I Like Her Guts

Christian frowned. Did Lanre really start all the trouble? He had seen that incident on the internet that day. But didn’t Ify do anything before that? And he could not believe Ify told the other girl what happened between Lanre and K just to confide in her. But he was willing to listen. He wanted to be sure of something before he would take any actions. He was at the point where he was wondering if he should give up on Lanre or still hold onto her like a tiny thread that will slip away. If he was going to still hold onto her, that was the best way to hold onto her. He would wrap her around his fingers until she no longer gets to slip off him.

Ify asked Christian if he still wants her to go on or he was done listening to her seeing that he looked lost. Christian twished his lips. He asked Ify to continue. She flashed him a smile. Then she went on with her story.

“I was disappointed that day and decided since Lanre didn’t treat me right and refused to listen to me, I will make sure she does not get K. I mean, she promised me she won’t let anything come between us, especially not a man! But she let’s the first man that tried to win. She allowed K get into her head and ruined our friendship. She used to be the one fighting for me back then in school. But she turned against me and used her claws on me when a man got involved. What a friend Lanre is!?” Ify said chuckling at this point.

Christian asked Ify what type of person Lanre was in school.

“I can’t say I know how she was back then anymore seeing how she has been to me these days. But then, Lanre was the quiet type. Also feigning inattention, pretending to be listening to music just to stop anyone from talking to her. But then she picks up fights that has nothing to do with her under the facade of defending the oppress. She was a bully in disguise. Even though we stayed together, there were times she would not want to talk to me. She was too secretive”. Ify said yet again. Christian only nods his head.

“Does that mean she has been feigning all those good attitude? Has she been faking it with me?” Christian asked. Ify shrugs. She asked Christian what he thinks.

“I think…” He smiled leaving his words hanging in the air. He stood up and walked closed to Ify. He squatted right by her side. He took her hand and squeezed it.

“I like her guts. And a guy like K is not worth having her. Don’t worry, we are on the say page. I won’t let K have Lanre. And I won’t let you get close to K either. Don’t even think of hurting Lanre. I know your pregnancy is fake”. Christian said. He stood up and walked away.
