Onyx Hood.~Lara~"This is hell of a building."I watched him take few steps forward, towards the large compound of the estate. "Why intrigued? You sure have seen better places. I should be the one drooling."He glared at me and rolled his eyes. I chuckled as he looked away suddenly. I love him. And I wish he was my man. But I knew too well what first love could make of you. I know too well that first love is a rollercoaster... so, I've learnt not to expect too much. Just go along the ride. Who knows, he might end up as mine, or... I'm dreaming again!"Don't just stand here, come on."He called. "Right."The large gate was opened by one of the gatemen. I don't know why old people love tending to the gates!As we walked in, there was already an in-compound cab waiting for us to take us to the main building. "Hell of a place."He muttered again as we got into the cab and it drove off.

A Garden.  ~Ninny~ "Should I say it's quite a wonder that you showed up today?" Haya teased. But I guess she probably already knew that the last thing on mind was having a joke to play upon. My mind was very far from it. I kept mute after the joke.  We were both standing under a tree, my car was parked by the roadside quite the distance behind me. I had asked to meet her and she'd said she was sightseeing at some garden. And here we are.  It has only been few minutes into meeting with her. We'd started off with petty talks and unnecessary gists. "I know you don't want to talk about what happened among you, Dare and your mom. And I won't push you." Haya added. I shut out the distraction of the small girl who was constantly running around a little Chihuahua. I bet the little girl has no idea what monster lives in every Chihuahua.  "If I don't wanna talk about it, I wouldn't had called you earlier. I'm

         Somewhere in California.  ~Anny~ "Is he even home?" I looked through the car of the window, gently pulling the car over at the front of the bungalow. I stepped out and punched the car locked. Twas the Rolls-Royce he had gone with for a day. He had returned it late yesterday and now I'm paying him a surprise visit at the new apartment.  I walked towards the door of the building and used an extra key to open the door. It's either I creep on him or he returns home to find me naked in his sitting room.  Or who knows, he might not even be living here. He might not have moved in.  "The air feels stuffy." I muttered softly as I walked into the living room. I didn't see anything yet. Then I moved further towards the large sofa, I began to hear a wierd sound. I moved closer only to find a sleeping Dare. With his chest and face buried in the chair.  I was tempted to look

       Kafula. ~Dare Ofegu~"What are we doing here?"I argued, turning to her in the seat next to the driver's. She reached one of her fingers across, pressing it on my lips, in a hush. She leaned forward towards me and pressed her lips on mine, mine hardly paving because I was yet caught between the claws of confusion. "Who's your queen?"She asked, looking me right in the eyes, after the kiss. Her face still close to mine in the position that could stir another kiss. "You."I was sure she was, but I was trying to figure out what that had to do with the question I'd asked.  She leaned forward and kissed me again. After the kiss, she turned to the door and opened. I made to open my door but she called,"Don't you dare."Her eyes bulging at the sockets. Woah! Like really?!I only put both my hands up in surrender as she slammed the door and hurried to my side of t

       Same. ~Ninny~"Oh, baby."I fell into his open arms and held unto him so tightly. Even though he smelt unwashed and his clothes seemed smeared from the prison dusts, I didn't care. All I wanted was the warmth of his body. The warmth I've been trying to get acquainted with this short period of time. "Are you alright?"I asked as I looked up him. I kissed him, with passion, want and need. He repaid the effort, his lips paving for my tongue which sought the taste of his mouth. He held dearly unto me as I ploughed his lips. I didn't care that we were being watched. All that I've missed for several months, I'm ready to have everything in a week. He was the one to let go first and I chuckled at him. His face broke into a recent smile also, my left palm tracing his cheek. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you again."I said and held his hand, pulling him with me tow
