So you know when someone wants you to lose it, making you look like a stupid piece of work while she's the asornist who has been stoking the fire, knowing exactly where to stoke and how the fire started.
The trick is to make you look like trouble, but the hell with it, she's the real trouble. Well, maybe you are trouble yourself because you are cramping on her space, but it wasn't her space in the first instance. It was your space and you had shifted a little for her to sit and she wants to unseat you. You realise you do not want to particularly share any space with her again, she's rain enough on your parade and enough is getting enough.
She's moved from the little space alloted her to making your man her man crush everyday, she's commenting on his every post and loving his every photo. That not enough, she's grown to being a bit touchy touchy around him, calling his mum "mum" and saying hello everyday. Talking about his siblings as if they've always known one another was the height of it, making you look irresponsible and nonchalant. While you were bidding your time all along and do not want to look too pushy by wanting to meet the family.
Although, you both have met and she knows exactly who you are and you are even false social media friends who would never like each other's posts or photos.Yet, she's gone bold to calling your man sweetheart and love on Instagram and Facebook. Sweet nothings that seem all innocent but actually meant something. Using kisses and heart emojis. Telling the world how wonderful he is while her friends asked if he's the one and she goes all mysterious and coy on them. Making you go crazy and become a stalker.
Your lover in support of her, said a good turn deserves another. So post a photo of them, where he was holding her so closely while she was smiling like a Cheshire Cat that got the meat, in this case, your man. He captioned it "BestFriendForever".
You've seen the look of predator all over her, so you tell "our" man that you are a little bit angry and uncomfortable with the situation of things as this was going beyond the dictates of friendship. But he smiled and said it was just her being friendly and that was her way and he has to reciprocate and who could he hurt and...your head is definitely buzzing. The use of "and" is the beginning of stammering.
But you know her every trick and wiles. Why, you've overthrown a government yourself, not just this government. You won this fair and square. You are watching your game play right in front of you. This time, you are not the striker or attacker, your position have changed, you've suddenly become the defender protecting a goal post whose goalkeeper is seemingly confused. You've foolishly left her in your place and almost conceded a penalty. Stupid! Stupid!! Busy forming alpha female that do not get jealous.
No, it is not that you are jealous, maybe you do not want to believe you are susceptible to jealousy. The emotion feels weak and doesn't portray you as the strong woman you claim you are. It is not as if you do not know you own that space, the space that has become shaky if you want to be truthful. But you know karma and how it works. You know the "one" your man call friend is being a lot more friendly and she's on a mission to overthrow your government.
