MY FACEBOOK GIRL SEASON 2
EPISODE 10
I was coming to work one morning when I overheard one of our factory workers discussing with his friend on how he met a girl through badoo. Instantly, I remembered I once had an account with badoo which I never used for over a year. I got to my table that day and logged on to my badoo on my phone, I checked out some girls who are closer to me. I drafted a short romantic introductory sermon and did copy and paste to about 15 of them introducing myself and telling them to reply me with their BBM pins for a better communication.
When I got home in the evening, I checked on my account and saw a message from a girl named âBettyâ. She replied my mail with her bbm pin and I added her up.
I checked out her pictures and they were fine and ok, she has an average height, fair in complexion, she has a little big butts with an average size oranges. We got talking along the line and she told me she is 26, based in lagos and came to vist her Grandma in Ado ekiti.
Within a 2 weeks, we became friends and we had started talking on phone and exchanging text messages. I found her so caring and loving.
She would always call me like thrice a day and she would always engage me in chats. I so much like betty and I never had any lustful thoughts towards her. I told her to visit me at home but she refused.
I tried persuading her but betty wonât just agree to visit. When I saw that it wasnât working, I told her to visit me at my work place and she refused also. She said we can only meet at an eatery.
âWhich kind rubbish be this na â.
I wanted to back out because other girls had also been responding to me from badoo. I donât want a commitment relationship, all I want is just a Bleep-mate.
But as days went by, I found myself falling inlove with betty. I was so much inlove with her that I wasnât having the courage to ask her out so as not to ruin our friendship.
At last, we both agreed to meet at one eatery in Ado ekiti on a saturday afternoon.
On that fateful saturday, I had my bath, freshen up, put on a nice wear and proceed to the eatery. As my custom, anytime I wanted to meet any lady in a eatery, I always get there first before the lady so as to look through the glass to observe if she is coming alone or coming with hungry friends, and the moment I observed that she had friends tagged with her, I simply use the exit door so as not to embarass myself when I couldnât foot bills.
I got to the eatery at 12 noon and gave her a call and she told me that she was on her way, I found an empty seat close to the glass and I was observing from the glass to see her when she is coming. I looked and looked for over 40minutes and I couldnât see her. I called her phone again and she wasnât picking up.
âHaaaa!!!, abi this girl don disappoint me ni?â.
After several minutes of hopeless waiting. I went to the table and I ordered for a pie with a can of coke, I returned to my table and I was watching music videos been played on sound city and eating the pie little by little so as to sustain me till her arrival and beyond. I was so much carried away by the music videos and I forgot that I was waiting for someone.
About 5 minutes later, I saw a lady walking into the eatery, she looked so much like betty and I was convinced that she was the one and I waved at her. She saw me and she came to my side and sat down infront of me. Betty wasnât flashy. She wore a simple ankara gown, no heavy makeup and her hair was packed to the back and not plaited.
âChaiii, this girl na one hungry girl oooo, she no even dey sophisticatedâ I thought as I was smiling and staring at her.
ME: my dearest betty, I set my eyes on you atlast.
BETTY: hmmmm, same here.
ME: **stretched forward** so, what do you care for?
**** heart beating faster make she no demand for 5 plates of chicken****
BETTY: a bottle water and probably a pie is ok.
ME: **this babe dey form for me abi?, me sef go form Porsche**, no dear, you canât take that, let me get you a plate of rice and soft drinks.
BETTY: no, Iâm purging so I donât take soft drinks, and I just finished eating rice with grandma at home, so my tommy is filled up already.
ME: ***hmm, thank God, atleast, my money is saved** Are you sure you are ok with that?, or you think I wonât be able to foot bills **smiled***
BETTY: ***laughed*** you are so funny Onihaxy. So you mean you have money to foot bills?
ME: **laughed** yes na
BETTY: donât worry then, I will get a take away for myself, grandma, and my little sisters at home when Iâm leaving here.
ME: ***chaiiii, I don die today, onihaxy!!, see how your mouth pushed you inside trouble****sweating inside AC***
I stood up to place a order for Betty. I got to the counter and opened my wallet to pay for what I bought. I realized I had just 1,500naira left with me. I returned back to my table with a forced smile pretending to be ok, but deep down inside me, I wasnât ok.
BETTY: **smiled** thanks for the meal
ME: **smile by force** you are welcome.
BETTY: **eating** so, tell me about your occupation.
ME: **lost in thoughts** you mean me?
BETTY: yes na.
ME: ehmmm, I work as a secretary and also a P.A to the manager of a pure water company.
BETTY: thatâs nice.
ME: ***eating my remaining pie with force*** you are welcome.
BETTY: so, how is your girlfriend?, tell me about her
ME: me?, girlfriend?
BETTY: yes. You look uncomfortable, hope no problem?
ME: not at all, I was just wondering if I locked my room door properly this morning when leaving.
BETTY: eeyah. Sorry oo, so answer my question
ME: I donât have any girlfriend at the moment.
BETTY: hmmmm, what happen to the previous one you had?
ME: she left me for a rich guy, so I have decided to work hard and make money before going into another relationship.
BETTY: eeyah, sorry about that.
ME: you are welcome.
BETTY: so when will you have enough money for another relationship?
ME: hopefully soon.
BETTY: **smiled*** so what makes you think the next girl wonât dump you for another richer dude?.
ME: thatâs one of my greatest fear
BeTTY: you are so funny onihaxy.
ME: thanks oooooo. So what about you?, how about your guy?.
BETTY: hmmmmmmm, he is fine.
ME: why hmmmmm?. I sensed something fishy
BETTY: well, its a story for another day. Where do you say you are living?
ME: not too far from here.
BETTY: maybe I would try to visit you before I return to lag.
ME: waoooh, I will be happy. When are you travelling?
BETTY: ending of this month
ME: thatâs 3 weeks from now.
BETTY: yeah.
ME: **smiled** so tell me more about you.
BETTY: hmmm, ask me what you want to know about me
ME: you told me you graduated last year. So do you work?
BETTY: hmmmmm, not really.
ME: I donât understand
BETTY: Iâm managing somewhere and still job hunting. Will you help me with a job? ***smiled***
ME: here in ado or lagos?
BETTY: me?, Ado for where?, this your local village?
ME: for where?. Na state capital ooooo â
BETTY: hmmmm, if not for my grandma who refused to come to lag, will I ever step into this village?.
ME: hmmmmm
BETTY: you have a nice look, feminine face and nice lips. Keep it up
ME: hmmmmmm. Teasing me abi?
BETTY: not at all
ME: you arenât looking bad as well. You are even prettier in real life than in pictures
BETTY: **laughs***
We continued to gist, make jokes and chat on random topics for the next 25 minutes.
BETTY: I would soon be going, I told grandma I wonât stay long.
ME: **heart beat faster and shocked*** eeyah. So till when?
BETTY: we would talk on phone now
ME: ***chaii, how will I pay for the take aways oooo*** ok dear.
BETTY: let me get the take away, **stood up and walked to the counter and I followed***
She approached the table and ordered for 3 take-aways of rice. The cashier told us that it was 3k. âChai, wetin I go do oooooo?â.
I smiled and dipped my hand in my back pocket to remove my wallet. I flipped through it and counted the money. âOops, the cash on me isnât enoughâ. I brought out my ATM card and told the cashier that I wanted to use POS.
âWhat is POS?â The cashier asked.
â Point of sales machineâ I replied.
The cashier replied âWe donât have that here. If you want to use ATM, walk down to the 3rd junction and branch inside, you would see an ATM to use thereâ.
Betty was just smiling at me as she stood still there looking at the drama between the cashier and I. She dipped her hand inside her purse and paid the cashier. I looked at her and I was dumb. I felt so embarrassed and donât know what to utter.
We walked out of the eatery and people were staring at us as we are walking out,
âchaii, shame catch me but I just locked upâ .
I opened the door and we stood outside the eatery for a little chat.
ME: I didnât check my wallet earlier sha. I didnât know that I donât have sufficient money in my wallet. Please follow me to the ATM and let me withdraw some money for you.
BETTY: **smiled** donât worry onihaxy,I am not asking for a refund.
ME: ***began to form again*** no now betty, I promised to buy the take aways for you earlier so let me pay for it.
BETTY: ok, if you insist, then keep it till the next time we will meet, I will collect it then.
ME: ok dear. So which one would take you home faster, a taxi or a bike?.
BETTY: ****smiling and silent***
ME: hmmm, always smiling, ok, I think a bike would be better
BETTY: ***smiling continued****
We hugged and I held her hand as we walked toward the main road. I stopped a bike and told the bike man to take betty to her destination.
She just stood still for about 10seconds smiling before telling the bike man to go. I was baffled and I told her âdonât you like the bike or you want to take a taxi?â.
She smiled and reply me, ânot really, I donât need a bikeâ.
She held her nylon on one hand and her purse on the other hand. She walked about 5 feet from where we stood and walked towards a black Honda Evil Spirit packed by the side of the road. She opened her purse and brought out a key, opened the door and entered. I stood still with my mouth wide open and speechless. She drove to the position where I was standing and she lowered the glass of the door.
âOnihaxy, come inside, let me drop you off â
âDonât worry dear, I wanted to visit a friend at the next streetâ I replied.
She waved at me and drove off. I stood still there and it seems as if the ground should open and swallow me as I was watching the car moving away slowly.
