TEMPTATIONS IV

Part I
Part II
Part III

Akpos rose, I rose.

With my fakest smile I said “hey Tessie”. She totally ignored me.

“I said what are you doing here? So this is the friend you’re “going out with”?”

“Tessie, can you stop shouting and sit down? Let’s talk about this.”

He was angry but it makes him cuter. The whole incident was becoming funny, albeit in an embarrassing way

“Don’t tell me what to do you idiot”

I glanced at Akpos and said “Did that bitch just call you an idiot?” (With my eyes)

“You know what? You’re a spoilt brat Tess and I am tired of putting up with your rude life and constant drama……………….

I came here to have dinner with a beautiful lady (I blushed) and to tell her she makes all the difference in my life”

Akpos took my hands and said “go home baby (what? Me? Baby?) I’ll call you”

Tessie let out a high pitched scream like a wounded cat and started shouting her head off

I looked at her and felt (fake) sorry for her. Now she was calling names and drawing attention. I picked my purse, walked around the table and kissed Akpos…………straight on the lips (he kissed me back). Then I walked out ………….this time, I remembered my practiced catwalk and side smile; not as if it mattered anyways……………………………………….I was walking on the moon.

*I don't know how to say this, I don't even know what to say.................my heart is heavy and everyday I cry......for those kids, for all the people on that plane, for the people the plane fell on their house(s), for the people that go to church on Sundays and can't make it back home, for the people whose lives are destroyed everyday. I cry for Nigeria.

JUST ANOTHER MONDAY

I hate Mondays. I hate waking up on Monday, getting ready for work, getting to work, having to do Friday’s left over work, checking out everything and mostly, I hate having to do the stressful Monday site checks. I’m not a lazy girl, I just prefer doing my job in comfortable places when its most convenient.

This Monday, I was bored. Yes, bored. Is that possible? Yes. My boss just went on leave and I was pulling my weight by sending the others to site with a stern warning to report everything to me. I was just beginning to get comfortable when I heard the fire alarm. I ran outside, everybody was there already then the Safety manager came and gave one speech about how they were checking/testing some fittings and we can go back to our offices. I hissed………………….almost everybody did.

I got back to my office and continued the scrabble game I was playing………………….I must win this one. I heard somebody shouting outside. I stood up to check it out but changed my mind and sat back down, maybe it’s just another person testing his voice. Dare opened my office door and peeked in (I take knocking seriously and I was about giving Dare another lecture on office etiquette)

“Lola, you still dey here?”

“Where I for dey?”

“You never hear?”

“the false alarm?”

“No”

He closed my door and left. Yeah, I have a thing for “aproko” and Dare is my feed. When he starts acting funny like this, it means he wants me to find out. I followed him. Everybody was gathered at the reception……………..starring at the screen of the TV. I couldn’t see past their heads so I just tapped one of my colleagues.

“wetin happen?”

“boko haram just bombed Aso rock”

DISCLAIMER: this is TOTALLY a work of fiction.
