DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 107

Deola: Mr., no ermmmm stuff. No holds barred
.
Me: 6
.
Deola: Jesus! What? Are you Fela? 
Me: It’s complicated really
.
She mimmicked my statement in a mocking manner
.
Deola: Hmmmm, complicated. That’s interesting
.
Me: Tell me, are you a virgin?
.
She looked shell-shocked that I could asked her such a question. With uncertainty written all over her face, she managed to reply me
.
Deola: Wow! That’s huge. Shouldn’t that be a private matter?
.
Me: You made the rule: no holds barred!
.
Deola: Ok. No, I am not. I had my first s*x when I was in Birmingham at age 19
.
Me: With a white boy I guess?
.
Deola: Does it matter? I need not ask you if you are a virgin, for you have been in 6 different relationships. Wow! What about now? Any luck with your hunt?
.
I felt ridiculed by her question. It sound more like a mockery. In order to save face, I denied Ini and said
.
Me: No one. I am alone now and I think I am happy this way!
.
Deola: I don’t believe you Mr. You are way too smart and cocky not to have a girlfriend
.
Me: Say all you want
.
Deola: C’mon, you live in a good house, you work with MTN, you are handsome and voice is heart-melting. I can’t have that lie Mr., you sure a have girl
.
Me: Perhaps you are the girl…and I wouldn’t mind having someone like you
.
She kept quiet for a while when I thus replied her. She stood up for her chair and said
.
Deola: You can’t have me, I am not available. Besides, I am not looking for any relationship. I love my job and I am married to it
.
While she was speaking, Ini sent me a text that she will be leaving anytime soon. She had planned with other girls to close a little early that day by 7pm. In her text message she also asked
.
“Should I still come?”
.
Ha? Come ke? I thought of how to reply her so that she can be discouraged. While Deola was waiting for my response, I took permission to quickly reply Ini’s message
.
“Sorry my queen. Since you’ve told me earlier that you will not be coming, I’ve decided to go see a friend in Phase 1, and I won’t be back anytime soon. So, let’s make it Monday.”
.
After sending the message, I replied Deola flirtatiously
