Thirty minutes later, Kunle finished cooking and he also prepared a sauce for her, that’s what she wanted. And she also helped him out.
“Uhm, it’s good. Just the way I love it.” Amber mumbled, nodding her head. “It’s your doing.”
“No, you cooked it.” She replied. “Well, I’m glad you liked it.” He mumbled. “After eating you’ll take your meds, no argument. No long talk.” He warned, she rolled her eyes and sighed softly.
“Where you worried about me?” He asked, staring at her. “Yeah, because if something happens, I will be the one to be questioned and I’m not ready for that.” She replied.
“So, you don’t care about me?” He questioned. “Why are you bringing up this conversation?”
“Because I really want to know.” He answered. “I think, I need my medicine now. And rest too.” She replied.
He kept calm for some seconds and then nodded in response to the words she said, “I will get the medicine.” He mumbled and stood up.
TWO DAYS LATER
Amber was at the door, waiting for Kunle to come back. She was just moving up and down, in the living room. She has been, since Sandra left. And she was watching a movie and all of sudden she got tired of it and slept off.
Waking up, she checked the time and find out that, he’s not yet back. She has been up for the pass two hours.
“Seriously? Kunle, you promise that you’ll be back on time.” She thought. “How do I tell him this?”
“Oh goodness.” She mumbled, running her hands on her hair. She sat down and then stood up again, making practice on how to tell him.
“Uhm, sweetheart I’m sorry for…” She paused and rolled her eyes. “I’ve never called him sweetheart before. I was never sweet to him, it’s just not going to work.”
“Kunle, please..I’m sorry for being stup….” She was distracted by the knock on the door. She quickly adjust her dress and exhale before opening the door. “Hi..” She mumbled, with a smile.
“Hello, good afternoon.” He mumbled. “Good afternoon, please come in.” She said, opening the door wide.
“Thank you.. How are you feeling? I hope you didn’t stress yourself?” He asked.
“I’m fine, I’m good. And you?” She replied. “I’m good.” He mumbled.
“Let’s go to the room.” He mumbled. ‘Yeah, okay. Lemme have the brief case.” She replied.
“No, don’t worry. You don’t have to stress yourself.” He said, smiling. “It’s cool, I’m not stressing myself.” She replied and carried the stuff as they walked to his room.
She drop the bag on the couch and walk to him. He touched her forehead to know, if she’s okay. “I’m good,
“How was your work?” She asked, he stared at her for some minutes and then looked away. This is the first time, she is asking about his work, it’s has been him doing the check up and caring.
“It was fun.” He mumbled, she bite her bottom, wondering the type of fun he is talking about.
“Okay…uhm, lemme help you out with this so that, you can freshen up and come down for lunch. I cooked.” She said.
“Alright.” He mumbled and smiled. She removed his shirt and it was remaining his trouser. She inhale and exhale. He wanted to tell her, to let it go, but she went on her knees and then get hold of the belt. She unhook it and then it fell to his knees. He removed his legs and thanked her.
“Go freshen up, I will be waiting for you in the dinning.” She muttered and double tapped his bare chest, she wanted to say it, but still don’t know how to say it to him. He didn’t stop staring at her eyes, he could that she want to do or say something. He pulled her to himself as she was about to leave.
“Is there something you want talk about? I’m ready to listen to you.” He said, caressing her cheek. She glanced at him and bow her head.
“Yes, I mean No. Nothing, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.” She muttered, but Kunle didn’t let her go, even though she was struggling to let go.
“Your..your..” She paused and cleaned up her throat. “Is touching me..” She muttered, he nodded and mumbled, “I know.” He mumbled and kissed her cheek, she gave a little smile and left his room.
He gave a soft sigh and smile, he went to the bathroom. “She’s sweet..” He mumbled, smiling as he turned on the shower.

After eating, he smiled and thanked her, for the delicious meal.
“I love it.” He said, about the food. “Thanks..” She muttered and gave a little smile, and sighed softly.
“Tell me about it.” He said as he noticed the look on her face and also the constant sigh. She exhale, and glance at him. “K, I’m sorry for everything, I did. I was being stupid and thinking that all men are the same, because of what my mom went through. And my past too.
Even after everything I did, to push you away from me. But you didn’t leave me and my strong head. I’m sorry.”
“I love, the way you say it. Your strong head.”
“It’s okay. I’m not mad at you, I love you. The first time I saw you at the bachelor party, the way you take care of the situation. Everything about you captured my heart.” He said.
He carried her to his room, he laid her on his bed. He laid beside her and kissed her cheek.
“Tell me about your past.”
“My past, it’s not good.
My ex cheated on me, sleeping with my roommate. I caught them on my bed and then I got to know that, he was already dating her. I was heartbroken and then I vowed never to love any man.
Sorry about that, what about your dad? Your relationship with him?
She exhale heavily and glance at him “He was a bad man to my mom and me. I h@tëd him.
I caught him, cheating on my mom. He normally lock me up in a dark room, knowing that I’m scared of darkness. He beats mom anything, she tried to say something.
He threaten. So one day I talked about divorce but mom didn’t listen to me. She was scared of dad. He never gave me, happiness. I h@të everything about him.
“I’m sorry about that, your past. Hurts.” He mumbled and pulled her to his chest as she was crying, he pat her back. “I heard about it.”
“‘When?”
“The day I came for your dad’s anniversary, I didn’t see you around. I was told that, you’ve never been there before. Even in his funeral, which was five years ago.” He muttered, she nodded..
“But, did he in any way try to make peace with you or your mom?”Kunle asked. “Yeah, but I didn’t want to listen to him and I don’t regret it.” She said.
“Enough of mine, Tell me about yours.” She said. He nodded and smiled, “Well, lemme ask you a question.”
“How will you feel, when the woman you used to love, is in a relationship with your manager?”
“I will feel bad and fire him, I don’t fúçking care. That’s my old self saying this.” She mumbled.
“Sorry about that.”
“She just wake up one morning and told me that she doesn’t deserve me. That she wanna break up with me, I pleaded with her, to know if I have hurt her. She cried and went on her knees, she told me that she can’t hide it anymore. My manager wanted to come tell me about it, but she stopped him, knowing the bad they did. She was scared that I will fire him.
She told me that they have been in a relationship for a year now, can you imagine?
True be told, I was very angry and all that came into my mind was to sack him. To make the matter worse, He’s my friend. I wanted to help him.
I told my mom about it, she was the one who calm me down, she told me that mine will come. And i waited, but you know mothers they won’t stop amusing you, she started telling me to get married and am glad I did.
So, I let go of everything and I sponsor their wedding, she requested for my blessings, I couldn’t believe it. I gave her my blessings, they have a baby girl together.
They traveled out of the country, and I continued my life.” He muttered.
“What about your manager? Did he apologize for what he did?” Amber asked. “Yeah, he did.” He replied.
“Do you still love her?” She asked, he looked at her and chuckled. “She’s my past, and I don’t love her. I have you, and we will spend the rest of our lives together, we’ll grow old together.” He muttered.
“Thanks..” She said, hugging him. “But.. But what?” She cut him off. “Your ex is a fool, he let go of gold for a gold digger. Wh@tëver happens afterwards, it’s his business.” He muttered. “And also, I love the new nickname, K.” He said, smiling.
“Actually I was thinking of a name to call you, but I couldn’t because I’ve never called you a sweet name, before. But I’m glad you like it.”
“Love not like.” He muttered, staring at her. She laughed and allow him to cuddle her.
