Good, nice one there. I like Jide, he was nice enough to even accept marrying lovely dee, but she can't force her love on him and expect everything to b rosy. I think she should earn his love and he shuld really see her for who she is b4 accepting her completely. With dee's nature she can get any man she wants, even Jide. No vex babe, are u a princess? Is ur name Princess Ada? |

Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 3:08pm On May 01, 2013 |
My sincerest apologies for the break in transmission. I had other issues needing my time, my notes needed updating, my assignment craved my attention and then i said before that i dint have an unlimited access to the internet. That was also a hindrance, plus writing this story takes most of my day and time so here goes chapter 5 completion i appreciate that you guyz are here. Happy new month! #my reply coming up shortly# |

******** Daisy walked unsteadily towards Jide's study, it had taken all the strength she could, to actually make this move. The photographer had to be paid, he would be coming on Saturday; there was practically nothing in the house to eat and She couldn't possibly starve! Her resolution firmer, she got to the door but hesitated some seconds before knocking softly, like the door would bite if she knocked any louder. No response from inside. She was about knocking again when she heard Jide's voice. She opened the door gently and stepped in standing an inch from door, she however made no move to go further. Jide had been writing when he heard the knock, he was surprised 'cos he knew there was only one person in the house who would be knocking & he was curious to know what she wanted. Now she was standing at the door and didn't seem to want to come any further, she was holding something like a parcel, he wasn't sure what it was, she didn't say anything either, she just stood lost in thought and glancing round his room. He considered the woman that stood before him, she was pretty, though not any prettier than his girlfriend. Grace qualified now as an ex, he thought drily, they should be of the same height he guessed, she was 26, he remembered his grandmother had said when he had inquired of her age, then he had accused her of wanting to get him hooked with an immature girl, but now as he examined her in that shirt of his she had annoyingly decided to turn into her nightwear, she wasn't immatured in any way, she had the curves at the right places with that bossom of hers that was guaranteed to drive him mad if he ever let his guards down, she was all feminine and any man would appreciate that she was their wife, but that man wasn't him, she wasn't his hand picked choice, she was forced on him through treachery and manipulation of his family and that grandmother of his whom he had loved dearly but obviously not anymore, she had betrayed his love and trust in the most unforgivable way. Jide anger rose automatically when he considered all this, he turned now to the document on his table, if Daisy was going to stand there forever, he would gladly watch her do so. Daisy stood lost in her perusal of the study now turned Jide's bedroom. It didn't look homely to her, it had a bed jammed to the wall at one side and a shelf stacked with books at the other, jide was perched on a chair and an adjoining desk, writing 'who knows what'. Daisy wondered why a warm blooded handsome hunk would decide to camp in this unromantic crib, when a sexy willing damsel waited with open arms just a room away, eager to fulfill his fantasies. She smiled at her silly thoughts and caught herself, realizing only then that she had been standing at the door without uttering a word. She looked at Jide now, he had continued writing and the expression on his face made all her earlier thought and strength shrivel and in place was an unexplainable fright. 'hi' she said softly. Jide continued writing, without a glance her way. His coldness got to her and she looked down at the picture album she was holding. Another painful silence. 'Daisy, what do you f.ucking want?' Jide asked angrily, he wasn't sure he could ignore her forever again, her presence was making him uncomfortable to his chagrin and he just wanted her miles away, if he didn't want to lose concentration or let his guards fall! Daisy flinched at his tone and her face became all sober and sulky like she would break down in tears the next minute. Jide noticed her facial expression and even though he wasn't sure if it was real or faked, it affected his anger, he found it melting down that he couldn't keep it up, this scared him more and now he really wanted her to be off and done with. 'I don't think you set out to come showcase yourself to me this evening, so say what you want and be off from my presence' he said, his tone however held not the trace of anger it had before. Daisy, finding strength in his renewed tone spoke: 'uhm, sorry to disturb, but i uhm...the wedding photographer came today and he...uhm, you know wanted...uhm, money for the pictures he brought in today and i don't...' she was stammering, her face down all the while, she did so whenever she was nervous. Jide was amused by the way she was speaking, it showed she wasn't all that strong and resilient as she had shown, he resolved to make it harder for her. 'don't you feel silly, standing there and talking to me about pictures of a wedding you know i don't care about?' Daisy stared at him now 'I...I...well...the man said on Saturday...I told him..uhm...promised him that his money...but my bank...' Jide was trying hard to stifle a laugh, that was surprising. Daisy was amusing him silly with all her stammering, he didn't remember her to have speech problems, and he thought that the faster she was gone, the better for him. 5 Likes |

'is that all?' he asked and resumed his writing. 'uhm...no...I also...need...no...not me...just that there isnt any food...' 'food and pictures brought you here, which automatically means money...' he was saying. 'not exactly like that...' Daisy wanted to protest but jide's raised hand signalled her to stop. 'I have heard you' he said with finality. More like 'I have heard all your stammering' he thought amusingly but his face held no smile. He wasn't even looking at the pitiful sight of Daisy at the door. Daisy curtised mentally and left his presence closing the door softly behind her. Once out, she relaxed her back on the wall, she realised she was shaking inwardly, she raised her hand to her forehead and felt she was sweating too, She became angry with herself. What was it about his presence that turned her into Jelly butter, she thought. 'I bet Grace would be bolder in his presence' she said angrily as she walked to her room now. 'such a chicken livered Daisy!' she continued and banged the door of her room like it had been the one who upset her. Grace had been the caller of the afternoon, Daisy recognized her immediately as the 'lady on red' from the picture and wedding. She became a trifle jealous, because Grace was a stunner and she was as nasty as she was pretty too. She had gone on about how Daisy appeared from nowhere to steal her man and how she was not gonna give up without a fight, how she would wait for the day Jide would definitely push Daisy away with the messiest divorce she (Daisy) had ever known and how the pain would be greater than the scandalous wedding she had...bla bla bla... Daisy was all calm throughout the exchange, she was only grateful that her emotions didn't give up on her, the worst she could have done was to whimper and give up a tear in front of that woman! She wished she was all bitchty like Brenda her friend. She would have given her a piece of her mind too. But she wasn't and all she had done was to tell the irate Grace to kindly leave her home when she was done, then she had left her standing in the parlour. She didn't know when Grace left cursing fire and brimstone. She just went to her room to sulk, but bounced back to her cheerful self hours later and started preparing for the confrontation with Jide. Jide however, had not been aware of Grace's visit to his home, he had last seen her at the wedding. The next morning he dropped a considerable amount of money for Daisy on the Dining and that became his routine, dropping money weekly for Daisy on the dining to buy whatever things she needed for the home or her personal effects. she should well know that his love and attention wasn't hers, but she could eat and fatten up for all he cared. He however, never ate the food Daisy unrelentingly prepared and left on the dining daily for him, until weeks later, he reconsidered and started eating the breakfast and dinner that was readily and steadily available for him. He reasoned that since it was his money she used in preparing the food and couldn't possibly poison him, they was no reason skipping it and waste money eating out. But that was where the contact ended, he didn't go any further. They lived like familiar strangers up on till... Chapter 5 ends. 5 Likes 1 Share |
