Okay...

I know someone is probably saying, what BS has she come to say this time.

I take no offense, really.

Truth is I'm actually not too pleased with myself at the moment, a lot has been happening and I've not really been in the right frame of mind to pen something down.

I someone had told me that things would have turned out this way this week, I probably wouldn't have believed... *smiles*

I'm actually fine but it's just a complicated ish, school accommodation, search for IT placement. Exams ended last week, on the 18th. It should have ended on he 17th though but it was postponed.

I'm truly tired of making excuses, this isn't me. *sighs*

I'm so wishing I could complete the story today and all, and possibly start the many more that have been ringing in my head for months.

But it's not as easy as it sounds.

I'm grateful to y'all that have stood by me even though I've been you know...

Thank you...

MJ45 thanks, what you said kinda gave me hope.

To those who wished me a happy birthday, lanicky, cheriepet, logodwhiz and so many others on various threads and platforms. God bless you all.

iamayodeji welcome back

dammygoody, walewunmi, vonn, nationalnwa, richlizzy, spring004, lilmizzy, toykathy, et al. Sorry it's really my weakness to list names, thank you for not abandoning this thread, even though it looks like I did.

Thanks everyone

*sighs*

*covers face and gets on her knees*

Hi...

I don't think I can do this... *sighs again*

I can't do this... I'll be back...

I'm trying to transfer the lost data while merging the chapters, for instance that's chapter 26 in one part and not two parts like it was.

But to be frank, I'm tired, copying and pasting while eventually taking time to space on my phone is taking time and I have an exam tomorrow.

Not trying to make excuses, but I promise that this thread will come back to life like it was...

Just give time, thanks y'all...

*come to amphitheatre, I’ll be there in 5mins.
He closed the text and picked his wallet, he had been in
touch with her but had intentionally avoided bringing up
the issue. He was glad she was making the move
herself.

“Where to?” he faced his roommate who was fanning
himself with a sports newspaper,

“I’ll be back soon,” Ore replied.

“Obviously we know you’ll be back soon, the question is
where are you off to?” Bashiru one of his coursemates
who was not a legal occupant of the room but had been
squatting with them ever since they moved in stated.

“I’m going somewhere, make una free me now, besides I
don’t have much time.” he said and made to leave the
room when the door opened.

Yemi, Uzor and Coded entered the room, he greeted them
hastily and left the room. He did not have the luxury to
sit and listen to another series of lecture of how he was
acting crazy for a girl who friend zoned him.

Even though he knew things were not as he would have
loved. He feared what the outcome of his meeting with
Dami would be, he would rather prefer that she
friend zoned him instead of her admitting to be gay.

“Wetin dey do am?” he overheard Coded asking his
roommates.

He did not hear the reply provided but he heard their
laughter.

Obviously they had resorted to making mockery of him,
what else did he expect from them?

—————-

Sitting in his apartment all day was tiring, he saw a
handbill someone had given to him the previous day on
the table.

He picked it and read it again, attending the relationship
seminar was not a bad idea, was it?

First it had been Bimpe, the girl who had made him
appear like a weakling and then when he had
summoned courage to move on by approaching Sandra,
he had failed again since she was taken.

He thought about Princess, personally he saw nothing
wrong with dating a girl from another tribe. He just did
not understand why people still took inter-tribal
marriages as a big deal, but the fear of being rejected
was the stumbling block on his way.

He took the handbill and walked out of his flat, after
ascending the stairs he realised he did not know his
neighbours flat. The two different doors confused him,
what if he knocked on a particular door and somebody
else replied him?

He decided to knock the door by his right, after knocking
for about three consecutive times without getting any
response.

He turned towards the other door and knocked, he raised
his hands to knock the second time when he saw the
door bell.

He pressed it and almost rather quickly the door opened
revealing Chuks with a sleepy look on his face.

He sighed, happy that the occupants of the previous flat
were not around or had chosen not to answer him.

“Sorry Chuks, seems I woke you up.” he smiled at
Chuks.

Chuks shook his head and opened the door giving him
the chance to come inside.

“So you’re apologising but you’re smiling at the same
time.” he laughed while pointing at the spot where Femi
would keep his footwear, “na wa oh, but you didn’t
wake me up. I was awake already.” he concluded.

“I was smiling because I knocked on the other door
outside.” Femi replied while following Chuks lead.

“Oh, the people who stay there are not around. In fact
they are not really based in Nigeria, the man and his
wife just use that flat when they come to Nigeria which
is once in a blue moon.” Chuks explained.

Femi sat on the couch and admired the sitting room, he
smiled at Chuks who simply nodded obviously getting
his message.

“So this one you came here today?” Chuks asked while
leaving the sitting room.

“I wanted to invite you and your sister for a
programme.” Femi replied.

“Your church?”

“No, someone gave me this flier yesterday and I just felt
like going. Its not a church stuff anyway, its a seminar
on relationships.”

Princess walked in at that point wearing knee-length
shorts and a sweat shirt.

“Relationship seminar?” she questioned while sitting
and waving at Femi.

“Yes, lets all go now.” Femi suggested.

“I’m not going jawe, got no business with
relationships.” Chuks who had returned to the room
replied.

“I’m not going too,” Princess chipped in.

“Haba now! So you both are going to stay indoors all
day, oya lets go see a movie.” Femi pressed on, he was
really bored and needed a break.

“That’s not bad.” Princess spoke with enthusiasm.

“Because you have the money?” Chuks reprimanded,
“thanks Femi but we are good.”

“You guys chill, the bill is on me. Lets just go out.”

“No, don’t bother” Princess replied quickly, she did not
want a guy feeling fly simply because he payed for her
movie tickets.

“See this one. Thanks Femi, make I dress, we’ll go
together.” Chuks stuck his tongue at Princess.
Princess who was not finding it funny wore a frown, she
was bored and wanted to go out too.
But would it be wise accepting the silent signals she
thought she was getting from Femi? Or was she
imagining things?


She dried her tears with the handkerchief he had given
her, ever since she started explaining everything to him,
the tears had refused to stop flowing. She looked at Ore
and suddenly wish he would say something to her.

Anything at all, he had not spoken a word since she
began to narrate her ordeal, no word of encouragement,
chastisement, nothing.

To make matters worse, his expression was blank. She
could not even fathom what was going through his
mind. The only form of communication she had gotten
from him was the handkerchief he had given her to wipe
her face.

“Please say something now.” she pleaded, it would be
better if he said harsh things to her rather than him
keeping quiet and acting like she had not just narrated
all she had been through in the past couple of days and
most of her teenage life.

She stood and walked away from him, he probably
thought bad of her already. She had no idea where she
was going to but she just felt that urge to walk away
from him.

Looking into his expressionless face without having a
clue as to what he thought about her was killing.
Although she felt a whole lot better that she had been
able to talk to him about it.

She was almost approaching the sports centre, she tried
to resist the temptation of turning back to see him
possibly running after her, telling her everything would
be alright.

She gave herself a mental slap, they were not dating so
why would he bother running after her? And she was the
one who chose to walk away, not like he chased her.
She secretly prayed he was following her behind.

She felt a thump in her head, Oh no! Not again, why
would her head decide to start again? She placed her
left hand on her head and felt her knees going weak, the
people and cars in front of her suddenly had duplicates.

The pain she felt in her head increased again, this time
it was as if someone was using a hammer to hit her
head and someone else was pricking it with a sharp
nail.

She screamed out loud and the last she remembered
was her being enveloped by masculine arms.
If the owner of these arms was who she thought it to be,
she really would not mind fainting multiple times just so
he would not let her be alone.

She realised she had a best friend all along but had been
too silly to realise it.

“Thank you,” the words she said in her subconscious,
sadly he could not hear her.

—————–

She stood and paced around her room, she just did not
understand what was going on. Who was the lady that
picked? And why did she
ask her who Fola was.

She had expected to speak to Fola but had been shocked
when the lady picked the call.
Apparently she had Fola’s phone with her.
Her phone had then tripped from her hands and the call
had automatically ended. Picking the parts that were
scattered around, her mind had gone through different
journeys thinking about the days she had spent with
Fola.

She in Fola’s arms, cuddling next to him, telling him
how her day went and discussing important to less
important matters. That was when it occured to her that
she did more of the talking, she knew little about his
family, the only family member she knew about was his
sick mother. A woman she had never even met in
person.

She thought of the distressing phone call, minutes before
she spoke to the lady that picked the call, she had been
excited that Fola’s phone was ringing. But now her joy
had been cut short by the worries that were forming a
queue in her troubled heart.

Things just did not seem right, how could someone else
pick his call? If it were a family member, the person
ought to know Fola’s name, right? She tried to convince
herself.

Did he misplace his phone? How would she even find
out what the problem was? It was not as if she had the
contact of any of his family members, so there was no
way she could know exactly what the problem was.

She had made up her mind to call him back after re-
assembling her phone but had stopped when she
remembered the soap opera she had seen the day
before.

Could it be that Fola was cheating on her? Who was the
woman that picked the call when she called?
If it was a family person, she was not suppose to ask
her who Fola was?

It probably meant that Fola was not really what she
thought he was, she had slept off in a bid to think things
through and now that she was awake, she suddenly
discovered she was scared to call Fola again and know
what the problem really was.

What if she discovered something that she did not want
to know?
She shrieked as the thought of heartbreak came
knocking on the delicate door of her heart.

She stopped in her tracks as she nearly bumped into
someone.
“Uhn?” she looked up in surprise at the unexpected
visitor.

How come she did not realise she had a visitor all
along?
She wondered how long the person had spent in
watching and analysing her.

And how on earth could he be in the same room with
her?

It seemed the day sure had a lot of surprises in stock for
her.

Thanks Princesa and LogoDWhiz, I have my story on my blog though.

@D9ty7, you should try this... You'd only need to input the right keywords while google searching.

Does this look familiar?

PROLOGUE
- A black limousine pulled up in front of Mag.oltin shopping mall, a chauffer came out and opened the door of the owners corner. A young man in his mid twenties alighted and walked into the shopping with the chauffer closely behind him.
- "Mummy I am off to the beach, you know it's my friends birthday and I need to be part of the fun." Nadia said to her mother who wassitting down comfortably in her well furnished office which stood on the west wing of Mag.oltin shopping mall, the largest shopping mall in West Africa and the joint second largest in the whole of Africa.
"No problem. Just make sure you stay in the shallow part of the beach and come back on time." Magret Oltin the CEO of Mag.oltin shopping mall adviced her daughter, Nadia.
"Thank you mummy." She said as she ran out of the office in excitement.
- "Ow! Am very sorry." She screamed as she bumped into a young man who was obviously doing some shopping.
"Oh my God! Can't you see properly or are you wearing a veil?" Raymond said angrily.
"I said am sorry." Nadia said as she bent down to assist the chauffer in picking up Raymon's cell phone.
"Learn to look at your front next time." Raymond adviced.
Nadia ignored him and walked out of the shopping mall.
- "Rukiat, take this is the key to the car you requested for." Major Gen. Anderson said to his only daughter as he handed a car key to her.
"Waoh! Thank you daddy. I love you so much." she said as she hugged her father tightly.
"Anything for you my princess." He replied.
Rukiat ran down the stairs into the garrage where a brand new Range rover sport 2014 model stood before her.
She unlocked the door and entered the car.
"I love you daddy." She muttered as she switched on the ignition.
- "Secretary, how much did you say the estate will cost us?" John Oltin, a business tycoon also a billionaire asked his secretary.
"Seventy Million naira sir." the secretary replied.
"Okay go to the account department with this and work on it." John ordered his secretary who collected a memo sheet on which eighty million naira withdrawal was stated.
- "Raymond, where are you?" Chief David Meyler a business tycoon, also a billionaire asked over the phone.
"Dad, am just coming back from Mag.oltin."
"Come back here quickly, we have a deal." Cheif Meyler ordered.

Na me come late pass...congrats on FP oooo

*continued*

He had not been able to sleep well the previous night, the events that occurred kept replaying in his dreams.
He had taken Dami to her hostel and had spoken to her on the phone several times after, he wished he could visit her in her room but for the school policy which forbade guys from entering female hostels.

He was still very much confused about everything, what did that girl mean by claiming that Dami was her girlfriend? And why did Dami faint on seeing her?

If Dami had probably challenged the girl, he would not be as confused as he was. But she had been quiet and had simply reacted by passing out.

To worsen matters, the weird girl had equally disappeared. If Dami was her girlfriend, it meant that she was a lesbian, he feared as he thought of the possibility.

Could that be the reason his friends claimed he was in the friendzone? He wished he could hear what Dami had to say but because she was still weak and resting in her room.

Was that what she had wanted to tell him before? Was she planning to inform him that she was a lesbian?
The unaswered questions kept piling up in his mind without any solution popping out.

Was the girl that left him breathless into girls?

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

Dami ended the call and stared at her phone screen, if she had the chance to come back into this world. She would never make the mistake of picking Evelyn as a friend.

The girl had put her through hell on earth, how could one person be so problematic?
She still felt bad that she had kept back some information from her brother.

It was strange that Femi called her, he was the last person she was expecting to call at that point.
Her classmates and other students she had never met had been bombarding her phone with their calls and texts wishing her speedy recovery.

While speaking to her elder brother, she had assured him that all was fine with her. Why did he call at this point in time? Was he aware about how she fainted in school? The news had spread fast on bbm and tweets had done justice in increasing the flame.

How they managed to get her picture was a mystery, why would anyone take photographs of someone who was unconscious?

What if brother Femi knew and had simply called to confirm, he would probably inform their parents or aunty Titi. If he did that, she was in trouble.

It would be way better if she informed them herself or was he stylishly giving her the opportunity to redeem herself by telling the truth?

The thoughts of explaining to either her mother and her father however scared the shiit out of her, her first priority would be to explain to Ore.

She could not figure out what Ore would be thinking, he was the only true friend she had met in a long time.
Even the period she thought she had a best friend in Evelyn, she had been proved wrong.

What if Ore changed his attitude towards her? He probably thought bad of her already. So many times she had informed him that she needed no guy in her life on the claims that her books were her topmost priority.

What if he began to think she was actually a lesbian? She should have told him earlier, if she had probably informed him the situation of things would probably be better.

She had simply complicated issues by not appreciating the concern he had shown her, she secretly prayed she would not lose him

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

She tossed around the bed and snuggled happily under the sheets.
Who would have thought yesterday would end on a happy note?

Osagie had eventually showed up explaining that he went to the market to buy foodstuffs.
He had prepared lunch and the evening had turned out fine.

It had exactly ended up as she anticipated, only that they were yet to get to the part that involved talking about what had happened.

They would get to talk later today as soon as she had fully settled down, Osagie had gone to use the bathroom located at the backyard and she could not wait for him to return.

When she had seen him yesterday, she realised how she had missed everything about him, from his smell to his voice, to the way his eyes never left her face when they spoke to each other, his kisses and his hands that knew the appropriate manner of administering their touch.

She smiled as she recalled the events of yesterday, she turned towards the sound of Osagie's phone ringing on the table.
She ignored the phone and snuggled more under the sheets.

The phone rang the second time again, she had no business with his call. But she had no idea who the caller was, she wrapped the sheets around her body and walked towards the table.

On picking the phone the call had ended, she dropped the phone and was about to return to the bed when it began to ring again.
She saw the caller id, who was Sandra?

A friend or a business colleague? The person was calling repeatedly and Osagie was yet to return from the bathroom.

She decided that she would just pick the call and ask the caller to call back later.

That was the only sensible thing she thought of at that point.

*covers face*

Just second day of school and I've been so busy. I tried to draft the chapter yesterday night but was so tired that I slept off.
And now my phone is almost MBless but you guys should bear with me.

Pharmacy school is time-consuming, demanding and fun at the same time.

Make una no vex, uhn
