Perhaps I made the wrong impression about who to love and who not to. Let me walk you through a story about how a player got played.
I’ve always been the guy every girl seem to want. I make quite the impression. Can always get any girl I want. until she pops into my life again after years apart since 5th grade.
We were friends at 5th grade but lost contact till we somehow ran into each other in college. It was fate #see me grin
Even the most stupidest things she says sounds like music to me. Well I was in love. Who would’ve thought? I seem to just want to run into her even in the slightest chance or excuse I can make. It was quite obvious… yet I couldn’t bring myself to say it… yes the 3 magic words. #haha
It was funny to a point we gave each other Lilly names… She’s my woman of steel while I’m her man of steel. She’s my female version whereas I’m her male version. The thing Dey sweet me no lie… I was a fool in love.
We got off college and ran to different distant locations, but we kept in touch with none stop chats. Year past till the 2021 when we ran into each other again. When I ordered a birthday package for her and she loved it. Told me she never had anyone gave her gift… oh she’s definitely the one I tell myself.
I visited her at home one day and saw her washing the dishes, we started talking about movies which was what connected us the most and didn’t even realize I was helping her wash the dishes #chuckle until we realized that everyone else had frozen to the awe sight of us doing dishes together. Lol
Her cousin who turns out to be my friend encouraged that I make it official with her. Yes all this years it wasn’t official…like I said, I was a fool in love lol
Ideas were suggested that we go on a movie date, mainly supposed to be the time I get to propose to her. I was excited yet discreetly scared. Me scared of conveying my feelings to a lady? It shocked me too… lol
It’s Date day. I made sure I was looking super good and by 4pm that day I was already waiting for her at the venue for she declined that I picked her up at home as she had some errands to run. Well yeah.. she finally showed up after the long wait…
I made sure that way I had enough cash. Because guess what… I was imagining the date Sharuh khan had with kajol in the movie ‘Dilwale’ in my fantasy world. We got tickets for Kong Vs Godzilla. Some few minutes It felt so peaceful. I kept thinking about holding hands with her but it’s as if the more my head approves it, the more my body disapproves it… in my head I was already imagining the ‘Titanic’ scenario…
I’ve never seen a movie that finish so fast… we got out, still couldn’t do anything, then she asked if I have more things to do with as she needs to get back home asap… I said I would drop her off… thinking this is it.. I’d definitely tell her on the way and that’s how I found myself hitting myself for not telling her… of course I am a fool in love.
I called her cousin and he scolded me and my ego and told me if can’t tell her that night then I shouldn’t call myself a man again… then I decided to send through a call to her.
Beep beep… she picks, Me “hey women of steel,”
She “Hey man of steel”
Me “I’ve got something to tell you which I have kept away from you for ages even though I know I’m the one for you I just think we should make it official… what I’m trying to ask of you is that I’d love for you to marry me… for I can’t see myself spend the rest of my life with anyone else…”
Her “how.. but we are just friends”
2weeks later her love life came public.. she’s engaged to someone else whom I never even know existed, I guess I was never even as important as i thought I was… and I made a fool of myself by thinking she was in love with me just because she calls me sweet Lilly names… haha
At last I lost a bet with my friends for saying she’d never break my heart… and got the hardest mockery laugh than I gave them during their own breakfast… yes that’s how I got my own breakfast served…
I am still foolishly pained…
