The Saga Continues....Let's see What Lola and Segun have been up to....

“Segun, please can you give me something to change into?” Segun went through his closet and pulled out a white tshirt and some navy blue shorts. “Here you go love, hope it’s okay?” Lola looked at the transparent white shirt and the very short shorts, she shivered from that bad feeling again. “Do you have any pajama pants or something?” Segun regretted not taking her home now, why was she being so difficult? “Baby, can you manage it please? I haven’t done my laundry yet.” What’s the big deal, it’s not like I haven't seen what underneath her cloths before, Segun thought to himself. “Ok fine, I’ll manage it.” Lola said while struggling to keep her tone down.

Segun took out a comforter from his linen closet and two pillows off of the bed and proceeded to the living room. “Lola, you can sleep on the bed.” Lola changed into the tshirt and shorts and ran underneath the covers. “Ok thank you, good night.” Segun was out of the room before she could finish her sentence.

Segun returned into the room about five minutes later to get his toothbrush, they’re eyes met instantly. Lola looked beautiful, she was flawless….no makeup…no accessories…Segun stood frozen in place. “Baby are you okay?” Lola asked with concern in her tone. They way that he was starring at her made her feel uneasy…especially since he was shirt-less and his chest seemed to sparkle from the distance.

“Yea…yea, I am…sorry, I just came in to get my toothbrush.” Segun quickly walked towards his dresser to locate his toothbrush as the tension between them rose in the room. “Thank you so much for everything, I had a blast…Segun you’re the best man that anyone can ask for.” Lola lifted herself off the bed and walked toward Segun, placing her arms around his neck. “I love you”…Lola whispered into his ear and then hugged him as if her life depended on it. Segun was motionless, he tried not to look down because he could see everything through Lola's tshirt and the shorts hugged her curves tightly.

“You’re welcome baby, I’ll do anything for you.” Segun said, he suddenly felt hot…very hot. Lola kissed him on the cheek and started to walk towards the bed, Segun grabbed her arm and kissed her lips gently…she responded with desperation…their tongues collided…and they escaped into their own world. “Oh no, this is not good….oh no, we need to stop!” Lola thought to herself, but it felt so good…"Just a few minutes and I'll pull away."

Before she knew it, Segun guided her to the bed and gently placed her on her back…their lips were still interlocked. “Father please forgive me, I didn’t plan this” Segun prayed to himself as Lola started stroking his chest. A gentle moan escaped from his lips and Lola smiled at the thought of making her man happy.

Before they knew it, it was 12:00 am and Lola and Segun were soaking with sweat from head to toe. They equally felt terrible. “Lola, I am so sorry. I promise this is not why I asked you to sleep over.” Lola wrapped herself with the bed sheet and ran to the bathroom. Tears streamed down her face, she felt filthy. “Oh Lord, I’m so sorry…I really am, I don’t know what got into me. Please forgive me!” She heard a knock on the door, “Lola…baby, are you okay?”
Lola wiped her tears and cleared her throat, “Yes, I’ll be out in a second.”

After crying for another ten minutes, Lola washed her face and took a quick shower. When she opened the door and saw Segun standing at the door, he looked confused…distressed…and hurt all at once. He hugged her and whispered in her ear “I’m sorry and I love you, it’s all my fault. Please don’t cry anymore.” Just then, tears began to drip down Lola’s cheek again, she couldn’t speak. She gently broke through Segun’s embrace and picked up the dress that she wore earlier, she went back into the bathroom and put it on. Segun just stood there helplessly, why wasn’t she talking to him? He felt just as bad!

“Can you take me home please?” Lola said with her face towards the ground. “Sure” Segun grabbed his keys and put on some flip flops, “You ready?” Lola dragged her feet and gathered all of her belongings, “Yes I am, thanks.”

Segun and Lola sat silently during the 30 minute drive to Lola’s place. Segun was upset and Lola just starred out of the window blankly. Segun pulled up in front of her apartment building, “Lola, I want to apologize again. We promised ourselves and God that we would never do it again and we messed up. But, he sees our hearts, he’ll forgive us as long as we ask him to.” Lola sat still as everything Segun was saying went through one ear and out the other. “Segun, I’m really tired, can we please talk about this later?” Segun starred at her as his anger boiled from deep with in, “Sure, what ever you say. Good night Lola.” Lola opened the car door and said “Good night Segun, thanks.”

Segun sped off before Lola made it to the entrance of her apartment building. “What is his problem?” Lola mumbled to herself as she walked into the building. Lola walked towards her door, searched for her keys in her purse and opened the door once she found them. She dragged herself to her bedroom and collapsed on her bed, tears began to flow without much effort.

Segun got home at 1:30am and walked with his head down. He felt stupid, why couldn’t he control himself? He was trying to live right but the sins of his past kept hauntin him, he was tried of struggling with this sex issue! He walked into his room and noticed that the sheets were still scattered all over the bed, he quickly turned around and went to lay on the couch. He couldn’t sleep in there tonight…”Lord, please forgive me” Segun whispered as a single tear crept down his cheek.


That's all for now...How will this little episode affect Lola and Segun's relationship??? Will they choose between their religious beliefs and their relationship??? Stay tuned!


Stay Blessed...

Hello ppl! I hope you all had a good wkend???

I was away from blogsville during the wkend and I came back today and boy oh boy has everyone being updating like crazy! Whoa...I spent hrs catching up!!!

Thanks for all your comments from the last post!...I'm still working on the "title-less" short story...I will add the next part in a few days :-).

Guess what ppl?!?!....I lost 7 pounds in one month!!! Yay...Wooohooo!!! It's such an amazing feeling...I feel lighter and my clothes fit better...ppl have been sayin that I look smaller also! I have about 20 more pounds to loose...so I gotta stay focused!

Well I attended my church's annual prayer retreat this wkend...O-M-Goodness!!! It was such an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G experience, I feel sooooo refreshed and at peace. The guest minister was Rev. George Adegboye, he preached about various topics such as: "Why Pray?"..."Self Examination"...and "The Purpose of Anointing" to name a few...and this guy is funny mehn! He had me cracking up!!! He just opened my eyes to different aspects of prayer and having a closer relationship with God. I just may share a few things on here...

So, my lil sis (let's call her Attitude, lol) and mom came down for the wkend to attend the retreat as well...and my otha sis (We'll call her Hyper) from bmore came as well...so it was like "a wkend get-a-way with the girls"....I picked momsie and Attitude up around 5 pm and then picked up Hyper around 5:30 pm...My aim was to actually leave for the retreat around 5:30 since it was about 2hrs away but i wanted to eat first since I was fasting for the whole day, etc...We ended up leaving around 7pm and got there at 9pm....we checked in..chilled a lil and went to the ballroom for the evening service.

It was nice but looonnnnngggg....After driving all day, I was extremely tired! It ended around 2 am...As soon as I got back to my room, sleep was on my mind! And then my lil sisters started talking and heating up food...mind u, I was fasting oooo....nonsense! Talking about temptation!!! We eventually fell asleep to the annoying tunes of my mom snoring....ugh! and then Hyper woke me up in the middle of the night while talking in her sleep...smh...

All the singles had to be in the ballroom at 7:30 am for a prayer meeting! So I barely slept...it was nice tho, very encouraging... saw SC briefly, but didn't get a chance to say hello...then I met up with bestie (B-fit) and we worked out for about an hr...so u can imagine that I was drained!!! (Plus I was still fasting!)

I slept for about 2 hrs after working out...woke up and broke my fast at 6pm..mmmmmmm boy was that food good! One of my church members catered and I was impressed! The next service was at 7:30pm and it contained holy communion...annointing...the Word...etc. I just love when the holy spirit takes control, the ambiance is so beautiful...had me falling to my knees and tears streaming down my face...I saw little kids being filled with the holy spirit and It was so touching!

Mind you thru out all the sessions...SC and I were sitting a row away from one another...he was sitting with some friends...while I was sitting with my fam...talk about awkward!!!! There was one time when the preacher asked us all to shake hands with ppl around us and congratulate them for what God has done, etc...and he was sitting directly behind me...I shook hands with the ppl around me and faced front, all of a sudden I felt a tap on my should, it was SC...he shook my hand and then grabbed me and hugged me.....in my head I was like "Okkkkkkk, what was that?" But I really didn't think much of it...everyone was extra happy.

All the while my mom was getting happy, smh...she's madly in love with that boy. She told my sis the otha day, that he's prob going thru a lot that he can not speak to anyone about and that's prob why he's pushing everyone around him away and that no matter what, he's still her son...WOW!

The last day of the retreat was on Sunday (yesterday) and we had a regular church service and SC and co sat in front of me...it was kinda annoying at this point! After the service, I tapped him to say bye and then he hugs me again! He asked if I drove and I told him yes...With a concerned look on his face, he said "How are you gonna do it?" (it snowed the whole day on saturday)...I shrugged my shoulders cuz I was thinking the same thing, I so wasn't looking forward to it! He now asked if I've cleaned my car off and I said no, he then said that he'll help me do it...WTH???? I just said okay...not thinking much of it, because we still had to check out, I just went to my room and gathered my belongings and headed out....all the while I was wondering how I would find him...

Lo and Behold, I'm walking towards my car and I see that SC has already cleaned all the snow off of my car :-) and when he looked up and saw me from a distance, he came to help me carry all the things that I had in my hand...I was just smiling to myself, it felt good to be taken care of...and my mom was just smiling from ear to ear...eyah she's in love! lol

He helped us load all our stuff and then he kept telling my sis to make sure that I drive carefully, etc...he didn't have a shovel so my tires were a lil stuck in some snow, one of our friends had a shovel tho so he got it from him and he began to dig like he was searching for gold! His nice shoes were wet and the bottom of his pants were soaked...It was funny cuz I wasn't phased by the whole thing...I was just ready to leave...but I was very grateful...so yea, SC doesn't seem to be going anywhere folks!!!

I'm just trusting God right now...we'll see what will happen soon sha. So yea that was my wkend, I feel so good right now and I thank God for how far he's brought me!

Oh yeah, I sent in one of my grad school applications today!!! Pray for me oooo....

Okay love you all...I really do...gotta go, I'm starving!!!

Hello Everyone! Hope the week has been going well for you all?? Well, I've been okay. The past few days have been a lil tough for me...I've been all over the place emotionally...but I'm grateful because every time I slip, God sweeps me off of my feet! I'm just trying to hang in there, I know what I have to do and that's to reconnect with the Lord...I think I got a little "comfortable" lately...feeling like I don't have to pray as much,etc.. smh....The Bible says to pray without ceasing!!!

I can't wait for the weekend...I'm going away for a prayer retreat that my church hosts every year and it's always a great way to start the year off, so I'm excited!!!

I changed my template!!!...In case you haven't noticed!...Soooo, do you like it???

I've been working on my applications for grad school...plz pray for me!!! Plus I got my GRE results and let's just say that I'll need God to perform a miracle ;-).

I want to thank everyone that has been following my short story and leaving comments, I really appreciate it...however, I'm starting to get scared ooo...this short story is turning into a long story...lol....I can't stop writing!!! But keep the comments coming! With that being said, plz enjoy the next part "A Night To Remember"...

The sound of her door bell snapped her out of her pity party. She wondered who it was, because she was not expecting anyone. “Who is it?” Lola asked as she saw a uniformed man through the pep hole. “Hello ma’am, I have a delivery for you.” Lola quickly opened the door, wondering who the delivery was from. As she signed for the package, a smile spread across her face, she saw Segun’s name on the beautiful box.

He had them deliver her favorite cake! Red velvet cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory….Mmmmm, she couldn’t wait to have a slice. The note read…”Something sweet for my sweetheart, don’t eat too much so that you can fit perfectly into the dress I sent you earlier! Can’t wait to see you tonight, btw you have an appointment at the spa at 2:00 pm…don’t miss it!...See at 5:00 baby"

“Yup, it’s official I messed up big time!” She picked up her phone and dialed Segun’s number, it went straight to voicemail again. “What is going on? His phone has been off since last night!” She called back ten times, but Segun’s phone kept going to voicemail. Lola couldn’t be upset, Segun was romantic so she figured it was apart of his plan. She ran to the restroom and got ready for her spa appointment. It was perfect timing, she could use a massage after sleeping on the couch all night.

It was 5:00 pm on the dot! Lola looked smashing in her little black dress and gold pumps. She also felt rejuvenated after being pampered at the spa. She got a manicure, pedicure, facial and deep tissue massage, Segun really out did him self. She was so anxious to see what else he had in store.

At 5:01 pm, her door bell rang. She ran to the door with her excitement growing with each step. “Whoooo is it?” She said in the sexiest voice that she could pull. “Good Evening Ms. Lola, I’m Bob you’re driver for the evening.” Lola was shocked, “Drive ke? Alrighty then!” She quickly opened the door, “I’ll be right with you Bob, let me just grab my purse.” She gathered her belongings and walked towards the car, the driver was holding the door open for her.

She stopped in her tracks and was speechless. “Wait, is this really happening to me?” The car was a Continental GT Bentley, her dream car. As she entered the car, Segun sat sharply dressed in a black pin-striped three piece suit and bow tie while holding a dozen white roses in his hand. She instantly fell into his arms and said “I love you so much Segun, I love you…I love you!!!” Segun returned Lola’s hug and said “I love you too sweetheart, these are for you.” Lola began to tear up, “All this is amazing, I’m so sorry about everything and I promise that I’ll change…it’s just that.” Segun stopped her midway through her speech, “Baby, it’s okay…the past is the past, let’s enjoy ourselves tonight.”

Lola smiled and quickly gave God thanks for such an amazing man. She didn’t want this moment to ever end. They sat and reminisced about the past two years and all that they’ve been through, they were both in a great mood. At 5:35 pm they arrive at their destination, “Baby we’re here!” Lola convinced herself that she was definitely dreaming now, the were in front of pier. “Segun, we’re going on a cruise?” Segun nodded his head, feeling really good. He loved Lola’s reaction to everything, considering the fact that he was going to cancel it all after their little misunderstanding the other day. “Yes honey, it’s a cruise of DC though, hope you don’t mind?”

“Are you kidding me?” Lola gushed with excitement, tonight was definitely going to be a good night for the both of them. They boarded the Spirit of Washington Cruise ship and sat at their assigned table. The décor was simple but elegant and the atmosphere was exhilarating. After everyone had boarded the ship, they were all welcomed and were given the safety precautions.

Afterwards Lola and Segun grab their drinks and proceeded to the deck to look at the sites as the ship cruised through DC. “Segun, I love you so much, thank you!” Lola whispered into his ear as they held each other tight. “Lola, you deserve this and a lot more. No need to thank me.” Dinner was served buffet style about 30 minutes later, Lola and Segun ate as they were entertained by the staff of the ship. The staff was equipped with singers, comedians, and dancers. Then to slow everything down, the DJ played some old school jams, Segun and Lola danced the night away.

At 10:00 pm the ship finally came to an halt, Lola and Segun were exhausted. They dragged their feet to their awaiting driver and slumped into their seats. “I had so much fun tonight baby.” Lola said as she laid her head on Segun’s chest. “So, did I love.”

The driver pulled up to Segun’s apartment about 30 minutes later, Lola had fallen asleep. “Baby, baby…wake up, we’re home.” Lola yawned, “Oh wow, I didn’t even know when I slept off…wait we’re in front of your place?”

“Yea, I intended to take you home afterwards but I’m too tired.” Lola sighed, “Segun, but there’s church in the morning, I’m singing in the choir and we have to be there by 8:00 am.” Segun thanked the driver and gave him a tip, “Thanks a lot Bob, have a good night.” Segun turned his attention back to Lola, “Baby, let’s just get some sleep…I’ll set my alarm and take you home very early in the morning.” Lola hesitated, she had a bad feeling about this. “Okay Segun, I’m sorry. You’re right.”

Okay o, that's all for now...Take care!

Hey everyone! Hope the week has been a good one for u all, mine has be aight!
Thank you all for commenting on the story thus far, I still can't believe that I'm writing a short story!!!! Like O-M-G....it's like totally Awesome...like seriously!!! LOL.

Anyway sha...sit back...relax...kick up your feet...grab a snack or a drink and enjoy the next part of the story!!!

As Lola was rolling over in laughter while watching “Jenifa”, tears started streaming down her face. She couldn’t stop laughing even though she’s seen the movie about 5 times!

All of a sudden she heard a knock on her door, “Who could that be at this time of the night?, ah ah it’s 11:30pm.” She proceeded to walk towards her front door and peeped through the pep hole but she couldn’t see a thing. “Who’s there? Hello…Who’s there?” All she heard was silence from the other side of the door, she hesitated but opened the door anyway.

There was no one at her door. “Wait was I hearing things?” Then she looked down, There was a dozen of pink roses, a huge bag of goodies, and a card at her door step. “What! Is this some kinda of trick or something.” She quickly grabbed the items and slammed the door, she suddenly felt uneasy.

She looked in the bag, there was a digital camera, a pair of gold pumps, and a sexy black dress. “Wow, this is lovely!” Then she proceeded to read the card while smiling from ear to ear, “Lola, I love you with all that I have within me. I know that I haven’t done too good with showing it lately, but you’re truly God sent. You’re the best woman that any man can ask for, You beautiful, intelligent, sexy, charming, God-fearing, and did I say sexy?!?! I love you now and forever more. Happy 2 year anniversary baby…May we celebrate many more years to come! Now let’s celebrate tomorrow evening, I’ll pick you at 5:00pm. Love Segun.”

Lola became overwhelmed with emotion, “I can NOT believe that I forgot our anniversary!!!” She felt terrible, She should have just accepted his invitation earlier. “Why am I so stubborn?” She thought to herself. She picked up her cell phone and dialed Segun’s number but it just went straight to voicemail. She tried a second, third, and fourth time but she just got his voicemail each time. Lola fell back onto the couch feeling ashamed and disappointed in herself as she stared into space.
********************
“Ain’t no party like a Lagos party…cause when Lagos parties we don’t bother nobody…we just throw our hands up…” Lola sprang up to the sound of her ring tone. She had fallen asleep on the couch and her back was aching.

“Hello…Hello” She answered the phone with sleep seeping through her voice. “Na wa ooo…thanks for calling to check how my date went! You’re such a great friend.” Shade said sarcastically. Lola removed her phone from her ear and checked the time, it read 12:00 pm. She couldn’t believe that she had slept for so long. “Omo no vex…I had a rough night mehn.” The memory of the previous night’s “surprise” clogged her mind.

“Eyah, pele. What’s up? Are you okay Lola boo?” Lola sat up on the couch and sighed, “Yea I’m fine jare…I kinda forgot Segun and I’s anniversary and I feel like crap!”
“What!!! You did? Oh wow, that’s terrible. You better fix that!” Lola just sat helplessly as Shade rambled on about her loosing Segun if she didn’t fix her attitude and how she needed to get it together. After what seemed like an hour of Shade’s monologue, Lola said “Anyhow sha, thank you…Sooo, How was your date with Mr. Matthew?”

Shade’s smile was obvious through the phone. “Girl it was awesome! O-M-G! I had so much fun!. He’s a great guy.” Lola smiled, she was so happy for Shade… Lord knows that she has had her fair share of heartbreaks. “Listen Lola, we’ll gist lata…Matthew’s calling!!!” Lola hung up the phone and returned to her self pity episode. “Oh Lord help me! I have to make this right, Segun is a good man!”

That's it for now! Be sure to come back!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

CIAO!

I would like to thank everyone that commented on my last post! Thanks I need all the feedback that I can get!

Hope everyone had a good weekend? Mine was nice...On Friday I went out to eat with a friend in the afternoon and then I went to church for a meeting in the evening, On Saturday I went to a house party, it was a surprise party for one of SC's friends. I was invited by another one of his friends...Urg, I can't get rid of this boy mehn! But his friends have became my friends over the years...so I decided to put everything aside and attend.

I knew that he would be there and I didn't want to go alone, so I asked my friends to come along. Let's call them B-fit(she's my besty!) and Hypershortie..lol. I couldn't decide on what to wear, I wanted to look hot but not over dressed. I finally settled for a sleeveless dress, tights, and some boots. Mehn, I looked sooooo good! We got there like 4 hours late and asked SC's friend that invited me to let my girls and I in.

As soon as I entered, SC's sister ran to me :-)! I love that girl mehn. I said hello to the bday celebrant and greeted those that I knew and saw SC from a distance. My friends and I proceeded to where the food was, while the others played games. SC was getting himself some food at the same time, He hugged B-fit first and then hugged Hypershortie and I at the same time, with a fake smile plastered on his face. You can tell that he was shocked to see me. I loved the feeling by the way, I felt like I was on top of the world! Throughout the night he couldn't stay still, you can tell that he was uncomfortable...I just smiled with my chin in the air. Yea...he def still has feelings for me. But oh well! no be my fault!

He left shortly (about an hr later) after I arrived and came up to me and said "Blessing, I'm leaving." I just nodded my head and returned his hug. Afterwards my friends and I enjoyed ourselves while gisting and touring the house. After the party Hypershortie asked if SC was okay because he hasn't been himself lately, I told her that I noticed it also. But what can I do? My sis said that I should ask him if he's okay since he calls me from time to time. It's a good idea, but I haven't decided if I'm going to yet.... It was a good night over all and I felt goooood! I went to church on Sunday and chilled for the rest of the day. I'll be seeing SC again tonight at church, Lord help me! It's not easy when you're trying to get over someone but you see him/her often :-/.

***Well I typed way more then I attend to!*** I would like to present to you the second part of my short story. Enjoy and please give me some feedback. Thanks a bunch!

Lola woke up the next morning to the sound of her annoyingly loud alarm clock. She turned her pounding head towards the clock and it read, 6:30 am. She contemplated hitting the snooze button but decided to drag herself into the shower instead.
“Thank God it’s Friday” she mumbled, as the warm water splashed against her skin. As she showered, she decided on what to wear, what she would eat for breakfast and what she’ll do during the weekend. Lola always liked to plan ahead, she always had a Plan A, B, and C.

As soon as she got out of the bathtub, she went back into her room and dropped down on her knees. “Heavenly Father, I thank you and glorify your holy name for protecting and guiding me through the night and for granting me the grace to see another day. Please send your guardian angels to surround me as I go around and about today and grant me peace throughout my day. In Jesus mighty name I pray! Amen.”

Feeling refreshed, Lola rose up to her feet and turned on her radio. As she listened to her favorite gospel artist Israel Houghton sing his heart out, she brushed her teeth, styled her hair, dab on some light make up and got dressed. Looking into the mirror, she sang “Only God made it possible!…I’m too fine eh.!”

While forgetting to eat breakfast, Lola skipped out of the door with a huge grin on her face. She felt like she was on top of the world! “Today’s gonna be a good day”, she shouted as she stepped out the door. “And that my supervisor better behave herself today o, I don’t have time for her wahala.”

Lola arrived at work at 7:30 am on the dot! “Yes! Right on time, thank you Lord.” She entered her office building, walked towards the elevator and waited patiently as she greeted fellow co-workers.

Work was going well so far, it wasn’t busy at all. Lola’s supervisor was surprisingly nice to everyone today. “She probably got some last night or something.” Lisa, Lola’s coworker whispered as they gisted on their lunch break. Almost choking on her food, Lola said “Lisa you are crazy! What ever it is, good for her.”

While working back to her cubicle, Lola felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. As she pulled it out of her pocket, Segun’s name ran across the screen. “What does this one want now?” She thought to herself as she took her seat. She proceeded to read his text message, “Hey, I miss you…let’s link up tonight.” Lola rolled her eyes and tossed her phone into her desk drawer, “Oh now he remembers that he has a girlfriend abi?”

At 4:30pm Lola gathered her belongings and practically ran out the door, she had to enjoy her weekend by force! She contemplated calling Segun, but decided to wait until she got home, “Shoot, I can’t be jumping every time he contacts me…after he ignored me for a whole day!”

After being stuck in traffic for an hour, Lola finally arrived at home. All of the plans that she made for the weekend while showering, had to be cancelled. Shade had dinner plans with her new boo Matthew, and Bola’s mom was visiting from Naija. She had no idea what to do now.

*Ring, Ring, Rinnnnnggggg*
“Hello Babe, What’s up nau? I texted you since.”

“Hey Segun, sorry I was busy.” Lola said while rolling her eyes. “Ok o, I’ve heard. So what do you wanna do tonight?” Segun really missed her and want to kiss and make up.

“Did you get my message the other day?” Lola asked while raising her voice.
“Yea I did, no vex I was upset at the moment.”
“Really? So you’re okay now and you wanna see me abi?” She said while her legs were shaking uncontrollably, she was livid.

“What’s your p nau? Babe relax, that was like 24 hours ago.” Segun said, as he exploded into laughter. They continued to argue for about ten minutes, until Lola had enough, she hung up the phone “Bang! I can’t take this anymore!” She yelled as she tossed herself unto her bed. She cried for another ten minutes, then she decided to brush it all off and getting something to eat. Tonight was gonna be a Naija movie night for her, it was Friday for God’s sake!


Hope you liked it? Have a blessed week!

Happy Saturday folks! Hope you all are enjoying the weekend? As for me, I'm just chillin, we'll be going out in the evening with some friends. Hope I'll have gist for you all...we shall see!

Oh yea, I saw one of the stalkers at church last night...I thought I got rid of him o..na lie! It was shorty A.K.A fun size, smh. I was gisting with some friends and he came over to say hi to everyone, then he just stood there...as in...he was mesmerized and couldn't move..lol. But seriously he just stood there trying to make small talk with everyone, it was sad...my friends and I were just eyeing each other and laughing...no game AT ALL...ode! Ok, that was kinda mean...God forgive me! Amen.

And then divorcee hit me up via facebook IM yesterday, I don't even know why I accepted him as a friend. The chat went something like this:

Him: Hi
Me:Hi
Him: How's the job search going?
Me: Good
Him: Any luck yet?
Me: Nope
Him: It's okay just keep having fun with Jesus (Ummm, was that suppose to be cute? NOT!!!)
Me: Yes o
Him: Sorry can I ask you a question please
Me: Sure you can
Him: How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: *rolling my eyes* I'm 24 and no I don't have a bf
Him: Do you really know me? (Yea you cheated on your wife, beat her and was intimidated cuz she made more money then you...so she left your behind! LOSER)
Me: Know you how?
Him: Blessing I really like you, I think you're very stupendious (WTH?) I wish that I could take you out so that we talk.
Me: I really have to go now, ttyl
******Signed off facebook with the speed of light*******

I think that I'm too nice...It's either that they don't get the point or their desperate!


Moving Along....without further ado, I would like to present to you all my the first part of a short story that I've been working on. I'm really excited about it because writing is truly a God given gift for me, it has always come easily and I wanna use it effectively. So here it goes...*fingers crossed*...*doing the sign of the cross*....Tell me what you think, plz be real! Thanks....oh yea, it's untitled at the moment.

“Hello….Helloooo, Segun? Oga o, this boy will not kill me!, he actually hung up on me?”

Lola marched through the downtown streets while plastering a phony smile on her face. “It’s the devil” she mumbled to herself. Why else would her boyfriend be upset because she was going to choir practice, after all it was a last minute thing.

“I have to call him back!” she shouted as if she was alone in the busy streets of DC.
“Hey baby, why aren’t you picking up? Look I’m sorry, I know that we were supposed to have dinner this week and this is the second time I’ve cancelled, I’ll make it up to you, love you.” Lola continued her trek to church, she needed to focus on something else. She already had a stressful day at work, it seemed like her boss chose today to pick on her!

Lola smiled as she saw her fellow choir member Terrance in the distance. “Terrance, Terrance! Wait up.” Lola put some pep in her step to catch up to Terrance. Terrance’s wide dimpled smile just brightened up her day!

“Sup stranger! Long time, how are you?” With a gentle hug, Terrance replied “I’ve been good, thank God. How are you? You look lovely today”.

“Aww, thanks! I’ve been okay, had a long day. I wonder what this emergency practice is all about!”.

Terrance and Lola continued their walk to choir practice, while gisting and laughing. Ten minutes later, they arrived at church and headed to the sanctuary. When they entered, they mixed and mingled with their fellow choir members.

After 2 long hours of choir practice, Lola was exhausted as her friend Ada drove her home. She switched on her phone, no missed call, no text messages, and no voicemails from Segun. She took a deep breathe and her thoughts drifted to her warm and cozy bed. She’ll have to deal with Segun and his attitude problem later.

“Ada, thank you so much for giving me a ride home, I couldn’t imagine taking the train. I’m too tired!”

“No problem Lola love, it was my pleasure. Get some rest and sleep tight.”

“I sure will! Good night, Ada.”

“Good night Lola babe!, see you soon”.

Hope you like it thus far...will post the next part soon. Enjoy your weekend ppl!

So I've been MIA for a while and decided to check out some of my favorite blogs today and lo and behold I discovered that I received an award about 5 days ago from the lovely Myne Whitman!!!! The lovely author of "A Heart to Mend", check her out if you haven't done so already .

So like my head is totally swollen oooo! I thought my blog was getting dry for a second, lol. But thanks Myne, you're the best!

Well the New Year has been good so far, I'm so expectant and excited...just trying to be productive at the same time!

So after that important talk with SC and the Christmas gift (got my BB!) and after him calling me last wk asking if I needed any money (since I'm not working) and him asking me to forward my resume to him (so that he can talk to someone about a job for me)...my heart has been yearning for him! As in, all the strength that I've built up over the past few mos seemed to be crashing down instantly!

And then all this love that's been drifting thru the air hasn't made it any easier...everyone's gettin engaged around me...it's insane! But I finally got it together and remembered that what will be will be and there's no need to look backwards...I got thinking and decided that I owed him an apology because I've been blaming him for the break up unconsciously and I needed to admit my role in it to heal completely. So I finally worked up the courage to do so...after thinking about him and wanting to drive to his apt, kidnap him, and force him to marry me in Vegas...lol!

So I sent him a text last night (around 10:30 pm)...saying how much I appreciate what he's done for me over the years and apologized for any pain that I've caused him, etc... And at 4:50 am, this morning I woke up to this text from him "Blessing...Thank u so much, those r the best words u ever said to me and I really appreciate them. We had lots of great times & I'm equally sad it ended like it did. You have a wonderful heart also but I just want you to know & love who you are and not change for anybody. You r a strong woman and can do anything u put ur mind to. I sincerely thank u for all u did, u will definitely be rewarded in due time. Stay blessed and smile a lot more, u look beautiful when u do :-)."

Awww....how sweet! So yes...I'm still in love with him...I still wish that I can turn back the hands of time and work things out with him...but I know much better, everything's gonna work out for my good and I'm waiting on God...I'm finally at peace with the whole situation and I'm ready to move on and fall in love again!

Oh gosh, Valentine's day is slowly but surely coming around! What's a girl to do? I haven't been Valentine-less in 5 yrs!!! hmmm....we shall see. Maybe I'll hang out with some friends or just chill at home....or maybe God will surprise me with a male companion ;-). Urg that reminds me...I've been getting a whole lot of UNWANTED ATTENTION!!! As in, these guys are irritating me. I have one that's almost 40, let's call him RED...can't speak English and is looking for a wife, he stalked me for some time and gave up after I ignored his calls, and he goes to my church!

Then there's shorty, who goes to my church also...he's so not my type...he's also cool with SC and tries to holla at me on the low and acts friendly when SC is around! He's very touchy and annoying, I've ignored some of his calls as well, and he winked at me the other day..ewwwwW!!!

Then there's yougin' I met him at work, while he was there as a temp and found out that he's a friend's younger bro...he started calling and texting me at weird hrs of the night, inviting me to go clubbing with him...Hold up! I'm a grown woman! Club ke?..smh

Then there's the divorced fella from work that just added me on fb and told me that I have nice pix, sent me his number in my inbox and told me to call him if I wanna talk....lol, yea right!

And then a 19 yr old that goes to my church, he texted me on New Yrs and ended it by saying "I love you, I really do!" Oga ooo....Plz i'm not a child molester!

So yea, I need a egilble hottie to rescue me from this maddness!

Ok, I've rammbled enuf.....gotta go, will return soon!
