First let me say this, not every love story started with love in the heart at least for one of the party involved. Let me tell you why I say this.
So here I was fresh out of secondary school, and I had nothing doing at home, like every other fresh high school graduate , I set out to find a job, so I wouldn't have to sit at home and become the devil's candidate _ wait .... Don't jump to conclusion, that's how these parents said it then, they believed that anything that makes you stay at home after your secondary school means that you were up to no good.
Okay that's story for another, lol, so in my search for a job, I started hanging out at my previous school, I just always found myself going back there, I wasn't offered employment or anything like that, I just used to find myself there whenever my search became too tiring.
And that's how my previous teachers started giving me their job, some I would help go to their class, write on the board for their student, some I had to help them mark piles of homework and classwork on the table.
It continued like this for a while, until my small heart started falling for a particular new teacher, he was a tall, dark handsome man, typical Yoruba demon , if I may add. We started talking, I found myself still going back to the school, my search for my own job stopped , and there I was falling for olamilekan.
One day, he called over to where he was sitting at the teachers room, we were the only ones there, the way my heart started singing and dancing, if that was a physical thing then you would have laughed about this experience. So olamilekan talked and talked, days passed, weeks passed.
Finally he dropped the question, "will you be my girlfriend?" Seriously I was all over the moon, of course I said yes. Foolish me said yes.
And that was the beginning not what I called a one sided love story, I didn't notice his intention at first, all because I was blinded by love. At every given time we got alone , he was leaning in for a kiss, he was always wanting to touch, I sometimes felt embarrassed just incase someone barge in on us.
I had told my friend about olamilekan, and she told me he was just playing me, that he wasnt serious with me, I didn't want to believe her, I told her things he did for me, and how he always said he loved me, she laughed and said that's enough reason for me to know he was playing me, that if he loved me he wouldn't put me a suitation where I felt embarrassed.
So I started paying attention to his movements, and I still didn't see or notice anything wrong.
Then something happened one day, I was heading to the teacher's room when I overheard my so called boyfriend and another teacher talking. "Lekan, leave this girl, she took small, she no deserve wetin you wan do her so o" this was the other teacher talking. "She na fine girl na, he no bad if I wan chop her, fine girl for fine man" Olamilekan replied him.
I just stood there at the door, I couldn't move, I was just there, I felt my chest tighten and that's was when my friend's words replayed in my head again and again.
I didn't even stay still closing time, I took my bag from the class I was teaching in before, and I took my leave. I never called olamilekan or picked his call since then, and that was how it ended.
And I was glad it did, I would have fallen prey to a so called love, to a predator, but thankfully God helped me and saved my fragile heart.lol.
