I heard a familiar voice ask. I turned to face
Harry who looked very angry to see me.
‘’let’s go
outside and talk. I need to know what’s going on between you and my girl’’ he
added and nodded towards the door way. I shrugged and obeyed after noticing two
hefty guys who were standing with him. The last thing I wanted was causing a
scene in front of everyone and I equally couldn’t help but wonder the kind of
guy Harry really was. He looked very ready to ruin his own birthday party.
Luckily he
followed me outside without his two friends, making me a bit relaxed. He
dragged me to a slightly dark part of the hotel, where he felt we won’t be
interrupted. I also couldn’t help but notice that he was nervous.
‘’I know
how this happens; it all starts innocently from friendship. Gradually, you take
over my girl, you are already her companion and close pal right?. Slowly I
become the enemy and the....
rude insensitive boyfriend. Then boooooom I lose out
like a stupid fool. I’m not stupid, what I can’t just figure out is how you
managed to get into her life, live in her family house and be everywhere with her.
You guys are virtually everywhere together. Who are you, because you are not a
member of her family or in any way related to her? I know everything about
Lydia’s family but I don’t know you. Who are you?’’ he asked with a slightly
raised tone while I stared at him, clueless on what exactly to say.
‘’I have
heard stories about how close you guys are since she returned to Nigeria but I
don’t want to fight you. I know what guys like you need is money. Where were
you when she was just an ordinary girl?, where were you when she was struggling
with her studies?. Where were you when her father was struggling to become the
state governor?. What you need is money, so tell me, how much do you need to
back away?’’ he asked seriously, drawing close to me as if he had another thing
in mind if I tried giving a negative reply. I kind of felt he was drunk to be
questioning me in such manner.
‘’I’m not
after Lydia’s money neither will you influence me with your money. And please
don’t insult me again’’ I said defiantly, shocking the young man with my words.
He instantly grabbed me by the collar out of anger but before he could go any
further, I heard Lydia scream out his name as she appeared with the two ladies
she went out with a while ago.
I really
didn’t know how much they overheard as Lydia angrily slapped him while the two
girls tried to hold her back.
”imagine
how you are questioning a guy you barely know” Lydia shouted at him.
