The door opened and i stood face to face with the guy i have been longing to see all day long.i threw my self into his waiting arms.
"you look good"he said
"like i should"i reply
"so what has been happening to you?"he asked as he sat me on his thighs
"nothing,just cant wait to pass out,our p.o.p is next month and im tired already"i answered
"don't worry ,before you know it,its next month,so what will you do with yourself after service?"he asked
I began to wonder why this guy was sounding boring,and again i asked myself if i hadn't wasted my time
"I plan to go back to asaba, and see what i can start up with there,hmmm,you look all dressed up,are you going out?"i asked
"i actually i was waiting for you,want to quickly see someone in festac.are you game?lets go together?"he asked
"thanx ,i 'll pass , i think i would rather have some sleep"i said
"okey dokey,i will be with you shortly"he said .He put on his shoes and left while i stayed back and decided to have some good sleep.
By the time i evetually woke up it was some minutes after seven in the evening,i must really be tired to have slept this long. realized Jesse wasn't even back yet since he left for festac. I decided to have a cool shower after which i ordered for some food and sat down to watch some movie.The noise from the life band at the pool side would not let me concentrate so i settled for a novel instead.
I was so engrossed in the sidney sheldon write up that i didnot know how far the day had gone,when i eventually checked the time again it was ten pm and Jesse was no where in sight.The night was so cold and my nightie was light so i decided to sleep in one of his big t-shirts.As i moved towards Jesse's luggage,the tagg on it caught my attention.Jesse had told me that he was on transit somewhere and he missed his flight and that was how he found himself sleeping in nigeria,so if he hadn't missed his supposed flight which i ofcourse didnot believe he wouldn't have called me?no problem about that,but the problem here is that the tag on the luggage read the previous month,which goes to show that he had been in town for more than a month and he only deemed it fit to call to me when we was on his way back ,no beef ,it only goes to show where he places me .Tht still didn't stop me from searching for the t-shirt,in fact i was more determined than ever to snoop.i put my hands deeper into the luggage and my my fingers came in contact with some thing velvety.out of my curiosity i took my time and brought out alll the clother in the box ,not minding the fact that he could just walk in.i didn't even give a hoot,i needed to know if i still had a relationship or not and guess what i came up with?a very small red velvet box and in it lay the cutest heartshaped stone studded wedding band i had ever seen.I stared at in awe,it was so beautiful ,i kept staring at it as i gently sat on the bed.i didn't know when a tear dropped on my hand.i had mixed feelings as i stared at it over and over again .i wasn't just comfortable cause the presence of the ring meant a lot of things,it could be for me and it could be for someone else.I picked up the t-shirt i wanted and kept the ring the way i saw it.i would just have to wait for him to come tell me cause the presence of that ring meant alot of things,it could either be for me or for someone else.
When Jesse eventually came back ,he came in drunk,i began to wonder what manner of man he was,at his age he should know when the drink was getting too much,the worst was that he didn't even have the chance to talk ,he just took off his clothes and went into bed.i knew it , i knew i wasted my time flying down to lagos but i guess God just wanted me to come see certain things for myself .I couldn't sleep ,i just sat down looking at him as he slept and snorred.and then my eyes caught his phone which he tried to conceal under the pillow.i went through his phone and that erased all all doubts.my dear good old Jesse has three different woman,myself exclusive whom he has promised to take to the alter,one was french and the others nigerians,one already has a daughter for him and like the tag on the luggage confirmed,he actually came into town last month and he wasn't on transit anywhere,he was actually on is way back to wherever.I had a good mind to leave his room that night and go i.j's place to spend the night but then i remembered my fare back to enugu and the refund he will have to make for my coming down.I sat right there and saw my relationship of seven years crumble before my eyes.I put on my clothes and decided to go have some beer and cigarette at kingsize.
