Where it all started to go wrong.
Stella has been busy with whatever hell she has being raising and even though she told me that she loved me, apart from her birthday I haven’t had any other day to bask in that knowledge so like a junkie I slid back to my addiction. Tomi.
You see, I didn’t just slid back but Tomi has being making time for me and the energy between us this time felt different, like we were dating or something, I mean she was definitely more touchy feely than she usually was but I have not let my mind dwell on it. it also didn’t help that anytime I tried to think of Tomi, Stella face flash through my head and it feels as if I was hurting her. That was not something I ever wanted to do, I mean I love the girl for Christ sake.
And what of Tomi?
My traitorous mind whispers. I still love Tomi but I haven’t made peace with the fact that Tomi can never be mine, maybe

MY PERFECT MATCH Doubts creeps in
I had thought that the worse part of my day was getting to know that Princess doesn’t believe Kola is faithful to me at all but the attitude of those old shareholders who rather stand by Tony even though he was dragging the company down rather than agree with a ‘little girl’ was even worst. I never thought I could be as angry as I was, when they told me to get a husband and think about birthing male children and leave the money matters to the men. And I could see why Feminists were on a steady increase all over the world, I could do what uncle Tony was doing with my eyes closed and my attention busy in school, I don’t need a man to take care of my father’s legacy for me. I had majority of the percentage in A.I. but those men were thorns which I couldn’t remove without hurting myself. If I decide to booth them out of the company, people will lose good will in the company since those men have always been constant and they will back out of investing in
MY PERFECT MATCH Only legends Understand.
“My God, are my eyes deceiving me or is Kola a mortal like the rest of us.” Ezekiel voice jugged me out of my thought, I jumped a little before I looked at his direction and a smile grew on my face.“Eze, my man.” I greeted but he frowned at me. He always hated it when we turned his name into an Igbo name, things guys did to have fun, I guess we never outgrow them.“I knew that you didn’t see me, I was thinking if you have started to let Tomi to influence you after all these years.” He said as he leaned against my car door.“Why?” I asked.“She has been pretending like I don’t exist when I run into her and when we are in public, she acts like it is the first time we are meeting. Which is annoying since our mothers spend time together occasionally.”“You don’t even know what you did, do you?” I shook my head at him, Tomi might be a lot of things but she isn’t a snob t
MY PERFECT MATCH When love hurts.
It has been a couple of days since I suspected Kola and Tomi… I wish I could say that it ended there but it didn’t, every new thing I discovered from there hence forth hurts. Kola might not be aware of it but he was cheating on me with Tomi. The sneaking around, the private conversations and I couldn’t even confront him because I was not supposed to know and technically they didn’t do anything wrong, technically they were just best friend but technicality didn’t fit into this scenario at all.I was still sitting in my car frozen at the car lot, staring at Kola who was busy eating ice cream with Tomi, from the same place with their bodies pressed together, when Princess told me to meet her here, I never thought that this was what I was going to find and now Princess was watching me with worry in her eyes.“I am so sorry, I never wanted you to be hurt, I only wanted you to see the truth but if you haven’t seen it with
MY PERFECT MATCH I prefer Stella.
Ever since I lied to Stella on the phone, I haven’t been able to seat still, the guilt was too much for me. I didn’t even know why I did it, after all Tomi was a friend and I could spend my lunch break with Tomi…why was I hiding my location from Stella like Tomi was a dirty little secret. There was nothing wrong with me hanging out with my best friend.“Kola, are you okay?” Tomi asked me, laying her hand on top of mine as I frowned at her actions, her touchiness this period was too much.“No, I don’t feel so good about lying to Stella, I think I would go to her office in Ikeja and spend the rest of the day with her.” I said to Tomi who shook her head at me.“But Kola, the traffic, you will have to cross to the main land. Traffic will hold you back.”“I am used to the traffic, after all I am a Lagosian. I come back with Stella this evening and if I want to beat the traffic
MY PERFECT MATCH Closure
“Stella you can’t keep moping around for a guy who doesn’t deserve it.” Princess started another tirade as soon as I entered the sitting room.Sure I can and he was completely worth it. I rolled my eyes at her even through my head ache. “You won’t understand Princess.” I tell her quietly.“Then make me understand Stella, this isn’t you. This has never been you. You are not the kind of girl who mopes around and certainly not for a guy. What did he do to you to make you fall so hard for him?”“I wish I knew babe, I wish I did but all I know was that one second, I was smiling at him and the next, I realized a had fallen in love with him… it took me a long time before I could tell him and when I finally did, I thought that he was crazy about me. I thought that here was a guy who loves me and was amazing, that here was a guy who will never hurt me.” I said with a shrug as I struggled not to cry.
MY PERFECT MATCH Heartbroken
I don’t know where I was driving to. All I knew was that I had to get away from Kola before I would run him down and I needed to get as far away from him as possible. A police checkpoint was ahead of me and when I stopped in front of them, I tried to clean my tears.“Ma’am are you Okay?” he asked as I smiled through my eyes that were watery again.“Sure officer.” I lied as I collected the driving license from my car and passed it to him.“The particulars of the car.” He added and I passed it to him too, when he saw it he nodded. “Can you park the car to the side ma’am?”“Okay.” I said confused but I parked the car any way and he took his sweet time in joining me where he told me to park the car.“I need you to call someone, every of your documents is in a good shape but you are not.”“You cannot make that assumption, I am perfectly fine.”&
MY PERFECT MATCH Confrontation
“Are you sure that, that is what happened?’ Ivy asked gently but still annoying. This is the sixth time she was asking that question within the hour that I have gotten home, Bode is still in the sitting room while I was changing, and he wanted to see me calm first before he leaves.“Yes Ivy, how many times do you want me to say it. Kola was in a lip lock with Tomi when I entered his office. And no I didn’t imagine it and neither was my mind playing tricks on me.”“Brother Kola is not the type of person to do this.”“He lied before… I am not surprised, I would have never trusted him.” I brushed my face angrily, I hated the tears that kept falling. They needed to stop. Princess was right, Kola was not worth my time or tears if he is the half decent human that he tried to convince me that he was.“Okay oh. Let me leave you to pull yourself together while I keep Bode company.” Ivy paused
MY PERFECT MATCH Moving on
Days turned into weeks and still I remembered Kola as if he was right beside me, it didn’t get easier, I just got used to the absence. A very good way which I used to keep myself busy and away from thinking about him was A.I. the company had years of rot on it and I was taking care of it one at a time but this time… I was going after the big one.“You are fired and the police downstairs will like to see you.” I said as I dropped the sack letter I had drafted on Uncle Tony table.“What do you think you are doing little girl?” he asked, removing his glasses and dropping the newspaper he was reading on supposed office hours.“Removing the person who tried to ruin my cooperation from the inside out.” I returned with a glare, I was a little bit scared but I won’t let it get to me, I needed to see his face as I checkmated him.“You can’t do anything Stella, go do a beauty
