Being Human (4)

Image
Elizabeth Kachi, a front desk officer at Horizon Group of Companies Ltd was everything but cool, calm and collected. She was always everywhere asides from her duty post - the front desk. No doubt, she was a very jovial person, had a good sense of humour and you could count on her to figure out the bright side of every situation, no matter how tensed the office got. Sometimes, Dolapo wondered how she got the job of the front desk officer; she was just all over the place. That attribute alone made Dolapo keep her distance from her, but hard as she tried, Lizzy forced herself to becoming friends with Dolapo. She pinged her everytime, to gossip about what the latest gist in the office was - even during working hours. Once in a while, she would come visiting Dolapo in her house; not by invitation, of course. Dolapo had tried to no avail to keep her distance but Lizzy wasn't the type to be put off by snobish attitudes . That was one good attribute she had. Dolapo had gotten a bi...

"Exactly my point... Most times, it's just undue punishment we let ourselves go through. The world will be a better place to live in if we simplified our lives. That's the principle I live by anyway...." Dolapo found Febi's views interesting. She had seized the opportunity to go chat up the smiling lady who looked like she had it all going for her during the short break they had in the programme. Febi was a really pleasant lady and of course, she liked to talk. It wasn't hard for Dolapo to figure that out as she actually initiated the chat, picking up from where Dolapo stopped with her comment on Long distance relationships . In no time, they had exchanged phone numbers and Dolapo knew this was going to be some interesting friendship. She was ready for whatever this friendship was going to offer, especially because she needed to find out how to make Jay more committed to their relationship and just propose already. As the thought crossed her mind, she ...

Jay checked his wristwatch a second time. He tried not to call Dolapo a third time, he was beginning to lose his patience. For Pete's sake, the eatery where they usually had lunch was closer to Dolapo's office and farther from his. He knew it was her boss that was always standing in the way. Sometimes, he tried to figure out how Dolapo had been coping with the woman for 11months before he met her and how she still copes. He had not been a fan of the woman, ever since Dolapo told him about her 'excessive workaholic tendencies' and how she expects every member of staff to bury themselves into work like she does. Jay sometimes wished he could get Dolapo a job elsewhere but it seemed Dolapo herself was enjoying the stress that came with her job. "Jay, i'm so sorry... so so sorry. I had to finish up some urgent documentations, and boss won't let me go on lunch break without completing them..." Dolapo said, trying to catch her breath. She had flown ...

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the Faith’s imagination and (actual places) are used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. ... Faith Tunde-Yara  It was 6.52 am. Dolapo snoozed her alarm one more time. She was still so tired. She had an extremely long Sunday and honestly wished she could stay in bed longer than usual. She managed to wake up from the beautiful dream she was having; Jay was about proposing in the dream, then her boss had walked into the office and somehow, Jay couldn't go on with the proposal with that look on his girlfriend's boss' face. Proposal was ruined, as a matter of fact, every other person had gone back to their various tables to go on with their jobs after s...

Okay… So, I told myself a long time ago that I wasn’t going to do this but here I am, doing the exact thing I said I wouldn’t do (*covers face*). When I’m done, I hope you will see reasons with me as to why I have decided to this.   Let me not bore you with too many stories about who or what Sax & Sweeties   stands for. Today, it’s all about the brain behind Sax & Sweeties and all I want to do with this blog post is to celebrate this rare gem. He’s obviously (from the pictures) a talented musician; a saxophonist and keyboardist; my very own ‘6’ , and my co-writer on the butterflies series.

Thanks again. Do enjoy the read and please, let me know what you think via your comments. ****************************************************************************** It had not been a smooth journey. She could attest to that but there was no going back on this beautiful new journey she was now on. All of a sudden, life had a new meaning, everything was worth it in the end; there was a joy that radiated on her that she couldn’t even hide; it was magical – this was magical… *** “Funmi… Funmi…” Tofunmi’s mother couldn’t help but laugh out. She had not seen her daughter glow like this in a long time. She remembered the last time she saw this innocent, happy; no, joyful look on her daughter’s face. It was on her first trip to trans-amusement park . She and her husband ha...
