Episode 10.2

It was Saturday already, just two weeks to the wedding when Desmond met with his friends. He knew they would be so happy to hear that he was already getting married, he was also happy he was finally leaving them and their signed agreement on marriage. At least he wouldn’t be losing anything now that he would be getting married to a family who would give him multiple of the money they placed bet on.
He kept smiling as he informed them about the wedding, trying to decipher what they’d say even before either of them said anything. “You can’t be serious.” Bayo cut in.
He shrugged. “I am ready bro, you guys can just take the money.”
Subby laughed. “So you can finally give a woman your heart, guy?”
He winked. “The right woman, Subby. You people better get married as soon as possible also and let us stop beating about the bush. We are getting old.”
Bayo hissed. “Leave trash for LAWMA, abeg. Who will be your best man among the two of us?”
“I am not doing any best man o.” Subby objected.
“Why?” Bayo asked, grinning.
“The best man ends up falling in love with the chief bride’s maid.”
Desmond hissed. “You can never be wise. Someone you’d be with for just a day and you are saying that you would fall in love with her. Where’s your sense, Subby?”
Subby shrugged. “You know this idiot has been in love for only God knows when and we are just getting to know about his wedding just two weeks to it. Desmond, why are you so senseless.”
He winked. “I was thinking either of you might just confess about your secret relationship before I do so that the money would be mine too.”
They laughed while Bayo filled their cups again with the wine. They were under the shed beside a swimming pool that afternoon for their talk as Desmond had called it before bringing them there. “So I am the best man, in short.” Bayo said.
Desmond tittered. “Having you as my best man on my wedding, I hope it wouldn’t just turn out to be like Sola and Banky W in that wedding party movie.”
Subby laughed. “Expect the same because the sense in this guy’s head is nothing different from that of Sola.”
Bayo hissed. “If you annoy me, I will just scatter the wedding.”
“There will be heavy security that day, if you try any nonsense, they will bundle you out of that place like a mat.” Desmond winked.
“Since when have you been hiding this girl, Desmond? When are we even meeting her, or is it on your wedding day that we will know the wife we are marrying?”
“I’ll make sure you meet her this coming week, perhaps we just eat out.”
Subby nodded. “That makes sense too. I just don’t understand this type of wedding you want to do, why is it lowkey, sudden and somehow to me.”
Desmond contorted his mouth. “I actually have something bothering me, guys. I wish I could open up to you but you guys don’t have sense.”
Bayo laughed. “Don’t open up anything, we will blow everything away and add to your problems.”
Subby shook his head as he laughed too. “I am sensible enough to share your burden because I don’t know why I feel this wedding appears sudden, Desmond. What is it that you want to share?”
Desmond was still not sure if he should let them know everything. He already promised Kike he was not going to discuss their secret with anyone and he wouldn’t want to betray her, perhaps he should just let them know about Feire and what he should do about her. He tweaked his nose and drifted closer to them as he began to explain everything, hiding the case of Kike’s pregnancy and all that has transpired.
Subby pulled his beards as he looked away. He didn’t know what to say to him. Bayo also dropped his cup of drink and was dumbfounded. The three of them exchanged glances as silence ruled their midst for seconds before Bayo picked up his cup of drink and sipped again.
“You know what, Desmond?” Subby clenched his fists.
“What? What would you advise me to do, guy.”
“You are just…” He stopped abruptly and shook his head.
“He is just mad!” Bayo cut in angrily. “Guy, from this nonsense you just explained it means that there must be a reason why you want to marry this new girl, Desmond. Guy!” He dropped his cup.
Desmond dropped his head. If his friends could start murdering him like this, he must have done so bad that he deserves no mercy.
“I am disappointed, guy. Why do I feel you want to marry this new girl because of money, Desmond?”
He raised his head and shook it immediately. “Not at all, guys. True, her parents are stinkly rich, in fact her father would be handing the company over to me soon and already did a lot for me, but it has never been about her money, guys. I never knew she was even this rich until I first stepped into their house. I can boldly say it is not about money, Subby.”
“So what?” Bayo shrugged with a sly smile. “Do you know how badly that lady would feel if she gets to know about this now, guy?”
Subby held Bayo. “It is not even about how she would feel now, it is about how she would feel in two weeks’ time, it would be worse than if she gets to know now because she would know that you have been planning this wedding for a while and you have dumped her for so long, Desmond. You really have bleeped up.”
Desmond sighed. He was playing with his fingernails as the two lashed him. He didn’t know they were going to be that keen on him, he wouldn’t have told them anything. “What should I do now?”
“You are the one who’s meant to tell us why you are getting married this fast.”
“Guys, we are not getting younger!” Desmond hit the table.
“Shut up!” Subby slammed the table too. “Just keep quiet there, Desmond.” He seemed so angry already. “We are not getting younger but not to fix a wedding within a month, guy. We are not idiots!”
“Is she pregnant?” Bayo asked.
Desmond nodded. “Yes.”
Subby laughed.

I agree with you and I like the fact that his friends could even spot that something was wrong with his wedding....Desmond is a typical Yoruba 'demoned'..

FEIRE - EPISODE ELEVEN

The issue was getting tougher for him. Desmond and Bayo already said they wouldn’t come for such a wedding. He didn’t know what to tell them again than it was too late for him to pull out of the wedding now. Her father would just ruthlessly deal with him, he has also informed his own family, and it was just too late to start pulling out of the mess he has gotten himself to.
He picked his laptop and began to type a mail to explain how far he has gone and how hard it was for him to pull out of the wedding maybe his friends would change their mind because it would be weird to go to his in-law’s place without any friend. He hoped they would respond to him and just cover his shame for that day and maybe thereafter he would mail Feire to explain everything to her because he was not sure he would be able to stand before her to explain himself.

13 days to Marriage
Feire dropped her make-up kit and turned towards Mosun. “Is it okay like this?” She asked.
Mosun nodded.
They just came back from church about two hours before then and now Feire was going out with Fola and his fiancé as they have informed her since Saturday evening. They seemed to be heaven-sent, coming at the right time to make her not feel any heartbreak or go into depression. She didn’t bat an eyelid before she gave in to follow them out, at least she would catch some fun and would still be able to keep her hopes that not all men are the same.
“What will you buy for me when coming?” Mosun asked.
Feire stared at her. “When are you going back to your house sef, I am not depressed, at least you can see.”
“It is just because I am around you, be acting like macho there as if you will not miss me.”
Feire chuckled. “Keep raising your hopes, baby girl.”
“But I keep wondering why these two are getting closer to you, Feire. Do you think there is anything attached?”
Feire shrugged. “Like what?”
“I don’t know, at the same time I don’t feel it is just entirely normal like that.”
She sniggered. “I don’t want to attach anything to our relationship. I am off.” She waved as she walked to the door.
“Take care dear.”

** ** **

Feire stepped into the eatery and spotted Fola and Stella at a corner just talking and laughing. If she wouldn’t be perturbed with Desmond’s thought, that should be where she has to be, she had thought before walking towards them.
“Good afternoon, Feire.” Stella hurried to her feet and hugged her.
Feire smiled. “Good afternoon.”
“Did you go to church today?” She threw at Feire.
Feire nodded. “Yes. Good afternoon, Fola.”
“That sounds better than your fake respect of all these days, Feire.”
“Sit down.” Stella told her as she sat down too.
“Thanks, Stella.” She sat down and faced Fola. “Fake respect? Me?”
“I was just joking. I guess my fiancé’s presence has made it easy for you to rapport with me now, right?”
She shrugged. “Maybe. At least it has proven that you have no ulterior motive.”
They all laughed.
“So what would you like to eat?” Stella asked her.
“I don’t know. I feel anything you guys are okay by, I would also go with it.”
Stella grinned. “No problem, dear. There is gist for you, Feire.”
“Really?” Feire turned towards her well. “What gist?” She asked.
“It is between us, we will talk when we are alone.” She winked.
Fola hissed. “You ladies would start with all these lame talks now, right?”
“Is it paining you because there is no male friend her that you can be forming guy with? Abeg, shift.”
Feire laughed. “Pidgin still seems to flow on your tongue well, Stella.”
“I have always loved speaking it, I have never been good at it though, but I just push everything together and make it sound nice.” She winked again and they laughed.
“Let me order something.” Fola stood up and left the two of them on seat.
“Better! Ladies want to talk.”
Fola chuckled. “You? You will explain if it is Feire you would be talking to or me, Stella.”
Stella stuck her tongue out and laughed at Fola as he walked to make order for what they would eat.
“So what is the gist about?” Feire asked, eager to know what she wanted to tell her.
“It is very long, so I can’t discuss it here. Can I just come and sleep at your place?” She asked.
Feire was shocked. She wasn’t expecting that at all, she was so friendly and seemed so free around her. She doesn’t even know Feire so well yet and she was ready to come and sleep at her place for them to just gist and play? She didn’t know what to say, whether to turn her down or to agree, not even now that Mosun was also around.
“What’d you say, Feire?” She grinned, shaking happily as if Feire already agreed.
“Erh.. no problem. Anytime.”
“Sure, it is tonight.”
“But I am going to work tomorrow, Stella.”
Stella chuckled. “Forget! Is your show tomorrow?” She asked.
Feire shook her head. “No.”
“So you are free.”
Feire didn’t even know what she should feel like. She didn’t know what Fola would say when he returned back and how this her sudden friendship was moving, she was liking it so much but still wondering if it wouldn’t affect the boss and employee relationship between herself and Fola.
“What if Fola says…”
She held Feire’s hand. “He wouldn’t try that, dear. He told me I have to make friend with you, so he would pay the price to make this happen.”
“Huh?”
She nodded. “Yes dear. Tonight, we are going to be having some talks and you are going to be enjoying this outspoken talkative.”
They laughed.

** ** **

Feire didn’t know what to call everything happening. It just seemed as if she was a specimen that every good and bad things were tested on. Why would her boss’ wife like her so much to be her friend and even to come over to her own place to sleep? She was dumbfounded when Fola agreed that she should come to her place to sleep and also granted her absence from work. He must have really loved her for him to just hearken to everything she tells him.
She didn’t even know how she would manage this extreme extrovert and her other issue called Mosun. At least Mosun would leave for work tomorrow but she would still be with Fola’s wife-to-be, discussing what? She didn’t even know the gist she has been telling her she would love to share with her. She drove home and Fola’s car also followed as she drove on. He followed to drop Stella before he leaves for his own place that evening.
She honked by the gate twice when she remembered her mind have not crossed Desmond for about three hours now. She was right by getting closer to these two, they have really been of help to her emotions. She drove in while Fola parked his car outside and he alighted with Stella so they could go inside together.
“Welcome to my small abode.” Feire welcomed them as she alighted from the car.
“This place is so beautiful, Feire.” Stella looked around, stunned by what she was seeing.
“Thanks. Please meet my friend.” She introduced Mosun who came to get the gate and they all entered the living room. Feire signaled to Mosun as they entered for her to see her so she could explain how everything was to her. The two of them stepped aside while Fola and Stella sat in the living room discussing and laughing. She soon returned to meet them.
“I should be leaving now, Feire. At last I now know where you stay.”
“I was not hiding this place before.”
He laughed. “This place is very nice.”
“Thank you.”
“You will come to our place too very soon.” Stella dropped happily.
Feire didn’t even know what to say, she just smiled. The two escorted Fola outside and watched him drive off before they entered the house.
“Can we just sit in the compound here for fresh air before going inside?” Stella asked.
Fola nodded. “Sure.”
Stella brought out her phone and punched some buttons and handed the phone to Feire. “Take.”
Feire collected it and watched what was displayed and froze.

I can deduce that Stella is a bait to catch Feire for Fola
Stella is not Fola fiancee but a cunning way men used to catch their target
