MY SHOES

Hello lovelies. So i did a post for the3six5ng project which was posted on the 15th of June, 2013 and i thought to share here. It is a project that hopes to get 365 Nigerian views about the Nigerian life whether writers are resident in Nigeria or not.

The post should have a maximum of 365 words, including an appropriate visual which you have created. The intent is to create a crowd sourced diary, so it is important that your post reflects a day of your life and to give our readers a sense of ‘you’.

Here's my post:

Cute shoes, yes?
I have a high school graduation to attend at Adesoye but i'm feeling lethargic. My friend called to ask about my trip. He also asked if I had breakfast and I said no then he launches into a story about how his wife made moi moi for breakfast and he wanted to take one only for her to say she made just enough for her and the kids. She figured he always took care of himself besides, "Toin (that's me) should sort you out."

SayWhatNow?

See, a wife who thinks i'm 'sorting out' her husband is very worrisome. Even more so because we don't have that kind of relationship. I never 'sort' him out and I don't know how my name came up in that conversation. What is more worrisome is, a few days ago, his girlfriend (yea, he has a girlfriend) who is getting married in November to a guy she says she doesn't feel anything for, asked him if he has feelings for me. You see, she feels insecure and is wondering if he is already trying to replace her with me. *RME*

A wife is worried about her husband's ordinary friend when there is a legit girlfriend she should be worried about and a girlfriend is worried about an ordinary friend of her married boyfriend. It would be funny if it wasn't ridiculous. Nollywood all the way, no?

See,  I generally mind my business. When I see you entering a ditch, I tell you and if you insist on sinking, I let you sink. After all, it's your life. Mr. Married-guy made some moves a long time ago but I shut it down and consequently and firmly brother-zoned him.

I remember him saying he would get a kiss, probably when he does something mind-blowing for me.
Me: In your dreams.

What worries me now is that I hate drama in my life. In someone else's life, totally but not in mine. How do i even get myself mixed up in these situations?

I'm not complaining about my shoes. It can be fun...mostly but this isn't quite funny anymore.

Time to lose the closeness.

Another day in my drama filled world. #DeepSigh

Kisses. I'll be back.

  17. You have emotionally gboko of another woman, I am sorry for the wife oh. Instead of her to take of her home, she is leaving it for another woman she assumes is dating her man. Her eye will clear when some officially takes her husband

    ReplyDelete
  18. Toin, this is not a laughing matter at all o. I think you should just stay away from this love triangle. You have no business with that man, abeg.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nice one Toin, but to echo everyone else' sentiment, please give that man a wiiiiiiiiiiiiide gap before some deluded somebody starts thinking about how to ruin your fine skin for future hubby with some nasty substance. God forbid.

    Cheers.

  23. Toin dear. I really laffed at the part where you said you brother-zoned married dude. Good one tho, I friend-zoned a very good potential suitor and the guy was probably confused on where he actually belonged for a while. When i told him i was planning a trip to see my oga at the top and it was gonna be on his birthday, meaning i wont be available, he turned red(he is very dark o). I felt bad but abeg we have to call a spade one and not digger. Friends we will always be.

  27. Hilarious. Your life truly is drama-filled with these 2 women eyeballing you when their gazes ought to veer elsewhere.

    Be careful though. Men sometimes come with too much wahala.

  31. Nice write up. But I must say, why friend zone him? he shouldn't even be your friend at all. Married and has a girlfriend? Oh wow, the heart of man!!!! And the wife knows your name already? hmm be careful!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I read this in my email as I subscribed to 365 and I laughed so much! LOL...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Toin, please be careful because his wife is probably thinking sorts in fact judging by this post, she is. Maybe you should 're-zone' him.

    ReplyDelete
  34. What a mix up. Just be careful Toin. The man must have said a thing or two to his wife which made her suspect you. I think the man himself has the hots for you. Just avoid them all totally. The truth always emerges in the end. The wife will know very soon. Ignore them jare. They sound mixed up.

    ReplyDelete
  35. You go fear drama nowww. Sigh. Just be careful my dear. The guy is a very crazy human being and I feel sorry for his wife. She knows he is cheating just doesn't know the lady involved. I want your shoes.

    Ema Leecious: I know what you mean about the Africa Magic thing. Ema you have no idea how topsy turvy. I left out a lot of details because of discretion. I'm certainly keeping my distance. Thanks dear.

    iNyamu: Kai, ayam not the sorter o! I think i get what you mean though...it definitely isn't funny.

    AY: I honestly can't afford this particular brand of drama. Total-Avoidance.com!

    Feyi: I honestly don't even know what "it" is. I just know i'm having none of whatever "it" is. Make nobody even call my name inside the madness.

    Feyi: Gist partner mi, so kindred shoe spirits huh? I knew there was something about you :D I actually thought about getting the shoes in black but my heart went with this. Hi5

    LadyNgo: You know you speak the truth. Not fun at all

    Honey: Oro temi gan sumi. Biko, i haven't added any assistantship/deputy to my appellations o. I said i brother-zoned him se. Calling him brother and things. Mio le was daran. That one in your office is gaju. Brought him food? Serious osi ile pako. One month and he is already feeling over-familiar. People can like to find well kept trouble.

    9ja's Great: It would be amusing if it wasn't annoying.

  38. Lara: Choi Lara, where did you carry this to na? I did not emotionally gboko anybody o. I feel sorry for the wife too but since there are 3 sides to every story (in this case about a gazzillion sides) I am minding my business and staying on my sane lane.

    Atilola: I don't think it is a laughing matter either madam. Like i wrote, i'm very away from them because we def do not have that kind of relationship. This is why i am confused. We work together, otan o.

    Dee: My darling, Usain Bolt got nothing on me at the moment.

    Chizy K: Sweetheart, i'm staying as far away as work would permit

    Olufunmilayo: Lol why were you hiding under anon na? Serious brother-zoned o not friend-zoned. If I start embarrassing him with "brother mi" shay he won't behave? Brother lagbaja forever he shall be lol

    Spynaija: I love those shoes too lol. I can't even deal with all that drama. I didn't even realise there was drama until he mentioned them. I am very chilled and i run away from drama like a plague.

    T.Notes: Lmaoo. Why am i not surprised? I'm craving peace atm so i'm letting this drama go. Maybe a more fun drama #wink and yea #TEAM365NG.

    Myne: Ah, you're laughing at my dilemma *mock tears*

    Missy Tee's: I am just tired even. I hope wife is not getting ideas o. I honestly can't deal.

  39. Blessings....
    Be mindful to not allow yourself to be coopted into a relationship with this "Mr. Married." in fact I would go so far as to suggest you put some very long distance between you and him, and your communication. Mr. Married as very obscure boundaries with frayed lines, be careful.

    have a blessed weekend.
