I was in the restaurant working as usual but i noticed that there was a young lady, who always comes over just sit, read magazines and glance at her phone all day.
And goes home so out of curiosity I walked up to this beautiful soul and her fragrance which could set the room on fire she's dark skinned and curvy like a true African woman, but she's a Canadian her mum is from Nigeria Igbo to be precise.
I just knew that she was my Boss's daughter.
Oh I forgot to tell you her wonderful name, Faith is her name and is not just a name thing! She's a believer we had fun I just saw her as my female best friend we attended the local assembly together to worship God, but her mum wasn't happy with this friendship.
I got invited for dinner so many times her dad was cool with the friendship, just her mum.
We never had sex which I didn't mind at all, as far I heard someone of the opposite sex to share my emotions with.
Her brother met us strolling and got a idea that we were dating and stuff, I knowing who I am!! Not ready for any big change right now, just want to focus on God.
I can't give her what she was asking for, I don't want to promise her relationship so people assumed that she's my girlfriend even my mum.
But we were just friends until her cousin came visiting and she was like,
Hey!! Cuz meet my boyfriend frederick! I was shocked and played along.
I went to her and said but we are not dating ! When did I ask you out ? I just liked you as a friend I thought I made it clear.
I got a call from home that my mum has been rushed to the hospital that her lungs are damaging gradually and would need a transplant.
My mum after hearing the news still didn't stop smoking, faith helped me with the money for the transplant and my brother's tuition fee into college.
I was really grateful to her but I never had feelings for her, yes she kissed me and I kissed her back it was just in the moment nothing else.
So weeks passed after the operation my mum didn't stop smoking nor drinking, she continued. I prayed she should stop but no way
So I decided to give this relationship thing a chance with faith that was when I overheard her mum telling her not to date me, I'm a worker in their restaurant what would people say.
So I walked out without hearing what faith had to say, so her cousin came into the restaurant and was like my sister's better half how are you? With the anger in I replied we are not dating.
Not now, not ever so faith came into the restaurant and was like what's the silence for? Her cousin said ask your fake lover and laughing.
Faith drag me out of the restaurant and was like after the love I showed you this is the way you want to pay me back, I told you I only saw you as a friend.
Nothing less my mum was right no matter how you feed and clothe a pig, the pig will always run to mud.
She insulted me I have forgotten some I didn't say anything because I know she was hurt, I tried to comfort her but she refused.
My mum new lungs had complications, and she was on supplements to survive now.
Faith and I would have just remained friends now I don't have money for another transplant.
