Episode 9.
We are currently experiencing shorter days and longer nights during this period. Not long after the cock was already crowing signaling it was 4:35am in the morning. In my thoughts earlier this morning I decided on speaking to Fame about my conclusions when I come back this evening. I offered my morning prayers as it was the only Important practice that followed me to adulthood from childhood. I particularly prayed about Fame and Alex after which I left for work.
Balancing today's account was annoying today."just didn't seem to get anything right " After my third trial I retired for the day. I glanced at my wristwatch and it was already 5:00pm. I called up Fame so we could "meet and talk " .
'He was cool with it '.
I decided we met at one of "THE PLACE"outlets in Lagos cause right now I really need a good food treat and their heavenly blessed on earth jollof rice spiced with green beans, sweet corn and chunks of beef with cold Chi Exotic will do perfect justice to my groaning stomach.
Fame already arrived before me so there was no difficulty in finding a comfy table to sit. We placed our order just as I have imagined. After having my sumptuous meal I started out on my reason for a "meet and talk"
"Fame, there is something I need to tell you".
"OK, go on.
'The phone call yesterday'.
" Alex's call?.
"Yes".I don't mean to upset you but I lied about it.
" I knew it".
"you knew I did?
"Yes. Didn't want to upset you.
OK. Thank you.
'you're welcome'.
'So Alex called yesterday confessing his feelings to me'. "He said he needs me back " He wants us back. Me and him.
"What was your response?
'I told him I'm not promising a yes but I will get back to him'.
OK'. So what are you planning on answering?
'A NO definitely '.
'Are you sure?
'Yes I am. Why do you ask?
'You still look attached to him'.
'No way. I'm done with him, I'm not going back.
'OK '.
'Errr...Fame I… ..
'Yes. You what?
'Never mind.
'You know how I hate that '
'Oh I forgot sorry '.
How do I start explaining all I concluded this morning to him.
I guess I have to go my own way.
**********************sighs*******************
Fame what if I said I was no longer interested?
'OK. Your reason?
'I don't have any'.
'You're joking right?
'it's just a question '.
OK you can't just wake up one morning deciding you are no longer interested Tell me why? I'm I making you sad? I'm IQ giving you stress?
'No. Not at all.
Saying I can't be his wife and his children's step mom will only worsen the situation and so I said. No reason. I just don't want to go on anymore. ' I don't want to come too far with you then cut you off.
'And is that not what you are doing now?
'No. I am not just interested, that's it.
'Is it because of Alex?
"Never".
'There must be a reason, tell me'.
'There is none. I feel you are not for me. You ain't mine'.
