For me o, I say Daisy has asperger's syndrome! How can a guy treat you that way and you've not started plotting for his demise already? Daisy is too calm jor! Omo yankee should start wising up soon. As for Jide, wish I could get my hands around his neck. I like the aprokoism between adamu and okon, quite funny. All in all, still going good, princessa,is Daisy still going to go through much more humiliation? can't wait to see it unravel and Jide pay for his sins. |

Don't mind princess. She is trying to stretch the story to its limit. |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 8:24am On May 13, 2013 |
Neduzze5: yeah, am working with a plot outline too...... no one is seeing Jide's side of the whole issue, he too needs to have a pound of flesh, he's as much a victim as Daisy, so let's give him a break too, even the guys are against him! thanks |
Re: Story: Taking Chances by Eneze1(f): 9:20am On May 13, 2013 |

******** Daisy switched absentmindely between the numerous station that DSTV offers, they didn't catch her fancy anymore. The events of previous months gone by had dragged her head out of the clouds and align it with reality. She realised albeit belatedly that the Life of the Kardasians for example were so different from the life of an average Nigerian family. This was Africa, not America where everything goes, you don't play by the movie rule here, everybody wasn't so nice and people didn't fall in love with you, just because you harbored secret fantasy about them or eventually agreed to marry them. Everyone was up and doing, looking for a means to better their life, they didn't have time to become love sick, theirs was a give and take drill, almost never a 'happily ever after' affair. '...reality sting Daisy, this is not some Africa Magic s.hit' Those were the words of Jide that night, words that ceaselessly tormented her whenever she allowed her mind wander. Daisy station search hit Africa Magic and she halted for a minute. A scene of some Nollywood actors having a beach party was showing. Daisy rolled her eyes disgustingly, what planet were these guys from? She wondered angrily and switched off the Tele. Long ago, she would have been hooked. Not anymore. With a sigh, she stood up and made for the door, a walk round the estate would do a refreshing work she thought. The shriek of her phone halted her, it was vibrating noisily on the dining. 'forgot that' she said and retraced her step. Daisy didn't have much callers, just mama and Brenda. She mostly didn't even remember she had a phone except at night or times when she wanted to listen to music with it. 'Hello' she said. Two guesses and you would know who was calling. 'Dee what's up' the other end replied. 'nothing's new. locked in that's what's up' 'Get a life girl. Jeez!' Brenda said irritated. Daisy sighed, she had no idea on how to accomplish that. 'How's Boston...' Daisy was saying, she wasn't in the mood for 'get a life' tutorial from Brenda. she had unrelently made it a duty to tutor her whenever she called. But then it was easy for Brenda to say, she had families here, even had a life waiting for her whenever she decided to come back home. What had she? It was best if they just ended the call right not. 'Don't try to side track the issue here, how many times have i...' 'oh, Bree, please don't start okay. was on my way out when you called, if you don't have...' Daisy was saying with, her raised voice. 'oh yes! go on! shout at me! let me take the blame! come on! am the one who gets the anger while that mothafucka dude goes around tripping! Keep shouting girl' Brenda shouted angrily. Daisy kept quite. That had touch a cord. 'Am sorry Dee, but am pained to see my friend going through this, you are nolonger Daisy the flower, you are a shadow of yourself, i dont know if i can recognise you again. If you sound this way, then who knows how...' 'That's okay, i don't need pity you know!' Daisy cut in. When would people stop rubbing it in, yes she'd made a mistake, so what? Why should they crucify her? Mama kept telling her to get closer to the family, but she didn't want to. why wont they still let her be! 'I don't need pity okay!' she repeated almost shouting. 'And pity you wont get! Fighting is what you are gonna do, so you better get ready!' Daisy shook her head bitterly, this wasn't a thug of war, she simply wasn't like her, she couldn't stand Jide, all she wanted to do was run in his presence. Her broken heart couldn't handle another rejection. 'Are you there?' Brenda called, Daisy had been silent. 'Am here, but going out soon, you've ruined my mood already' Daisy replied exasperated. 'I intend knocking you out of your inertia too' Brenda said undeterred. She had called for something else, but her friend's mood was really getting on her nerves. 'How do you intend to do that, this is Nigeria you know, the men here are different' 'Not the men exactly, but the environment, even the leverage ladies over there give! No! Its this beaten up, am-a-poor-trodden-defeated-piece-of-shit attitude you manifest in front of that man, that's what different!' Bree replied angrily, she felt like shaking Daisy out of her inertia. 'Is this why you even called!' Daisy shouted angrily wondering why she hadn't cut the call already. 'No! i called to inform you that am hitting Lagos next week!' Brenda shouted back. It slowly hit Daisy. 'you are not kidding me' she asked calmly. 'I don't kid, i deliver!' Brenda shouted, still angry. Daisy rendered a heart piercing scream, it was hard to imagine she had been the down beaten girl of minutes ago. 'jeez Dee calm down!' Brenda said, her anger subsided now. 'oh you! Why didn't you tell me!' Daisy said, trying hard to contain her excitement. 'forgotten how pathetic you were minutes ago?' 3 Likes |

'oh! Forgive my 'patheticness', like for real you're gonna be in Nigeria!' she asked, still excited. 'real as hell, told you Africa calls' 'And a lovely sound she made too!' Daisy added. 'So Girlfriend, get prepared to get your life back.' Brenda said matter of factly. 'you are the life i need Bree, God i can't wait!'. 'Next Saturday and am touching down, so keep a date with me' 'I definitely will!' Daisy replied excited still. 'get good life till i come' 'i will!' Daisy replied differently for the first time since she had been hearing that phrase. 'catch ya later then' Brenda said and cut the call. Daisy gave another bout of scream before slumping on a close settee. Nobody can ever imagine what it meant for Bree to come around! A family and a friend, that's what she is. She would definitely get her life back, Jide wasn't gonna stop her, infact she would work on moving on and forgetting the one mistake she had made. Life wasn't so cruel to her afterall and she wasn't gonna be miserable. 'Am coming home, coming home, tell the world...'she sang happily to J. cole song. For It expressed how she presently felt. All the heartache for five painful month locked in this marital sham, was gonna soon be over or atleast bearable. She smiled once more and sang on happily. ******** End of chapter 8 phew! can't promise on when the next update will be posted, I've discovered am not good at keeping promises besides am going on a 'rag-day' spree, make sure you drop a coin or two when you see me, atleast to say thank you for the story thanks for reading, love you all.

Re: Story: Taking Chances by Nobody: 5:38pm On May 14, 2013 |
Wow, am jez seeing this now. Am i read from page 1. My observations:. Jide is a nice guy, but angry at the tot of forcing a gal on him, he has his life b4 d daisy gal came around and you guys dont expect him 2 love her just lyk dat,and forget his own galfrnd, even daisy get luck say him no dey carry grace come house come meet am. Na then she go know dat its only in movies dat d person u av a crush on or fantasy will accept u or love u, if dat s d case, angelina jolie would av been my wife, also jide has justified his reason 4 d coldness towards daisy, so i for cut him some slacks if not dat princesa and daisy don make slacks scarce 4 market. Daisy sef funny o. So she no fit go anywhere even if she no get frnds she no fit go amusement parks,or museum she con stay 4 house dey give dat guy food, d guy wey she suppose forget patapata, well, let me wait and see how d matter go take go. 3 Likes |
