Time to Time

Gyan: I have no problem with my girl talking to herself from time to time. But it gets​ scary when we are in the room and all of a sudden she bursts out; talking to herself. I'm just curious on how your reaction would be like if you are in a room with someone and they keep talking aloud but to themselves. An extreme case scenario is when she keeps talking to herself for five minutes non-stop. Ignoring any comments I make on the subject she's talking about. She acts as if she is in a trance, ignoring me totally, but the funny part is, she is able to reply a message whenever one pops up during such moments. Usually I don't really care if someone talks to themselves occasionally. Cause the ones I have been experiencing are mostly undertone and self-related, and do not require any external opinions​, which is very unlike hers. Hers is loud, irritating if you're​ busy doing something important and it sounds more like an enquiry which demands a response. I'm propelled to reply and then after she ignores me, I realise I'm not the one she's talking to. I think an example will help, let's say she is watching a movie and someone she knows pops up, she would burst out saying; "Isn't this Angelina Jolie?, It looks like her, I think I have watched her acting a similar role in a different movie but I have forgotten the title". Wouldn't you have responded if you were in the same room with her?. Now you see I'm not just nagging.

While Waiting

Flipper: She just walked out on me. And now I'm all alone in her room waiting on her to return. It's been 1hour 17minutes now and she still isn't back. On a normal day, I would get pissed and leave cause I wouldn't understand why she would leave without saying a word and expect me to be waiting for her when she returns. I use to think that it usually wasn't her fault and that she tries her best to hurry back as soon as she is done with whatever she goes out to do. Until I met her outside one time, just standing there doing nothing while I was inside waiting for her. For a moment, I thought she was waiting on someone so I was waiting to see whom it was. Until I realised, she loses track of time unconsciously. She doesn't notice how long she keeps you waiting unless she is the one waiting. She just stood there doing nothing, then the moment she saw me coming she knew from my facial expression that I had waited for her for quite a while. Yet her facial expression didn't look remorseful. It looked like, "where is he going looking all angry as if I owe him an apology?" kind of face. She then asked if I am leaving and I reply yes and she said okay. The kind of okay that makes you feel as if you are the one with the problem. I guess you don't share my pain. It's alright then. Thanks for reading.

Just Don't

I am experiencing those kind of moments where you have a lot to say but putting it into words is the problem. Whereby I don't want to sink myself into the whole situation or else I may end up weeping an unworthy weeping. Yet I want to deal with the situation once and for all to get it out of my system. But then I realise the person I'm pouring my heart to keeps on laughing from time to time. I ask why they are not acting concerned and they reply that it's because of the way I'm conveying the message. I inquire about how exactly I'm conveying the message and they say I just don't sound like what I'm saying is actually serious and it's like I'm making it all up to cover up the actual story. And they conclude by saying that, if I don't wanna share is fine but I shouldn't make it look as if they are not ready to listen or they are not taking me serious. So then I say it's okay to cut everything short and forget about everything until I'm all by myself again, on my bed and trying to sleep. Then the feeling revisits me. It suspends my sleep and takes hold of my mind, which makes me wanna scream out the pain. But the pain clots in my heart, making it uneasy to lie down on my belly. And then I realise the essence of people having a dairy. But that isn't just my thing. For me, I suck it all in until the day it burst out. By then, I would have lost my reason of caring. Then I wouldn't care of the outcome.

Both Ways

Chiesa: I love that my girlfriend tells me she needs closure sometimes. It makes me feel wanted, which is a very good feeling; I tell you. Cause if it's mostly one way then I would be thinking; I am the problem. But now, I don't have to stress myself over that anymore. At least, she should be the one doing the tickling and harassing every once in a while to spice things up a little. It shouldn't be always me trying to get her in the mood. The only situation is that she doesn't really like me touching her when she isn't in the mood. In fact, she doesn't like touching in general. I used the word, situation, cause it's not a problem. Anyways, enough about whatever I'm talking about. I wonder how I even brought this topic up. I guess its one of those things. Later then!.

Sick

Lysa: I have no other​ alternative but to fall sick just to get his attention. I know this sounds very lame but that's the only option I've tried so far, that actually got him close to me all day. I want to have that experience with him again, and falling sick is the only way I can think of. I did try other options by getting him the continuation of his favourite series; Killing Eve. But that only got him around me for 35minutes tops and that wasn't enough. I've also tried being pissed with him like a thousand times for no reason; pestering him, "we need to talk". He came over so quickly the last time; I didn't have anything saying, cause I hadn't planned out what to say. The other time too, he outstretched the "we need to talk" period; before I knew it, we were talking again. I've also tried buying us tickets for stage play shows and cinema movies as well, but I'm mostly broke. The one time, I remember buying us tickets, he was sleepy all night; which slowed down the night for me. On numerous occasions, I've told him my troubles, shortcomings, issues, hindrances, secrets and many more to get him all up in my business but he hardly shares his, and he's mostly busy doing one thing or the other. As you can see, I have thought this through and I'm planning of falling sick this weekend. I would just have to hope that he is not tied down with his schedule and that I would be able to tell him to come over with a movie so we watch together. After all, he is travelling for a whole month next weekend and this would be one memory I decide to clinge unto and make the most out of. You can call it an obsession or craziness or whatever, I would still do it anyway. So keep your thoughts to yourself. #Smiles

Crazy Charley III

Ortega:  I just missed Melissa's call again. I've decided to go get a pack of condom from a pharmacy, which is just opposite her hostel. I am on my way now. I think I just bypassed Kofi; the guy Candy was talking about. He is wearing boxers and singlet, I mean, who does that?. And he is headed towards Melissa's room. All of a sudden, my immune system has frozen​. It feels more like a heartbreak. Unconsciously, I called Melissa, I told her that I am in her hostel now and that the uber driver delayed. I'm watching him knock on the door from a distance. Candy opens the door; she is also wearing a super short silky slightly transparent purple nightgown. The look on her face shows she is highly impressed how quickly Kofi came over. I think she has seen me. And she is saying something like; Melissa, your boy is coming with his jeans and cardigan. What was he thinking?. (And they all burst out laughing). "I beg, let him be", Melissa responded. That boosted my moral, cause my intestines were pulling me to turn around and leave. Candy: "Kofi, you can join I and Jones, cause the way I am on heat, I'm pretty sure one person wouldn't be enough. So I would be in the middle of both of you. Feel free to hold and touch wherever you desire, but no intromission". Ortega: That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. They have already watched the first scene, which was 45mimutes non-stop. So Melissa is in pretty good shape and I am yet to get heated up. But she is all over me already and that really feels good; with her perfume and body texture. I have taken off my jeans and top, positioned myself properly and I think I am all set now. As you can see, I have to go, Bye.

Crazy Charley II

Ortega: This is the second time Melissa is calling my line. But I haven't gotten my words right so I cannot pick up. If I pick up and tell her I'm here already, I would look very desperate, and I have too much ego to allow that happen. I can hear sounds from her room, lemme get closer once again. Melissa's room: "Rita speaking; "Ortega isn't picking up?. I told you there was something wrong with the way you conveyed the message. And that guy has too much ego that he may decide to come, yet come late so that he wouldn't look desperate, as most guys wouldn't mind coming straight away." Candy speaking; "I don't know why you are stressing over this boy, Melissa. Kofi, is just right on the top floor, call him. You know he has a thing for you, and stop waiting for this Ortega guy, whose slowing down our movements here". Melissa speaking; "Lemme try his number one last time". (I quickly switched my call waiting mode off, then I called Irene.) Ortega: Hello Irene, do you think it's necessary to take a condom if a girl calls you to come watch a porn collection with her roommates and their guys present?. Irene: "You always call to get tips for your ladies. I'm not a lady as well right?. #Anor bore!. Copy a scene on a pendrive, we'll also watch together some other time. Back to the question; take a condom, it would make her know you came prepared. Even if you don't take one, she has one ready for you from the guys present. Just take one, else you would look like a slow guy". Ortega: Immediately, I switched airplane mood on and off, just to prevent me from replying Irene, cause I had no reply for her. Melissa is calling back again, got to go, bye.

Crazy Charley I

Ortega: Charley, Melissa just called that she has got a whole collection of porn, so I should come let's watch. I'm​ a little confused right now cause it sounds too good to be true, even though, I'm dying to go. It's like my shadow has taken the lead; leaving my body behind. Everything within me; including my spine is pushing me to go and stop wasting time. But hold on, what if it's a trap?. Okay, I can go over and pretend as if I was already coming for the earpiece I left with her last week, just to see if she ain't messing around with me. Besides, I wouldn't even know how to tell my study group peeps about what I'm off to do, and I'm used to telling them the truth. That isn't really my problem now. My problem is that, I didn't bring a penny to group study meeting today. If I borrow and take uber all the way to her hostel and it's just one of those things, I would definitely be pissed. I'm sure you get what I mean, when I say, "one of those things". If not, figure it out then!. Why do I always have to spoon feed you with information that are obvious to tell?. Anyways, what was I saying?. Errmmm, as we're speaking now I'm almost at her door though. Oh!, so you were thinking I was waiting for your opinion on this matter?. Nope, I wasn't. Because, you're a boy and I'm a boy, so obviously our thinking would be the same. Lemme call Irene and get a lady's view on this matter. It's not too late to turn around and go back to my hostel, since I haven't knocked on her door yet. Wait a minute!, another guy just bypassed me to knock on her door. Her roommate opened and he entered. The lights are off, and it looks as if there is a projected video on the wall. Let me go closer!. I can hear sounds but it's not very audible. It's just a woman moaning; sounds more like porn. Okay, she's calling my number. Got to go, bye.

Betweener

Spike: Become close friends before lovers. Austin: What if you have nothing to talk about cause she already has a guy she talks to?. Spike: I don't really get the question. Austin: I mean, she mostly finds it easier talking to someone else either than me. Spike:  Meaning, it's not that she doesn't communicate, she does, but someone else is always the first person to know?. Austin: Not exactly so, but you can put it that way. Spike: Please put it in the exact context it looks like. Austin: Have you ever had a heart break?. Spike: No Please!. Austin: Then you wouldn't understand. Kindly answer the question in the way you understood it, I would be able to relate perfectly. Spike: Can you confidently say that you've actually fallen in love?. Austin: No please!. Spike: That was an obvious answer per your attitude. So, do you listen when she talks to you?. If yes, do you help her out when required of you?. Austin: Please, is that a prerequisite, before someone decides to communicate with you?. Anyways, lemme give you an example to clarify the question. For example: "Hello, I'm very fine. I will be going to the library, after which I may visit a friend. I also have a meeting in Athens evening. In case of any updates, I will let you know though". Spike: Oh okay!, So then give me an example of her usual replies. Austin: Hello, I'm fine. Nothing Much. Spike: Tell her to give details then. Austin: "Will you pay me?", She replies.

Instead

Jake: Charley, I don't really have a problem. I would make any sacrifice just for her sake, if only it wouldn't be beyond my capability. Notwithstanding the fact that, a lot of things she asks for are beyond my capability; I would still give it a try anyway. Sometimes, I laugh at all the dump things I've done in the name of love. None of them went to waste; truth be told. She gave me back so much love I could ever wish for. So much that, she sometimes came over just to cheer me up; imagine that. Other times, she would come over cause she was bored. Whatever the reason was for her coming over, it all worked together for my good. The only times she never came over, were the times I would pester her to come. I mean, who would want to come?. Now we are world's apart and I miss her everyday. I would not let her know though, cause what difference would it make?. She would only credit herself at the end of the day and I have too much ego to contain that. I would keep my mouth shut even if it kills me. I know the feeling would eventually die out with time. On a more serious note, I do miss her a lot. And I think I have to give her a call and see how things go. I may take a bus to go see her, depending on how things play out. She's really unpredictable when it comes to things like these. I think I'm getting my hopes up too much, which makes the chances of me getting my heartbroken very high.

Besides

Gerardo: So I bought a pack of condom today. Oh okay, I know that judgemental look. I guess you went ahead to draw up your conclusion without hearing out the whole story. Its alright though, I'm not telling you why I bought it. Whatever you thought was the reason why is true, we shall meet in heaven. Laugh out loud!. At least, try and fake a smile before you continue reading; help a brother out. Oh okay!, I guess you have no sense of humour at the moment. Anyways, I entered this pharmacy shop to visit a new friend. She does her part time job there; which is a couple of metres from my hostel. She always complains of seeing me pass by, but I never enter. I did tell her its because I've been very healthy by Grace. Nevertheless, I decided to dedicate 10minutes of my time for her cause the way I was hungry, I was sure if I waited 2hours more I would have collapsed, and she would have thought I was sick. I sat down and we begun our usual chat pattern which is none of your business. 10minutes was up eventually, I stood up to leave and she was like;" so won't you buy anything?". I guess you can tell the rest of the story, since that is your speciality. In any case, I laughed and replied that, what could I possibly buy from a pharmacy; besides I came to visit. Jokingly, I said, okay, give me a pack of condom, just to see how she would react. To my surprise, she only smiled, walked straight to the back and came out with one. The look on her face said, "Oh so that is why you came after all". I said I was only joking but this girl wouldn't listen. She started giving me lectures of why it is important I should have one as a boy. And that I should always keep it in my wallet. I said, I don't even like walking around with my wallet. She said, now you have a reason to.

HoneyMoon

Akua: This is the period where couples get to know whom they actually married. Being it sexually, financially, spiritually, academically, among others. Think about this carefully; at this point, there is no holding back and there is nothing to lose either, so definitely the couple wouldn't need to keep up with any impressions. Also, all kinds of secrets are revealed as well, especially from ex's or rivals. Which wouldn't be 100% true but it would still get the other partner thinking; depending on the caliber of message being conveyed across. Truth be told, couples get a clearer picture of how their marriage journey is going to be like. Mostly, the latter days of honeymoons are the moments when the actual life journey which the couple planned earlier on during courtship is elaborated better. Hereby, true intentions are being disclosed. Some plan their divorce right from honeymoon. They draw up a 2years/5years/10years plan, with all their benefits and resources attainable intact awaiting the divorce date. Notwithstanding, this moment is described the best moments of marriages. It's more like living the fantasy you always wished for until it ends, and you are awaken to reality once more. Because during this stage, all life problems and issues are put on hold. Full concentration is given to means and ways of enjoyment. That is why most marriages start off in debt cause they spend the little money after their wedding also on the honeymoon; ending up with nothing eventually. It's basically all about choosing the right partner though and life after honeymoon would be stress-free, figuratively.

Hopes Up

Pinky: I'm gonna stay stronger more than ever. I don't know how but I still got my hopes up and my gut never fails me. Just as I can tell whenever something is up with her. It's easy to tell you may think but it ain't that easy to be sensitive to little things. I guess I'm always bothered about her well-being, but, who is, when it comes to me?. Well I'm always all by myself in my darkest hours; having to keep myself strong with the notion that "joy cometh in the morning". Sometimes I gather all my tears and cry, "all in one". All I need to do is to just gather my sorrow, find a day and time, and pour it all out. Cause there's too much pain I've got to get out of my system. One thing I've realised is that, the more the pain piles up, the more little things people do hurt you the most. And you begin to find patterns and be relating things they did months ago, trying to add up unnecessary traits. It ain't easy, charley, but we will still make it anyway. It really hurts when the one you love don't meet your expectations of going about things; especially on special occasions, so everyday is treated as one. Even when they have free time on their hands, they occupy themselves with something either than you. In simple terms; they don't celebrate you. Nevertheless, still get your hopes up!. Rainy day Ahead!

Backstage

Tiwa: I'm a big emotional now cause I think you missed out on the happy moments of my life. How I wish you were here to see how my life turned out so fine. God bless you for being there for me whenever I needed a helping hand. At times, I even felt like I was using you, since you never asked for anything in return, for your ravishing favors. I wonder why we didn't end up together, cause my feelings for you were genuine. I really admired the person you were and the person you were becoming. I don't really recall ever having a problem with your appearance cause you were always spot on. Hair well-brushed, flip flops always neat and attire well-ironed and all that. Everyone kept on saying, we looked so good together, until you didn't like us walking together anymore, cause people started talking. Okay, I think I remember what I didn't like about you now. You never tried to mingle with my friends whenever you came over and they were around. You would always either leave and come back later or leave earlier than usual, which made them think they were the reason why. They didn't know you like I did, so I always gave them the benefit of the doubt. How's Canada anyway?. Belgium is fine, thanks for asking. Let's get in touch soon yeah!.

Internal Bleeding

Pam: I wouldn't want you to change anything about you because I'm use to the way you are now and wouldn't want you to make any adjustments, concerning acting cold towards me and all the emotions that comes with it. I wouldn't know what to do if you decided not to care anymore or to rather not share what's on your mind from time to time. Truth be told, it hurts me every time I feel left out of the updates on your day-to-day routines. I would write a whole book if you are willing to read about the reasons why I love you. There is a lot of love in my heart for you, regardless if you doubt me or cannot seem to realise it per my actions. Concerning my actions, please don't look far; judge from the little things I do for you. For example: me come running whenever you need me, checking up on you frequently,  me trying to get you the things you like, me telling you about my day without you asking. And if I could afford to do something big for you, I would have. But I noticed you have another in mind. Please don't do that to me. You know I'm selfish with you and would wish you would accept me for the ambitious slim guy that I am, so we can make it in life together by sharing our goals and visions. Wouldn't that be a sight?. But why do you want to break my heart by choosing another over me?. Kindly consider how far we've come. Why can't you be with me?. What is with me you don't want so I change?. I would go an extra mile just for your love. And I know you do love me, so let's make it official to drive them all away.

Broken

Hugo: I guess I'm soaked up in love but no one to share it with. I wouldn't say I'm hurt cause what would be the need for that anyway. I think the right word to describe my condition is that I'm broken. Don't ask me why cause I'm not willing to share. Besides, you are not in a better position to comfort me anyway. And I have learnt to heal on my own, so I guess I would have to wait just a little while for the healing process to finish up. I know it isn't your fault, that is why I'm not acting all emotional on you. But your choice of words sometimes cuts like a blade. So you deserve a little attitude from me sometimes as well. I don't always try to find faults with whatever you do as you may be thinking. But I would love that you put yourself in my shoes whenever you take any action that is likely to hurt my feelings. Cause is not all the time I'm gonna share; I would prefer you figure it out on your own mostly. #Coughing. Now I'm on my bed in pain and you have no idea about it. You may be up and about having fun but unknowingly causing pain to someone's son. Please don't make it seem as if I decided to fall for you. If it were so, I would have turned it around by now. Just pretend you never saw this message and let my heart be at peace. Besides, this isn't meant for you as you're thinking but for someone else.

Agatchu

Thug: I think its heartbreaking when another guy is all over your lady or vice versa, and all you can do is watch and pray she gets rid of him sooner, before it affects your mood. I understand you perfectly, if you say he can still do something about it. Of course he can, but wouldn't that create a scene?. Personally, I think its better if the guy gives his lady the opportunity to handle herself cause I'm quite sure she does that better in his absence. And that the guy can only step in when the lady either signals him or he thinks things are getting way out of hand. Even with that, I think he should ask his lady first if she can take care of the situation & that he is just an eye blink away if she needs any help. He totally has the right to interfere whenever he pleases though. That could at least indirectly send a message that he has his eye on her. To cut everything short, he can also signal her to come; as if he has an important message to tell her, just to get her away from him. And I think the lady should be conscious enough to notice her guy's signals or change of mood. Some people say, as for me my man isn't the jealous type. But should that be a VISA also?. Cannot tell if you disagree with me on this. I would love to know your opinion though.

Default

Adjoa: I know this is silly but I would still share it anyway. I don't want you to even know what I'm about to share so whatever you decide to do is fine by me. I can skip to the part where we went on a date if that is where your interest is. Anyway, his name is Zed, and we met at the gym. There was something about him that made me like him immediately we met. It's not what you're thinking though, he totally had his shirt on at the gym so it wasn't his body that attracted me to him. It was the way he smiled at me without saying a word. I mean if you've been at the gym, you would know how the guys there just want an opportunity to be all up in a lady's business. I mean, I make a new friend everyday and I'm pretty free with everyone there but none of them have my number though cause the guys like to gossip. Zed is obviously the only one I gave my number to. Weirdly, he only smiled and nodded whenever he saw me at the gym as a sign of saying hello. After a month or two, I decided to break the ice. I asked him how he was doing anytime he nodded hello. And that was the first time I heard his voice, to be frank, I was impressed. I liked the way he talked as well and I was a little intrigued to know more about him. One time I saw him about closing up from the gym so I also ended cause I was tired anyway. I walked up to him, asked of where he was headed and asked him to wait for me to pack up so we leave. It didn't feel weird at all, we just begun talking straight away. He was a gentleman as well to accompany me to my hostel even though he firmly stood on his grounds not to enter cause he needed to take his shower. I gave him my number to call me when he was done showering. And that was how it all begun. That's all you need to know. Thanks for reading.

Limit

Nelly: I wouldn't dispute the fact that my intentions are not always spot on. Sometimes they are a little off the hook and my actions tells. And I don't apologize for such actions because I'm very aware of my intentions whenever I do such silly things. But I think what hurts the most is when you are trying to make up for the messed-up things you've done and you are still misinterpreted because of the things you've done in the past. It kills my spirit actually, don't know about you. I'm talking about me and if you can relate then that's nice but if not then I guess you don't have something silly you like doing that you are very much aware of, yet don't know how to stop. It's not for a fact that you should have a silly habit you are so much fond of doing, but the message I wanna cut across is that everyone does have one. Unless they don't want to admit it. But I do believe you have a habit that people don't really like about you. (Not all people though). And due to my silly habits, even if I am sincere about missing them they would think I want something from them, which can be heart-breaking when I'm serious and not messing around. So I guess the main problem is, getting to know if someone is just kidding around or playfully serious. If we could easily tell then we wouldn't take things seriously like we always do. We would know just what to ignore and what to entertain.

Yearning for a Connection

Hansen: I joined up in a new class on some transfer thing I ended up doing eventually. Everyone in this new class was kind of ganged up or something, whereby they were in groups of sixes and sevens. But there was this fine lady who was like a part of every group kind of thing. She was almost free with everybody which was very unlikely in the class. She just caught my attention and I really wanted to befriend her and all. But she was too eloquent yet open but I just couldn't master courage to talk to her face to face. I came up with a strategy though, I decided to WhatsApp her. If she replies, fine, if not then its not meant to be. I figured out her number after a couple of minutes on the class WhatsApp group page. I drew up the pattern the conversation would gear towards, with every response and reply predicted just in case things go south. To my surprise, she replied faster than I expected. We begun chatting and the conversation was pretty smooth. Until I had nothing else to say after a week, and the conversation pattern I drew up was exhausted. It wasn't so useful anyway but at least it provided the topics I could come up with. I guess I was so excited that I didn't want the conversation to end so instead of closing up, I started saying things that made me look creepy. It almost sounded like I was proposing at a point. She immediately zoned me and her response and gestures towards me changed uprightly. Suddenly, I knew I had messed up big time and didn't know how to fix things no more. We resulted to hi's and hello's and even with that she would reply a day or two later. I just decided to give up on everything and abort mission of pursue. It's been exactly a year now and she just called me for the first time out of the blue. (Kofi Wusu me na menie!) Lol!

Boys Talk II

Richie: I mean, its kind of a weird experience though. Freezing when someone tells you; I love you. It's very disheartening. But the problem was that I didn't freeze because I didn't feel the same way, even though I wouldn't doubt the fact that she loves me more. That's the point I was trying to make that she didn't understand. I froze because that was my first time hearing it from a lady, and for some reason I thought she was just kidding, because we mess around a lot. So for some reason I laughed, but she had this serious face on for a long time. And that made me freak out a little, so I was like, Oh! so she's not messing around then. Before I could open my mouth to respond she had gotten up and entered the washroom. She later returned a few minutes afterwards with a total different topic. She refused to revisit the statement she just made no matter how hard I tried to rewind the conversation.  And we never revisited the topic up until now. I guess she wasn't any longer interested per my reaction. She didn't want to listen to any explanation at all. She said she was fine with the expression she got and that no further explanation was needed. So we went along with the friendship title but deep down we knew we meant more to each other than just being friends. But she said, she didn't want to get her heart broken so prevention was safe and her choice was final. The problem now was that, anytime she saw me with another girl and we were having a good time, her facial expression said it all about the way she felt. But what could I have done?. I did try my best but I guess my best wasn't enough for her. Didn't know what to do no more.

Boys Talk

Richie: Ma guy, abi you do remember Rosina?. She called me today. I'm even surprised myself. Relax, lemme tell you the whole story. I wasn't so much in a good mood today so I decided to pass through Gabby's place. And as I was there, scrolling through some animations and stand up comedy to cheer myself up. I had a phone call from Rosina. I was feeling a bit reluctant to answer. You know me and my flexing attitude. Finally, I picked up just as the line was about to cut. She sounded very positive and all, stressing on that fact that I don't look for her and that I don't even say hello as I use to. Her last sentence was the punchline; "after you've gotten what you wanted", she said.  I reminded her that I said hello just yesterday and that I wanted to pass by but her response wasn't encouraging enough so I stopped. But abi you know girls, she said I was bluffing. I hope you remember how I and Rosina stopped communicating as we used to or I didn't tell you?. No doubt, we had this vibe going on that we both knew was exceptional. We always wanted to be around each other. But the only disadvantage was that we both had someone special but we didn't tell each other, not that we were dating them though. We wanted to be sure where we were headed, even though we knew but we didn't want the feeling to stop. For sure, we could talk non-stop all day and the next and the next, which was weird. But you know, we had just started so the connection was pretty strong. Until, the unexpected happened, which was she told me she loved me and I froze. To be continued.

From My Heart

James: I ain't denying the fact that I love you. Even though, you finding it difficult to see. Cause if I don't then why would I be going through all this hustle trying to get you to believe?. I must say that as at now I do have this notion that our definition of love is from two diverse angles. Making it difficult for us to see eye to eye when it comes to love. But it still takes two to tangle and I ain't want nobody but you. When I'm with you I just feel alive in all my five senses. Indeed, I love all your curves and edges and I love the way you make me feel special sometimes and put my needs above yours. Even though, you ain't in the mood . Girl, I know you love me but why can't you see that I love you too. What do I do that clouds your judgement or question my love for you?. Okay, I can relate to that if that is how you feel. Cause I doubt your love sometimes. Oh yes!, I do. When I see the way you relate with other guys, I just cannot tell the difference between me and them. The response and gestures are mostly the same. Be it text message, phone call or whatever. So I do get you if you're seeing things from that perspective. But if not then you should enlighten me cause my love for you is more than your love for me. And I thought you should know.

Thoughts Lingering on my Mind

Anderson: True talk, I cannot feel what you're feeling but I do know how it feels; feeling you're all alone. But putting the blame on people for the situation you find yourselves in really creates bitterness. And it's not a good look. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand you if you decide not to trust any human. But also psyche yourself, that you're not to be trusted either. The truth is, no one can stop anyone from seeing life; the way they perceive it to be. Cause we are all entitled to our own opinions. Just try not to impose the way you see life on another, yet open their eyes to the possibilities of life. Cause it may be that they wouldn't go through the struggles you went through. Nevertheless, they should be made aware so that they can cope during such tough times. Most importantly, guard your heart. Don't take things too personal. Learn to overlook things. Don't make it get to you else you might react and regret your actions later.

One of Those Things II

Fiona: I have so much on my plate lately. But I still do try my best to always keep you close, by either calling or keeping you updated on what I'm up to. I hope my definition of best doesn't contradict with yours. Anyways, forgive me, if anytime I call you, something else pops up or it's like I'm in need of a favor. And forgive me as well, if I leave you hanging when you need me and I'm busy. Cause, I know very well if it were me, I wouldn't accept any excuses. Please don't take it like, I'm being distant or something else is getting all my attention. Also, please don't try to pin it on anyone you see me usually walking with or read my messages to find a loop hole. Cause I have realized, you start cultivating trust issues anytime I give you less attention. It's you I love and no one else so please don't try to find reasons to pin your jealousy on. Lol!. I am telling you all these to prevent any future drama from you. I will be extremely busy in the month of March but I will still find ways and means to make it up to you. I won't leave you all by yourself. I will still be your listening ear and closure when you need one. I only want to give you a heads up, as to the numerous activities I would be engaged in, from now, up until 19th March thereabout. Feel free to call or come around anytime you want to. Even if you have nothing to say, your presence is enough. We're a team, remember?, and I want you all up in my business.

One of Those Things

Dorothy: I was very much aware if I told you the way I felt, you wouldn't have given me a positive feedback. This is not me being pessimistic at all, but rather, me being objective. The truth was quite clear from the start. So I took the path your actions depicted. I didn't want to create any weird feeling between us. I know I may be selfish based on the decisions I took on our behalf. But put yourself in my shoes for a moment and you would understand me perfectly. I didn't really stand a chance; with Vera and Cassandra all up in your business. And from the way, we related, there was no special vibe I could base on, to at least say that, you were into me. Our relation was very plain, without any extreme intimacy. I wouldn't call it a mere friendship, but the chats we used to have wasn't deep. It was solely about others, yourself or me. How could I then have made any approach even if I wanted to?. Cause there was no evidence of a positive response from you. Believe me, if I say I'm a little confused, based on what you are telling me now. I know others may read this message, and think I didn't look sharp or I wasn't smart enough to notice. But I know pretty well, that you left no tracks for me to pick on, concerning your feelings. Else I would have known, cause I was very attentive when it came to you. But you never gave me an inch for me to extend it to a meter. This sounds more like a prank. And you're making me get emotional over it. Lol!

Thought You Should Know III

Alex: I guess you've been too busy these days. I've really tried to bring up this topic but everytime seems wrong lately. Cause it's been one thing after the other, time and time again. So I thought I should let you get to know it now, rather than procrastinating. Don't freak out, it 's no bad news. The whole matter is that; I love you. I've been in love with you for quite a long while now. When and how, I cannot tell. But I have been into you since the first day we met. Your personality was what drew me closer to you. I have been around you during your happy, rude, harsh, sad, emotional, rich, poor moments and my love for you hasn't withered. I haven't been in my best of characters always but you've never laid me off. I have withnessed you getting overly annoyed with me, but you've never decided not to pick up my call nor ignore me when I talk to you. Putting aside the fact that you are caring, loving, honest, sweet, good, tolerant, kind etc. You always take matured decisions, which I truly admire about you. Cause I know you love watching animation but that hasn't influenced your decision making in anyway, unlike others making fantasy decisions. I wouldn't say you are totally decisive and reliable but everyone has got their flaws. And I like that, you accept your mistakes and easily say sorry/thank you. And I also love that you are a grateful person. Hoping you feel the same way about me.

Thought You Should Know II

Cynthia: A little clarification would do, George. So if this isn't a relationship then what is it?. Please be straight forward with the answer. A simple, yes or no would do. Cause I was thinking we were on the same page all along. Not knowing you had your own definition of what this was. Kindly enlighten me, I won't get vexed. All I want to know is the simple truth. I can feel there is something you are not telling me. Some sort of plan you had all along that only you knew about. I'm a little disappointed in you though. You may not care, but you should know that karma is real. Please be careful, cause is not everyone you can play around with their mind/heart and get away with it scot free. Frankly speaking, I wasn't aware you had other plans apart from us. All along you made me think it was you and I. And suddenly, you want out without any logical reason. I just don't get you, George. What does she have that I don't have?. What extraordinary thing does she do?. I think you are the problem. And I'm sure you would surely leave her for another as well. Cause you just don't cherish what you have. You are always on the look out for a better replacement. Or you are having in mind, you don't have flaws as well. But I could overlook it, cause that is what a grateful and a person with vision does. I wish you all the best though.

Thought You Should Know

Iyke: I would love to go straight to the point but that wouldn't be enough. So please bare with me and take time to read. First of all, you've always been very special to me, that I cannot deny. I wouldn't feel fine if I deny that fact. Even though, circumstances has created this undeniable distance between us. You were one person I could always count on, you still are though but priorites has set in, which is normal. Sometimes, I sit down and reminisce about how we use to relate and communicate so well. It got to a time, others thought there was something fishy going on between us. I mean, I wouldn't deny the fact that I also felt the vibe at a point as well. The feeling was mutual, or at least I tried to convince myself it was. Until my eyes opened to reality. I still do remember the first time we hugged at the bus stop, that memorable evening. I'm not sure we can both forget that seven seconds emotional hug. That was one of the best of goodbyes without using words. I had never been so sure about someone like the way I was with you, until the tables turned. And all of a sudden, we moved from over-communication to nothing at all to talk about. But I do like the idea of we being friends.

Talk to Miss Guma

Joy: Miss Guma, I have a strong feeling my boyfriend is cheating on me. Anytime, he begins to distant himself from me, after a while, I realize, someone else has been getting all of his attention. On two occasions, he has done that. The first time, we were still friends. The second time, things were complicated between us. And again, I am having the same strong feeling that he is gone back to his old habits, which is really eating me up. I cannot confront him straightforward because I cannot really tell. If I go ahead and ask him, and I am wrong, it would really mess things up between us. So what should I do?
Miss Guma: I do understand your situation my daughter. But how sure are you, that you two are dating now?. Does he introduce you to others as his girlfriend?. If not, you should know that breaking up with you wouldn't be a problem for him. That also shows he either does not love you enough or he is just playing with your emotions. I mean, take time to think things through. Again, does he really break up with those girls?. Do you have any prove or whatsoever or you just take his word for it?. I think you should bring up a sensitive topic concerning your relationship with him and cautiously study his response and reactions, you would know where you stand, there and then. It could also be that you are just over reacting.
