It was a tiresome Friday. I had gone to KFC to grab some snacks and drinks when i caught the sight of and alluring figure, it was a woman in a long and straight simple gown, she was not wearing much make-up she looked twice as nice as someone who did, she looked beautiful as her long tan hair dangled on her back. I decided to take my chance so I moved closer to her and greeted, smiling politely, she replied. She was not like Lagos girls who always feel too big to talk to a guy, I thought, feeling impressed. 'I'm Dan, how about you?' I introduced my name.
"I'm Tania" she replied sweetly and I pressed further by requesting for her cell phone number, we talked for a while and then bade each other farewell. As days rolled by, we got closer and then moved on to the next level; we started dating. I was so fund of her and wanted to show her off to the whole world, I showered her with gifts and spent almost all of my free periods with her and I also confided in her.
The son of the manager of the place I work was throwing his birthday party at Forbas Hotel and I had been invited, being his close friend. When I told Tania about the party, she declined saying that she would be extremely busy on the d-day. I believed her because I trusted her so much but on getting to the party, the first person I saw was Tania, she was wearing a very skimpy gown that fitted her like a second skin. 'Tania what's all this! I said angrily, moving towards her.
`Hey Dan, what's up' Ralph the celebrant said, trying to be friendly.
`Hey stay out of it please!' I cautioned trying to grab Tania by the wrist.
`Tania, what's going on here' Ralph blanked 'I don't know' she blurted almost immediately. I tried to hit Ralph but just then, his bodyguards grabbed me and took me out of the hotel, I was given hell of a beating and then thrown out of the gate to face whatever happens to me.
Somehow, I managed to get home and called the family doctor. he came rushing in and treated me, after telling him what happened to me, he said soothing things to me and then left. After crying my eyes out of its socket, sleep came at 2.00am and I slept still with a heavy day. Next I called my P.A. and told her that I wouldn't be coming to the office that day because I was sick.
I was shocked to receive a visitor in the person of Ralph. He came on Sunday, the same week of his birthday.
"I'm very, very sorry about Friday night' he began as he sat beside me.
"It's okay" I replied,
"I never knew she could do this to me, the first day I met her at the bank, I felt she was the one for me,never knew she was cheating on me...." "but, but" I cut in, not knowing the right words to say.
"It's okay, it's really not about you, I found out that she was dating four other guys apart from us!" he exclaimed, raising four fingers up.
"Woah, she's so diabolic!' I exclaimed too.
"See I'm sorry about the bouncers and what they did to you, I mean she deserved it he said shaking his head in disbelief.
'I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have made an attempt to hit you in the first place' I said biting my lips.
"Its all good now, you're sorry, I'm sorry too" he said. We apologized to each other and reconciled.
