I wriggled and turned restlessly from one end of my bed to another, I just couldn't sleep again. I have been awake since 4am when I woke to urinate and now I couldn't bring myself to sleep again. I put my hand into my bed drawer and brought out my phone. I switched it on and started pressing lazily trying to keep myself busy and my head together. I opened my WhatsApp; a popular chatting platform just in time to receive numerous messages from various contacts . I wasn't really in the mood for any chitchat and no one would be online by that time; so I thought. I just logged into my Instagram and swiped lazily; I loved it all! Fashion, colours, makeup and the whole paparazzi were just my thing!

I was shocked out of my dream world when my alarm struck so loudly and hey! It was already 5:30am. How fast time flies!!! I got out of bed, went into the bathroom, brushed and had a quick warm bath. Stepping out, NEPA returned our light; typical Nigerian situation..lol. I stepped out, plugged in my table lamp, my torch and my phone then proceeded to dress up. I needed to be at the office before 7:30am. I hastily applied my makeup; I really loved makeup and I applied them at every wink, sometimes I experimented some makeup looks I saw on Instagram. This morning I decided to go with a nude look, I sat down in front of my mirror and started out

. My flawless fair skin was really my inspiration because makeup sat on it so easily and blending out was just a breeze. I wore a black eye mascara and a n*de lipstick finally; checking myself out, my heart was merry at what I saw. Damn! My beauty was to die for. I hurriedly combed out my wig; a pure human hair; then placed on my already braided cornrows.

I went into my closet, brought out a corporate black long sleeve gown with a slit; I wore it and it sat on my body enhancing my little curves. I wasn't a skinny girl but I was slim... My br*asts and butts were just the right size, I wasn't curvaceous but believe me; I am beautiful! I chose a brown Coco Chanel flat shoe, a brown Christian Dior bag to match my shoes; my favorite bag and a gift I received during my 21st birthday. I had used it for over two years yet doesn't really get old and out of fashion. I unplugged my earphones from my laptop, collected my oil perfume from my dressing table and sprayed all over my body; I had earlier used my cologne and body mist. Finally, i put on my brown leather Rolex wristwatch, walked to my long dressing mirror and what reflected was a dazzling image of me. I was effortlessly beautiful! I unplugged my phone, switched off my wall socket, slid on my airpods, looked at the wall clock and it was already 7:00am. I was running late! I ran out of the room!!!

"Hey Mom, good morning and how was your night?"I said as I hugged her. 

Mymom was a real African woman. A tall, fair and heavily built woman. At her age, her fair skin and beauty was still as young girl's, she was really a beautiful woman. Her cat eyes really complimented her not-too-pointed nose and full pink lips. She was on her way out for her morning jogs; wearing a sweatpant and a vest that was almost tearing apart from her fleshy body. She had a towel, a jacket and a bottle water and her hair was covered with a wig cap. My mom was a disciplinarian and being a teacher made it easier to comprehend. She believed in living right, good morals and serving God. I grew up in a godly home where you never mess up!

"Good morning Princess. Ah! You're really an early bird, ain't you?" I just smiled. 

Mom called me princess just because of how I carry myself, my slender build and how I matched her in character. I was really not the talking type, a striking difference between me and Mom.

"Yes Mom and I think I'll be leaving now. Mom can I get money for lunch at least? I can't really cook or take anything now, I'm running late". I said smiling. Mom eyed me playfully and squeezed a thousand naira note into my hand. I needed the change, mom's money was always sweeter... Lol.

"You won't eat now; after You'll ho ahead and buy the whole nonsense in the world and eat. Make sure you eat real food o before breeze will carry you. Grasshopper!" I laughed real hard, mom was a clown too, I entered the car, in few minutes I was on my way to the office.

We got to a cafe near my office building and I beckoned on the driver to stop. I got out, went into the cafeé and bought two cups of coffee, toasted bread and of course my favorite french fries. I got noodles and mince meat for for Anny. We drove out and in few minutes we were packed outside my workplace. I got down carried my stuff and was about entering the building when I heard my name- Thelma!
