Back at Unilag, Segun and I were inseparable. I mean, being one of the few female students studying Mechanical Engineering meant that I had lots of guys around me all the time, but in the midst of them all, Segun had a special place in my heart. We were often teased about being an 'item' but we shoved it off. I was way too concerned with getting a first class at the time, so relationships were the last thing on my mind. But that was three years ago, the story is different now. I'm so ready for the next phase of my life. I've got the first class honours, the job to die for at Chevron, but no guy on the horizon. I'm so tired of being a professional bridesmaid. I can even vouch that I make the most visits to Bella Naija website, but only to look at the wedding section. This wedding fever is so bad that there's barely any guy I meet without wondering if he's "the one".
Anyway, so I met up with Segun at some Chinese Restaurant on the Island and it was exactly like old times- unending gist and loads of laughter (mehn, that guy is funny sha). But there was something else I noticed this time; his looks. Like seriously, how can someone be this ridiculously handsome and tall at the same time? Is that fair? Within two seconds of our
We got really close, too close to be honest. Everything seemed perfect, I already knew his family, he knew mine, he was my plus one to my weekly bridesmaid duties (seriously, I should have been paid for that, it was like my part time job), he would listen to me rant about my job for hours (although I really loved it at Chevron, well let's be honest, it was the money) and he being in a similar but more senior role at Mobil would offer me lots of practical advice. We had been going steady like that for about three months, but yours truly wasn't 100% sure where she stood with him, so I spoke to Biola my bestie about it.
Biola had been married for ten months and theirs seemed like the perfect marriage, from the outside anyway. Biola adviced me to start dropping obvious hints and also try to get him jealous and right away it clicked, I had been giving him too much of my time yes, that was the problem I concluded. So for the next three weeks, my plan was to let him see less of me with the excuse that I was going on dates after which I'd happily gist him about the non-existent dates. O boy, this guy no wake up o, he'll happily listen and tell me who to consider going on a second date with. Chai!

"You're more than a million friends wrapped in one, combined with the beauty of another one million. You're incredibly smart and talented, a great cook, if I must add (nothing beats your efo riro). Here's wishing you a lovely birthday, I love you now and always. P.S: we should totally get married, we're both single, right? Haha, nah! You're just like a sister to me"
What? This guy just "sister-zoned" me, but he could not even do it one-on-one, he had to do it on INSTAGRAM, like really? Just when I had concluded our wedding arrangements. Life can be so unfair..lol.
And oh, you already guessed right, dinner was horrible. I completely lost my appetite.

Excellent write up, well done!
ReplyDeleteShe should not give up though, he may just be trying to find out how she feels about him, it may be his own way of dropping a hint to her.
Thanks for reading everyone and thanks for taking out time to leave a comment.
