All Chapters of The Troubles of Friendship: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ChisomI watched her discreetly, you would almost think I was reading. I had a textbook placed on the desk in front of me, Foundations of Mathematical Analysis for the course: Real Analysis. It was compulsory for all students of the Faculty of Physical Science.Stupid book.As a se

ChisomThe hairs on my body stood, an indication that someone was watching me. My heartbeat quickened, compelling me to scan my environment most subtly.

Two days laterJessie

Chisom"What's his name?" Jessie whispered."Collins David, we just call him David. He's married and with kids." I emphasized the last word because she kept talking about how he looked young, the way his muscles moved with each step he took. I didn't like that. David was one of my best lec

ChisomTired.That was how I felt and it showed in the way I slowly descended the stairs. My thighs felt like bricks; every step I took seemed heavier than the last. It was punishment for joining Jessie in doing squats. I didn't enjoy any form of exercise so, my willingness to tag along to the stadium had surprised even me.Friday was the only day Jessie and I didn't have the same lectures which meant I had to make the short walk to the female hostels alone. Halting on the last stairs of the second floor, I toyed with the idea of going through the back where there

ChisomDear Bubbles,I saw him again, I never thought I would. Maybe Agatha lied, we all can't have second chances, we can't all be free from them.What happens the next time I see him?

Chisom"Sooo ... Sophia?" I was the first person to break the uncomfortable silence.Sophia was one of my roommates, the most social one among us four in our room.

Still, she should have known he was my Greg, not anyone else.

ChisomSoft hands massaged my butt, teeth grazed across my neck, wet kisses trailed from behind my ear to the crook of my neck and a palm cupped my breasts. I stiffened and relaxed almost immediately, all thanks to the voice that whispered in my ear. The hands on my body were gentle, almost familiar and I welcomed it. I liked this person’s touch.Tightening my eyes, I parted my legs to allow access to the finger that was slowly heading for the promised land. If this was a dream, I wanted it to go on forever.One finger slipped into my wetness and a loud moan

JessieA plate of fried rice and chicken was in front of me while Chisom's plate had spaghetti with meatballs. We were seated at our favourite booth inside Chitis restaurant, the small black, television connected to the wall showing MTV base top ten countdowns.Every Saturday of the third week of each month, we would go out to any eatery of our choice, push all extra-curricular activities to the side until our one hour with each other was up. It involved us talking about ourselves, our dreams, our future careers; life in general. No talks about boys were allowed si
