Sincerely speaking, am feeling same.
kizzykeziah:
I really didn't think I would have the cause to say this but I'm not getting really motivated to keep writing this. The comments I expect here are not so forthcoming and I'm nearly having a block.
I'm not exactly a device that processes what next to write. Comments should guide me and in the absence of that........ I'd drop off my pen for now till....whenever.

And I do appreciate the few people that bothered commenting, thanks to you the story got to this point.

Take zour time

Hmmmm, kizzykeziah, for me, when I write, I write to entertain myself..... if I write a chapter and it doesn't move me to some sort of emotion, it won't move anyone else reading it.

I would advice you to write because you enjoy it, but if you aren't enjoying it anymore ... I guess you have to be on pause then. Reinspire yourself, refuse to let the comments be your inspiration instead focus on the story and characters, read a sappy romance story you have read before or watch a string of clichéd romance movies, whatever works but just find the zeal that got you started in the beginning.

Much easier said than done, I know from experience but bear in mind that you have to finish whatever you have begun. Will be hoping to see you back here soon.

I do have my share of fun writing and that's why I started initially and as for Eothen, I haven't given up on the story since I'm still typing on my MSword, but I'm just suspending my posting here sad. And apparently that won't be for so long. I'd probably post an update on my birthday. cheesy

I'm thinking of completing it before posting here. That's what I plan on doing for now. Thanks, Aunty repo. A lot.
Re: Eothen-Our losses by kizzykeziah: 8:41pm On Mar 21, 2015
Alright, I wasn't to come back quite soon and even my birthday when I wanted to update is still a couple of weeks way. But I took a little advice especially repogirl's and I just kept typing until I told myself, come on just post it for the few who stop by to read.

And moreover, my naughty friend, Bolu has asked me to write or else..... grin
So I'm writing this for gorgybee, and ermm Vantee, I'm going to update it now o, lol.

Chapter 25


Yemi couldn't help but laugh at what the girl just said to him, " God, Jenny. You are not serious at all," he told her nearly unaware his friend was also walking beside them.

Akin glanced up at Yemi and stopped in his tracks, surprised at his buddy's lifted spirits. Curious as to what the half caste just said, he raised an eyebrow suspending the chat he was having with one of his ex girlfriends. Something he enjoyed doing, " What did she say?" He asked.

" Don't mind her. She said I lost my touch and reminded me of this time in Abuja," Yemi started before Jenny cut him out.

" Your friend is just a chicken. I can't believe I dated him once," she told Akin who smiled. This was what he was referring to when he told Yemi to get over his head and date a girl in his reach not one that would wound his heart and override him. Too bad he had to choose learning the harder way.

Akin saw his friend suddenly stopped talking and looked up to see it was just the girl he needed to see this. Smirking to himself, he raised his hand and waved as he called her, " Bimbo."

Bimbola looked up from the handbill she was reading and saw Akin first, smiling. And then Yemi, with a fallen countenance and then another girl with her fingers locked in Yemi's. Who the fu*k was she? That was the first question that came to Bimbola's mind as she managed a smile at Akin who never liked her before and probably called at her just to see Yemi was past her.

" Hi, Akin. I haven't seen you in a while. You still on this campus?" She turned to face Akin who was still smiling, ready to make her feel worse.

" Of course. Where else would a riffraff stay?" He asked her as she shrugged.

" Good to see you. I gotta run now. See you some other time," she said quickly and gave one look at Yemi's locked fingers in the other girls'.

" You two don't talk to each other again? Wow Bimbo, you bad small o," Akin observed seeing she was scurrying off.

Bimbola slowed in her steps and faced Yemi as she addressed Akin back, " Now who told you that. We see each other in class na. Though he doesn't want to introduce his new girl to me apparently," Bimbola observed back sizing Jenny up with a hint of jealousy in her voice which even she couldn't believe.

WTF, Yemi muttered slowly to himself and unlinked his fingers with Jenny, " Bimbo, you are really something. Why wouldn't I want to introduce her to you? It's not like you weren't my friend too. Jenny is my friend who is on vacation at her own private university and came to say hi to me. Is that worth keeping away from you?" Yemi's tone was pissed. Did she even have a right to get jealous? He shook his head at her.

" I didn't know," Bimbola quickly said and forced a smile at Jenny, though she was boiling within, " Hi," she greeted and looked back at Akin who was having his own share of fun watching her go green, " Have a nice day," she bade and hurried away feeling terribly annoyed.
She couldn't handle that much after all, stupid me, she thought as she beat herself up over and over again.

Akin watched her retreating figure and smiled again, " God I wish I had come up with this earlier," he said in an inaudible tone as he turned to catch up with Yemi who was walking off.

Sophia looked up from her iPad and held her fingers loosely on the screen. She couldn't help but watch Michael with Temi. Ever since he had made it his duty to come around and check on her, he hardly ever missed a day,that notwithstanding the fact that he stayed in Lekki and she stayed on the mainland. She knew he was a great guy but his attachment to Temi was getting her worried especially with Dotun showing up to claim her daughter. What if he was right and her being blindly in love still with Michael had made her believe he was her child's father? Would that mean Dotun would come drag her child from her and Michael? She roughly pushed the thought away, shaking her head. Dotun was never getting in her life again. His involvement with Abigail was lethal enough than her letting him issue claims on her child. She thought to herself unaware she had been too obviously absentminded.

Mike put Temi down as she still tried clinging to his neck. He was getting concerned about Sophia. She had been really absent minded since he came in some thirty minutes ago. It was already too bad he was one of the sources of her worries, " Are you okay?" He asked her as she jerked back to present.

" What did you say?.. Oh, I'm fine. Really," she reassured and tried smiling.

" I doubt that. Your mind hasn't been around here. You've been staring at God knows what since," he told her as he approached the sofa she was seated and took a seat beside her.

" I said I'm fine," her tone pitched higher making Mike convinced she wasn't fine.

" Now you're definitely not fine," he before continuing," You can tell me whatever it is, you know that right?"

" Yeah right. I sure can." Sophia crossed her legs back into the sofa and resumed her work on the laptop.

" Sophia, I know we are not exactly in very good terms right now which is mostly my fault but if there was anything we shared, it was being able to confide in each other about nearly everything...," Mike started again as Sophia cut in,

" And that died also before we came to Nigeria 'separately'," she emphasized.

" I wanted us to put whatever happened past us. How my friend slept with you and the whole ruckus that followed. I don't want that to rule our lives. Especially with Temi being here now," Mike said calmly.

" You know the truth, Michael? It's not possible. And that is also because of my child. Have I told you Dotun was here to claim her paternity?" She said pointing at Temi.

" You didn't. And I guess that must be why you have been distracted and worried," Mike said after hearing her, " Did you think I never thought of that possibility also? Especially immediately after you told me."

Sophia gaped back as Mike continued," Come on sweetheart. I thought about it a lot before coming back that evening and seeing her here. I only told myself that I wasn't going to let you slip away from me anymore and if Temi was my daughter, then I would get to know more about that in due course without needing to take a paternity test. It was going to play out itself anyhow. Telling you I doubted you and you were trying to force a kid on me would be like telling you that I thought you were a slut. Now I care a lot more about you than letting an inability to let go of the past get between us again. So don't get worked up unnecessarily," Mike told her in a calming voice as she put aside her iPad and faced him,

"Michael," Sophia called in a tone Mike never expected he would here from her ever again," The truth is I'm sorry about hurting your feelings ever before. I never wanted to lose you. It's just been.... ," she felt the defense she had been setting against her feelings for him fall apart as he inched towards her and whispered," It's just been that we've been caring about a lot of other less important things than what matters the most right now," Sophia closed her eyes as his lips closed on hers in a kiss she only thought could occur in her dreams.

" So you're leaving by 2, right?" Bolu asked as Bimbola folded the trousers she was holding into her big bag which she was going with.

" That would leave me thirty minutes," Bimbola confirmed nodding.

" You still on....bad terms with Amaka?" Bolu continued sitting on her bed.

Bimbola sighed," Bolu, as you can see now, I'm not ready to start a discussion about Amaka. She clearly never wished me good nor liked me for a second. So let's leave things at that." She smiled and pulled out her ringing phone from her trouser's pocket. She stared at the screen, hesitating whether or not to answer the call.

" Just answer now since you are going to anyways with that look on your face," Bolu entreated her as she finally answered as her ringtone neared it's end.

" What?!" That was the answer she almost yelled into the phone's speaker.

" Easy. Are you on campus?" Yemi asked at the other end of the line.

" Yes but not for long. Why? Did your girlfriend ditch you so soon?" She remarked and sat handling with the blouse she was holding.

" You're kidding me, huh?"

" Why are you calling me? I have to leave so say whatever it is you called to tell me."

" Alright. If you get back, I'd come check you at your hostel. I need to tell you something," he simply told her.

" Don't you understand the simple meaning of ' I do not want to have a thing to do with you'?"

" But you answered my call. Shows there's still a good part to you. Just call me when you are around," he finished and hung up before she could yell back at him.

" So full of himself," Bimbola observed loudly making Bolu raise an eyebrow,

" Who?" She asked.

" Some jerk," Bimbola answered simply and lay back down, " Let me rest up a bit. That guy just ruined my bright mood," she said more to herself as she reached for a pillow to support her head.

Chapter 26


" So?" Akin asked picking up the blue and yellow t-shirt beside Yemi.
" What?" Yemi put his phone away and sat up on the bed.

" What do you mean 'What?' ? Wasn't that Bimbo you were speaking to just now?" Akin pulled the shirt over his head and reached for the belt.

" Since when did you get interested? I thought she was below you?"

Akin scoffed as he fixed his belt, " Nawa o, Yemi. Even as she beat you for class tests, your brain never reset?" He shook his head.

" I just got distracted. It wasn't Bimbo's fault that I dropped in class,"Yemi tried defending which Akin wasn't buying.

" Peddle that to someone who doesn't stay in the same room with you," Akin insisted, " What is up with you and Jenny now?"

" Nothing na. She may come this evening sha and I wan run away before she reach here," Yemi told his friend.

" Wetin na? The girl dey very okay and fine boy like you suppose to take chances with her," Akin beseeched him.

" Being there once. She is a potential jealous wife material," Yemi shook his head and reached for the sneakers in front of him and passed it to Akin.

" Bimbo then would be what?" Akin asked raising his eyes and sitting to put on the sneakers.

" I just have to find out now, right?" Yemi told him smiling while Akin shook his head, " And where on earth are you going sef this Saturday?" He asked as if just noticing Akin was getting ready to go out.

He smiled back, " I also have plans, buddy? You stay out of trouble when I'm away," Akin waved his fingers at Yemi making the latter break into laughter.

------------

Dotun shifted uncomfortably in the plastic chair in Demola's office. He was so nervous and that wasn't far fetched from the call he had gotten that the paternity test results was out and whether he was coming for it or wanted it sent to him. He had shut everything he was doing and ditched a date with his fiancee to come himself. After going through so much trouble to get the hair sample from Sophia, he couldn't risk the results tampered with. Thinking about the hell he had to get through with Sophia wasn't even possible right now. He didn't even tell Abigail what he was up to, she was too cunning to be trusted though he nearly opted for asking her to get him the sample from Sophias'.

" I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long. I needed to get the print out before coming in," Demola explained as he opened the door to his office holding an en envelope in hand with the inscription ' B.D.A Labs' .

" It's fine. So how's it? Am I a father?" Dotun asked restively looking at the white envelope.

" See for yourself," Demola handed it over to him as Dotun grabbed it and tore it open.
Scanning through the results of the test, Dotun's eyes went straight for the part of the paper where it was inscribed boldly. 0% match.

Demola watched his brother-in-law's expression fall. He was so obviously disappointed and gasped as he looked up blankly.

" I'm sorry I had you come over here. I just couldn't make out time to meet with you," Mike began apologizing immediately Peter walked into his office.

" It's fine," Peter said shortly and went to sit opposite Mike.

" My mum said you had some files I needed to endorse or something? You have them here?" Mike asked him seeing Peter wasn't exactly ready to chitchat with him.

Peter put forward the files he was holding to Mike and looked round while Mike reached for a pen. It had been four months since he met Mike and to think he thought they could have been friends was an overstatement now. Mike was the boss who owned the company he worked for, literally speaking since it was a subsidiary of the conglomerate owned by the Adeoye's which his mum got away with after the divorce mess. And he was just another employee who dared to think he could get the boss's girl. A fantasy indeed.

" Are we still on normal terms?" Mike asked as he appended the files with his signature.

" Well if by normal, you mean boss-employee relationship? Then, sure," Peter shrugged.

" I know Sophia broke up with you and if I'm related to that, then I can't say anything but that I'm sorry," Mike closed the file and handed it to Peter.

" Yeah, she did dump me since she had a better option. But if you permit me,'sir', then can I say what I think?" Peter requested laying emphasis on the formal address.

Mike smiled back, " You know you are free to do that."

Peter moved forward in his seat, " Since the day I had met Sophia, aside the fact I was in love with her, all I wanted was to make her smile. Take her mind off her family's stress and get her happy. That's what I wanted. But you know what you've ended up doing? You have done nothing but make her cry. Added to her burdens. Because that's what you rich kids do," he let out his mind with all the annoyance he had had suppressed all these while.

" Listen, Peter. I never wished to be a source of tears to the girl I love. Things just got....," Mike started with his defense but Pete cut him off,

" Of course, you never did. You only wish for it to get worse. I met your brother yesterday and he said you don't plan on going through with this wedding you have in four days. You have any freaking idea what that will bring? Questions on why and every single finger will point back at Sophia. She will be wound up in all these and you would only be able to tell her you care. How would that change your dad's mind from laying his fingers on her and hurting her all over again just because you have refused to let her go, Mike. You had better start thinking." Peter finished and stood up to take his leave when Mike called him back, " I hope to disappoint you, Peter."

Peter turned back around and lowered his voice, " I hope so too otherwise I swear I do not know what I might do to you then," he swore and left the office.

Mike watched him barge out and knew he needed a real plan now. Dayo could also be right after all about he needing to let Sophia go but how could he do that and let his father win. But now he was more than sure his dad was really not going to let Sophia be especially if he knew she was his Achilles heel. He needed a plan A-Z asap.

Chapter 27


Mike gave one more look at the list displayed on his screen and the figures in front of each name before finally shutting his eyes and falling back into his chair in the twelve squared meter room he occupied in the thirty five storey office block.

' This won't work,' he said to himself with his eyes still shut.
For nearly seven hours now, he had been trying to come up with something his dad would never predict. The unfortunate news was that the old man was always getting eyes everywhere. Kept up really cordial relationships with every shareholder and board member. Had a number of staff members he was always using to ' keep his son in check'. That was going to pose some problem for him now, since he hardly had anyone he could trust in the company now. He couldn't use the company to distract his father, the man was a leap ahead of him there.Except of course he was to go head on with his father which seemed like the only option now.

Just as he was still deliberating on how to go about his crossroads, he heard a tap on the door to his office as it opened and he knew Rukky was probably sick of staying around. It was quite late already and she didn't possess guts to leave with him still there.

" Sir, are you okay?" She asked seeing he didn't look all that great," You need me to get you something?" She offered when he didn't reply her.

" Go home if you're tired already. Just get me three tickets booked for L.A. this week. One return ticket and two one-way tickets. I'd forward details about the names for the one-way tickets to your mail. Make sure I get the flight that leaves this week and no, I'm not going on the jet. You got that?" He asked her seeing she just stayed rooted to a spot.

" Ye..s s..ir, I should go now," she slowly said and turned out.

" Damn this. I wish I could do better," he said angrily and cuffed his fists.
Sighing, he got up. He didn't even request her opinion and was already taking steps. Now he needed that more than ever.

------------

" Hey, I hope you weren't asleep yet," Mike said as Sophia opened the door to see him standing there. She was probably already in bed as she already had her pajamas on and he didn't even know what time it was already.

" I thought you weren't stopping by anymore, today. And do you have any idea what time it is?" She shut the door behind him as he got seated on the sofa and watched her pick up a throw pillow on the floor and place it on the sofa before she also sat.

" I thought you weren't going to take the tough tone with me any longer. Did I intrude on your peaceful sleep?" He asked looking straight at her as she shifted back into the sofa.

" Not really. It's almost midnight, Michael and I stay here alone with Temi. Did you expect me not to get baffled with you suddenly showing up this late? I even wonder how Abdul let you in," she said in a lower tone.

Mike smiled, " Is she sleeping already? She spends the whole day turning the house upside down, shouldn't take her a lot of time to fall asleep," He said looking towards the stairs that went to the bedrooms.

Sophia nodded, " So what's the occasion? Did you just plan on ruining my one day's peace?"

" Not really. Wanted to see you," he stood up to get a glass of water, " Has Dotun come back again after you gave him what he wanted?" He asked in a calmer tone.

She gently shook her head, " I hope he doesn't. One of the reasons I couldn't sleep," she confessed as she watched him drink quickly, " Are you okay?" She asked as she noticed he had a worried look on his face.

" No," he admitted and put the glass cup back on the centre table before sitting back, "The truth? I've been doing a lot of thinking and was at the office all these while. Today is Wednesday and on Saturday, everyone expects me in a suit as a groom and the more I think about it, the more I feel trapped. My dad perfected his plans so much leaving me nowhere else to turn except back to him," he told her leaving out the part of Peter coming to see him. That would get her unnecessarily anxious, he though as he saw Sophia listening and watching him, " Except here, of course," he added and smiled back at her.

" That fiancee of yours won't let you ditch her in church, so don't dream of pulling out," Sophia told him though she was thinking of a totally different thing. She only didn't want him in a mess because of her again and as it seemed, he was heading for a real mess, straight on.

" I wasn't expecting to here that from you. But I know you didn't mean it also since I'm a mind reader too and I know definitely don't want me to marry Stella. She's not your kind of nice girl," he joked, " So here's what I want you to do now," he clasped his palms," Get me your passport and Temi's also. You two are leaving for California this week. I'd come with you, get you settled and then come back to finish things up with my father and get back to the both...." He had hardly finished when Sophia revoked him,

" Hell, no. What are you even saying? Are you really not going to go ahead with your wedding? Have you eaten something wrong or what?" Sophia angrily shot at him as she sat up.

"I'm not getting into a union based on how much more profits my dad can earn. Or one that ends in both parties fighting for the assets they wish to acquire through a messy divorce process. I won't get into that sort of union, Sophia, so are you on board with me now?" He tried thinking she would see reason with him and agree quietly though that was never to be expected from the really heady lady she was.

" Still, no," Sophia plainly said as the clock struck twelve and she glanced up, " I have two court hearings tomorrow and I need to get some rest," she stood up to leave when he caught her arms just as she was about to climb the stairs,
" Anyone ever tell you you are really stubborn? All I'm trying to do is get you away from all these. You just leave with Temi and I'd take care of the rest here, please," he pleaded.

" You're not a Clark Kent, so how do you plan on getting your father to let you go in peace after making him look a fool?" She asked as she calmed herself slowly.

" I guess I just have to...." He began again trying to explain.

"You don't have to do anything alone. It's like you're giving yourself a punishment or something like that. Just don't worry so much. The events you are so worried about would roll by anyways. And believe me, I've been through worse so I can cope with this much," she assured him and put her arms around him.

" I'm sorry.... In advance that is," he apologized making her laugh. It was good enough he knew when to apologize now, she thought to herself.

The part of smallville got me cracking, are you a fan of superhero's?

Shopia should just accept what he is saying, though he is just helping out. Thats why most times ladies don't get to about why guys do things for them. If he tells her about that guy now, she would spoil the fun of it
