Must Read: Home Advantage (18+)

It was 7:30pm that evening, I was chatting with one of the neighbourhood dude, Ikenna, when Udenme came from behind and kissed me. I stepped back with my eyes revealing how shocked I was at her move.

Me: what was that for? I asked with a straight face.

Udenme: I want to show them i’m already taken. She gazed at the right direction. I look at the same direction and there they were, Tunde and two other familiar guys.

Ikenna excused us.

Staring back at her I questioned, ‘’I’m yours? I don’t understand?’’

‘’You don’t understand?’’ she echoed like she was using Beats By Dre headphone.

‘’What am I to you?’’ she asked without answering my last question. ‘’A friend,’’ I replied. A friend?’’ she echoed again like there was a Grammy award for echoing.

I knew just what I was doing. I have been waiting for that moment to end things with her. I didn’t want anything or anyone jeopardizing my relationship with my Princess.

There was a brief silence before she questioned me again in a curious tone with her eyes flashing. ‘’Do you make love to your friends?’’ I did not hesitate to answer with and harsh voice, ‘’If I’m not in a relationship and they’re females, YES’’.

She stood completely still with a devastated look on her face. I didn’t feel the slightest bit of remorse. Suddenly her eyes flashed in anger and she made motion to slap my face, but as if I could read her mind, I caught her hand before she could strike me. Deliberately, I lowered it to her side. We stared at each other in heated silence for a while before she left my presence.

I knew how my words would have hurt her, but I had to do it anyway to avoid any complications with Princess. I needed to protect my relationship with her.
