(Back to my story)
Now I have been calling folake regularly from time to time,i have made up my mind that if she would stay with me I will marry her.

Me:folake welcome to my home.
Folake:thank you.
Me:for the first time since I met you. You just step into my hom,why is that so
Folake:well ehn not that I can’t come anytime but you know a lady needs to be careful.
Me:hmm that’s right, well you are free to come into my house cos am not a bad person, I will never dishonor your visit here.
Folake:hmm
Me:(see as she look sexy as if I should enter her)
Folake:why are you staring at me?
Me:you make me smile each time I see you.
Folake:hmm you have started again.
Me:its the truth, it makes me love you more. Wait let me get you food.
I left her inside I went to the nearest shop to buy rice, I bought every ingredients for the cooking. To cut the long story short, we both did the cooking, we ate,we joke, we gist,we watched film. but I never tried any thing like sex.
We began this love affair gradually things was getting in order but I never knew there was skeleton in the cupboard, i never knew that life isn’t the way it looks sometimes.
As usual I went to her house on a Sunday night, as I got close to her house I saw her with a man in front of their house, my heart skipped a bit but I quickly recovered cos I don’t want to believe my toughts so i waited and I observed, with the little information I could get based on their conversatio, I saw that they were quarreling so I was a little bit relieved.
Now the man had left then folake walked back inside, I took my cellphone then I failed her number
Me:hello,
Folake:hi
Me:am outside your house am coming in.
Folake:OK
(I walked into her room)
I sat on Her chair without saying a word,she looked at me
Folake:what’s wrong?
Me:nothing, am just tired.
Folake:hmm, working all day
