Ibrahim's POV.

Everyone was too busy to notice my arrival from work late. My mom, dad, uncle and aunty were all engrossed on God knows what they were watching. As quite as a tiger trying to aim his prey I walked past them without making a sound. I went to my room, used 5min to refreshen up. I needed to clear my head, sitting by the pool wasn't a bad idea after all. I went to the wine seller and picked a bottle, Something simple and complicated would do.

" hey babe". It was Fatima calling so I picked up the call. " i just got home".
" got home few minutes back, on my way to the pool". Her end was quite for sometime before she finally spoke up. " have you seen her?". I gasped for air.
" Nope".
"Ok. Babe. Please don't be late. I will be leaving the house early to prepare myself but 4pm babe. I'm giving you from now till 4pm tomorrow". I don't know if I could pull this through. Yes I loved her. Yes I don't want this whole stuff to keep complicating things between us but backstabbing my family. " look babe I get everything thing you said but do you know what this would cause if it should come out to the public!".
"I don't care!!!. You promised babe...... you said you will mar-". I was about speaking when my eyes met with Ejiro sitting beside the pool. My heart skipped a beat when our eyes met but she was fast to look away like she never saw me. " hello!!. I can't hear you the network is breaking". I was fast to cut Fatima off. " we will talk later".
" babe... babe...". I ended the call without giving a reply.

I guess this was my opportunity to talk to Ejiro one on one even if it's just this once. Ibrahim man up, you can do this. I most say she did look beautiful in the dark. Her laps spread on the tiles she is sat on forming a perfect oval shape. Even if she was dark skin, she glowed in the dark. Her skin was on point with no hyperpigmentation or skin problem. A perfect definition of ebony beauty. She was putting on a red swim suit and a beach hat. The whole air felt suffocating for reasons best known to me. "Hey". I said taking my sit next to her. The cold feeling that kissed my skin when my legs made contact with the waters was enough to make me Sick, yet she is so comfortable playing with the water with her foot. " it's cold you shouldn't be here".

"I'm fine". Her tone was cold and proved I was the last person she wanted to talk to right now. " ok, I will let you be just let me know if you need anything". I was about standing up when her words stopped me.

" do you remember me?".

"Excuse me". Although she kept her eyes locked up on the water.

" like do you remember everything that happen months back with us in the club that night?". Truth be told I remember nothing of what that experience felt like but I did know Ejiro was not lying about that night. " No". I gasped. "But I did wake up to videos and photos Similar to that you uploaded online on my phone, although I deleted them".

" Ok". We were quite for sometime before she continued. "What do you think of this child?". She graced me with a two second smile that was very fast to fade. " honestly Ejiro". I don't even know what to say. I'm beyond speechless. " I don't know if he or she is mine but-".

" how was your meeting?". She cut me off trying to hide the pain she must have feel about the conversation. " went well but the Governor said I should cancel my campaign due to the following arising matters".

" I don't think you should". Why?. Like she reed the question on my mind. " so what if Fatima made a mess of me?. Go for your campaign I can help if you want. I guess I needed what Fatima did to me". It's funny how her mood changed from sadness to happiness and back to sadness again. "Why?". Like I'm confused.

" you know my mom use to say for every sin you commit even if God forgives you, you will shall pay for it. Maybe I'm paying for mine".

" that's absurd". I felt pleased my statement made her smile. " I'm going to my room Ibrahim. Good night". Before I could reply her she was already on her way out. I watched her retreating figure walked away and turned into tin air.

Now that Ejiro was gone there is just one thought on my head. Where the fuck I'm I going to sleep?.
