DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 108

Me: You’re married to your job right? Perhaps you mean to say you’re married to me, Femi, your real job!
.
Deola: Excuse me! Marry you? Abeg ooo. I don’t want to be girl number 7. I am ok as I am
.
Well, have you guys ever heard of the saying, “taking the bull by the horn”? I took a risk that evening. A bold step that can either end in sweetness or end in bitterness. In essense, I took a chance to see if I can be lucky with Deola. Who knows? She might be thinking what I am thinking too
.
There is no harm in trying now. So, with her back turned towards my direction, I stood up from my chair, walked silently to where she was standing and held her from the back
.
Me: 7, they say, is a perfect number; it symbolizes completeness, accomplishment, perfection, wholeness, fulfillment and satisfaction. Think of this Deola: what will it cost you to make my life complete?
.
Deola: Hey Mr. Femi, are you wooing me or you are acting up?
.
Me: Have I ever said such words to you before. I mean every word I said
.
She turned around, gave me one wicked look and said
.
Deola: I am disappointed in you Femi. I held you in high esteem before but now, I doubt your integrity. What are you saying to me? Do I look cheap to you? Come to think of it, if you can do this on my first visit to your house, what proof have you that you won’t rape me the next time I visit? You know what? I think I have overstayed my welcome. I should be on my way now
.
Me: Nooooo. Please Deola… I am just acting up. I don’t mean it seriously,Haba? Don’t take it too far now. Can’t a brother crack some jokes?
.
Deola: Jokes? It better be o; or else, hmm!
.
Me: Ok. I am sorry. Apologies
.
Deola: Accepted. It’s getting late though. Let me start going
.
Me: Ha? It’s not 7pm yet now. You only arrived not long ago Ms
.
Deola: Wait Mr. Let’s behave like civilised people that we are. Call me Deola and I call you Femi
.
Me: If that’s what will make you stay a little longer, fine, …Deola.
.
Deola: Thanks, Femi
.
