Morning My Princess. How do you do?
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 10:46am On May 23, 2013
'welcome to my solitary, suffocating and...' Daisy was saying cheerfully as they entered the parlor. She stopped when she saw Jide standing in the
center of the parlour, his expression unreadable.

Everything seem frozen in time as each party studied the other.

'so he's the mother f.ucking hunk, that's been tripping ain't so?'
Brenda said melting the silence.

'uhm...Bree, that's...' Daisy started her nervous stutterring. She
hadn't expected him home again today!

'Don't trip girl, i know who this dude is' Brenda cut in waving her hand carelessly. Then she strutted to a settee, slowly sat down and crossed her legs, putting all the flamboyant effort she could in the
action.

Jide eyes travelled from his immobile wife to the sassy stranger seating in his parlour. She was dark complexioned contrasting Daisy light skin,
slim shaped, should be about Daisy's height and age. She was on dreadlock and wore a black fitted top on a black trouser, matching the combination with red dangling earrings and red high stilleto that climbed up to forever. Jide was sure she was also pretty behind that big black shades that adorned her face.

She reminded him of rich pampered and independent girls in Nigeria he hated and never ever dated. she also looked like those black American girls he watched in American movies, they had this sassy, bitchty, condescending and disrespectful attitude towards people. He feared that
this rude human was actually a friend of Daisy's.

If she had been the one forced on him, he could bet his a.rse that they wouldn't have lasted a week much less months, it was either he sent her packing or she sent him packing. Things couldn't get any worse, just when he had decided to start working towards...

Brenda coughed noisily, the silence in the room was getting unbearable and irritable. What was wrong with Daisy by the way? standing there like some nailed statue, making no move whatsoever. Was this how she reacted to this a.rse hole of a man. Brenda wondered angrily.

'really Dee, get me something to eat or drink, and stop standing there like some goddam idi.ot' Brenda said angrily, removing her eye shades.

'sorry' Daisy said softly and smiled at no one. What indeed was wrong with her? She thought angrily and sat down.

Jide looked towards Brenda again, as he had suspected, she was pretty, like the black American girls he so loathed. She was frantically eyeing him now.

'your friend hunh?' Jide asked the thin air and started walking away. No wonder Daisy had been acting up this few days, now he knew where she drew her power from. she cared no more about him, what an influence to align with! He thought shaking his head.

'remind me to hate that girl' he said to himself, minutes later as he drove out of the compound.

Back in the parlor, Daisy eyes glance fixedly at the black-blue tiled floor, she felt Brenda's annoyed gaze bore into her skin, but said nothing.

'Daisy what went wrong back there? Brenda finally spoke up, rage in her tone.

The mortified Daisy refused to look up at her friend who would be really
cross with her right now.

'Is that how you behave in front of him?' Brenda further asked.

'I didn't know he was around okay' she defended.

'duh, the dude lives here so why wont he...'

'He's always never around, that got me off balance' Daisy cut in.

'you shouldn't be for any reason, he might be hot and all, but he ain't a
gentle man and don't need soft...'

Daisy sighed. 'Can we drop the subject...please' Daisy said softly.


Brenda sighed resignedly, her anger dissipating. Daisy wasn't your regular bold and daring girl, her wiry attitude hasn't fully rubbed off on her, much as she would have loved it. Besides she could see how deeply her friend loved this man, if his presence only, could affect her like this.

'He's hot quit okay...' she said on a lighter note '...but he ain't been to Madam Teresa's school for the well behaved gentlemen'

Daisy smiled and looked up at her friend who was also smiling. It was a private joke they shared. Any man who acted rudely to them, they concluded, hadn't gone to that school where he would have been trained otherwise. But then the school was non existent, they formulated it.

'No he ain't been to one, and they got none in Nigeria too' Daisy added cheerfully.

'obviously girlfriend' Brenda called out, snapping her fingers with each syllable she said.

'come let me show you around, then we'd go prepare something to eat' Daisy said standing up and pulling her friend with her.

ok welldone done princesa!when was the last time i told you welldone dear princesa undecided cheesy
Re: Story: Taking Chances by princesa(f): 12:23pm On May 23, 2013
Brenda obliged. And both giggling like teenagers, they made for the hallway to go explore other parts of the house.

Brenda was affected by the resilience of her friend, little things hardly weighed her down for long, she always managed to bounce back to her cheerful self. She felt a strong urge to protect her against Jide who obviously didn't appreciate the wonderful woman that was his wife. Well, it was only day two of her arrival, Daisy still had a long way to go, and she still had rules to teach on how she would successfully subdue and stand up against her husband. Today, they'd just made do with catching up on old times.
Handsome, irritating Jide, would occupy the back space.

Re: Story: Taking Chances by luvmijeje(f): 2:18pm On May 23, 2013
Princessa well done. Just be a little bit careful in ur protrayal of Brenda in negative light except if that is what you want to achieve.
There was a reason why Jide was being so rude to Daisy but why is he being so rude to his ex-gf?
And I have to agree with those who pointed out the likeness and dislikeness Jide has for his wife and gf respectively was too sudden.
Fine,you don't have to explain everything but that is one important area that diffrentiate a good writer from a very writer.
