Must Read: My Friend, Her Boyfriend And I - Season 1 - Episode 27

‘If I say you didn’t hurt me, then I would be lying. When I left that night, I almost died from alcohol. ‘ He said and my heart sank, I wanted to hug him but I maintained my composure and allowed him to continue.

‘The week that followed was sad and painful. I shut everybody out and I was mean, very mean to girls. I started sleeping around. But by the third week, I met this church going girl who preached to me to stop being nasty and mean to girls. I started dating her. She was against S£x before marriage.’ He burst into laughter as he said it. I didn’t know why he laughed but I smiled along.

‘You see, I was very happy I found a saint, I thought it was a consolation for what you had done to me. To cut the long story short, an area younger brother told me the girl was a slu,t. She sleeps around. She has slept with most men on our street and the most choking part was that she had slept with most of my friends.’ It was as if I was watching a movie. So all this had happened in the short span of there months. I didn’t say anything still so he continued.

‘So I invited five of my friends out yesterday.
After we have downed two bottles of McDowell’s and we were on our third bottle and everyone was tipsy, I passed her picture around and asked my friends what they think about her because I wanted to date her. The guys disagreed and started giving me stories.
Four of them have slept with her, and they all know someone she had slept with. I felt like a fool.’ He narrated and I couldn’t hold it anymore. I held his hands.

‘Shina threatened to tell you since he didn’t know we broke up. I didn’t tell anyone we broke up. They sha discouraged me from dating her. I told them I won’t. We all left after the third bottle. I was very sad. I had time to think about you and I. I know I truly loved you and I missed you terribly. When I woke up this morning and saw your text, my heart leaped. I was so happy but I was still skeptical. So I called this girl to come over. I asked her for S£x again and she opened the Bible. I was so disgusted with her. I confronted her with the facts yet she denied it and blamed everything on the devil who wanted to break us up. I told her to leave my house and never come back if she valued her life.’ He said solemnly, I could see his muscle tensed and I could feel the pains he had gone through.

A single tear ran down my left cheek. He cleaned it with his left thumb before continuing.

‘Don’t cry baby. Anyway, I went to the bar and started drinking. That was when my thinking was clear. You did something while I was in Ghana which I had no means of knowing yet, you told me. It takes guts and braveness to do that. I took my car keys and drove out of the bar, that was the last thing I rememberer.’ He said looking into my eyes. We searched each others face and we both saw what we wanted to see.

‘I’m sorry baby, I’m so so sorry.’ I apologized and meant it.

‘I’m sorry too, for being selfish and…’ I stopped him with a finger against his lips.

‘Don’t baby, don’t say that. I’m the selfish and self centered one, I sho…’ He cut me off mid-sentence.

‘Ssshhhhh, it’s ok love, no more apologizing.’ He stopped me and drew me into his arms in a fierce hug. Soon our lips found each other. We drank in each others lips. We poured our hearts into it, saying all we couldn’t say with the kiss. After some minutes we stopped kissing and remained contented in each others embrace. We broke it off eventually and started catching up on what we had missed in each other’s life. Around 3pm I fed him with egusi soup and poundo yam. At 4:30pm, he said he wanted to go home but promised to be back in an hour. I was reluctant and scared to let him leave, but he assured me he would be back. With a hug and kiss he left. The pain I felt when he left was physical. I felt like I was loosing him again.
