Diary of a single mother 19
I was in a state of dilemma and didn’t know the best decision to make.
The next day, Frank came to the house again. He came with some baby milk, custards and pampers.
I was dozing off on the couch while trying to tend to an over hyper Chima (my youngest twin) .
“Don’t worry about him. Have some sleep, I will watch over him”. Frank said.
I was super grateful because I was completely exhausted. It’s been ages since last I got a good sleep. I thanked him and dozed off immediately.
I slept for over 2hrs. Chima was already asleep while Chidi was playing with Frank. It was a beautiful sight to behold. This softened my heart.
“I shouldn’t be thinking about myself alone. I should consider the happiness of my boys”.
“Thank you so much”. I said whilst yawning.
“You must be really exhausted seeing how sound you slept. You were even snoring ๐”. Frank said teasingly.
“Me snore?? No jor, I don’t snore”. I replied back laughing.
“You were snoring honestly like a python ๐”. Frank said
I threw one of the throw pillows on the couch at him and he threw it back at me.
We were having fun until my mom walked in. We had to coordinate ourselves.
He stayed for a while and left. I didn’t even want him to leave. I felt so happy and alive for the first time in a long while. The image of him playing with Chidi lived rent free in my head.
“I can’t do this alone Chinyere! I need Frank”. I concluded.
That evening, I chatted him up on WhatsApp. We chatted for a very long time that I forgot to bath my kids that night. I was so engrossed. I accepted him back into my life and he promised to love me and the kids for the rest of his life.
That was how our relationship got back to life.
One afternoon, I snuck out and left the kids for my brother and went to see Frank in his home. His parents were not around. We were having fun and making out till he wanted to penetrate me. I stopped him abruptly.
“Please Frank, I’m not ready for this”.
