so we became like sisters. At that time too, she needed a flat mate to pay the other half of the two bedroom she rented in Palmgrove, her former flat mate had got married and moved out. So who better to share the flat with? Thatโs how I moved in, although, at the beginning because I hadnโt got a good paying job I couldnโt pay my full half; it meant, I wasnโt able to pay for light, water and Lawmaโฆthat is my half of the bills but she was good to me, she paid all and told me I would repay her when I got a better job. You know in Lagos, everything is money.
There were many thing she helped me with at that time and to these, I would forever be grateful. Like for instance, she would be the one to buy food, cook and give me from her potโฆuntil I landed a job that paid me well enough to make my own contributions.
I couldnโt pay the backlog of bills I owed her immediately and she didnโt pressure me. She shared many things with me; including the fact that she was still a virgin at 25โฆI wasnโt and because I was wary of Lagos boys, I used a vibratorโฆI had this thing since my uni days. It was given to me my then boyfriendโฆhe bought it for me, we used it together back then but he left me and went abroadโฆanyway.
Being girls from the same place, where our mothers warned us to be careful of Lagos boys, especially these Yoruba demons, we shared a lot of things, the only thing I didnโt do with Lucia was go with her to her church, you see, she was one of these church, church people. Thatโs why she is so nice, anyway.
I told Lucia about my vibrator and told her that at her age, she may not find a good guy to help her present status. You see, Lucia was desperate to lose her virginity but she didnโt want just guyโฆwhich is smart, right? and with church drumming all sorts of doctrines in her ears, she was looking for a husband in church…all the guys that came wanted one thing and she said she wouldn’t give it! Nice girl, in this day and age!

I had no such inhibitions so, after about a year or so, I began to date…you know, I landed a bank job, so…I willingly parted with my vibratorโฆ I taught her how to use it. I had no use of it because I had a boyfriend, a customer, I dated him for just 8 months…he was too stingy.
What do you mean by ‘how can you give her your vibrator?’
Why not? I have no disease!
What’s in a vibrator? You wash with soapy towel, dry itโฆ and gbrrrrri, it is working for you. So it doesnโt matter that another person had used it before, it’s synthetic rubber isnโt it? What do you mean by ‘two people using the same thing?’ In real life, donโt two or more women bounce on the same dxxxk?
Please let me finish my story.
I had a another boyfriend, โฆhe was not a serious guy, Boye, I told you, now?
I only kept him because I was on the lookout for someone better than him; Boye would borrow money from me and be telling stories, he wonโt pay back. He was also a shameless liar; in my presence, he would be lying so brazenly to his mum!
Ok, now, I didnโt know this idiot guy was toasting my friend, Lucia. You see how these Yoruba demons operate?
He was coming to me and still toasting my friend under the same roof!
Lucia asked me one time if I was serious about him, I said no because I thought I was confiding in a friend. I told her that if I got a better man, I would dump him like hot akara.
I didnโt know Lucia had agreed to be seeing him behind my back!
What vexed me the most is, this Lucia is very naรฏve about men. Even if she was going to start dating Boye, shouldnโt she haveโฆI mean, she shouldnโt have, knowing we were together, at least I hadnโt dumped him at that time!
I donโt know how he did it or how she did it. Boye travelled one period and when he came back, he told me, I should behaved maturely, that he knew I was seeing other guys and that he had made up his mind to marry Lucia!
EEEEWWWooo!
For how!
For where?
You know, after all said and done, truth is, I never truly cared about Boye but Lucia betrayed me!
If I wanted a guy for Lucia, itโs not Boye, Boye will use her and dump her, she has no stamina for men like that. But Iโm also telling myself, so this is all you church people learn, to take your flat mateโs boyfriend under her nose. I was angry but I didnโt fight with Lucia because I know she is a good person who has fallen into wrong hands!
I wish them luck. I will move out because, itโs just sickening seeing both of them together; even if I was going to shenk Boye, Lucia should have waited for me to kick him before she let him into her bed, at least for our friendship! Thatโs all Iโm saying.
