On the following week, I keep chating with betty and on

the second week. I made my intentions known to her

but she told me she isn’t interested in any relationship

for now until she finishes her Msc programme.

She told me her dad is out of the country and owns a

business empire in Abuja with branches in lagos,

portharcout and Enugu. She told me that her mother is

late and she has a elder brother who got married about

2 and half years ago. She also told me that they her

brother and her are the only children of their parents.

We discussed a lot of things and we became more

intimate. She saw me as a confidant and I saw her as

one also.

I keep disturbing her that I loved her and wanted her to

be my girl and she keep giving me the same response.

On the 26th of that month which was on friday. She

told me that she would be returning to lagos on sunday

so we agreed to meet on saturday at my house.

I sent my address details to Betty and she arrived at

my house on that saturday afternoon. I entertained her

and we started chating.

ME: betty, I’m going to miss you.

BETTY: I will miss you more dear.

ME: are you going on public transport?.

BETTY: why should I go on public transport when I

have my own small car.

ME: **smiled** don’t mind me jaree. I thought it

belongs to grandma.

BETTY: no, its mine, it was my graduation gift after

finishing from the university with a 2.1.

Me: waooooh, what a brilliant girl.

BeTTY: don’t mind me jaree.

ME: please, I want to have your pictures on my phone

so as to be looking at it whenever I miss you since I

have been begging you to be my wife and you refused.

BETTY: haa! Onihaxy now, I’m not saying I can’t marry

you, I only said I needed time for myself.

ME: anyway, I won’t loose hope nor give up until you

become mine.

BETTY: **smiled***

ME: let me have you phone, I want to send few of your

pictures to my phone.

BETTY: ***handed her phone over to me****, this is

the phone.

I was scrolling through the phone and saw 3 of my

pictures which she saved from BBM, I smiled as I

continued scrolling and viewing her picture till I saw

the picture of her carrying a small baby.

ME: ***called on her**** is this your baby?

BETTY: **came closer**** no, its my elder brother’s

daughter. She is a year and 2 months old.
