Chapter 2

Where's my mom? Xavier asked Tope, his mom

favorite maid has he entered the house, she's in her

room.

Mom! he said knocking, come in, how are you mom?

I'm okay as you can see I didn't know you were

coming back here I thought you were going home

straight, I changed my mind, I know you didn't come

to check on me, so what is it? actually I came to

ask you a question, what question? it's about your

fashion designer, wait" don't tell me you like her

cause I'm not allowing you date her, why mom?

I'm not that bad, he muttered, I'm not saying you're

bad I'm not going to allow you break that innocent

girl's her heart I like her and she's my favorite

fashion designer and I won't let you embarrass me

again like you did with my friends daughters.

Mom how on earth did I embarrass you I did nothing

wrong to those girls they just didn't stay with me,

don't tell me you did nothing wrong, not one not two

not three and non stayed with you don't you think you

have a problem all the girls you move around with

not even one stayed with you and you tell me you did

nothing wrong and I'm very sure my son is not

impotent right?

God! mom! you know what I'm leaving forget I said

anything, look baby If you like her tell her I'm not

involving myself in this, I know you came to tell me to

help you talk to her I'm sorry I can't, I'll talk to her

myself don't worry and I promise to make it work, he

said angrily, don't you think you need to work on

yourself before getting into another relationship you

know I'm just saying and how are your meetings with

the therapist?

Mom! are you really saying this, I'm fine I'm really

fine, I don't know why you all think something is

wrong with me cause I can't keep a girl, look at me

Xavier I'm your mother you and I know something is

wrong I want you to be careful with this girl, please

don't break her you know I'll do anything for you but

that doesn't mean I can talk to her talk to her yourself

be a man she smiled and hugged him, thanks mom, I

should go now I'll come check on you tomorrow.

Wait and have dinner with your dad and i, some other

time mom, are you pissed cause of what I said? I'm

not pissed mom goodnight, he left leaving a peck on

her cheek.

He went to Quilox his favorite club where he hooks up

with his friends, Dele, Yinka and Tobi were waiting

already at their favorite spot in the club.

What's up man, Xavier greeted his friends has he sat

with them, why are you looking like that, Dele asked

his friend Xavier, bad day at work?' Yinka asked, not

at all nothing is wrong I'm fine, you really are not

fine it's written all over your face, spill it let's hear it,

Yinka said starring at his friend, before I can say

anything I need something down my throat, he said

beckoning to one of the waiters, get me a bottle of Don

Perignon, alright sir.

Are you ready to talk now, Yinka asked, I met

someone today, mom asked me to drop a fabric at

her designer's shop, I couldn't take my eyes off her I

don't think I've seen someone as beautiful as she is

this lady is really hot, I couldn't stop starring at

her I wanted to ask for her contact but I wanted to

talk to mom first, I went back to my mom so she

could do the normal for me, but instead she pissed me

off real bad I don't know why she still feels something

is wrong with me, he said with a glass of Don

Perignon halfway into his mouth, why should your

mom do your dirty work for you are you not man

enough if you like her talk to her yourself you know

where to can find her, Dele said, I guess she's tired

of the way girls run from you after few months into

the relationship, Yinka added, no offence but guy

what's the problem why can't you keep a girl, as your

friend we really need to know exactly what you're

going through we've being friends since junior

school you shouldn't hide things from us, Dele said.

You also think something is wrong with me, they

didn't just stay with me, I did nothing to them all I did

was shower them with love and money and I got

nothing in return I can't believe you guys are saying

this about me, Xavier said angrily, I asked Tina one of

your ex, I asked her why you broke up since you won't

tell us and she said ask your friend, I kept on

pestering her to talk and she said your friend is

"crazy" since then I've been wondering what could

have actually happened, Yinka said, you spoke to

who? Tina? Xavier asked, when did you start

meddling in my business, Xavier said angrily, you

wouldn't talk to us Xav, I saw her in an eatery

few weeks ago we had a little dialogue and I asked

her Xavier we're your friends if you can't tell your

mom you can tell us a problem shared is halved

solved I see no reason why...., enough already Yinka,

Xavier interrupted, Tobi you just sat there saying

nothing, do you also think something is wrong with

me? Xav, you can talk to us, we're are friends, if you

need help, we can help you, do I look like I need help

i think you all should mind your business, I'm not a

child, if I'm going through anything and i don't want

anyone to know about it that's my problem not yours,

I should've just gone home instead of coming here,

y'all just ruined my night, he said standing up to

leave.

He sat in his car reminiscing on what his friends told him, what's

going on with me? I'm perfectly fine why can't they see that.

Are you sure you're fine? Belinda whispered to him, oh my God!

you scared me, what are you even doing here? don't ask me

what I'm doing here I know you miss me, I don't miss you Belinda

I don't want to see you again, you've caused enough problem for

me please stay from me, you know that's not possible I love you

Xavier, I don't love you anymore you need to leave please, I know

you still love me and you can't do without me so stop talking to

me like this, you look tired you should go home now I'll meet you

there.
