So I get up this lovely morning, it's Friday and I'm very glad to see the top of at the present time. My enemies wouldn't have it, I come out of my home at 6:15 am and who do I see standing outdoors my gate?
Abraham! Sure Abraham! The identical Abraham who instructed me I might die alone as a result of my requirements had been too excessive. Some males simply don't have a chill tablet. Chaaaiii!!!
'What would you like?' I ask as Musa closes the gate behind me
“Don't be like that, I simply felt such as you would possibly want a experience to your workplace.”he walks in direction of me
'No, thanks' I transfer to create house between us 'the employees bus could be there quickly'
'There’s something!!' he smiles, how I like his good enamel and people pink lips, they appear like they need to be bruised, by my lips after all. I collect my composure and step apart. This one wouldn't kill me abeg.
'Look, I used to be improper, I'm sorry' he comes nearer and holds my shoulder.
'I've heard“I shrug my shoulders to make his palms transfer” In contrast to some individuals, I don't personal my enterprise, so in the event you don't thoughts……' I stir and begin strolling to my bus cease
'Ada, that is your angle dangerous, you aren’t Miss Impartial, be submissive and possibly.…..” he stops speaking as I cease strolling.
' You’re clearly not Ne-yo and never Abraham. I cannot apologize for wanting stability and safety for myself earlier than I demand it from anybody.” I have a look at the bus cease whereas the employees bus driver parks' Be certain that that is the final time you come to my home at six within the morning speaking nonsense.”
I get to the bus and handle to smile on the driver as I sit and stare out the window questioning if my requirements would actually be the top of me. Mother is in Enugu and tells me to come back and do the introduction this 12 months. With a model maybe. Dad would have understood, he taught me to not decrease my requirements, he confirmed me by way of his marriage how males ought to love, cherish and honor their wives. They might solely do this if the ladies had requirements. Abraham is the second man this 12 months to inform me to decrease my requirements.
Perhaps I ought to outline what I name requirements……
'Ada, you've been quiet, kilode?' Temi spreads my braids from behind. I flip and smile at him, however he has modified seats. I relaxation my head on his shoulder and ensure my face doesn't stain his white shirt (make-up issues)
' Abraham was at my home this morning, apparently I’ve excessive requirements and that will be the top of me' I'm making an attempt to sound sarcastic. Temi isn't fooled when he appears down at me.
“If I wasn't enjoying for the opposite crew you’ll be my IT lady, no man needs to chase a girl with no requirements. Solely weak males'. He places his palms round me and we stay silent till the bus stops on the workplace.
As we stroll to our ridiculously tall constructing, I dread the lengthy stairs and don't marvel why I wouldn't take the elevator. Temi holds my hand as we start our lengthy journey to our workplace flooring. He doesn't should, however he does it on daily basis.
I have a look at our palms, why are all good males, gay, married or nonetheless being fashioned of their mom's womb?
'Temi!!!!' he holds my hand tighter after which lets go of my hand.
