‘’ Scuse me miss’’,
‘’ Hi Beautiful’’.
I heard a deep but startling voice behind me. I turned back, a very tall about 6ft 5’’ frame was standing and beaming smiles at me. His white teeth shone underneath his beautiful dark skin; I noticed he had a ’baby face’, I admired him. ‘’Oh my dayz, he’s soo good-looking’’, I thought to myself but i quickly composed myself before he could read the expression on my face. ‘’May i help you?’’ I asked quickly. He smiled, revealing his beautiful dimples. ‘’ He has dimples!’’ I shrieked in my head.
‘’I am sorry to bother you, I noticed you from a distance and I would love us to be friends’’.
‘’What kind of friend could that be if i may ask?’’, I answered scowling my face, not wanting to look or sound desperate, but in my mind “Yes please!” was my response.
“Actually I would love to know you better, may i have your number?’’ 07568389503, he immediately typed the digits on his blackberry. ‘’I will ring you tonight’’.
“Ok no problem”.
“I am Dolapo Martins by the way’’.
“Moroti Adetayo’’, I replied, “nice meeting you”.
After saying our goodbyes, I rushed down to McDonalds to give my friend, Sarah the latest ‘gist’.
I couldn’t wait for Dolapo to call me. From time to time, I kept glancing at my phone to check for any mystery number. His tall and slim physique wouldn’t leave my mind, he was all i was thinking about.
‘’This is ridiculous. Moroti get over yourself, he’s probably one of those guys’’, I kept tryin to dissuade myself.
At exactly 7:28pm, I had settled on my favourite chair getting ready to watch Eastenders on BBC. Heaven knows i wouldn’t miss it for a thing. The sudden buzz of my phone distracted me. A strange caller I.D appeared on the screen of my iphone. I immediately knew it was Dolapo; I picked it up and answered with my sweetest voice ‘’Hello good evening may I know who is speaking?’’, not that I didn’t know it was him, I just didn’t want him to know I had been waiting for his call.
“This is Dolapo. We met this evening on Oxford Street”.
We talked for about 20 minutes and he promised to call the next day.
Dolapo was all I could think and talk about. He called me everyday. He took me to different restaurants and cinemas. He made me feel very special and when he finally asked me to be his girlfriend, I didn’t even play my usual ‘hard to get’. I immediately said “yes” and after a year of our relationship, he asked me to get serious with him and that he had fallen ‘head over heels’ with me. He even asked me to forgo all my male friends because he was the jealous type. I was very happy to hear him say this. I told all my male friends to stay away and didn’t give an attention to the ones that were interested. I was in a serious relationship anyways…..
To be continued…
Am loving this story so far. What I like about it is that it shows dating from the perspective of a woman (as this helps us men.) It made me laugh to read that even though she was scowling when the guy was asking to be friends, she was like ”yes please” in her mind. Can’t wait to read the rest.
Yes, in that first instance we analyze every word in each statement and how the statement was delivered. Then we go over it play by play again later on. then we guard the phone like watchdogs later. Watch (or read ) he’s just not that into you, then you’ll know how we stress ourselves and maybe understand.
What i meant was that the playing-hard-to-get-debate is just a tip of the ice-berg of actual first meetings with a guy. The whole female wahala is played out in the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” and the book (which i prefer) by Greg Behrendt
forgo all your male friends ke? spooky. very spooky.
Thanks Yinka,will upload the rest soon.
I wonder what will happen next
I like this already. And yes, we women can so be like that. Lol.
Thanks Lade.
Women do not pretend; they are pretense made flesh. He he he… But seriously dear, u need to learn how to apply suspense in ur works. Cos this part1 doesn’t really inspire me to read the sequel. (I dey wait for am shaa. Hope it wont disappoint o!) *winks* http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/koboko
I suspect trouble brewing here, leave all your male friends ke?
waiting earnestly for the next part.
Well done!!!
Thanks Lawal.
The title, the description of the guy and the story so far can only go one way. Enjoyed it though. Don’t think there’s enough depth in the story shah. But you could still surprise me. So I beg of you to surprise me. And you forgot to mention if they were shagging. Waiting for more. Capital ‘i’, watch out for that too.
Thanks Jaywritter,am glad u enjoyed it. I will upload the rest of the story as soon as possible, and i will put in mind, those things u mentioned,thanks for reading.
i think d story is a give-away…..and the attitude of your female xter is a bigger give-away when compared to the reality on ground with regards to gurls and masculine attention. she doesnt necessarily need to be d hard-to-get type, but givin a stranger your number before you even knew his name? The rapport between them built up tooooo easily as well. Hi, hi….i saw u from a distance….i think dis line is also ….old-fashioned. it just doesnt work again. Any REAL brothers in the house?…….But all d same, nice effort.
@bond, james bond, you gotta know a lot from all those girls nah. In Nigeria, it can be as easy as that. No real guy will go that way. No true player will. No real gentleman will too. But it’s so possible. No real lady will fall for that as well. Something has to bring about the attraction. Was too mused up one day and collected a lady’s number without knowing her name or she knowing mine. Have never done it again cuz it’s crap. So it works, oh james.
And by the way, don’t try this at NS. It so doesn’t work.
it is possible o! When the brother is fine its numbers first, names later.
I don’t think the attitude of the character is a give-away because ladies can be like that,when we see someone we admire and i don’t think the line is old fashion as you guys still use these words, anyways thanks for reading.
Yes some very uncreative guys still use those lines…
Wealth, the wealth of this story is understandably easy to understand. I already sense something surprising would crop up in the sequel. I am waiting. And I hope I am correct. Keep it up!
lol… I’m sure some brothers will take notes from this one.
very nice story.hope the next part will surprise us.
but i think am still having this issue with giving out numbers before knowing the name,never heard of that and she was so easy to get,didnt even hesitate before giving out the nos,even if u like the guy,you’ll still play difficult a little,its like she’s been waiting for him
to ask her…
and you didnt tell us if she was in a relationship before..
@007,think i agreed with you,the line is out of fashion,if a guy come around and tells me that,unless he has some better things to back it up,dont think i’ll give him d attention
@jaywriter..lol whats with you and “shagging”,do they have to?
@posh – Just wanted to know the extent of their relationship oh. When a she places lotta expectations on shagging then you got a different ending surely. Just wanted to know what to expect. I don’t really like shagging oh. Back to been too easy, don’t really think so. People don’t approach relationships same way. And all those playing hard thing, I think it’s old school. “Who they don love, they don love am.” My opinions though.
LWKMD@shagging
@ Posh: Ladies can be like that wen we someone we fancy.
The story has a good premise, but it is rushed. In less than a page, I’ve read what amounts to a year-plus, of a relationship, with no apparent drama or big decisions, besides d getting serious n ditching male friends stuff, which is quite spooky. U just have to pace this story, and U’ll have something which will soak us n draw us in, just like fine wine…
There’s room for improvement. Keep churning out the words…
@jay..oops..i didnt say she needs to play hard to get but she was just too easy…like a guy meets a girl on d road..”hello,can i ve your nos and she started calling it….never heard of that..my opinion though..lol
@wealth..well,may be its possible,waiting for the next part though,yeah why would he ask her to leave her male friends..?
something’s fishy!
‘I don’t think the attitude of the character is a give-away because ladies can be like that,when we see someone we admire and i don’t think the line is old fashion as you guys still use these words, anyways thanks for reading.’
We ladies are like that, no lies. The line may be old fashioned but it is still widely used by the guys! Nice story and so far, I’m loving it. Good job @Wealth.
@Love: God bless you and thanks for reading.
@Raymond: I don’t think it is rushed as we ladies can be like that, especially wen the guy is fine. Thanks for reading.
want to see the end of the story, fact is all girls pretend, they do so to give the impression of confidence!
I disagree.
really, so why do u gals pretend?
We do not pretend…. Well i don’t.
Very captivating with only a few paragraphs. You’re feeling cheeky with urself keeping us waiting for part. 2 abi? lol. Oh by the way i hate eastenders jare. lol
Thanks Jimi, the part two of the story is out,thanks for reading.
How can you hate eastenders????
Oh ok. Didnt notice pt 2 was out. will check it out. I hate eastenders eeeeeee. Coronation street too. all of them. lol
Ok cool. Again how can u hate eastenders???? its da bomb!! I hate coronation street with passion.
i’ll give u the benefit of doubt , wealth but the truth is that girls are 20% reality and 80% pretext.!
