#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 31: PEACE OF MIND. ——— To Tayo, Idara's call was nothing but a miracle from heaven.  Earlier on, he'd been living his normal routine at work; dedicating his undivided attention to his customers, minding his own business as usual, until he got Idara's call. Little did Tayo know that he'd end up chilling with Idara in a cinema tonight. They'd actually just finished seeing a movie titled The Fault in Our Stars, and they were both left spellbound after the experience. “God, that movie is amazing!” Idara confessed, twirling on her way out of the cinema. “So amazing!” Tayo laughed at Idara's antics, watching how her creamy ocean blue mini-dress swayed around her body. “I couldn't agree more

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 33: COMPLICATIONS. ——— In her messed up state, Isioma suddenly felt someone's hand on her shoulder, comforting her. She looked up at once, only to see the person she least expected: Michael, Candice's step-brother, who she'd once tongue-lashed in public. It swiftly dawned on Isioma that karma was, indeed, real. She wondered what he was doing here, sitting beside her, with a camera in his other hand. Was he here to torment her too, like his sister? Or did he even have a hand in her predicament, as some sort of revenge against her?  Honestly, it was hard to tell, especially with the grim look on his face, and that was why Isioma shoved his hand away almost immediately he touched her. “Hey, chill.” Mike said calmly. “I

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 35: A WAKE-UP CALL. ——— Sunday, 8:20 AM, exactly three days after Idara's family's reunion.  “So that's the house over there, down the road.” Mike announced, as he and Isioma alighted from a tricycle. “The big-ass one with the fancy painting and stuff.” “Oh.” Isioma's eyes traced Mike's index finger till they landed on a unique two storey building. “Are you sure?” “If I wasn't sure, will I be here with you? Of course I am.” “Perfect.” Isioma said, savouring the classiness of her surroundings. “What a nice estate. No wonder bikes and tricycles aren't allowed here. Anyway, what now?” “Now, let me give my sassy step-sister one l

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS   Author: Sam Freddy   CHAPTER 37: KARMA STRIKES.   — — —   As a baker, Isioma had quite a lot of loyal customers in her school, simply because of the outstanding quality of her products and their affordability, and of course her exceptional marketing skills and her friendliness too. Today, she'd come to deliver a birthday cake to an evangelist's wife in the school's central church and she was heading out when she spotted someone kneeling before the altar, praying.   To Isioma's surprise, it was Jordan, and he'd just concluded his prayer when she saw him. He stood up and sighted Isioma behind him.   “Isioma!” Jordan exclaimed at once. “Are you spying on me?”   “I wish I was,” Isioma replied, amused. “But, actually, I came here for business. I was on my way out when I saw you. What a pleasant surprise.”

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 39: A DREAM COME TRUE. ——— On this cool Tuesday evening, the air was crisp and clear at the beach, and there were only a few people roaming about, which paved the way for Idara and Tayo's little romantic picnic on the sand. Well, they weren't actually sitting on the sand since they had a big mat spread out, which housed a plastic tray and a big basket that contained various fresh fruits and a bottle of champagne and two glasses as well, including Idara's fancy tote bag. Since the picnic was only a minor flex, Idara wasn't dressed to kill. All she wore was a brown floppy hat and a palm leaf-printed tube top, plus a unique drawstring denim shorts with brown strappy sandals on her feet, coupled with some colorful waist beads and blue wristbands and an anklet too. And, of course, she
