The Secret Diaries 9





“No throwing yourself at him.”
“Throwing my…”
“Just promise.”
“Fine. I promise.”
“I know it felt good…the sex…but it’s a rebound thing.” I continued. “If he’s going to want you, he should because he really does, not because you’re offering comfort.”
“Yeah.” Said Kendra, rolling her eyes. “Said the girl who’s doing Daniel”
“My thing with Daniel is totally different…think it through girl.” I rolled my eyes back at her.
And then I remembered I was supposed to tell her about the trip but after what we had just talked about, I decided to tell her later. I wasn’t sure she wouldn’t talk me out of it. I mean, She knew I was on talking terms with Daniel, but I had convinced her it was just platonic…just friends…but this trip spelled out a lot of things. I was convinced one of her lines going to be there’s no way you guys won’t do each other over there. In my mind, I felt it was true…I thought about it over and over and realised I was actually looking forward to it. Plus it was Vegas…
I really wanted to go.

   Later that evening, Kendra and I got all dressed up and went to Yemi’s. True, it was a get together…a small get together. There were three other girls and three other guys apart from Yemi, Kendra and i.
As soon as we got into the setting, I realised if we were to couple up, I’d be the odd man out…
Odd woman out, I mean.
I recognised one of the guys as Yemi’s best friend. Yes, when your best friend is crushing on someone, you automatically know stuff about that someone.
We did a bit of drinking. One would think we mixed up with the others but no, we didn’t. We just sat there with each other on one of the couches (actually there was another girl on it too) gisting about crazy stuff…erm, crazy stuff other people may not comprehend so let’s leave it at that. At one point the conversation turn into this:
“So Yemi’s single now.” That was my friend Kendra taking notice that the girl Yemi used to date wasn’t with us.


I shrugged. “What do you think?”
Rather than answer me,  faced me fully smiling and asked. “Is he looking?”
“For what?”
“For the lost key to the city. Bibi. “ she rolled her eyes at me and continued. “Is he looking at me?”
I looked in Yemi’s direction.
“Don’t look so direct!” she whispered. “Be inconspicuous.”
“I’m being inconspicious  enough.” I whispered back.
Seriously, I was. I mean, I only darted my eyeballs to the left. I made another effort to be more inconspicuous…bless my friend. I stared in Yemi’s direction…
Again…

He was deep in a conversation with his best friend. I wondered then, what they were talking about and if my friend was in it.
“Well?” My friend said, bringing me back to the issue at hand.
“Erm…no.”
The smile dries off her face.
“He’s in a conversation with his friend Kendra, you don’t expect him to be looking anywhere else.” I quickly added.
She sighed. “I like him, I really like him.”
“I know, you say that every time we see him.”
“Do you think he likes me?”
“I don’t know Kendra, he just broke up with someone…”
“It’s a yes or no question Bibi.” She said, cutting me off. “But forget I asked!”
I knew she was upset by that but one always have to be sincere with friends…especially best friends. I remembered Daniel and the trip then but it wasn’t a good time.
“How about a movie?” One of the guys asked aloud.

I met a man once - The bad?

Hi guys, it's been  months since I updated my blog... It's been a busy 1 year for me and I'm proud of myself and the woman I've become. A friend of mine reminded me a few days ago, of how grown I have become, especially mentally and in my writing skill. I didn't take her seriously until she mentioned my blog. You can't be surprised that i decided to take a look at it this morning only to become nostalgic.  It reminded me of a lot of things but more than that, I can see the flaws in some of the things I've written, and I'm grateful that I am at a point in my career where I can actually spot all of it with ease and create several ways I could have done it better...on the spot! Before I get any more emotional 😎 I stumbled on the last draft I saved for publishing in February of last year and I'm going to share it with you guys exactly as I left it back then.  Read On... "Some of us know how we can feel a lot of different emotions for just one perso...

My truth.

It's 2:44am and I'm crying my eyes out. I feel foolish but I can't help the tears. In my two room apartment that has always been cozy for me, I feel restless and a great urge to take flight. This apartment has been home for me for months now. I leave it in three months time but no matter, it's still my home...a place of refuge, a place where I can be hidden. ...much hidden and alone... But not exactly alone. I hear the voices and conversations of many a people. Now why am I restless and unable to  sleep even at this time? It's because of a man! All my life, I've had enough tears for men...but this feels the worst. I have never cried for a man the way that I've cried for this one. I've never even settled for such a man, never thought my pride and ego would even conceal themselves all for this man. He acted different... Better than other men I've dated... But he turned out the worst of them all. No emotions... No emotions at a...

How Well Do You Know Your Telephone History?

Have you ever wondered how you could just pick up this small device and talk through it to someone else, miles and miles away from you and hear them as clearly as if they were sitting on the same couch as you? I have wondered that a lot. I have wondered who could have stumbled on the idea that something could be done to make people who live far away from each other to communicate with each other by voice. How did the person get the idea? Well, here's what i found... Two men, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray stumbled on the idea; maybe around the same time, I don't know, but they both filed for a patent on the same day. This caused a huge disagreement that led to a legal battle to find who to be awarded the patent for the invention of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell won. His lawyer had filed for a patent a few hours before Elisha's lawyer filed for his own patent. One day, in an electrical shop, Alexander Graham Bell was trying to perfect a method for sending mes...
