Why Can't You Give Me A Chance?

Lanre scrolls through her phone reading the nonsense she was seeing on social media. She could not believe that people were digging into her life. How did her pregnancy become public news and who the hell would tell the public she and Christian were dating? But to think it was only there story on social media, was an understatement. The story on social media talked about a perfect relationship between K and Ify which got spoilt by a little misunderstanding. It also said they were working towards getting back together. Ify and K was not her problem but those lies about her and Christian seeing each other. It was more annoying because there were so many people flooding into her timeline and her page to congratulate her. She ignored all these messages. Since when did she started living her life like a celebrity that everything because so public?

Lanre decided to call Christian to know if he was the one behind all the rumour. But Christian did not answer. And by the time he called back, she already saw the source of the news. It was Mimi the Gossip Queen. Lanre wanted to confront her but decided against it. She would only confront her when she is sure it was not Christian that gave her those I formation.

“Chris, are you aware of the rumour on social media because I do not understand where all these shit is coming from?” Lanre said when Christian told her he had no clue how those things got into social media. This got Lanre riled up. She didn’t want to believe Christian had no hand in it.

Lanre asked Christian to stay away from her. This was the worst thing Christian would want to hear Lanre say. She told him she never wants to see him again. He decided to call Mimi the Gossip Queen and ask her to take down what she had put up on social media. But there was nothing they could do about it. The story was already viral and more than half the netizens had seen it. Christian decided to force a good mode. He would need that look to be able to carry out the days business. But after he was done with business, Christian went to Lanre’s house. On getting there, he find it reliving that Lanre was home. He tried talking to her letting her know he was not responsible for the rumour but he was going to work towards putting it out bay?

“How do you expect me to believe you? It’s not like I should be criticising you for this, but you crossed the line. You did not even consider how I will feel”. Lanre said. Christian sighed.

“I do not mind people believing we are in a relationship though. I love you and do not mind taking responsibility for you. But because you find it offensive, I want to stop it from spreading further. But seriously, why can’t you give me a chance?” Christian asked Lanre.
