I looked at him with ice that could melt an ice mountain and walked away; but not without noticing how handsome he was and the way a section of his grey beards punctuated his face.
Browsing: Asari
It was really awkward at first because of the way we last left things but gradually we eased into a conversation. Just for him to say the following words “Asari, I think I am in love with you too” words I would have killed to hear a few weeks ago
I was sad, I was sad because I had just made a fool of myself to make a man jealous; a man who was happy with the girl he was with and probably didn’t give a fuck… it made me feel deeply sad and worthless… like I wasn’t good enough. I forced Bolanle to put me in a cab, I wanted to be alone; his questions were too much for me to handle.
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?
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.
“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.
