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?
DTR- Defining the relationship
"Am I going to regret this sooner or later?" I asked myself as I pondered over what Mariam had so graciously told me.
There was nothing I hated more than talking about what I felt inside of me.
I would never know if the person I talk to would understand or even properly listen to me.
I was sure of one thing.
I loved Tobi.
I did.
It was an intense feeling that I found difficult to describe sometimes.
He made me feel more alive than I had ever felt before in my life.
He opened my mind to new possibilities and made me even more confident in myself and what I could do.
There was no time he did not remind me of how beautiful and intelligent I was.
In his words, "You are the smartest person I have ever met. The way you think and your philosophy on the world fascinates and mesmerizes me."
He had said that to me the night after he came to my mother's shop to see me.
