Episode 15
Dayo was happy as he drove his car home,everything his dad said was playing in his mind,all the praises and good word of encouragement made him feel like he just won a billion dollars,he felt proud of himself but couldn’t just it as he kept saying

“thank you funmi”

“thank you soooo much”

He was about to take a turn when he heard he’s phone ring, he manage to take the sharp turn as quickly as he could before looking at the screen, and there she was, the only girl he’s heart skips for now

“hello beautiful” he said as he picked the call

“ hi dayo,na woa you didn’t even call to say hello” funmi replied

“I am sorry honey, but guess what dear”

“ you funny ,you know am not good at that”

“just try now”

“ ok ok, you just bought a new gadget , because I know you like wasting money”

“ gadget ke, no jare, I was at dad’s place today and I was able to do the work he gave me”

“ wow , you mean dad tested you again today?”

“hmmm, yeah , actually I found some papers he was working on and I helped him to finish it up when he was tired”

“ hello, are you there?”

Dayo was expecting a reply from her but couldn’t hear her, there was a break in transmission between them, by the time she was audible again she said


“ oh God, my airtime has been exhausted “ funmi said


“ oh sorry dear, I will send you a recharge card now, when I find a spot to get one, but before then let me call you back”


Dayo hang up the phone ,then checked if he still has enough airtime to put a call through o funmi, but to he’s surprise he didn’t , so he decided to wait till he gets a recharge card before calling back.


He continued driving for few minutes before he’s phone began to ring again, before looking at the phone he took a guess that it could be funmi that called back but on looking the screen, who he saw surprised him.

Episode 16


Shit!, he has totally forgotten to call lizzy the whole day, he thought of what to tell her for a while before picking up the call

“hi dear” dayo said as he picked the call
“hello ‘ she replied with a low tone

“ hope you are fine,can you speak louder I can hardly hear you dear” dayo tried to sound like he cared

“ I am not fine at all” lizzy relied sharply


“ what do you mean dear” he asked
Lizzy paused for a while before saying”

I dialed your number some minutes ago and its say’s busy, who were you talking to”


Dayo was confused, he wasn’t expecting such questions from her so he asked


“ what are you talking about, I don’t seem to get you”


“ I said who was the girl you were talking to on the phone before you picked mine” lizzy asked in a more loud and angry tone.

dayo became furious, he tried to calm himself down as, while he said


“ do you mind if I call you back ,I am actually driving right now”


lizzy couldn’t take it as she shouted as tears run down her cheeks “ you dare not hang up on me , you cheating bastard’


the word bastard infuriated dayo, he spotted a shop beside the road where he could purchase airtime, he quickly swerved into a nearby spot to the shop and then looked at the phone ,he realized that she had hanged up since he didn’t reply for some minutes, he made he’s way to the shop and bought some cards ,he quickly loaded them and dialed lizzy’s number,he waited for the dialed tone and she picked on the second tone,


“ what the hell was that lizzy?” dayo asked


“how dare you say such word to me” dayo continued


Lizzy finally found her voice after crying a bit


“ you cheating bastard , how dare you cheat on me with that useless ,stinking , village girl?’


Dayo couldn’t take it anymore , he felt that time was right for him to tell her how he actually feel now, he needs to let her know that he doesn’t have feelings for her anymore and sooner or later he will still break her heart, he thought of what to say but couldn’t find the right words, he finally said

“ do you wanna know the truth?, yes I am seeing funmi, who ever told you that didn’t lie to you”

“ bastard!!!!” lizzy shouted into the phone

Dayo quickly removed the phone from his hear because of the resonance.

Episode 17


he placed back the phone to he’s hear then said

” that’s exactly what I am talking about, you just a stupid Bimbo that only cares about herself"


“ you are going to regret this I swear” lizzy said with anger


Dayo was happy with the way things were going, he saw the opportunity and jumped at it, he doesn’t need anything more in he’s life than a woman like funmi ,he listened on as lizzy continued and ranting , she insulted and even caused him.

After about 10minutes of heated argument between them lizzy said,

“ you know what I am done with this relationship and don’t you dare come and beg me”

Dayo laughed uncontrollably for like some seconds before saying

“ wait , you actually think I will come and beg you right, of what benefit were you to me in the first place, I am tired of all your childish attitudes, your self centeredness and every other nonsense “ he paused for a while be he continued

“a break up is just perfect, that’s exactly what I want to hear from you, thanks for setting me free”

He heard the disconnect tone as he tried to speak on ,then he looked at the screen and saw that she has hanged up,

“ mtcheeew “ he hissed loudly before heading for his car, he got to the car and placed a call to funmi.

Dayo got to school the next day and hurriedly went in search of his friends, Daniel was about leaving a seat when he heard dayo’s voice

“ whats up dany” he watched has Daniel turned around

“ dayo , how far, you are late” he asked with a little frown on his face

Dayo was surprised ” what is this guy saying” he thought to himself

“ late how? “ he looked at his watch and said” or I am even 10minutes early”

Daniel looked at his watch with a curious look,” men my watch has stopped"

both he and dayo laughed and they made their way to the place were they are to sit, as they approach the sit dayo asked

“ where is emeka?”

Daniel thought for a while before answering, I think I saw him walked by with lizzy

“here they come” Daniel said as he turned around,

Dayo saw both of them coming and waited for them to come closer before saying

” brother how far,I dey come make I see person ”

he touched emeka by the shoulder and walked past them without saying a word to lizzy, although she ignored him too

Dayo brought out his phone , dialed funmi’s number then asked her where she was.

Episode 18


Funmi picked the call on the second ring, as she told him that she was close to the second roll, he quickly rushed down to the seat to join her, just then the lecturer entered the class and the lectures began,.

They were quit for most of the time time in which the lecturer was explaining,they only discuss when he wasn’t .

the rest o the lectures lasted for like two hours before the lecture left the class, then dayo decided to use the opportunity to tell funmi what he has been thinking.

“wow, I am so tired right now” dayo said smiling at funmi

“ what makes you tired ?”

“nothing really, I just think my mind isn’t here”

“ funny , so where is you mind”

“ home, don’t feel like having lectures today”

“lazy boy” funmi tapped him on the lap before dayo continued

“ what’s your plan for the rest of the day after the lectures” he asked

“ well nothing much, I guess I will just go home to rest, I guess the lectures for today ends by 2pm isn’t it”

“yeah, it ends by 2pm” dayo paused for a while wondering how he could say it

“ hmmm, funmi there is something I want to request from you” he finally said

Funmi was curious as she looked into his eyes and said “ whats that, come ask now, you don’t need to make it sound so official ” she waited for dayo to talk as he said

“ I know you don’t really go out much but I will appreciate if you go out with me today”

“ go out? , what about your girl friend” funmi asked

She could see that little frown on he’s face as he said

“ well , we broke up but please don’t ask me why”

Funmi was shocked, she paused for a while before saying
” I guess that’s one thing I can’t do, you should be able to tell me what happened or aren’t we close enough?”

“ no now ,you getting it wrong, ok I promise to tell you when we get on our date”

“ date?, you didn’t tell me it’s a date”

Dayo laughed loud" ok I don’t mind what you tag it, just come with me “

They both laughed ,just then the next lecturer entered the class


Dayo drove his car as fast as he could , he new funmi would be waiting for him as she has called to ask where he was,he got to her house and hurriedly went in.
The smell of the nice perfume she was wearing filled the whole room, his head was spinning as he saw funmi in the best dress he has ever seen her in, it was a pink short dress that reveals a little of her lap,she also seem to be having a bigger bosom because she was putting on one of those push up bra,
Her make up was perfectly done as she looked more beautiful than he ever thought

“ wow, what a beauty “dayo thought in his mind


He didn’t realized when he moved closer to her, he drew her into his arms as she perfectly fit in, he looked into her eyes, both of then now looking into each other’s eyes in a lustful way, her breathing has obviously increased

“ you are beautiful” dayo whispered as he moved closer to place a kiss on her lip but to his surprise she turned her face as his lips landed on her cheek.

guys i soo much love this part ,wish you can feel it like i did when writing.
maybe its because my favorite artist is 2face.

Episode 19

The air in the room changed, dayo felt a bit embarrassed by what he did,he felt like turning back the hands of time,

“Shit I was too forward?’ he thought to himself


Funmi was confused she does not even know what to think, deep down in her mind she will be very happy to feel what his cute lips taste like, but no she can’t just let him have her like that, moreover she still needs more prove that he truly cares for her.


They got into the car some minutes later without talking to each other, funmi took a peep at him and she felt bad when she saw the little expression of disappointment on his face ,

“I hate to see him like this, I should have let him do it” she thought in her mind


Dayo hated the silence between them, he felt too embarrassed to talk ,which made him angry at himself,he felt he has spoilt the date before it even started, he tried to come up with a discussion but couldn’t think of any, and she wouldn’t break the silence either,

Finally he decided to put on the FM radio of his car, hoping that the music or topic of discussion will generate a topic for them,he placed his hand on the car stereo and turned it

“woooow” he shouted as the music filled the speakers of the car,

2FACE IDIBIA’S hit song titled “FEELING YOU “was the song that was being played,dayo sang along the lyrics till it got to the second verse, he tapped funmi gentle on the lap and asked her to listen to the lyrics as he sang along saying.


FEELINGS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT HIDE,AS YOU CAN SEE MY GIRL YOU REALLY NEED TO SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE, LETS ROLL UP LIKE BURNY AND CLIDE , BE REST ASSURED THAT AM NOT TAKING YOU FOR A RIDE, ALRIGHT, AM FEELING YOU AS YOU FEELING ME TOO BABY BOO.


Funmi couldn’t hold back the laugh, she couldn’t hold back the way she felt as she heard those words, she slapped dayo on the shoulder playfully and also played with his beards

about 15minutes later, they got to a very cool and nice part of the town,


the environment was one of the best that funmi will ever see, she kept looking around the place like she was lust, she later realized that it was a hotel with a nice bar , she has never seen a place with a swimming pool that is as big as that before,

“where would she ever see it, in that her village” she let out a small laugh as she thought to her self .
