Visiting "Friends."

Whats up my people..how una dey? I know its been a long minute. My dayshave suddenly become endless..from work to class. Infact e no easy. I havent even had time to do my fav thing at work..visit blogs. Anyways, most of the craziness is gone for now so i can steal a visit here n there. Yes o, the roomate came back from her summer in Texas and na so tory begin.Lets call my roomie Nneka.

As I mentioned earlier Nneka was in Texas on summer workingin the sales field. I no go lie its hardwork but I have seen how it has built her character. She has the positive attitude that no one can bring her down. Its a great thing to see. Anyways, while she was working at this job a friend of hers introduced her to another friend located somewhere in the SouthWest.

SouthWest friend was very nice. Nneka talked to him very often but all they talked about was her daily sales. According to her they didnt get into any personal stuff at all. I remember her calling me n telling me about this angel. He would call everyday so see how her day went and would encourage her continuously and not even try to hit on her or get personal at all. She said the encouragement was much needed and appreciated.Although she had never met him she was glad she could talk to him wih no strings attached. He was a breath of fresh air.

Come first week in August, Nneka's work was done but it didnt go as she planned...she didnt earn as much as she expected after working her ass of all summer! Of course she was frustrated. Mr.SouthWest invited her to come and chill before going back home and Nneka accepted. First when she got there...there was a mix-up so she was stuck at the airport for a couple of hours. Later. Mr.SW came in the company of a female friend to pick her up. Nneka likes food no lie and she was excited to see all kinds of Naija food waiting for her. She says she ate like a starved lion. lol. The host was very nice and so was his female friend. Later on, friends came to hang out...people started drinking and all. Nneka got tired and went to bed while people were hanging out.

Then, she though she was dreaming and in the dream someone was lying behind her on the bed trying to ...u know! Na so Nneka wake up come see oga SouthWest dey try 'do' from behind. Na so she just stand up commot for dia ask him wetin im dey do. she commot go patio go sleep on top chair.
Next morning Oga SW come make nice breakfast..pancakes..fruit..everything..even icecream on the side self. As much as Nneka like food she no gree chop am although she dey wish say anoda person cook am make she demolish. She tall am say she no wan chop say wetin happen last nite...

Nneka: Wetin u dey try do as I dey sleep yesterday
Oga SW: Wetin you expect?
Nneka: I tink say u be better person. all dis time we dey talk as friends..we no talk this kind of talk.I demand an apology.
Oga Sw:ok, am sorry (the sorry no come from im mind)

The rest of the day Nneka no talk to oga..she just siddon outside dey look. Na so oga say made dem go watch movie. I no know who dey go to movie theatre 2 hours in advance but na so oga SW dey roll. As them dey too early na dem go one place so relax..the whole 2 hours nobody say natin! talk bout uncortable situations.
Na when the movie dey start oga SW voice return from pilgrimage. na so e begin dey ask Nneka why she dey act weird say make dem start afresh.
Nneka: Wetin u mean by afresh, make i tell you now say I dey no hold your hand talk less of making out with you or anything.
Oga SW no come like dat answer o...he ask wetin she dey expect as she come visit am.

My people, me self I ask Nneka wetin she dey find reach dat side! She tell me say she think say the man be responsible person o. On the real, I dont think men can be trusted like that anymore. The friend that introduced Nneka to SW is ashamed of course because he's someone she held had respect for. does this mean that men will always be men? I dont want to believe that o. I want to believe that there are men that respect women.

Anyways, Nneka learnt her lesson. No Visiting "Friends."

ABBEY said...

yeah we ladies push the limit sometimes...we gotta remember say bodi no be fayawood, especially for these men! no offense.

@ DH...How many 'things' did u get from chief? lol. I don tell the girl...but I was very suprised that she went cos she had a very bad experience with her first bobo here in the states (Naija guy o) and that one made her extra suspicious. As in she doesnt trust anyone. So I dont know why its now this 'angel' she decided to trust as a friend.

@Uzo...u said it right.

@ Abbey..OK maybe Nneka should have gone o..but I dont think she expected him to be that booty--hungry. Arent there females in Sw where he stays? Bodi no be fayawood but thats no excuse to start trying to come on someone thats trying to SLEEP..no prior discussion or 'toasting' or anything.

Na wa for Oga SW o. See, and people think i'm always suspicious of guys. When a guy is acting all nice to u, u've gotta be suspicious, u know. If i be Nneka, i no go go for that trip, at least not now.I go make sure say we don talk enough times and i don know him for some months or a year before i visit or i allow him to visit. I don't think he could've pretended for that long. She was lucky she didn't get raped sha, 'cos the ball was in his court.

All this is really making me think, so even friends with no strings attached cannot be trusted either. In fact what am I saying, something similar happened to me, a while back, I had a reading partner and a good friend (of like a year, we were in the same course together) we were pretty close, and we still are friends, but I happened to visit, because we were close like that and in the middle of the night I felt somones hand..hahahaah..He said he was sorry really didn't realise what he was doing I tease him even till today, but I can't explain that action. But this SW bobo is on a different level. So even after a year, you still can't be sure.
