Romance
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.

Dueling Kingdoms - Part 6
Here are the previous chapters if you haven't checked them out! While Kris subtly held her lower abdomen, the earth-shattering reality of everything became unbearable and her world began to swirl. “Roy..” a mere whimper escaped as Kris’ vision began to blur. “Woah! Kris! Easy there, you're alright. I got you." With concern on Roy's face he gently guided Kris towards the ground in an empty meadow. As Kris came through the fainting spell, she erratically pushed back screaming “Don’t touch me!” As she brought her knees to her chest. Scared he might feel the subtle changes happening in her body, she couldn’t risk him finding out, not yet anyway. “I…forgive me Kris, I merely wanted to make sure you’re alright.” “I’m fine, I just stepped wrong.” Although Roy was skeptical, he dropped the subject, and asked Kris to expand on her thoughts of her royalty. “You said earlier you believed you were, or are, royalty? Enlighten me Kris, why do you believe this?” “Surely you must know?” Roy laughed in bewilderment, “I can attest to it that I haven’t the slightest idea.” Roy’s eyes glistened with curiosity and had depth to them as if he wanted me to share my thoughts openly. Yet, here I am hiding my abdomen and being hypervigilant about everything. Clearly I wasn’t off to a good start. “Kris?” Roy called my name as if pulling me from troubled waters, “Oh right, my apologies. I discovered this tale of two kingdoms, one between your parents prior to their divide, and Kingdom Haus, who now reside on the far side of the mountain. Does this tale sound familiar?” “I’d be lying if I said no.” Dropping his eyes, Roy broke eye contact, taking in a shaky breath and rubbing his knee as if a secret had just been exposed. “So you knew?!” Kris rose to her feet, anger sputtering through her body, trying to breathe steadily to avoid another fainting spell. “Kris, please…” “After all this time?! I trusted you! I’ve freely put my life on the line for you and the Queen! And for what? To be your puppet?” Kris felt betrayed by Roy, perhaps Prince Coy spoke plainly, albeit deceitful in his tactics, but at least he spoke plainly! Coy tried to show me the truth about my true identity. I was just too stubborn and blind to notice! I could only see him through my bias as a vile monster, oh what a fool I am! “Kris, I can explain.” “Now you want to explain Roy?! No! You don’t get to just talk your way out of this!” Before Roy could respond, Kris quickly spun on her heels and ran into the depths of the forest to be alone in her thoughts. Most of all she needed a safe hiding place as she knew Roy would surely look for her.

What I've been unexpectedly looking for.
I never know where to start with stories like this. Love always feels like a fairytale at first—everything painted in soft, rose-colored light. You laugh more, dream more, and for a while, it feels like nothing could ever go wrong. But eventually, the colors begin to fade. Sometimes it’s because the relationship becomes too intense, too quickly. Other times, it’s because of poor choices we make along the way.

Dueling Kingdoms - Part 4
The young knights were exhausted, dripping in sweat and famished as Kris easily fought each of them, barely breaking a sweat as she smirked at their weakness to herself, careful not to let anyone see. Kris began dismissing the young knights to rest and eat for lunch, when she was interrupted by a fully suited knight, sword drawn. The young knights seem to recognize the armored knight, and instantly knelt down keeping their eyes to the floor. Kris on the other hand, rose, as if challenging the armored knight to speak. “Come to join us?” Kris smirked, unimpressed. The knight had strong plated armor. The mask of his helmet covering his face. “I’ve come to test your might, Krisanthanese.” “I don’t respond to that name.” Kris snipped with anger, “Why don’t you take off your helmet and show yourself. Or are you always this cowardly?” Kris retorted, the young guards quietly gasping and glancing upwards to see what the knight would do. The armored knight sheathed his sword, placing his hands on either side of their helmet and as the golden locks of Coy’s hair unfurled, Kris was all the more eager to engage in a skirmish. “Ah, Coy.” “That’s Prince Coy to you.” “Call me as I requested and I’ll do the same.” Prince Coy smirked, “You know, I see why my brother is so fond of you, Kris.” He hissed my name with a petty grin. “Your ability to push the envelope on royal customs and norms is, well, admirable.” “At least I’m loyal.” “Loyal? You willingly came along with me, with addition of the Queen’s command of course. You call that loyal?” “I’m bound to the Queen, I do what she asks without question, yes.” Kris was confused by Coy’s questioning, as they began circling each other. “Ah, so you chose to follow a command, leaving your kingdom vulnerable without their most fierce knight. Most of all, you left your Prince, heir to the throne, heartbroken and in despair.” “I am simply a knight, one with great honor and skill. I am bound to the Queen, and I do not play with emotions, I have a task and I fulfill it.” “Yet, here you are, training the very kingdom that attacked yours. What loyalty?” “I have no choice.” “We all have a choice, Kris. I chose you because it was a deeper wound to my brother than any physical attack.” “What do you mean?” “The fact you don’t know is quite amusing.” “Out with it then.” “My brother is in love.” “Surely you don’t believe that Prince Roy is sabotaging his graces with Lady Helena and her father because he’s in love with me?” “It’s quite clear, and my cavalry scouts brought word this very morning that Prince Roy has vanished from his kingdom.” Vanished? Why would he leave our people? This agreement is about to get broken, or very very messy. “Ah, do you realize it now?” “I don’t believe you. Love breaks a warrior, makes them weak.” “Yes. Which is why you will be battling him upon his arrival.” My heart sank, as if completely leaving my body. It’s true I have feelings for Prince Roy, but I have trained myself to suppress them. “I’ll leave you to prepare, unless…” Kris stood in silence, her eyes on the floor, still in shock from Prince Coy’s command. “Unless, you agree to be arranged to me, to be my betrothed, and spare Prince Roy’s life.”
