All I just wanted knowing was the man I was dating. I wanted to understand the man who was soon going to be a fiance to me. Marrying a man who clubs was never my dream as a lady. I detested men who drank and smoked.

Alex claimed that sometimes he just visited the club to drink and just stare at the beautiful and sexy looking women who danced. After the the party, he then drove home to sleep.

I remember asking Alex if he had ever taken a girl home from a club before. Alex bursted in laughter.

"Me? Carry a girl home from a club to my house? A total stranger? Ah common Kemi. I cannot do that jor. I am not that kind of man that sleeps with a prostitute. But I have done that once o. The lady was just too drunk to go home, so hence my house was close, I decided to give her a ride. She only spent the night in my house that's all."

When Alex saw the look of disbelieve on my face, he raised his left hands up and placed his right hands on his chest.

Kemi trust me na. You know I cannot lie to you. I have never taken a lady home with the purpose of sleeping with her. It was just that lady I took home and.…"Alex and what?" Okay Kemi. She tried something funny but…I knew it. I knew you have taken a lady home before and slept with her. Look I know how these things work. I have worked in a bar before. You see that old man and that girl over there, I have seen such several times. It is not a new to me. So just stop lying. I love it when a man is being sincere to me. I hate lies." I spoke in a high-pitched tone. I was already getting upset and angry with Alex for no reason. It was obvious that my anger was soon going to spoil the mood. The old memories of my bar and club experience was already taking over me. The thought of Alex always visiting the club and claiming never to have taken a lady home just to have sex with her, sounded unbelievable and unrealistic. I became restless and uneasy. My mood was spoilt within a twinkle of an eye. "Kemi calm down. Don't get angry again naw. See that was the only lady I took home. I swear to you, she was drunk and needed help. I cannot lie naw. What will I gain in lying to the woman I love."

"What was the name of the woman you took home? Tell me Alex. That's what men do. They take a woman home from a club to satisfy their selfish desires, only to fall asleep and wake up the next morning without even asking the name of the lady they had taken home." Alex, If you took her to your house you should have had a friendly conversation together. So what was her name?" I asked slightly raising my voice.
