As the pregnancy advanced, her desire for intimacy increased but Roy seemed to have lost interest in sex. When she inquired why he explained to her. “Baby, I don’t think I can do this. I can’t make love to you while pregnant. I am scared when I am with you. Let us abstain for now till the baby comes. Please.” She accepted just to make him happy. They all went shopping for the baby.

They all came back to Nigeria together. When they returned to Nigeria, Jacinta’s...

I LOVE HER…… Jacinta met Roy at her cousin’s wedding. She attended that wedding by chance. She had just written her last papers when she was informed that the wedding was taking place that weekend. It was a high-class wedding which meant there would be quality food in good quantity and eligible men. She dressed to kill. She was a tall chocolate skinned beauty with curves in the right places. She dressed to show them off. Roy walked in. He was not the one that got the attention of all the guests; it was his sister. She was tall, slim, light skinned and very beautiful. She turned both male and female guests at the reception. He brother, Roy, was there by her side like her bodyguard. He was also at her beck and call. He didn’t allow her to do anything.
