The Secret Diaries 15



   Daniel lived alone, that was a known fact…
but there was someone in the house…someone new. A lady to be precise. She was sitting on one of the couches in the living room…facing the TV. She had on a really short nightie. She looked like she wasn’t expecting to see me.
“Who are you?” she said as she got up.
Daniel bumped into me before I could reply.
“Damn, did you fall asleep on your feet Bibi? What about…” he started to say but I never found out the rest. He stopped still as soon as he saw the third party.
“Where have you been, Daniel?” the third party asked. She seemed to be the only one in the room that couldn’t stop still.
“You were supposed to be back two weeks ago.” She continued, then moved to give him a hug. 



  Daniel recovered then.
“What are you doing here?” he asked her but not before stealing a glance at me.
“I thought I’d surprise you.” She replied.
Erm, what’s going on here? I kept wondering. Who was the chick and how had she gotten into the house. My mind ran zigzags until it reached a possible answer. Maybe his sister.
But Daniel said he only had brothers so maybe…cousin?
“Your new P.A?” she asked, pointing at me.
P.A? PEE A???
“Common, introduce us Dan.” She continued, but he didn’t reply. He led me to the couch, made me sit and then turned to face her.
“Why are you here Lola?”
“Really? That’s how you’re welcoming me?” She moved past him to me smiling. “Hi, I’m Lola.” She gave me her hand. “And you?”
“Bibi.” I said, taking her hand. “I’m not his P.A…I’m his girlfriend.” I decided to add, trying to correct her first impression of me. “And you are?”
“Oh, his fiancée.” She said, raising her left hand high enough for me to see the ring on her middle finger.

   My eyes widened, my mouth fell open…
And then time stopped!
What was that?
I was too shocked and confused to think. I looked at Daniel…his eyes were wider than mine. Why was he shocked? He was the proposer and so must have known.
“Bibi.” He said, coming to me. I stood up from the couch abruptly and moved away from him as he tried to touch me. His touch was suddenly repulsive…He was suddenly repulsive.
Tears…


Really hot tears were beginning to form in my eyes but I did my best to keep my eyes open…or blink…I wasn’t sure which one was going to keep the tears in.
“Bibi…” he continued. “Don’t listen to her.” Then to Lola, “What do you think you’re doing?” He practically growled at her.
“Introducing myself, what’s wr…” she started to say but he cut her off.
“You should leave now. “
“But Daniel…”
“I said leave  go  get out of here!”
He grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the front door.
“Are you throwing me out?” she yelled, struggling against him but when it didn’t seem to work in her favour, “You can’t throw me out like that, my things are in the bedroom.”
He seemed to hesitate a bit, then changed direction…dragging her towards the stairs leading to the bedrooms. And then they were out of sight.
I wasn’t sure what had just happened but all of a sudden, I wanted to run…
...as fast as my legs could carry me…

The Secret Diaries: Kendra

I had to look out for my friend. She'd gone and fallen in love with some rich, arrogant dude. The type who had women falling all over him and so took advantage. Bibi found out the hard way... And that was after she'd lost her v... to him. It made me mad to know that Bibi still had feelings for the guy... She froze every time she saw him. I wanted to slap her all those times but couldn't... Couldn't blame her either, I know she tried her best to forget him but it was hard. I did my best too... I hooked her up some other guys...rich guys but it never went beyond the first date. She was never interested. I gave up then. L et Bibi do whatever she wants, I told myself. I needed to respect her feelings even though it mad me mad. I cared about her alot. That was why when after an hour she'd told she needed to pee she wasn't back,  I got worried and started looking for her... She was missing the party... Hell,  I was missing the party by looking fo...

How Well Do You Know Your Telephone History?

Have you ever wondered how you could just pick up this small device and talk through it to someone else, miles and miles away from you and hear them as clearly as if they were sitting on the same couch as you? I have wondered that a lot. I have wondered who could have stumbled on the idea that something could be done to make people who live far away from each other to communicate with each other by voice. How did the person get the idea? Well, here's what i found... Two men, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray stumbled on the idea; maybe around the same time, I don't know, but they both filed for a patent on the same day. This caused a huge disagreement that led to a legal battle to find who to be awarded the patent for the invention of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell won. His lawyer had filed for a patent a few hours before Elisha's lawyer filed for his own patent. One day, in an electrical shop, Alexander Graham Bell was trying to perfect a method for sending mes...

I Met A Man Once (2)

  A few months after it started, even though i was still scared about making a wrong decision. He-who-must-not-be-named! was the only man i had my eyes on. I didn't want him to have an idea that i was falling for him incase he took advantage of that information. I was firm in my resolve that i was still going to take my time to get to "yes" to his request no matter how much i wanted everything a relationship entailed with him. Yet, i remembered a singles & dating sermon i watched once that talked about not letting the person go, as long as they added value to your life. So i wrote down the next few lines in my notebook.   ''How does he make me feel?  Secure, complete, confident, not just excited but emotionally energized when we talk, when he holds my hands or when he touches me. He inspires me. Makes me feel like there is nothing I cannot accomplish every time he's encouraging my work or telling me I can do it. What about the day he told me about m...
