Let's immerse ourselves in these short tales where Jay steps in as the male lead. He's clearly an inspiring presence... and this book is definitely getting a sequel. This is a compilation of short stories. The concept? Picking a photo of Jay randomly from my database, and letting that single image spark my imagination until I can't help but write something about it. The selected photo will be displayed at the start of each story [in the Outline section] followed by a brief description. ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ Since this compilation covers many topics, the writing style may vary slightly from one story to another. With this in mind, there are perhaps a few too many tags, and not all of them apply to every story. So the predominant style of each story will be indicated by a checked box in the description. ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ ⑇ All events are purely fictional. Respect the writer's work, as they will never take pride in being plagiarized.

"You want to have sex with me? Just sex, nothing else attached?" "Is it so bad? Don't you want me too?" Chike's eyes were focused on her and she could feel the heat as if laser beams were being projected on her. "This will get complicated fast." "If it does, we take a break and talk things out. What matters is that we stay friends when this is done. I don't want to lose my best friend," Ada said. "How can I say no to that?" *** After five years away from the country and silently pining for his best friend, Ada, Chike returns to Nigeria. The one thing that has been keeping him going was the promise he made to himself that once he was back, he'd confess to her. Imagine his shock when Ada introduces him to her boyfriend. Would he step back after all these years of waiting? Or would he do everything possible to get his girl. On the outside, Ada and her boyfriend John are the happiest couple but what the public doesn't know is that there are a lot of pains hidden underneath. Ada is convinced that with a little time, John would change so she continues to make excuses for his excesses. After all, love is patient. With Chike fighting to get Ada and Ada fighting to stay with John, how do you think this would play out? BOOK TWO OF THE LAGOS MEN SERIES. WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES INTENDED FOR AN 18+ AUDIENCE. PLEASE SKIP IF YOU'RE UNDERAGE.

"Pleaseee...abeg, don't start this morning oo! It won't be funny" I threatened. "And what are you gonna do about it baby?" He smirked, whispering the last word in my ear. Goosebumps arose on my skin like a mass army and the class felt suddenly cold. What the hell is happening? Why do I feel so...so... prickly? "Christ Simi" Nana whispered, wide eyed in shock, "I just called you baby and you are gushing all over. I knew you loved me" "I'm not blushing! Why would I blush because of that? Abeg shift joor" I said and hissed, then turned back to solving my past questions (which I wasn't concentrating on because I kept hearing that stupid word in my ear) "C'mon baby, you know you like me. You are just too shy and proud to admit it" he said again. "I don't like you Nana, is it that hard to get? Besides, reserve that name for your girlfriend" ********** Similola Adams is happy being back to school in the final term of the final year. Unfortunately, things are not going as she planned as she experiences cane on her first day and goes into an insult battle with her arch enemy. Then the worse of all... She has to sit with the most arrogant and snobbish boy in class who is also her archenemy for the rest of the term.

. . . . . The man took her to a small office downstairs. It seemed he was the owner of the hotel, given how well he knew his way around. She sobbed quietly, her sister's betrayal hurting more than Halima's beating. Today, she had to find out that her sister had no heart. "Take this," the mysterious man passed her an ice pack. "Use it on the swelling." She took it from him. "Thanks." The man studied her. She looked so young. What was a young lady like her doing in a hotel while her mates were in school? The man wondered. Women of today have no shame at all. "What were you thinking?" he asked. "Excuse me?" she asked, cocking a brow. "What were you thinking when you followed that man to the hotel? Don't you have any shame?" "Stop it. Stop talking as if you know the whole truth. You don't even know half of the story, but you're already judging," she said. He cackled. "Oh, really? What I witnessed is enough for me. You sell your body for money. It's as simple as that." "Shut up!" "The truth hurts, right? Next time, you should think before repeating the same mistake." "Please shut up!! Please," she broke into tears. It hurts a lot. Now she's the prostitute. People will laugh at her if they come to watch the videos some people took. "Okay," he raised his hands up in surrender. "I want to go home," she stood up. "I can send my driver to drop you if you want." "No, thank you. Wouldn't want part two to repeat itself," she said sarcastically. "Thanks for the ice, anyway." A story about two sisters fighting for their rights. A secret they've sworn to keep from the world. One of these sisters has to take the blame for the other sister's wrongdoing, and there's no way this innocent sister can speak the truth. No one would believe her, except one man.
