  "Em..not really! I just need you to leave now, something just came up... It's quite urgent." I managed to say something. Steve took a keen look at me like it was hard for him to believe what I had just said, but I guess he just wanted to be cooperative. He smiled, and headed for the door.  " Good night! " He said. "Good night, Steve." I replied, and I could sense a tone of heaviness in his gesture. Everything had become weird, one minute I had asked Steve to be at my house, the next minute I sent him away in a hurry! Definitely, that was weird.       In less than a three minutes, Mike arrived, looking all stressed out as he just sat helplessly on the couch. I stood there, and watched him for a while. Without saying a word, he headed for the fridge, and stared then he turned to me. " And where is my Orange juice? " He asked. " It's finished, you can manage the Apple drink ." I replied. After fussing a bit, Mike settled for th...

      DON'T BRUSH AWAY THOSE IDEAS..                By E PLUS The Storyteller. Call it an influx of ideas, creativity and prowess, you would certainly be right! More than ever before, I see people who are more determined, and deliberate about telling and bringing their ideas to life through the powerful gift of Storytelling. Within the past few months, I have had to respond to countless requests and proposals on: How best to write and tell a story! Guess what? There's no better way to tell a story than to 'start telling it'. Look at it this way, you want to cook Afang Soup or Banga Soup, or even Eforiro, the ingredients are available in the market so that won't be a problem. The next step is to make plans to go to the market and get the ingredients, after which you can begin to cook. From all indications, steps have to be taken to make that soup, a reality. Likewise, everyone has the creative potential and prowess to be an establish...

                              DICEY( Part 4)           Written by E PLUS The Storyteller . In less than an hour, Steve was at my place! Initially when the door bell rang, I wasn't sure if he was the one, until I opened the door. For some minutes, I just stared at him, then with a smile, and warm embrace, I let him into the house, still thrilled at his swift response, it was already few minutes pass 8.00pm. " So, tell me were you daring me when you asked me to come over ?" Steve said as he stared keenly into my eyes. For a minute, I was lost for words, and responded with a grin on my face. " You know? You really got me there! I guess I pushed my curiosity, and it worked ." I replied. " Or, let's just say I'm in luck !" Steve said. " You mean.. .?" I stressed. " Well our date just got fast forwarded. " Steve said, and we both laughed. Then headed for the Kitchen to get a drink, and turned ...

                   DICEY (PART 3)     Written by E PLUS The Storyteller. Trishia's wedding turned out to be such a huge fun fair as friends took to the dance floor, everyone had such an amazing time, and I couldn't help noticing the smile on the couple's face, and I said to myself, Love is such an amazing experience. Steve had successfully taken down my number, after much resistance. On a second thought, I felt it wasn't such a big deal, afterall I had his complimentary card.       The cab driver delayed quite a bit but I managed to arrive home before dark. For some reasons, I wasn't hungry so I decided to just settle down with a cup of cold  orange drink. Then my mind began to drift away, I remembered when Trishia and the rest of us would race down the street for a cup of chocolate drink, it was so much fun!  How time flies! I pondered. While I stared at my reflection in the Standing mirror, I ran my h...

                         DICEY(PART 2)           Written by E PLUS The Storyteller .  Instantly, I remembered that Mike had actually promised to stop at my office to see me before heading for a transaction, nearby. As I held on to the phone, I quickly beckoned on Steve that I was leaving, and quickly he slipped his complimentary card into my left hand. In less than five minutes, I had gotten to the office, and met Mike waiting in his car, and l joined him. Mike gave me a suspicious stare. " What? I just went off for a drink, and snacks." I reacted. " But you know I was coming to see you, Loretta ." Mike said, quite grumpily. " And that shouldn't stop me from having brunch, Mike." I snapped. And there was momentary silence, at that point I just wanted to head back to the office.  " How are you?" Mike finally spoke. " I'm fine ." I replied. "I was hoping we could get away this weekend, w...

DICEY Written by E PLUS The Storyteller.  Immediately, he came into the hall, my heart sank, and all I could do was hold my breath as he stared keenly at my direction amidst the crowd. I felt like vanishing! Then, he stepped forward, and held the mic, clearing his throat for the umpteenth time before he began to make his speech. Simultaneously, my mind began to drift away with echoes of his voice, and those words he said to me, the very first time we met. " Hi, you look georgeous, can I pay for your drink ?" He said with a smirk.   Then, I turned around to see who had just spoken. He was quite young, apparently I was older, yet the audacity in his voice was the attraction for me.

I am just a silly flirt, caught red handed by a gorgeous lady." He exclaimed. " Hahaha!...
