6. Am so so fed up

"Thank you..."Daisy said to the girl..., she sigh and look at her empty shelves again, she's losing customers because she hasn't been able to get new clothes to stock up her boutique.., what a bad decision she made when she spend everything she had saved on furnishing her house, Matthew had promise to give her the money, she was so stupid to believe him, he doesn't even have a dine to his name.....

She recount the little money she had sold and her mind revisit the cash in her bank account, both combined went be enough to get what she want for the boutique, she needs a loan but where the he hell would she get one...

When her boutique door slide open, she returned her gaze, a smile circle her lips when she saw her friend..Lily...

"You don't look happy..."Daisy said when she notice her Expression ..

Lily threw her bag and sat on the only chair in the boutique, her own omen washing through her face...

"What's wrong...?"Daisy asked

"Where did i ever go wrong....?"Lily snarled..

Daisy crunched to the floor to sit beside her..."What happened...?"

"Do you know when i left for home from your place yesterday, i met a girl in my house..."

Daisy eyes widen in surprise ..."Tony brought a girl home...?"

"He said she's his cousin.."

"Oh, that cousin shit.."

"That's what i thought..."

"So what did you do..?"

"I was angry, i wanted to drag that slut hair and drag her to hell ...., He hold me and carried me to the room and he showed me our wedding pictures, she was there beside Tony's mother..."

"So you really think she's his cousin...?"

"Hell no i don't..."

"So what did you do..?"

Lily took a pause to take a breathe..."He asked me to apologise..."

"Apologise...!, he asked you to apologise to his slut.., Jesus why are men this cruel and demonic.."

"I didn't want to, but then he promised to have sex with me if i apologise...."

"Ohh, Lily.."Daisy coos

Lily sniffled..."So i did, i apologise and she left.."

"So did he..?"Daisy shrug

The look on Lily's answered her question, he did not..

"He was hard and he was so ready to have sex with me..."

"Then what happened..."Daisy voice rumbled low..

"Daisy..."

They both shift their gaze to the door....

"Jesus Daisy, what happened to your store..."Laura blare out, her eyes moving from one scanty shelf to another...

"What do you think.."Daisy riposte ..."I spent every dine in furnishing that house..."

"Daisy, i told you that was a stupid move, you don't just spend money like that without any way of getting it back..."Laura said

"Hold on.."Lily chimes in..."Are you saying Matthew never gave it back.."

"He never did..."Daisy returned..."He's broke..."

"I thought he had a job.."Laura said picking up a shirt from the hanger..

"He works for his sister, who am very sure fired him since she chased out of her house. "

"Wait..."Said Lily...."He's been staying with his sister..?"

"I told you he's a sister's boy..."

"How old is Matthew again....?"Laura asked putting back the shirt in the hanger..

Daisy rolled her eyes but never gave an answer...."He came back last night to my house.."

"Who came back..?"Laura asked walking closer to them..

"Matthew.., and i stupidly let him in and then i find out he's been cheating on me..."

"Wo..!"Laura slack-jawed her mouth..

"Jesus, must all men be cheats..."Lily added in revulsion

"He saved a girl's name with paul.."Daisy stated, voice clipped with spite.

"You went through his contacts...?"Laura asked

"No she called.., and she said..'Hello baby, did i ride your dick so hard that you're so stressed out..., you left your underwear in my house'"

"Did you break up with him...?"Laura asked

"I did.. "She suck in not sure what she did was really break up..."I asked him to leave, but he refused, he said he owns the house as much as i do..."

"You own everything in that house..."Lily said...

"He paid the rent, he's standing on that, i don't want him living with me..."

"Will he leave if you return the rent...?"Lily asked.

"I think so, but i don't have that kind of money to pay him back..."

"How much are we talking about...?"

"210.."

"Jesus, that's on a high side..."

"Exactly, i don't have that kind of money, and if i do get that kind if money, I'll use it to restock my boutique before i lose every customer I've made.."

"I would have assist you girl..."Laura said, voice benign...."But Richard no longer gives me money, the only money i get are the change from food item money..."

"Richard is evil..."Lily snapped, voice engulf with resentment..."He asked you to leave your job with a good pay just to suffer you..., that man is a beast..."

"That's why am getting a divorce..."

"You're getting a divorce....?"Daisy reiterated..

Laura sigh before answering..."Yes..."

"Are you serious...?"Lily asked

"Am serious, am so tired of the way he treats me like am nothing, there is no day that goes by that he doesn't feed me insults and worse bruises.., girls am still too young and beautiful to be going through all that shit...., like you said Lily, Richard is a beast.."

"We know he's many things but have you really thought about this..."Daisy chimes in..

"Look at me Daisy, it's been almost two years since i got married to that brute, there is nothing to show for it, i have nothing to lose..."

"Divorce is not just something you jump into.."Daisy said.."Its...

"I can't do it anymore Daisy..."Laura blare out..."I just can't do it, i need to leave that man, if no man marries me after that, it's fine.., all men are the same anyway.."

"They aren't all brute..."Lily chimes in

"Still..."She raise her hands as if in surrender...."I've made my decision, am sending him the divorce papers after finalizing it with a lawyer.."

"Have you found a lawyer yet...?"Daisy asked

"No, but i will find soon..."

"You know girls..."Lily said..."I don't know where we went wrong to deserve these men, do you know my husband asked me if he can fùck me in the ass..."

"Jesus..."Daisy shouted in surprise

"Why would he ask that from you...?"Laura added

"I don't know, he knows fully well i want my own children, instead of fucking me in my vagina, he asked for my ass..., what kind of a married man does that..?"

"Did you agree to it...?"

"Hell no..., i will never consent to such, it's disgusting ...."

"Didn't you asked him why..?"Laura said

"He said he wants to play dirty.."

"Maybe he really wants to play dirty..."Said Daisy with nibbed lips..."You never can tell what men want.."

"That's disgusting.."Lily snarled, irritated by the thought

"Matthew and i did it once..."

"Matthew banged you in the ass..."Laura resounded

"It was once, i was on my period, so i allowed him bang me in the ass instead..."

"How was it..?"Laura asked curiously

"Painfully horrible i guess..."Lily sneer

"It wasn't entirely horrible, you feel pain at first, and then you start enjoying it..."

"Stop please..."Lily cut in...."It's disgusting.."

"Well maybe your husband just love banging women in the ass..."Daisy said jokingly but Lily reaction clearly states she didn't catch it...

"Did you talk to him about it...?"Laura asked

Flutters washed Lily's gut..."He didn't come home last night, i haven't seen him, i called and he said he's at work..."

"If he didn't come home, then where did he go....?"Daisy ask

"He got a call, his boss wanted an urgent meeting with them about some potential clients flying into the country this morning..."

"Atleast he told you.., Richard never tells me where he goes at night, and when he returns and i try to ask, one of us end up getting bruises..., my marriage has been a bundle of injuries, that's why i need this divorce, i need to feel myself again..."

"You should really think about this Laura.."Daisy said

"You'll never understand how i feel Daisy, am the one staying with that monster, that dog, when he barks, i get the bites, and when i try to bark back, i get more bites, am so tired of it, it's driving me crazy, i need to be rid of him before i go completely crazy....."

********************

Exhausted, Janet glance at the time, Jesus it was still 3:06PM and she actually thought it was almost closing time...., she sat down, she finally got time to rest after attending to multiple customers who were just tripping in non stop.....

She glanced at her phone to continue her chats from where she left off, she sigh as her eyes glazed the many notifications and messages she received within few minutes.., majority of it were guys that she wasn't even interested in chatting with.., she clicked on the ones she needs and ignored the rest....

The phone vibrates and an unknown number pop up at the top of the screen accompanied by her ringing tone....

She hesitated before answering the unknown number...

"Hello" she said...

She bit her lips, she shouldn't have answered first, it's not her style to speak first to numbers she isn't familiar with..

"Hi..."A male voice came in..

Janet flinch at the baritone voice..

"Remember me..?"He added

"No..."She said not even trying to think about it

"Kenny..., the guy at the pharmacy this morning..."

Janet rolled her eyes, she had completely forgotten she gave someone her number..."Hey..."she faked smile, if only he could see it

"Hey..."His voice came through..."How you doing..?"

"Am okay, how you doing..?"

"Not sure.."He said..."Am just here tingling at the sound of your voice.."

Janet almost laugh out loud, but she held it in, she didn't want to be weird..., wow look at him flirting with her over the phone...

"Really..."She stated awkwardly...

"Weird, isn't it...?"He asked

Janet flutter her eyebrows...

"I mean I've met you twice but yet, i can't get you off of my head..."

Janet smile and ask the obvious.."Are you flirting with me right now..?"

She heard him chuckle before his voice came up..

"No am not, just telling you how i feel.., am not just one that love keeping my feelings to myself but hope my confession doesn't ruin our outing tomorrow..."

Janet glance at Flora who kept whispering..."Who is that..."

"No..."Janet said

"Wo thank God..."He said..."For a moment i thought i ruined everything with my loud mouth..."

He laughed and Janet joined in the ridiculous laughter despite not finding it funny...

"So you still at work...?"He asked

"Yes..."

"When do you get off...?"

"8, that is if customers aren't still here..."

"Should i come pick you up..?"

She smile and scratch her hair...."You own a car...?"

The question sounded silly, but she was damn curious...

"Yes, i own a car.."

A swoon swept across her face, he own a car and Barry doesn't even own a motorcycle....

"So should i..?"He asked again

She blushed...."Hmm..., i don't know..."

Jesus, she badly wants to say yes, she has always fantasised someone with a car to be picking her up from work..., and her golden fantasies is here staring at her in the face...

"I will come.."He said..."I'll love to drive you home.."

Against her better judgement, she said...."Okay..."

*******************

Daisy didn't look happy after paying the food seller with the last five hundred naira in her purse...., she shouldn't be sad, she intentionally spent it all on the banga rice, but she couldn't help it, the only money on her now was just her transport home, she prays Matthew doesn't finish everything in the kitchen before she get back home...

When she lower her eyes, she saw a wallet on the floor, she look around, when she saw Noone, she picked up the wallet.., before now, she doesn't pick things from the ground but as it stands, she needs money and she is temporarily single...

When she glance inside, her heart almost burst out of her chest..., she let her eyes count the dollars inside, who is stupid enough to misplaced a wallet of dollars on the road....

She look around again to see if anyone was looking at her..., she took another glance at the wallet, her conscience pricking her to ask around if anyone misplaced a wallet...

"Oh God..."She mutter, totally confused...
