"I know it's not easy to meet someone nice.
Everybody wants to but no one seems good enough for anyone - and the less willing you are to compromise, the more alone you find yourself."
All Gigi wants from life is to get through her work day with her sanity intact and maybe a little romance.
She's a simple girl who wants simple things so when an old crush comes into town and her friend/boss (a friend who happens to also be a boss) seems determined to ruin her perfect marriage over him she would very much have liked to be left out of it - except for a few things:
1. Her friend (boss)'s old crush is her old crush too
2. Her friend (boss)'s actual hubby seems fixated on her
3. Her other friends give the worst advice
4. Someone is stalking her in her DMs
Then there's the question: Just how messy can a simple girl's life can get over a simple kiss.
A modern Nigerian romantic comedy about love, geishas, stalkers, Kpop and the fine art of updating your CV at work.
SPECIAL NOTE:
I really wanted to do something from where I'm from so this is a very contemporary Nigerian Romantic Comedy.
As such, although it's written in English it also features Nigerian slangs, turns of phrase and references. I'll be happy to answer questions if you have any so don't feel afraid to ask!
I hope you'll check it out and enjoy it :)

And They Were Roommates
It was just a kiss, don't freak out about it-" "No, it wasn't just a kiss. What Nigerian man would do that?!" "So is the problem that you were uncomfortable or that you're a Nigerian man so you feel you shouldn't have?" "The seco- no, both- that was an accident, it didn't mean anything so don't fucking twist my head with your mind games, Audu! I am not fucking like you!"

"I dare you to kiss the girl on your right." The girl on the right. . . my sleep deprived mind made out sluggishly. Girl on the right, it repeated again and my eyes flew open, all atom of sleep disappearing from them. I was the girl on the right! *** Bullied for the colour of her skin ever since she could remember, Olayinka doesn't know what it means to be accepted. She's called trash and treated as an outcast all because of the school's resident bad boy and top bully, Kian Fields. Senior year starts with Kian suddenly becoming very nice and naive Olayinka, unaccustomed to this type of attention and desperately wishing for acceptance, begins to fall for him. That is, until Jayden Ross enters the equation. Jayden is nerdy, wears ugly glasses and is definitely not Olayinka's kind of guy. But as he aids Olayinka in standing up for herself, she can't help but be drawn to his shy and gentle exterior. With Kian showering his attention on her and Jayden, who looks out for her all the time, Olayinka is attracted to both of them. Could this be her very own love triangle or is it just in her head? But maybe, just maybe she'll finally be able to live as any other teen her age would, worrying about boys and perhaps she'll finally be considered normal. *** Second Place in Teen Fiction Category for The Undiscovered Awards 2020*** ***Feautured in Wattpad Ambassador NG reading list*** ***First Place in Teen Fiction Category for The Evergreen Awards*** ***Third Place in Teen Fiction Category for The Faith Awards***Complete
