After sharing memes from 7am till 8pm, refreshing my timeline because I'm not texting anybody and preparing to sleep because nobody will text me.Maybe my soulmate was aborted because I've been single for three years now.It's not like I'm picky,I don't know,sometimes I don't like his head shape,leg,looks,stature,something is always wrong.I know I'm problematic.
Just as I was about to put off my data,a message from an unknown number popped up, "How was your day? Good evening". We chatted for a while,he seemed interesting,I learnt he is Okiki from Ibogun campus.When we were about to end the convo,I asked how he got my number, "I got your number from a friend. I thought that wasn't really important. I only wanted to know you and be your friend as well. If you don't feel comfortable,we all make choices Rita. I guess that's your name right?". He's cool,I thought to myself.
We talked everyday for two months,spent hours via FaceTime just talking,never running out of topics.He checked up on me every now and then.He talked to me about everything.He took note of everything I liked and ordered them from vendors in Ago.I got unexpected deliveries thrice a week with short notes like 'thanks for existing', 'sorry I missed your call', 'sorry you had to skip lunch because you were in class', 'you couldn't take junks for three days,you can have more than enough now', 'you should wear this to class tomorrow since you don't know what to wear', 'eat this before the rice is ready',eiii God am I dreaming??
Finally,we decided to meet at a party in Ago.Just as I was about to leave my apartment,I got a delivery of a gown,heel,bag and wig with a note,'I don't want to be stressed about what to wear'. I got to the party,met him and his friends and their girlfriends,I couldn't help but stare at him throughout. We FaceTimed and video called but he's more handsome in reality,his smile,his eyes,his hair, his dimples,he smells so nice.Compared to his friends' girlfriends,I'm not an option,omoooo I'm way out of his league.
We got along well and the question finally came, "Will you be my girl?"
"No"
"Why?"
"I like you,you're every girl's dream guy, you're close to perfection but…"
"But what?"
"You're from Ibogun and you're too good to be true"
