~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
Before a bar.~Dare Ofegu~"Happens that the owner of an apple car has nothing anymore."She scorned, stepping out of the car. Goodness knew from where she got the car."Like you worked for the one you're riding."I sneered as I got the door of the car and stepped in. It's the Russian lady. I decided to call her instead of going to Anny's place. I feel a little bit awkward going back to Anny's."I take it that you want me to throw you out right away."She threatened, her fingers on the key below the wheel."I'll give you today."I admitted as she ignited the motion and pulled into the road."Good for you."She turned on the music. I wasn't taking that again. I turned the music down. She glared at me and turned it up again.I waited for few seconds, then made to fiddle with it. She pressed her palm to the back of my hand,"What kinda death wis
The Next Morning.~Dare Ofegu~"Where's she?"I stepped into the five star restaurant, scanning the breadth of the space. I wasn't sure in what direction to look. I should call her and ask where she was seated, but she didn't call earlier. She texted. But I didn't want to text. Other than the 'ok', I'd replied her, CAN WE MEET AT THIS ADDRESS, with."Looking for Samantha?"A voice came from behind me. I turned. Twas some random guy. No! The Spanish guy from Kafula. The update guy. Can't even remember his name."You."I wanted to lunge at him. I couldn't place the reason for that though, but I felt like he more than deserved it. But then I came to the realization that there was no point. I don't need Samantha anymore."Follow me."He turned, with a feigned smile and edged towards the end of the space, I trailing his frame.He took a turn towards an elevator and step
Later the day. 8PM. At a Bar.~Dare Ofegu~"Don't even make the mistake."I tilted my head slightly in the direction of the thick blonde who'd been checking me out all this while.I looked up and slurped from the glass of whiskey. Twas something I could gulp at a throw but I didn't want to.After I left Samantha since morning, I had returned to Cleaver's Ave. I had waited outside the gate for a while waiting probably Maria would show up all of a sudden. Even though I knew that the possibility was hundred to one.But unfortunately, I'd been caught by one of the patrolling cops who had warned me sternly never to return there unless things were sorted out, else I'd have a vacation behind bars. HIS WORDS.I looked in the direction of the lady again. She was still staring, occasionally moving to the groove of the music. I was seated at the counter.I recalled what the Russian l
On a Sunday. Anny's.~Dare Ofegu~"How can you even be sure?"She rolled her eyes at me. I had no idea what was going on in that mind of hers, with her legs stretched across the floor, placed on the table. She probably thinks of me as a friend she could be very free with, being around. Or she's just carefree by nature. Majority of them were always. Perhaps except Ninny."Does that even matter to you? You think you know all don't you?"She chuckled. Her face folded into a beautiful smile. For a moment, I considered her closely, a scrutinized gaze. I couldn't believe that I haven't noticed how really beautiful she was.The outline of her face was close to perfect, coupled with her lovely smile. Her button nose created a great impression on the full lips. I guess I was thinking too much. But truth be told, she's quite the beauty."Are you even listening?"I he
At a garden park. ~Ninny~ "I don't have to ask how you're doing. You seem well." I started, seated on a long armed-bench with him. For some reasons not specific, we'd kept a distance between each on the bench. He took me in his gaze. His eyes tender, but chin tough. Couldn't be sure what meaning to make of that. "You seem fine too. I'm glad." Those words were without friction. I nodded. There was a brief silence between us. But twasn't awkward. I could see his lips making an attempt to move, "About that n--" "You might be wondering why I called you." I had snatched the stance from him. He gave in, pushing his head down in sequence, thoughtfully. "I just want to hear from you. " "What did you mom say?" He was quick to ask. "It doesn't matter what she said. I want to hear from you. I know you've known that all this tim
Kafula. ~Samantha~ "Come in." The legal representative strode in and I waved him to a sit. As soon as he settled down, "Thanks for coming as soon as possible. It's long due." He smiled, "It's an honor to be a choice to the owner of Kafula. There's nothing to make up for that." Though I didn't fully grasp his insinuation of the last sentence, but I wasn't sure if twas worth dwelling upon. "Do you care for anything?" He shook his head, his signature smile, "Pretty cool. Let's get to business." I pushed my head down softly. "You might have heard. About my boyfriend who went rogue recently." He nodded, "News travel quickly." I leaned forward in the chair, arms tucked into each other, then placed on the table. "I want him back at all cost, or make life a living hell for him." He smiled again. But then, his bro
Kafula.~Samantha Gasglow~"Report to my office immediately."After speaking into the transmitter, I dropped it on the table. I hate to give up. I hate to knuckle under the fact that Dare eventually escaped the fog of my wrath. No one had ever, and no one would ever. Not even Dare.But one thing I've come to realize is the fact that, if I really do have and want to get what I want, then I mustn't trust it to someone else. I must go for it myself."Fucking law firms stuck to legal shits."I grunted as I looked up and saw the bot doing the robotic moves towards my office."Let's hope you can help."I muttered and quickly went over the files on my PC again. I entered the last signature and closed the software, point in time she stepped in. I asked,"Can you track Dare down, at the moment?"She strode in and stood before me, behind the chair opposite mine. I, leaning back i
