Till Death Do Us Part- Episode 2
2
******************************* 3 WEEKS LATER ***********************************
3 extremely long & uncomfortable weeks later I can finally say, "Home Sweet Home". Spending the last 20 days, 3 hours and 102 seconds in Lagos, Nigeria has felt like a recurrent nightmare! But, money must be made, after all I decided to do the whole "independent woman" - "making my own money thing". Else, I would be seated on the 32nd floor of daddy's company signing papers and reviewing documents while making cool cash without all these stress.
As I step out of the airplane, still on the stairs, I pause, take a deep breath in and out. Yes, this is definitely sane environment. I stand there just taking it all in while considering going straight to the spa from the airport when this rude Lagosian intrudes into my thoughts;
Aunty, commot for road na! People dey rush abeg. You just dey here dey look. Mtshewww.
How absolutely uncouth! I made sure to pick the 24C seat to ensure that I'm among the last set of people to step out of the plane- there is something fulfilling about watching people. But trust a Lagosian to be in a hurry over nothing because what other people? The pilot? or air hostesses? I shake my head ruefully, determined not to even let anything or anyone affect my giddy mood because, babygirl is back to the Buj!!

*bing*
Hey girl, have you landed? We're celebrating this night right? (That wasn't a question. YOU ARE COMING OUT! Xoxo.
*typing a quick response*
Yes, I'm back and I NEED a break! Xoxo. I can always trust my best girl Ife for a fun time.
**********************************************************************************
Its been 10 long minutes and Ife is still "5 minutes out". I have no idea why I even believed that she had left her house in the first place. I have no one to blame but myself! Mtshewwww. She knows how much I hate wearing anything that isn't boots and now, not only am I putting on this absolutely ridiculously high stilettos, I'm also putting on a thigh length black dress (that is dragging unwanted stares) when i'd rather be with shorts!
Standing alone isn't really working well for me and all the unnecessary stares is tiresome. I start making my way back to the parking lot because, I'm not up for this stress anymore and then I hear someone call me. I pause for a while not bothering to turn back because, who knows me here? I continue walking and I hear my name, this time louder... that voice!
Jessica, wait up!! He shouts and I hear him quicken his steps to almost a mini jog.
There is only one person who calls me by my full name. I turn back and it's him... That freaking idiot has some nerve even uttering my name!
Stan, is there a reason you are screaming my name for the whole of Maitama to hear? I say more calmly than I feel while walking towards my car and shuffling things in my clutch to get the goddamn keys!
Jessica, I want to apologize for what happened I- I stop him before he continues to aggravate me.
You apologize?! Stan, you APOLOGIZE??!!! I lost single everything I worked for and you "apologize?!" I'm facing my car now and praying to God that I feel my keys soon.
At this point, I can feel my hands shaking, the tears welling up... You WILL NOT cry in front of this nincompoop, Jess! He didn't see you cry before, and he won't now. I felt something cold- the key!
Babe, are you okay? I've been searching everywhere for you, I thought you came to change your shoes. Omg it's him! Of all the places and all the times to see him! I have to see him now? when i'm a mess?!
Jeff! Hi, yes I came to change my shoes and- I stop speaking as I feel his hands on my waist and then a reassuring little squeeze. God, is there no end to my humiliation? He no doubts feels the tremors now...

You’re going to kill us with suspense aren’t you?
Where did Jeff come from?
And did I read Jeff say “Babe”? Abi my eye dey pain me ni?
How did he know to save her like that? Cos I’m guessing he sensed she needed a distraction then.
Sian was definitely that werey first client. I don’t like him already. But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt sha, I’ll wait till I hear the back story.
When’s the next coming please? 😭
This episode is too short oo! Plus You had better bribe me with a wet and slippery episode next cause aaaaaaah my ovaries!!
Jeff my greek god, the man in my dreams! Chai! I can already imagine Jeff's tight ass in that damn pant. Wait, what is he wearing? Please tell me he is in suit or a tight jean. Please God, whatever he is wearing needs to be tight and juicy/dripping oo cause amma kill someone!
Ife better be that no nonsense bestfriend cause if i get my hands on Stan, i will skin him alive. The nerve to even come close to my baby girl!
