“I understand” I concurred with a weak smile. I told him that we could not be friends anymore because of the new development and he understood; he kissed my forehead and left. I felt numb…
When Bolanle and I were at the mall I saw children telling santa what they wanted for Christmas, I should have told him what I wanted for Christmas. I should have told him that all I wanted for Christmas was Abdul.
Browsing: Asari
Life of a mid-twenties Abuja girl called Asari, My life, my love, my fails, my tears, my joys, and all that is mine. I am Asari, and this is my life.
My goodness, I WAS JEALOUS… I have never been this jealous of someone because of man like this in my life. I was swelling with jealousy; any more than that I would have started flying like a hot air balloon. I wanted to talk to him about the ‘I love you’ he said to me at my house but I didn’t get a chance to plus there was no need because from what I saw. Deep down I could tell that he loves her
“That boy loves you and from what I saw the day he came around; you are also in love with him. So sit down there and be deceiving yourself that you are friends until he marries someone else” she entered her bed room and shut the door. End of discussion
“I know that it is Abdul but does he know that you are in love with him?” she questioned. Her question took me aback, where did she get the confidence to ask me such questions? “I think he does, they both know that they feel something for each other” Lota answered. “Are you kidding me?” I thought, since when did my love life become a group discussion for them without my permission?
Lota did everything to get her out of the house including making her shower and drink coffee. She finally got to my house and she was pleasantly surprised by the party. Everything suddenly became okay between her and Jude, it looked like they had made up; I guess she thought that he also had something to do with her surprise birthday party. Everyone was having a good time when Jude tried to get our attention because he had an announcement to make. We gave him the attention oo, just for him to give a speech appreciate Ashezi and before we knew what was going on; he was on one bended knee
She told us that she engaged in a threesome with him because it was what he wanted for his thirtieth birthday, she confessed to us that most weekends when we did not see her she was at his mother’s house cooking and cleaning including mother’s day; she also told us how almost everything she did was to please him including what she wore and her hairstyle
He turned alright, when he did; he came straight to our table with wrath bubbling in his eyes “you fucking bitch! You destroyed my relationship just because I injured your leg. You told her to break up with me. Watch your back” he roared and before I could say anything, he was gone.
He tried to calm her down but she was not having it. You won’t believe what she did next. This lady took his food and drink from their table to mine and was like “he is all yours”. Everyone in the restaurant was looking at me like a homewrecker; I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. So I stood up to leave but it was very hard because she pushed him over my table and it crumbled on my leg.
So, does that mean that I am the problem? I didn’t ask those guys to want me but they did and literally did not want to leave me alone. Every time I thought it was over, one of them would show up again with drama.
I chose Duo as our meeting place because I hadn’t been there in a while plus I missed their shrimp. Max was already there before I arrived; it was nice seeing him again after all that drama but the gods of drama were not done with me yet because Tobe walked in. When I saw him, I thought that he was going to walk past us but he walked straight to our table; his eyes on Max. Max noticed Tobe looking at him as he was going to kill him so he asked “can I help you?” and Tobe was like “yes you can, you can tell me what you are doing with my girlfriend”.
I took a minute to catch my breath and wrap my head around what had happened but just as I turned to walk back to the theater there he was. Tobe. He had seen everything that happened.
“Nothing is wrong with you. You are perfect” he looked into my eyes and kissed me; a kiss that took the wind from under me. If I was standing I think my knees would have given me way to fall to the ground. The kiss was so mesmerizing that we couldn’t talk after. We just sat there in silence basking in each other’s presence.
People say that when you have a good number of suitors, it makes you feel attractive. I get a lot of attention from men and sometimes women and at the moment I have three guys fighting for my attention but I do not feel attractive, or confidence. Do you want to know what I feel? Confusion and lack of confidence, I am starting to realize that I feel the most sexy or attractive when I am confident in the decisions that I make; which is not the case at the moment.
I begged him and told him that my boss forced me to go out with Abdul, so that he could talk to his father to bring more business for the bank. I even went on to tell him how he was the one I wanted to be with and no one else but he did not believe me. The next words out of his mouth were shocking
“This is it” I thought “He is going to come over to my table and say hi” But he didn’t. He turned his face away without waving or nodding or even recognizing that I am someone that deserves to be greeted.
I looked at him again this time paying attention to the tribal marks on his face and said nothing. I know when a man is looking for my attention and I was in no mood to indulge. I mean if something was really wrong with me is it in the toilet he will help me? All these pervs.
“Asari,” I heard Max call out as he approached. “I apologize, really.” He said, as he held my waist from…
I haven’t been this excited about a date in a long time. Everything about the way Max and I met was thrilling and I’ve never experienced this instant connection with anyone.
