You heard the first drop of rain land on the roof of your apartment like the giant clock heralding the incoming of a new hour..  Loud and specific. It was going to rain. That was sure.  But what wasn't sure was the longevity of the rain. You didn't know if this rain was an indomie noodles man or a beans man. You needed to be sure which one it was before you took your containers outside.  There was no drop of water in your house.  Your landlord and landlady had turned off the tank as always. The she devil and he goat themselves. The rain continued to drizzle slowly, so you went back to chatting with Deji, the young banker that caught your fancy at Access bank. You had gone there to pay in Ajo money for your aunt when you sighted him at a corner - slim, tall, dark skinned and handsome, just like you love them. You quickly checked your image in the little mirror that you kept in your purse. Your make up was on fleek, as always. You smiled! You were about to put away the...

You stare at the screen of your office desktop for several minutes, not knowing which way forward.  You don't know if you should send the document and get it done with or wait till tomorrow and update before you send. You sighed for the 30th time since you finished working on the marketing report you were meant to forward to your boss. You sigh again once more before you finally made up your mind to leave the report till the next day. You saved your progress and lifted your head to see how the sales girls were doing. Then you saw him. Cute face that had stress written all over it, tall frame and a lean body that looked like it needed a lot of food. And food he was going to have. At least, you were going to make sure that he bought enough food to help him replenish his obviously depleted stamina. "hi, is anyone attending to you yet?', you asked him as you stood from the chair and walked towards him. "Not yet", his face lit him in an attempt to smile, but the stres...

I used to write my love stories, To include you, us, love songs, destination places, dinner dates,  Candle nights, and naked bodies under rumpled sheets. Tear-brimmed eyes, sleepless nights, nostalgic memories, and a shattered heart, were all i got from you.  Now, I am making a U-turn, Rewriting love to suit my whims and wills, Not trying to force you to feature in my love story. Now, I am rewriting my love story to feature just me, Just me loving Myself the way I should be loved, Just me going on trips and creating sweet memories, Just me listening to songs by Ric Hassani and Chike, Just me enjoying a sweet dinner at my favorite restaurant, Just me falling in love with the girl named ME!!!

"Nobody plans to cheat, cheating just happens", I have always heard people say to douse an infidelity fire or to make themselves feel good and sleep well at night. Of course, if you thought about it, they might be right because no one wakes one day to premeditate cheating. You all would agree that no one just wakes and starts plotting how to start cheating. But where I beg to differ with that saying is that cheating is actually a planned affair. Don't raise your brows, calm down and walk with me through my thought process. Before you walked up to that lady to say hi, you could have looked away and faced your business. But you walked up to her, exchanged pleasantries with her, and continued to talk so more. Because you wanted to be sleek and you wanted the conversation to go smoothly, you mentally appraise her, looking for what to compliment about her, that would help you score some points. At that point, you look at her closely and deeply. You notice the big boobs, the as...

  Can I go back to when love was just you and I? Two loyal people with dreams, aspirations, and goals of building a family together Two beautiful strangers who found love in a weird place But rather than give it up, decided to nurse it to become a home for them. Can we go back to what we were Before the girls came calling for your heart Before you started longing for softer bodies and more ample bosom Before you started kissing forbidden lips under the guava tree Before you said it was over and you were done. I want to go back to the love I know, The love that bore me on steady wings As I soared, trying to fit my tiny little wings into the myriads of other wings in the sky. The love that held my shaking hands And helped me rise through each life's challenges. I crave the tongue that I trusted,  In the midst of lying tongues claiming "I love you" I long for the body that enveloped mine in a warmth embrace on cold lonely nights when the stars were sparse. I want a love that...
