On The Run "Good evening, ma", Greeting was the first thing that came to my mind as I saw Grandma sitting on the only armchair in the living room. "I don't want to ever see you near my granddaughter again, stay as far as possible from her else you'll end up in jail", She slapped Loveboy and grabbed my hand. This time, I couldn't resist her. I followed her meekly like a sheep being led to the slaughterhouse. She didn't even wait for Aunt Simi to finish her night bath and say goodbye to us. Besides, a taxi was already waiting for us outside the apartment. I didn't sleep a wink throughout the night. My eyes were wide open, watching the night transform into the day, and my heart was trapped with Loveboy. I wanted to give him a last look badly at Aunt Simi's house but I couldn't. I wasn't as strong as I thought. The possibility of him ignoring me forever because of what Grandma also scared me. The possibility of not being able to enjoy...

Bola roared so loud that we ran quickly to the living room to see who our Augu...

PRODIGAL DAUGHTERS My little nephews spend most of their life playing PS 3 so I wasn't a novice who didn't know how to deal with guys holding gamepads against each other. One might think they’ll be easy to deal with because they are kids but it’s still the same to me. But why are guys so annoying when it comes to sports? Why do they act as if their whole existence depends solely on it? Coupled with my experience and Pupo’s advice, I planned a strategy to make my presence known to Loveboy without inviting his wrath which still didn’t work so I had to switch off the switch for their play station. "What was that for!" He squalled at me. For once in my life, I played hard to get. Loveboy pleaded with me to forgive him for the way he reacted but I didn't listen. Not until he got on his knees to do that while Bola and I were on our way to the main gate of his home. “Hey stop, overreacting”, I laughed. “So what do you want to talk about, honey...
