      With his legs caked in dust, Ebube slopes forward with the day earnings with him, a brown towel around his neck though sweat moistened it more. Humming loudly a melodious tune, he swirled, snapping his fingers hard as he swirls again. With his face beaming with smiles he adjusted his yellow cap as he walked along the muddy road.

       No doubt that the day was indeed great as he swirled hastingly with his legs ladened with dust.

      It was dusk! After the tiresome daily routine at the garage, home was the best place to go, the best confidant to turn to.

         "no place like home, "Ebube muttered.

      Even though home happens to be a one room apartment with everything clogged and cramped. Home is still home.

        "This week has given out more than expected. " Ebube smirked remembering the day's hustle and bustle, the shock and appalling look his face wore as his boss handed over to him one thousand naira note jerked him to a mirthful action. Since then he had been humming loudly only to himself.

        Njikwa ego they say (Money controls they say)it does indeed. he wondered

         Walking along the muddy road a siren jerked him into action as it did blared and made him trip as he jumped over to the other side of the road, splashing on him, mud water.

        "why do men act this way, onweghi onye ma echi (no one knows tomorrow)I will surely be an owner of cars in the future. I will be but I will never splash water on people. " cursed Ebube fiddling the one thousand naira note in his hands as he walk in haste to their one room apartment

Clogged
Cramped
But home
Sweet home!

                      ***********

           Samantha took a cursory look at the menu card in her hands as she smiled when she cited spaghetti bolongnaise.

      " That will definitely be better. " she nodded

        In her red velvet gown, dazzling and resplendent, she could pass for a beauty queen as she sat confidently though her mind wandered far away. She tossed and fiddled her red purse on the table as she waits for her order.

          Another day at the Beadens will definitely drive her out of the I'm tired with life situation. It was weekend,her work with RITEL communication and information company never deprived her of a wonderful weekend to herself. She watched silently as the waiter in white and navy blue uniform gestured and  gracefully settled down her order.

     "Ma'am, any other order? "said the waiter , beaming.

      They might as well been ordered to always smile and create a inter-personal and well communication theory with the customers.

     "No,I'm okay with this, I will call for you if am in need of any other thing, "

      "Okay ma'am, " the waiter complied as he ushered in some customers to a different table.

         Picking up the cutleries, she sighed.
"  a whole day to her self alone,free from outbursts  and Chris's craziness she should always crave for this. "
she thought

       "Hey beautiful, about to render justice to that right?" a bubbling but coarse voice asked, Samantha shook. Behold, tall and muscular in blue striped shirt and black trousers, his upper button had it opened with buttons apart, he had his shirt sleeves rolled up though but this gracious aura and carriage he commands.

      " And I guess words are lost and you are lost in the town of muteness? "

     "Young man,do I know you? "She answered .

     Samantha stared wildly as she watched this man laugh hysterically.

  " And I finally stirred you into action, you ve got a pretty voice too. A pretty face with a pretty voice. Two pretties, " he smirked more, settling down on the other side beside Samantha Benson signalling to another waiter to place his order.

       Samantha watched more confusingly, another craziness to be dealt with!

     " Can't weekends be stress-free and enjoyed? " chorused Samantha Benson.
      " Says who, Here I am enjoying mine.. I definitely won't agree to that my lady. "

     "At the expense of disrupting someone's else? "

     "Disrupting is a wrong word darling, I disagree. "

     With appallment Samantha sighed, her gaze on this rash and pokey nosey man who had no respect for privacy, whose intrusion was as conceited and Curt as he, himself.

       "Get me vodka, I've got no appetite, I'm okay with that man." he spoke to the waiter who stood,waiting to have his order written and delivered. He bashed  his legs and stumped on the ground like one who sighted a deadly and poisonous ant on the ground.This scenario, Samantha watched angrily.

       "Hey beautiful mind my manners, I'm Tobi Bernard, Hot guy. Handsome guy in this crib we call the world. " he chorused, raptly he talked and rattled off like a rapper who enters the studio to showcase his talent and skills.

         "Handsome! And there is someone really succeeding at deceiving you, I guess ,"

  " Yeah...Handsome! Noticed that too right? It's vivid and clear dear"

   "Absolutely! " scorned Samantha Benson as she worked on her order.

    " Whoops! A ring? You know I once know of a lady who has this fiancee who's nt ready for marriage, he gave excuses when the tie the knot issue is being raised up and boom to keep men from giving her troubles, she Wore This ring ...and where was I?I dreamt of that, it never really happened. "
     " And how do I come into this? Do your dreams reckon with mine? "retorted Samantha

      " Hey lady, lost your bashful manners already? So did he really proposed or are you that lady in my dream? I have this feeling I will meet her, some day."he said as he sipped his vodka with his shirt sleeves rolled up.

     "And you think I will sit here and listen to you pry into my affairs when you just came with your disruption fifteen minutes ago. I'm not ready for this, this noon. "

     Stumping out of the Beadens, Samantha Benson shivered with fear.
      Dashing out of craziness and falling into another! that was the last thing on earth she could ever venture into
she thought.

       A flickering glow glistened Toby's face as he sighted the red purse being left on the table. He smirked fancifully. Another pretty lady to be won. With this, was he dexterous. His feats have proven him to be though, and here he was again. Another one to thrill, another one to enthrall.
      " This is definitely,a good catch Mehn! "he smirked
