Painful Addiction
"What happens when a nerdy girl falls for a playboy?" "They say that pain is a sign of weakness leaving your body but in my case, it's a clamp that refuses to let go of my heart no matter how hard I try." Chisom has had a complicated life but when she meets him, the world seems brighter and everything feels a thousand times better. Even though Chisom masquerades as the strongest person she knows with nothing being able to move her, deep down, her emotions are as fragile as an egg: easily shattered. Meeting him was one of the best things to happen to her. He was her first love but would he be her last?
Dirty mind, Dirty mind
Boarding a commercial motorcycle from my house to my mother's shop was a ride of roughly five to six minutes and my mother had given me just fifteen minutes to rush over.
Taking a shower usually took fifteen to twenty minutes so I was at a loss on what to do.
I decided to just do the typical Nigerian 'Rub and Shine' technique usually done when there was no time to bathe when in a hurry.
A bath should have been taken the night before though.
It involved spraying perfume, dabbing some powder on the face and putting on the outfit of your choice.
I was done in five minutes and I looked like a homeless person as I had hurriedly put on a shirt I had stolen from my dad, adidas track pants and palm slippers.
Trying to salvage the look, I latched on the bracelet Tobi had gifted me and hooked a gold chain around my neck.
