",she said,and continued;"I need to go to the ladies' room". "Okay",Claire replied,and took a sip of her drink. Eghosa left just as Owen was making his way to Claire. "Claire. . . ",he said from behind her. She blinked and then muttered to herself;"Now i'm hearing things. I really do need a shrink". "Claire",he said again,putting a hand on her shoulder. She whirled around sharply,almost knocking down her drink. "Owen?",she asked with a gasp. Owen was what you'd call classically handsome. He had thick,curly,jet-black hair,bushy(but not overly so)eyebrows,and black eyes so piercingly intense they seemed to stare into your very soul. He had a very nice nose;it wasn't one of those humongous noses,nor was it small;it was just right. He had a very well-defined jaw which was,at the moment,covered in an untidy beard. He was a sharp contrast to Claire-where she was slight,he was huge-but not grotesquely so. He had broad shoulders,a body that could've been a prize-fighter's and a dazzling smile-one of his best features. Owen Akingbade was gorgeous,he was the kind of man women drooled over,and he was all Claire's-except she didn't know it then. "How can you be here,Owen? You're supposed to be in Chicago. Your flight left 3 days ago",she said in confusion. "My flight left. I didn't. I packed my stuff,got to the airport,and then i realized. . . Then i realized i couldn't leave,not with things between us the way they were",he said. "How touching",she said dryly,wits regained. "Claire,we need to talk". "We've got nothing to talk about",she replied. "The hell we don't. You tell me you don't wanna have a relationship with me,you break up with me, in a text message? My God,Claire,that's cold,even for you",he said in anger. She flinched at his words,they hurt more than she cared to admit,and then got angry herself. Among other things,Claire had a temper. Nothing as volatile as Miriam's temper,of course(Miriam was her family's hothead),but a temper nonetheless- when she could be bothered to get that worked up over something(

She'd perfected the art of world-weary indifference). "Ok enough of this bullshit Owen. Stop acting like you're the victim in all this",she said,seethin as she stood up and faced him. It was amazing how angry he could make her with just a few words. "Claire. . ",he began. "And how did you even know where i'd be?",she cut in. "That's not important",he replied. "How did you know where i'd be?",she asked again. "I called Eghosa. She. . She told me". "Well i'll be. . " "Look,this isn't her fault. Don't get mad at her for this. I'd have found you anyway",he said,and continued;"You weren't picking my calls,you didn't reply my messages,what did you think,that if you ignored me long enough i'd just fade away?" "That was the general idea",she muttered under her breath. "Claire we have been together for over a year now. I know we've got issues,and individually we're pretty dysfunctional,but we've also got something really good. Something worth fighting for. 14 months of our lives. That's how long we've been together. 14 months. How can you just throw that away?",he asked,genuinely confused. "I didn't throw our relationship away. You did",she said,her voice as cold as chips of ice. "What the hell are you talking about?",he asked in frustration. "I'm not having this conversation anymore",she said. At that point,Eghosa walked in. "Owen! Fancy meeting you here",she said brightly,affecting surprise. "Drop the act,sis. I know you set this up. I'm going to the car. It's about time we left",she said and walked out on them both.

@Atreus. I've been reading your works. I really enjoyed every bit of one of them. U must hav spent a huge time on those as I can see. And I also must admit that u hav a real talent there. Keep it up! I assure u will hav a lot of fortune from those. Take time with urself and u will know what to write next. (But, honestly I can't wait for the next chapter.) Kudos! to u!  |

I'm not Nigerian, but I've watched a few nollywood movies and they are quite interesting. I've read bits of your story and i like it. I think you should write it in script form because the dialogues are really good and realistic and this would make a good movie.

Writers block aint to be taken lightly . . . I love the fact that the story is still in the works, it means we get to see literarily the way events unfold, and such a refreshing story; been a while since i read anything this 'Cute' Ride on, ATREUS; we re waiting on you . . . |

@semid,i tire oh. It's almost like i've lost my connection with the story. I have a general idea of where it should go but when i try to write it's like it's not me. It's okay,i guess,but it's just not me. I haven't been able to get as worked up about the story as i was when i was writing the scene after the reunion party. Everything just seems kinda off. This whole writer's block thing is frustrating. @Musty,thanks.
