THE MINUTE MAN

My memory is a bit clouded when it comes to this relationship. I think I met him in my school God alone knows what he came to do on campus because he finished from a neighbouring university and he had finished by the time I met him. He was from a popular old money family in Benin City and he was an upcoming musician/rapper (so he called himself lol).

Well you know me I always fall for the TDH (tall dark and handsome) guys but they always turn out to be poison. So back to him he was tall dark handsome, he had the talks lol (smooth talker) he looked full of promises and I had already started to dream about being his wife lmao (foolish me). He used to come check me up in school take me out talk sweet nonsense as they call it. His friend showed me a picture one day of him and a girl then he told me to watch out for that girl because when she comes back I’m going to be crying I thought it was a joke so we all laughed it out even him.

The break up; he travelled to London for vacation by then I was writing my final year papers. It was the day of one of my most difficult courses and I had jacked* my life out ready to go and kill the paper the next thing the school said we must have 70% attendance to sit for the exam yepa! Where was I going to find that one? I was one student that used to miss classes. So imagine me getting to the hall and I was not allowed to write the paper that was automatic summer exam hmm I had to run round town to get a doctor’s report to serve as reason I did not make 70%.

By the time the day was over all I wanted to do was talk to my boyfriend to tell him how horrible my day was. Guess what he called me that night. I was like “I was trying your line all day, my day was so horrible…” then I told him what happened then he goes “sorry about your day but I have good news and bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?” I told him the good news. Then he goes “ the good news is not so good news for you. I’m back with my ex and the bad news is its over between us”

Hmm my people that was how we ended the relationship oh I did not know if I should cry or what. how wicked can a man be. He knew quite well I was writing my finals. Oh guess what some months ago he was trying to come back. He must be really foolish. did he forget how he dumped me when i needed a shoulder to cry on? pleaseeeeeee ( the way a black girl rolls her eyes and snapps her fingers) lol
