The Secret Diaries: Kendra

I had to look out for my friend.
She'd gone and fallen in love with some rich, arrogant dude.
The type who had women falling all over him and so took advantage.
Bibi found out the hard way...
And that was after she'd lost her v... to him.
It made me mad to know that Bibi still had feelings for the guy...
She froze every time she saw him.
I wanted to slap her all those times but couldn't...
Couldn't blame her either, I know she tried her best to forget him but it was hard.
I did my best too...
I hooked her up some other guys...rich guys but it never went beyond the first date. She was never interested.

I gave up then.
Let Bibi do whatever she wants, I told myself. I needed to respect her feelings even though it mad me mad.
I cared about her alot.
That was why when after an hour she'd told she needed to pee she wasn't back,  I got worried and started looking for her...
She was missing the party...
Hell,  I was missing the party by looking for her.

She wasn't in the ladies...
Or around it.
I asked a few people if they had seen her and said no. I was going to get frantic but Toye asked me to calm down.
Me being like that is never good for anyone who had the bad grace to be close at that point.
He said she was grown and so could take care of herself.
True...
But not enough to calm me down...
I know my friend and she never goes anywhere without telling me.

I finally felt relief when I saw her coming in through the kitchen door.
"Where have you been? Jeez I've been worried looking all over for you. " I practically yelled at her.
She smiled...
She smiled?
I tried not to get upset.
"I just needed a bit of fresh air. "
"Yes..." I said dryly. "You always want fresh air...but you never go out to get it alone. "
"Well maybe today's different "
"Maybe? " I stared at her suspiciously. "how come there's a maybe? "
Then It came to me and my eyes widened. Bibi saw that and decided it was time to move away from me but I cornered her.
"You did it, didn't you ? "
"Do what? " she asked innocently
I leaned in close to her ear to whisper the S word.

"How do you even know?" she asked,  a little loud.
"It's written all over you. "
I pushed away a strand of hair that had the guts to try to blind me.
"I'm a woman Bibi... One who's been down there over and over. Pinch me if I can't spot a girl who's just gotten some."
"What? " She had the guts to pretend to be stunned. 
Then,
"Kendra... Let's just forget it. I'm here now."
She moved away from me to get a seat but I couldn't forget it...
I just couldn't...
I went after her.

"I'm your friend Bibi, why would you hide anything from me? "
"Because..." she blushed. "If I tell you, you're going to start with the lectures and I don't want any of your lectures right now...especially over a dude."
I softened at that and sat down beside her.  After all,  I'm not a saint when it comes to these things.

"Fine... No Lectures. No more lectures." I said.
Then,
"I can't believe it, you love him still...you just did it with him again!"
She turned away from me and gestured to a waiter, pretending not to hear me.
"You were angry about what happened the first time and yet you did it again."
As if that wasn't enough, I moved my seat closer...
"Bibi,  I thought you learnt your lesson. "
Seriously, I couldn't help myself...

"See what I meant, you said no more lectures. " she started, waving her hand vaguely at me.
"Moreover,  I never told you I regretted it."
"But you were hurt. "
"I was...but I got over it. Kendra, give me a break! If I want to get with him again, I will. Matter of fact,  I've decided to start talking to him again."
"Why?"

She decided then, to tell me about what happened... How he had found her in the kitchen and taken her out...
And how they had somehow made love and all that.
And then she pulled out the note and showed me.
I grabbed it from her and read.
It was a simple note that went like this :

    Hey,
     Is there any chance of starting all this  again?

            I mean, us. The right way?
                                                   

                                                                  Daniel

       Ps=>  can we meet outside please?

"You think he's serious about this? " I asked, looking up from the note.
"Maybe, maybe not but I'm not taking any chances with him... Not yet. "
"Why? " I asked, suddenly wanting to become the guy's advocate.
I tried to catch her eyes but she looked everywhere else but at me.
"Kendra,  he didn't even bother to apologize or atleast say he has feelings for me which means he doesn't. I wonder if he's playing me." she said.
I thought about it for a bit and said,
"But really, arrogant guys like Daniel find it hard to love...and when somehow they do, they find it hard to admit."
"If he has any feelings for you,  we'll know soon. "
"Maybe. Kendra, I'm tired. Can we leave? "
"Why? There's a lot of fun going on here."
"Well there isn't any more, for me." She stood up. "Plus I need to think about what just happened. I'll see you at home."

She took two steps away and it was enough to make me feel guilty.
"Wait."
She turned around like she was expecting it.
"We'll go home okay, let's just say goodbye to Toye"

I grabbed her hand and half dragged her towards Toye before she could refuse.
I once thought about matching her with my cousin but it would have been a disaster. Toye was a womanizer...
And Bibi...
Well Bibi was crazy for someone else.

Bibi endured...
One thing I liked about her.
Cos I get into the moment alot...
And I always get lost.
We ended up spending almost an hour saying our goodbyes.
My fault...
I knew almost everyone in that hall...
Bibi was annoyed...
But she endured.
