Must Read: My Friend, Her Boyfriend And I - Season 1 - Episode 8

Emeka returned and we stopped gossiping.

After some while we left the bar and headed home.

‘…We had so much fun Emeka, thanks for all the lovely things you bought us and it was nice meeting you’ I said as I got out of Emeka’s car.

‘The pleasure is all mine. I hope to see you soon, and don’t forget my friend oo, I will give him your bb-pin. Accept him, you hear? He said.

Tola joined me outside the car some seconds after. She gave me her shopping bags to drop for her in her room.

‘Babe love, I don dey waka oo. I’ll see you later tonight, wait up for me if you wan gist.’ said Tola winking at me.

‘Ok, don’t be a good girl. Show him the true you oo, shogbo?’

‘Yes ma.’ We pecked each other. She entered the car and they drove off, I entered our apartment.

I noticed a strange car was parked inside my compound. I walked to my flat, thinking to myself my neighbor had stepped up his game, nice one.
I walked into the living room and immediately noticed a familiar scent but I couldn’t place it.

I opened my room door, and froze dead at the door. I dropped everything I was carrying.

My room was like a page from a love magazine, there were roses on the carpet, scented candle light danced in the air and its fragrance was nice; crowning it off, Niyi sat Unclad on my bed except for a very tight white pant which outlined every single detail of his ‘middle belt’. He had a bottle of champagne sat in a bucket of ice on the side table, with my favorite seedless red grapes too and a small red box I couldn’t place.

Damn! This was bloody romantic, I was so wet and turned on from just looking at my boyfriend!
‘Welcome home sugerpie, I miss you,’ Niyi said smiling and beckoning me with his middle finger. Oh gosh this is so hot! My heart did a somersault, I was joyous but it was just for some seconds. My heart skipped as my conscience reminded me of what I did in his absence and to my horror and amazement Niyi said.

‘You don’t look too happy seeing me, have you been up to something I should know about?’ My heart raced blood through every vein in my body; this was the moment of truth or should lie? What I’m I to do? I started debating with myself.

“What is the worst thing that can happen if I tell him self” I asked myself.

“He will break up with you”, I answered myself.

“Arh, that’s not the worst oo, if he beats you nko?”

“He dares not, ontop wetin? After all I won’t be in this position if he had done is job well” I was debating with myself when his voice brought be back.

‘Joke? Is there something I should know?
Are you pregnant?’ He asked me calmly.

‘No, I’m not pregnant,’ I replied.

‘Then come here, everything will be fine, daddy is here to take care of you.’ I went into his arms and he we hugged and kissed.

He withdrawn from me and said,

‘Your heart is not here. I can feel it. Now tell me what’s bugging you.’ I moved out from the circle of his arms and went as far away as my room would allow.

‘Niyi I’m going to say something that would break your heart, and when I’m done with my little speech; you may want to be out of this relationship, but just know I truly cherish you and I didn’t mean to hurt you.

Please don’t interrupt me while I’m talking’. Niyi’s face went forlorn, looking hurt without hearing what I was about to tell him, so I decided to tell him the abbreviated truth
‘For five years I’ve been having S£x, I’ve never reached orgas,m with any of my lovers,’ his face shot up and glared at me, silently asking me if he was amongst.

‘Including you baby. The problem is with me because I was circumcised. I met a doctor while you were away who said he could cure me of my situation but had to show me. It was a tough decision for me but I agreed to have S£x with him.’ Niyi rose up slowly from the bed and started pacing. He looked deadly and I was scared. I continued in a shaky voice.

‘He enlightened me on my situation and we had S£x. To my surprise, I climaxed. I wish you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I was just trying to find myself sexually. I’ll understand if you don’t want to continue with this relationship’.

I finished with tears in my eyes, looking down truly ashamed of myself. Niyi was quiet for five minutes or there about, I couldn’t look him in the face. I summoned courage and glanced up. He stood with his back to me. I walked slowly to him and touched me lightly on his shoulder, I said,
‘Baby.’ He spoke in whispers but I heard him clearly.

‘Don’t touch me.’ I dropped my hand like I just touched fire. He turned towards me sharply, I didn’t have any time to run or react.

He grabbed my arms and shook me violently.

‘Why?! Why?!’ He screamed at me.

‘I’m sor…’

‘Paarrhh!’ His palm landed on my face.

He slapped me. I fell down to my kneels and sobbed silently?

‘Traitor, betrayal, ashewo! I trusted you! I gave you all you asked for! I left for two weeks and you started sleeping around! Thar!’

He went to the door and took my shopping bags. He poured the contents on the floor. He spat on me.

‘See you life! so its because of clothes and jewelry that makes you follow men about! I’m sure it’s the fool that just dropped you! Are these what I can’t provide for you? you disgust me!’ He shouted at me

I cowed on the floor fearing another slap of kick.
He dressed up rapidly and he didn’t stop abusing me. I sat down on the floor dejected.

I didn’t regret what I did with Kunle but I regretted telling Niyi the truth. My tears has stopped running, but I was still sobbing. He carried his briefcase and said to me,

‘I am so disappointed in you. If you are going to say the truth say the truth. You have been sleeping around for a long time and your conscience is not at rest because I’m too good to you. You didn’t have to cover it up with you not climaxing story, I’ve never heard of that. Goodbye and don’t ever cross my path again.’

He walked out of my room, he hit my legs with the door as he opened it and the sound of the slam when he closed it could wake the dead.

I grabbed my leg as fresh tears poured down my face. I was about to stand up when my door yanked open. Niyi stormed into my room and went straight to my bedside table, where the champagne, grapes and the red box were.

He took the red box and came to stand in front of me. He opened the red box and it sparkled into my face. I was staring at a ring.

‘You asked me to bring you what you are worth to me from Ghana, I saw this beautiful ring and thought you should be my wife. Can you believe that? Thank God I didn’t make that mistake.’ He hissed at me. I looked up at him. There were tears in his eyes. I felt sorry for both of us.

He slammed the box closed and walked out of my room again. This time quietly. I dropped my head on my bed and hot tears ran down cheeks. It was in this position my friend Tola met me when she returned.
