Re: Shattered Glass by Nobody: 9:48pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
At first this was cute, now it's just getting annoying. My story doesn't have suspense, it doesn't have this, it doesn't have that.... Mbok, you're here on your own volition. It doesn't have that one thing you like so much, out, out, gerrarehere and let me breathe, ma fren' I'm writing to entertain, not to win some grand prize. No suspense? No suspense, really? I don't put blood and sweat into this just for someone that can't even string a bunch of sentences together properly to come and spit BS carelessly. You'll see my next update when you see it... You don't like something, leave. Just leave and go and write your own story for a change... And make sure to put all the suspense you deem fit. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

MzNelly: NNE, I'm really unhappy that you are sad about all the literature professors that read stories with a marking scheme...... Like you rightly stated in a post earlier, you are writing for entertainment purposes, and so far you are doing an extremely incredible job, in fact even with years of hard practice, I don't think I can match this skill painting beautiful and interesting scenarios in the minds of people using words. I know my strength and I excel at it, I also never fail to appreciate others who excel at at their own endeavors. For all I know, suspense should be felt and not expected, and I tell you reading this story gets all my senses agog. I am happy and I derive satisfaction from reading this story and I think this is exactly what you intend to achieve.. I also encourage constructive criticism but within the scope of what this is, a well thought out story aimed at making us happy and not an international journal. Fire it up MzNelly.... Kudos for your work so far..... 2 Likes |

Richard breathed in her perfume and held on to her hair like letting go would kill him. Vosa chuckled, excited and out of breath. "I can't believe you did that! You just came with the police and you were like 'That's my girlfriend, Dad. Don't move!'-" Vosa fell to the beach sand still laughing. "You're insane!" Vosa tugged on his trousers till he fell to the sand with her. "Yes Vosa, I'm insane. That's what happens when I spend a lot of time with you. You made me insane." Vosa smiled. "I'm glad you came when you did. If you didn't, only God knows what your Dad would've done to me... But how did you even know where we were?" "That's my Dad's hideout for his dirty businesses. I just knew you had to be there. So I informed the police and, well... The rest as they say is history. I'm just glad he's locked behind bars and won't be causing us any more harm." Vosa ruffled his hair adoringly. "My hero- You called me your girlfriend too?" He cleared his throat and sat up. "Yes-?" "Was that just for show or-?" He smiled, leaned forward and kissed her. Vosa felt it-the spark people were always talking about in books and movies. She explored his mouth with her tongue, gently moaning as he grabbed her from behind. He broke the kiss for a minute and stared her dead in the eyes. "You're my girlfriend. Know that now." She chuckled. "And you're my boyfriend." She kissed him again, lovingly. "I've never made love on the beach" She said, biting his lip. "Come to think of it, have you ever made love?" She stared at him speechless and stunned. It was a cocky but real statement. She had never made love to a man and neither had Biebi. Speaking of Biebi- "Richard! We need to go back home. Biebi must be worried sick!..." "Oh... Your troublesome friend" He stood up, reluctantly. "Huh?" "I'll tell you all about it in the car. Let's go." 5 Likes 1 Share |

"We're ready, B!" Vosa shrilled, poking her head through the curtain. She blew a kiss at Biebi who was looking stunning in her wedding gown. "You look beautiful" Vosa said, admiringly. "Beyonce got nothing on you." Biebi giggled and stared at herself in the mirror again. She couldn't believe this was happening, but the time had come. The time was now. She was getting married to the man of her dreams, the man she really couldn't see herself without. She smiled at her reflection as she dropped the veil. No regrets, No apologies. She was happy, she was genuinely and sincerely happy. It was her day, it was her time. "Biebi! I know you're the bride, but hurry up, goddamiit!" "I'm coming, girl" Vosa rolled her eyes and walked in. "Here you go" She handed Biebi a bouquet. "Remember to throw that flower at me, so Richard can take the hint or I'll kill you" Biebi laughed. "Shut up Vosa. Why did I even make you my Chief bridesmaid?" Vosa smiled. "Come on Biebi, Let's go. I'm sure Doye is getting impatient." "I'm waiting for.." There was a knock on the door and Tim Reeds poked his head in, smiling. "Am I late?" Biebi stood up and shook her head. "No, not at all. Vosa, he will walk me down the aisle. He's proved himself to be a true friend and I really have no one else." Vosa stared at him skeptically. "No one else? You should have told me. My uncle in the village would do just fine" Biebi hissed and took hold of Tim's arm. "Shall we?" And together they walked, slowly down the aisle, slowly towards her ruin. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Shattered Glass by Nobody: 5:53pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
I'm not skipping nau. Lol, please wait for me to land biko. ******** Doye watched her as she approached him so serene and so beautiful... With a white dude on her right arm. Whoever that was, he had no idea. He would have to ask her that later though. For now, he focused on the fact that he was going to wife up the enthralling woman he had ever met. Richard approached them with the rings. He had chosen him as his best man, cos he seemed like a pretty cool guy; and if he had any male friends before now, he couldn't remember. Speaking of remember, he had been recollecting a lot of memories the moment he woke up- Like his relationship with Monica, his heartbreak, all his duties as a lawyer. What he couldn't seem to remember though was- "Doye" Biebi whispered silently, interrupting his thoughts. "Oh, I'm sorry." He took the ring and looked up to the priest. The priest adjusted his robe and eyed him, distatestfully. He had seen a lot of lovestruck groomsmen to last him a lifetime. But 2 years into their union, and the marriage goes sour. He was sure this wasn't any different. He cleared his throat and held up the wedding vows they had both written. "I, your name-" "I, Abidoye Yemi take you,Biebi Ikozie to be my wife. I promise to choose you every day, to love you in word and deed, to do the hard work of making now into always. To laugh with you, cry with you, grow with you, and create with you. To honor the divinity in you, of you, and around you. To be your kin and your partner in all of life’s adventures. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don’t yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself. I promise to always be your biggest fan and partner in crime-" He stopped and stared at her through the veil. His memory of how they had met was slowly coming back. He dropped the ring and held on to his head, as severe pain ricocheted through his skull. "Ah!" "Doye?" She held on to his arm, worried. He seemed in so much pain and her belly turned as he kept on groaning. "Don't touch me! You slüt!. How dare you?! How dare you trick me into marrying a common próstitute like yourself?" Everyone seemed confused but Biebi understood clearly what was going on. He had gotten his memory back. She just wanted the ground to cave in and swallow her. The embarrassment was just too much for her to bear. "You thought I wouldn't figure it out?" He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her violently. "Doye, please, please... We made so many good memories. Hang on to them, remember them. Please, Doye." He flung her to the floor and panted, upset. Biebi sobbed, distraught and massaged her arm. The audience murmured, confused and some journalists even began taking pictures. Tim Reeds walked up to Biebi and helped her to her feet. "He doesnt know?" He whispered to her. "Now, he does." "Let's leave" He grabbed her by the arm. "No... No... He has to-" "Bieb, please. You can explain later, but let's leave here with your dignity intact before he wrecks it evem further" She wordlessly followed him out of the church, shocked to the marrow. Why had luck never been on her side? He had to be remember, today, on their wedding day? Vosa walked up to Doye, furious and hit him on his right cheek. "How dare you treat my friend like that? After nursing your amnesiac ass, this is what she gets?!" "You? I remember you. You're the one who hit me on the head with that vase. You and your prostitüte friend are responsible for the state I was in. You stupïd little whóre! And you have the right to touch me?! I could get you arrested!" Richard stepped forward, angry as well. "Hey, don't you dare talk to my girl like that. If you don't know how to respect yours, I do" "Take so much pride in dating a cheap próstitute, don't you?" Richard, infuriated by his statement, punched him on the jaw. Doye staggered and tried to regain his balance. He touched his cheek and saw he was bleeding slightly. He shoved a clenched fist into Richard's stomach and kicked him in the groin. "Stop!" Vosa screamed. "Somebody please stop the them!" Richard tripped Doye and he fell on his back. "You fool! I'll teach you to respect a woman!" Before he could 'teach' him, two able bodied men had come to separate the both of them. Doye's parents came forward and fussed over their only son. "What happened?" "Why did you treat her like that?" "Did you remember something?" Vosa took her now limping boyfriend out of the church, cursing excessively at Doye and anyone else she saw or whomever tried to take a picture of her. Biebi's day of joy turned immediately into a day of chaos. 4 Likes 4 Shares |
