No room for love

******************

Someone is in a happy mood today, Matts said reaching for a hug. Matt’s you are hurting my back.

Sorry, how is that going Katie. Matts asked dropping Katie’s stuffs beside her bed.

Sly claimed I should be fine soon. Kate said smiling.

Doctor Sly, Huh. Matts said to tease and Kate found it amusing enough to wink.

Ready to go home to that child you call a husband or you would be going with your Mom.

Matts, you realize that’s your brother you just called a child right. Kate asked.

Yes I know very well I just referred to Saint as the child, I learnt that from you Katie.

Matts said standing up to locate something that caught her eye by Kate’s her bedside.

Katie, you got a parcel! Matts said.
Yea, I totally forgot, Sly brought it earlier. Kate replied.
Oh I see, Matts said with a happy tone.

At least someone is paying attention to you now. You deserve it Katie. And I totally would support you to leave that dumbass you call a husband.

He is just handsome with a brain but behaves like he isn’t the marriage type.

Matts, that’s my husband and your brother you keep insulting that way. I ignored, you at first but please can we stop it now. It’s different when I call him names, Kate said sternly.

Wow, are we going to fight over Saint now, Common Katie, use her head. The guy nearly killed you. Matts said.

But he saved me again, besides I can’t keep looking over my shoulders anytime my boys ask me where is Daddy. I remember doing that a lot.

Wilson was never around; I see him once a while but he never cared.

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
