Can't Change My Mind Now

K told Lanre he did not understand what she was talking about. He was actually confused and did not even know what she was talking about. He could not even recall him ever sending money to Lanre not to mention the amount she called. If there was anything in relation to five million that he could recall, it was at Abuja when he requested she spends an extra week with him and offered to pay her five million naira but she had refused.

“Of course you won’t remember Kehinde. But I have never for once forgotten about it. I never forgot how I waited for you thinking you would show up only to get disappointed by you. You told me to wait right where I was. You said you were coming and I should not move. I waited Kehinde. I was worried how you were going to find your way around Ibadan and then land in my house, but you were not talking about your coming. You were taking about the money you were going to send so that I do not try anything to stop you and Ify”. Lanre said. She looked really pained. She had said everything well but K was still trying to understand her. He asked her when these things happened. Lanre slapped him. She asked him if he was really clueless or he was acting not to know what he did.

“Lanre, how could I be acting? I never sent you such a message. I never sent you five million Naira asking to move on or use it wisely Lanre. I know I have been a jerk. But I did everything I did for you so you do not get hurt”. K said.

“I’m not a kid K. You always come up with one excuse not to contact me anymore especially after having sex. Do you think I’m stupid?” Lanre fired at K.

“No! I do not think you are stupid. I have done so many foolish things and I’m not worth it if you should choose. But I can’t let go because I f**king love you! Staying away from you makes me want you and miss you. And getting closer, I just want you even more. So I’m not letting go this time. I will protect you and make sure you don’t get to regret another moment with me”. K said.

Lanre pushed away the hand he used to hold her. She shook her head. She will not let K deceive her. She would rather stay single all her life than accept K into her life. She felt he was too inconsiderate. He was too selfish.

“I can’t change my mind now. Is it because you are no longer marrying Ify? Well, I’m not in for your shit”. Lanre said. Seeing how he won’t let her be, Lanre decided to risk it.

“Do you not wonder who actually released that video of your mom on Temi’s wedding day? That day I told you that you would leave me. I knew what would happen next K. Ify didn’t put up that video, I did. Do you think she would do that when she still needed to marry you?” Lanre asked.
