Jerk 8: From A Guy's Point of View

 Hello everyone and Happy Easter!!!

So I got this from a male reader and he said he wants to show us that girls can be jerks too....so here is his story..its pretty long so I decided to break it into two parts...Enjoy

                                                  

                                                    THE BEGINNING

It all started in University of Lagos, guest house the Department  of Architecture had their barbecue night close to the swimming pool I was reluctant to go but I was bored and my friends were persuasive, so I decided to go, this was in 300Level first semester. when I got to the place I started looking around to pass time since I didn’t drink and the chicken/suya wasn’t ready. My eyes stumbled on the most beautiful face ever I never knew that meeting was one I was going to regret later in the future. She was beautiful, had an innocent face, had a blue contact on and had my heart skip, but the sad part was she was with some other guy, now am the kind of person that doesn’t go after someone’s girl but she was different and I at least wanted to know if they were going out for real or they were just great, I was seriously hoping it was the later. So when the guy stepped aside to probably go get something I made my move, which was propelled by my friend who told me to make the move that what would I lose, the highest I would get is a NO. So with my heart skipping I approached the goal.

  

Finally I was in front of her and I said hello faintly, she sized me up, looked me up to down and said the coldest HI, I had heard in a while..lol.. so I told her I loved her contacts it rhymed with her face and to be honest with her, she had the most beautiful face I had ever seen and this was not a line I picked up just to use to get to her, she smiled and from there we started discussing on different topics from likes, to school, to hobbies and finally I asked the question on my mind all the time. ‘Is the guy with you, your boyfriend’, she laughed and answered he was only a friend that wanted something more but she cant go out with him, just passing the evening with him cause she was bored, I should have seen the signs then, but I was too blind to see. So we talked till the supposed friend came back.. seeing his angry face with chicken laps in his hand and a drink, which I obviously knew was for the girl, I told Tolu (that’s the name of the girl) I had to take my leave but she objected sighting the fact she was enjoying my company but I wasn’t ready to ruin any guys  day or night I rejected and left.

After such a night I felt so good Infact I felt great but the problem was I never got a number cause the guy didn’t allow me flow to the end..lol.. and I was too intoxicated by the tingling of my stomach, that it didn’t come to mind to ask. So my job the next day was to find her in my faculty cause she was in Zoology and I was in Genetics, but a search I thought would last highest a week, continued for a whole semester to no avail but I couldn’t get her off my mind, so the following semester I went to do my IT in General Hospital, tried going on dates with other girls but they didn’t just click for me.

Then one night at the office, I was chatting with a friend on Facebook I had not talked to for a while, she was in Babcock. we went on and on and started my flirting skills on her at least maybe something would come out of it, besides the medical students at the teaching Hospital were either not fine, not ready for a serious relationship or engaged so it was no use. As the discussion continued with the damsel, one thing led to another and we talked about my school, she now told me she has a friend there in Zoology, this statement caught my curiosity and TOLU came to mind, so I asked what is the name of this friend of yours, I was really hoping it would be the same person, and then she replied Tolu, okay I was so shocked but then it dawned on me it could be another Tolu, but my problem was I didn’t know the surname of the mysterious girl, and didn’t know if it was the same person, so my BU friend told me the surname of her Tolu friend and I told her, rather begged her to give me the number of her friend but it didn’t go down well with Sola my BU friend cause she was already liking the attention I was giving her. It took me 3days to get that number. 

After getting the number I called the next day, obviously she didn’t remember me again cause it was over a semester and few weeks since we last saw. So I narrated the story of how we met, and everything but my initial magic when we met didn’t work through the phone cause she was cold through out the conversation. After 3months of trying to be her friend cause am not a guy that gives
up easily she finally started warming up to me. So we set on a day to meet and talk. That day finally came , I went to the popular Huskis at New Hall to meet her, as usual for most ladies she came late, 15minutes I wasn’t too upset cause am sure she was thinking about loads of things and maybe she was having second thoughts. When she eventually met, we ordered for drinks which I paid for.lol. and then we started talking and in next to no time my charm got to her and she was giggling, laughing and blushing but I never made my intention known at all cause I wanted to be sure I liked her for real not just some infatuation and she felt the same way too. But in the midst of the fun and all her friend came, and told me straight to my face, her boyfriend was waiting for her, I was dumbfounded but this was another sign that I should have paid more attention to, I was so shocked, but Tolu begged me and told me her friend was just looking for a way to get her away from me, that they had both planned a rescue plot in case I wasn’t fun to be with and all. I laughed though it wasn’t funny and the friend was insisting tolu followed her, instead of dragging the case I told tolu to follow her friend that we would see another time. 

So after the episode I called some of my girlfriends in Law to help me search the background of tolu and everything I needed to know, I called them ‘THE ALL-KNOW GIRLS’ cause they could know everything about a girl in a week. After a week they told me not to go ahead cause they didn’t just like the aura she was releasing though she was not the wild kind of girl but they said her way wasn’t straight, I took this but instead of listening to my trusted friends which was my third sign, I decided to go with my heart. So I started going to school from work and after a month I asked her to date me, I wanted to go out with her, I wanted a relationship. she said she wanted to think about it, that she’s not in a rush to go into a relationship, she wants to be single for a while.. I played the song “Long distance by Brandy” It became our song…. I gave her a week to make a decision cause I knew she already knew the answer from the moment I asked. So after a week, she said yes and I was the happiest man on earth. Little did I know the story was just beginning…..
