But that's not all. There comes CANDICE, a lovely, beautiful maniac who just happens to be Yomi's special girlfriend and a stumbling block to the ever gentle Idara. How does Idara get past her?

Well, if you have ever been there, then you would most definitely relate to everything you are about to witness in Idara's funny love story.

Enjoy! CHAPTER 1: THE CHALLENGE. It all started when Yomi and Idara gained admission into the same school.

CHAPTER 2: THE TURN DOWN.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 2: THE TURN DOWN. ——— While so many other students sat in pairs and in groups at different spots of the Lagoon Front, Idara sat all alone on the same low, stony pavement, thinking deeply. Absently playing Anastasia's acoustic guitar with closed eyes, she thought about her childhood with Yomi. Yomi had always been a significant figure in Idara's life since she was six. He'd shaped her in so many unbelievable ways. He was like the brave Jack to her Rose, and she, in turn, was like the relentless Ann Darrow to his King Kong, but he never realized that. Sadly, the extra special love was one-sided. Idara remembered once when she was sick and drenched in the rain, but Yomi carried her on his back regardless, all the way from their secondary school to the estate where they both used to l

CHAPTER 3: HOPE.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 3: HOPE. ——— The next day was beyond hectic for Yomi, because he had to assist his friends in moving their belongings to their new apartment with his car. Tayo, Anastasia's brother, wasn't left out of the hustle either. Yomi and Tayo collectively helped in setting up the one-bedroom apartment to the ladies' satisfaction. Together, everyone cleaned and furnished the crib on Sunday. At the end of that day, all that was left was to attach an overhead fan to the ceiling and paint the walls of the room to another preferable colour.  On Monday, after lectures, Yomi drove Anastasia and Idara to a well-known supermarket to get the necessary items. While both ladies did the shopping, Yomi waited in his car, listening to music to kill time. He was about to change the radio station when someone knocked on h

CHAPTER 4: SWEET CANDY.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 4: SWEET CANDY.  ——— In all honesty, Yomi's birthday party was a blast. It was a low-key event, as planned, and it was strictly by invitation. There were a lot of important factors that spiced up the celebration, such as lots of beautiful ladies, surplus drinks and snacks, a big, fine cake, and very fun games, to mention but a few.  A total of twenty-five people were present at the ceremony — including the celebrant himself — and it lasted for one hour at Unilag's Love Garden. Then, when it was over, so many people left, while a few others stayed behind to have some more fun.  Presently, the time was 9:13 PM, and Yomi was with Jordan, Steve, Jonathan, Candice, Alice, Betty, and Isioma. Steve and Jonathan were both Yomi's good friends and course mates, wh

CHAPTER 5: TRUTH OR DARE.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS   Author: Sam Freddy   CHAPTER 5: TRUTH OR DARE.   — — —   When she returned from the distant store with Tayo and Anastasia, Idara was beyond surprised to meet the others sitting on some iron benches in the Lagoon Front, playing a nasty game of Truth or Dare. Somehow, they all happened to be the only ones relaxing there tonight, but Idara wasn't sure, so she looked around and figured out that — for what seemed to be the first time in history — there were no other students or security guards in the area but just the group, all by themselves. It was complete freedom like never before.    Luckily for them, the illumination from the bright streetlights didn't really cover the small area where they occupied, which technically meant that there were less chances of them getting caught if the game got nastier with time.

CHAPTER 6: THE PROMISE.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 6: THE PROMISE. ——— Tayo had always had a soft spot for Idara ever since they met in school. Right from the very first day his sister introduced him to her, he knew she was so different from the other regular girls he'd seen in the Faculty of Social Sciences. To him, Idara was one of a kind: beautiful, rare, smart, lively, meek, simple and sweet. And he'd often tried to express his feelings for her through special gifts and lengthy phone calls, but sadly, she never read between the lines.  The closest to a green light that Tayo had ever gotten from Idara were the usual friendly smiles and the funny pet names. Sometimes, he wondered if his age was what scared her away from him. He was just twenty-eight years old, and she was twenty-five. There wasn't too much gap between them, after all.&n

CHAPTER 7: LISTEN TO THE RADIO.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 7: LISTEN TO THE RADIO. ——— Dressed in a knee-length sky blue gown, Idara danced outside in the very light rain, whirling and twirling with exceptional vigour and profound agility. She saw herself performing on stage in front of a relatively large audience, competing against other skilled dancers like herself. So far so good, she'd beaten many of her fellow competitors out of the big tournament and had gotten to the final round without breaking a sweat. But when her last opponent came out from behind the curtains, Idara was stunned as she saw that it was none other than Yomi, her very own incomparable sunflower, charging at her with an expressionless look on his face.  The moment he stood before her, the location changed from a wide, noisy hall to a quiet, spacious, adorned g

CHAPTER 8: HEARTBREAK ON A FULL MOON.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 8: HEARTBREAK ON A FULL MOON. ——— At nine o'clock on the dot, Candice stumbled into her dormitory with her high-heeled shoes in her hands. She also held several fancy plastic bags in the crooks of her long arms as she plopped down on a lower bunk, due to exhaustion. All of Candice's roommates started hailing her like their lives depended on it, all because of the tantalizing goodies which she brought back home.  “Welcome home, Sisi Eko. We all thought that you wouldn't return today.” Alice teased as she snatched one of the bags from Candice's arm for herself. “I trust you had fun with that rich yellow pawpaw guy, right?” “You bet!” Candice admitted dreamily, closing her eyes with her head inclined. “In fact, fun is a complete understa

CHAPTER 9: THE REQUEST.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 9: THE REQUEST. ——— Four days later. Sunday. 8:03 AM.  Dressed in a dark brown halter top and tight, faded shorts with a pair of clean black sneakers on her feet, Candice stood in a long queue of people waiting at a bus stop for the next transit bus. She was the last person on the line, and it angered her immensely because she had other places to be.  Yomi's crib, for example, was the first place on Candice's list. She wanted to pay him a surprise visit today before doing the same to her other boyfriends' houses. But the slow-moving queue was practically killing her and wasting her precious time.  Candice almost wished she could grow angelic wings to fly away from there, but she knew better than to wish for the impossible.

CHAPTER 10: ALL THE BEST.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 10: ALL THE BEST. ——— Yomi's smile faded at once. “What? Fifty thousand Naira? Jeez, that's one helluva huge amount of money, Candy.” “I know, babe.” Candice whispered, toying with Yomi's nipple with her thumb and index finger. “Trust me, I do. But I need it urgently, baby.” “What for?” “For my handouts and toiletries and blah blah blah.” Candice lied, feigning sadness. “I mean, I'm owing some people in my department who need their money back before this month ends. And that is the most worrisome part about this entire thing. I remember asking my older sister for help, like, three weeks ago or something, but she hasn't gotten back to me till date. In fact, she doesn't pick my calls anymore.&rdqu
