Episode 9

Thessy was relaxing in her father’s compound, chatting with one of her siblings. Her phone rang, she checked the caller’s ID, it was her boyfriend Tony.

“ Hi sweetheart” she said smiling

“Hi, how’s your day going?”

“Fine, I’m just here enjoying my free time”

“How’s work?”

“Work is fine?”

“How’s Port Harcourt?”
“Cool”

“Thessy please I want you to come to Lagos, I kind of need you here”

“Tony what exactly do you need me for, I was in Lagos last month nau, do you miss me that much?”

“Please…….

“Ok I will come, but I can’t come this week, I just left Ibadan last week, so you can’t expect me to embark on this impromtu journey"

“Ok, let’s make it next week then”

“That’s better”

“Thanks, I’ll talk to you later in the day. I love you”
“Love you too, bye”

Relationship can be stressful sometimes, what’s the meaning of this now, it’s not in my plan to embark on any long journey for now, but do I have a choice. It would have been much easier if I was still in school.

Some days later, I started feeling somehow about my trip to Lagos, I don’t feel like going any longer, but I already promise him. Reluctantly, I traveled down to Lagos.


I noticed he didn’t call me all through the journey, the last time we talked was when my bus took off. I tried calling but his line was switched off.

Wemmy called, I told her I’m still on my way. I got to Lagos around 8.00pm.

On a good day he use to come to the park to pick me up, but since I couldn’t reach him, I took a cab to his house, I got there some minutes to 9.00pm.
I was about to knock at the door, then I heard sounds, someone is inside his apartment. I knocked and he opened up.

“Baby……

“Don’t baby me, you knew I was coming and you did not bother calling me, you were to pick me up, why did you treat me like an unwanted guest, you begged me to come remember?”

“I’m sorry, my phone……

“……Is right here with me, I seized it” she said opening the door wider.

“Tony what’s going on here?”

“Please come in first, then I’ll explain everything”

“And where do you think you are going” she said obstructing me.

“Anita will you please quit this drama, I told you already that I’m expecting my girlfriend. She came from a very far distance so please move before I move you”

“I give her just 30minutes” She hissed and went back into the sitting room.

“You are sick in the head, did you just gave my girlfriend order in my house?”

“If you think she will sleep here, then both of you are joking, because both of us can’t stay under the same, is better she goes back to where she’s coming from”she said shouting.

“Anita get your things and leave my house and my life, I told you I’m not interested in you, I have my own get friend whom I love, so please leave now”

“When you are sleeping with me, you don’t know you have a girlfriend abi, I’m going no where, I’m your girlfriend and she has to leave”

She faced me raining abusive words on me, she threatened to kill me, if I did not leave her man. Before I knew what what’s happening, she pounced on me and tore my clothes, pushed me out of the house, she even pushed Tony who was trying to stop her away, she pushed him so hard that he hit his head against the wall.

Tony’s neighbor Mr Martins and his wife showed up when they heard noise coming from his apartment, the wife hurriedly pull off her scarf to cover me.

They are nice couples, they really liked me, because I do visit them when I’m around especially when Tony is at work, I stay in their flat to keep the woman's company. We are all outside except the crazy girl who locked us all out.

Tony’s head was already bleeding. So the couples suggest we go their flats, so I can change, Tony’s also needed a first aid, so we followed them to their flat.

I was quiet although, even while all the drama was unfolding, I did not alter a word, its like I went dumb all of a sudden.

The woman gave me one of her top to wear, Tony wound too has been dressed by her husband.

“Tony what exactly is going on, who is that girl in your apartment? Thessy is the only girlfriend I know of” Mr Martins asked

“I met her in the club and we became friends, little did I know that she wanted more. Fine, we had sex once, she tried to lure me into sleeping with her again but I told her I can’t do it, that I’m in a committed relationship, but she refuse to leave”

“Liar ! I finally found my voice.

“Thessy that’s the truth”

“Please sir, there is just one question I need you to help me ask him. He asked me to come, I was here last month, so I did not even plan to come to Lagos, but he pleaded with me saying he needs me here. So why am I here?"

“So you ask her to come when a crazy girl is living with you? Mrs Martins added.

“The reason why I asked her to come was that I want Anita to see her and knows that I’m serious with what I said about been in a committed relationship. I thought she will leave once she sees Thessy"

“No wonder my spirit held me back from coming, but i ignored the signs. So you brought me here to help you chase your crazy girlfriend away right. I’m sorry your plans did not work out. Tony! Officially, it is over between us”

“Baby please don’t do this, you know I love you, you know have never cheated on you before now, please forgive me this time, it won’t happen again, I promise…..

“Keep those promises to yourself, you will need it in your next relationship. I never knew you are such a reprobate, sleeping with a random girl, someone you met in a club?”

“Thessy! I’ll do everything to make things right, please forgive me”

“Oh! so that I can die abi, I’m sorry I love my life, didn’t you hear her, she promise to kill me if I don’t leave her man or you think it’s just an empty threat? I doubt that and I’m not ready to die for a man, I’m Thessy and not Jesus”

“Thessy, you travelled a long journey, I think you should shower, eat and sleep, we will sought things out tomorrow” said Mrs Martins

“Thank you very much ma, but I’m leaving, I can’t stay here, I have a friend here in Lagos, I’ll pass the night at her place”

“You are going no where Thessy, its late and risky its 10:30pm”said Mrs Martins

“She’s right, you can sleep here, you can sleep here too Tony, I don’t trust that crazy girl ” Mr Martins added.

“Then I’ll leave sir, we can’t sleep under the same roof, let him go and sleep with his lunatic girlfriend” I said

Tony thanked the couple for their hospitality.

“Thessy I’m sorry for putting you through all this” he said and left for his apartment.

Mrs Martins prepared the guest room, she serve me dinner, but I can’t eat, I already lost my appetite.

I called Wemmy and told her everything that happened, she promise to come and pick me the next day. I cried uncontrollably, I’ve never been humiliated in my whole life, Mrs Martins heard my cry, she came in and comforted me. I slept in a stranger’s house while my boyfriend was with his crazy girlfriend. I’ll live to tell the story.

I FELL IN LOVE

Episode 1

Wemimo Olatunji was standing under a tree taking refuge under its shade, She was waiting impatiently in front of her friend's department checking her wrist watch every minute. She wants to buy some materials for her project and Tessy promise to take her to the place where she could get the materials in large quantity.

“ Tessy ! Is this your 2pm ? She confronted her immediately she sighted her”

“I’m so sorry Wemmy, the lecture ought to end by 2pm but the Lecturer stayed for another 30min”

“OK o,apology accepted, shall we”

“Yes please”

Wemmy and Tessy are close friends since there 100level days although they are not in the same department but they were room mates in 100l, they live separately now but still there friendship grew stronger over the years. They are in their final year and they are more like sisters now. They came back with the materials she bought,she was about to unlock the door to her room when she noticed that someone was inside.

“I think your boyfriend is around” Tessy teased with a wink. Emmanuel opened the door and they all exchanged greetings.

“How did it go, did you get all the materials? “

“Yes we did, thanks to Tessy she knows virtually everywhere in this town.

“Thank you Tessy you are a darling” he said

“Come off it Emmanuel what are friends for.

Wemmy prepared food and they all ate, her boyfriend was the first to leave while Tessy stayed for a while.

Wemmy and Emmanuel have been dating for the past two years and He love her so much. He could do anything for her,if she’s too tired to cook, he will come over to cook for her and help her with her domestic chores. There was a time she was admitted at the school clinic, Emmanuel stayed with her all through, he missed lectures and test. He was so sweet and Wemmy appreciates all these, so she respected and cherished him in return.

Wemmy was on her way out when Thessy called her phone.

“Hello dear, Thessy said from the other side”

“Hello Thess, how’s your weekend going”

“Fine,I’m on my way to your place, I want to copy some files on your laptop “

“I’m on my way to Emmanuel’s lodge,you have a copy of my key,so help your self”

“The key is not here with me,just wait for me abeg I’ll be there in 10min

“OK,I’ll wait”

Few minutes later Thessy arrived. “I’ll be leaving now,you can drop my key with Sophia when you are through.

“Who is Sophia,that jambite?” she asked

“Yes,she’s a good girl I can trust her with my key.


Episode 2

Wemmy got to Emmanuel's lodge but lo and behold he’s not in. She open her purse to use her copy of Emmanuel’s key then she remembered she left her bunch of key with Thessy. She picked her phone and called his line.

“Where are you? I’m at your place and my key is not with me”

"Sweetheart I’m sorry, I just got a call from my supervisor, he ask me to come over to his house, I was so much in a hurry that I forgot to inform you."

“It’s OK”

“You know what ?I won’t take long, you can stay with my flatmate, he’s around I will give him a call now”

“You mean the guy that just move in?you know we don’t get along well in fact we barely talk”

“That’s because you didn’t get to know him, he’s a great guy, he’ll keep you company till I come back”

“OK you can call him then” she said reluctantly and ended the call"

Emmanuel put a call through to Feranmi and told him his girlfriend need to stay with him till he comes back.

Feranmi came out and exchanged greetings with Wemmy.
"Emmanuel called, you can stay in my room till he comes back" he said and ushered her in.

“Thank you" she said why scanning the whole room, the room is very neat and well furnished just like Emmanuel’s room, guys this days make their room comfy.

“Your room is nice”

“Thanks please make yourself comfortable plus what can I offer you”

“Cold water will do”

“No, you can’t take only water,he declined”

“Seriously, cold water will do”

He served me chilled water and I thank him. Before I knew it we got talking, I never knew he was someone interesting to be with it. I checked the time it was 2hours already, my boyfriend called and told me he’s still with his supervisor, he took him out to get some things for the project. He pleaded with me to wait for another one hour.

“What did he say” Feranmi asked

“He said I should wait for another one hour, I’m sorry for the inconveniences”

“Not at all, I’m enjoying myself,I never knew you talk like this, I take you for the quiet type” he said

“Me too, I thought staying here with you will be super boring but I was wrong"

We continued our gist and we talked about almost everything. An hour 20min later Emmanuel called back and said he’s still with his supervisor.

" I will take my leave then" I said and he promise to check up on me when he comes back.

“I’d like to take my leave now Emmanuel won’t be coming soon,thanks so much for keeping me company”

“My pleasure, its nice getting to know you and you really made my weekend”

“Really”

“Yes it’s fun having you around and I must confess Emmanuel is really lucky to have an intelligent and friendly lady for a girlfriend”

"Thanks" she said smiling, and he saw her off.


Really interesting story but permit me to point your attention to these few grammatical errors. I will number the corrections following the order the errors appeared. 1. Promised 2/3. Their 4. Loves 5. Would 6.Tests 7.Opened 8.asked 9. Moved 10. Needs 11. While 12. These 13. Thanked 14. Would 15. Promised.
Also, you should try to write differently from the way you speak because that's what make writing unique.
Beautiful story nonetheless. Keep it up.
