Okay, it's official... Fola watch your back, cause I'm coming for Dibz too.

He's made it to my list of fictional crushes ranking in between Michael Hosea and Tamlin.

If there's an award for Marijuana cutest YA couple, it will be Dibz and Fola or Dibz and me

Hmm....are you sure you challenge Fola? A whole queen B

Fire

Cool...carry on

Sorry I've been AWOL lately, I just didn't think it'd be right to be posting while the country was in such mad times. We move tho, as long as God's got us, We'd win eventually, its inevitable.

Fola's POV

You know what they say about how relentless you can be when you have a driving force in your heart? Honestly, no statement has been truer. Now I know how Edison was able to relentless keep his head up and forge ahead despite such an amount of failures. Right now my driving force isn't a thing but a person. Hailey. Just the thought of her spurs me on like nothing ever has. Unfortunately, my new found unhealthy dedication to bring her down has put a huge strain on my relationship, not just with Dibz but with my friends too. I've read books on books about strategy, war, manipulation and all other dark arts of winning. The guilt I feel whenever I ignore Dibz's calls or even when I duck whenever i sight him coming my way or even worse when I had to lie and pay the receptionist to tell him(Dibz) that I'm not in whenever he comes to see me at home, eats me up totally but I can't just find it in me to act normal like everything is alright when I know it's not. Yes, I'm greatly disturbed by the talk we had about where his mum stands where I'm concerned. I just can't help but feel it's only a matter of time before he succumbs to her wishes and it's over between us. I swear that's going to hurt much worse and that's why I have to take Hailey down. I've got to warm my way back to his family. So I'm not just doing this for Dibz, and I'm doing it for myself too and Hailey better watch out cus she's not gonna know what hit her.

Now to the big question, which is how exactly am I going to get her down? It'd easy to talk a big name and even harder to put your money where your mouth is. I've thought of every strategy possible but none was good enough to get proof of her misdeeds or even get a confession out of her. I thought of befriending her again to you know, kinda get closer to her but I doubt she want it, because I doubt anyone would want to be friends with the girlfriend of someone they are in love with. I know I wouldn't and besides it'd look abit suspicious too. If Hailey became nice to me and started all chummy with me , I'd be suspicious too so being friends would be out of the question. I walked, sat, walked again, folding and throwing notes of continuous foiled plans. My brained was fried from too much and right now, the plan in my mind for was kidnap her and dump her where she'd never be found again, say the Bermuda triangle. I dumped myself on my bedroom floor and as I took in the ceiling, wondering how I was going to deal with this situation. I felt exhausted but somehow my mind didn't seem to want to rest it out. I'm sapped, don't know what to do anymore but by some strange luck, my fried brain is still centred on how I was going to take down Hailey. I mean how possible is that? This is really turning into some psychotic addition of some sort.

'My God', I gasped as I sat up immediately. Suddenly feeling frightened by my last thought.

"What if I'm going crazy?", I asked rhetorically in a soft whisper. "Oh my God, this is who sociopaths are formed", I gasped again.

'But it's for a good cause', I thought to myself.

'I bet that's how every sociopath justifies their actions', another voice in my head popped up.
Before I knew what was happening, I was having a mild anxiety attack. I rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face and i took slow steady breaths to calm my nerves.
"Damn you, Hailey", I cursed quietly as I started becoming normal slowly. I really should take a break from all these for a while.
My phone rang just then and when I saw the caller ID I paused a little. It was the reception desk, meaning someone wanted to see me and by someone I meant Dibz. It is because he's the only one I put the sanction on.

"Hello Ma, your boyfriend just pulled up in the driveway now. Should I tell him you're not in as usual?", He asked. I felt that guilt all over again. Heaven knows right now, at this very moment I didn't want anything more than to be in his arms now, but I can't see him just yet, not when I feel it won't last, no.

"Hello Ma, are you still there?", He asked again when I didn't say anything.

"Yes yes, tell him I'm not in", I said, my voiced croaked by the sob at the brink of flooding my being soon. I immediately disconnected the call and cried into my pillow.

[/color]Dibz's POV

[color=#000000] I smiled at the male receptionist as he began to tell me the words my ears had grown accustomed to hearing for the past two weeks now. This time though, I smiled because nothing and I repeat nothing was going to make me leave this building without seeing her.

"You and I know you're lying now", I said still smiling at him. " But I understand sha, tell you what, I'd pay you triple of whatever tips she's giving you to keep me off", I said as I fished out my wallet.

"I'm sorry sir, but I won't condone such allegations from you against me, how...", He was saying before I dropped two $1000 bills on the desk.

"All I'm asking is that you just let me in. I can even say I forced my way in or I even hit you if you're worried she'd feel betrayed by you. Please,
I really love her and these weeks without being able to see her has been hell. Please help me out", I pleaded.

"I'm sorry about that sir but as I've said already, she's not in and I can't let you in", He said unflinchingly. "But maybe if you can add another thousand then I might be able to say I wasn't on seat when you walked past to her apartment",he said, smiling coyly.
I looked at him and smiled, shaking my head slowly.

" I'm sure you know who I am and that's why you just asked for more. But what you might not know is I'm heading my father's multimillion naira business and I didn't get there by allowing myself to bullied by people especially by a mere receptionist. What I just gave you is equivalent to #760k which is a whole lot bigger than your give months salary but you're asking for more, which is just the height of greed and I don't do well with greedy people and so I'm retracting my previous offer and you're still going to let me see her", I said calmly and I pocketed back my $2000 . The receptionist looked taken aback for sometime, before he regained composure and gave me a smile of his own too.

" That being said, I guess we're done here. You can leave now or else I'd call security and inform them about how you're being a nuisance now", he said, with that useless smirk still on his face.

"You see, I knew you'd say something like that. Now lemme tell you what's gon happen little boy, this building is owned by Chief Adebayo Philips who happens to be a friend of my family and I'm going to purchase this building from him, even if I have to overpay and when he eventually sells to me, guess what's going to be my first action as owner? Yup, you guessed right, I'm going to fire your a** outta here and then I'd blacklist you such that you won't even be able to be hired in a nursery school . So you can either call my bluff or just let me in now", I said icily, not breaking a breath. I made sure to keep a smile on my face so he'd not really see how desperate and shaky I was on the inside. Good thing I got my own copy of ' Art of War' after I saw it in Fola's room the last time I was there. I got it as a result of fear to prep myself for whatever it is she was planning, didn't know it come in handy in a situation like this.

"Go in", he said humbly this time around with his head down. I smiled and walked past him but turned back and dropped the $2000 back on the desk for him, then I walked off.

I got to her door and pressed the bell. Coukd have just used the spare key card she gave me but I wanted her to be the one to let me in.

In a few seconds, the door was yanked open by her and her face turned to shock when she saw me. What I noticed tho, was her eyes were red and her nose was running, which only meant one thing, she'd been crying.

" Dibz?", She said shocked. "How....how...I..I mean what...", She stuttered quietly but I just hugged her, tightly. And then that's when the waterworks began again, she hugged me back and cried. She held me tightly as she soaked my shirt with her tears. Honestly, I didn't care about the shirt. I was too pained to notice that. I hated it anytime she cried, it just made me extremely sad. I came here to confront her about why she's been avoiding me since but now I just feel mad at myself for giving her the space, seeing as she's hurting badly now.

"I'm... I'm...I'm sorry", she sobbed as she cried into the crook of my neck.

" Shhh", I soothed as I gently rubbed her back.
We remained like that for quite a while before, I entered the apartment and shut the door. I led her to the couch while I went to her kitchen to make coffee to relax her abit.

"Thank you", she said quietly as I handed her a mug of coffee and I sat down beside her.
She finished it in silence and the silence ensued even after .

" I'm sorry", she said as she took my hand in hers.

"It's ok", I said as I drew her closer to me and laid her head on my laps.

" I got scared", she began as I stroke her hair gently. " After the convo about your mum", she continued. I just nodded not wanting to rush her, she'd tell me at her own pace.

" I felt you'd eventually leave me and listen to your mum and so I decided to figure out a way to get Hailey so I'd seem more acceptable to your family. I stayed away because I felt being away from your now would prep me for when it would happen if I failed in my plans. I just...I just live you so much, so so much that I cant just imagine life without you. I'd die, I swear I'd die...", She was saying and started crying again.
Not knowing how to calm her down, I bent my head down and kissed her. I kissed till she kissed me back and we drew me down the more. I paused to look at her and smiled.

"I'd never even think of leaving you Fola, no matter what happens. I'm sorry but you've got me for life babe, its your curse to bear", I said softly to her. " And about Hailey, we'd do that together cus together, we're stronger".
She smiled too and drew me down again to kiss me.

" I'd...", She began and kissed me. " Have....", Kissed again. "It...", Another kiss. " No....", Kiss.
"Other...way", she kissed me fully now......... TBC

Nice
