READ OUR FIRST EVER STORY; WRITTEN BY BLESSING EDOHO

FEAR

He logged into his Gmail account and synced his phone with his account, he watched as his mails rolled in; necessarily shocked by the things he was seeing. Then it hit him that all his long lost contacts were back. With a cloud of shock and a bit of excitement, he scrolled through them and then he came to that name and stopped. He couldn't really believe his eyes. "Was he really seeing things?", his head asked him. He subsequently looked closely at his phone and opened it, it was it, it was really it. Her number! He couldn't believe it was there like the rest. He was forced to smile, remembering her. Her person. He was wishing he could see her again. He sighed.

In fact, he was going to call her. There and then the urge to hear her filled his thoughts. Before he could put himself together, he dialed her number without thinking of what to say. She did pick on the second ring and then everything went numb with him.

"Hello" she said. He was lost for words. Just hearing her voice made his heart race a thousand miles and back in a minute.

"Hello, hello who's calling" she pressed further, but he hung up. He couldn't face it. All the old memories were rushing back in and he was obviously choking and couldn't breathe. His heart was racing even faster now and he was panting, breathless seeking for air like someone that just ran a thousand mile. It was like the room was closing in on him, his feet couldn't carry him no more, he landed on his buttocks. He was suddenly scared. Scared that she wouldn't accept him anymore. Scared that no one would either. If they were to do, not for who he is; what he has become now.

Waking up to the blazing alarm on her bedside table she hit the clock and snuggled deep into her duvet, today she didn't feel like getting up or doing anything but as she remembered that she had an appointment with the Alade's by 8am, she sighed and sat up on her bed. Stretching her limbs, she checked the time. It was 6.30am. She did her morning devotion and went down to put the kettle on for some coffee while she waited for it to boil. As if on cue her little baby came down from the stairs whistling while she hopped.

"Morning mum", Bridget said

"Morning darling, how was your night?"

"Fine mum". Just then the phone rang, she reached out to the phone and said hello waiting to hear who's on the other side.

"Hello, hello who's calling?" she asked further when she received no answer but just then, the line went dead.

Wondering who it was, she dropped the phone.

"Who was that mum" Bridget asked

"I don't know baby. Here take," she gave her some money for school.

"Run along so you don't end up late"

"Ok mum, ciao.... love you"

"Love you too darl."

Just then the kettle whistled and she went ahead and poured some coffee into her cup, dragging herself up to go prepare for the day.
