Love in devilish places - Episode 2

 

"Love gives no room for hate. If he hates your flaws but claims to love you. Dear sister give him the red card. 

#Talktotania #Stickwithmyflaws #relatesureships."

Tania tweeted her first advice for the day. Ticking off the column for Talktotania she moved on to the next item on her schedule.

Contact Clara

Clara was her M.D for TaniasApparrel. In a country like this having two to three jobs secured your place among the elites as well as your worth profit.

The red light on her tablet came on and she took a sneak peek to see fifty one retweet, three hundred comments and five hundred likes in three minutes after her first tweet . The #stickwithmyflaws would be the talk of the town for a while.

She smiled as the voice on the other end spoke. "Morning Clara."

The ride to her island office wasn't a pleasant one. Lagos traffic was one of the reasons she loved jetting out of the country at any given opportunity. Had it not been for the loss of her father three years ago she would have relocated to the states last year. Heaven knows her mother would go into a fit if she got wind of her Chicago experience.

"Good lord," she muttered

. She had neither seen nor heard from the young Caucasian after that night. Such an episode was one thing she'll never like a replay of.

Singing along to Jaywon's hit making money this year playing on her car radio, her smile grew broad as she thought of her new deal. Bankole's Signature was increasing in the stock exchange rates with new branches springing forth all over.
Her father would be so proud of her. She had managed to rescue the dying company from closing after the last shipment was lost. The incident which led to the death of her father.

"If we no get money wetin we gain wetin we gain." She shakes her head vigorously, singing off tune to the latest hit track in the country, Victor AD was making her day already. "If we no.. argghh!!" she protested as the song was just an intro for the OAP now on air.

"Good morning and compliments of the season my dear listeners. It's your host Barrister Maxwell on your number one relationship law and order show Flaming Flames."

"Urghh!!" she grunted. Flaming flames was just another show to make men feel extra domineering. "Beast lord." she hissed changing the channel.

Fortunately she was few minutes away to from office and resorted to switching off the radio completely. "Beast lord." she cursed again parking in her designated parking lot.

She alighted graciously inhaling the wonderful scent that came after the rain, it always soothed her. Ensuring her car was locked she stepped away from her beauty. The red sedan Deville was her latest baby and she enjoyed the glance many threw her way. Some taking quick snapshot as the building's entrance door slid open. Being a celebrity had it specs but being a relationship coach made her a mini goddess.

It was another cool evening in Bode Thomas Street, Lagos. The rain had surprised all by falling twice that day, perfect time for the men to hangout at bars to steam off while listening to Flaming Flames uninterrupted.

"Hello Barr. Max on the line who am I speaking with?"

"Hello this is Dewale Davies." the caller sounded elated.

"Hey D.D what's up? Long time no call, I guess you've thrashed out everything thrashable on your end," Barr. Max laughed at his favorite caller introduction.

"Yes o. All thanks to you bro. I followed your advice to the latter and now I've got law and order in my relationship."

"Good one bro, good one. Nice to her from you D.D. We hope to get out invitations sooner than later." He laughed knowing what's to come.

"Ah! Bro calm down first. You'll know what's up."

"Okay D.D, bye for now." He laughed taking a sip out of his tea mug. "To all listeners out there I hope you give me a feedback on how Flaming Flames has helped instill law and order in your relationships. For now let's enjoy this wonderful piece by Simi." He closed the lines letting Simi's Yellow Yellow thrill his listeners.

He returned to the booth after two songs, the show was now fifteen minutes to a close and he couldn't wait to get home to his library. He had bookmarked a page on his current read, Partners, John Grisham was always the read for the day.

"Welcome back to your number one relationship law and order show, Flaming Flames. I'm your host Barrister Maxwell and we are about wrapping up for the day. But before we go I'd like to read a tweet or two from you my favorite listeners. This is from Angry Mike." he laughed. "What a name!

Barr. Max what's your say on the #stickwithmyflaws currently trending on social media. It appears that @Talktotania is prepared to undo everything you've soiled for on your show.

Oh Angry Mike, now I can relate with your choice of name. Well sir I've seen the ruckus created by the trending hastag and my advice to you all has always and will always be the same. If you can't stick, you flip. There's no harm looking the other when your woman expect you to be all understanding. It's great if you can cope but if you can't stick with it you don't have to live with it, move on my guy."

Max saw his boss giving him a round up signal. Nodding in response he rushed to conclude the show. "Second message is from Bolaji and ehm.. It's quite lengthy." He looked at his boss for permission to go on. "It read thus:

Dear Barr. Max,

I've been an ardent listener of your show and I must confess it's helped me find my feet not just in my relationship but also in life as well.

I've experienced a series of breakups from daddy's girls and local chicks alike, especially from daddy's girl but nothing as interesting as my current relationship. After a session of talks with my girl as you suggested we came to an agreement to cool off for sometime.

Fortunately this opened our eyes to things we couldn't see as a couple and now we're back together for good. I've learnt to contain my anger even when pushed to the wall and my girl finally understands the need for 'the talk' once in a while.

Thanks Barr. For making our dreams come true. I slid a ring down her finger last Thursday and this time I'm heading for the altar for real. Will inform you when it's time.

Thanks Barr. Maxwell, thanks Flaming Flames. You saved my neck.

_Bolaji

Wow I'm really happy for you Bolaji and so does the entire crew of Creative F.M. To all our listeners out there, remember to keep it a date with us same time same station next week. Don't forget your show is now slated for Friday evening only. From Creative F.M we say have a wonderful night rest and enjoy the rest of the weekend."

Unfortunately not everyone were in the bar that night, some were indoors listening to Flaming Flames. An emotional deranged lady was literally puffing smokes out of her head.

Pacing round the house she threw a glass cup at the framed picture opposite her bed shattering it instantly.
"You'll pay for this." she screamed, having listened to Flaming Flames just to validate the tip she got on Bolaji.

He was really getting married to another person, the fool had called her a daddy's girl and she'll show him who a daddy's girl was. But first she had to deal with that barrister.

He was a barrister but he had nothing compared to the power her father had. She was a daddy's girl and she'll show them how a daddy's girl truly behaved.

I'd love to know who your favorite character is, Tania or Maxwell?
Thank you for reading.
