2024-10-29 19:42:56Few weeks later. Dare.
"Stick around for a while then in two hours time, close for the day."
My boss addressed, on his laps was the secretary I already told you about. At first, he had known too well to hide it from us, but now, he had brought his adultery to work. Even though he already had two kids and wife. Kids who were not doing fine financially. I have no idea why someone could be so inconsequential to give what would sustain his family to a side chick. Pleasing a sidekick at the detriment of his own family. How dumb.
"Do you want to join us?"
He nudged me back into reality. Oops. Why was I still standing there?
"Sorry. I'll go now."
I turned and walked towards the door.
"Goodbye, Dare."
I heard the secretary call. I didn't want to turn to her but twould be nothing but an insult since she was the mistress of my boss.
I turned to her and nodded, but then she winked seductively at me. I turned away immediately and walked out of the office.
She had been giving me some worthless and dimwitted signals. And if I do have the opportunity, I'll beat the pulp out of her for thinking that I would stoop so low to consider such lady with no worth as her. Such slut!
I began to walk towards the public staff room when I heard the door to my boss' office opened again. Then I heard my name,
"Dare."
I halted. Twas masculine. My boss. There was nothing to be scared of. I turned and hurried to him but our paths crossed.
"I can see that Dayo likes you."
He started, placing one of his fat hands on my shoulder. He is plumpy and round. 5"5 with protruding belly from beer, eyes dark and deep, scanty moustache and elephant's face.
"I don't think so. She's your..."
"Do not like her back. No matter how hard she tries to have you, do not give in to her. If you want to keep your job. I know you're smart."
He tapped my shoulder again and walked away. I stood there for a moment wondering what had just happened. Was I just threatened because of that annoying Dayo?
I grunted in frustration and turned to walk in the direction of my table but then I had a change of mind. I walked towards the exit. About to step out, someone called at me again,
"Dare."
The heck!, I almost yelled but then looked. Twas Chigozie. The guy who always got my back at work. If I was to take an unofficial off, he was always the one I could call and be there for me.
But I don't know why, the same odd feeling I have towards Lara is the same I have towards him. I don't know why I feel like I can't trust him. Maybe there is something inside of me that needed attention.
I put my hand in the air and twirled it at sequence to signify that I'll be back soon. I just needed time to think about the disturbing things which had been happening to me lately. I needed solitude.
There was a brick bench outside the building which was under a large mango tree. The front of the building was bare, striped, and naked except for few trees and of course food sellers scattered about several ends of the fences.
This is typical of majority of the abandoned project in Lagos, Nigeria. Especially in areas like Mushin like mine.
Twas said that where the PHCN office is situated today ought naturally to be a Public Highschool, but then the government abandoned the project and handed it over to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria.
Though everyday, we've seen people come and go in the name of investing or bringing several other firms to that ground, but little outputs were put into consideration.
And what do I really care? The last thing I would do is fight for a government which doesn't even care for the life of mere protesters. A military government in disguise. Most times, I agree with my friends that Nigeria is but a joke.
I sat on the bench under the tree. It's soothing that I'm the only one there. I've never had the mind for trouble, neither would I ever have. I'm a Christian and it's quite important to follow the teaching of my Lord. Who is called Jesus Christ.
I brought out my phone and unlocked it. I haven't heard from Kola and it's been over weeks. I've even gone to his apartment and I was told that he already moved out. And his phone number had been out of coverage.
Also, since few weeks now, I haven't been able to log in to the Top-face dating app. I ran out of data because of the other financial needs that arose for my mom. But now that I have data, it's better to figure everything out.
I turned on the data and waited for messages to load. Twas as though I was dead and resurrected. Twas as though I'd been gone for several years. The messages on my W******p alone was enough to drain all the percentage of the poor battery.
After a few moments, I received a notification of an email bank alert. My eyes widened as I opened the email first and saw...

I stood up and tried to understand what was happening.
"This is Kola! What's happening? Why did he send me 500k. How am I supposed to understand this?"
I kept muttering. I wanted to shout for joy but I couldn't find the need from the depth of my consciousness, like something wasn't right.
I felt the need to open the Top-face app. I did and started reading the chat...
DO YOU HAVE A BIG COCK?! I HEARD THAT MOST OF Y'ALL AFRICANS DO
DO YOU WANT TO SEE PICTURES?
WITH EVERY SENSES OF CURIOSITY.
LOOKS SUMPTUOUS. I WANT TO CHOKE ON IT.
IT'S RATHER WIERD TO BE APPROACHED BY A LADY BUT ASIDE YOUR BIG DICK, THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT ATTRACTED ME TO YOU. YOU WRITE POETRY. IT'S IN YOUR BIO. I LOVE POETRY AND WOULD LOVE YOU TO WRITE ONE FOR ME SOON. YOU KNOW, I'M 42 AND I'VE DATED GUYS FROM DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE BUT NEVER TRIED OUT AN AFRICAN. THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM HERE IN CALIFORNIA BUT THEN, I DON'T KNOW WHY I FEEL DRAWN TO YOU ESPECIALLY. TELL ME, DO YOU HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT?
YES
THEN THAT'S GREAT. HOW MUCH AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PREPARE A VISA AND BUY TICKET FOR CALIFORNIA OVER THERE?
1 MILLION NAIRA.
"Crazy Kola..."
I muttered. 1 million is way too much. I ignored and kept on reading,
I'LL SEND YOU $10000 FOR EVERYTHING AND CLOTHES YOU WOULD NEED FOR COMING HERE. IN FEW WEEKS, YOU SHOULD BE HERE, I'LL BE BACK FROM UK ALSO TO RECEIVE YOU. AND DO TELL ME IF YOU NEED OTHER INFORMATIONS OF THE PERSON YOU'LL BE STAYING WITH IN CALIFORNIA. I'LL SEND NECESSARY INFORMATION SOON.
DO YOU USE PAYONEER OR PAYPAL OR DO YOU WANT A WIRE TRANSFER. I'LL TALK TO MY SECRETARY AND HE'LL DO IT RIGHT AWAY.
WIRE TRANSFER.
SEND YOUR BANK DETAILS.
SHOULD I BE WORRIED, THE NAME ON YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT ON YOUR TOPFACE'S
"Why didn't he call to ask for account details. Is it what I'm thinking?"
I sat down. My thoughts were now assorted. I was caught between anger and disappointment. But I can't be sure yet. I kept reading, probably he was leading her on,
I COULDN'T USE MY ACCOUNT. I'M SO BROKE THAT MY BANK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. SO, I'M BORROWING MY FRIEND'S FOR THE MEANTIME. YOU SHOULD NOTICE HOW LONG IT TAKES ME TO REPLY YOU.
"Kola!!!"
I grunted. Then I noticed that they didn't chat anymore for that day. For once, I noticed the profile picture on my profile, twas now Kola's. I couldn't help but read the succeeding chats,
KOLA: WE WOULDN'T BE CHATTING HERE ANY LONGER.
THE WOMAN: WHY? AND THE PICTURE ON YOUR PROFILE CHANGED
KOLA: YEA. THAT PICTURE IS MT FRIEND'S. HE HAS BEEN USING MY PHONE ALL THIS WHILE. BUT THEN SINCE HE COULDN'T TALK TO YOU, I COLLECTED BACK MY PHONE. AFTER ALL IT'S MINE.
THE WOMAN: BUT THE FACE ON THIS PROFILE NOW, OWNS THE DICK PICK SENT PREVIOUSLY?
KOLA: ABSOLUTELY.
THE WOMAN: HOW ABOUT POETRY, CAN YOU DO IT?
KOLA: LET'S LEAVE THAT UNTIL I ARRIVE AT CALIFORNIA. MY PAPERS WILL BE READY SOONEST.
THE WOMAN: *LICKING TONGUE EMOJI*
And that was the end of the chat. I didn't know what to think or believe, but the only thing that was so conspicuous was that I had been betrayed by Kola again. How dumb am I! Couldn't I had listened to Lara!!! Why had God allowed it? Should I just stop believing in him?! Didn't he give sinners second chances, am I nor taking after him?
"No, not again, Kola! Not again."
I yelled.
"My opportunity!"
I kept muttering, not certain of what to do anymore. Then suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at it,
ONYX
That's my mom. I answered,
"Hello, my baby. How are you today?"
"I'm fine."
"What I'm about to say, you might not approve of it but I want you to do it for my sake."
I paused for a while to think then shot,
"Don't tell me it's about your brother."
"Unfortunately, it is. He wants to see you tomorrow. Please for my sake."
I sighed. I knew I could never deny her.
"Fine."I succumbed.
"Thank you. Your child would always respect you. I love you baby."
I dropped the call to resume my plight when I heard from behind me,
"You don't look fine, Dare."
I turned. Twas the annoying Dayo. I stood up at once, I didn't have strength for her drama.
"Bye."I walked off the bench and headed towards the office building again. I could see my boss standing at the door.What the fuck! Was that a test?!

Ojuwoye, Mushin."You've grown to be a tough man, Dare."My coconut head uncle started. He was dressed in white Agbada, costly black shoes, a traditional cap, and lots of 24 carat gold chains drooping from his neck as though he was some mannequin. You know, it's pretty annoying when you have a lot of money but are dumb enough not to know what to do with it or how to WISELY spend it.He was tall and lanky. He had this threatening aura, and his deep brown eyes enflamed his beardy face. He's 6"0, thick neck and long hands, wide palms. Enough of his annoying qualities."Hmm."I made a deep threatening sound in my throttle but then my mom sent a warning signal with her well trained eyes. Wonder!

At the beach ~Dare Ofegu~"I want to do a lot of crazy things, Lara."I said, looking at the endless water ahead of us. I could see the waves lapping and crashing, the hankering horizon with crazed connection with the clouds, an inexplicable natural advances. I've never heard the call of the seagulls as seen in the movies. Well, that isn't actually my headache at the moment.I took a glance at her, her eyes pacing my face. I have no idea what she was thinking. But I knew she would be wondering why I had brought her to the beach for the first time. Which she didn't know would be the last.You know, it's somewhat a juvenile knack here that when you visit the beach with a lady, you have a nasty thought. For example, when you take a lady to a hotel or brothel, what other explanation is there to make?But even I don't know my stance at that moment. There are a lot of assorted thoughts struggling to dominate

At Work."Ekaaro, ma."[Morning, ma.]I called out to the kiosk's owner who had just showered her pleasantries. I'm not really sure how old she was but she looked fifty. She was always the first person to say a hello to me. Even when I'm absentminded, she would keep the pleasantries up till I respond. Somehow, her kind gestures remind me of Lara. She must have been like Lara when she was young. A lady who doesn't really put much worth in self respect.I hurried towards the building which housed our offices, walking through the large undeveloped and uninhibited compound. I caught the sight of the tree under which I sat the other day to read the ugly news.I'm sure that there would be no one at work because it's just 7:10am. The resumption hour was 8:00am, and many do arrive 8:30am and even up to 10:00. But both those who resumed 8:00 and 10:00am would write 8:00am and no saint has the guts to rat them out, else you wou

Lekki. ~Dare Ofegu~"What are you going to California for? You won't put your mother in the darkness of it all, would you?"I had tried to avoid her gaze in the first place but there is no use anymore. She wasn't the type to be beaten so easily. I knew my mother too well, she wouldn't stop until she had gotten to the root of the matter, believe me. Or better still, you can see for yourself."We already had this discussion, mom. I got an offer to work with a company over there. You know that I write poetry, so one of the companies in California read one of my poems on allpoetry.com and wanted to meet me in person. I have been postponing it but now that uncle is ready to help, why should I let the opportunity slip off my palms?"I quit talking but the stare she was wearing said it all. She was not ready to give in, I could bet on my life. Then she said,"I had a dream."I stood up at once and

Airport.~Dare Ofegu~"I don't want you to go, yet I can't stop you."Lara remonstrated, her right arm tucked in my left. We were brushing sides and standing in the broad gleaming hallway of the Nnamdi Azikwe International airport."I can't help it too. I must go find that traitor and ask him why he had done that to me after the trust. I even told him that I was giving him the last chance and that if he betray me again, twould be the end of our friendship."I explained, untucking my arm as I wounded it around her waist instead. She took a peek at me, I could see surprise splattered on her face."You can't just expect a lion to stop being a lion because you rescued it and make it live in your house. One day, the killer instinct which defines its being would always flare up."She looked away. I scoffed,"Kola is no lion. He's but a hyena. A very funny creature which hardly works but always want to

California."America."I muttered, looking through the window of the taxi. It seemed to too real to believe. I didn't know why I kept doubting whether or not twas true.My experience in the plane had been extraordinary also. Feeling yourself floating amongst the clouds you had always thought to be an illusion. The clouds being your only neighbors."Your first time?"The taxi driver looked at me through the rearview. I looked away from the window to the tough but hospitable face of the driver with scanty beards. I was trying so hard to compare him to the car drivers back in my country."Yes. My first time."I nodded, trying to convince myself. I was the only one in the taxi. I tried to remember boarding a car from Onipanu to Mushin back in Nigeria, we always have four passengers at the back, two at the front. But nah! I'm riding solo in this Taxi, how refreshing."You want me to

CLEAVER'S AVE. ~Dare Ofegu~ "Come,the dogs won't bite you." As I watched those words escape the woman's small lips, a lot of questions stumbled on themselves in my mind. Questions like... Are you the dogs? Are the dogs you? Have you been a dog before? Were you a dog in your formal life. How could be so sure? But the questions only drooped on my consciousness because I didn't want to be rude. I didn't know her from Adam, neither from Eve. Hehe. But then, strangers should watch what they say to newbies. The memory of a man who was told the same about a dog but was ripped into pieces by the Rottweiler is evergreen in my mind. I found my words, trying not to stutter, though obviously she could see that I'm scared, "You can't be so sure, ma. Dogs are at the mercies of their owners." She shot me a smile, standing behind the two dogs whose dancing tongues were caught between the bridge of t

Morning. ~Dare Ofegu~ "Wakey Wakey!" I heard the call from outside the door of my room. I rolled in bed mumbling inaudibly. "Mr Dare, are you awake yet?" The call came again. I fisted the duvet in my hands, trying to knock off the intrusion but then there was little I could do. "I'm coming in now." That was the final call. I turned over, my face to the white ceiling of the room which seemed endless. The duvet half-tucked into my chest. I was in pajamas. I heard the doorknob bothered and the door creaked. Then came a sequence of barking. "Morning, Mr Dare." The woman called again but even before I could stand up, one of the dogs had jumped on the bed and climbed on me, licking my face with his wet tongue. I could feel my chest wailing for help. Its 130 pounds almost capable of digging up my intestines. "Shit." I wrestled with the dog and ma

Samsara Island: Wedding
Samsara Island. ~Kola Adefarasin~ "The bride." I called, standing next to the groom, Dare, my very good friend. I looked past the group of seven people which were, Dare's mom, Haya's father, Anny, Maria, her son, Samantha and Mr Gasglow, Devin. We were just 12 on the island, gathered beside the crashing waves of the endlessly and alluringly blue ocean. 'Twas just one week after the scene at Samantha's office. I took a glance at Dare for the last time. The joy pacing his face was beyond measure. I'd never seen him that happy. He looked so purposed and jumpy as hell. Because I could see him occasionally take a peek at Samantha. He'd told me while we were flying there that he still didn't trust Samantha. And twas because of that, they'd decided to fasten the process of the wedding before Samantha might change her mind and ruin it all. I knocked off the distraction. After all, I was

Somewhere in California.~Dare Ofegu~"Come to daddy."I called at her. She was wearing a black and red lingerie which revealed every curves and her sumptuous tits. She was leaning on the closed door of the room, her back to the door, her body to me. There was a murderous smile seeped in her face.I was kneeling in the middle of the bed, my boner poking hard against my short. I watched her push one of her knees up and pressed that sole to the door, moving the leg seductively, her thighs slightly paving. I knew I had no patience.She suddenly traced her left palm down her body and rubbed her finger over her pussy, the strap in the way hardly foiling the mood.She turned slowly, her back now to me, as she took two steps backwards. She leaned forward towards the door and shook her big booties heavily before my eyes.And that was it. I was done being taunted. Done being an audience.

Dirty Cards
Same.~Ninny~"Oh, baby."I fell into his open arms and held unto him so tightly. Even though he smelt unwashed and his clothes seemed smeared from the prison dusts, I didn't care. All I wanted was the warmth of his body. The warmth I've been trying to get acquainted with this short period of time."Are you alright?"I asked as I looked up him. I kissed him, with passion, want and need. He repaid the effort, his lips paving for my tongue which sought the taste of his mouth.He held dearly unto me as I ploughed his lips. I didn't care that we were being watched. All that I've missed for several months, I'm ready to have everything in a week.He was the one to let go first and I chuckled at him. His face broke into a recent smile also, my left palm tracing his cheek."You have no idea how happy I am to see you again."I said and held his hand, pulling him with me tow

The Next Day. Kafula.~Samantha Gasglow~"Yes. Get it done as quickly as possible."As soon as the caller acknowledged the call, I dropped the call and fixed the receiver into its place. I sighed and pushed the glasses down the rim of my nose. The doctor had warned me to start using glasses for preventive measures, since I always had my eyes glued to files and the PC."Where were we?"As I made to concentrate on my work, I heard the elevator ping ahead of my office. I couldn't say why the elevator sounded exceptionally loud this time.I looked up in the direction, to see whoever was there. I hadn't put a call through yet, neither was I expecting anyone. I need enough time to think about what to do with this asshat Dare."Who are these?"I pushed the glasses up again. The frames of the people now walking towards my office became quite conspicuous."What's thi

Cellmate
Kafula.~Dare Ofegu~"What are we doing here?"I argued, turning to her in the seat next to the driver's. She reached one of her fingers across, pressing it on my lips, in a hush. She leaned forward towards me and pressed her lips on mine, mine hardly paving because I was yet caught between the claws of confusion."Who's your queen?"She asked, looking me right in the eyes, after the kiss. Her face still close to mine in the position that could stir another kiss."You."I was sure she was, but I was trying to figure out what that had to do with the question I'd asked. She leaned forward and kissed me again. After the kiss, she turned to the door and opened. I made to open my door but she called,"Don't you dare."Her eyes bulging at the sockets. Woah! Like really?!I only put both my hands up in surrender as she slammed the door and hurried to my side of t

The New Bungalow. ~Dare Ofegu~ "Or should I call her? Put a call through to her?" I stared at the cold black screen of my phone like I was expecting a call or was going to give one. "It's been two days now and she hasn't called." I dropped the phone. "Why hasn't she called? If Anny is right, does it mean she hasn't decided yet what to make of me. A potential lover or kiss-fling." I ran my palms across my face, up my head, rumpling my hair. "I can't just sit back and watch potential opportunities slip off my hands. I think I've tried enough. I have. If she loves me, she would call. Maybe it's been one-sided all along." I grunted. I exhaled sharply, looking to my front as though I was seeing Jesus. Coming to a conclusion, I stood up suddenly and headed towards my room. I strode in, sort out a pair of clothes and shoes. I got dressed and walked out of

Yackety-yak
Somewhere in California. ~Anny~ "Is he even home?" I looked through the car of the window, gently pulling the car over at the front of the bungalow. I stepped out and punched the car locked. Twas the Rolls-Royce he had gone with for a day. He had returned it late yesterday and now I'm paying him a surprise visit at the new apartment. I walked towards the door of the building and used an extra key to open the door. It's either I creep on him or he returns home to find me naked in his sitting room. Or who knows, he might not even be living here. He might not have moved in. "The air feels stuffy." I muttered softly as I walked into the living room. I didn't see anything yet. Then I moved further towards the large sofa, I began to hear a wierd sound. I moved closer only to find a sleeping Dare. With his chest and face buried in the chair. I was tempted to look

Rivals
Kafula's Cafe. ~Ninny~ "Forgive me to wonder why you've called your rival to seat." She started as soon as she settled into the chair. I had called her to meet in the company's cafe since it's a work day, and I couldn't wait any longer. "Are you sure my mom doesn't know that you are here?" I dismissed her nuances. I knew she was trying to fuck with me. But she had no idea that I have it huge too. "I don't think I'm that sluggish. And by the way, Samantha is quite my enemy." She seemed to love play on words. I think I could use that too. "It's quite impressive the number of enemies my mom has made as a CEO and pioneer. Or does it have to do with Dare?" She chuckled softly. She's beautiful I must admit, but not as me! Duh! "Who doesn't love a big black cock?" And hell, she's nasty too. I decided to play the cards extravagantly, "It's now obvious why you're not the right pe

Enquiries
A Garden. ~Ninny~ "Should I say it's quite a wonder that you showed up today?" Haya teased. But I guess she probably already knew that the last thing on mind was having a joke to play upon. My mind was very far from it. I kept mute after the joke. We were both standing under a tree, my car was parked by the roadside quite the distance behind me. I had asked to meet her and she'd said she was sightseeing at some garden. And here we are. It has only been few minutes into meeting with her. We'd started off with petty talks and unnecessary gists. "I know you don't want to talk about what happened among you, Dare and your mom. And I won't push you." Haya added. I shut out the distraction of the small girl who was constantly running around a little Chihuahua. I bet the little girl has no idea what monster lives in every Chihuahua. "If I don't wanna talk about it, I wouldn't had called you earlier. I'm
