Sides to choose.
I don’t want to be here at this mixer but I didn’t have a choice. If I had chosen not to go, I would have given Tomi the chance to talk more trash than what she was already spewing out. And that is the last thing I wanted to do. That girl was dangerous and I needed to keep my eyes on her, she warned me that she will change Kola’s mind about me, I thought she was joking but apparently not, I thought that I didn’t have any reason to be bothered by her but less than a month after she told me to enjoy Kola while he was mine, she was back in his life like she never left. They reconciled on Wednesday, Saturday they were already as thick as thieves together.
I stood beside Femi as I watched his girlfriend drag Kola around in the guise of introducing him around and filling him in on things he had missed during his stint at staying clear from everybody. “I am sorry for the way Tomi acted

MY PERFECT MATCH Three is a crowd.
This wasn’t fair, I knew this wasn’t fair but it seems like Kola didn’t know, whatever he thought he was just doing with Tomi as ‘friends’ was hurting me. Still I didn’t utter a single word. Why will I? After all he told me they were just friends nothing else, I couldn’t show my hand more by acting jealous especially after I had asked him those questions. That would just show him that he has complete control over me, that I was in love with him and that is something which I would never show him.“Hey best friend?” Tomi sang as she quickly sat down on I and Kola table in her restaurant, this time she came with a friend. “Hello Stella.” She greeted with her jovial expression still on her face and why wouldn’t she be jovial, after all she had just succeeded in ruining another me and Kola alone time, something that was already hard enough for a CEO and an Intern. Th
MY PERFECT MATCH Threats
I was in Kola kitchen cooking when I received the first call. The gas was on, soft music was playing on the stereo which was connected to my phone Bluetooth, I was in comfy clothes which usually means one of Kola oversized t-shirts that look big on him and practically drowns me, I was dancing along to the song in a beat that made no sense, something I wouldn’t have done if Kola was present, as far as he is concerned, me and the music is one so I never go off beat… well, a girl has to keep some secrets.The music was suddenly cut off, then the automated female voice called out a number slowly, I quickly cleaned my hands as I went to pick my call.“Hello”“Good eve
MY PERFECT MATCH Scared
I was still upset at Stella, I mean why would she just snap at Tomi that way, I get that I might be spending a lot of time around Tomi and her friends these days but it was what I did then and I told her she could trust me, it’s not like I am going to cheat on her with any of Tomi’s friends. I would never to that to her.Liar, you would totally cheat on her, not with Tomi friends but Tomi herself, in fact if you are honest with yourself, you are already cheating on Stella. My mind whispered to me but I shoved the words out of my head, the thoughts were wrong, I was not cheating on Stella, I am just spending time with my best friend. I rubbed my hands across my face in frustration as I battle with myself, should I call her or not. If I call her, I will give her the impression that I am apologizing for a wrong I didn’t commit and that she has the upper hand, if I don’t call and she does, it is basically Stella apology on a golden platter.
MY PERFECT MATCH Ironing things out.
Of course Kola would bounce back from my words swinging, ready to fight. While I was telling Ivy that we would have to stay in a hotel, he just entered the car after locking the door of my apartment and told me that if I insist on the hotel that I am insisting on us being over. And so he guarantee me keeping quiet and not protesting at his words, as soon as we got to his house, he showed Ivy where she would sleep and went to his room, I wanted to share a bed with Ivy but when he called my name from his room I decided not to risk increasing his ire. We didn’t cuddle that night and I didn’t sleep well, the next morning, I woke up early to see his part of the bed empty and when I moved to the sitting room, I saw him lying on the couch with his eyes closed.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to drive you from your room.” I snapped at him, angry with myself for allowing tears to fill my eyes because I was hurt by his action.“I couldn’t slee
MY PERFECT MATCH Guilt
I was feeling like the biggest liar on earth, I turned my conversation with Stella to her fault mean while it was clear that the fault is completely mine, I didn’t want to hurt Stella, not like this. I’d correct my steps and give Stella the respect she deserves. I leaned back in my chair as I thought about a way to spend time with Stella in a good restaurant or doing something which she would really like even if I was not comfortable with it, I would be apologizing to her with my actions because I knew without being told that if I mistakenly let her know of my feelings for Tomi even if they no longer exists, she is going to feel betrayed and wouldn’t want anything to do with me.That was when I felt fear. If I had to choose between Tomi and Stella, I wouldn’t be able to because Stella means just as much as Tomi does to me and it wasn’t as if the intensity of my feelings for Tomi has reduced, it just mean that Stella own ha
MY PERFECT MATCH Yes
Me and Kola got to the party by 9 and I won’t say it was my fault at all. It was both of us fault. Kola was dragging his feet and I was busy making sure my makeup was on point, Tomi friends will certainly be there, I know that I won’t outshine that girl, she must have employed the services of a face beater(make up artist) so she would look extra stunning, that girl does not do anything half way but still I wanted to try and made sure that the people would see Kola is not lacking, at the partner aspect. Kola didn’t need to mention it for me to know that maybe tongues would have wagged that he was the one still holding on to his brother girlfriend, acting like a love sick guy over a girl who was not his. My presence will put those rumors to rest and God help them if they tried to talk trash about Kola, they would not know what hit them.“Why is it that anytime, we go out, you always want to give me a heart attack eh.”
MY PERFECT MATCH Raped
Since Tomi’s engagement, 13 days to Stella birthday, I have been acting weird to Stella and she was certainly giving me space although it happened just two days ago, I needed to get myself together because if Stella put two and two together and recognized why I am feeling this way, she will certainly leave me but she didn’t have the strength to figure out what has been up with me, she has been trying to help Ivy anyway she could, the night that Tomi got engaged was also the night Ivy got raped, it wasn’t even up to an hour after we left that Stella got the teary call from Ivy. That night, Stella and I didn’t sleep and we spent most of it in the hospital, the next day for Stella was spent in a police station so she could try to follow up their investigation. I was busy hiding and if I am being honest with myself, Tomi’s engagement isn’t the only reason why I was hiding, I am not that much of a bastard. When Stella was with Ivy, following Iv
MY PERFECT MATCH Sad history
I got to the hospital about an hour after my discussion with Tomi, even though it was rush hour, Stella moved Ivy to a hospital that was on the island instead of mainland so she could easily access Ivy. The traffic on the island is better that the one on the mainland, the one of third mainland bridge was the worst.“Thank God you are here.” Ivy cried out when she saw me. “Can you please take Stella away from me before I press my call button to tell the nurses that Stella is disturbing me? She is practically dead on her feet.”“I need to make sure that you are okay.” Stella voiced but Ivy shook her head.“You need to take care of yourself and stop feeling guilty. It wasn’t your fault.” Ivy said to Stella taking a hold of her hand.“Yes it is. You were raped because I left you alone, if I was around this wouldn’t have happened.” Stella protested.“And if I had done wha
