I jumped out of my bed like I was running late for my own wedding. The crazy thing is that it was my manager's ringtone that kept buzzing in my head and for the first time in five years I'm actually thinking about the lyrics of the song that won't stop ringing out loud even during very important meetings. My manager is a mess with technology but super efficient at her tasks and she's very humane in her dealings. You cannot help but love her, so I forgive her phone's loudness.
To be candid, just like the lyrics of the song said, I need to stay motivated and follow what my heart truly desires. The problem here is that I don't seem to remember when I ever got what I truly wanted. After high school, I remember I badly wanted to become an actor but I dared not speak about such a career path in my home. Else, my parents would have had me for breakfast and I am not kidding. So, my father filled out my phone and chose economics. Well, I got in, finished with a first class and I thought about working in this consulting firm in the UK but Alas, I didn't get the job and had to settle for one of the big 4 firms in the country.
Now, let's talk about when I wanted to move out of our family home. My parents were quick to remind me that only marriage can change my house address. It's so bad that I had to lie that my company gave me the car I drive or else my parents would not let me drive any car above a 2006 model because according to them, it'll chase potential suitors away.
So you see, all my life I have never been allowed to have what my heart desires. And yes, there was one time I had hoped I'd marry this strikingly handsome son of Adam but somehow I lost him to stupidity.
My friend now ex-friend Ife had always praised our relationship. I mean who wouldn't? Dami and I were a match made from heaven, we were perfect, excelling in school and social life. We had even planned to get married after school and relocate to the US. Then, Ife the devil, came and told me Dami tried to seduce her and instead of me, to verify from Dami or at least hear him out, I just believed her and cut him off. She had begged me not to reveal the discussion to him because she's scared he might hurt her and because women support women I fell for the biggest game plan in history.
Less than a year after we graduated, I heard Ife was pregnant for Dami. This news landed me in the hospital and malaria had to take the fall for it. Kanyi, explained that Ife had eyes for Dami and his parents' wealth and she's sure she lied to get me to hate him.
No wonder Dami tried to visit me severally to.get me to talk to him. I even thought he was faking amnesia and then I blocked him on all platforms. I thought he had been deceiving me and I trusted my girl more, because we've been friends since high school and she had become like a sister to me. Well, I learnt the hard way that humans are not to be trusted.
I couldn't but help wonder what had become of their marriage. I'm sure they are waxing stronger and I'm here single to stupor and crazily finding a way to exit my parents house cos I need my freedom. I looked him up on instagram and the man is even hotter, they even have three cute children. He's super successful and has established his own tech company. I remember how he'll talk to me about this for hours and now that fool IFE is queening on his empire.
I sent him a dm and like they say the rest is history. He booked the next available flight and he was in my city by the weekend. CEO moves. I had to sweet talk my boss into giving me two weeks off. She obliged only because I told her an old friend was coming to town and once she found out he was Male…she already started picking wedding colors. I was sure to leave out the fact that he's married or else she'll drag my ass to her church for deliverance and counseling sessions.
Without a doubt, I had to lie to my parents that I had work in another city and since travelling is a regular occurrence in my line of work no eye brows were raised. I packed my bags, jumped into an uber and headed for the hotel. Dami was already there…..
It was the most intense 150 minutes of my entire life. It was the first time Dami knew what caused my attitude and he was raving mad. Firstly, he was angry, I believed her. Secondly, he was broken that I didn't even give him the benefit of the doubt to hear him out. He then went on babbling about how she started to comfort him when I fenced him out of my life and how he slept with her just once and suddenly he had to marry her because she was pregnant. I now started to blame him for sleeping with her, he should have controlled himself or dated somebody else not IFE. At the end of the day, we were both exhausted and we shed hot tears.
I really wish I could turn back the hands of time and undo this madness but it is what it is. I'm about to become a side chick of a man that ought to be mine and I bet you I'll be giving IFE the greatest misery of her entire life.
As expected, we had sex without condoms and here I was happy that'll I soon disgrace my parents but I wasn't thinking, I was just too happy to have Dami back. We even flew to Dubai and I had the most expensive vacation ever. My two weeks break was over and I had to get back to work.
It's been almost two years since I became the rich side chick of the CEO who still lived in her parents house. The sad part though is that I have been unable to get pregnant and I was beginning to get worried that I might have a medical issue. For starters, I have never been pregnant in my life and I have had sexual relations with two men outside of Dami. I was worried, really worried that I was going for a medical test and because I was scared of someone finding me out. Dami and I thought it was best to visit a gynecologist in a far away city than where we both live and we got on the trip. In the spirit of supporting me, he said we should act like couples, so if I had any issue they could prescribe drugs that'll help me conceive and he'll hide his baby on a faraway island with all the best nannies and chefs of this world. I love Dami….I swear I do.
The greatest surprise here is that my tests came out negative. The doctor confirmed that I had no problem conceiving at least medically but Dami had low sperm count and cannot father a child till he undergoes treatment.
HA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
