Saturday.
~Samantha's Hood~
"Let's stop here."
I halted, breathing heavily. The truth was we've been walking not running, but that wasn't relevant. It didn't seem to be.
"Are you tired already?"
Imara asked, holding that porous gaze.
"I'm not sure you know what fatigue is. I bet you can work all decades without stopping. Isn't that true?"
She tried shaking her head in disapproval. It seemed like I've thought her several things.
"If I'm not willing, I won't work. And no man in his right sense would have a bot work non-stop for several weeks. And come to think of it, can a man work non-stop from several weeks?"
"You seem to keep forgetting that you ain't a human. We are different. What if Samantha wants you to work for long without rest, or have you do what you don't want, would you turn her offer down?"
She whirred at me,
"With the quick analysis I've made of her, she i
Samantha's Hood.~Dare Ofegu~"Pick up please."I muttered, tottering down the lawn. My phone pressed to the lob of my ear."Please, Lara."I halted, turning to the side. Opposite me was a large building which looked like a chapel. There were still many places I haven't been to in the compound. That tells you how large it is.I'm certain that the land isn't an acre but in hectares. It's the disease of the eyes."Hey, Love."The voice came on. I guess she was no longer hiding it anymore. But for all I know, she's certain of her place with me."You were busy?"More of a query than a question."Just returned from the market. Arranging stuff. Didn't mean to ignore the call."I nodded as though she was with me. I headed towards the short stairs that led to the door of the building before me,"Lara, I'm in a tight corner. And I don't know what to do. But s
Oxford. Ninny's Duplex. ~Ninny~ "How's it going?" Haya called at me from the opposite couch. She wasn't reading from her Danielle Steele's today. She was leaning on the support of the couch, looking from her phone to me. My Laptop on the device that holds up PC's. I'd been told that putting a laptop on the bare lap could result to several conditions. If twas all about me, I could knock it off. I love taking chances. But for the sake of Ninny's mom, Samantha, she'd be as scared and worried as hell. My mom was an entire case on her own. A protective freak maybe. "Just the last chapter and bibliography left." I strayed off the thoughts. She came on, "The referencing stuff took me out during my own project." I nodded softly, "It could be very tiresome. I'm fancying the option of paying someone to do the referencing for me. I can't sit all day making sure I follow s
Samantha's Hood. ~Dare Ofegu~ "What in the hell..." I sat up immediately in bed. I had delayed waking up today, though it's a day of work, solely because I wanted to abuse the use of power vested on me by Samantha. She'd told me to come to work whenever I wanted, that I ain't like the rest who should report to work daily to make ends meet. But of course, my portion of work for the day must be well carried out even from home. She made sure to entrench that. "No way." I exclaimed, staring at my phone unbelievably. My jaws dropping. It isn't actually because of the text I'd just received, it's about it's content. I pushed down a lump, holding the phone consciously as though it's an egg that could splatter immediately it dropped. Twas a message from Ninny. And it read, HEY, HANDSOME. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? "Maybe she wanted to send it to someone else." I de
Samantha's Hood. ~Dare Ofegu~ "Dare!!!" There came a loud banging on my door. I was forced out of sleep and out of bed. The banging came again. Twas rather strange. All the doors in the house were not made of wood, nor corrugated iron. "Dare!!" The yell became louder. I could tell what effort whoever was there was putting to it. I hurried towards the door and halted at the front, "Who's there?" Was that even necessary? I knew whose voice that was. I'm sure I did. I opened the door, but I was pushed out of the way. As soon as I gained my stance, I turned to the person, having no luxury of time to close the door. "See what you did now? See what you've done." Her eyes red as those words dropped from her lips. She was pointing at her protruding belly. She was pregnant. I was going to run mad, by heaven. Does someone gets pregnant over night? Not only pregnant, but
Evening. ~Dare Ofegu~ "I thought you said she would come home today." There was no point holding back the argument any longer. She looked up from her tablet. Though it's reasonable and acceptable that we both have been waiting for the arrival of Ninny since morning. For her sake, we'd even shut out the urge of going steamy to the core. And because of that, Samantha had been nursing an infant grudge. It's been over a week after the nasty and disturbing dream. And today is the birthday of Ninny. Though I knew I should had discussed the dream with Lara to further support my point of the wierd feelings I've been having lately. But even when I put a call through to her, few days ago, she'd screened it. She'd probably thought I wanted to talk her into taking money again. "Sam?" I called. She was quick to spare an ogle, "We are all waiting!" She concentrated on the tablet again. I squeeze
Same.~Dare Ofegu~"Not you ma, I love your daughter."All I could say at this moment is that, I opened my mouth and words of their own accord had dribbled their way out. That was the message I intended to put across but that wasn't actually the way I wanted to do it. But I know too well that, I can do everything but take back the words. As Samantha raised her head from the tablet.Her face was calm, still washed by the glee from the party. I didn't ask her what she was doing alone in her room when a party was going on in the sitting room. All I could think of was heaving my heart off this suicidal burden."How's it going Dare? Spoken with Ninny yet? If she hasn't come to you, maybe go to her. I already told her that you were the brain behind the party. She might want to say a word or two to show her gratitude."She looked away from me again to the tablet. She was seated on a swan chair, the tabl
Unknown.~Dare Ofegu~"Where are you now?"There was concern in her voice. But I don't really see the point, even though I had little a choice, the cold chill of the night crashing against my bare skin wouldn't me. Might I remind you, I was in a short, and in the middle of nowhere. Precisely, still walking up the gloomy tarred road dedicated to Samantha's Hood. Twould take another few minutes to get to the main express road. But thank goodness, Anny called."Just walking. Haven't gotten to the express road yet?""Do you have a place to go?"I could hear some voices in the background. I take it that she's still in Samantha's sitting room."Not really. But I could hang around a bar or stuff or go to a night club. Wherever that'd keep me up till the morning.""Don't be silly. Give me three minutes. I'll be there. Just stand somewhere."She didn't give me a chance to argue. She'd hung t
Anny's Quarters. The Next Morning.~Dare Ofegu~"Oh... Lord."I turned in bed. That would be the ten thousandth time I had done that through the night. And twas morning already. Do not ask me, I didn't have a goodnight rest. I think I did have a couple thirty minutes sleep, but the rest, turning and rolling in bed.It got to a point at 2:43AM, I'd climbed down the stairs to the living room. I tried watching a TV series but I got bored. My mind wasn't there. I couldn't concentrate. Yet, I couldn't sort my thoughts. I wasn't sure what I wanted to arrive at.As blank as my mind, was as clouded. Many things to think about, nothing falling through.I snapped my finger as Anny had told me, after showing me to this bedroom. The light came on. I checked the time on my wrist watch. I didn't even take a night bath let alone change into the night gown. I found no need."6:54AM."Pretty early, I
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.
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
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
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
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
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
