Matt gulped down the contents of his glass and began pouring himself another as Andrea watched him, pitifully. He was about to gulp down its contents when Andrea snatched the glass from his grip.“C’mon man, you’ve had just about enough drinks for tonight.” He said, pushing the bottle of liquor and glass away from Matts’ reach.“No, I just need one more glass and I’m done.” Matt pleaded in a drunken state.“That’s not gonna happen. You’re done and if I were you, I would pull myself together.”Matt sighed and sank into the couch at the VIP section of the bar where they sat. Andrea looked at him quietly for a while as he stared into space.He looked horrible and so dejected, Andrea had never seen him in such a state before. It was a first. “You know man, I still do not understand what the problem is with you. I mean why are you letting yourself get wasted? And why are we here at this bar and not at yours?” Andrea asked, worried for his friend.“I don’t want to talk about it.” Andrea si

Nicole was surprised to see Matt coming down the stairs, all dressed up, shortly after she had left him. “I thought I asked you to rest some more. Where are you off to?” “Home, to my apartment.” He replied, coldly.Nicole tried to speak but he was out the door before she could. She kept her gaze fixed on the door and sighed sadly.In a cab heading back home, Matt couldn’t decide whether or not it was a good idea for him to pursue Sophia after being rejected by her the day before. He thought of calling her but immediately dismissed the idea and instead called his best friend, Andrea.“Look man, my schedule’s tight today. I’ve got no plans of going out with you.” Andrea said immediately he received the call.“That’s not why I called. I just…... I need someone to talk to before I lose my mind.” Matt divulged.“Why? Is something wrong?” Andrea asked, concern laced in his voice.“I think she rejected me. I told her how I felt but…. she started acting strange and I haven’t heard from her s

Sophia was in the kitchen preparing dinner for the family when her mother showed up. “Sophia, your phone has been ringing nonstop, it seems urgent.”Sophia reduced the heat of the cooker and took the phone from her mother. “Please help me keep an eye on the pot. I’ll just make a quick phone call.” She said and left the kitchen.She dialed Daniella’s number and she picked up the call at first ring. “Hey Daniella, what’s up?”“I need your help, Sophia. I messed up real bad and I don’t know what to do or who to call. I think I’m losing my mind right now.” Daniella panicked over the phone, sounding like she was about to tear up.“Okay, okay, calm down and tell me what the problem is.” Sophia tried to persuade her.“I can’t tell you over the phone. You need to come see it for yourself. I’ll text you the address. Please hurry or I might just do something terrible to myself again.” She said and dropped the call.“Hel…hello, Daniella.” She heard the dial tone go off and looked at her cellphon

The hospital reeked of antiseptic, a little bitter, with undertones of the artificial fragrance. All these made Sophia feel nauseous as she sat waiting for her turn to go in to the doctors office. It's been hours since she arrived at the hospital but was yet to be attended to and the disturbing hospital smell wasn't helping either. She's never really felt nauseous around hospitals, so the feeling was new. "I hope I don't puke all over the place. What could possibly be taking the doctor so long" she said to herself as her mind drifted to the possible outcome of the test results she was there for.She had her assumptions on what the result could be but prayed her suspicion was wrong. She couldn't afford such scandal right now."Miss Dalton, Miss Dalton, the doctor is ready to see you now" a female nurse said, disrupting her thoughts as she called out to her from where she stood in the hallway leading to the doctors office.Sophia's gaze turned to the nurse. She wore blue scrubs and he

Sophia got to the train station as early as she could to get on the first batch heading towards Newham and she was going without informing her mom, it would do her no good if she did.Everything worked out so fast and maybe it was because it was a weekend and people were traveling here and there to get something, the train started and throughout the ride, she was only memorizing how she would present herself to her mom.How she would tell her that her words finally came to pass. Flashback to a year before; on the 15th of March, 2014.That very afternoon her mom had walked in on them having sex, and had told her; “If later you get pregnant and he rejects it, don’t come to me!” The more that statement flashed in her mind, the more she felt scared but whether she likes it or not, it has happened.After taking two more rides, she’s now in front of her mom’s house, standing like a lost dog and there she was having a rethink whether to turn back or go in.“Sophia??” Her legs became fixed

2 YEARS LATER“Do you want to talk to granny??” Sophia asked her daughter, Ann, a very beautiful girl with the prettiest eyes, having all the features of her mom.“Hm” she didn’t actually reply as her mouth was filled with chocolates.“Drop her off at the kindergarten and leave already. You told me they pay high and you cannot afford to not get accepted!” Luisa scolded her daughter, she’s wasting too much time.“I’m already on my way” Sophia smiled and picked Ann up into her arms before getting her bag and other stuff.She spent 7 minutes walking to the kindergarten that’s not so far from her house and was happy as the girl didn’t show any sign of not wanting to go there. Maybe because she had her mouth busy, it was good either way.~~~“Here I come, I really have to get this job oh good lord!” Sophia muttered softly as she stands in front of a renowned clubhouse she had applied to for a job.The Starlight nightclub is known for its exotic nature and gaining frequent recognition by pe

It was a very early morning on Sunday when Sophia sprung up from her bed to pick up her phone that would not seem to stop ringing unless she answers.Saturday night had been the most stressful night ever for her, she didn’t get to seat until 10pm as the request at the starlight nightclub was just too much but she didn’t have a choice because apart from the weekly salary, she knows how much she’s garnered from the tips given by customers.At first, she didn’t know if it was okay to take the tips until the manager himself told her to take it whenever she’s offered.“This is Sophia, do you need me for anything?” Still feeling sleepy, she yawned loudly.“Were you among the ladies for the night shift??” She still didn’t know who was talking.“Yes, I was with them”“Come to the club right away, something happened and everyone’s attention is needed immediately” her eyes briskly opened with force.She cleared her throat whilst trying to get that statement settled in her head as it sounded out

"It's alright Ms. It's actually my fault for coming to the door without proper clothing, I just returned from the shower. Please come in and make yourself comfortable while I go put on something better." The young handsome man said after noticing her discomfort. Sophia simply nods at his words and didn't bother looking back at him. He hurriedly goes in to get dressed whilst she lets herself in after noticing his absence.She felt impressed with his decor as she kept feeding her eyes on them where she sat. He had beautiful art paintings hung on the wall and scented flowers bringing life to the sitting room. She noticed he didn't have much furniture so she sensed he was a bachelor. Regardless, his sense of taste appealed to her.He shows up much later, fully clothe now. "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long Ms..." He stressed the last word, waiting for a response."Sophia, Sophia Dalton." She completed his sentence, smiling at him."Would you like a glass of water to dr
