OBSESSED

Episode 7

Jade   stood looking around with her hands folded across her body due to the cold she felt at the moment. It had started to snow, since it was already November.

Soon, she saw a vehicle from afar. As it approached, it appeared to be the taxi’s car. It pulled over and stopped in front of her.

“Hop in” the driver said. His voice more soothing than it was before.

Jade quickly entered and banged the door beside her.

“yearn street please, by the mall” she said as soon as she entered.

“got it” was all he said as he sped off the iced street.

The car was heated, soothing her temperature. She kept her hands across as she went through the pictures she just took, she carefully viewed the pictures to find any clue but she wasn’t getting anything.

By this time, she has already started feeling more pains around her abdomen. She dipped her hands and kept the phone inside her pocket after a fruitless observation.

They took a turn and she got conscious. She had already started dozing off. He just kept looking at her over the driver’s mirror.

He saw how tensed she was some hours ago, and now, she looked rather troubled even in her sleep. He wondered just how someone with such unblemished beauty could have her world all troubled. He had observed she’s never moved with anyone contrary to how he knew other beautiful ladies to act.

He looked at her at one more time and pulled over “we’re here” he said without looking back
“miss, we’ve arrived at your destination” this time, he was forced to check her

She was already sound asleep, holding her stomach. He noticed stains of blood on her cloth but diverted his eyes and tapped her gently on her shoulder “miss?” he called out again.
This time, the touch was effective. She responded with a shift and opened her eyes slowly.

“oh my gosh! did I sleep?” she asked rubbing her eyes with her left palm but her right still holding her abdomen.
“yes ma’am. Can I get my pay now?” he asked, acting not concerned.

“oh yes yes…” she searched around, looking for something “oh no!” she realized she was still in her mystery. “can I go in and get it? Please?” she asked already opening the door
“you’re bleeding down there” he couldn’t bare it anymore. He wished he could take her to the hospital “are you sure you wouldn’t wanna go to the doctor?”

“oh! This? Nah, I’m totally fine. I can clean this up” she replied, embarrassed and he just nodded.

Shortly after, she came out with his pay and saw him nowhere “oh he forgot his pay” she soliloquized, talking to no one in particular and went back inside.

Jade drove speedily toward the country side. She was definitely going insane and her mum might help out. As she drove along the road, she noticed the same car trailing behind her. Same car she saw at the parking lot. She slowed down, almost hitting it and got a view of the driver. Although not very visible, she saw a male in it. He was familiar, very familiar. She felt connected as she looked at him through the rare mirror.
The car revised, and took a U-turn. That was it. She didn’t see the car again till she arrived at her destination.

“mum ” Jade called out, without knocking. She opened the door and made way into the living room.

“Lizzy!” Jade shouted upon seeing her for the first time in six months.

“Jade!” she ran to hug Jade. They stayed in that position till Jade broke the silence

“where’s mum?”

“she’s at the doctor’s. they said she has partial stroke. She can’t talk but can move slowly. They said…” lizzy burst out crying

“shhhh. It’s okay. Let’s go see mum. I told you to stay with her”

“I just came to collect a few stuffs” Lizzy said, wiping her tears and sniffing.

“come on, let’s go”

Jade led the way, got into her car, and drove off.
Jade tried to look round for the trailing car again but none was in sight

“what’s wrong? Why are you always staring the your rare mirror?”
“oh, it’s nothing. I just feel someone’s been following me.”
“do you have any clue?”
“no, I don’t. but I feel I know the person. I didn’t really see his face”
“oh… It’s a male” Lizzy teased
“don’t you dare” Jade said giving her a short glare
“oh come on! For all we know, he might be your suitor” Lizzy said winking and smiling like a child. Jade just shook her head and focused on the road.

Soon, they were at the hospital. Jade parked and rushed down carrying some of what Lizzy brought along.

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...
