite word. I remember him saying it more times than he said any other singular word. “Touché!” He wrote me when I accused him of being too direct in his texts. That word, and nothing else. But that was Alexander, that was the way he communicated. He wasn’t a […]
UNREQUITED. (18+) (798)
It's hard just thinking about it. PART ONE. It was a Friday in September. That Friday started off like any other day, Ene and I woke up, had our baths and rushed out for Lectures. We returned afterwards, prepared lunch, ate and relaxed on our beds. As we lay engrossed with our phones, she […]

A LITTLE, TOO LATE. (760)
I was playing Fifa 18 with the boys when Sylvia stormed into my house. Shaken by the abrupt barging in, we all turned to her in shock. "What are you doing here?" I spoke with the gamepad clasped between my hands, "How did you even get in?!" I hadn't seen her in over a year. […]
MY WIFE’S FRIEND. (663)
I met Seun through my wife. Light skinned, petite and pretty, she seemed to like my wife a lot and my wife appeared to feel the same way. Both women shared quite a close bond. She would come around the house now and then but I never conversed with her beyond the usual hello’s and […]
THE Client. (623)
The first time I saw Donald was in my office. I was running late to work on that particular day which is unusual for me as I try to keep up with time, in every area of my life. But as unscripted as life can be, my car tire went flat barely 20 minutes after […]
