His fingers wrapped around my hair as he kissed me like he was thirsty and I was the only water on land, my shirt had gone off, his too , he put me on the counter and went down on me..

I woke up, then put on the light in the dark room, Rebecca was peacefully asleep..my palms on my face I sighed realising I was dreaming about it again..and sweating. My phone buzzed with a message, I picked it up

"Can't sleep, I've been thinking about you" it read, was he kidding

"LEAVE ME ALONE" I texted back

"Stop messing with my head" I said into the quiet room, then laid back and tried to pray, there was a long silence before he texted again

"I'm never gonna touch you again..the thing is..you want me to"

Why was I replying him again?

I sent him a glaring face"I don't want you to"

"Ok...do please forgive me..I guess I lost it"

"You need God.."

"Yeah...maybe he could help me with this" 

I stared at the phone then put off the light and slept off. I realised I didn't ask him about his mother, maybe because I just didn't care anymore, he had succeeded in destroying all the defences I had taken years to build up and that wasn't safe, I wasn't going to let him get to me again.

​​​​​​I put him behind me, didn't return his texts or calls, I decided all I felt for him was plain lust, that was why he was plaguing my dreams..and I had no intention of allowing the devil to destroy my life.

Erica was on break and decided to come visit me in school, after gisting Rebecca and I about NYSC camp, we decided to try our hands on baking

"Rebecca I love you but you do not know a thing about baking"she said

" yea..give me some credit, I've never baked a cake"

"Word?.. Well you stir anticlockwise"

"Well I'm good with other things"

"Yes clearly, your better than my sister in many things "Erica said glancing at me for a reaction, I didn't reply

" I hear one nigga's been chasing you around campus"she said

I looked at Rebecca surprised

"Not Rebecca, I have my sources" I pst "hear he's really fine, is he rich..do you like him?"

I looked at Rebecca again

"What, you not gonna tell your sister anything, I could advice you"

I didn't need her advice but I sighed

"Yea, but he drinks and smokes"

"Yippe..he's the one, that's him baby.

. I like a guys that's real"

I just gaped at her then looked at Rebecca who mouthed  a "Sorry" at me

​​​​​​" your no help" of course she ll like someone who was just like her, I kept the napkin and walked away from them

Erica looked at us "what did I say?"

I didn't want anybody to talk about it or bring him up. I had succeeded in putting him behind me and had started hanging out with Martins again, he was safe and would never make me do something bad like commit a sin against God, I was in control and I liked that.. Sean was...dangerous.

"Yes" I told Martin at fellowship "I ll date you" I said, I already pictured myself as his wife and was comfortable with it, he took me in his arms and hugged me

"I love you Emilia" he said.

    I read about Priest Alaska online that he has helped a lot of people revive broken marriages and relationships. I decided to reach out and from the beginning I felt welcomed and a little bit calmness struck me again my nerves was so calm immediately I knew I was on with the right person who can help me turn my marriage around for the better. Following the guidance of Priest Alaska I noticed positive changes, communication between me and my husband gradually improved, misunderstanding was resolved. Today, I’ve reconnected with my husband and we are committed to moving forward together. For anyone going through a difficult period in their marriage or relationship, seeking trusted guidance and support can be an important step toward healing and reconciliation.
