EVERY WAKING MOMENT

CHAPTER SEVEN

Helen entered the guest suite she always used whenever she had to spend the night at Eden castle.  She dropped her overnight bag on the bed and sat down and heaved a sigh. So here she was finally about to meet Chuck again in a few hours. Her mind went back to that kiss. She shouldn’t be relieving it but she couldn’t help herself. She shouldn’t be looking forward to it again but that was all she could do to keep from running mad. To distract herself, she got up and began to put away her toiletries. She hung the attire for tomorrow and laid out the red bikini and lemon chiffon short gown she was wearing over it. She wondered.

She should go out and meet others, she was sure the living room will be filling up by now yet she could not put one foot in front of the other. The truth was whether she wanted it or not, she was going to see Chuck again. That wasn’t her reluctance, her fear she realized was of her. She knew somehow that resisting Chuck if he thought to finish what they started was zero to none. Not that she wanted to resist the man if he was really interested in her, no she wouldn’t because she had stopped lying to herself long ago that he was the love of her life. The only reason she was going to try hard at resisting him was because of her amnesia. Before she entered a relationship, she needed to find who she was, a married woman, a fiancée, a mother? These things she needed to know, she didn’t want a case where she would be very serious with a man and wake up morning only to find she was a loving wife to another man. Relationship, what relationship, the only thing closest to a relationship that Chuck Obi would be wanting from her would be a weekend fling, beginning tonight and ending tomorrow night,  if he was stayed long enough, she thought sadly.

You are not going to solve the whole problem right now Helen, she told herself. The best she could do was to wear her bikini and gown and go down to meet the others.  She was a grown woman and one that can handle herself in any given situation. She was a big girl and shouldn’t let the thought of a man who didn’t know she existed till this morning scare her off friends, stop her from giving Nma her full support this weekend or turn her off having fun and enjoying herself this weekend. Even the way she was hiding up here was silly and pathetic. She was going to enjoy herself whether Chuck wanted it or not. With that conviction she got into her bikini and gown and marched to the mirror resolutely and refreshed her makeup.

 With determined footsteps she left the room and closed the door behind.

Helen found people gathered around the kitchen table. Snacking while others were raiding the fridge but there was no sign of Chuck for that she was grateful. Seeing him here would have shaken her equilibrium no matter the pep talk she had given herself. Amber was the first to see her.

‘Hello darling’ Amber cooed and dragged her into the circle. Soon Helen was mingling and laughing and having fun. She tried not to spare a thought to Chuck. He could go to blazes for all she cared. She was glad she was dressed for the occasion; it would have been difficult to compete with Amber in white bikini and sarong. How possible was it that any could compete with the kind of figure Amber in her fifties could boast of except maybe Nma when she got to that age.

‘So Helen how are the designs coming up?’ Rose Nma’s mother in law asked.

Helen opened her mouth to answer but Chuck entered at that very moment and she forgot what she was going to say. She just stared at him like foolish teenager. Helen ate him up with her eyes, if anyone noticed how hungrily she looked at him, she didn’t care because she couldn’t help herself, all she could do was stare and admire how handsome he looked in a jeans and white black T shirts, which did nothing to hide his bulging and rippling muscles. She swallowed hard and tried without success to rein in her thoughts to no avail. She wanted this man with every fiber of her being. She wanted nothing more than to belong to him, and for him to belong to her. She watch with growing dread and excitement as he made his way round the table greeting family and friends he hadn’t seen in a while. She watched him swing Shawn up and around. Though Shawn hadn’t seen him but Chuck was undeniably his favorite uncle. Helen wondered what he would do when he reached her side of the table. She feared somehow that he would ignore her or greet her dismissively like he had always done. That was before she sneaked into his bedroom and jumped him. It would be nothing short of what she deserved if he decided he didn’t want anything to with her again, she thought sadly

An excited laughter cut into her thoughts and got her looking up. Chuck was swinging Nma around, Helen couldn’t help the momentarily envy that engulfed her. She wanted that same treatment she realized, she wanted to be held in his arms, she wanted... this is not helping Helen said to herself. So with a sinking heart she watched as Uche came to his wife rescue neatly taking her from Chuck hands

‘Go find your own wife’ Uche said

 . Nma laughed gleefully.

‘You think that is going to earn you my forgiveness?’

‘I am so sorry Portable; I couldn’t come home for the dedication?’ Chuck apologized with a wink

Helen watching felt something tug at the roots of her hearts, if only… stop it! She cautioned herself. This would never be, even if Chuck remotely returned her feeling somehow,  it would still not matter unless her memories returned.

‘Portable?’ Amber wondered aloud.

Yes potable, Helen thought. it had just occurred to her that Chuck called Nma portable and she wondered what it meant and why she had never heard the nick name before now.

‘Chuck thinks with her height and her curves she is pocket size and had taken up calling her portable’

Amber laughed

Helen felt her heart sink lower; she had always suspected that there was a part of Chuck that was in love with Nma. Competing with Nma was a lost cause because Nma was all that she wasn’t. She knew how much he emphasized on Nma’s killer’s shape, beauty and charisma. Stop it! She screamed at herself silently. The right thing to do she told herself would be to leave the table so she could get a hold of erratic thoughts before she behaved or said something she would forever regret.

‘hmm! What a nick name’ amber reflected

Helen turned to her and managed a smile. She had to join the discussion to  stop eating him up with her eyes before anyone noticed

‘It fits’ Helen said but it came out in mere whisper if anybody heard they gave no indication. Uche decided at that very moment that his wife needed kissing.

‘Show off’ Chuck laughed and turned to Amber

‘Amber make me the happiest man on earth and marry me, we could compete with those two, give them a run for their love’

‘I am a grandmother and too old for you’

‘You don’t look a day beyond thirty’

Amber laughed ‘Now that’s a comforting thought’

Helen tried to stay current with the conversation but it seemed impossible because she couldn’t help being disappointed that he once more acted like he didn’t know her.

He had said hi, kissed, and hugged everyone but her. Even the hated IJ got a reluctant hi from him. She hadn’t gotten not even a hug she thought miserably. She knew that he didn’t know she existed or cared but after what nearly happened this morning she expected at least the slightest acknowledgement from him. Who was she kidding, the man might have forgotten what happened this morning. Maybe he had chunked it down to another morning in Chuck Obi’s fabulous life. She was sure that having a girl fall out of nowhere into his bed was normal for him, Helen fumed inside wishing she was anywhere but sitting down stiffly and feeling invisible. Why she thought she wanted this man, she couldn’t tell, he was arrogant, prideful and insensitive. Yes she knew she wasn’t up to his class of girls but ignoring her in the midst of everyone was painful and thoughtless of him and she wanted nothing more than to leave the room but she couldn’t do that without drawing undue attention to herself. Or worst giving the arrogant pig the impression that she was running away or that his deliberate insult got to her.

Suddenly she felt a hand touch and squeeze her shoulder. Chuck, her heart leaped in joy.

‘Saving the best for last’ he bent down and whispered into her ears. Helen couldn’t help the shudder that ran through her body as his breath kissed her skin.

‘I believe we have unfinished business; She should say something, anything to dissuade him or to get people from wondering what he was saying to her but her mind was clear of all thought and she was incapable of the barest of thoughts.

‘I have been looking forward to seeing you  and have been afraid that you would decide not to show up’ he dropped a kiss and left her alone to make sense of what he said.

Helen looked up at the others afraid that they somehow heard or saw but everyone was engrossed in what they were doing and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she sneaked a look at him and he caught her eyes and held it. Helen couldn’t look away. He was truly the definition of a Greek god, no man had the right to be this handsome. No man should be allowed to have this kind of powerful hold on a woman, the way he had on her. Helen felt her mouth water then go dry, she had wet her lips. Misunderstanding the act, he winked and toasted her with the bottle of water he had taken from the fridge.

She needed rescuing, Helen thought. Chuck thought that the weekend was the perfect venue to finish what happened this morning and she was very afraid because she didn’t know if she could resist him if he made a move on her. One thing was clear she didn’t have control of her senses or body when he was around. So she needed something or someone to save her from what would turn out to be the biggest mistake of her life. She didn’t want to be his lover, that is a lie, her mind whispered. Okay yes she wanted to be his lover but she didn’t want to be his weekend lover, an itch that had to be scratched and soon forgotten. Besides even if he offered her the world which to her meant marriage to him, she would still turn him down because of her lost memories. Marriage? Helen that is the definition of pipe day dream, all Chuck wanted was to satisfy his curiosity and nothing more. She needed to do something to save herself from the shame that might come later on if she couldn’t resist him. Maybe she should leave, leave now and save herself. If she did that, Nma would be hurt and confused, that she wouldn’t ever do that to Nma.

The house keeper ushering someone in got her looking up and then she smiled. Somehow she could believe there was someone up there who was watching and listening.

‘Dave’ Helen said and got up to give him a hug and kiss. If Dave was surprised at her enthusiastic greeting, he didn’t show it. He held on to her and kissed her more and longer than she intended.

Chuck watched the scene with a feeling he couldn’t begin to understand. A feeling he didn’t care to put into words. He only came to the bitter conclusion that no woman was different. They were all the same ready to drop their pants at the sight of a bigger fish no matter how deep their commitment to someone else was. He felt eyes on him and caught Uche watching him; he smiled at him, and rolled his shoulder dismissively. Then he noticed Star, ever since he came in, he only had eyes for Helen and no one else. Had he not tried to stop himself from rushing to her by making sure he greeted her last?  And all the while he didn’t know that the little tramp had a boyfriend. He dismissed his confused feeling from his mind and turned to Star, if there was a woman who had been consistent in what she felt for him, it was Star,

‘Who’s your friend?’ Someone asked

She turned to the group and introduced Dave to all.

‘I know you’ Uche said

‘Your family own the biggest chain of malls around here’

‘Guilty as charged’ Dave smiled

Rich as well as handsome, Chuck thought but caught himself in time. What business of his was it if the boy was rich or not. From the time he laid his lips on her, he had decided that he was welcome to her. He didn’t want a woman who could profess to love someone and then kiss another without a thought. He heaved a sigh and wondered why he was so angry at the moment. Refusing to believe what his mind was telling, he began distracting himself by talking to Star

‘So you are the black sheep that refused to join the family business’ Stanley said

‘Yes that would be me’ Dave answered and sat down on Helen’s seat,

‘I will get you another seat Miss’ the house keeper said

‘Please don’t trouble yourself’ Dave said and drew Helen down to sit on him.

Helen sat down not knowing what to do, had she bitten out more than she could chew. Had she over done it in her bid to tell Chuck that she was not one of those silly girls that fell over themselves to sleep with him? Would she now have to fight Dave off? It would serve her right. This was the typical example of falling from frying pan to fire, she said to herself and looked at Chuck and their eyes met but gone was the cockiness, the longing and desire she had seen in his eyes before for her. All she could see was resentment and cool dismissal. That startled her and she began to wish that she didn’t over do it with Dave. Somehow with her foolishness she had brought back the Chuck she used to know. The Chuck who didn’t care to know she existed.

‘Okay everyone, I guess we are all here, let’s proceed to the beach’ Nma said jovially

People began to get up

Helen felt she should make amends, she felt that Chuck needed some kind of explanation. She wasn’t thinking right, she was aware of that but somehow she didn’t want this Chuck that didn’t care if she existed. She wanted back the Chuck that wanted her.

‘Go ahead Dave, I have a little thing to take care of’ she smiled at him

‘If you say so honey’ he replied and dropped a kiss on lips before she could turn away.

Perfect, she said to herself. How do you do it Helen, you should be given award for always finding the worst situation to dump yourself. As soon as Dave cleared the door, she turned and saw that the kitchen was empty except for Chuck who was getting another bottle of water from the fridge.

‘You want some water?’ he said turning to her

‘No I… I wanted to explain about Dave’

He smiled and patted her shoulder ‘I don’t care’

Let it go Helen, don’t embarrass yourself more than this, but at that point having him understand seemed more important, having him look at her with passion again was worth the embarrassment, she thought.

‘I am you must be wondering who he is after what happened this…’

‘Yes you right I did but that was before I figured it all out’ he stopped on his way out of the door.

‘For a moment there I thought you were actually different’

He winked at her and left.

Helen watched him leave, trying with success to stifle a sob. She found the nearest seat, gasping for breath as pain, anguish and shame shot through her. She had him and didn’t even know it. For a fleeting moment she had her heart desire and didn’t even know it, till she lost it. No, she said, if that was true, if he felt anything more than the usual, it was not possible even for him to just shut out.

With that she stood up to join the party, determined to find out what his true feelings for her were.

EVERY WAKING MOMENT




CHAPTER SIX



Uche looked up as Chuck entered in his office looking the devil may care in his designers jeans and T-shirts, his long hair tied at the back. Diamond dotted earrings on both ears. Uche got to his feet to give his long childhood friend a hug.
“How was your flight?”
“Uneventful”
“So how are you and Nma but mostly how is my godson?”
“You are lucky you came back because your godson has been asking me every other minute if you are back and coming and Nma would have killed you if you had disappointed him yet again”
“I promised him and I keep my promise”
“And congratulation again on the hat trick that won you the trophy”
Chuck laughed “You know I am glad because recently I have been thinking of retiring”
Uche looked up sharply “You are still in superb form”
“Yea right”
“Are you alright, you are not sick or something?”
“Of course not, just thinking that’s all, you know I’d like to pay some attention to my business”
“Your fans will miss you not to talk of the girls”
Chuck laughed “I have not decided yet”
“Have you seen Stanley?”
“One thought Ijeoma and I found myself turning the stirring”
“I don’t want the two of you going for each other’s throat tonight”
“Doesn’t it bother you that the girl is just milking him dry, she doesn’t love him, she only cares for the diamonds, holidays abroad, credit cards?”
“It does but Stanley doesn’t see it that way and till he does, I am not going to chase my friend away because of a worthless girl”
“Someone ought to make him see”
“He is a big boy, some mistakes are better experienced, just like some lessons, besides he is rich enough to afford her, he was just named the second richest man in Africa”
Chuck shook his head “I give up, I am not worried about his bank account, I am worried about his heart”
Uche laughed “Why not worry more about yours; I hear you came back alone?”
Chuck sat back and relaxed, giving his friend a dismissal smile
“What can I say?’
“Don’t tell me she is history?”
“Well it didn’t work out”
“Who are you bringing to the party then?”
“No one for now, but you know me, I had a surprise this morning and I am considering someone”
“Star?”
“No, I can’t date her tried as much as I could maybe because she used to sleep with you”
“We never slept together Chuck and she is a good person”
“Unfortunately she is not the surprise I had this morning” Chuck smiled “Jeez nothing to do for fun around here”
“That’s because some people actually work you know
Chuck chuckles
“So who is this surprise?”
“Can you imagine me and Helen?”
“Nma’s Helen?”
Chuck nods
“No! No! No! Not Helen, you can’t!”
Chuck frowned “If you were not happily married I would have started suspecting you”
“Chuck I know you and the rate you go through women, she is not in your league”
“Like you were not worse than me before you found an angel and had the good sense to marry her”
“Helen is a keeper, you only go after her if you are ready to commit, and she is not the holiday kind of a girl”
“She is a big girl and who knows maybe she is what I need to make a commitment”
Chuck got up
“I thought you came to supervise how your money is growing?”
“Yep but I have changed my mind. How do you guys manage it, sitting at a place for hours?”
He winked and left.
Uche watched him leave… then he remembered Chuck and Helen, he was suddenly wishing that Helen would be what his friend needed to make a commitment.

Helen knew it was time to go if she wanted to make it to the party but some how she couldn’t find the strength to get up from her sitting position. She was dreading the party and at the same time looking forward to it. It wasn’t just the party she was dreading, it was Chuck, it was hard to believe that she was looking forward to seeing him and at the same time dreading it. She didn’t have the foggiest idea of what to say to him or how to act when she would see him again. She wondered if he was thinking about that kiss the same way she has been thinking about it. She could still feel herself being crushed to the wall and being kissed senseless, her body on fire wanting more. She couldn’t believe she wanted more of those hot kisses but somehow she knew she might not be getting them again ever. She wasn’t just his type; guys like Chucks don’t fall for a nobody like her. She was just Nma’s staff and nothing more, she sighed. She wished, what did she wish? She asked herself, that things were different? No she cautioned herself. Things are the way they are for a reason; she lost her memories for a reason. She came to work for Nma for a reason. If only she could find out what these reasons were maybe she would believe a little that someone like Chuck might actually fall in love with her. That he would spend the whole day thinking about their kiss and devise ways to kiss her again. She sighed again but it all seemed like pipe dreams to her. It’s nothing but a dream that would never come true. She was Helen, a fictitious name she picked up. Even if Chuck was to love her, she could never love him back unless her memories came back. After all she could be somebody’s wife or mother or fiancée for all she knew.
A cough sounded from the door and she looked up sharply and found Nma by the door.
“Are you alright” Nma asked concerned, she had been watching Helen for a time and saw series of bitter emotion pass through her face and she wondered again, how little she knew about Helen.
“I am fine thank you” Helen answered trying to smile “is it time already”
Nma nodded “I thought you would like a ride to Eden or is prince charming picking you up?”
“Prince charming?”
Nma laughed “I told you your time would come and I will tease you as mercilessly as you teased me”
“You are mistaken, he is not my prince charming, I just met him”
“Just, who was it flirting with him during our last show?”
Helen laughed “Okay you win but he is not my prince charming and he is not picking me up, so thanks for the ride”
“You are welcome”
Helen stood up and followed Nma out, dreading every step she took.

Helen looked out of the window of Nma’s metallic black Mercedes G-wagon. She watched the scenery but not seeing it. She had never dreaded going to Nma’s house before but today was different. She was afraid of everything that could go wrong, she was afraid of making a fool of herself over Chuck. She wanted this party over and done with so she could go back to figuring out who she was. She had let it slide for too long. Before she had been afraid of what she would find, too afraid of the man in the mask and later too afraid of telling Nma because she had left it for too long. But she was no longer afraid. She was going to do a lot research, she would visit specialists. No matter what it took, she would find out who she was. Then she sighed, she also had to figure out a way to tell Nma. She heaved another smile.
‘If I didn’t know any better, I would think that you don’t want to come to my house’ Nma said staring at her briefly before turning to road
‘Of course I wouldn’t miss Shawn’s party for the world’
‘Glad to hear it but something is bothering you Helen’
‘Really I am fine Nma, I think I have been over doing it, trying to impress you, Amber and your mother in law is not an easy undertaking’
Nma smiled ‘Whenever you are ready to talk about it, I am here’
‘I am sorry’ Helen said lamely
Of course Nma would see through her lies. She wanted to tell her badly but the time was not right. She would tell her when… you had better make it soon before she finds out by herself her mind whispered. Knowing Nma she could just figure it out just like that. Helen stifled another sigh. She would tell Nma but not a visit to a doctor, taking the first step of finding out who she was, then she would have enough to tell her.
Helen turned to Nma and smiled hesitantly ‘it is not like I don’t want to tell you but I need to figure it out a little bit in my mind first’
Nma squeezed her hands and nodded as she drew to a stop in front of the castle that was Eden.

Coming out of the car, Helen could hear a pair tiny feet running towards them and shouting ‘Mama! Mama!’ the tiny feet ran into his mother’s already spread hands. Nma gave her son a hug and kissed him all over.
‘Where is Grandma?
‘Hello Love’ Helen said
‘ta hinhin’ the boy exclaimed and jumped down his mother’s body and into Helen’s hands

BEAUTY TIPS

8 TIPS TO SMOOTHER, FRESHER AND GLOWING SKIN.

Ladies I do not believe anyone is ugly, I just believe we need a little maintenance or if you like help to maintain what we have.

So here are eight tips to help you skin glow.

 1. Water
One of the most important things you can do for smooth and glowing skin is drink plenty of water. Your aim should be to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Water helps the body flush out toxins and waste. However, avoid sugary drinks, alcohol and carbonated drinks. try to eat fruits and vegetables that are high in water content.

2. Slather on the sunscreen.
We know you've heard it a million times, but wearing sunscreen is the single easiest way to look younger for life. "Ninety percent of wrinkles are from sun exposure. don't stop not even during rainy seasons or winter months either, when rays are just as strong and can reflect off of buildings and sidewalks. Look for a formula that offers broad-spectrum protection to guard against UVA rays (the ones that cause premature aging) and UVB rays (one of the main causes of skin cancer).

3.Wash your face twice a day with a soap free cleanser.
It is important to remove oil and dirt from your skin. Also, remove make up before going to bed. If you sleep with make up on, your skin is more likely to breakout and become dull. Most of us are too lazy or sleepy to use a make up remover before bed and then wash the face. Face wipe is the easiest way to cleanse your skin. That means you don’t have to use a make up remover if you use wipes. If washing your face is over-drying the skin, you can use gram flour mixed with water.

4.Exfoliate
If you really want smooth skin, get rid of the dead, flaky skin on the surface.
Regular exfoliation speeds up the cell turnover process, allowing the body to produce moisture-bearing properties like hyaluronic acid. Exfoliation also helps to plump the skin by churning up elastin and collagen production. Too much exfoliation can be overkill, though. Just once a week is enough

5.Moisturise
Use a moisturiser daily to maintain the skin’s moisture content. Even more special care should be taken in winters, harmartan etc. the skin tends to become dry fast because of the cold. So you should massage your body twice or thrice a day with moisturiser during these seasons.


6.Lemon Juice
Lemon juice can be used to cleanse your skin, lighten spots and scars, as well as soften and smooth it.
This citrus-rich fruit contains cleansing enzymes that remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and fresher. With its excellent astringent properties, lemon is a great natural cleanser for people who have oily skin.

7.Clean your makeup brushes.
 A British study found that 72% of women never wash their brushes or sponges, even though they harbor dirt and bacteria which can cause breakouts. "You should wash loose powder brushes every two to three weeks, and those used to apply foundation once a week," says Jessica Wu, an LA-based dermatologist and author of Feed Your Face. Mix a couple of drops of gentle facial cleanser or shampoo and lukewarm water in a cup, swish your brushes around, rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry, and lay flat to air dry.

8.Stay out of hot water.
 A steamy shower may feel great, but it's one of the worst things you can do for your skin. Not only does the heat strip essential oils, but it creates a mild burn. Blood vessels respond by dilating in an effort to cool the skin, causing flushing and ruddiness. "When you're in your twenties, you can take a hot shower, be red & swollen and recover in an hour, but in your thirties, it may take 2 hours,"

WHEN THE HEART KNOWS


CHAPTER FIVE



Chuck came into the kitchen looking for Collins but the fool was sitting down and having a healthy breakfast protected by the bulky housekeeper, cook and the closest thing they have to a mother. He stood thinking of the best way to get to his brother and give him the beating he deserved without having to go through May.
“Good morning Chuck, if that is a scowl I see on your face, you had better head back to bed and get more sleep and see about waking up from the right side this time”
He walked over and gave May a kiss and hug. “I assure you I am quite fine” he stylishly walked past her heading to Collins who was wolfing down food like a starving man.
“Has she gone? So soon?” what he got for answer made him want to howl to moon. And he gave in to that desire
“What did you do your brother?”
“Nothing he didn’t deserve”
May came to examine Collins with her spatula in one hand. She bent over Collins who then pretending to be in pains.
“Are you alright?” she asked gently
“No May, I feel I am going to die the next minute”
She turned to Chuck her spatula raised. He gave a dazzling smile, “come on May you are not going to believe that actor”
“Do you want to kill him?”
“I assure it will take more than a blow to do that but he let in a strange woman into my bed room this morning”
May stopped and turned to Collins. Collins knowing that the table had turned against him stood up immediately all traces of pain gone.
“You did what?”
Collins gave her a good distance and smiled at her
“That devilish smile of yours is not going to save you. I am no blushing girl”
“But you love me all the same…remember when my brute of brother leaves us here all by ourselves who takes care of you? Collin winked at her. May sighed with humor
Chuck rolled his eyes. “That’s it, that’s what he gets for allowing a girl into my room while I was still asleep and the girl was going through my drawers?” he didn’t want to tell her that but somehow he wanted May to stop spoiling an already spoilt man.
“What?”
“She said Nma sent her to you and you were still asleep and…”
“You will not do such again do you know how many girls I turn away everyday?”
“She seemed different” Collins said lamely
Well you could say that Chuck thought remembering the feel of her body in his hands and the feel of her soft lips. Then it dawned on him that he wanted more of her and he smiled. He was suddenly looking forward to his godson's birthday party. May’s voice cut into his thought and he then noticed that they have been speaking to him
“What?’ he asked
“Judging by that smile I would safely say he enjoyed every minute of finding her in his bedroom”
“Watch your mouth young man, what happened?”
He shrugged and snatching a roll from the basket. “She has gone, it turned out that she was not a thief but….”
They watched him pour himself a juice and began eating
“But what…?”
“I told you, I know my brother he should be thanking me for waking him up in an enjoyable fashion” a look from May shut him up.
“Don’t worry May, she was really from Nma but my problem is that I should have been informed before sending her to my room”
“And spoil your fun” Collins said
“Must you always think with your balls?” Chuck rejoined
“You two mind your language”
“So how come you met her at the gate?”
  May turned to Collins
“Are you still taking off every night?”
“Check mate” Chuck said and left Collins to May’s wrath
“I went jogging”
“In a car?” Chuck asked from the door
“Touché big bro”
“Well young man”
Chuck laughed as he headed back to his room. Collins appetite for clubbing was something nobody knew how to handle. Most times his friends who had to drag him home drunk. He didn’t know what to do about the boy. And he didn’t want to be too harsh with him. He might just decide to go back to his mother. He fisted his hands when it shook. It was really annoying that he should feel this way about his mother after all these years. He became even angrier when he saw his hands shake with anger and hatred he felt for his mother. He marched into the adjourning bathroom determined to wash the thoughts from his mind.

Helen didn’t let herself think till she walked into her studio. She closed the door and leaned on it. Then her body began to shake. She stifled a moan. But what did she expect? Did she think she was going to come out with a romantic confession from him, Chuck was Chuck. Women threw themselves at him on a daily basis. How did she loose control of her body? She didn’t have any memories of being with a man before but it seemed what her mind couldn’t remember her body never forgot.
On shaky legs she found her seat and sat down, feeling ashamed and at the same time awesome. It was a very confusing feeling. And she didn’t want to deal with that. Rather she thought of how she was going to face Chuck when they meet again at Nma’s place. Chagrined she rested her head on the table and moaned aloud. She was sure he was going to see her as another silly girl giving her right eye for his attention and that was never her intention. She wanted to be seen as this cool, collected and respectable woman who couldn’t careless who he was or what he did. But all she ended up doing was jumping the man at the first chance she got like some sex starved nymphomaniac. She groaned again, maybe she was sex starved, her memories has been gone for almost three years and she might have had an over active sex life before that. Maybe she had a husband, or a fiancés or children. It dawned on her and she was then really ashamed of the fact that she might be a married woman with children; she couldn’t commit adultery no matter what. Every fantasy she had for Chuck should end.
 If only she could remember even the tiniest bit. She tried to think but met nothing but dark nothingness; she wiped a tear of frustration and at that instant. Nma threw the door open and entered.
Helen at that moment tried to compose herself. Then she looked up and smiled at Nma. Nma was her boss, business partner and only friend in the world. Close to two years ago she married Uche Okoha then the sexiest, richest and most eligible bachelor in the country.  Their romance and marriage was a novel idea and talk of the whole country. Nma was a very beautiful woman petite and superb. She was wearing a black and white body con gown which clung to her body like second skin. Even after giving birth there was not even an ounce of excess flesh on her body. Helen envied her body, her charisma and confidence but she was her only friend and Helen loved her with all heart.
“Hello love! You look amazing” Nma exclaimed
Helen smiled “thank you, but you are simply amazing”
Nma smiled and peered into Helen face. Helen was instantly alarmed. She had forgotten how perceptive Nma could be.
“Do you want something?” that was lame she scolded herself. This whole place belonged to Nma and she could be where ever she chose.
“Not really but I found someone wandering the show room below, looking for you
Helen looked up sharply; her heart skipped several beats and began to beat erratically.
“Who?”
“Why should I tell you and spoil the fun” Nma laughed and she came nearer and whispered
“Now you have a date for the thing tonight” she winked and walked to the door
Helen was trying to figure what she would do if the person turned out to be Chuck but she doubted Chuck would want her as his date not after her shameful display this morning. He might probably be afraid that she might jump him in front of the whole party should he risk escorting her. She was pulled back to reality when Nma came back with a different man. Helen breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time highly disappointed that the fellow wasn’t Chuck.
“You remember him, don’t you?” enthused Nma
Helen tried to remember him
He was a very handsome guy, well built with an arrogant carriage and confidence that spoke old money. She wondered where she had met him before.

“It’s been sometime really but I am Dave, I modeled some of your collection before?”
“Oh yea! Of course I remember the trust fund baby turned model.”
“Ouch!” he exclaimed jovially “I told you I will back didn’t I”
Helen smiled “I told you I might not be available”
“I will leave you guys to it then” Nma smiled and winked at Helen as she left but stopped as she got to the door. “I am hoping you come to my barbecue party this evening, both of you”
“Party?”
“Helen will fill you in” Nma left shutting the door
Helen turned to her admirer.
“So you are back in the country”
“Yes, so are you available?”
“For a date to her party yes, for any other thing, we will see”
He smiled and sat down
“Fair enough, so what is she celebrating?”
“Her son’s one year birthday tomorrow and a kind of meet and greet tonight, nothing very fancy”
“Okay great, I understand they have this awesome beach all to themselves” he smiled
“They do”
“I am glad we are going to together, you are different you know”
“How different”
“Cant lay my fingers on it but it is there and it sets you apart from millions of others and believe me, I have seen many”
“Thanks”
“So I will pick you up?”
“I will be going home with Nma after work so let’s meet there.”
‘Okay’
‘Let me warn you, she lives on the outskirt, don’t know if you appreciate driving back to town that late’ Helen said hedging.
“What about you, wouldn’t it be late for you too”
“I will be spending the night”
“I have a friend who lives nearby there so I guess I will crash at his place”
“Cool we will meet there then?”
“it was nice hooking up with you again”
“Same here”
“See you tonight”
He got up “I will leave you to concentrate on your work”
Helen watched him leave confused
“What just happened” she asked aloud.
Here was she musing over Chuck and this hunk just asked her for a date. Wow! She couldn’t believe it. She was happy that she was not going alone and have Chuck flaunt his super model all over the place. This will tell him that she didn’t have any designs on him, not when she would have a handsome, rich hunk her boyfriend by her side. Suddenly she was looking forward to barbecue
Happily she brought out her sketch pad and began to sketch, wondering again how easy this business came to her. She was sure that when she got her memories back, she would find out that she was a designer or an artist.

RELATIONSHIPS

10 SIGNS TO SHOW HE LOVES YOU.

When in relationship, it is often difficult to know if you partner loves you. Even when he/she says he does, there is still that doubt in your heart and mind if he truly does.
Well stop second guessing yourself, here are some hard to miss tips that he loves you.


1. He looks up the movie you've been waiting to see and surprises you with a date night. He might not want to see it, but he sits with you and watch like he did.

2 He touches you in public
Most guys have no qualms about touching their girlfriends in private. With public displays of affection, however, they can be a little more hesitant. When your man puts his arm around you in public, he’s both proudly announcing to the world that you’re together and making a protective gesture. Another love gesture: when he starts offering the hugs and cuddles you crave, with no expectation of sex. He wants to serve you with physical touch, not use it just to get what he wants.
3. He wants you to hang out with his friends. This might be hell for you, but he really wants you around.

4. “We” has replaced “I”

Listen to his word choices. When he starts using words like “we,” “us,” and “Team Awesome” — Each guy will have his own way to describe the unit you’ve become — he’s not thinking of himself as a single man anymore. You’re now part of his life. And he loves that.


5. He compliments you when you're not wearing makeup, he might not even notice you're not wearing makeup. Means he loves you, the real you, he sees and loves you beyond your physical beauty.

6. He says "I love you" and means it. Remember that there's a big difference between "Love ya!" and "I love you." If your special someone really loves you and tells you this much while looking into your eyes, sounding earnest, and not wanting anything from you, then it's likely that he really means it.
If the person undeniably loves you, then he'll say it for no reason at all, not just because he needs a favor or because it feels like the right thing to say.

7. He Stops Getting Quite so Many Texts From Others
Girls only text guys that text them back, right? So if she stops texting, it means he did, too. Or it means he put his foot down and told all the other girls he got a girl. Now—that's not an easy thing to do! You have to be pretty sure you want out of the dating pool before you drain it entirely. It means he is sure about you and loves you.

8. Passionate, Long-Lasting Kisses
Who doesn't love an excellent, lengthy kiss? When he's continuously initiating these and you can feel the passion each time he does, it is clear that he's more than just a little excited to be around you

9. He supports your dreams. You might have crazy plans to be the next Top Model, or take over from Oprah Winfrey when she retires. Or to sell millions of records and be the most famous pop star. One of the signs he loves you is that he never laughs at your dreams, no matter how insane they look. He is always behind you to support your decisions. Your boyfriend goes the extra mile to help you out when it comes to realizing your dreams. He treats your targets as they were his. Not because he doesn’t have his own dreams, but he wants to team up with you. Your boyfriend feels that this is a great way to come even closer to you and show how much he cares about you. But plans don’t go always as planned and you both know it. Not a problem! One of the undeniable signs he loves you is that he has a tissue ready when you fail and realise how high you set the bar. He never says “I told you so”. On the contrary, he will be super supportive and will try to cheer you up, doing what you love best.

10. He wants to meet your friends and family and does his best to impress them. He takes you to meet his family and wants his family to love you. He mentions your good qualities  to them.

AMBER ROMANCE, LIFESTYLE

EIGHT WAYS TO BURN ABDOMINAL FAT.
Belly fat is maligned for its way of tampering with any outfit that doesn't involve a bubu, but really there's something much worse about it and that is it could kill you.  When white fat nestles in your abdomen, nestling deep among your organs, it sets you up for some serious health trouble. We now know that this type of fat, called visceral fat, churns out stress hormones like cortisol and inflammatory substances called cytokines that affect the body's production of insulin, this is worse than just being generally overweight; you're looking at increased risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
But if you follow these eight ways strictly you might just save yourself from serious health issues and your clothes would fit better.

1. NEVER STOP MOVING
There's one thing to like about visceral fat: It yields fairly easily to aerobic exercise. Vaporizing calories via running, biking, swimming—anything that gets your heart rate up is better than resistance training when it comes to getting rid of abdominal fat.

2. EAT PROTEIN
Of course you know that protein's essential for a slimmer you but here's why protein really needs to play a prime roll on your plate: "Your body starts to produce more insulin as you age, since your muscle and fat cells aren't responding to it properly, insulin promotes fat storage, especially around your belly. A diet high in protein may protect you against insulin resistance.

3. GO FOR POLYUNSATURATED OIL
Saturated fat packs on more visceral fat than polyunsaturated ones, according to a Swedish study published this past February. When subjects ate 750 more calories daily for seven weeks, either in the form of palm oil (saturated) or sunflower oil (polyunsaturated), the former gained more visceral fat while the latter gained more muscle mass and less body fat. Polyunsaturated fats are the ones in nuts, seeds, and fish.

4. TAKE VINEGAR
Obese people who consumed a tablespoon or two of vinegar daily for eight weeks showed significant decreases in body fat, particularly visceral fat, according to a 2009 Japanese study. "One theory is that the acetic acid in the vinegar produces proteins that burn up fat,"

5. YOGA
Post menopausal women who tried yoga for 16 weeks reported significant reductions in visceral fat in one 2012 study. If you're just not any sort of relaxation exercise, even simple deep breathing, can help—the key is to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which is linked to belly fat.

6. SLEEPING CAN MAKE OR MAR YOU
Routinely squeaking by on five hours or less per night increases visceral fat levels,  As you likely already know, 8 is the number to aim for.
Women who wake up and go to bed at the same time each evening have lower levels of body fat, according to a recent Brigham Young University study. Chaotic sleep habits cause your internal clock to go haywire, which in turn causes your body to secrete fat-storing hormones like cortisol.

7. DRINK TEA LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF FASHION
Moderate exercisers who stocked up on the antioxidants found in green tea, called catechins, are  more likely to lose abdominal fat while exercising than those who didn't take them. One study put the daily dose at 625 mg, the equivalent of two or three eight-ounce cups of green tea.

8. EAT FOOD HIGH IN FIBER
As in, make sure you're eating a lot of it. In a 2011 trial, subjects who increased their soluble fiber intake by 10 grams a day (the equivalent of two small apples, one cup of green peas, and one half cup of pinto beans) reduced visceral fat by 3.7% after five years.

AMBER ROMANCE, EVERY WAKING MOMENT

AMBER ROMANCE

EVERY WAKING MOMENT

CHAPTER FOUR



She froze with horror! Oh! Please this can’t be happening, what was she going to do? Run, run, her mind screamed at her. It echoed all around her. She could hear her mind screaming the same words to her some other time when she faced another man what seemed like two life times ago, the masked man in her dream. Slowly she turned to face him and the look she saw frightened her. She was not seeing Chuck but was relieving as if in a blind fold a horror that had remained blank in her mind. The man moved and she panicked and she made a sudden mad dash for the door but Chuck was anticipating that exact move and he was on her before she could open the door but to his surprise the girl started fighting with all her power to escape him. He restrained her as best as he could but she proved to be quite strong for the slender girl that she was. In her struggle the two of them fell to the ground. Chuck found himself landing on top of the girl and she winced loudly with pain because of the impact of his weight. She quit struggling
“You are crushing me you moron”
Chuck couldn’t believe it, the girl had the audacity to speak let alone call him names. She tried to struggle again
“It won’t do you any good” he told her “I am not letting you up till you tell me who you are and what you are doing here?”
She was breathing hard, trying to catch her breath before she tried explaining but it was difficult to draw a breath let alone speak, the guy was resting his whole weight on her…but somehow it felt nice to have his hard body pressing down her. How many times had she dreamed of this?
"Answer me!”
“First of all” she began “you are killing me and I have not mastered the act of staying in this kind of provocative situation with man while I tried to explain myself to him”
Chuck then noticed their position. He was lying fully on top of her and she was really too small and very soft. He felt a stirring in his loins which quite surprised him. He looked at her face. She had very beautiful lips, quivering and begging to be kissed. Without thinking he swooped down and stole her lips in a kiss.
At first she was too stunned to react, her first instinct was to protest and she opened her mouth to do exactly but that was exactly was Chuck was waiting for. As he deepened the kiss, Helen felt her control slipping away and she held on to him.
Chuck knew the exact moment he won the battle, so he relaxed the hold he had on her lifted her.
Helen didn’t notice when he lifted her. So lost was she in the soul searing kiss. But when her back touched something soft and when she felt his hands searching for her zipper, reality returned. What was she doing?
“Where is the zipper?” chuck asked huskily
“Get off me! What are you doing?"
Her words didn’t register at first so he bent to kiss her some more. He had never felt like this before with any woman. But she turned her face away
“Is this how you treat all who come to steal from you or is it just me?”
He stopped immediately and gave her the full impact of his green eyes.
“Well not all who come to steal from me are this hot and begging for it”
“I am begging for nothing except that you get off me so I can draw a good breath”
It hit him all over again how small she was against his body and how well she fit in there. But he must be crushing her as well. So he shifted his weight a little. And exhaled, what just happened, he asked himself. The girl was a thief for crying out loud…she came to steal from him and all he could think was tossing her skirts over her head and making mindless love to her? Disgusted with himself and got up from bed and walked round to face her.
She stared at him and dropped her eyes unfortunately they landed on the unbuttoned  jeans and she wondered if she had done that in frenzy to to…she couldn’t even say what possessed her to jump Chuck Obi the way she did. Now he must think she was a thief and worst a whore too. She shuddered again and wondered if it was still possible to escape.
Chuck followed her eyes to the door
“Don’t even think about it, or this time around we might not stop at just a few kisses”
“Why did you kiss me?” she didn’t know who was more shocked at her words where did that come from. She asked herself, calling herself all kinds of fool.
Good question Chuck thought but irrelevant at the moment. In his saner moment he could ask himself that
“Don’t play smart because I am the one asking the questions, how did you get in here?”
“Through the gates”
“You expect me to believe that the security allowed you in without my permission”
“No they didn’t but your brother allowed me”
“Why would he do that?”
She shrugged “I guess you should ask him”
“So who are you and what do you want to steal from me?”
“I assure you I am not a thief and it is your fault that I am here looking through your things”
Incredulous, he couldn’t believe it, “So how is it my fault that you sneak into my house and go through my things”
“Well you don’t recognize me, we have met severally and this is not the first time you are stealing a kiss from me. The first time I left something behind, I came to get it.
His eyes dropped to her lips again.
“Who are you?”
She stood up “Helen Nma’s co designer” she smiled as recognition hit him at last.
“Mousy Helen?”
She was shocked at the nick name and hurt. It hurt so much that he called her that; she wanted to hurl herself at him. But then she felt a kind of confidence that was foreign to her
“Mousy must be to your liking then honey because you keep stealing kisses from me, and I know I should be flattered that Chuck Obi is having some kind of romantic affair with my lips but the fact that he kisses anything in skirt takes the romance out of it”
Chuck was shocked speechless for the first time in his life, he could only stare at her
“I came for my purse; I shall need it this evening for Nma’s son’s party”
Chuck chuckled and went to a drawer and brought out the purse.
Helen became a little disappointed, just like that; he was going to hand the purse over just like that. But wasn’t that what she wanted, she asked herself. No she answered herself she wanted more, but she couldn’t put her finger on what exactly is more.
“Here you go” he handed her the purse but took it back as she was about to take it from him.
“It seems as if you have gone through so much trouble to get this purse or is it to get kissed. I think you enjoy the fact that I steal kisses from you” he gave her that bone melting smile of his, his green eyes flashing mischievously.
What are you talking about? She asked hesitantly
“I think it is only fair you get all that you came here for today”
Helen began to shiver but she didn’t know if it was from fear or excitement.
“I only came to get my purse and I thought I could look for it myself instead of waking you”
“You are not a good liar”
He came to stand very close to her, she backed away and he followed, she continued to back away till her back touched the wall and her breath quickened when she saw the intense way he was staring at her.
“Ever since I stole that first kiss, you have not forgotten it, part of you came here today hoping I would kiss you again” he smiled when he saw her swallow
“Am I right” he asked and rubbed her lips with his thumb
Helen couldn’t have denied it if her life depended on it.
“Am I right because if you don’t answer I will not grant you your wish, I may have stolen two kisses from you before but I am yet to kiss you the way I kiss my women? So what is it going to be?”
The thought of him not kissing her was unbearable. Helen wasn’t thinking straight, all she wanted was to be held in his hands and she couldn’t remember a time she didn’t want that very thing since she saw him on television.
He kissed her eyes, her fore head, the side of her mouth, she turned her face to his lips, and he evaded her
“I need to hear the words first”
“Kiss me please”
And he kissed her, crushed her against the wall with his full weight. She clung to him because it felt like all her bone had melted. She felt like she was floating through galaxies bursting with lights and magic. She held on and tried to get closer to him as much as she could.
What started as punishment for her changed and he couldn’t tell who was punishing who? He wanted more than this kiss; he wanted this woman more than he wanted to breathe. He had never wanted like this ever in his life, not from any woman he had known. Yet in her hands he felt like he depended on her for breath. He wanted her forever; somehow the thought brought him back to life. He wrenched his lips from hers. They both stared at each other, breathing heavily.
Wordlessly he handed her purse and turned away from her. Helen looked at the purse and shame washed all over her. What possessed her to act like a cheap hussy? She wanted to say something; she wondered what was going through his mind. What would he think of her?
“I…I” she didn’t know what to say or what she wanted to happen
“You should leave, unless you want to spend the whole day on my bed” he turned to look at her then, smiling coyly all traces of passion gone “As much as I would like that, I have other things to do that are far more enjoyable”
Helen was shocked as shame washed over her anew. Without another word, she turned and left. Chuck sat down and closed him eyes, he wondered what was wrong with him? Who could have known that mousy Helen was this soft and yielding and giving, that she could make a man mindless with lust? He chuckled and that exact moment he remembered how she got in…he grabbed a shirt and went to see his fool of a brother.

AMBER ROMANCE, RELATIONSHIP

Amber Romance

Relationship

We all LOVE and MISS our partners, and telling them that is a great
way to express affection, but not the ONLY way.
After a while “I love you” and “I miss you” get quite old and lose
their meaning for our partner.
The good news is that you’re not limited to only these two
expressions of love and affection. There’s a lot more fun and
touching ways to compliment a girl and tell her much she means to
you.
Therefore below I’m going to share with you 7 ways to express your
affection beyond the usual “I miss you” and “I love you”.

7 compliments that will touch her heart and turn you into her prince
charming.

1. "I can’t stop thinking of you."
One thing I love to do sometimes when talking on Skype is to make
that face of defeat and say “Okaaay, I admit, I pretty much can’t
stop thinking of you, most of the time.”
This might be the only moment in our entire one hour conversation
when I would express my affection toward her. But because it was
such a cute and sweet way of letting her know about how much I miss her, she needs no more.
I don’t need to tell her that love her and that I miss her 5 times.
This one little line is more than enough.
You can also turn it into a text and say something along the lines
of “What did you do to me!?! I just can’t stop thinking of you! :*”

2. "How did I get so lucky!?" (to have you in my life)
You can’t imagine how GOOD it feels to hear that from the person you
love most. It’s such a beautiful way to acknowledge how much she
means to you and to make her feel special.
So go ahead and use it. And use it more often. Every time she does
something nice for you, say “Wow, how did I get so lucky!?” When you
are in public and she says something nice about you, say “How did I
get so lucky!?” When you’re having fun together and enjoying each
other’s presence say “How did I get so lucky!?”
You’ll make her feel loved and appreciated. And she’ll love you for that!

3. "You drive me crazy!" (in a good way)
Said with the right tone, this means that she just makes you crazy
about her. She just makes you feel in love and alive. And if that’s
true, go ahead and tell her that.
You’ll tell her that you love her tomorrow. Today tell her that “she
just drives you crazy!”.

4. "You’re just adorable!"
Isn’t this the sweetest compliment you could ever make to a woman?
I think it is. And she’ll think so too.
So don’t be shy to use it. And of course use it when appropriate,
like when she has that shy smile on her face, or when she’s prepared
something cute for you, or when she’s put some thought into how
she looks.
Make her feel like a little princess with this compliment.

5. "Nobody made me happier than you!"
With this compliment your comparing her to your previous girlfriends
and putting her way above them. And the truth is that women are
very competitive among themselves, so if you tell her that she’s the best
woman ever for you, that’s a BIG compliment. Trust me on that.
Use this one more often and remind her of how much you appreciate her.
By the way, you can also use a compliment like this to reinforce a
good behavior that she has. This way encouraging her to keep acting
that way in the future.

6. "God! You’re just perfect!"
For the special occasions you can make a big exclamation and tell
her “God! You’re just perfect!”
Thus letting her know that whatever she’s just done has had a huge
effect on you. And like the amazing guy that you are, you know how
to appreciate a good woman.
But, this is an important but… don’t use this too often, or she’ll
might take it too seriously.

7. "Come on, stop being so cute!"
And lastly, this is one of my favorite ways to tease and compliment
her at the same time. It’s a fun, playful way of spontaneously
adding some affection into an otherwise normal conversation.

So this is it.

Now you’re armed with 7 amazing phrases to tell your honey bee
and make her feel loved and special. Read them again, commit them to
memory and when the time is right tell her what she’s been dying to
hear for so long.
And guess what? She’ll love you for it.

Warning!

But one thing must be clear. As much as we want to make our partner
feel loved, we mustn’t overdo it. Because yes, it’s possible to
OVERDO it. Affection is like food. If you feed her too much the
stomach will start hurting. If you shower her with too much
affection she’ll take it for granted, and she’ll enjoy it less,
instead of more.

Therefore go make her happy, but don’t get too carried away.

And here's the amazing news that I've got for you:
Right now I am working on creating the ultimate guide for you to
have amazing conversations on Skype, phone or through text-
messaging.
It's going to be called "Always Know What To Say: 50 Ideas To Make
Your Conversations More Fun And Exciting!"
So in just a few weeks you'll be able to get this guide and learn
how to make your conversations fun, touching and exciting for you
and your partner.

AMBER ROMANCE

EVERY WAKING MOMENT

CHAPTER THREE


Helen stepped into the fresh cool morning air. It was a bit chilly because it rained the night before. It was still dark and there were flashes of lightening every now and then. She wondered why she thought of a sun glasses and not a jacket. Then again the weather was hardly predictable these days; it might just become sunny in few hours.
She took measure of her surrounding, usually that was the first thing she did whenever she entered a place or came outside.  She had taught herself to stop looking over her back but habits were hard to break, especially when you didn’t have your memories and felt constantly in danger. It didn’t help that her earliest memory was waking up in the streets beaten to half inch of her life.  Someone was after her but she also knew that but if the person hadn’t made a move on her after almost three years she doubted if the person would. That was if there was really someone after her. She shivered again but this time not out of cold but out dread. The constant feeling of being watched or being followed was always there. Without waiting another second she docked into the first taxi that stopped in front her and gave the driver directions.
Unlike her friend Nma she didn’t own a car. At first she couldn’t afford it, now that she could, she suspected almost every man she met as the imaginary person after her, so she couldn’t face car dealers and their over enthusiastic smiles.  She had taught herself to stop being afraid. She also wasn’t sure she could drive and she didn’t want to find out. She might wreck the car or get killed or kill someone.
“You could just learn to drive” she told herself, of course she could. She heaved a sigh, maybe somewhere in her past she was afraid of driving and probably there was a good reason for it. She sat back and relaxed, trying to shut off her busy mind. She needed all her wits about her if she was going to survive facing Chucks Obi.

Helen watched terrified as the taxi drew to a stop in font of the mansion that was Chuck's house. Her heart dropped to her feet when she saw the giant of a gate with a two uniformed guards stationed there. She never thought of a gate and guards, she never gave a thought of how she was going to get inside the building. She should be glad that the charade was not going to happen after all but she found that she was disappointed and she became quite confused about that. Shouldn’t she be happy that she might not have to face Chuck anymore? Helen sat back transfixed not knowing what to do. The more she thought about it the more she realized that she couldn’t go back. The purse was the only connection she had to her past and that made it more important than anything she had and would ever have at least until she remembered. What she needed was a believable fib to get herself past those guards. She could tell them she was a relative that would explain her coming this early. She discounted that when she remembered that Nma told her Chuck more or less an orphan his only living relative was his rascal younger brother. Okay she got it she told herself; she would say she was sent by Nma to give him an important message. What message she asked herself. What could be so important and urgent that Nma would send her instead of just calling, which saves time and energy?
She heaved a sigh. She should face it, it would not work, Chuck would be at Nma’s party later in the day, and she could cease that opportunity to ask him for it. The only thing wrong with that plan was that she might never get the chance to ask him, his super model white girlfriend would glue to him like poison ivy shooting eye daggers at any girl who came close.
“We are here madam?” the taxi man said to her impatiently cutting into her thoughts.
Helen took a deep breath. It was now or never. She was going to do it. There was no going back; this might be a beginning of a good thing for her. Maybe what the guy needed was to see her like this, dressed up, sophisticated and alone to fall for her. Shocked at herself, she grabbed her bag and began to rummage inside for money to pay the driver. Where had that thought come from?  She would not deny that a part of her wished for that but the reality was, she wasn’t his type. Chuck dated voluptuous beauties. How is it possible that a man who is used to the most beautiful woman there are in the world would fall her? She laughed aloud but stopped when the driver gave her a look that suggested she wasn’t normal.
She quickly paid the man and came down on shaky legs and let out her breath as she walked towards the mansion. She stilled her thoughts as she stood and face one of the guards. Helen flashed him her million dollar smile hoping to soften the ground but the man didn’t bulge one bit, she decided to try the straight forward way.
“Good morning, I am here to see Mr. Chuck Obi”
“Who are you?” the asked her harshly
Helen almost forgot her name “I am Helen, from Nma”
“Is he expecting you?”
“Not exactly but Nma that is Mrs. Okoha said she will call ahead”
“Wait here”
The man went inside and Helen released her pent up breath. That was easy she thought. The lie made it all easy. Then she began to feel guilty. She shouldn’t have brought Nma into her scheme, what if Chuck called Nma to verify her story. Geez good work Helen, she said to herself in disgust. That would surely endear the man to her. She stopped; she wasn’t here to endear the man to herself.  She was here to get her purse simple and nothing more.
The man came out at that precise moment. Okay here comes the verdict, Helen prepared herself to enter the world of Chuck Obi.
“I am sorry miss but Mr. Obi is still sleeping and cannot be woken. You will have to come back”
The blow was surprising and disappointing, after all the trouble she had gone through to get here. She couldn’t just go back empty handed.
“No! I cant I have to get to work now”
“You can come after work”
“After work is Uche and Nma’s party”
“I am sure Mr. Obi would be there, that will solve the problem, good day miss”
The man began to turn around
“Hey come back, can’t I just wait for him I am sure he will soon be up, it is almost eight, who sleeps that long anyway”
The man gave her dismissal look. Helen couldn’t believe it for a moment, to be so close and yet…. A horn blared behind her and she turned in time to see low slung sport car drive towards her.
Please don’t let it be Uche or Stanley or Eva, she prayed. It would be the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen to her. Whoever was driving the car wound down the window and Helen’s heart skipped several beats.
“Hi” the driver said. He turned out to be a very handsome young man in his twenties.
“Is something wrong?” he asked.
Helen was too busy thanking God that it wasn’t anybody she knew to answer the man. Then she heard the guard answering the question.
“She is looking for your brother; she is from Mr. Uche’s wife but your brother is still sleeping”
Helen couldn’t believe it, this handsome man is Chuck’s brother, Chuck is half caste and this man here is full black.
“From Nma right” the man asked
Helen nodded because she couldn’t bring herself to speak. He opened the passenger door for her. “Come in, I will take you to him”
Helen entered the car and suddenly she had the feeling that entering this kind of car wasn’t new to her. The nostalgic feeling was very strong. She had to say something to shake herself out of it.
“You know maybe I should take the guard’s advice and come back”
“Why” he smiled at her “when you can see him now”
“Are you just going to wake him for me?” Helen asked
“I bet he is not still sleeping. By the way I am Collins, he is my brother but you already know that”
“Yes I do and I am Helen I work for Nma but you already know that”
Collins laughed “That’s new”
“What’s new?”
“You just accept I am his brother, no questions asked”
Helen chuckled “I bet you get a lot of that”
Collins gave her a full lusty look and Helen cringed with the feeling of falling. What’s happening here? Please she prayed; don’t let this brother have a crush on her when she had her sights on his older brother. That would be a complication she was not be ready to face.
“Here we are beautiful” Helen got out of the car and looked around the house with awe.
“It is beautiful”
“Not as much as you are”
She decided to keep quiet as Collins led her inside.
“That was a compliment”
“Was it? I thought I was being compared to house”
He laughed again and opened the door and she was led into the most exquisite living room she had ever seen.
“Wow!” she couldn’t help the exclamation. The room was furnished with white and glass that was the best way she could describe it, and it was very airy, with a vast French window on one side. A light breeze lifted the white cottons hanging at the windows. Helen shook her head in wonder of it.
“You really want to see my brother”
Helen turned to face him with a smile
“That is why I am here”
“I have got to change my clothes, take a bath, so take the stairs to the first floor and open the first door you come to, you will see him”
“Helen frowned “just like that, I mean that is more like barging in on him”
“It is a suite, so you are not like barging in”
Helen wasn’t still convinced
“Do you want to see him or not, since you are already here I guess you want to see him”
He smiled
‘I do but I don’t think his girlfriend will appreciate it if I just showed up in their bedroom’
Collin chuckled ‘He is alone’
‘He is? I got it on good authority that the super model came back with him’
‘Well there is no authority more authentic than mine when it comes to my brother. I am telling you on better authority that his girlfriend is not here’
“Okay, first door, first floor”
“Right” he said leaving to disappear through of one the doors. Helen turned and began the climb the stairs she was told led to Chuck’s suite on legs that were shaky. Was she doing the right thing? Shouldn’t she insist that they announce her to him and maybe he would come to see her in the living room? Collins is his brother and knows the best way to approach the brother, she assured herself. or not she thought suddenly afraid. Maybe he was setting her up, he looked the kind to do that sort of thing and he certainly looked young enough to play that kind of prank on his big brother or on any unsuspecting female. Helen smiled trying to get a firm hold on her straying mind. It was very obvious the boy was used to girls falling at his feet and it didn’t help that he’s Chuck Obi’s only brother. She shook her head and knocked on the door before she could panic and turn tails. No one opened the door after her third knock so she turned the knob and walked into a smaller living room. It was empty save for the exquisite and masculine furniture so she came in and looked around. There were two large boxes on the floor yet to be opened. She then recalled that he came in last night. The room was too masculine for her taste. So where was he? She asked. She didn’t have time to wait until he appeared from where ever. All of a sudden she wanted the whole charade to be over and done with.
There was another door at the opposite end of the room so she walked to it and opened the door. It was a bedroom and her eyes connected with the bed.
And what she saw took her breath away with that went also her reasoning ability.
On the bed was six feet four of her every desire. He was lying on top of the bed spread; bare chest wearing only his jeans, the top button was undone. His long hair was unbound and spread all over the pillow. She swallowed hard. No one had the right to be this beautiful in sleep. One muscular hand was beneath his head and the other on his flat and hard stomach. She took a step forward, she couldn’t help herself. She could see herself leaning down to kiss those lips that usually appeared hard and stubborn but in sleep looked soft and beckoned on her to lean over. She took a step backwards, breathing hard. What was she doing? She should leave…at that particular time, she knew as she was sure  of the existence of a supreme being governing the whole universe that he was the only man for her.
Should she wake him? She thought against it. She didn’t have the heart to wake him, he looked so peaceful, and ruggedly sexy that she was afraid of what she would happen if she touched him, she knew that she wouldn’t stop at a mere touch. She would want to explore that beautiful body. What wouldn’t she do to have him open those metallic green eyes and smile her welcome? She shook her head. The reality was if he woke up he would be mad at her for intruding on his privacy. Geez his girlfriend could have been here! The best thing to do she thought was look around for the purse and leave before he woke up. With her mind made up, she walked to the first drawer and opened it and began to search them one after the other. So she didn’t notice him stir and wake.

Chucks woke to the feeling that he was not alone. he couldn’t remember coming into the room let alone falling asleep. What a day, he had a lot planned, first he wanted drop in on Stanley and see which of his friends was up to some exercise, these days Stanley was almost his only pal he could hang with, Uche and Charles having succumbed to married lives. Still he hated going to Stanley’s house because he didn’t like his gold digger live in girlfriend. He looked at his watch and knew that going over to Stanley’s house was out question. Stanley would be at work. That was when he heard the noise. He slowly looked and saw a girl going through his drawer. Chuck couldn’t believe it, maybe he was still dreaming, so he closed his eyes and opened them again but the girl was still there. How did she get in. slowly he sat up

EIGHT TIPS TO A HAPPIER MARRIAGE.

Have you been in that marriage or relationship for a while now and you are beginning to feel unpretty and unattractive? You are no longer the size 10/12 girl he used to know or you catch him looking at prettier, younger, slimmer or more ambitious women and that makes you feel old, ugly and fat? Here are 8 tips to help you feel attractive and keep his interest like forever.

1. BE CLEAN:
so many women after being Married or being in a relationship for a while, begins to become too comfortable with their partner. They don't bath till night, some do in morning but don't at night. Some never remember to wash their hair. Some stop shaving even the most essential parts. Even the house is being neglected or the sheets on the bed yet you want that man to turn to you at night.  He won't and he would be too polite to tell you why. He will say he had long day and is very tired.
2. BE SEXY:
Competition is tight, a lot of young girls outside understand this and you see them buy sexy under wears and lingeries while married ones don't get that no matter how long you've been married you are still in competition with if not other women but your husband's memories of you when you first met. so they take it for granted that they already got the man and don't need to try. That maybe true but wait till your partner meets one of them sexy younger girls. So wear sexy night gown, lace and silk underwear. Do your make up right even when you are at home, even when you don't plan to go anywhere wear beautiful n simple n sexy attires all day long. I promise he won't wait for the kids to go to bed. He would rush home every night. Be what your husband want in bed, and give him your full attention, not even your kids should come into your mind at this stage.  Remember there are girls outside who are more than willing to show him the latest when it comes to sex.
3. BE ROMANTIC:
Romance comes natural to the woman more than the men. So make use of this free gift from above. Take him out for a romantic dinner, when the children are in bed, sit out for a while, drink wine and make small talk. Just enjoy the stars, moon the fresh air and each other. Think of some romantic ways to melt his heart. Wink at him when your eyes meet even if your grown up children are there. Take long strolls. Be romantic!
4. BE FUN:
The truth is that men never grow old. They still remember the fun you used to have when you started dating ages ago and still want it. No wonder they sneak around with girls your age when they first met you. Those young girls are fun. They go clubbing, they hang out at joints with them and to viewing centers. How many married women do you see in such places. Next to none but what about married men? They come with the single girls. Wise up ladies. Having fun must not include children. Most times family picnics with fussy and crying children bore and irritate men. So while you are planning family picnics and fun, plan for something only two of you can do.
5. BE CHEERFUL:
why do most married women keep long faces. Things are hard, you are worried about finances etc. Your long face and sighing is enough to drive him to the bars and into the hands of some woman. No matter how hard things get if your man is trying be that one source of happiness for him by keeping a cheerful face and attitude.
6. BE PEACEFUL: no matter how angry he made you or how trying your day has been. When you open the door for husband at the end of the day, do so with a warm smile. By doing this you are telling him it's okay to come home no matter how mad you are at him. Don't nag, don't be contentious and don't be argumentative. Your relationship needs a measure of peace to survive. If you need to let him know when he is not doing right, do so in a mature and firm conversation. Don't be violent.
7. BE HIS BEST COOK: a man's stomach they say is the easiest way to his heart. This is true. You don't have to be a chef to do this. Learn to be the best cook of all his favorite meals. Make sure that no girl can do it better than you. Be creative with food, learn some new recipes to tempt his pallet.
8. WATCH YOUR WEIGHT: One of the things that give woman complex and make them suspicious of every single girl is when they add weight. They begin to feel inferior to the still shapely single girls. Remember you are in competition, so watch your diet, exercise and loose weight if you have to.

These are not all but these eight tips will put you in the right course. Your marriage is worth fighting for and these are your weapons.

HUNGRY HEARTS

WHO SHOULD I FORGIVE MY GIRL FRIEND OR MY BOY FRIEND

 Hello readers, my name is Comfort. I am 24 years old, I have a best friend, we share the same birthday that was how we became friends in the first place. We often tell people we are twins from different mothers that was how close we were.

One day we were just hanging out in a fast food when a very handsome man came in, we both noticed him at the same time but fortunately it was me the man spoke to. Before long we started dating.
Apart from being handsome, he was caring and generous and cool and I was in love for him. Time came when I had to go back to school. He calls every night, I knew it was his way of checking me out, I knew and didn’t mind cos I wasn't cheating. Then one night he called and I didn't pick  cos I was really ill and slept off.. this caused a big fight for us. I couldn't take all the accusations. For three days he didn't call. When I tried calling him, he didn't pick.
So I came back to Lagos to find out why cos I didn't want to lose him. When I got to his house, my best friend was there acting like his girlfriend. I couldn't believe it. We had a big fight in his house that day. My friend said she didn't snatch him from me that we have already broken up before she started dating him.
Three months later they broke up now my friend is asking me to forgive, not only forgive but to become her best friend again. As if that is not enough he wants me back, he calls all day, visit my school, buy gifts and begging.
I can't be a best friend to my friend and be his girl friend, how awkward would that be?

Please I need advice, who should I forgive, my best friend or my boy friend
