The following day I was at work, I did my usual assignment but it was filled with error.When I summited the file I was sent back to redo it.I knew what the problem is which is concentration, I wasn't concentrating. My eyes was always at the door to know when Ohio will walk in.Through out the night after JoJo left with his card I couldn't sleep.I thought of calling him within the night but waved it off.I don't know what came over me yesterday, I was very angry with him for my selfish reasons. And jealous because of his woman.There is a better way to part but not the way I went about it.I had a sleepless night because of him and today again, I just felt useless with myself and with everything.The business day was over and Ohio did not come.I was angry at everything even as I got home, I stare at my dinner angrily. No appetite or strength to lift the spoon to my mouth.I had a knock on my door and rush to check, it was an unknown face. A young man maybe in his early thirties, d
He went into my boss office and remained there till closing time.As other staffs were leaving, I was slowly packing up like a snail with the hope that Mr Ohio will be out soon.He later came out with my boss, I quickly got up with my bag. I wanted him to notice me and he did.When my boss saw me he looked over at his friend, I guess he wanted to see Ohio's reaction.Ohio acted cool and also respond to my greeting as I walked pass them.I wish he called me back or say something to me but he didn't, he continued speaking to my boss as they stepped out.I felt a little better seeing him again after some days that seems like a year.When I got to my gate, I saw Silas driving out of his own gate which was a stone throw to mine.He waved at me from his car and I waved back.He parked the car beside the road and jogged down to where I was standing, he greeted me cheerfully."I'm driving out to get some fruits, vegetables and few other things for the house. all thanks to you, I know where to
Anita brought her wedding card for me, she asked if I can be her chief brides’ maid but I have already given myself a good retirement both from catching flowers at my friend’s wedding and also from being among the brides maid.My Dad almost changed my name to “a flower girl” because I go to other people’s wedding and return with a bouquet of flower. I was never lucky to be the one in a wedding gown.Almost every of my friends are far ahead with their husbands or fiance. I’m left here with no particular man to call mine.In three months’ time I will be completing 30years. Life has dealt drastically with me but not fully because no matter how hard it get, I still try to live every day at a time, I find reason to be alive. I don’t know how long living like this will go on but I don’t think I have any choice over whatever life throws at me.We sat and talked and I brought up the case of Jojo and Richard, and asked her why she did not inform me even after she discovered about their secret
“They are really trying here with their method of preparing meal, creating a time table for each day menu. Although this salad is not close to the one Lili once brought to the office for you and I had a share from it. I couldn’t tell you but it was well prepared and garnished. Have not tasted anything like it before.The lady was not speaking to me, she was trying to create a conversation between her and Ohio. If Lili cooks so well and even brings food to his office which means Lili is his wife or wife to be.Ohio nodded his head while taking a spoonful of the coleslaw. He later wipe his mouth with a serviette tissue and sad.“Lili is a great cook, she knows how to make different dish and I have tasted almost all her new discovery because she won’t let me be until I do. Some I like while others I don’t want to try again. `The lady laugh. Ohio looked up at me, I pretend to be concentrating on my food. I wanted to get up and fly away from their presence but my legs may not be able to
"Ri...chard what...are you doing here and how did you get my house address?I asked angrily. I was shock to see him immediately I stepped outside my door.He looked like a child that was beaten up by his Mom.Richard looks like he was going to cry." Becca, I..I don't know what I was thinking when I broke up with you. I loved you deeply, I still do but I was too carried away to realize how much of you was inside of me. I said awful things to you, Becca... please I'm really sorry. I listened to the wrong person, I was deceived and swept off by appearance and my foolishness. We kept it away as a secret and I don't know if you later found out but I'm ready to confess everything to you and who I Left you for. Plea...I gave a heavy unbothered sigh before saying."Is not new Richard. you said you were living me for someone who is better than me, a smart, loving, classy, very pretty lady who knows all the bed action which I don't posses. I was hoping and expecting a whole new guru, a specia
I was about to hush Richard for speaking that way to Ohio who did not look offended, Ohio chuckled at Richard's word before saying."I'm sorry to irritate you but you will definitely feel better when you are out of here. I may not know when you started with Becca but I learnt that you broke up with her just to date her friend, and when the relationship went sour you decided to return to the same person that you disespected and trashed her feelings. You should really be ashamed Mr man. How can you come back to your vomit? Remember... she wasn't good enough, her beauty and class wasn't to your level anymore, she got no romantic action and was not pretty enough... even her age was begining to bore you. Let me ask you, has Becca's class suddenly improved, her age reduced, has everything that made you run off to be with her over qualified friend changed all of a sudden? Is very obvious that she is still same person you left to pick stones just like you put it. I'm glad to hear you say tha
Since Jojo was a drama queen, and never stop displaying her madness physically, she will meet her match in Melinda who is never afraid of anything or anyone.Jojo walked up to Joe and extend her hand out to him.“I’m Joan Johnson, my friends call me Jojo. I’m Becca’s best friend, a video vixen, a model, dancer and every good thing you can think off…She smiled, exposing her fine set of teeth.Joe returned the smile without much thought. He took her extended hand and shake“Is nice to meet you Jojo.Joe dropped her hand gently but Jojo wasn’t ready to let the young man rest. She wanted to hear more about him even after seeing his wedding ring.Jojo moved to seat at the armrest of Joe’s chair but unfortunately for her Melinda was already at the door with a napkin which she is using to wipe her wet hands.Melinda stood watching and listening to her. As Jojo abandoned other comfortable seat to go and seat at Joe’s armrest, Melinda barked at her like a dog. Jojo startled at the harsh voice
“whaaaat!!!Joe and Melinda chorused together in shock immediately Jojo brought up my Dad into the discussion.My whole patient and upbringing ran out through the window and I was almost standing to land on Jojo but Melinda was ahead of me.She fling the napkin to her face and went straight at Jojo who seemed to be prepared for the moment.A serious fight broke out, Melinda was fighting with annoyance and anger at the way Jojo was not remorseful for all her deeds.They threw each other at every corner of the house, Joe tries to separate but I told him not to intervene. Joe did not listen, he we went pulling Melinda who has intertwined herself with Jojo on the floor.Jojo try to turn her over and that moment Joe was pulling Melinda which gave Jojo the gap to hit and turn Melinda over to the ground.Jojo sat on Melinda, blowing and hitting her hard while calling her nasty names. Melinda felt helplessly as Jojo hit her. I was not going to let Jojo take the trophy of a winner. It was obv
