CHAPTER 13: A BIG MISTAKE.

—
On his entry into the well-known Shop 39, Yomi looked around for a few seconds before spotting his girlfriend at a table with a very handsome guy. Yomi was instantly baffled, because Idara was the actual person he expected to see, not his super-duper hot partner chilling with another gorgeous man.
A strong feeling of betrayal tore through him as he stood still, watching Candice making merry with the man unlike she'd ever done with him. In fact, she looked so happy and full of life in the man's presence that Yomi began to wonder who exactly he was to her.
Maybe a secret lover? Maybe an ex-boyfriend? Perhaps, just a friend?
Yomi couldn't tell, but he certainly needed answers real soon, and he wasn't going to get them while standing t

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDSAuthor: Sam FreddyCHAPTER 14: A SAD LOSS.———Calmly chewing a bubble gum, Candice walked into a white bungalow with two armed men—one ahead of her, and the other behind her. Both men were dressed in black outfits, smoking weed like nobody's business.Judging from the way Candice walked and spoke freely with them, one could easily tell that she'd known these not-too-nice-looking men for a long time, and that she was someone dear to them.Anyway, on arriving at the parlor, Candice saw the main person whom she came looking for: Mr. Eli Pablo, the big, bad boss himself. Of course, the boss was very happy to see Candice, and his excitement showed through the way he hugged her so tight that it was all she could do to not choke.Gladly, Mr. Eli released Candice and offered her a seat,

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDSAuthor: Sam FreddyCHAPTER 15: A BLOODY NIGHTMARE.———Heartbreak.Complete heartbreak was what Idara felt when Isioma was shot dead in her presence about thirty minutes ago. She'd never in her life witnessed a murder before, except for the ones she'd seen in movies—especially documentaries and fast-paced action films.Seeing it in real life was an entirely different ball game for Idara.Sobbing, Idara glanced at Isioma's blood on the wall and on the ground and wished they'd killed her instead. Even though she knew for a fact that she was next in line to be killed, she truly wished she was the first person that died rather than Isioma.Poor Isioma definitely didn't deserve to die for such petty reason. If Idara could take her place or bring her back to l

Her eyes were solely fixated on Yomi, who sat three rows before her seat, having so much fun with his friends.Apparently, Yomi was surrounded by some fine babes who were hopelessly drooling over him, and Idara didn't want to interrupt their conversation by walking up to Yomi to apologize for her wrongdoing, so she decided to wait instead until he was all alone, even though it might take forever.At last — after twelve minutes to be exact — the ladies left, and Yomi took up his bag and got up to head out of the lecture hall. That was when Idara made her move.“Yo, Yomee!”&ldquo

She was particularly glad to see Isioma in good health, and thus took longer in embracing her while whispering “Thank you, God!” over and over again.Although Isioma was somewhat puzzled by Idara's actions, she didn't say anything silly or awkward to ruin the moment. Instead, she just assumed that Idara missed her so much, as she embraced her back.With all said and done, the trio went into Yomi's car to vibe and chill.“Where's Yomi?”“He went to print something at a cafe,” Idara answered Anastasia. “He'll be back

Why? Because the lady was none other than Candice, and she wasn't alone. She was holding hands with a bald-headed, thin man while they both chatted cheerfully in front of a big bookshop. And also because Candice had personally told him that she'd be absent in school during the day, because she had to do some photoshoots for a modelling agency, and then perform a makeover for a distinguished client of hers at a private spar later on.‘Goodness gracious! Is this what she meant by all of that? That she'd be hanging out with some tall, hairless man right

As planned, Tayo and Yomi were the ones who brought the others with their cars, so basically they all arrived there together.Presently, the time was 1:30 PM, and everyone had changed into their beach clothes. With everyone ready, Yomi suggested that they should all play a game of building sand castles individually. As expected, everyone else bought the idea, and then they all got to work almost immediately.While crafting her sand castle, Idara received a light pat on her back from Tayo. She faced him and smiled with glee. “Don't laugh. I personally know it's trash. You don't have to remind me.&rdq

Clearly, something wasn't right about such kind act from Candice of all people, and Idara was well aware of that fact, but she had to accept the tea regardless, because Yomi's eyes were also on her, carefully watching her every move.“Come on, Idara, take a sip and tell us how it tastes.” Candice said, still smiling sweetly. “Pretty please?”“Candice,” Isioma called out sharply before Idara could do anything stupid, “why don't you drink it instead and let us know how it tastes, huh?”“Oh, sure

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDSAuthor: Sam FreddyCHAPTER 21: LOVE IS BLIND.———Skipping lectures had become a habit for Yomi ever since he met Candice, but he didn't care though. To him, if spending time with her would make him happy, then it was totally worth it.Today being Monday, Yomi was busy driving on a freeway with Candice by his side, who apparently had no idea where he was taking her to since he refused to reveal their destination. However, one thing she knew for sure was that every trip with Yomi always ended up super-duper cool. So, basically, she had no cause for alarm, except for the fact that her patience was running out gradually, due to the long duration of the ride.Groaning, Candice glanced at her smartphone's screen and said, “Ain't we there yet? It's twelve o'clock already.”“

Friday. 9:00 AM.Ebony Millennium Cemetery, Lagos, Nigeria.Undoubtedly, today was a sad day for Yomi's loved ones. It was his funeral, and sorrow filled the air of the venue like a thunderstorm. His parents, friends, neighbours and colleagues were all present at the ceremony to honour him, and it wasn't easy for any of them to be here in this cemetery, especially with the sight of Yomi's corpse which laid in a grand casket on a small podium that had a lot of his portraits all over it.Unlike many African funerals, this occasion was a small and simple one hosted by Yomi's family. He was so close to his parents when he was alive to the point that he felt comfortable talking to them about anything and ever

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 42: GOODBYE. — — — It is said that just before one dies, their whole life flashes before their very eyes, and that was almost the case for Yomi tonight. He should've died after taking that pill, but somehow, he opened his eyes and found himself on a sick bed, right next to his friends who surrounded him with gloomy faces. Despite his blurry vision, he could pinpoint the four people in the room, which were Tayo, Danladi, Isioma and Idara, who sat right beside him on the bed with her head down, worried, while the rest of them sat on their respective chairs and had their eyes fixated elsewhere, apparently worried too, judging from the silence in the room. The only thing that could be heard was the constant beeping of the machine that was connected to Yomi's wrist to monitor his heart

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDSAuthor: Sam FreddyCHAPTER 41: HOMICIDE.———Furiously, Yomi pulled over to the roadside and hopped out of his car. He'd just arrived in Candice's street, and he had just one intention as he headed straight to her apartment, which wasn't going to favour her in any freaking way. Not at all.He heard loud music booming from the inside as he knocked on her door, and due to that, it took a little while for her to open up for him, and she was utterly stunned when she saw him at her doorstep at ten o'clock at night.However, at first sight, Yomi found Candice's appearance very ridiculous. She was dressed in a baggy shirt with no underwear — he could tell by the way her nipples poked at him like spikes and from the outlines of her nether regions — and she was a complete mess right now: her hair w

He'd abandoned Candice there, and instead of going home directly, he went to a bar to have a couple of drinks, and now he was seated in his car, somewhat tipsy, battling with his worries again.How on Earth could he be HIV positive? How did he let this happen? He still had a long way to go in life and he didn't need this at all. Thinking about the impact it would have on his health in a couple of years to come scared him to the bone. He couldn't imagine the virus metamorphosing into AIDS and wrecking his system down, bit by bit, until he was skinny enough to be compared to a skeleton, or probably die from its drastic effect on his health.

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDSAuthor: Sam FreddyCHAPTER 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

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDSAuthor: Sam FreddyCHAPTER 38: THE BIG NEWS.———Panting heavily, Yomi barged into Candice's ward and saw her lying on the sick bed, her cheeks swollen like a balloon. Although she wasn't unconscious, she couldn't talk, mainly because the memory of the earlier occurrence kept playing over and over in her mind, making her shed tears on the spot. She'd never been humiliated like that in her entire life. The shame was just too much for her to shoulder alone.Yomi — who was at work when he received a call from a stranger who had informed him about the incident and had left all what he was doing to come here — stood before Candice, baffled by her unlikely appearance. Not only was her face red with bruises all over her hands and legs — most of which were covered in bandages — but she also reeked of egusi soup

#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.”

She had a big smile on her face, which prompted Mike to ask, “It's about time! So how did it go?”“Well, it seems I won't be having any more trouble from Mr. Rochas, pal.” Isioma reported, pocketing her sunshades. “The big bad wolf has surrendered, miraculously.”“Aha! You see? I told you my plan would work!&rdqu

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
