Two Wrongs...(Pt 2)





Please read the first part of the story by clicking THIS LINK



On a Saturday morning, Mathew left for work and as usual dropped money for food with his wife. He always gave her more than enough but he wasn't scared that she would save up and run away because she hardly knew how to manage money. She would always squander it in buying clothes, although he never thought of who those clothes were meant for impressing because it sure wasn't him.
       He had been gone for about an hour and wasn't going to be back for another 7 or more hours. As usual his wife had brought her lover over to the house for their usual mid afternoon rump which she had missed for a while now. This was happening more frequently because their office was going through some renovations and their departments where greatly affected so they had to stay home for a week or two.  They had all the time to meet up and seeing that Daniel was married to a house wife that was always at home, they couldn't do it in his house. Daniel had only gotten back from his travel a week ago and she was dying to see him again. Even though they had seen and engaged in their lustful acts a couple of times after he came back, she couldn't get enough of him just yet. They were still sitting at the living room and before they could start she was already feeling the rush of blood down in her genitals and she felt her organ below throbbing in anticipation. She paid no attention to his words as he spoke, she just wanted to have him.

Mathew was a couple of blocks away when his boss called and reminded him of the meeting that they had with the foreign investors in the company that very morning. He reassured his boss that he was well prepared and just to make sure he quickly went over his files to be sure he had everything he needed. However he discovered that he had forgotten an essential document, he quickly looked at his watch, calculated the time it will take him to retrieve the documents and decided to head back for it. He turned his car around quickly and started speeding faster than usual towards the house to grab the document and make it back on time...

Two Wrongs...



He pushes her on the cotton sheets and she lands with a soft thud as the dun-lop mattress masks the intensity of the fall. He climbs on top her and she hears the sound of her skirt as its ripped from her waist. She thinks about struggling but just lays and stares at him, he pays her no attention. He undoes his trousers fly, slips his stud into her and starts going at it without any intention of giving pleasure, he concentrates only on receiving the pleasure instead.
      She looks away from him in disgust to her right as the force of his movements pushes her body back and forth on the queen sized bed. She closes her eyes and forces the tears that are building up back in, she is tired of struggling with him all the time that this has to happen. She bites the nail on her index finger in anger and looks to the ceiling. He glances over at her and as he maintains his back and fort motion on top of her, he wonders why she isn't putting up a fight today. Sweat drops from his fore head and explodes into tiny and vanish quickly into invisible drops as they impact on her left shoulder one by one. He smiles to himself, in his mind he has won her, he has succeeded in showing her who's stronger. But the thought doesn't last for more than half a second, all he is concentrated on for now is receiving pleasure. He thinks about it for another second, It's been eight years into their marriage and she had stopped fighting, she had learnt how to obey her master. He was proud of himself. He again acknowledges his strength and pumps harder.

Stories of deceptive looks: Iyke the barber

 



        I walked into the shop and took a seat then quickly glanced around to observe my surrounding. The shop was as lively as ever with people walking in and out every 2 minutes or less. The air was filled with a lemon fragrance that had a strange relaxing effect on me. On the LG plasma TV that suspended on the wall, an action movie was being shown and I recognized the movie as Marine by John Cena. Come to think of it, anytime  a move was showing in that shop it was always an action movie. I looked around for the young man that always gave me my haircut but couldn't find him. I went over to ask the barber that was present where he went to and he said that he(my barber) left for the market not long ago. I looked around at all the people that came before me for a haircut and my hope dropped. It seemed like Iyke (the barber) read my mind and restored my hope when he smiled and told me not to worry that I was next. I had known Iyke for a while now but he had never touched my hair before but I was willing to risk it. As I went back and took a seat, I glanced up at him to observe him a little more.

A Short Story: Mr Allen's Turmoil 2




Please Read Part 1 HERE

Years passed and he had bought himself a car, a land, was building a house and was really a celebrity in his state. He was planning on surprising his girlfriend with a huge dream wedding and had added to his online shopping basket, a huge diamond engagement ring. Allen had big plans for the near future. He had forgotten his self discipline that kept his notorious acts at a moderate level. The need to impress was increasing and it wasn't long before he felt he needed to up his game and impress a little more. So he kept taking and taking from the company with the amount increasing each time.

A week after one of his directors occasional visit, he was at it again and really living his star like lifestyle. Life couldn't be better at that point, at least up until the point his phone rang and the caller I.D said "Director".

A short Story: Mr Allen's Turmoil



     
     Alright so picture this, let's use a fictional character and name him Allen. So Allen works at a very popular company in the state that he resides. Everybody around him, family, friends, girlfriends and members of the society know this company and know that the company is worth billions. So when Allen was employed as the manager, he was expected to earn some serious cash and of cos act accordingly. Now Allen got into the company only to discover that the amount that they pay isn't up to half of what he though in his mind. If he thought they were going to be paying him about 300 grand monthly, he was being paid 50 grand each month.

Story: The Utility man

     

       So on Friday of this previous week, I was out with a couple of friends, we decided to go have a little sit out and listen to good music. While we were out, we met different people with different mentalities carrying on with their different lives but generally having fun.  But one particular character caught my eye in the crowd. He was a little below average in height, a rough beard, in his 30's and was really under-dressed for this particular joint. I mean, you know how you look around in a joint and you see people dressed with their different choices of clothes, gowns, dresses, hoodies, lumber jack shirts, cooperate shoes and shirts, sneakers, moccasins,timberland boots, high heels and many more. You get the gist...Just generally well dressed regardless of their fashion sense of personal choice for the evening. Or even if someone wasn't dressed good, it wasn't due to lack of trying. Well this particular man stood out of the crowd in his shirt that had an image of 2pac, the shirt was faded and you could tell that it was between 5 to 15 years old or more old and had seen better days. His three-quarter shorts weren't any better, it was bought a different color that I couldn't make out at the time but through the years had turned into a deep brown and was seriously stained with grease. Moving lower to his choice of footwear, his leather sandals had the buckle of the left foot missing, that left it unfastened and it slapped against his ankle with each step he took but he looked like he didn't care.

My friend Sam

     
 
I have a friend who has this very lovely lady as his girlfriend and companion. Although he hasn't tied the knot yet, he plans on doing that soon enough. You see this my friend has always been very possessive of his girlfriend, but not overly possessive. He just never wants to see her get hurt. He tells her what to do and what not to do. Where to go and where not to go and people to befriend and not to befriend.He just makes this as a suggestion and tries his best not to force it on her, although there are times when he does this without knowing but they sort it out quickly and make up. Now his lady being a couple of years younger than him, would love to listen to him but the rebellious nature and spirit of adventure in her plus a dash of thirst for freedom wouldn't let her pay him her mind, all the time. He knew he didn't have a right to hold her back but didn't know how else to go about it. All he knew was that he wanted to protect his woman from any kind of harm.
      One day I was asleep and my phone rang by 11:30 p.m, I looked at the caller I.D and it was Samuel, I grunted and hit the volume button on my phone to silence the call and turned around to continue my sleep. As I was drifting back into my dreams the phones ringtone echoed loud again, I could have sworn it was even louder this time, perhaps I pressed the top volume button and had increased the volume.

Q&A: Is Music Really Destroying the younger ones?




Mr Kalu

Q:  So last two Sundays I was in the church and the pastor started preaching about something that got me thinking. He was speaking against music and that it is very devilish. He told us that we should stop listening to music with head phones. How it annoys him seeing a youth walking around with he's headphones in he's ear. That the music hypnotizes us and makes us commit all sorts of bad acts. I found this hard to believe. I mean how is it that suddenly the music I am used to listening to would turn around and make me go and commit something that I wouldn't do on a normal day.  Mr Ralph, your two cents?

Good deeds are contagious




  This video really taught me a whole lot, you have got to watch it. One of my favorite videos and I have decided to share it with you people.
  Do you see the way each person is touched by what the previous person did and just feels the need to do something for the next person. Even if you do not know it, someone could learn from something you do today.

Try a little kindness, influence others in a positive way. Be a symbol of good deed. Make the world a better place one person at a time.

The beginning is always harder




         I got some sense talked into me just recently. Let me share a little experience I had two days ago with you guys.
          I opened this blog on October 2nd 2014 which was just last month beginning. I make sure to put something on it everyday to keep my readers interested. But my main aim has always been to help people out and coupled with the fact that I love writing. So I do my best to help people out as much as I can while knowing that I will never have all the answers to all the questions. I keep on trying my best to at least show that I care and hope that even if I don't solve a persons problems that my show of care would help. If you notice about two days ago I slowed down a little and put up only 3 posts. But what you all don't know is that I was almost giving up.

True passion





       I always talk about persistence and determination when speaking to people and trying to inspire them to keep pushing for what they want. But I can never overestimate the importance of true passion. The true love and appreciation in actually doing what you really genuinely love doing. I just have to share with you all a particular song that really taught me a lot, from the lyrical contents to the displays on the video. The song is called "Remember the name" by Fort Minor.

My two angels



       ....She took slow and deep breaths and felt the rush of air make its way through her nostrils and up to her head, the evening was quite silent as everybody had gone out and she was alone at home, her silky long hair had seen better days, it was scattered, unkempt and hung in front of her face but she made no effort to path it for a clearer vision, what was the use? It didn't matter anymore at her present condition. Her black dress, her favorite black dress from a long time ago was stained red with blood that had dried up a while ago.

Life shouldn't always be serious


"Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it to be" - Eckhart Tolle


Obiora, my friend from junior secondary really knew how to light a place up with he's never ending enthusiasm. At times you would actually think he was crazy because of he's reaction to things.
       I remember once when our intro-tech test results came out in J.S.S 2, I scored a 5 out of 30 and he scored a 7 (I can't really remember the exact figures but we flunked ). He had the broadest smile on he's face while I was already looking to the ceiling and calculating the strokes that I was going to receive from the teacher.

Who was she chatting with?



      ....I was seating in the living room putting on nothing but my 3-quarter shorts and a punk leather bracelet I was fond of. The TV was on but I was paying no attention to it as I was lost in thought, remembering what had happened the previous day. Yesterday Evening I came back late from work and my girlfriend never bothered to come give me my usual welcome kiss,I suspected nothing at first and walked into the room, she didn't notice my presence, she was looking good as usual laying there on the bed with her face glued to the screen of her phone. I observed that she was wearing her make-up and it seemed unusual for someone that was home throughout the day. Anyway I called to her "hey babe, how was your day? no kiss for moi?" She was laying with her front to the bed, torso elevated and supported by her elbows with two hands on the phone, I could see a smile from the side of her face directed at her screen and she simply swung her hand backwards and waved at me without even turning around to look at me, she didn't make a sound either. I frowned and leaned on my right leg to get a view of what was on her screen but couldn't see it clearly. What was she doing with her phone?

Jealousy...It's okay once in a while



            Did you ever as a guy experience that girlfriend that gets up from her seat that was right beside yours in a public gathering, walks over to you and goes "Honey I want to sit on your leg" because another cute girl had been staring at you from a distance. Or that guy that says "Okay baby I will be waiting for you" with the "Baby" made noticeably audible when an old male friend of yours that is good looking stops to greet you with an embrace in public, I know I am personally guilty of this one.

Labeling is for clothes not people


   I was listening to the song "I am not my hair" by India Arie earlier when the idea of this post came to me. Many times we have been called names and  labeled things we know deep inside that we aren't. The big people are called lazy, the skinny people are anorexic, you dress good they say you are a show off and when you are open minded and confident you are called proud.  Follow me and click the link below and let me share a very short story with you guys...

Senior Man

  I just want to try my hand out a little on free writing. So here goes..

    So I was out of town for a couple of days on some business, and on my return I had an urgent need to run into the polo park shopping complex in Enugu to pick up a couple of toiletries that had run out. I stopped by at the phone shop to check if the price of the Samsung galaxy S5 had dropped, it had but who am I kidding, I still can't afford it even at the new reduced price. Anyway I swallowed my disappointment and continued to Shoprite,
