pushed into my dreams

chapter one

Vanessa's pov ❤

           It was a Friday night, I sat by my bed gazing through my window. Traffic everywhere, sirens making its own noise.

      The city of Lagos is lit up, so bright and full of life, pedestrians are making their way to their various destinations.
   I spot a guy and girl laughing at the Hausa  man selling suya (roasted meat). The girl's face was full of flush , she appears so in love with the standing right next to her. Uhmmmmm........

               So was I until three months ago when Dave left. We were so perfect so full of love or so I thought, we tried our best in helping each solve our problems.
Friends and family called us perfect even though we had nothing materialistic to boast of.

      Dave is a graduate of computer science from the university of Lagos.  I for one is still schooling we met during his service, he rented an apartment not quite far from mine .we liked each other at the very first moment we set our eyes on each other.

So, that was how we started dating .Dave was yet to be called for a job. things were so tight. I am just from a bit below average background likewise him too I smiled sadly at the thought of it.

       He had graduated about a year ago but still had no job but we had each other we console each other I was a shoulder I could lean on so was he to me .I stayed by him giving him all the support I could give so as to lessen his grief of not getting a job.

    We  were very supportive for one another so that lessen the tension of our problems. His  family was a total write off but dave's mum was always by side she's a true mother always encouraging her son we continue living like that in hope that our sorrows  will be long forgotten at the end.

     Dave  came home from one interview he went for looking so happy

    "hey babe how are you holding up" he asked in an bubbly tone.

" I'm ok "I responded slightly arching  my brows.  Trust me if I say I've never seen Dave coming home from an interview with joy written over his face.

    " you look so cheerful spare me some details about it how did it go" I threw questioning glance at him .

  "vanessa I'm chosen....... I was chosen vee " he said gathering his fists towards his chest.

     It took me about a minute or two for my brain to process what he just told me
" dave you were what?.... chosen I trailed off

     "yes vee i was chosen above others  baby... oh sweet vee "  he pulled me into a very tight hug.
I was so happy and speechless at the same time.................

       I heard the bang of the door which pulled me out of my thoughts.I turned my face to see the culprits.

    Brielle and Ella were giggling at something as they approached me ella is looking so gorgeous in a blue short silk gown that accentuated  her well shaped curves moulding her ass which is her potential in every dimension while Brielle looking so hot in a red off shoulder gown short as well.Full makeup too.

     Brielle  is a semi social kind of person very smart when it comes to her books and grades kudos to our strict parents .

"hey babe whats up,  u aint dressed "Ella  stated the obvious  looking at me half serious half  playful.

        "I told you girls already I don't want to go anywhere.... don't feel like it " I replied sadly. There was about a few seconds silence.

      " just because Dave fucked  up doesn't mean you won't try someone else"  Brielle  chipped in.

" Look Nessa we all know how hard this is for you, but babe you have to move on. many nice dudes out there will be so lucky to have you" I just shrugged.

     "Nessa  you have to let it all out this night you know we love you Nessa" Ella added.

     I look at the tiled floor studying it for a moment Brielle is right, its been 3 months since Dave left I shouldn't be wallowing in self-pity.

      "You are right Brielle  I think I need to forget them he doesn't worth it all" I pulled her into a bear hug and whispered "I love you Brielle" Tears welled up  in my eyes.

    " I love you too Vanessa " Brielle returned with a whisper too.

       "Now can we sort the reunion later, we are running and you know Nessa still needs to get dressed" Ella clapped her hands and roll her eyes dramatically.
Brielle and I giggled. Ella can be so dramatic.

     " you are right, it's time to stop been a cry baby, that shit sucks" I dabbed the corner of my eyes.

   "You can say that again" Ella rolled her dramatically once again.

    "But where are we going to exactly "  I shot her a skeptical look at Ella then Brielle.

       "Here you go pretty girl" Briell handed me a ticket "mayorkun will be performing Live at the Lakers' club " my jaw dropped.

    "Yeah  Nessah your favorite songstar is performing live, hurry up babe  isnt by our side "  by the time I recovered from a few seconds Coma, Ella and Brielle were out of the room.

         I  searched  my  whole wardrobe, couldn't find anything appealing  to wear.

    " I must not   let my friends down" I mumbled  to myself .

I found a black dress, its style is so simple and classy both at the same just my taste.
it's one of my expensive dress . I settled for that,  picked a black stiletto heels to accompany it.

          Black always look good on me. Beat my face with some makeup . The lights purple eye shadow gave my face a vibrant look.

     Thank  goodness I had my hair done on Tuesday.  I gave myself smokey eyes which goes well for my dress then grabbed purse and phone.

      I met Ella  looking so worried I guess she's worried about the time "oh......my Nessa ... You don't look dead like the past couple of months, you look so nice" she stuttered,  I rolled my eyes at somehow true- compliment.

     " beautiful is the word" Brielle added. "Thanks guys
" I blushed.

       "We should get going" Ella said as she takes the first step towards the door.

      "Yeah we should " I added.

            A can was waiting to pick us already "did you order for it" I threw Ella a questioning glance because it's obvious that  she might be the one since Brielle is not even the type who go to parties.

     Ella nodded. Brielle got into the passenger seat while Ella and I positioned ourselves in the back seat.

        "Sam booked the taxi to pick us up" He said he has booked a vip seat for us all" she informed more.

      I just stared in admiration. Sam  is Ella New boyfriend and this guy is already falling at her feet. I just hope my best friend gets serious with a guy for once. Then stared at the sky through the car windows, lost in thought, lost in my own world.
