Where do I start?? Okay, I’ll start from Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

My blogville husband, NaijaBloke<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (yes, we are still married!) came into town. He forgot his charger, so he came to meet me in church on Sunday morning to get my charger (which he was supposed to give me back later, but forgot to… but anyways… lol). I was to meet him later that night at a big party in Capitol Heights.<\/p>\n

But first, I had to attend a little graduation reception. Busola’s sister graduated from high school, so I went over to pay my respects. I didn’t have time to buy her a gift, but I remembered to return her mother’s plate – the one I used to take rice home in May. I was trying to find parking when I drove into something. I thought it was nothing until I was ready to leave and realized I had a flat tire. Crap! My front passenger tire was gone.<\/p>\n

Busola’s dad and uncle helped me fix my spare tire. I didn’t even know I had a spare tire and a jack in my trunk. It’s amazing how many things I don’t know about my car. The spare tire, as I learnt from Busola’s dad, was a doughnut. It was one tiny tire that looked like it belonged to a motorcycle.<\/p>\n

In spite of my discomfort with the tire, I drove one hour to Capitol Heights to meet NaijaBloke. The party was bubbling. The musician was Mr. Solek. I had never heard about him till that day, but he was really good. The music was the kind that had you bopping your head and tapping your feet unconsciously. I really wanted to dance, but Funmi and the rest were not there to act stupid with me on the dance floor. NaijaBloke was on the dance floor talking with his friends and he asked me to come & dance. I was still sitting down doing shakara… until I spotted Mr. Kisser.<\/p>\n

I jumped up from my seat and ran to NaijaBloke. I told him I needed to make a call, so I ran outside & called Funmi. The stupid girl just laughed @ me. I went back inside and went straight to the dance floor. I tried [unsuccessfully] to cover my face with my braids. That dance that I was doing shakara for ehn, I started dancing it immediately. I refused to look @ Mr. Kisser’s face, but I had to watch him from the corner of my eyes to make sure he was not too close.<\/p>\n

Eventually, our eyes met. But I chickened out and looked away immediately. LOL. Mr. Kisser kept looking @ me, but I kept dancing and acting oblivious to the pair of eyes that were watching me closely. I knew Mr. Kisser would not approach me as long as I was with NaijaBloke. But when I got tired of the staring, I told NaijaBloke that I had to leave. Really, I was tired, but that was not my main reason for running away. Bloke said I should give him 5 minutes. He went to talk to his friends. Those five minutes felt like five hours. I felt so alone. So vulnerable. So naked! Mr. Kisser was still watching me. He was trying to make me sweat. LOL.<\/p>\n

Finally, Bloke walked me outside. If you see the speed I used to drive off ehn… I didn’t even care that I was driving on a doughnut. Kai! Which kin wahala be dis? The reason why I really didn’t wanna talk to Mr. Kisser was because I had been ignoring his calls. I had stopped picking his calls after that one conversation we had where he complimented the ebony skin that I didn’t have.<\/p>\n

I told my marine friend about my ordeal, and he had a good suggestion: next time I’m in such a situation, I should approach the person first and accuse him of not calling me or returning my calls. LOL. See me see madness ooo! If I had done that, Mr. Kisser woulda called me crazy. LOL.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I fixed my tire yesterday (after visiting 3 different locations under the hot sun). They said the hole was so big that it could not be patched. I got a new tire. Don’t ask me where the hell I drove my car into. I’ve been asking myself the same question. Bloke had the nerves to say that women cannot drive. I go wound pesin oo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
