The Run Series
Episode 14

Chioma, 52

Our 14th Episode in the Run Series

It was a slow Thursday and I called and convinced her to jabó work. I could tell she was apprehensive. Great girl and a tough career Executive like her, to miss work and follow man, on a Thursday…

Her worry only made her appear even more sexy to me. A girl that’s as driven and successful as her in a male dominated tech field can only be just as passionate in other areas - fingers crossed.

We had a great time buka hopping all over Lagos Island and finally ended up back at that ice cream place in the hotel on Ozumba.

Contrary to the tough Executive exterior, and my Ambassador status, we were like teenagers in the ice cream shop.

A moment of sadness flashed through my mind when I thought back to Nkechi and I, and Ices Parlor in Surulere, that was like a hundred years ago… all those good years we shared before our marriage careened off the rails into the inferno of a most bitter divorce that it is today.

Hmmm.  Who would have thought? Nkechi and I were like Siamese twins back in those days - through our Uni in the 90’s, everyone knew us on the social circuit…

And now, while the kids and I talk every now and then, Nkechi and I haven’t said a civil word, if at all, to each other in almost 8 years.

But here, in the now, with this giggling Bisi tugging at my sleeves, my reverie is broken and I can’t believe my luck that I get to be a teenager again.

God, I thank you for a second chance!

On the ride home to hers, I put on that 90’s mixtape DjBiso made for me; the one with a wicked ‘twist’ at the end - and I was happy to see her singing along. Funny thing, she said she’d been listening to 90’s music all week. Great Minds…

The Run Series Episode 13 … Bisi, 50 My son was home for the mid terms. I can’t believe he’s only been gone for a month. Oh! How I missed him so… He’s so tall now. And confident. And mature. And maybe even too mature. _lol_. Just this morning when we had our weekend call, he was asking me who sent me flowers for valentines. And why I go out every night to take a certain call around 8pm. Wo, this boy should let me rest Jo. His father left years ago, and his older brother is off to Canada for college. Now, after 5 years of him away in boarding school, and me all alone in this town, someone has finally shown up to deal with my walls and my defenses. How do I explain to this boy that now, in this matter of love and emotions and valentines and flowers, I’m just as clueless as he is? I’m not even sure if this man pursued me. One day, he’s my client and we’re chatting, the next, he’s sending me lunch and we’re meeting up for dinners and movie dates, and now my world revolves around him! Thoug...

Temidire - The Run Series/DjBiso

After a long hiatus Here’s the 9th in our Run Series Enjoy Temidire - 42 Indeed it has been a while that I have felt this way. So much energy bristling through me. Gbogbo ara mi ti dide! Gbenga has really got my nose wide open! He was so attentive. He was so kind. Patient and generous. And it might the hormones talking, but it felt like he wanted to take it further… I have thought of nothing but him since our chance meeting earlier today. I mean, we had communicated online for the longest time and flirted carefully, as married adults often do, but I was secure in the comfort that he was in Abuja and I was in London, and Corona - being the prophylactic that it has become, would make it impossible for us to be together. But alas… Corona, it is both a curse and cure. Uncle Tunze had contracted it from God-Knows-Where - that man will not stay in one place, and as his favourite niece, I had offered to come down and spend some time with him during post-recovery.  It was a lot of things f...
