Falling in love with this story
Re: Finding Mrs Right by romanticnovels: 3:25pm On Jun 22, 2017
“Why haven’t you commented on my dress?” Stella asked, pouting her lips.

“Stella I am driving!”Lawrence spelt out to her. It was an Owambe saturday and they were going for the wedding reception of one of their colleagues.A female doctor too.They would have gone for the joining at the church if not for Stella who took all the time in the world caking up her face and dressing up.

She wore a beautifully tailored green lace gown.It was an off shoulder with a love heart neckline.Stunning pretty little gems were arranged at the hem of the gown and the gele she tied.Her makeup spoke volume. It was loud but she looked very beautiful with it. Her heels were also outrageously high. Maybe everything was indeed totally uncalled for like Lawrence pointed out to her.

“Lawrence.I am still waiting for you to say something about my dress. I thought you would like something like this so I sewed it for you” She pointed out, her voice evidently laced with fury.
“Young woman please let me concentrate. Arghh” Lawrence irritatedly said.He would have commented if he found it beautiful but too him it was too luxurious and extravagant. She wasn’t the bride for Pete sake! She should have gone for something simpler.

“Fine then!” She tutted as her heart flipped dangerously.

Stella kept quiet but she did click her tongue and grunt every now and then.Lawrence found a space in front of Palm suite hall and turned off the engine. He got down and called his Jeff that he was around.

Jeff, Mide and Bolu came out after about five minutes and they exchanged pleasantries. They were dressed in a Yoruba demon outfit. The agbada was perfectly sewn and the caps on their heads were so much on point. They all looked smoldering hot.
‘’Dr. Stella.Good afternoon” Bolu greeted Stella who was adjusting her head gear.

“Afternoon” she greeted curtly and returned to what she was doing.

“This guy, how far now?” Mide asked as his eyes flickered to Stella.

“She is now my girlfriend. I just had to say yes eventually” He silently announced.

“Wow. Congrats. But do you love her?” Jeff asked, almost in a whisper.

“I am trying my best guys. I don’t want to force the feelings. I believe as time goes on, I’ll come to love her"

"And maybe she's the Mrs right"
Bolu joked.

"You ehn? When are you going to start something serious with someone?" Lawrence asked as they walked into the hall, teasing and laughing.
The cool air hit Lawrence as they entered the beautifully decorated hall.

They found an empty table of four and they sat, enjoying the 'Laye' by Kiss Daniel being played by the DJ. After a while the event started proper. The couple danced in, they were admonished by the chairperson of the day and the cake was cut.

They had a short dance before the groom dedicated a lovely song to his bride. It was such an emotional moment.

Unmarried ladies in the hall and the bridal train were called to come on stage. It was time for the bride to throw her bouquet. Lawrence saw Stella walk to the stage with the corner of his eyes. The bouquet was thrown and the best lady was about catching it but it changed direction and Stella caught it. She screamed with glee as she fondled with the bouquet.

"Lawrence! Lawrence! I am the next bride. I just caught the bouquet" she happily chirped once she reached where Lawrence was sitting with his friends. The guests turned with smiles in their faces as they looked on, expecting something to happen.

"Oh. Congrats" Lawrence replied coldly, hating the attraction she had drawn to him.

"Lawrence. Is that all you have to say?" She stressed, looking disappointed and embarrassed.

"Please what else do you want me to say?" He asked, raising his voice. The whole attraction was already getting him tangled up.

Lawrence removed his cap and slumped on the nearest chair to him. Sweat seeped from his forehead down to his nose. It had taken him a lot of energy to stop Stella from creating a scene at the reception.

She had expected him to do something romantic like showing her off to the guests or publicly professing sweet nothings to her. The boys had burst into a fit of laughter that awkward moment he asked her what she wanted him to do and she was tongue-tied. She looked so terrible, as pale as a ghost as she disgracefully ran out like a flash of lightning after the whole thing.

‘Women and dramas!’ He thought as he removed his agbada and sprung from the seat, and then staggered to his room. He was off duty the following day. He would have time for himself and probably hang out with the boys in the evening. He laid on the bed and closed his eyes. His phone rang, making him let out a loud groan.

“Mom. You called. Finally” He said into the mouthpiece.

“Look at you. Were you not meant to call me when you got to Ibadan that day?”

“I’m sorry. I had to attend to something”
“Something or someone?” She joked as she burst into a fresh fit of laughter.

“Mom!” He huffed, his brows bunching together.
“What?” She giggled.

“Toke called and told me she prepared you a meal. How was it?”

“It was awesome. She is a good cook”

“She is a good wife material. 10000 yards sef”

“Mom!” he chuckled, letting out a lungful of air.

“I want you to keep in touch with her. Not just because of food but my mind tells me there is something between you two.”

“I have heard you mom. I had a very hectic day today. You know Dr. Ifeoma now?”

“Ifeoma? Ifeoma keh? Oh! That rumbu rumbu doctor that saved me from getting lost when I came to UCH. That fine fat and round lady. What happened to her? Lawrence, don’t tell me it is now omo ibo you want to –“

“Hush mom. I was about to tell you she got married today. I and my friends went for the ceremony”

“Ahahh.. Ehya, thank God o. I wish her a happy home. Greet her for me ehn?”

“This is what we are talking and shouting about everyday. Lawrence when are you giving another lady a chance in your life? Your father, even though I hate talking about that man that left me and me and married that yam legged shapeless woman in Enugu. He married me when he was barely twenty six"

"Mom! I am taking my time. And besides, he left you because you were troublesome and too much to handle. I wasn't so young when the whole thing happened and-"

"Don't even go there. Don't let us start. Was it my fault he started drinking? Was it my fault he preferred hanging out with pot bellied friends? Why would I not be troublesome when he was always stepping on my toes?" Her voice sounded strained. Lawrence knew anytime they talked about his father and their divorce, she would seethe and boil. He opened his mouth to say something but his words became lost.
Rolling his eyes disgustingly, he gave a heavy breathe.

"Ok mom. I have heard you. My head is pounding already. I need to go to bed"

"Goodnight" he added distaste fully and ended the call.

He was about switching off his phone when another call came in 'Lara' he read.

'Why is she calling me now?' He thought as he contemplated whether to pick her call or not. He wasn't ready to talk to her yet. He decided it was not yet time and if he picked the call, it would surely be a long night.

A message came in. He felt a sudden twinge of unease as he tapped his screen and the message displayed.

'You have all the rights in the world to be angry with me. I am sorry for doing it. I just couldn't marry you. I love someone and even though I tried forcing myself to love you. Feelings can't be forced and I am sure you know our moms who wanted the marriage wouldn't go through it with us. It was better leaving. I am sorry I had to do it at the wrong time but it was the right thing to do. Please forgive me Lawrence. I wish all the best finding your own woman.

'The right one for you'

His heart felt like it was beating a thousand times per second even though the message was soothing. Lawrence sighed and switched off his phone . He cocooned himself into the sheets and prayed for sleep to consume him.

'Goodness! What a day to be alive'

Golden rays of light filtered in through the gaps of the curtain, causing him to turn away from the window. He spread his legs apart and yawned loudly.

"Gracias!" He breathed as he snuggled out of bed.

He walked to the bathroom and emptied his bowels. Picked up his toothpaste and toothbrush and gave himself a thorough mouthwash.

He heated water and sat down, waiting for it to boil.
"Damn! Am off today!" His voice bellowed.

He switched off the water heater and crashed on the bed again, tossing and turning. Switching on his phone, he called Jeff and asked him if he and the boys would be free later in the day so they could hang out. Jeff was on a night shift, same with the Bolu and Mide.

Lawrence wondered why they loved night duties. Even if there was a change in the time schedule, they would make sure they get the night shifts. Probably to flirt around with some nurses and interns.
He sauntered to the kitchen and made toast bread. He served himself on a plate and strolled to the sitting room.

'Work.. work.. work.. work.. work..' his phone rang. He looked at the I.D and sighed. "Good morning Stella"

"What is good about the morning when you couldn't call me to apologize about yesterday"
Lawrence rolled his eyes as he broke the bread into two pieces.

"Stella. I didn't do anything wrong. You were the one assuming out of the blues that I would do something"

He scoffed. What was she expecting? A ring and marriage proposal?

"But you disgraced me Lawrence"

"Nope." He popped the last syllable and cringed.
"Are you saying I disgraced myself?"

Lawrence clamped a palm on his lips to prevent himself from bursting into laughter. Which would do nothing but add fuel to the fire.

"Ok. I am sorry" "No endearment?"

He smiled and writhed on the seat he rested on.
"Anyway, are you going to church this morning?"
"Yeah. My church starts by 10am"

"You are always off on Sundays right?"

"Yeah." He spoke, releasing the breath he had been holding.

Lawrence furrowed his brows, knowing where she was getting into. "We should hang out this evening then" she said. He squeezed his face as he ran his fingers through his tousled hair.

"Oh. I was thinking of napping all through the evening"He said in a muffled voice.

'You can always nap after the outing right? We should visit the newly built chicken republic at Ring road' her voice sounded like a strangled cat begging for milk.

He rolled his eyes and mumbled something incoherent. Objecting would make the conversation annoyingly long and unending.
"Alright. I'll come pick you up then" he said.

"Okay love. See ya"

He sighed and quickly finished up with his toast bread. He stood up and fetched the orange drink Toke made from the fridge and finished it. He rinsed his glass jug and kept it in the cabinet. When next would he have a home made fruit drink?

Stella angrily stormed into his house with a tear stained face. The knot in her stomach grew with each step to his room.

“Lawrence!” She shouted in a fitful rage, raising her arched brows.

Lawrence tossed on the bed and changed his sleeping position. He gave a loud yawn and continued sleeping.

Stella fetched a bowl of water from the bathroom and emptied the content on him. Lawrence shot up and wiped water from his face. He hastily rolled off the bed when his eyes fell on Stella.

“Oh shit!" He cursed.

"I am sorry Stella. I slept off after I came back from church. I really didn't mean to keep you waiting”

“You slept off? You slept off when we were supposed to have a date this evening” She spat, much to his surprise.

“I am so sorry but I was just very tired that I didn’t know when I crashed on the bed”

“Oh shut up! Just say I am not your priority. For Christ sake I was supposed to be number one in your life now that I am your girlfriend. You could have set an alarm if indeed you wanted the date with me”

“Stella. Stop yelling at me” he said firmly.

“I will so yell, shout, scream and do anything I want to do with my voice” she rambled.

"You are so insensitive and unreasonable. Why would you stand me up while you are here sleeping like a lifeless dog. What sort of boyfriend are you? Yes I know you don't love me as much as I love you but must you show it Everytime? Why are you so heartless?" Her constricted with immense pain as her cheeks received some fat tears.

“Fine then. I am fed up of your incessant rants and nag. You nag about everything! I thought I was going to love you. I didn’t want to hurt your feelings anymore by turning you down again but it seems you and I can’t get along. I should have said ‘no’ when you came on me again but I guess I was careful of hurting you. I think we are done here” He spoke and picked his car keys.

“What?” she asked, her voice wavering slightly in unknown fear as her feet, by their own accord carried her closer to where Lawrence stood.

“And, I don’t know how you managed to get my spare key which gave you the guts to bang in on me anytime but return it before you leave.”

“21 missed calls!” Jeff screamed as he dropped Lawrence’s phone on the table.

“Guy, you have to attend to this one o. It’s like she’s here to stay”

“Stay where?” he asked, his eyes revealing his curiosity.

“In your life now.” “See Jeff, I am very tired right now. Physically, mentally, psychologically and emotionally”

“I just hope you are not tired sexically. I am here to deliver” Came Bolu’s voice. He was a big time womanizer, always giving it to unserious nurses back to back. There had even been a time he was queried for impregnating a patient. How he settled the hospital management and the said patient, no one knew.

“Oshey!!! Baddest. Bolu you are the real gee” Jeff hailed as his eyes trailed the beautiful ladies on the left and right side of Bolu.

“Bolu, last time I checked you were a medical doctor. Aint you scared your license might be ceased amidst all these scandalous acts and escapades?” Lawrence huffed, his face scrunched up in concentration.

“Bleep that shii. These ones aint patients and besides, I am a hot doctor” Bolu smirked, turning in a circle in a show off manner. “Doctors like you are the kinds giving the medical profession a bad –“ Lawrence stopped when his eyes caught a familiar face.
“Wetin?” Jeff asked, scooping a spoon of rice in his mouth.

“I thought you said these ones aint patients, Bolu!”
“Of course they are not” Bolu replied, giving him a puzzled expression.

“It might interest you to know that this is my patient” He said, pointing at the rude lady he had attended to a week ago. The lady hissed upon realization that it was the doctor she had had a hard time dealing with.

“So you are a slut! I thought ladies that are mouthed like you were independent working class ladies”

“Abeg abeg. Dr. Bolu, if na wash your friend wan wash me, make you kuku tell me make I comot” “Shuu? She’s even addressing the almighty womanizer Dr. Bolu” she spoke, her teeth chattering frantically.

“Of course. Why won’t she? I didn’t buy my certificate. I went to the medical school, suffered for six years and have my MBBS-“

“Degree” Lawrence and Jeff chorused before bursting into a fit of laughter.

“Jeff! Which one do you want please?



“Hmm.. I think this would do for this night” Jeff said, pointing to a dark skinned busty lady about the age of twenty-three.
“Jo, would you like to be with Lawrence?” Bolu asked.

“Capital no!” she heatedly said, her voice filled with venom.

“I would rather die than be with a lady like you. I just hope this time you don’t come complaining about your pussy paining you” Lawrence said as he got and walked to the door, flinging it open widely that it almost swung off its hinges.

Lawrence walked into the restaurant and found a table for two. He took in his environment, it was lovely. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. Outdoor were street lamps dimly glowing, adding to the aura the place held. He plopped down into a seat and drew a heavy sigh as he waited for Toke. He picked up the menu and started flipping through the pages to while away time.

“Lawrence?” A lady called out.

He turned back and saw Toke gracefully dressed in a short tight gown with a very nice bateau neckline. The gown which accentuated her curves well also had big enough breast cups to accommodate her full lush breasts. She left her makeup minimal but lovely which made her look like a fine piece of vanilla cake.

He stood up and gave her a quick hug. She nuzzled into cheek and placed a peck on it.
“Evening” Lawrence said, watching her draw a chair to sit.

“You look ...err” his mouth hung open a little bit, unsure of what to say.

“Stunning. That’s the word” He said pointedly and smiled, inwardly admiring her eyes which were brighter than any emerald he’d ever seen.

“Thanks” She replied. A slight tinge of pink was in her cheeks, causing her to look windswept.

“You look stressed. You had a rough time in the hospital today?” she asked, batting her eyelashes which were lined with what looked like inches of black eyeliner.

“I wasn’t on duty but some other things stressed me out” he explained and let out a long breathe.
“Things like?” she asked as she flashed him the warmest smile he had ever seen.

“Please can we just forget about how my day went? Let’s talk about you”

“Nooo. I mean, what sort of time would we be spending together when you smile and the smile obviously isn’t reaching your eyes?”

“Ok. I ended a relationship with a lady this evening”

“Oh wow. I thought you weren’t going to give relationship a thought yet due to what happened” she said as she pouted up her delicate lips, red as a rose.

“I just had to. It’s a bit complicated.”
“How long?”

“It’s not up to a week yet”

“What?” she asked reflectively, breathing out a laugh.

“Yeah. Now you can go on and on with the laughter”

“I am sorry. It was just very funny. Are you serious? Barely a week”

“I should then take it that you didn’t like the lady in the first place”

“Hmm. Not really and she wasn’t making it easy for me to like her. She was choking me up already. I just had to choose between desperation and my own happiness. I am not that desperate for a wife”

“But your mom is” she said, playing with the nail beds of her well manicured fingers.
“I’m sorry but at this point she has to take it slow. It’s my life and my future we are talking about here.”
“I understand.”

“So, that aside. When are we coming to eat rice and chicken”

“C’mon, stop!”

“I should stop what?”

“The way you are speaking, it doesn’t really suit your person so stop trying to be comic”
“Wow. I’ve been caught” he cooed.

“I think we should order for something” He said when his stomach rumbled loudly, causing him to clutch it in embarrassment.

15th July, 2016.

Dinner with Lawrence today was fun. I feel like if I spend more time with him, I might run the risk of falling helplessly in love with him. I think I find his company intriguing. I want more…
Of him

Toke scribbled down into her diary as she lustfully thought of his light stubble grazing against the inside of her thighs. She blushed and cuddled the pillow closer to her chest as she chased her fantasies into Lalaland.
