i aint surprised actually afterall u made a "prophecy" about it; i'm just feeling sorry 4 Mr. Thomas and Dave... though i'm still hoping Dave is not Olu's son.
I had the thought of hanging them b4 nw but i decided 2 keep it 2 myself.. i wasnt expecting any of Anita's kids 2 catch her redhanded
.
Nat. will b so disappionted, to think that he went against his dad and surported his mother thinking she was d sheep and his dad the goat

This looks nice tho, or wah do you think?
Nathan will just become Olu's father, cos Olu will be afraid to even talk to him.

Re: The Thomas....(a Family) by D9ty7(m): 7:27pm On Mar 20, 2015

__________________________________________

For the first time in months, Serena could categorically boast of having a fun filled day. Even though the day started on a sour note, from her encounter with her angry father, to the unexpected arrival of Stephanie to the sisters heart to heart talk about their result and the way forward, to Jake's nightmar-ish call and the scornful laugh he gave when he learnt of her score. And until Dave showed up at around 11:40am, she locked herself up in her room.
"God bless you Dave." She thought with a smile.
"What's amusing you?" Dave asked.
That was when she remembered that he was still in the car with her.
"I remembered something funny." She replied still smiling.
"You care to share?" He asked.
"No. Its personal."
"Whatever." He said with a hiss.
Dave concentrated more on the road, looking out for men of the Federal road safety corps, because the last thing he wished for was being stopped by those men who would stop at nothing the moment they realise he was without his papers. Even though he couldn't help but throw occassional glances at his sister.
"You know, I love aunty Bolaji." Serena said breaking the silence.
"Oh! Am glad you do." He replied.
"Where did you meet and how did things get all lovey-dovey between you two?" She asked.
"I met her a year ago at the airport. I was travelling to Abuja with my oga and she according to our conversation was going to visit her uncle." Dave explained.
"Waoh! So, you mean you scoped a girl in dad's presence?" She asked.
"For where? I pulled some strings and managed to get a seat away from dad. I sat beside her all through the journey and we exchanged contact." Dave explained with a smile.
Serena couldn't help but smile too.
"You guys made it official when?" She asked.
"Late last month...."
"And slowly, he love changed you from Dave the bully and always serious to the jovial Dave who jokes with everything." She cut in. "You know, I still can't believe you left the office to be with your girlfriend. I mean, who does that? In Dave's world, his job comes first."
She continued chatting happily with him as he drove back home and five minutes before they arrived home, her heart started beating very fast.
"Will dad be home by now?" She asked checking the time.
"5pm. Dad should be home except if Mama Londoner delayed him." Dave replied pulling into a filling station.
"You want to buy fuel?" Serena asked.
"Of course, Dad is travelling tomorrow and no filling station would be opened by 5am." He replied.
"Melo(How much)?" The attendant asked.
"Two thousand." Dave replied.
He removed two naira notes from his wallet and gave it to the attendant. And just then, Serena saw someone she knew.
"Dave, I'll be right back." She said as she ran out of the car.
"Uncle Vincent." She called as she approached the white Micra which was parked inside the 'Lube bay.'
"Oh! Serena, how are you?" Vincent asked.
Ten minutes later, Dave drove out of the filling station.
"Who is that?" He asked.
"The cabman who was instructed by dad to drive me to where I purchased the CBT software." She replied.
"Oh!" Dave muttered, suprise written all over his face, but he said nothing more.
-------------
"Hello dad." Serena greeted as she walked into the living room where her father was seated.
"Good evening sir." Dave greeted.
"Hello boy." He replied before he turned to Serena.
"Where are you coming from?" He asked.
"Dave took me out." She replied with a shaky voice. Was she near tears? She couldn't say.
"And what is being celebrated? Is it your birthday?" Her father asked.
"I took her out so she can grow over her exam woes and put it behind to forge ahead." Dave came to her rescue.
"Someone who failed deserved no special treatment. A student with a good result deserves encouragement, not someone who failed." His father replied almost in anger.
"Dad, she needs to be encouraged no matter what." Dave said.
"No problem. Is she encouraged now?" He asked as he glanced at her to see her eyes welled up with tears. His anger reduced and he felt pity for her.
"Go to your room and freshen up. See me when you are done." He said.
And slowly she walked out of the living room.

__________________________________________

Nate was being held at the security post after the drama he performed inside the hotel. He had vented his anger on his randy Uncle, at least if not to his satisfaction, he made sure he drew blood from the man even though he himself sustained a few injury.
"Oga, abeg let me go." Nate said to the security men who have vowed to hand him over to the police as instructed by the hotel manager and for the past four hours, no policeman had shown up.
"If you no keep your mouth shut their, I will suprise you." One of the three uniformed men replied.
"Oga, abeg free me na. I just dey come from school." He pleaded for the upteenth time.
"I don tell you sey if you wan go, drop your school ID card. Its like you don't know the gravity of the offence you committed. You left that man almost dead, because of what?" Another of the men replied.
"Oga, you no go understand. Just let me go." Nate said as he dipped his hand into his bagpack, fished out his wallet and removed wards of naira note.
"You wan bribe me abi? You think sey I be pauper? Go give your papa the money." The man said and this infuriated Nate who dropped his bag as well as his wallet and the naira notes.
"Do you want to beat me?"
"Oga, not dey mention my papa anyhow o. Him fit buy this hotel and everyone in it, including you three." Nate said angrily which earned him a slap.
"That your papa wey you dey talk na b.astard."
Nathan angrily walked to the extreme end of the spacious compound, picked up a plank and returned.
"You wan use still hit me abi?"
Immediately, the three men pounced on him, overpowered him and started giving him a second round of beating.
But this time, he refused to be overpowered. He forcefully hit one of the men in the groin, picked up the plank waved it and it hit the second man on the neck.
"If you move closer and I hit you with this stick, you'll regret the day you were born." He said to the third man, still holding the plank up in the air ready to bring it down.
He picked his wallet and his bag before walking out of the hotel still holding the stick.
"To where?" A bikeman stopped beside him.
"Gate." He replied mounting the bike.
"Na gate you dey go abi bus stop?" The bikeman asked as he drove off.
"No be your money you go collect? I will drop when I get to my destination." Nate replied angrily as he threw the plank he was holding away.
He was a total mess when he dropped at the junction, before walking the remaining distance to his father's house. His hair ruffled, his lips dripping with blood and a number of cuts on his face.
"Nathaniel the bad man." The gateman shouted happily as he opened the gate to let him in.
"How far?" He asked shaking hands with the man.
"I dey na. Wetin you bring come?" The gateman asked collecting his bag and searching through his things. "Na clothes full here na. Na cloth I go chop?" He raised his head up and saw the cuts on his face.
"Choi! Wetin do you face? You fight person ni?" He asked with concern as he left whatever he was doing with the bag.
"Na today? Abeg, gimme my bag jor." He collected his bag and walked towards the house.
"Good evening sir." He greeted his father the moment he entered the living room.
"How are you oga?" The elderly man replied extending his hand for a handshake.
"Am fine sir." Nate replied impatiently.
"What happened to your face?"
"Its nothing sir. I need to rest." He replied as he walked away. The image of his last visit playing in his mind. He remembered how he had stood up to his father that fateful morning, three days after the divorce.
"Best big brother." Serena threw her weight on Nate the moment he entered the hallway.
But, much to her chagrin, he yanked her off angrily and she fell to the ground. He fished out his key, unlocked the door and walked into his room, securing the lock, the second he entered.

So Nate's father no c da bruise?. Anyway Serena das how life is. So must she suffer much pains before her father will accept her? So Anita's lover fought Nate n she looked on for her beloved son to be treated da way over her lover? She surprises me. Dave is now so sober. Da guys here u c how powerful women are? All hope is lost for Anita. Nate take it easy on Serena o. Don't displace ur anger on her. Will he reveal the secret? Hmmm. D9ty7 gud job der.

That's how it feels, when someone you think is innocent, ended of been a Criminal. Anita has disappointed her beloved nate, and I fear she can't win his heart again, not so easy thou

Nat. shld better tell his dad and siblings what he saw Anita doing o
Re: The Thomas....(a Family) by D9ty7(m): 9:13pm On Mar 20, 2015
For the records, Nate had no idea of the latest development in the house(the reconcilation) so, its nw up to him to spill it out to someone. Certainly, Dave is out of the picture(they ar nt on good terms) their father is out also, wich leaves the Serena option. But if I were to be in his shoes(even tho I dnt wear other pple's shoes) I won't tell anyone about it, but to avoid problems, I will do everything possible to ensure that Anita doesn't return to the house. Yes, I love my mum nd I love my dad. A cheating partner cud kill, so I'll save my popsy's life while as mumc's favourite, I let her be, so she can explore the world some more.
Stuff46, what do you think?
Re: The Thomas....(a Family) by StormAngel(f): 9:31pm On Mar 20, 2015
