Jerk 9: Mr B

                

 Hi guys, its bin awhile I have posted on the Jerk series...so this is a reader's story about one of the jerks she has had in her life.

                                          THE BEGINNING 

I do have a Mr. A but that’s a story for another day. So I met Mr. B after Mr. A recklessly broke my heart and was begging to come back. I was in a very vulnerable position and I was having a perfect hatred for the male specie. Mr. B was older than me reasonably so I took him to be responsible.

One night in my sad moment of heart break; I put up a BBM status that got Mr. B’s attention. I was really sad and needed someone to talk to so I told him about Mr. A and ironically he made me feel better. Still I saw Mr. B as nothing other than an older friend. But then he began to chat with me every night on BBM, my single ladies please what do you expect a sister to think?

He was acting in suggestive ways. So, to save myself from hanging on a scale; and taking Pastor Bimbo Odukoya’s advice (May her blessed soul Rest in Peace). I asked him categorically “Mr. B what are we doing?” “And then he asked what do you want? Do you want more? Obviously I liked him but I refused to budge. After a while I said yes that I liked him. All this while, it was still BBM parole oo.

He said he liked me too and he wanted us. And he said and I quote ‘we are friends but we can be more” That was obviously raising my hopes. We began to talk a lot, We even ended our discussions with ‘I love you’ and how we would kiss when we finally met. I was in heaven my lady. I felt good that he was an adult and would be better than Mr. A. We even had fights like we were a couple.

He told me about his past relationship and the babe left him. He also told me that all his friends who are females, he usually had a fight with them because they always wanted more but I was different. I should have taken a cue I know, but he told me I was different. Finally we met and talked and still continued our BBM relationship, till I traveled out of the country.

Then again to make sure I wasn’t dulling myself I asked once again ‘what are we doing?’ He said we are friends but we can be more. He said he wanted to be sure I was over my ex so he didn’t bear the troubles of another man. After about 7 months of this roller coaster, I asked this dude that I am tired of all these rubbish and we should categorize what we were doing.

Then he began to say rubbish that we were only friends and we couldn’t date. That’s how my head scattered. I asked him, why were you leading me on all the while? Why would you tell a girl you could be more and so many things when u were never going to move on with her. I was really angry and once again disappointed. I trusted a man again.

Then this wonderful man told me to be glad that what we are fighting about is why he was leading me on. He told me that if he was like other guys, what we would be talking about now that I am out of the country is how good the sex was. He said because he would have taken advantage of me and slept with me and moved on to the next girl once I traveled.

As a result, I was supposed to thank him, really in all my life, I have never felt so insulted.... never ever. Although he apologized days later and said he didn’t mean it that way, I see no other way he would have meant it. The one thing I have inferred from it all is that he was using me for emotional fulfillment. He wasn’t going to be in a relationship but he wanted to keep acting that way. I am sure he has moved on to the next lady though (and I hope it’s not one of you readers.). 

The shocker is that I still talk to him once in a while, I still talk to Mr. A too because I am usually bored in this country. Mr. A still begs to come back but the only chance he has is the chance of snowballs in hell or if an Angel speaks to me. However ladies, I still believe in love. I know there is a man out there who has some sense; I shall just wait on God this time. 

  

I am a single lady and this is my motto now: DANCE! YES! LOVE NEXT!

                                               
                                                        THE END 

 This is just a typical case of leading on...its not just right. So what do you guys think?
