He looked comfortable like he owned the place. "Oh my God," I willed myself to take in deep breaths. "What are you doing in my apartment? And how did you get in here?"

What is your spec? I mean those qualities you desire your future partner to possess? Definitely not being way below in the social ladder right? Especially when you are the lady in the picture. Amarachi Jessica Okpara, alias, Ajay also thought the same way. Being a successful career woman with a pretty face and nice body, she couldn't settle for less..... Or so she thought... Until she met the one who changed her life.... ************************************************** That was when I noticed how close he was to me. His huge manly figure towering over me like I was something he wanted to protect, like I was a precious gem he found. Could he be the man God has chosen for me? Because judging from events, he was the first man I saw after my long night vigil. But then I took another good look at him. I cringed at my own thoughts. 'Ewww! Ajay, how could such a lame thought creep into your lousy head?' God will definitely not give me such an ugly-faced illiterate. I got away from him immediately. "Aunty your phone...." He called, running to meet me. He handed the phone to me giving me that same sheepish smile. And again I was disappointed that I could think of this irritating guy as an option. Jeez! Definitely not what I want! DEFINITELY NOT MY SPEC! ************************************************* A 17+ novel Impressive Rankings 1- #Africa🤭🤭🤭❣️ 1- #specifications 1- #nigeriannovel 2- #Igbo 2- #Lagos Amazing cover by Me☺️☺️ Photo credit: Mercy Eke UNEDITED‼️ Started: May 2021 Ended: April 2022
