On getting to his house, I kept throwing tantrum, screaming and stomping up and down like a baby... immediately, he pushed me firm to the wall. Pervert! as I screamed out loud again... shhh! keep still Rosie please! as he said in a hush voice. I won't hurt you Okay! I wasn't brought up that way. so keep still so that I can go and get some drugs for you and that is all you need now.
I nodded in agreement after few minutes of glaring at his eyes in search of his genuine heart.
He bought me drugs and he helped me to the dining table as we ate together while I took the drugs. I felt at home and at peace with him.

Rosie please stay well ok. Let me explain everything to you. Can you give a few minutes of your time to listen to what I am about to say?Go on! I am listening as I respond flatly. I am not a student, but a non academic staff in charge of ICT in the Faculty of Education. After graduating from my school in the University of Porthacourt, my uncle placed me here to work with his Faculty.
His "Faculty" I said. …
Yes, his faculty... He is the Dean of your faculty. I chose to disguise myself because I'm the only child of my mother and I am holding an important aspect of the school.
"WHAT!" You are the only child of your mother? Yes I am Rosie.
I disguise myself just so I don't fall a victim to the wrong woman and I have learnt a great lesson from my father's. I will let you know more about me but for now let me take you to bed so you can rest very well.

Jerry stretched out his hands to lift me up. I am tried to process all that we've discussed so far in my head but this is getting too much for me to digest right now as I thought within.
Rosie! Please stay strong for me and get well soon. I snapped out immediately the moment I heard my name. It was as if he knew that I was processing in my head what he had just said. Sure I will, I said. Ok then! sweet dreams.

I tucked her to bed and then placed a kiss on her forehead as i watch Rosie sleeping like a baby. Her beauty is exceptional even without make up. Her lips are very small with the down lip in pink colour. There are some distinct features about her. She has a small nose that is pointed like the British. Small mouth, small ears and a brief bow leg. Her dipoles are so charming like her name entails. Her elongated face is lovely to behold finally, she speaks English fluently Though, I thought that she attended British secondary school but from her, it was self education that made her speak well.
Majority of the southern part of Nigeria doesn't speak well. They are known for broken English. But seeing someone that grew up here in the southern part speaking fluently, is really amazing. It was so lovely seeing her by my side.
Rosie...! as I called her name in quiescent to spoke to her subconsciously while I pull off gently the stray strand of hair off her face. My father mistakes in home was a regrettable one and I've decided to make a difference from his ways of life. I want to have a beautiful and a peaceful home and that's the more reason that I was so careful to delve into any relationships so, I took the decision to live a just and upright life Though, I don't know if my siblings have done the same but as for me, I want to have a home full of love and peace.

while speaking to her, I noticed that it was late hours of the day and there's an inaugural lectures taking place tomorrow but with the fast ticking of the time, I have to sleep now so that I can be up sound and healthy I told myself.
