Romance
The Lord’s Silent Bride
Chapter 1: The Bride in Silence The sun was warm against the veil that draped over Angel’s snow-white hair. She sat still as the maids finished fastening the final golden pin into her updo, shaped like a blooming flower — the only thing from her mother’s past she had left.

Unprepared
My phone began to ring and I was scared to pick the call. My roommate asked me to pick the call but I turned deaf ears to what she was saying. She asked me why I refused to pick Adam's call and I narrated the story on how I came back from church service, I got hungry so I decided to prepare some food that I will eat at that moment when Adam called me on the phone. I gladly picked the call because I was dying to hear his voice. Only for him to tell me that he has called off the friendship. I was curious to know why so I asked him why he would do such a thing to me and he said that I was playing games with his heart so as it stands now, he is no longer interested in our friendship anymore. I begged him very well o and he refused to listen to me instead he ended the call on me. Now he is calling me so that we should discuss what? I am no longer interested sef so he should stop calling me. My roommate calmed me down and advised me to pick his call and hear what he has to say first before I will draw a conclusion. So I told her that I am no longer interested, in short I am unavailable for him since he does not have any respect for me. My roommate shouted at me and asked me to stop all those childish things and pick his call and listen to what he as to say. I was like, look at my roommate ooo. Wait, do you want to carry his matter on your head? Why are you drinking Panadol on Adam's headache? Anyways it is Adam I am having issue with, I don't want to have issues with you because of Adam so stay off and keep off. When I need your advice, I will call you and consult you on that. My roommate was like, Adam loves you so much but you are not helping the young man here. You don't know that it takes two to tangle. You don't know it takes the two of you to make the relationship to properly workout. But with your lackadaisical attitude now, you are frustrating the whole thing, don't say I did not advise you ooo. After saying that to me, I pretended like I was not the one she was talking to. I went straight to my bed, hug my pillow and act like I was not bothered at all. After a while, I started to feel unease and restless, i was totally bothered about how I was treating Adam at that moment, what should I do now? Should I call him back and hear what he has to say or I should keep ignoring his calls so that he will know that I am very angry with him? I started to ponder on Adam's matter that is heavy on my heart. I started to ask myself that if I should be avoiding Adam's call, how long will I keep doing this? I truly love Adam and I really want to start an intimate relationship with him and make him my honey pie, my honey and my world. I want to love no one but him. I really want to be with him, build my future with him, bear children with him and make him the number one citizen of my life. But the way I am treating him right now, I don't think I am ready. If I keep treating him like this, will I achieve all this thing I wish for myself? No, I will not. I think I should do what my roommate advised me to do, I should just give him a chance and see what will be the outcome of this relationship. On a second thought, I think I will wait for his call so when he calls again, I will pick his call and then we make up our differences on the phone by God's grace. I will not take any step to call him for if I do he will start to think that I am a cheap girl, all those one-indomie-and-two-eggs kind of girl. Abeg, I am not even his girlfriend yet so why will I be killing myself for him? How am I sure that he is not even with another lady right now or is on the phone with another lady? He is an handsome guy and I am quite sure that I am not the only one he must be keeping friendship with as a lady. That Adam of a guy can be polyamorous from the the look of things. I am not concluding sha but why I am telling myself this is because the way he approached me on that day I went to buy my IPhone, you need to see the way we stared at each other for seconds as our eyes met. That guy will be seducing a lot of ladies with his sexy eyes just as he seduced me. His gait too his sexy. That day he took me to the shop where I got my IPhone, as he walked before me I was just admiring his gait. Adam will not kill me or is it his manner. The one that trip me the most is his lips. As he was talking to me, telling me the functions of the IPhone and how I should use them. That day I was staring at his pink lips like that of a woman, I felt like kissing those lips but I had to control myself. I have to respect myself before people will start saying that it is because of a guy Amakay wants to go crazy. This kind of love I never see, I must tell you because the way e dey do me ehn, I can't imagine it and words can describe this kind of feelings. Funny enough, Adam is not the first guy in my life that I will say I am JJC in boyfriend and girlfriend parole but what baffles me is how the love dey intoxicate me like alcohol. No be small thing o! Anyways, it happens and I am not surprised sha, for people fall in love for one reason or the other. Everyone falls in love and I am no exceptional, even fools fall in love so you can imagine that. Adam will not kill me. Sometimes I will just sit back and ask myself what I saw in this guy that made me want to have an intimate relationship with him but no answer. If it is boyfriends I have them many that I can mention. Some reside in Lagos and some of my boyfriends reside in other states in Nigeria. How did I lose my phone? If I remember how I lose my phone, it use to amuse me a lot. I was on my own bed reading some fashion magazines when my phone rang so I checked to know who was calling my phone and it happens to be a guy I met in a bus on my way to Yaba. That day I went to buy some okrika wears (or bend down select). So that day I board a bus from Ikotun to cele express and again I asked my girlfriend who was coming from Ago palace to wait for me at cele express so that we can go to Yaba to buy some clothes. I also have intentions of buying some food stuffs too at Oyingbo market but I didn't tell her because I know that she will be complaining that I want to take the whole of her time that day so I refuse to tell her but I know that when we are done buying those clothes I want, I will beg her to be my escort to Oyingbo. So that day in the bus, I met this handsome guy. I use to fall in love with handsome guys very much and I don't know why. Whether you are working or not, whether you have money or not, once you are handsome you have won fifty percent of my heart. Yeah, like I use to tell my girlfriend, everything is not money. I use to hear some guys say that girls like money but it is not true shey you get. So that day sha we chatted and he wooed me, I liked him but I don't want to look so cheap so I was just acting like I am not interested in him. We exchanged contacts that day then we left. Then six weeks after we met, this guy called me and told me that he missed me, that I should come and visit him that day. I already understand what he wants for I am not a child. So I ask him to send me location and he did. When I visited him, he welcomed me and asked me to make myself comfortable. He lived in a mini flat, he is single and a working class. So after sometime he started to make some sexual advances to me, because I love him I allowed him to have his own share of the national cake. We had great sex together and I really enjoyed it. After having two rounds of sex, he begged me to stay with him throughout the night, that early in the morning I can leave. That he will give me a lift when he is going to work that morning but I refused and I know why. So I was surprised to see his call again after some months, so I picked his call and we got talking on the phone that day. So he told me that his friend wants to celebrate his birthday that weekend and he wants me to be there. I agreed to go to the birthday with him if he will come and give me a ride to the place and he agreed.
