My phone began to ring and I was scared to pick the call. My roommate asked me to pick the call but I turned deaf ears to what she was saying. She asked me why I refused to pick Adam’s call and I narrated the story on  how I came back from church service,  I got hungry so I decided to prepare some food that I will eat at that moment when Adam called me on the phone. I gladly picked the call because I was dying to hear his voice. Only for him to tell me that that he has called off the friendship. I was curious to know why so I asked him why he would do such a thing to me and he said that I was playing games with his heart so as it stands now, he is no longer interested in our friendship anymore. I begged him very well o and he refused to listen to me instead he ended the call on me.  Now he is calling me so that we should discuss what? I am no longer interested sef so he should stop calling me. My roommate calmed me down and advised me to pick his call and hear what he has to say first before I will draw a conclusion. So I told her that I am no longer interested, in short I am unavailable for him since he does not have any respect for me. My roommate shouted at me and asked me to stop all those childish things and pick his call and listen to what he as to say. I was like, look at my roommate ooo. Wait, do you want to carry his matter on your head? Why are you drinking Panadol on Adam’s headache? Anyways it is Adam I am having issue with, I don’t want to have issues with you because of Adam so stay off and keep off. When I need your advice, I will call you and consult you on that. My roommate was like, Adam loves you so much but you are not helping the young man here. You don’t know that it takes two to tangle. You don’t know it takes the two of you to make the relationship to properly workout. But with your lackadaisical attitude now, you are frustrating the whole thing, don’t say I did not advise you ooo. After saying that to me, I pretended like I was not the one she was talking to. I went straight to my bed, hug my pillow and act like I was not bothered at all. After a while, I started to feel unease and restless, i was totally bothered about how I was treating Adam at that moment, what should I do now? Should I call him back and hear what he has to say or I should keep ignoring his calls so that he will know that I am very angry with him? I started to ponder on Adam’s matter that is heavy on my heart. I started to ask myself that if I should be avoiding Adam’s call, how long will I keep doing this? I truly love Adam and I really want to start an intimate relationship with him and make him my honey pie, my honey and my world. I want to love no one but him. I really want to be with him, build my future with him, bear children with him and make him the number one citizen of my life. But the way I am treating him right now, I don’t think I am ready. If I keep treating him like this, will I achieve all this thing I wish for myself? No, I will not. I think I should do what my roommate advised me to do, I should just give him a chance and see what will be the outcome of this relationship. On a second thought, I think I will wait for his call so when he calls again, I will pick his call and then we make up our differences on the phone by God’s grace. I will not take any step to call him for if I do he will start to think that I am a cheap girl, all those one-indomie-and-two-eggs kind of girl. Abeg, I am not even his girlfriend yet so why will I be killing myself for him? How am I sure that he is not even with another lady right now or is on the phone with another lady? He is an handsome guy and I am quite sure that I am not the only one he must be keeping friendship with as a lady. That Adam of a guy can be polyamorous from the the look of things. I am not concluding sha but why I am telling myself this is because the way he approached me on that day I went to buy my IPhone, you need to see the way we stared at each other for seconds as our eyes met. That guy will be seducing a lot of ladies with his sexy eyes just as he seduced me. His gait too his sexy. That day he took me to the shop where I got my IPhone, as he walked before me I was just admiring his gait. Adam will not kill me or is it his manner. The one that trip me the most is his lips. As he was talking to me, telling me the functions of the IPhone and how I should use them. That day I was staring at his pink lips like that of a woman, I felt like kissing those lips but I had to control myself. I have to respect myself before people will start saying that it is because of a guy Amakay wants to go crazy. This kind of love I never see, I must tell you because the way e dey do me ehn, I can’t imagine it and words can describe this kind of feelings. Funny enough, Adam is not the first guy in my life that I will say I am JJC in boyfriend and girlfriend parole but what baffles me is how the love dey intoxicate me like alcohol. No be small thing o! Anyways, it happens and I am not surprised sha, for people fall in love for one reason or the other. Everyone falls in love and I am no exceptional, even fools fall in love so you can imagine that. Adam will not kill me. Sometimes I will just sit back and ask myself what I saw in this guy that made me want to have an intimate relationship with him but no answer. If it is boyfriends I have them many that I can mention. Some reside in Lagos and some of my boyfriends reside in other states in Nigeria. How did I lose my phone? If I remember how I lose my phone, it use to amuse me a lot. I was on my own bed reading some fashion magazines when my phone rang so I checked to know who was calling my phone and it happens to be a guy I met in a bus on my way to Yaba. That day I went to buy some okrika wears (or bend down select). So that day I board a bus from Ikotun to cele express and again I asked my girlfriend who was coming from Ago palace to wait for me at cele express so that we can go to Yaba to buy some clothes. I also have intentions of buying some food stuffs too at Oyingbo market but I didn’t tell her because I know that she will be complaining that I want to take the whole of her time that day so I refuse to tell her but I know that when we are done buying those clothes I want, I will beg her to be my escort to Oyingbo. So that day in the bus, I met this handsome guy. I use to fall in love with handsome guys very much and I don’t know why. Whether you are working or not, whether you have money or not, once you are handsome you have won fifty percent of my heart. Yeah, like I use to tell my girlfriend, everything is not money. I use to hear some guys say that girls like money but it is not true shey you get. So that day sha we chatted and he wooed me, I liked him but I don’t want to look so cheap so I was just acting like I am not interested in him. We exchanged contacts that day then we left.  Then six weeks after we met, this guy called me and told me that he missed me, that I should come and visit him that day. I already understand what he wants for I am not a child. So I ask him to send me location and he did. When I visited him, he welcomed me and asked me to make myself comfortable. He lived in a mini flat, he is single and a working class. So after sometime he started to make some sexual advances to me, because I love him I allowed him to have his own share of the national cake. We had great sex together and I really enjoyed it. After having two rounds of sex, he begged me to stay with him throughout the night, that early in the morning I can leave. That he will give me a lift when he is going to work that morning but I refused and I know why. So I was surprised to see his call again after some months, so I picked his call and we got talking on the phone that day. So he told me that his friend wants to celebrate his birthday that weekend and he wants me to be there. I agreed to go to the birthday with him if he will come and give me a ride to the place and he agreed. 
The weekend came and we attended the birthday party. The party was hot that night and I had so much fun that night. From the party, he took to a suit that he has booked already and we had some rounds of sex that night. This guy wanted to kill me that night. I don’t know the drug he took but he was strong and long lasting that night. I can’t count how many times I had orgasms. Before you know it, he is cleaning the plate, shinning my Congo and before you know it again, we don Dey knack Akpako, as in we made love to each other to the extent that I begged him to stop so that he will not kill me that night. Because if I had allowed him, this guy is ready to kill me. Well I don’t know his intentions but I know I really enjoyed every moment we had that night. That night, he was the one that gave me a lift to my street. Immediately I alighted from his car and I started to head to my apartment, I saw some guys coming out from their hidings and attacked me. They forcefully took all my belongings including my phone. My earrings, chain on my neck and on my ankle, and my SAMSUNG phone. I screamed for help but it never worked. It was so painful to me that I lose my things to those criminals and they are gone just like that. So I was confused and I don’t know what to do at the moment since I shouted loudly for help and nothing happened. I removed my high heeled shoes , held them in my hands, sat on the floor and started to wail. One Good Samaritan that heard my voice, came to me,  lifted me up, carried me to my apartment and left. I wanted to call the guy that gave me a lift and tell him about everything that happened that early morning but no phone was with me. I had to wait till morning. So the day was bright, I went straight to my friend’s place who lived close to me in the next street. After I narrated my story to her, she comforted me and asked me to go to the police station there in Ikotun and report what happened to me in the station. I told her that I am not ready for all those wahala right now. So she walked with me down to my apartment, she stayed with me for a long period, assisted me in cooking some meal for us to eat and dressing my place. From time to time, she will be comforting me to make sure I am fine. Few days later, I got a Palasa and retrieve my lost sim that same day at Ikotun. I was happy that at least I can be reachable on the phone and life must go on no matter what.
Few days later, the guy called me. Immediately I picked his call, he sound so worried and was asking me what happened to my phone, I then narrated the story to him on how I lose my phone and other of my belongings to those thieves that attacked me so he felt bad about it and sympathized with me. So he asked me to send my account number to him for he wants to replace my lost phone for me. He wants to buy another phone for me so that I will be happy. So I sent my account details to him and after few minutes, I got an alert of four hundred and fifty thousand naira. I was so happy to receive such amount of money to get myself a better phone. I told my friend about the good news, how my guy wants to get me a brand new phone. In short he has sent the money to my account and I have received a message alert of four hundred and fifty thousand naira just now. Immediately she heard the good news, she screamed to express her happiness, I can even see the excitement in her voice when she visited me. Few hours after our phone conversation, she appeared in my house with so much happiness and she demanded that I must celebrate it with her. I told my friend to calm down let me buy the phone first then we can celebrate. My friend was not happy that I asked her to wait for me to buy my new phone and I didn’t even look at her face one bit. So my friend left me, not because she was angry with what I did but because she has something to do in her place. She told me that she will visit the next day to check on me and also spend some time with me. I agreed with her and she left. The next day I was supposed to go and get my new phone but I had this funny feeling so I refused to go and get the phone that day. I was busy doing some chores at home and also I cooked some special delicacy for my friend and myself so that we shall have something to eat by the time she comes around. I was done doing my work at home so I took my bath, change my wears, went straight to the kitchen and took small food just to taste what I prepared. After I took some food, I went to the sitting room and sat, the remote of the TV was close to me so I tuned the channel to a movie channel that afternoon. I saw one foreign movie that is so full of action. As I was watching the movie, I heard a knock on the door. I got up from the chair,  went straight to the door, look through the eye of the door and saw my friend waiting for me to open the door, I use the key on the mouth of the lock to open the door, immediately my friend saw me she ran and hug me. We both went to sit on my three seater chair after I locked my door. We greeted each other well and I hurriedly went to the kitchen to dish the food for my friend and myself so that eat. I was very hungry and it was because of her I haven’t eaten. I had to wait for her so that we can enjoy the sumptuous meal I took my time to prepare for us. As I was dishing the meal, I just heard a voice saying,”oh, this food smells good, it must be delicious”. I quickly turned around in fear and saw my friend behind me. Babe, you really scared me. What are you doing here in my kitchen sef? You were supposed to be watching that movie so that you will gist me the part I missed by the time I come. Now you are here with me in the kitchen doing nothing. When you know that you are not useful here why did you come? I will no longer understand that movie again since I missed some scenes already. As I was talking, my friend was just laughing at what I was saying. I asked her what was funny and she said nothing. So I quickly carried my food and hurriedly went to the sitting room to continue the movie, I left her in the kitchen to dish her food, if she likes let her not dish her food. Let her be waiting for me to come back into the kitchen and serve her. As I was eating my food and seeing the movie on TV, my friend came to the sitting room with her food. I screamed immediately I saw her food and she started to laugh. Babe so you want to finish my fried chicken abi, see how you pack them and I am sure you won’t be able to finish them. I have not bought my phone and you are eating like this, what if I buy my new phone, what will happen? She said nothing but laughed at my statement. I told her to be laughing because the next time I will visit her, I will finish her food. We both pass the night together at my place. When we were done arranging my wardrobe late that night so we slept late together in my house. We woke from sleep and got up from bed, we brushed our teeth, took our bath,ate some breakfast and also preparing to go to phone stores at Ikeja in other to get my new phone. I was so excited that I was going to get my new phone today and I can’t wait so I told my friend to hurry up so that we can go out together so she complied. After we were done eating, I used BOLT to order a taxi that will come and pick my friend and me to ikeja that morning. Before we got to ikeja, I told my friend that I will like to use iPhone 8+, because it is a very strong phone and it has a durable battery that can last for a longer period of time. She said she has never seen such a phone like that so I told her she will see the phone when we get to the stores at Ikeja. As we got to Ikeja, the car dropped us where we can quickly alight without the police disturbing or arresting him. We both alighted from the car and walked straight to one of the stores I was told that phone is sold at good price. As my friend and I was heading to the store, I felt a hand pulling me so I turned and I saw Adam. I was angry but I quickly calm down and listen to what he has to say. He greeted my friend and me, he told me he will take me to where I can buy phones at a cheaper price , that we should follow him let him take us there and we refused to follow him.  I told him that I already know where I can buy my new phone, that a person like him will take us to a store where they will rip me off and even sell a phone to me that will not last so for that reason he should let us be. As we turned to continue to head to where we were going to, he walked in front of us and plead with me to follow him so that he can help me get a quality phone of my choice then anything I want to give him for assisting me, I can go ahead and give him, my friend looked at me and gave me a sign that we just just trust him and follow him. I looked at Adam and told him that it is because of my friend that made me want to follow him if not he is just wasting his time. Adam thanked my friend, he led the way and we followed him. After I bought my iPhone 8+, Adam tested the phone and told me that the phone is good, he also took me to where I can get pouch and screen guard. I was so glad that I have got myself a smarter phone compare to the Palasa I use. After I got the phone, I thanked Adam and moved outside the phone store with my friend. We were outside waiting for the cab I ordered from Bolt to come and pick us. Few minutes before the vehicle arrived, Adam came to me and requested for my contact, that he will like to be keeping in touch with me from time to time. I told him I don’t give my contact to people I am not interested in, I don’t know you very well so why ask for my number. I don’t have any business with you and moreover the business I have with you just ended in the shop so why ask for my number. He insisted that I must give him my contact and I said no. As we were debating on that, my friend who was with me then tapped me and ask me to give him my number even if I am not interested in him, it shows a sign of respect to Adam. Immediately she said that, I stared at her for some minutes as she was using body signs to ask me to give Adam my contact. I stretched my hands to Adam and he quickly brought out his phone and placed it in my hand. I quickly entered my phone number and gave him back his phone. The cab arrived on the spot when I was giving Adam back his phone. So I asked my friend to enter the front seat of the car while I sit at the back seat of the car. As we both board the car, Adam was asking me what name he should use to save my contact, I didn’t even answer him, I told the driver to zoom off and he did. As I looked back, I saw Adam running after the cab asking the driver to stop. I told the driver not to stop, he should continue driving and stop listening to Adam. On our way home, my friend started to advise me on what I did to Adam, telling me that what I did to Adam was rude and I should stop that behavior if I truly want a man to stay with me in an intimate relationship. That such behavior can piss a man off and they will walk out of the relationship with your notice. I gave her some I-don’t-care attitude and I-no-send look. After some few minutes, I started to think about what my friend just said and I found out that I really messed up and Adam will start to see me as a terrible person. I was just confused because what I was trying to do is to play hard-to-get so that he will not see me as a cheap girl. Throughout the trip, I was just rapt in thought concerning what I did to Adam till we got home. When we got home, I had a mood swing and started to behave funny towards my friend. Every little thing she will say, I will just flare up and shout at her like we had issues before. She saw that I was in a bad mood so she left my place without telling me. It was when I came out of my bedroom where I went to change my clothes I discover that she is not in the sitting room. I went round my apartment, calling her name but no answer and again she was no where to be found. I picked up my phone and called her but she kept busying my call. I got worried at that moment and I was asking myself what did I say to my friend that got her angry and she left my house without telling me. As I was asking myself, something told me that I must have offended her, I provoked her to an unbearable height that would have her to leave my house just like that. I felt guilty about my actions so I quickly call her several times but no response. This is unbelievable! How came my friend is not picking my calls? What have I done to her to deserve this? Why is she acting like I crucified Jesus or I committed the worst sin ever that can never be forgiven? I began to get upset about her behavior. As I was furious and my heart was full of rage towards her, something within me told me to send a text message to apologize for my actions for I was the one that offended her and she has every right to be angry with me. Immediately I heard the little voice inside of me, I quickly send her a text message of apology to her. Few minutes later, my phone rang. I checked who was calling me and I saw that it was my friend that called me. I picked the call and we spoke at length. She really told me how bittered she was to me on how I treated her because she advised me to be treating Adam or any other man I meet with respect. After she expressed herself to me, I apologized to her and asked for her forgiveness. She then told me that she is not actually angry me and she is not having anything against me in her heart. That she just wanted to give me some space because I needed to be alone at that moment, that was why she left me so that I can figure things right once I am alone. I appreciated her and she asked if Adam has called me and I said no. She then ask me to be well behaved, I should be nice to him and I should not be rude to him in any way but I should respect him no matter what. I responded “Yes ma’am” and we bought laughed over my response. I was glad that my friend and I are in good terms after all.  My friend begged me to allow her to package some things for her customers , she went further to tell me that her customers ordered some items from her so she requires some time to package them before the dispatch rider will come to her place to pick those items for delivery. I told her no problem, I ended the call on her and I went straight to the kitchen to get some food for I was ravenous. The hunger no be here, I must confess. I really need some food before I will faint and if I don’t eat now, I can’t say what will happen but I know that something terrible will happen. To show you how hungry I was, the food I eat was cold. The food I ate I couldn’t cook the food so that it will be warm. I had to eat the food like that. After eating, I went straight to the bathroom to have my bath, I wore my Pyjama and went to the bed to lie down. I was afraid that I may sleep on the bed if care is not taken because it was soft and comfortable. So I got up from the bed and went to the sitting room to relax. I turn on the TV and the decoder near the TV. As the TV and decoder was on, I tuned in to a movie channel where I can see some foreign movies. As I got the channel, I then relax and watch some movies back to back.
