I Lost

Darkness cloak me like a perfect glove

In secret only can I allow this burning love

To consume me in morbid fantasies

I stare and long, sadly I cannot express

This yearning tale in my heart

Few feet away we stand but ten thousand miles hearts apart

[Excerpt from Episode 15: Get out now! I don’t want to see you Muyiwa, get the hell out of my house.” She screamed and Muyiwa tried to protest but Anu pleaded with her eyes for him to leave.

His heart was beating fast in his chest as he ran out of the house.  What have I done? He thought to himself as he yanked the door of his car open and got in hurriedly. He turned the key in the ignition and sat down there for a moment as what had just happened played in his mind. He had left Halima’s house with rage and hate in his blood. He hated Damilola for all that she represented.

[Excerpt From Episode 14: He protested in a weak tone and she shut him up with a kiss as she placed his hand on her breast and squeezed lightly.

Muyiwa’s was at home with Halima about three days after his meeting with Damilola. Halima was over at his place and they were both watching the 7pm news when a knock sounded on the door and Halima went to get it. Muyiwa smiled to himself as he wondered how he had been so lucky to have such a wonderful woman. He smiled to himself and said a silent prayer of thanks to the Heavens for having helped him control the situation with Damilola.

[Excerpt from Episode 13: “This madness has gone on for too long, I would be a very bad friend if I let this nonsense go on. It is time I do something about it. I have watched you make a fool of yourself just because I felt you knew what you were doing but it’s apparent you don’t. Halima and I need to have a talk. She must not marry that pig, pregnancy or no pregnancy.”]

Anu hurried into the almost empty restaurant and sighted Halima right away. She was sitting at the far end of the restaurant with her back to the door and her dark head bent over her phone. Anu sighed resignedly with what she was about to do of telling Halima all about Damilola and Muyiwa’s affair. This is going to be a betrayal you know, a voice in her head said but she quickly shut it out. I am simply trying to save them from themselves, she chided herself silently.

[Excerpt from Episode 12: He stared at her with a rueful smile on his face before he said “I am getting married Dammy.” Her heart stopped in her chest and she suddenly felt hurt, the pearls suddenly felt like they were burning her skin and she took another look at his face. He was serious, there was no doubt to that and with a gasp she turned and fled the room.] To read Episdoe 12 CLICK HERE

Muyiwa caught her by the arm just as she was about to grab the door and jerked her back. She fell into him and he staggered a bit. His hold loosened and she tried to make another run for it but he was quicker than her and had her by the arm again. He turned her around to face him and she pounded at his chest angrily.

“Let me go damn it!” she said, pummeling his chest with her hands as the tears flowed from her eyes.

Muyiwa called her two days after the incident apologized for having lost control when he should have been more mature in handling the situation. He couldn’t see that animal treat her like garbage or hurt her anymore and he had had to react. She swallowed the tears that threatened to spill over as she replied shakily

Her old guy, dulled up He drank too many seven-up
What type of drink you want girl?
I'm VODKA  forever

Funny Pictures About Valentine That Will Make You Laugh

Valentine Special: Wuraola

Image Credit: Kerry Park

Wura from the black soil - a winsome fairness

Unspeckled skin – sacred to the spectacles

Rays recollected in a feminine silhouette

All eyes can’t but slumber in the stupor of admiration

Oh! Are the orbs of your oval face moulded from the soil of the sun?

Let your lamp of love lighten the labyrinth of my heart

Accept prithee my poetic platonic proposal...

Episode 11 - Now That You Are Here; A Tale of Deceit and Betrayal

[Excerpt from Episode 10: They were both on the roller coaster of pleasure when Gbade’s voice broke through the cloud of passion “Damilola…” his voice sounded like it came from a thousand miles away but it was enough cold water to dampen the hot fire. The two sprung apart as they faced Gbade standing there, a briefcase in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other]. To read episode 10 CLICK HERE

The two sprung apart as if their bodies were on fire. Muyiwa was the first to take control and he tried to maintain a bland expression as he stared at Gbade’s face which was contorted with rage. Damilola on the other hand bowed her head in shame and refused to meet Gbade’s gaze as for some few seconds they all stood in silence with Gbade’s eyes darting from one guilty person to the other. His reaction was so unexpected that it took all of them by surprise.

No, I Don't

Her heart was thumping against her chest so loudly she was surprised none of the bridesmaid or the other women around could hear the loud thumping. She looked at the faces of the people milling around her and swallowed resignedly, they didn’t understand her plight. None of them knew of her grief and she could not trust any of them well enough to bare her pain. Even if by chance any of them heard the thumping in her chest, they would probably mistake it as nervousness or excitement on her ‘big day.’ Who wouldn’t think that? It was after all her wedding and she was supposed to be the happiest woman in the world right then but she felt anything but that; far from it.

Question for the Day

If you were this guy, what will you do?

Love, Sex and Money

Love, don’t we all seek it? Sex, don’t we all crave it? Money, don’t we all want it? Everybody wants something, they got to have something but it all depends on what you are seeking for. Are you in a relationship for the love, the sex or the money? The trio of love, sex and money are three essential ingredients needed to make a relationship work because when one is missing, then you can expect nothing but doom for such a relationship.

Music Series: Don't Take My Man

The song ‘Joelene’ is by American country music artist Dolly Parton. It was released over 4 decades ago and is ranked at No. 219 on the Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” The song is about a woman imploring another woman not to take her man from her

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

As Dolly Parton’s voice crooned emotionally from the stereo in the car, Ada dashed at the tears that were flowing from her eyes, blinding her vision. She shouldn’t be crying; Andrew didn’t deserve her tears after all she didn’t love him or so she had convinced herself for the past nine months. Ada prided herself of always being in control of all her relationships and as she traveled down memory lane now, she realized that she had allowed herself to be a sucker and let ego get in the way of her emotions.

Question For The Day

You guys should answer this sincerely

Truth was she didn’t know exactly how she felt, who would have believed that the thought of Gbade would throw her into such a state of confusion.
