TWISTED PART 1









Typing away furiously on her computer, Yeni heard her phone ringing but she was too engrossed in her work she didn't pick up till it rang out. Her phone rang again; this time she picked up angrily and yelled an unfriendly “hello’’ into the mouth piece having seen the caller Id *TAYO BBM*Tayo was scrolling through his bbm update when he saw the picture of a plus size diva on his contact’s dp, ordinarily Tayo would never give it a second look as he could not stand plus size ladies for reasons he could not yet fathom. But this pretty face and sexy curves got him staring at his phone. Immediately, he pinged his bb contact; Suzie and asked to get the pin of the beautiful girl on her display picture. After much persuasion he finally got her pin and started chatting with her. She wasn’t coming off easy but he knew the game and was going to play it to the end; winner or loser albeit he knew he could never lose.Tayo had planned to go on a date with this beautiful lady but she was too slippery and he just could not hold her down. Many times he asked her out on a dinner date, lunch date, movie time out, karaoke but she would never agree to any of it. So he resorted to begging their mutual friend once again to put in a good word on his behalf and it seemed that worked magic.
she suddenly became nice to him on the phone and even gave him her mobile number.  Yippie! dancing sekem*Now that he had her number, he was convinced that he could persuade her into going on a date with him, he just had to meet the beautiful belle that has captured his heart and soul.
Yeni was getting impatient as well as irritated with the Tayo dude, she wished he would calm down as he had been suffocating her with calls ever she gave him her mobile number. “hello, am kinda busy right now and I can’t talk. Do you mind if I call you back or you send a message if it’s so urgent.’ Tayo was used to this attitude or better put “fronting“ from Yeni but he wasn't going to relent  not after coming this far “oh! Not a problem I will call back honey” and beep! The line went off.
"HONEY?" Yeni was taken aback by his show of overwhelming fondness; what the hell is wrong with this guy, how can he call me honey when I barely know him, they have only been talking for two days after she gave him her mobile number seeing he would not let her breathe; she hissed loudly and resumed her typing. Then her phone rang again, this time Yeni was agitated and picked up without looking at the caller ID, yes? I said I’m busy she vented on the phone,''ahn ahn! What is doing this one dis moring that she is vexing like dis? Kemi replied jokingly. Not until Yeni heard kemi on the other end of the line did she smile 'ah my dear, its one lover boy on my case o, the dude doesn't wanna let my phone charge, he has been disturbing me with both pings and calls. Kemi gave a short laugh ‘hmmnnn I go loff ooo, then more seriously she asked; so why aren't you giving him the green light babe? Don’t forget 30 is knocking on the door and you might wanna reduce your standards so you don’t miss the last flight to the united states of matrimony. Yeni snorted ‘abeg the guy is choking me. “Just give him a chance Yeni, Kemi pleaded; you just might never know what beautiful package destiny has for you. She ended the call with kemi after promising not to be uptight when next Tayo calls.
As if on cue Tayo called back five minutes after Yeni ended her call with kemi .“hi Love, Yeni rolled her eyes and muttered *there he goes again* she was tempted to shout at him to cut all endearment and go straight to the point but Tayo just went on and on,oblivious of the resentment in Yeni’s voice."How about we go out for lunch dear?Tayo asked."I can’t make out time for lunch; I have a workload on my table’ Yeni snapped. 
"Oh baby, i'm so sorry about that, How about dinner and movies after work to ease the days’ stress?" She was about to shout a big NO when she remembered kemi’s advice on turning 30 soon,truly 30 was just  2 months away with no boyfriend or fiance. So she changed her mind and decided to give Tayo a chance. "errrrm!ok that’s fine;Pick me up by 5pm. Plot 115, Montgomery Road Lekki phase 1"
Wow! Tayo couldn't believe his ears and luck. For a second, he thought he didn't hear her correctly but he quickly replied lest she changed her mind again. "Great honey,I can’t wait to……".the line Beeped.Yeni was off.                                      
                    
                   ***************************  *******************  **************

Parked outside Grovello Group, Tayo was anxious and nervous at the same time; if he was to give a figure then this date would be his 100th but it felt like his first because he was all tensed up like he was about to be disvirgined the 20th   time. He didn't quite understand the feeling cos he was a handsome playboy and didn’t need to work his ass off trying to impress any lady. He always got them cheap. ‘Come on boy don’t be an ass, she’s just a normal girl and not the Queen of England. Calm the hell down Tayo’ he psyched himself up and dialed her number. It was 4:55pm.Hello, I’m outside your office.Ok, give me 10 minutes.He quickly checked his face out on his rear-view mirror and freshened his breath with a mint fresh as he was putting back the mint fresh he saw her bouncing out……hmmnnn not bad and not obese,cool. He quickly ticked the boxes in his head.
cool outfit- sea blue peplum top over a black fitted pant trouser with matching accessories,
lovely shoes- *nude louboutin heels, 
Nice Hair- *wow natural Afro*
make up- well maybe a light touch up but not in excess.
Tayo smiled to himself ‘thank God all my effort didn't go in vain. mehn!she is worth all the trouble". He got out of the car and waved at her, she saw him too and thought to herself……hmmnnn cute dude, not bad at all. She didn't get the chance to tick all the boxes in her head as he was standing right in front of her. 
He held out his hand and later changed his mind in a swift moment and gave her a full hug, he didn't want to let go, her body against his was so soft and puffy, he was almost aroused.She smelt so sweet he could perceive a mixture of Victoria secret Japanese blossom fragrance and Elizabeth Arden’s plush addict. Damn! she smelt like lollipop and he was tempted to lick her. Yeni hugged him back but disengaged when the hug lingered on for too long, Tayo obviously got carried away."Wow!you look stunning baby and its no flattery" Tayo held her gaze for a while. "thank you"she flushed and quickly looked away. 
Yeni felt something strange happening to her, were those butterflies in her tummy? She shifted uncomfortably. Tayo noticed and quickly saved her the embarrassment by interrupting her thoughts. "Errrr, what movie do we see? I checked the website, October 1st” is showing by 6:55 while “No Good Deed” is showing by 7:10 pm at the leisure mall. Do we find something to eat first given the fact that we both just got off work, what do you say?
Whatever you decide is fine by me.They got into the car and Tayo started the engine. Yeni looked over at him and rolled her eyes*he couldn't even help with the door,msheww she hissed, very typical naija guy.
The drive down to Yellow Chilli wasn't as bad as they both anticipated, there was no awkward moment of silence, they talked and laughed over anything and everything, almost seemed like they have been friends for a long time. Tayo played a track from olamide’s album, they mouthed the lyrics seeing they both loved the song. Story for the gods, story for  the gods, the gods o…..  with Yeni shaking her head and moving her body to the rhythm, Tayo noticed and asked ‘do you club? Sometimes, she replied offhandedly and Tayo quickly saved that for next Friday.The movie “October 1st” by Kunle Afolayan wasn't a bad choice and when it was time to go home, Tayo was already missing Yeni. He dropped her off at her house and hugged her so tight she almost lost her breath. She gently disengaged from him just as he quickly planted a light kiss on her cheek. They said goodbyes after promising to see the next day.Yeni walked into the house singing a line from Adele's I found a boy’ when Kemi grabbed her by the arm, shoved her into the room and bombarded her with questions after questions.
‘Hey babe how far now, how did it go, is he fine? What car does he drive? Was he well-dressed? Hope he can speak good English o. what did you guys eat? How did he react when he saw you? Did you two hug? Does he smell nice? Hope he doesn't have body and mouth odor o, I kuku trust you sef, you for don run 440 come house if he had any.  Yeni couldn't help but laugh out loud, Kemi was such a case.Ahh! My friend my friend, at least allow me take off my shoe now haba! The gist won’t pass through my esophagus even if I try to swallow it okay? Take a chill pill madam. Yeni began to twirl round in circles and Kemi just watched on in high expectation. ‘u sef talk jare which one is this Cinderella dance again abi u want konji to kill me ni, Hahahahhhaha she laughed at herself. Finally Yeni stopped dancing and faced her overly curious friend.  ah! Kemi, u and gist ehn. Anyway, his name is Tayo aka Teeboz, came to pick me up from the office at exactly 5pm and he wasn't looking bad at all in fact I can say he is handsome. We hugged and that is how the guy nearly slept off on me o. this time Kemi was laughing hard, do you blame him, who wouldn’t? me sef wey dey take your boobs do pillow you think say I be gay? Abeg free the guy joor,oya continue. But Yeni was too tired she begged Kemi to allow her take her take a shower and promised to give her all the details afterwards. ok o madam, I will be here waiting for you, she shouted after Yeni who was already on her way to the bathroom.

Somewhere in blockG, Flat 6,Osborne Estate. Mr White was trying his best to revive Uzor, his maid. He didn't mean to hurt her, he only wanted to scare her and get his way with her as usual but she was scared he wanted to strike her again like he was used to so she pulled the knife from the rack on the table but she wasn't fast enough as Mr White had over powered her and mistakenly stabbed her in the chest in self-defense. The kitchen floor was in a pool of Uzor’s blood, he was in a state of shock and confusion, he didn't know how to call for help. How was he going to explain all this blood to his children, the cops, most especially Mrs. White? He panicked for a while then he quickly got a rag and a bucket of water, he went on his knees, just as he was about to clean up the blood on the floor, the kitchen door flung open……..
