Through it All 💕

The beginning

It was already morning when Rita woke up with pains especially on her forehead throbbing and spinning around, it was then that she remembered that she was heavily drunk from last night and had slept off on the couch in the sitting room , she jumped up after realizing she was not on her couch but on her bed, then she wondered how she ended up on her bed instead.

Rita still can't remember how she must've ended up on her bed last night and how she had gotten home in her drunken state , she stood up from the bed only to see a note on her bed stand ...(last night was amazing, You're simply the best,take those for your headaches ).

Gosh !

What have I done?

I thought inwardly

I can't believe I let Gift and Celine dragged me into this mess, I hope I haven't done anything stupid..

My memories of last night still blurry to me and honestly I can't remember what happened.

I just can't believe I let them talked me into getting drunk  .

Shorts of words Rita look around the room to see a tray of coffee and pain relief on her bed nightstand.

She kept wondering who might have brought her home last night , she remembered dancing with few handsome bachelors, standing up she walked over to  kitchen with the coffee in her hand.

Saturdays were usually her casual day for relaxation and general days for cleaning but she seems too tired today, her mother would have scolded her for this, it's not acceptable for a an ideal African lady to go clubbing much less to an extend of getting drunk, she picked up her phone and called her sister, they had both went clubbing last night after she received a note which had left her distraught, Gift offered to drop her off at her apartment but she was so exhausted that she slept off on their way only for her to had woken up surprisedly in front of their favorite club,  she realized that she has been tricked.

Celine and Gift persuaded her about the whole idea ,though she frown at it, it was a little too late to turn back ,due to her emotional instability she had ended up getting drunk ,she just wanted to loosen up a little bit and forget about everything happening around her, she only hoped that her sister might tell her what happened last night at the club.

Gift had been her friend and sister for a long time now, the both of them has gone through a lot together, remembering her childhood, her parents died when she was just 8year old in a fatal car accident, her father's closet associate adopted her since,
Since she and Gift are of similar age they had grew up together and they became her only family since then, they owned one of the biggest Company in Africa popularly known as Powermart, A clothing company INC with their headquarters in Ikeje Lagos state Nigeria, though they have other branch in various countries.

Since Gift decided to pursue her career in law she has no choice but for her to study business management in order for her to take over the family business, she hold them that much for all the love and care they had brought to her life Even though she has her own dream of owing her own company someday dealing with bags and shoes design which she hope to accomplish soon.

Several years has passed by and she's now the CEO of Powermart and clothing company and Gift has become the best lawyer in the country , both ladies are inseparable but both has worst experience from men.

Gift finally picked up her phone and was giggling over the phone, after asking her about last night and narrating her story to her, she realized it was no use speaking with
Her.

Hanging up after realizing there's no use talking about what happened last night with her .
She kept on just teasing her about her boyfriend when they both know too well that she doesn't have any guy in her life currently.

Later on in the evening she decided to go out for a stroll through the drizzling evening for some fresh atmosphere with her headphones .
Been stuck up in the house  for a whole day was suffocating her out, so she decided to take a walk.

Few minutes later everything around her became suspicious when she thought  that someone was trailing behind her, glancing around but didn't notice anything suspicious.

As much as she loved this atmosphere and how free she felt with the cool breeze of the evening, it seems like it was time for her to head back.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize when she collided with someone else ,her heartbeat accelerated in seconds she saw herself on the ground and let a cry.

"Ouch that hurts " she cried out.

"I'm so sorry ,I apologize! " He said quietly.

"It's fine, guess it was also my fault though ,I wasn't paying attention to where I was going"

Extending his hands to help get up,I felt a sharp pain at my back but I guess I will be fine.

"what's a lady like you doing all by herself " .I heard him asking distinctly.

"Nothing much but thanks, I have to be on my way now " I told him politely before walking away .

I wasn't interested in any such of conversation with some random guy and honestly am not interested in any guy.

I jogged my way back home though that kin feeling of been watched was still lingering within me.

Walking  to the front door, I unlocked the door and stroll into the house, removing my headphones and placing it on the table, I decided to prepare something nice for myself,after much thinking I decided to make akara made from washed blended beans and custard cream.
After I was done cooking I rushed upstairs to get freshen up and changed into my comfy gown before coming down for my dinner.

Last week has been one hell of a busy week and honestly since I was staying alone now ,it's much easier making my own delicacy, I get to eat whatever I want and whenever I want to.

My secretary promised to send me an important email earlier today concerning the launching of our upcoming design. I went through my email and realized that she has sent me the proposal as promised. Though I needed to edit somethings before sending it back to her for the slide presentation.

Though I can't help but worry about the way things were going, the country is heading to a moribund
which is also affecting the sales of the company massively.

Last week I had to hold series of meeting  with the head of marketing  department to plan on how to improve the sales of the company.
Few suggestions were made which I would have to present to the board of directors on Monday.

Walking down the stairs, I heard a knock on the door which startled me since I wasn't expecting anyone and it was quite late already.

Opening the door I realized that it was Sandra giving her a quick hug, I ushered her in .

"What did you make for dinner?". Sandy asked me removing her jacket and taking a sit on the sofa.

Yeah so thoughtful of Sandra, she just can't hide her love for Food.

"I prepared Akara and Custard cream". I answered her and went to the kitchen to serve us dinner .

Honestly her visit was a great distraction for me, I really did enjoyed every bit of her visit and we had girls sleepover watching our favorite movies,we were both fans of Marvel production since she will be traveling for a course next week.
I don't want to talk about her family since it seems like a very sensitive discussion for her, she's always hiding and changing conversation involving her family that at times I wonder what really happened between her family, though I know she have an Elder brother who has been in overseas most of the time. We never got to meet him though since he was always out of town whenever we visit.

she left the following morning though I urged her to stay longer until evening but she claimed she has an appointment later in the afternoon.

The rest of the weekend went blurry and  spent it watching my favorite TV shows.
