Comebacks and Curves

Continued fromĀ here.

When I finally regained composure, I had to come back real quick.

ā€œJide, please donā€™t get it twisted.ā€,Ā I said with what I hoped was a lighthearted laugh.

Me: I was telling my sister about my week and she was asking too many questions, besides I donā€™t have that much love for Yoruba boys.Ā So donā€™t flatter yourself, Jide.

Jide: Take it easy! I was really feeling myself (laughs), I guess that backfired in my face. Besides, whatā€™s your issue with Yoruba boys?

Me: I had two exes who got married while still living in their fatherā€™s BQ.Ā I know a few things that Jesus died for but leaving in my father in-laws BQ wasnā€™t one of them.

Jide: Maybe, It has to do with your choice of boys, you should consider real men.

Me: Have a good night, Jide.

Jide: Are you mad at me?

Me: No, Itā€™s a work day tomorrow and Iā€™ve got quite a lot on my desk.

I couldnā€™t get off the phoneĀ fast enough.

Monday

Monday evening after a long ass day at work, Iā€™m all snuggled on my sofa with a rare glass of Pinot settled in to catch up with Cosmopolitan and Vogue. I love moments like this. The night is so cool and clear and Iā€™m a lilā€™ tipsy from the wine what with my low tolerance for alcohol but I feel so nice and warm inside. Iā€™m breezing through the pages of the magazines, looking to find the latest trends, Iā€™m off in my own world. Nothing or no one can kill my vibe.

My phone rings.

Arghhh!

I thought I turned this thing off.

I check the caller I.D its Jide.

I quickly fix my hair, and straighten out my pajamas unconsciously. Itā€™s a phone call Ibukun, he canā€™t see you woman!

Me: Oh, hi.

Jide: Jolie, is this a bad time?

Me: err not reallyā€¦I was a little busy. I have a guest.

I have no idea why I lied, maybe ā€˜cause I didnā€™t want him to think Iā€™m one of those ladies that come home to a lonely apartment with no boo.Ā My mother told me never to make yourself available for a man 24/7 during courtship.
