By the time Folusho knocked on the door and Dolapo opened for her to come in, she was already fully dressed. She had her bag all set to step out. She was excited to see her friend but she couldn't hide her worry; she could not afford to be played, again. "Not even a hug?" Folusho said as she walked past her friend to sit on the bed. "I'm sorry Flo. You know I'm excited to see you... There's just so much on my mind right now" Dolapo moved to where her best friend was and gave her a hug. Folusho hugged her back and wondered what the matter was. "Thanks for coming. We'll be leaving this Abuja together oh... I hope you know that already" She was more relaxed now. Maybe all she actually needed was a hug, she thought to herself. Folusho who had tried to form serious face for about two minutes just burst into laughter. "You and who? No be only you waka come? See ehn, my mind is no longer in this Abuja oh. If not because yo...

Mrs. Martins was one of the major professional caterers in the city of Abuja. She had serious connections with the top government officials, and truth be told, she was living the life. There wasn't much to be told about her family - her kids and husband, as she kept her family issues as private as possible. She took her job personal, especially since she didn't just stumble on the business but actually trained as a Nutrionist, home and abroad. Carving a niche in the catering business was no small job. Like she would say, " you have to be smart, presentation is key but most importantly, never let an opportunity slip away; do all you can with what you have to get what you want". Tami had just finished with her make-up and headgear. She always had a function to either attend or cater for every weekend and she knew too well than to dress anyhow to these occasions. She had fished Tami out from her numerous visits to make-up studios in Abuja. Tami knew the perfect look...

The aroma was irresistible. It was as though she had never perceived chicken in her life. Dolapo changed into a pair of shorts, packed her hair in a bun and hurried out of the room to meet Jay who was busy in the kitchen. She caught him unawares by holding his waist as he served what looked to her like white rice and lots of vegetables with chicken, but she was certain it wasn't just white rice and lots of vegetables . "Hey you" Jay turned gently to give her a peck and continued dishing. "Let me help" Dolapo took two glass cups from the stand and wanted to collect the plates from Jay but he wouldn't have any of that. "You're the guest babe. It's your first time here and you deserve a royal treatment" Jay paused for a moment with the dressing of the food, led Dolapo to the dining room and drew a chair out for her to sit. "I'd be right back" This was good, Dolapo thought to herself. She was loving this weekend ...

I must start this episode with a huge apology from me, myself and I for being away for a month or so. I can't begin to explain how sorry I am and how swamped I've been with Life. I'm sorry lovelies. Being Human continues. Do enjoy the read. Thank you. *Faith -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They hugged as though they hadn't seen each other for a year. The hug seemed to have lasted forever. Jay held his babe tighter and planted light kisses on her forehead, nose and lips. It was too much PDA for Dolapo on a normal day but this wasn't a normal day. They had not seen for 3 whole months; yes - 3 months. " I missed you like crazy, didn't realize it was this bad " Dolap blushed and covered her face as she was now conscious of Jay's public display of affection . " Missed you too girl... Welcome to Abuja ", Jay helped her with her cute travel bag and walked...

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 ...
