diary of a babe around town-wots love got to do with it?3

    I took a long drag on my cigarette and puffed it out of my nostrils,as tears rolled down my cheeks,if only,if only i had known,i wouldn't have just bothered coming down to lagos.That son of a bitch,how did i even fall in Love with him in the first place ,i wondered. i took a sip from my glass of beer and promised to pay him back in his own coin.
"Don't you think you are smoking too much?"i heard a voice say behind me
"i  pay my bills and if i remember clearly i didn't come here with anyone and for crying out loud its my life and my choice"i snapped at him                                                                                                                               "you are on your tenth stick of cigarette and you say its your life and your choice?i don't know you from Adam but im not gonna allow you smoke yourself to death,for crying out loud ,there should be decorum"he said as he pulled the cigarette of my hand.i hadn't really turned to look at the face of my supposed guardian angel but then in my whole anger ,i turned and gave him a slap"i think you should mind your gaddem business"and then i recognised him.He was sitting next  to me on our flight to lagos this morning
"how dare  you?"he shouted at me,as he put his hand to the spot i had hit,suddenly i turned back and i realised we were the cynosure of all eyes.i felt pity for him,afterall he wasn't Jesse but  too bad he was at the receivin end. I picked up my bag and as i made to leave he pulled me back,"you think you are going to leave like that?he said
"what im i supposed to think mr i wanna be exclusive?i  sat on my own, you came to disturb me and you expect me to kiss your arse?its not gonna work mr"i ranted and walked away
    By the time i got  back to the hotel ,it was already past midnight,maybe i shouldn't even have gone out in the first placecos i actually came back feeling worse.Miss bugs bunny had closed for the day
and a slim lady had taken over for the night,she had on a very charming smile ,her make up was very heavy and she was looking too bright for the night.she kept on smiling as i approached her.
"Goodeveining ma'am,how may i help you?"she asked
"you may not help me in any way,  actually went out to get a drink"i replied,throwing a smile at her as i walked past her and went upstairs and for the upteenth time i began to wonder about the security of their customers.Anyways ,by tomorrow i will be so out of the place . I opened the door and went inside
.i had taken the key to the room with me because i felt in Jesse's state of oblivion he wouldn't wake up till the next morning and truly there he was snoring his youth away.
I still couldn't sleep,i sat down and watch my offender  sleeping without any care in the world .i put on the telly and began to watch movies.
   I didn't know when i dozed and when i checked the time it was already 7.45a.m.i went into the bathroom and had a hot bath, i got dressed and woke Jesse up.
"you are dressed up Trish,why are you in a hurry?"he asked
"i have clearance tomorrow morning and i wouldn't want to miss it"i replied
"ok",he said "so how are you going back?"he asked
Stupid  question,i thought."i came by air and i am going back by air and please you are refunding the fare i came with "i said
"no problem,but Trish are you going to leave just like that he asked ,winking at me
I looked at him smiled sheepishly "sweetheart,maybe you didn't know,coming to lagos  to see you was all shortage and no gain and here you are winking at me,my thighs you will never see again.now give me my money and let me   go"i shouted at him
Just then his phone rang ,he talked for a while and when he was done he told me he needed to get to gbagada ugently to see his brother ,he asked me to wait for him that we needed to  sort out our grieviances once and for all before travelling .i obliged ,while he dashed out without having his bath.I waited patiently for an hour before i decided to strike.I had seen some wadds of naira  notes and dollars the previous day when i was searching for a t-shirt,i opened the bag counted the dollars,it was six hundred in all,i removed four hundred dollars and kept two hundred for him,then i took sixty thousand from the hundred thousand naira bundle.I zipped the bag,picked up my bag and left the room.I left the key with key with bugs bunny at  the reception and walked out to board a cab to the air port..................................................................................

I was lucky to get a flight at dana air which will be boarding in forty five minutes time to enugu.I quickly paid for my ticket and checked in.We eventually boarded the flight and i chose a seat on the aisle,there was a guy seating by the window,i didnt even bother to look at him cos i was getting ready to put myself into sleep mode.
"hmmmmmmm,we meet again,my name is Abiye Georgewill"i saw his hand stretched towards me for a shake,i raised up my head and looked at him and i quickly squeezed my eyes shut..................................

Diary of a babe around town-whats love got to do with it?2

       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.
