My ‘Keresimesi’ Party (1) – A table for Two!
Dec
13
So this weekend happened to be the time my office decided to have our annual Christmas party and of course I was highly dreading it due to the ingenious idea of the “Bring a partner” theme that was chosen for this year’s theme would be putting it mildly.
After all the Drama surrounding my last post, I am sad to write that I have not heard or seen from Femi since then. I feel really bad because when I think about it all that happened was my fault like he said sha. With an apology on my lips and hope in my heart I decided to call him and invite him to the party which was to hold on Friday after office hours. The call was short and to the point: he was fine and how was I doing? No, he didn’t want to come to the party with me, because he just couldn’t. Have a nice time at the party and oh try not to get drunk.
OMG!! He actually said that, I was so embarrassed and so pissed and so sad that I just said a quick goodbye, hung-up and had myself a good cry. When I had gotten myself together I called up Joys Big brother who was engaged to our friend Oby (not currently in town), he had kinda become like an elder bro to me and asked him to please go with me, promising that we would leave early. Being the sweetheart that he is, he said yes.

And so Friday came and went as depressing as I thought it would be. I thank God for Joy’s bro, he just made me laugh so much for the little time we were at the party that I actually almost wanted to stay, but my sadness got the better of me and I couldn’t stand the cheery and festive environment anymore.
By the 5th time I had asked Joy’s bro to tell me if and when he wanted to leave, I think he got the drift that all was not too well with me and finally asked me if i wanted to go home... as we were about to leave whom did I see – Femi outside the barbecue spot, I was so shocked and almost didn’t believe I saw right until he called my name – “hi Atoke”;

I seemed to have lost my voice... until John that’s joy’s bro tapped me back to reality when he outstretched his hand and shook Femi with a “chairman wassup, I’m John”. All I could say was “What are you doing here?”. I realised just how rude that sounded when he said, “i thought i should surprise you but it seems...” and with a look at John, he said – “guy later”, then turned back to me and “I guess I’ll talk to you some other time”.
Meaning what!?! I didn’t get what had happened in fact I was more pissed at the fact he came and then assumed that John was... well whatever he assumed John was. *hiss* if i hadn’t told him the truth all this wouldn’t be happening o, i blame myself though i can’t take it back.
Thus my weekend was a total disaster. Yes, I would like to say that it got better, but alas on Saturday my mom called me and scolded me about my ways with men saying that Femi had come to visit with his mom and was really upset about something I did.
Them my dad called on Sunday to say that my mom was giving him stress that he should talk to me to change my ways and such... Sigh

So I welcome Monday and the distraction of work with great relish...
