'I'm sorry' I blurted out ,at least I owed him an apology if he offered to drive me home. KJ only looked at me and nodded.I wanted him to apologize too so I asked him to ,it took a lot of hisses before he did .

When he dropped me at the park very close to my place I thanked him again and left. I didn't actually expect to see him again,but I did and this time I was also having a fight with a teenager who took my purse and refused to give it back (failed robbery attempt).When I saw him I was embarrassed this time ,I thought he'd think for sure that I was a psycho. He came to visit a worker in our neighborhood and he managed to get my purse back.

After that we exchanged numbers and talked for a while,started hanging out,went on dates and
Love found us and here we are.

I was smiling at the end of my narration and turning to face KJ I could see that my heart was in the right place. I felt at home by just looking into his eyes and I was mesmerized by it. For a while I actually forgot we were at the table surrounded by five more people.
Gina cleared her throat drawing me back to reality and I was grateful she did because I didn't want to leave the house wet again.

"You are two are so in love,it makes me want to cry. I never thought that Jamie would ever fall in love,to talk of getting engaged, I'm so proud of you big bro" Jane said almost tearing up. She's  definitely the emotional type.

"James how could you even bump into someone and not apologize that is so rude of you, I thought I taught you better' Mr's Johnson retorted

KJ apologized again which was funny, but he had to please his mom.The beast was just staring at me ,maybe trying to see through me like he always did. This time it was different, I had the courage to look back and I was proud of myself. I had made progress.

After we had cleared the dishes off the table,Gina and I opted to help the maids clean up,but Mrs Johnson wouldn't even have it. She told us instead to help Jane unpack her things.

Mark left immediately after we cleared the dishes, he had urgent family business to attend to so he couldn't stay .
While Gina and I walked up to the stairs we couldn't help but overhear heated up conversations coming from the direction Mr's Johnson pointed as Jane's room.

I knew it was wrong to eaves drop but honestly I couldn't help but over hear.

"You are one horrible man,to think you'd actually care,to actually man up and confess what you did to her,How could you ? 'Jane said almost sobbing
Do you even know why I came back, do you?! I have been living with the guilt of knowing what you are and not being able to tell her. I've watched her suffer everyday because of what you did to her and I can't even help her. Do you know how it feels to visit your best friend at a psychiatric ward lost and unstable because of a monster like you. You are a horrible man and I loathe you.
I hate you for being my father and making me go through all this pain."

" How dare you accuse me of such preposterous act Jane?"Mr Johnson barked

" What ever happened to your friend has nothing to do with me,You on the other hand are ungrateful child,you're an ingrate if you think you can walk into my house and lay accusations against me. Things  that I could and would never do. You are an Ingrate!"

" I can't believe you're lying dad,I saw you with my own eyes dad , I saw you. You know I should have known you'd deny and I was a coward for not saying something then. Now if you're done with what you came here to do,I'd suggest you leave my room this minute."

With that Gina and walked down the stairs and pretended to be climbing back up ,he just looked at the both of us as we walked pass him. Then  proceeded to his room. We knocked on Jane's door and she opened her door.
We were right she was crying,we didn't even bother asking her why,we just told her why we came to her room.

It took hours to get Jane's things in place and while we arranged her things we discussed about a lot of things ,some private and some even more private.

'So Mer have you guys done it yet?'Jane asked folding her shirts
I wanted to pretend that I didn't even hear her question but Gina repeated it in a reported manner probably to taunt me.

'Done what? I replied

' oh please don't play dumb with me,my brother is no saint and trust me when I say I've seen things,I have'
Ummm Jane don't you think it's actually weird asking me about my sex life with your brother,Gina here does it a lot but .I don't know who I'm more uncomfortable answering you or her. At this point I was more than embarrassed,I could barely even make eye contact.

"You haven't, have you? That's so sweet, finally someone to tame the tiger. Jane said laughing

Then Gina joined in.
I had to excuse myself to avoid sinking into the ground out of embarrassment apparently celibacy was such a horrible thing. How annoying I muttered.

It was already 4pm and I thought it wise to call KJ so that'd we'd be on our way .I started walking towards the stairs before a hand gripped me

'I know what you are doing but trust me when I say ,if it ever comes to my son choosing between me and you, he will choose me.You may think he loves you but love won't make him turn on me.I am his father and that will never change, he will always put family first. The sooner you leave the better for you"

I didn't even get to reply before he waltzed out, I wanted to brush away what he said but I couldn't help but remember his conversation with his daughter and he was right. KJ might love me but if I told him about his father would he turn on his father, because of me. This  was an impossible situation.

Gina came down few minutes later and we all bid Mr's Johnson and Jane farewell before driving .I only had one thought in my mind and it was about what the beast had said.
Gina had to get something at a friend's so KJ and proceeded to my house.

"You look worried' he said as we climbed the stairs ,I had forgotten how observant KJ was
I gave him a smile trying to reassure him that all was fine but he was persistent.
When we sat down in the living room I finally spoke

" Ummm KJ do you think that we'd end up together, that nothing can come in between us"
He was shocked at the question at first, but then he smiled and took my hand and kept it on his chest then he said

' I know that nothing and no one can come between us,because you're my life. Something or someone coming  in between us would mean taking my life.  I love you very much and I mean every bit of it.

I was still scared but the reassurance I saw in his eyes made me forget my worry. I just sat close to him ,our faces inches apart .staring into his eyes,I could not only see my reflection,I could see more. I could see love ,the universe smiling at me telling me everything would be fine.
His hands whilst trying to keep my hand he mistakenly brushed my thighs. I didn't know if to blame my hormones or my emotional state but something in me was riled up and I drew his face closer and kissed him the way I had never before.. Our eyes caressed each other increasing the temperature of the room and making it stuffy. I could feel the tension emanating from both of us. In his eyes, i saw the unspoken words and i understood each word, though not voiced. We hadn't planned for this.
He deepened the kiss and I found out desires I never thought I had.

Wait a minute am I moaning ?.With every touch the electricity ignited like wild fire. I felt weak within me, my legs a mass of jelly. I know my legs could not carry me if i'm asked to stand. My brain was very close to being dead,I could hear a part of it screaming celibacy but my body was adamant.

Regaining his voice he said, "baby,I think we should stop" .I hesitated a moment, unsure of what to do. In a croaked voice i replied.

"'ta-ke me he-re.Wait what! This was definitely not my brain talking,this was a war and my body was winning. Wake  up brain! Mouth always listen to the brain,you'll get yourself in trouble"

Inside my body the  storm was building, accompanied by claps of thunder. Our lips met again and I was filled with kaleidoscope of emotions. I was mesmerized by the look in his eyes, each gaze drowned me into the depths of those beautiful and intelligent eyes. I looked at him, all beautiful (handsome) and manly male. With  every touch I received a new hunger began to build. Slowly  his hands went up to the hem of my gown and it went above my head.

I was to preoccupied peeling his shirt off,feeling his warm hard chest .This was one explosive feeling of pleasure that my body wasn't ready to let go.
At our feet, things began to fall, materials that caused a barrier between two kingdoms fighting to meet. Strokes on my thighs ,fingers digging into his back ,making him moan and mumble things. It  was either now or I'm a gunner. His  hands were at the hook of my bra .It was as if all the hidden strength in me resurfaced and I managed to put up a resistance.

"Stop! I breathed out. His hands went limp and it was as if he was brought back to reality. He didn't speak just regret forming in his eyes. I knew what he was thinking and I had to let him know it was not his fault.

" Hey! I'm sorry I said hugging him ,I'm not ready for that kind of step and I know I messed up ,it's not you it's me."

He only looked at me and  nodded, he held me tighter and we just stood there.  I didn't even  how my clothes left my body,human beings are indeed animals.

I barely finished my moment of bliss before Gina stormed in.

Oh great! I'm finished

KJ was shirtless and I helped him pick up his shirt ,how did it even leave his body? He hurriedly wore it ,gave me a kiss and greeted Gina who was facing the wall goodnight and left.
She turned to face me with a smile and I was too embarrassed to even say anything

"Well ,well well,Meredith chinenye Onwuka care to explain"
Gina not now please I blurted out gathering my clothing's and rushing to my room.

"You can run but you can't hide" She called out chuckling. "Finally some real gist"

I went to my bed and the event kept replaying in my head,I could feel every touch as i soaped myself .Maybe we need to explore ourselves more as a couple ,after all we were engaged. But then if we did what we did often ,the dream of having a wedding night a Virgin would be totally off the charts and I knew why.
I wonder how long it took me before I drifted off to sleep. Who  knows how KJ is feeling right now,was the thought I held on to.

Leave me alone!"

I screamed while panting ,yes the demon came again. I checked my phone and it was already 5am .I stood up and headed to the kitchen to get water. Nightmares  meant lack of sleep to me but in a way they had become my alarm.

Gina was not up yet,thankfully. I  was already dreading the cross examination she'll give me after walking in KJ and I. It was funny how I would keep thinking about what happened. Simple biology, my body was craving for mating I guess.
I got lost in my thoughts and didn't even notice when Gina walked in.She cleared her throat and I was aware of myself.

"ummmm morning,Gina how was your night?"

'Osi gini? When did you become this mannered biko give me gist that you starved me yesterday" she said stooping down to be facing me directly

"Nothing happened, seriously you saw us didn't you?" I replied suddenly very shy

She laughed and fell to the floor" Well who would have thought ,that you had it in you,I used to think you and KJ were too celibate to even kiss,then I walk into you in your pants and bra and him barely clothed,I must comment on his beautiful body by the way,those abs are killers. Now that is a sight you don't get to see everyday"

"Gina don't you think we shouldn't even be having this conversation,besides your not supposed to comment on my fiance's body, it's very uncomfortable coming from you."

"So tell me how did you feel?she asked making sure to maintain eye contact

" I felt really good,too good I didn't even know I could stop. Now I think it's going to be more difficult being celibate, I wonder how some people do it with all these cravings. It  answered very flushed at the thought."

"I  know I've always called you boring and all ,but honestly if you think you can pull it off ,you know being celibate then do it. As much as I enjoyed finding out you are sexually active ,I don't think I appreciate any funny business in this house. I had to disinfect the couch yesterday" She said making faces.

"I don't plan on having 'nearly's' again in this house' I snapped back

What's that ? Nearly's she asked confused

" Well nearly killed the bird' she got it immediately and chuckled and on her way to the door she simply said 'we'll see about that'

I was enjoying the majestic strutting to the office ,making sure that I didn't put too much effort in getting to class. it's not everyday that I get that privilege.
On getting to the class I was surprised to see a man facing the louvres ,probably waiting for my arrival. I was surprised because I wasn't expecting any parent .They usually call before coming over .
He turned around to face me and I was stunned by how handsome he is.

' Good morning Miss Meredith, ive been waiting for you,I'm Scott's father Nathan and I have a proposition for you'

I brought out my hand and shook him and was eager to hear what he said while still scanning his very handsome face. No wonder that kid is pretty.

"You are more beautiful than he described, my son needs a tutor and I want to hire you?"

"Thanks but I don't think Scott needs a tutor, he has been performing excellently in all his subjects,except languages. But that's not really a problem it's understandable because he didn't grow up here and the school can wave it for him. I replied slightly blushing at his compliment.
See miss Meredith ,that's the thing .I want my son to learn at least one indigenous language, preferably anyone that you can speak. He already likes you and I didn't want to hire anyone he wasn't comfortable with ,please"

To be honest I was confused, most parents beg for their children to drop languages and he's begging for his son to offer one.I was still contemplating before I was cut off with

"I'll pay any amount you want,it's very important to me that he learns" he said

Thinking of it ,maybe I should take the offer it wouldn't hurt helping him out and I was growing fond of Scott by the way."Okay, I'll teach him,but I'll tell you when I'll start .Here's my number so that you can call to pass information, there's really no need coming to class" I wrote it down and handed it over to him.
He thanked me and walked out  winking at his son on his way out

' funny guy' Well if you all are done listening in on my conversation with Mr Nathan which is very bad,could you all please turn to page 7 of your math work book and solve the problems.

The children were giggling while some were probably shooting daggers at me for starting the day with math.

"ummm Miss Meredith, Paul called out raising his hand' If I tell my dad I need a tutor ,will you also come teach me.he asked

Well Paul I would if your father agrees to it,but you don't even need extra lessons, you're doing very well.
As soon I was done with Paul ,ten more children raised their hands.

I got home by taking a cab,KJ had called and apologized for not coming to pick me ,he was really busy at work and couldn't even make it.
When I got to the apartment  Gina was already home and she was seated across a woman who was way too familiar to me.

Chinenyenwa I heard her call to me There was only one person who called me that and I knew who it was'

Hello mother!

Mom, Gina and I were sitting quietly at the table just staring at each other. Gina had her questions which she wanted answered and mom was beyond pissed at me.

I finally cleared my throat and spoke' "Mom are you sleeping here ,should I prepare anything for you?
She only looked at me and nodded, I left immediately to get food stuff for what I'll prepare for her,I had to prepare soup .

" Wetin be #250? You can't possible think of selling that at 250,that's too expensive. I was referring to the vegetable the trader was selling to me at 250.

'No be una go vote una current presido,now everything don cost,ordinary tomato dem dey sell one basket forty something thousand,every time dem go talk fight corruption rubbish!

If you no wan buy just commot from my front oo,no make me vex for you
I just paid her because I was in a hurry and left,I never even voted .so voting the wrong candidate shouldn't be pinned on me.

Another election was fast approaching and I was planning on voting this time, maybe my vote would actually count.

I got home and started making preparations, Gina excused herself and started helping me still giving me glares. I  know I should have told her but I wanted to leave that life behind .I wanted to be the Meredith I am here. I do hope she understands.
.
Mom ate in silence and when she finished she was ready to finish me with scolding.
Gina noticed the change in the atmosphere and decided to excuse herself.

"Chinenyenwa what kind of life are you living here? I can't believe you left home 3years ago just to be living like a pauper. What exactly do you want with your life. Your father and I are more than capable of giving you the best of everything. Why do you keep hurting me eh nwa? What have I done to deserve this ' she complained with tears forming in her eyes.

"Mom I'm sorry,ndo nu .I'm not just ready to come back home,I know I should have been in touch but I wanted to be away to discover myself. Don't  cry please"

"Discover yourself you say,chinenyenwa you could have discovered yourself back home,you should know that running from your problems will never make it go away, your father has been worried 'I snorted at her statement of worry from my father

Your brothers miss you so much ,even Adaugo said you've not been in touch with her .We are your family for crying out loud,stop detaching yourself from us.'

Just last week Vivian got married and everyone came but you,do you know how we felt when your aunts and uncles kept asking of you, even Peter came  back from the states last week .He's been trying to reach you .Chinenyenwa bikozie nu ,please come back home.

"Mom I'm engaged I'll be coming back home soon,I'm very sorry for cutting you all off but honestly I needed to get away from things and dad was making things difficult for me with his idea of working in the company, I just wanted something different and I found it here.I am actually enjoying the simple life."

You are engaged? She asked with excitement

" Yes mom I am,His name is James Johnson and he is an amazing person.
That's good news,at least your disappearance got you something good,I do hope to meet him before I leave .Thank goodness you are normal ,I was beginning to ask God if you were normal .if you actually liked men ,nenye you have been the most unpredictable of all my children. I can tell what is happening with Adaugo and your brothers but you! No.You've always been too independent and secretive. Please nenye let us in ,let me in stop treating us like strangers.
I hugged her and promised to teach out more. My trauma made more self absorbed while growing up and I never had friends except for peter whom his parents sent to study. I had always carried my problems in my heart ,never liked sharing my issues. I felt guilty ,sad ,vulnerable and angry most times and I often detached myself from my siblings.

My father and I had a rough relationship and deep down I blamed him for what had happened to me ,it was because of him that Mr Johnson came into our lives and almost ruined mine.For years I always fell out with my father and when I decided I wanted to teach he went berserk. Father wanted me in the company ,but I was craving for freedom. One day I picked up my things and left our house. I left a note for my mom and my younger brothers and I had seen any of my family members till today .I guess I was too selfish by leaving and I never knew I was hurting my family as well.
Mom stayed for a while analysing my apartment, though Gina made her laugh with her funny jokes .She kept on saying ' I love this girl' on her way out.

Mom refused to stay with me,she said she had a business partner to meet .Dad told her to help him out since he was out of the country. Turned out my parents were expanding the family business and  a certain Mr Johnson was also involved. I just hope their Mr Andrew is not the same Mr Johnson that almost ruined my life. I didn't want ask her if it was Mr Johnson. I was too afraid to find out if they were the same person.
Finally mom's driver drove off after hugging me several times.I felt pained that I had made her suffer and miss me and I was going to change that. But First I had an apology to render to Gina.

G I'm sorry' I said as I walked into her room,she didn't even make an effort to acknowledge my presence. She just kept doing what she was doing with her phone.

Gina and Instagram,I thought as I sat close to her. Gina was so fond of celebrities that I could actually bet that she was following almost all of them on Instagram.

" I wanted to tell you so many times' I began 'but I just didn't find the right moment, soon we just became very comfortable here and I guess I felt very comfortable knowing that life was behind me'"

She didn't even flinch,I simply threw her headset on the ground and she screamed.

Meredith! Do you want to spoil my stuff? This thing here cost me 10k '
I tried to stifle the laughter that was almost escaping my mouth but failed miserably. It was just so funny how Gina valued her gadgets so much. How to get a lady's attention.

"You're not supposed to be laughing M,infact you should be grovelling at my feet,begging for forgiveness. How do you think I felt when your mom walked into this apartment today? I've known you for three years,mer three years and it didn't even occur to you to mention that you come from a family of billionaires"

G I'm so.... I was cut off by 'The fact that our electricity got off and I went borrowing to get it paid when you can even buy this whole house and more is not amusing at all. Is that I'm not trustworthy or do you think I'd be after your money. I'm  just disappointed'

I'm sorry G it was bad of me to hide it from you,I guess I was selfish there,please I don't want you mad at me. What  can I do to make you forgive me?I asked making a puppy face.

' Well you can start by paying me back every form of contribution I have made in this house,getting me an I phone,I'll think of others' she replied smiling

'And I thought you loved me ,because of me G I'm hurt' I said pretending to be stabbed in the chest.

'But mer eh ,this your mom dikwa funny,she erased everything you served her,for someone who was upset I was thinking she'd have rejected the food'

I couldn't hold my laughter on hearing that and Gina joined me. My mom never jokes with her food,Dad would always get her cookies and Chinese whenever they had a falling out. And  she would eat everything and still pretend to have tossed the food in the trash.

My mom was a food lover and not even anger could diminish that love.
I took Gina out for ice dream,which she did deserve considering how I wasn't totally honest with her .We bumped into jane but she was in too much of a hurry to stay with us. Seeing  her made me want to find out what actually transpired between her father and her Friend. I had a hunch that her friend was also molested but I had to be sure.

Gina ended up making a long list of the things she wanted from me,before we drifted off to sleep.
She included a trip to Dubai with all the expenses sorted by me,a trip to Paris,a trip to Disney land,I kept wondering why she'd even want that, a grown woman. A trip to Hawaii,a motorcycle and other ridiculously expensive things.

I agreed to all because she threatened to stop being my friend. I knew she was joking but I valued Gina so much because she was the only true friend that really got me. I was not ready to ruin that friendship.

I ran hysterically to work the next day and finally agreed to tutor Scott as Nathan and I spoke over the phone. I had to tutor him in their house for two hours and he was willing to pay handsomely.

Paul kept insisting that I tutor him as well as half of the class and I ran out  of excuses to tell them.
I left the school upon a request from my mom to come see her

Did I say request?  I meant a command properly garnished with threats and fake cries' Chinenyenwa leave that your rubbish school and come and see your mother, how can you be so heartless ,you don't even want to see me or spend time with me ,If you don't make yourself available in the next thirty minutes at the location I'll text you,I'll call your father and tell him that I want to own a school'

I had to tell the principal that it was an emergency before he let me leave.
Things kids do for their mothers!
It was a nice restaurant with a beautiful outlet,the glasses were so polished and the ground shiny.I wanted to get the meeting over with and I walked really fast to get to my mother's table. Mother was not alone sadly,for someone who craved her daughter's attention,hers was divided. I couldn't make out who they were at first glance,but the other man seemed to have a back view that was very close to KJ's. Lookalikes I thought ,When I finally approached the table mom stood up to hug me and the two men turned to face me.
Shocked was beyond my current state!

Chineyenwa meet my soon to be business partner Mr Andrew Johnson and his son James Johnson'
With that the bomb exploded in my brain again.

As I stood facing my mom and the Johnson's, I thought of many scenarios being played out in my head

First scenario

Mom introduces me as her daughter, I remain dumb ,KJ very astonished and upset and Mr Johnson probably grinning

Second scenario

I don't let mom finish her introduction before running out of the restaurant ,as fast as my leg can carry me .that would be embarrassing and mom and the Johnson's would probably come after me

Third scenario
Cut mom off from her introduction if she hadn't told the Johnson's already that I'd be coming .

I did a brief analysis of the three scenarios and decided to go with the third,I thought it best for KJ to hear about my family from me and for some reason I felt it was better for me to keep my family away from Mr Johnson. I still wonder why my parents want to expand their business with him,he did bail on them the first time after he decided to play with me.A part of me did wonder if Mr Johnson knew that my mother was my mom.He did come to our house on that faithful day or maybe he also didn't know I was a member of the family.

'Well Mr Johnson... James meet my dau' mom was caught off by my voice screaming niece .

I'm her niece' I repeated making signs to my mom with my eyes,hoping she'd catch them and play along.

' Her brows arched up, probably wondering if I was okay,but she decided to play along thank goodness.
My niece Chinenyenwa ,she is like a daughter to me ' she said stressing the daughter to imply that she didn't enjoy the show I was putting on.
KJ got up and  kissed me on the forehead looking very surprised that I knew my mom,which was funny.

Mr. Johnson acknowledged my presence by nodding .So much affection coming from my soon to be father in law.

KJ was pleased to know that I was related to my mom and gave me the' we'll discuss about this later' look. His look was simple, to stare into my eyes till I felt the heat of the intense gaze.
Mom was however curious to know why I had allowed a kiss from KJ and why they seemed quite acquainted with me.

'Nana ,this is my fiance the one I told you about and Mr Johnson is his father'

Pleased was an understatement for what mom was feeling ,there was a big smile plastered on  her face and she had to give KJ a very long bear hug.She also managed to pull the grumpy Mr Johnson into a hug .
We ate and talked about many things,well mom talked mostly about me(the embarrassing stories of my childhood) while KJ laughed .Mr Johnson let out a  smile or two and continued with his lunch.

Mr Johnson took care of the bills while my mom,KJ and I waited for him in the car.

"Mer hun I never knew I had competition, you didn't tell me of your love for RMD(Richard Mofe Damijo) ,you even shot Stella with a toy gun out of jealousy ' KJ said laughing.

I was very embarrassed at that,when I was a child I loved the actor so much that whenever we watched his movies,I'd dress up as a bride hoping he'd marry me before the movie ends,but sadly he wouldn't. Stella Damascus was my competition, he was always her husband in most of the movies. Thank God I got over that love.

KJ received a call about an emergency at the office and had to leave immediately, Mr Johnson followed suit and I was left with mom and her driver.

' Something awful must have happened that made them both leave like that' mom said

Yeah I think so,I was hoping to talk to him,I guess that'll be later' I responded.

' Chinenyenwa what was that all about? Introducing me as your aunt,you better have a very good explanation'

KJ doesn't know that I come from a wealthy family, I always told him that I didn't like talking about my family while we were dating ,I only gave very brief details and I never showed him pictures of anyone .I felt it wise to be the one to open up to him about who we really are'

Mom you practically dragged me out to this place and you couldn't even tell me we were not going to be alone'
Well....I didn't plan on meeting Andrew today I only bumped into him and when he told me the handsome young man was his son,I had to get you here by all means. He has a fine man for a son '

My mouth was hanging open by the time she had finished,was my mom half awake the other day when I told her that I was engaged or did she decide to deliberately forget that very important information.

"Chinenyenwa oh please don't give me that look,I thought you told me about that engagement just to make me happy and probably reduce the anger I felt towards you,I never knew you were serious .Besides Chinenyenwa it's not the first time you lied about guys in your life .You told me Peter was your boyfriend in high school, I kept sending him gifts anonymously only to find out he was dating Lillian's fat daughter .I got that boy a Rolex '

Laughter erupted from my chest upon hearing that,mom did pester me a lot about getting a boyfriend and I had to convince peter to play the role to get her off my back.

' Mom why would I lie about being engaged, I wouldn't joke with something as serious as that trust me'
Well nenyenwa you can't actually convince people that you are,when you don't have a ring to show for it'
She was right about that I guess,my hand was bare not because KJ didn't give me one,he actually got a very beautiful and expensive diamond ring. But I didn't like wearing rings,it was one issue that made KJ and I fight a lot,but he saw that it was probably impossible to change that and just let me be.

I remember he told me after we had a fight about wearing the ring and I was very upset .that in his own words' I don't need you to wear a ring to show that you're taken,I guess it's me being insecure, I have your heart to show for it,don't worry I'll wear a ring for both of us' KJ can be very sweet sometimes
I had decided after that day to wear my ring occasionally.

' Mom I don't need a ring to convince people that I'm engaged you know,men would still come after me ring or not,men even go after married women'

' well nenye men would always go after a very beautiful lady like yourself anytime, and it's because you are a product of a very fine woman like myself,don't you see how beautiful and young I look, I'd probably ask for a role for 28 year old  woman and I'll get it in a heart beat"

I ended up laughing at that,mom decided to drop me off at school and even though I tried to get her to leave she decided she wanted to meet my kids. Which was odd because mom was not really a child person. I could already sense a disaster brewing.
When we got to class I relieved miss Gloria an assistant teacher the duty of watching the kids and they were quite excited to have me back.

'Everyone meet Mrs Onwuka  Edith she's my .....'

I was cut off by a very loud and resounding ' grandmother!?'

"Wasn't my mother saying she looked 28 few minutes ago,this must have hurt'
Oh boy! These kids are so dead today and mom had already turned red.

A/N:how are we doing people? And 28 is called grandma 😂😂😂
