I couldn’t stop crying as I sat on the floor, in the middle of the road. The driver was equally scared, he thought it was worse. Chief had to step out of his car to pull me up and talk to me. He told me to ride with him. He wanted to take me to the hospital but I wasn’t hurt…not even a scratch. He then ordered his driver to drop me off wherever I was going.
He asked what my problem was that made me cross the road without looking out for oncoming vehicles. I couldn’t say much as I kept crying. He gave me some money, handed me his business card and said I should come see him in his office. That was how I met chief and the rest is history.
You may not want to accept this but every woman does it…some are just done subtly.
Every woman trades what she has for what she wants.
Some claim to only sleep with their boyfriends because that’s who they want to marry…isn’t the potential of getting married what they are exchanging for se.x?”
“But He is married; the whole world knows his wife…what if he doesn’t marry you?” I asked again
“Well, I don’t know but even if he doesn’t, he would have changed my status to the point where I won’t marry a pauper and end up like my parents
Whatever happens, it’s a win-win for me”.
We talked for a long time that night and Deola opened up to me some more. How chief completely changed her life. How she had been to the United Kingdom, the United States of America, even a weekend visit to Paris courtesy of Chief. All the money and gifts, how she was the one paying for her 2 younger siblings’ education, how she was the one paying her parents’ rent and taking care of her father’s health bills after he suffered a stroke.
Deola must have noticed the way I was looking at her and said
“I still have my dignity; I don’t hop from bed to bed or date anybody else.
If Chief ever let go of me, I’m still way better than most of these campus girls jumping from one broke boy’s bed to the other
Some of them have slept with countless guys for nothing…but I had to do what I had to do and I have no regrets whatsoever”
I sighed heavily as I processed the information. Most of the things she said made sense to me but I wasn’t sure I could ever do it.
