THE LAST EPISODE HAS BEEN MODIFIED

Episode 15

Sewa kept on blabbing about her new found love that she wanted Tuesday to meet. Tuesday didn't know if she should take Sewa seriously or just wave her off. Sewa was always like this with every new boyfriend. Every time she found someone new she would tell Tuesday that he was the one. This was the same thing that she had said about Andrew, Biodun, Frank, Nick, and Harry. Now the new catch was TOM whom she had nicknamed "tomtom". Tuesday rolled her eyes.

"I swear Tuesday, this guy is the real deal, he is the one for me, I sincerely love him" Sewa said bouncing like a child seeking for attention.

"This is the same thing that you said about Nick, the very same thing you said about Harry, now it's Tom abi, issokay" Tuesday said picking a book from her shelf. She didn't have the strength for Sewa today, she needed to read for her upcoming exams.

"I don't know why you don't take me seriously" Sewa grumbled and Tuesday laughed.

"You don't make me take you seriously when it comes to relationships" Tuesday said in between fists of laughter.

"This is not fair o, well, that doesn't change the fact that you would still meet him, and even if you don't like him, you would pretend to take him serious" Sewa said with her no nonsense face which made Tuesday even laugh harder.

"Fine, I would see him only if you give me a break to read" Tuesday said giving up and Sewa hugged her, "You're a bae" Sewa said and released her.

"Oya, read your book, na only you come school" Sewa said hitting Tuesday playfully before leaving her.



*******************

"What do you mean by your husband wants to have an affair with Tuesday" Shelia shouted at her daughter with anger. She couldn't believe that she was the one who raised a child this dull.

"That's what I just told you, it's not like you are having problems with your hearing" Candie said with frustration causing her mother to deepen her frown.

"Don't you speak to me like that young lady, what you're meant to be thinking about is how to get Tuesday out of the way. I don't want my hard years of work to go to waste all because of a little girl" Sheila said pacing around the room. Candie frowned.

"Well, you trying to get rid of her once didn't work and now she is back in the picture" Candie said

"We need to think about what to do and not keep laying emphasis on the past" Sheila sat down.

"So what are we going to do?" Candie asked in confusion.

"Get rid of her for good" Sheila said with a straight face. Candie didn't understand what her mother meant by getting rid of Tuesday for good until it clicked.

"You want me to take a life" Candie gasped out in horror.

"I am sure that there was no water in my mouth when I was saying that" Sheila said rolling her eyes.


*************************
Tuesday was in her room reading when Sewa rushed into her room.

"Couldn't you just pretend to knock" Tuesday gasped in mocked frustration.

"Abeg babe, no vex. Tomtom is outside" Sewa said jumping happily.

"I am not interested in taking Tomtom, so if you ha..." Tuesday was cut short by Sewa's laughter.

"Who said anything about giving you Tomtom, my boyfriend Tom is outside and I told him that I would love to introduce him to my best friend" Sewa corrected her.

"Sewa you can disturb for Africa, oya fine, let's go. If that would make you happy" Tuesday said getting up and heading towards the door.

"Don't tell me that is how you are planning on going outside" Sewa said with a sneer. Tuesday almost laughed out. Sewa literally sneered at her.

"What is wrong with how I look" Tuesday grumbled.

"For one your hair is a mess, and for the record your overall is hideous" Sewa said with a smirk.

"Bab that's why he is your boyfriend and not mine, so let's go or I would continue reading what I was reading" Tuesday said with a straight face and she grinned when Sewa sighed.

"Fine, let's go. I don't know why you enjoy falling my hand, I have been bragging about you to him since, that my bestfriend is a dancer and is making waves already in the entertainment industry but you just have to fall my hand now" Sewa said grumbling while they headed outside.

"What do you mean about me making waves already. I have only been featured in two songs as a vixen, how is that making waves?" Tuesday asked baffled causing Sewa to smirk, "Other famous musicians still wants you on their video, how is that not making waves ehn" Sewa asked.

Tuesday was just about to give a comeback reply when Sewa said, "That's him over there" The supposed Tomtom was on a call. He had the same build as someone she knew from her past. The same man who had rejected her.

"Oh my God" she whispered and Tomiwa looked straight at her. Tuesday ran as fast as she could, away from this madness called her life.

Episode 14

Tuesday had traveled back to Ibadan to visit her aunt. She missed her so much.

"Aunt, the guts of that girl, she had the effrontery to come to my house after everything her mother put me through" Tuesday lamented to her aunt who was busy stirring the soup that she was cooking.

"You see that's where you make a mistake, Candie wasn't the one who put you through everything that you suffered. In life, we can't keep blaming others for what we are going through. Yes, you suffered in the hands of her mother, but not Candie. She didn't do anything to hurt you" Her aunt said softly but Tuesday shook her head in disagreement.

"The fruits of a tree aren't far fetched. Candie saw everything that I was going through and never made a move to stop it" Tuesday let out bitterly.

" That still doesn't mean it was Candie's fault" Her aunt said turning to look at her. Tuesday disagreed but she didn't say a word.


*********************

Candie frowned at Nancy, her five year old daughter, "don't do that to your little brother" Candie shouted at Nancy who was pulling her brother's ears. Parenting wasn't an easy thing, no wonder her mum had wanted only one child.
Candie's mind diverted to Tuesday. She looked really different now, with the red hair and her killer bod. Tuesday almost looked prettier than she did, no wonder her husband had been drawn to her. Candie kept tabs on every move that her husband made. You wont blame her, her husband was famous and handsome. What even surprised her was that he had always been faithful until now.....Until he had made enquiries about Tuesday, her sister who she had forgotten existed. When the private investigator had told her who her husband had been searching for, she had known that she had to see Tuesday. She had told the private investigator to find out every single detail about Tuesday and report to her.
She was even more surprised to find out that Tuesday was a stripper or a dancer, whatever they call them and her husband had eyes on her which freaked Candie out. She needed to tell her mother as soon as possible.



************************

Tuesday had just finished rehearsing with the girls when she got a call from Ernest to come to his office.

"Hello Mister" Tuesday said happily walking into his office.

Ernest smiled but Tuesday could tell that he was forcing the smile.

"Have a sit please" Ernest said nodding in the direction of a chair. "Are you alright? you don't look well" Tuesday asked Ernest sincerely worried. She missed the usual glint that his eyes used to have.

"I am good Velvet, I have been meaning to talk to you about something" He said scratching his head. An habit he was used to whenever he was nervous.

"Uhmm, okay, fire away, I am listening" Tuesday urged him to talk.

"Xavier has been making enquiries about you ever since his last performance at the club" Ernest said with worry. Tuesday had known that Xavier would make enquiries about her so she wasn't a bit surprised.

"Okay, he asked questions about me, what did you tell him? "she asked hoping Ernest had not told him about where she lived. The last thing that she wanted was entertaining another unwanted visitor.

"Told him that I didn't know who he was talking about. Who is he to you Velvet?" Ernest asked with so much emotion that shocked the bones out of Tuesday. He sounded like he was in pains just from asking the question.

"He is a man from my past, for the info I never had anything to do with him so it baffles me why he would be asking about me" Tuesday said and she noticed that Xavier sighed.

"What do you mean when you say that he is a man from your past?" Ernest asked in curiosity.

"He is married to my step sister, a story for another time" Tuesday said with a forced smile.

"You can always tell me anything" Ernest said placing a palm on her small hand. Tuesday gave him a curt nod and with that they had an understanding.

Episode 13

Tuesday's eyes opened in shock. There were so many questions running through her mind, how did Candie find her? Why after all this years?

Candie cleared her throat, "Are you going to let me in, or are you going to stand there staring all day?" Candie said with a tight smile. Nothing much had changed in Candie over the years, she still looked as elegant and posh as ever. Candie made Tuesday feel less of herself, even after all this years.

"So sorry, please come in, How did you know where to find me?" Tuesday asked letting Candie in.

"Well you have been a hard one to find. I searched for you after you disappeared with your mother. You gave no clue to where you were going to. You left m Tuesday, all by myself. So many things happened after you left" Candie cried out walking towards a sofa.

Tuesday shrugged, "it wasn't like I had any choice. Your mother threw us out without a penny, knowing fully well that we had nowhere to go" she said throwing her hands in frustration.

Candie sat down with a frown marring her forehead, "If someone had told me that you would have done what you did years back, I would have slapped the person on the face" she spat out causing Tuesday to scoff.

"You're still much a drama queen you know?. you haven't changed one bit. You can't play the guilty card on me, the yellow witch was your mother and you didn't stop her from throwing us out. You have no idea what your mother put us through. Have you even cared to ask where my mother is?" Tuesday waited for Candie to give a reply but got none. "I thought as much, you don't give a flying F, my mother died of cancer while you were too busy leaving your fairy tale life with your mother" Tuesday said bitterly with teary eyes.

"I am so sorry Tutu, I had no idea what was going on, you have got to believe me" Candie pleaded.

"I am sorry but I have to ask you to leave" Tuesday said leaving Candie's mouth opened wide in shock.

"You can't mean that" Candie screeched.

Tuesday laughed cynically, "Yea, I meant every word of what I just said"

Candie stood up shaking her head, "Why are you so bitter Tutu, I wasn't the one who caused you pain" she said walking towards to hold her hand but Tuesday shoved her hands off.

"Don't touch me. You ask why I am bitter, haven't everything I have gone through explained why already. You remind me of Shelia and every thought of your mother makes my skin crawl. Now, I want you to leave and never come back".

Candie wiped away the tears that was already running down her eyes and left without another word.

Leriebloom where are you now?

I am right here

Leriebloom how fa na?

EPISODE 12

Xavier couldn't believe who he just saw. There was no mistaking, that was Tuesday, even if she had tried hard to change looks, he knew that she was the same girl he had been infatuated with years back. The same girl who hadn't given him a second glance and had made him feel like he wasn't deserving of her. There was no denial that he had felt a connection the very first day he had laid eyes on her. He had been drawn to her like a moth drawn to a flame. And when he had spoken to her, he had known that she was bright. She was way bright than her sister ho had only been concerned about looks and her personality. He had married Candie when his heart had belonged to Tuesday who hadn't given a flying F about him.

He had noticed that Tuesday had had eyes on another man. A man who wasn't even up to his standards. When Tuesday had disappeared, he had asked Candie about her, but Candie had waved his question off.

Xavier had made his fair share of mistakes. Marrying Candie had been one of them. Candie had told him that she had been carrying his baby, a baby that he hadn't been sure was his because he had only touched her once. And that was the mistake that he had made, he had touched her. Candie had cried and had sworn that she had never had anything to do with any other man while she had been dating him, and he had believed her. Maybe the reason he had believed her was because of the look that she had had on her face, or because she had weep like a widow when he told her that he had suspicions of the baby not being his, he had no clue. He had never attempted to find out if the child wasn't his, because when he had seen the baby all wrapped up, looking so cute, adorable and fragile, she had reminded him of Tuesday. His marriage wasn't rosy, he was having issues with his wife and he had asked severally for a divorce. The first time had asked for a divorce, Candie had thrown a bomb his way, telling him he was going to be a father again. Xavier had been adamant that he had still wanted the divorce until his father had intervened by telling him that he won't ruin the reputation that his family has by letting his son make such a foolish decision.

Now that Xavier had seen Tuesday, he wanted her. He could have sworn that he had felt a zing. his body had acknowledged her presence even before he had laid eyes on her while he had performing. He needed to find her.

When he sighted the owner of the club, he walked up to him.

'Nice performance you had there' Ernest said shaking hands with Xavier.

Xavier forced a smile. "thanks bro, i need to ask of a little favor"

"okay, if i can help" Ernest said with a curt nod.

"I need to speak to one of your dancers, it's urgent. Her name is Tuesday. She is tall with a caramel skin and has a dimple on her left cheek" Xavier said and he immediately noticed Ernest's countenance change.
"There is no such person with that name and description in this club" Ernest lied and immediately Xavier knew that he was lying. The guy was probably catching feelings already. well, who wouldn't?


***************************

Tuesday frowned.

She was trying really hard to concentrate on her book but she found her mind diverting to Xavier. This wasn't good at all. She had an exam coming up soon and all she could think of was Xavier's expression when he had seen her. What the heck was wrong with her?

She was finding it really hard to understand herself. There was no denial that she had feelings for Ernest, then how the heck did Xavier come into the whole picture to mess her head up? The whole scenario was absurd. She needed to get her head together fast before she finally looses her shit.

She opened another page of the book, pretending to understand what she was reading. Who was she deceiving anyway?!

She hissed and closed her text book with a loud Gbam!

She stood up and was about to go and get a glass of water when she heard a knock.

"Ohhh, Sewa and her Palava, what does she want now" Tuesday mumbled to herself walking to open the door.

"See Sewa, i don't have strength for this your..........." she was cut short when she opened the door.
"Hello sister" it wasn't Sewa but Candie, her past was catching up pretty fast.

marvwhite:
nice one......




#fromYourNewestFan

Awwn. Thanks

Creeza:
. You go pay o! just kidding.


Don't take it the harsh way. I just read the story and said what I thought about t.

Well smh!!! I comment my reserve.

Lol. Harsh way keh. I actually liked what you said

Creeza:
Here is your push!

Its so sad the way Tuesday lost her mom. And her aunt has really been nice to her. But I doubt if that will continue ( remember she said - I mean Tuesday _ that everyone around her always leaves her)


This xavier of a guy , hmmm ' my fingers are still crossed. Watching.
Might cause big problems for Tuesy and Candie.



In all, nice story line. Its so disheartening to see that a lot of men are cheaters and slimy liers. To me, there is no harm in wanting a second wife but it becomes a crime when you are afraid of airing your views to both women involved. Be honest to them and who wants to stay will stay, who decides otherwise will leave.

I know quite a lot of families that are polygamous and the wives are even much closer to each other like sisters. It happens!


And the secret is : how the man treats them . Equal.

. More pls , leriebloom . Been a while though. Where you waka go?


And my runaway bride harameede99 . Hope you are well now? E don tey o

Thank you my ever loyal friend I won't stop

harameede99:
well I like d story pls continue don't b discouraged

Thanks, I really needed a push

Episode 11

Tuesday stared at her self in the mirror. She was wearing a black jeggings and a sweat shirt. She was going for tryouts at Earnest club and she kept lying to herself that she had not taken a little extra time to look pretty for him because she had chosen something really simple to wear but the makeup on her face betrayed her. She had taken a little extra time to apply her makeup. Instead of her usual nude lippie, she had gone for a bold red lipstick. She had taken extra time to straighten out her curls.

The knock on her door diverted her attention from her thoughts.

"Who is it?" She called out, going to pick her trainers.

"It's Sewa jare" the voice called.

"Let yourself in, the door is opened" Tuesday said wearing her trainers.

Sewa strolled in with a silly smile on her face.

"Babe, you sure say na only tryout you dey go do or na another thing they make you paint face anyhow" Sewa said observing Tuesday like a lab rat.

"What's wrong with my face?, is the makeup too much?" Tuesday asked panicking.

"No, you fine, but since wey u don come this lodge, I never see u carry red lipstick" Sewa wiggled her brows.

"Oh that, I just needed something different today" she said standing up and grabbing her purse.

"Hmmn, I no talk anything again. Waka dey go. No forget tell Ernest I greet am" Sewa said walking out of the room. Then she turned around. Tuesday was about screaming, "just go now" when Sewa said "make sure to break a leg"

Tuesday gave a genuine smile, "Thanks babe".

**********

When Tuesday got to the club, her mouth dropped. The club screamed money. She partially gawked marvelling at the beauty of the club.
This Ernest guy was stinking rich.
She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
" Sorry to startle you" Ernest said politely.
"Uhhm, it's no problem, I guess" Tuesday said feeling heat rise up her neck. She was blushing. She mentally slapped herself.
"You look breathtaking" Ernest said looking at her face, waiting for a reaction. If there was one thing that he was sure of, it was the fact that he liked Velvet. A lot.

"Thank you?" Tuesday said not so sure of what to say. She really sucked at this.

"Okay, let's get you to the dance studio" Ernest said leading the way. As they walked, Tuesday noticed the death stares that some of the female employees were giving her.

" I don't think I am loved much here" Tuesday said.

Ernest gave a short laugh, "ignore them, I guess they are only marvelling at the beauty walking beside me" he said.

Tuesday loved his voice. She had never dated a guy before and the first and the only guy she had ever kissed had wanted nothing to do with her. She really couldn't see the beauty that he was talking about.

"We are here" Ernest said as they entered an empty room filled with mirrors.

"Uhmmn, am I going to be dancing in front of just you?" Tuesday stuttered and Ernest laughed.

"Yea, and would that be a problem?" Ernest asked folding his arms.

"No, no, no, it won't" Tuesday rushed out quickly.

"Okay good. Let's see what you got" he said sitting on a couch that was set aside in the corner.

Tuesday took a deep breath as she brought out her phone from her purse. Scrolling down her songs, she played Chris Brown's privacy. She had no idea why she chose that song. Guess it was her subconscious trying to play naughty.

Ernest stared at Tuesday with a raised brow, her song choice surprising him. He had thought she would have gone for a song less explicit . He stared at her curves, how each and every move she made seemed to be erotic and graceful . Tuesday never took her eyes off him, her heart beating rapidly.
Tuesday felt heat radiate through her. Sweat gliding the middle of her breasts. Ernest kept staring, taking ragged short breathe.
Her moves left him breathless.
Ernest clapped when she was done dancing.
"I must say you dance really well. I would be really stupid to let you go without working for me, welcome to E29" he said with a smile. Tuesday jumped happily.
"Thank you so much" she said sheepishly.

****

Weeks went by with Tuesday working for the club and trying to keep her studies in line.
One Friday night, club E29 invited Xavier as the guest artist or perform. Tuesday couldn't believe she was seeing him. He reminded her of the past that she tried so hard to forget. She had seen him on Tv several times. It was hard not to because he was trending big time. What she couldn't believe was that she would ever see him in person.

To make everything worse, she was part of the lead dancers that was dancing on stage for his performance. There was no hiding place for her. She took a deep breath as she ajusted her lipstick. Someone tapped on her shoulder which drew her attention. It was of the dancers that she had gotten accustomed to in the club. She was the only friendly person she had met here.

"It's time Velvet" Titi said calling her by her stage name.

"Alright, let's go" she said following Titi to the back stage. Xavier was there but he had not noticed her.

Xavier was introduced and called on stage. When he started singing, the dancers started trooping in on stage with Velvet at the front. As they danced Xavier turned to her and his eyes opened in shock. He remembered her.

Episode 10

Tuesday smiled . She was in Lagos already. She couldn't believe it. She was finally going to study her dream course. Computer Engineering.

She walked into her new apartment that with her luggage. Her aunt had helped her furnish it. She loved it. She locked the door and carried her bags to the room. She started unpacking when she heard a knock on the door.

"I wonder who it is" she thought aloud. She looked through the peephole and saw a girl with a blond low cut.

"Hello, you are the new neighbour right. Came to welcome you" The girl said cheerfully holding a wine bottle. Tuesday brow rose. She didn't know people in unilag were this nice.

"Thank you and you can come in" Tuesday said with a friendly smile. This was the beginning of their friendship.

♥♥♥

Tuesday was just coming out of class when her phone buzzed. It was Sewa, her new found friend.

"Babe watsup, where are you?" Sewa asked.

"Just coming out of class, watsup?" Tuesday replied.

"I am hanging out with some friends at Domino's. Come join us" Sewa replied.

"On my way, I am famished...see you in a bit" Tuesday said hanging up.

♥♥♥

When she got to Domino's, it wasn't hard for Tuesday to locate her friends.

"So guys meet my friend Velvet" Sewa said with a big smile.

Velvet sized the guys up. One was huge and bearded but was really cute. He seemed like the quiet one, while the other guy was of average height and a bit bald but he wasn't bad on the eyes.

"Hey dear I am Ope" the average heighted guy said shaking hands with Tuesday.

"Nice meeting you guys" Tuesday said taking a sit.

"I love the colour of your hair, it suits your name" Ope said touching a strand.

"Thank you" Tuesday said flashing her teeth.

"Velvet is a dancer too and she is really good at it" Sewa said scooping her ice cream.

Tuesday noticed that Sewa's words got the bearded guy attention.

"That's nice. I own a club and we are hiring presently. Feel free to try out. By the way, I am Ernest" the bearded guy said stretching his hand for a shake.

Immediately Tuesday's hand touched his, she felt a zing, in fact, so many zings. This was all new to her. She had lost all words she had been about to say.

"Ermmm...uhh...okay..I would" she managed to croak out.

****

Sewa was wiggling her brows and was staring at Velvet.

"You like him" sewa said with a creepy smile.

"I like who?" Tuesday asked pretending like she didn't know what he was talking about.

"Stop Jor. You know who I am talking about, just drop the pretense. I am talking about Ernest" Sewa said watching Tuesday to see any reactions.

"And how would you know that" Tuesday asked

"Well, the both of you were busy eating each other out with your eyes. It was that obvious" Sewa said causing Tuesday to roll her eyes.

"Come on Sewa, be more realistic" Tuesday waved her off.

Sewa smirked knowingly, "anyhow sha, I know say you like the guy, no dey form" she said causing Tuesday to roll her eyes.
"I have some things to do since you refuse to tell me you feel something for Ernest" Sewa said standing up.

"Okay babe, later" Tuesday said happy to have her alone time.
She pulled out her father's journal from a box. It wouldn't be so bad to read it now that she had the time.

04-03-1997

She acted like the perfect wife in front of my parents but behind their back, she treated me with no respect. Sometime last week she provoked me and I slapped her. Something that I have never done in my life. She made me regret it.
Last night I woke up and saw my wife with a knife, she was planning to kill me.

Tuesday gasped in horror. She knew her step mum was a bitch but what she didn't know was that her step mum was this evil. She continued reading.

"I asked her what she had tried to do but she kept giving me flimsy excuses. It was then I knew that I wasn't even safe under my own roof"

Tuesday concentrated on the journal reading word for word, not wanting to miss out any detail.

13-06-1997

"Today I met the most gorgeous woman in my life. Her beauty was breath taking and she had this touch of innocence to it. She was a maid who worked for me at my house in Ibadan. Her name is Titi. I want her. I want her so bad that it makes it difficult for me to breathe.

18-08-1997

Today is one of the best days of my life. I finally got to have a taste of Titi. We kissed and it was obvious she was new at it but her lips were..." Tuesday skipped some pages, she wasn't ready to know how her father made love to her mum. The thought alone gave her the creeps.


01-09-1997

Today I found out Titi was pregnant and that was the best news I had ever gotten. Today I told her the truth, that I was married. I could see the hurt in her eyes, I felt I had betrayed her trust by keeping the truth away from her.
Shelia on the other hand has been on my neck, asking me to come back to Lagos but I refused. I need to sort things out with Titi"

Tuesday frowned. All men were the same after all. They were a bunch of liars and cheats.

She closed the journal.
