OBSESSED
Episode 1
She sat thinking of how it all started. Thinking about it gave her goosebumps. A tear trickled down the right cheek. Certainly loving a person isn't a sin. Now it's done and gone how will she face her life, future and family?
She stood up and went to the refrigerator, took a pack of ice cream and devoured it. At a time like this, eating is the only thing that can take her mind away from her troubles. Shortly, her phone buzzed, relunctant to pick up, she peeped at the caller and saw it's content. It was him. Her heart skipped a bit as she hesitated to pick up.
"Hello" she finally said after some minutes of silence waiting for the caller to speak first but seemed the caller had same dumbness as her.
"Hello" the male at the other end finally replied
"Yes?" The air was becoming unbearable
"I'm sorry"
"What?" She almost chocked on the ice cream. Hearing this was the last thing she expected
"I'm sorry for what I did, for everything, from the beginning till now. For putting you into this" his voice as soft as those of a Nightingale.
"I don't expect you to reply but it's the truth. I'm ready to take responsibility. There are other ways to solve this. Let's meet and discuss please" he said again
" oh..kay" was all she could mutter.
"Poles street, 14, grils land. Let's meet at the restaurant there. This evening, 6 pm. Have a nice day".
Beep. He ended the call without waiting for her response.
She suspected a thing. It's not all this rosy and solvy as he's placing it. Her appetite suddenly disappeared. All what she thought of was the situation surrounding this experience. She has to act fast, think fast and have to be steps ahead of him if he's planning anything out of the blue. This situation certainly can't be what he's placing it.
Maybe his intentions are genuine still? She kept pacing about thinking of what mess this can turn out to be.
She picked her phone and placed a call to Dess
"Hey babe" she said on the first ring
"Hey"
"He wants a hookup by 6pm, poles street. Can you watch my back?"
"What exactly do you want me to do"
"Same as always"
"Okay I'll start by 4"
"Perfect. I'll go shopping"
"Okay bye. Working on something presently"
"Alright bye". She dropped the call

Taking her car keys aggressively, she stormed out of the house. Bringing the engine to life, she started the ignition and drove off speedingly along the lonely lane.

4:45pm
Jade's seen pulling up her sky blue sholder arm dress. She stares at herself at the full length mirror and couldn't stop admiring herself. The fell the messy bun over her shoulders and highlighted her cheeks one more time.
Staring at the silver stilettoes her mum bought for her after their vacation in Hawaii, she smiled almost immediately. She certainly has missed her single mum and sister. She slipped in into it. And made for the door. Whatever meeting she's going to be having with Buston, it should be worth the effort, the whole effort...
TBC.

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...
