How do two people go from feeling like they've known each other forever to feeling like strangers? Somebody tell me.  It wasn't supposed to be love. I mean,  how does companionship mean love? And that was what you asked for. Someone to be your friend, Someone to talk to because she wasn't there... She really wasn't there for you? I tried to be your companion at first and it was cool... But then it became more... More than companions... More than friends...we were lovers. And I loved it. I was there for you more than necessary. And you...you tried your best to be within reach for me. And I appreciated it... So I put my heart out, placed it in your hands. Baby this is all of me... Do with as you please... In between, I trust you completely. You took my heart without any hesitation. You became my light house. You loved me... Or so I thought. Then you decided it wasn't enough and so threw my heart... To the ground. And dragged it w...

“Kiss me.” I suddenly said and felt his hand still on my back. “You’re awake?” he asked in a surprised voice. What? Did he think I’d be able to sleep through it? I sat up…the covers falling off my body. “Yes.” “Bibi, Lola and I broke up a long time ago. I didn’t…” “Just kiss me so we can get over this Lola ish.” I cut him off.  After all, I knew the whole story…Kendra made sure. And yes, it would have been nice to hear it from the horse’s mouth but I couldn’t wait. I wanted that mouth on me. He stared at me for a while…I remember wondering if he felt unsure. Then he leaned in and kissed me. Deep and hungrily… Then pulled away. Not again…I was beginning to think but couldnt finish when he looked me in the eyes (I mean, it was dark but he had to be) and said,  “I love you Bibi.” My heart stopped…he finally said it to me…to my face And he kissed me again…. And then the world was right again. THE END Thanks y'all for reading  The Secret Diaries ...

                                                                     I didn’t care if he wanted to be with me for just sex , i’ll take the  stolen moments and go , I thought to myself. I wanted him. I started to touch him…moving my hands down his length until they got to the band of his pyjamas trouser. I really wanted him then… He pulled away from me. He studied me for a bit then scooted over. “What?” I croaked, barely able to form the words. I was overwhelmed with lust. I cleared my throat and tried again.”What’s wrong?” There was a silence in which I felt I should be embarrassed but I wasn’t. After all, he started it. “I know you think ever...

“Why wouldn’t she? It’s THE BUZZ.” He said the buzz like it was of popular importance. I yimued at him, then turned my attention back to the magazine. “You obviously don’t know the movie…but how come? It’s been the talk for months now. Everybody back home is anticipating it and now, we’re going to be the first set of people to see it.” Lord knows I had never heard of the movie…not even a single advert. “Duh…the movie editors and crew members have seen it already.” “That’s because they shot it.” He shot back at me. “Bibi what can ever get you excited?” he continued, rolling his eyes at me.    I rolled my eyes back at him then yelled several things in my mind then out loud, “Whatever! We’re still going back home tomorrow morning.” I continued to read the magazine but stopped to look at him when I didn’t hear him say anything else. He was watching me... And then, he threw himself on the bed. “Hey.” I shouted, then ducked…but it wasn’t really ne...

  Three weeks in Vegas and we were headed back! It happened to be the best time of my life. I’m sorry Kendra, I thought to myself. I’ve had really good times with you…I mean you’re my best friend but someone has surpassed you in that… Daniel… My boyfriend. Yes, you heard me right!    The business trip only lasted one week and I played my part as a ghost P.A. my only job was to record the proceedings of the meeting…with a pen. It wasn’t easy trying to catch most of the words as they rolled back and forth between the two parties but I did my best. In the end, it wasn’t necessary, Daniel had only given me the pretend job just to have me with him. The meetings were video recorded from start to finish…I only found out when it was all over but I wasn’t upset. I wasn’t upset that he had manipulated me into going with him, after all, he was the spender…who still had to pay for my pretend job. The morning before we were supposed to head back home, he made...

Everyone agreed. Especially me… Kendra and I loved watching movies together. We’d joke and tease the different actors that seemed fake. Yemi’s conversation with his friend broke off immediately. He turned on the D.V.D player and slid in a disc saying, “You guys will love this movie.” We arranged ourselves on the three huge couches. I don’t know how but I found myself on the couch we’d been sitting on since we got there…and Kendra in between yemi and i…the other girl, gone. Oh I know…he was the newcomer…he must have actually been looking at her at some point. One of the guys turned off the lights and I felt Kendra hold my hand. I wondered if it was because she was nervous sitting really close to her crush. I put my fingers in the spaces between her fingers and hold her hand tight. The movie started off on a funny note and I felt my friend relax beside me. As the movie went on, I remember thinking to myself that it was comedy…comedy they say heals the heart…an...
