Me: merry Christmas
Fadz: you got me present (laughs)
Me: why are you laughing do you think you are too old for Christmas presents.
Fadz: no… I have just never been the kind of a girl to celebrate Christmas
Me: well… neither have I but this year a lot has happened in my life and I want celebrate.
Fadz: like what
Me: for instance… I got a pretty amazing girl as my girlfriend
Fadz: (frowns) you know my stand on compliments right
Me: I do
Fadz: so?
Me: and I think we have to change that stand.
Fadz: really how
Me: by you accepting that you are beautiful and amazing.
Fadz: (rolls her eyes) yeah right.
Me: you know mom is hosting a New Year’s Eve ball
Fadz: good for you and tell those any b---h who flirts with you that you are taken
Me: (laughs) well… why don’t you tell them yourself.
Fadz: I won’t be there
Me: yes you are…
Fadz: no I won’t
Me: we will see about that.
Her shyness had disappeared as the days went by and she was back to her old self. Christmas day was finally here and I requested her to sneak out for me after I had lunch with my family. I took her to a park where I had la!d out a little picnic just for her, as usual she decided to wear ripped jeans a vest and a shirt.
Me: open up your present
Fadz: okay…
She opened the box and widened her eyes in disbelieve
Fadz: What the f--k!!
Me: so
Fadz: this is an iphone8
Me: I know… do you like it
Fadz: are you crazy… no, I am not accepting this
Me: why… don’t you like it?
Fadz: it’s not that… I just can’t…its… it’s too much
Me: too much huh…. Do you know what I was planning to do?
Fadz: what…
Me: I was planning buying us a house
Fadz: oh my… I hope I am not in a relo with a sicko… dude don’t want your stuff and I don’t want you to spend money on me.
Me: I know… but I need you to have this phone babe… you know, I always want to tell you good night or good morning but I just can’t because there is no way I can contact you
Fadz: so you decided to buy an expensive phone
Me: so what… would you rather choose a fonkong?
Fadz: (laughs)… seriously why did you choose such an expensive phone?
Me: because you deserve the best and because I can
Fadz: yeah… I am not taking it
Me: I am not taking no for an answer babe… it’s yours.
Fadz: you know… every time you appear to be more stubborn than I actually thought you were
Me: stubborn? That’s a first…
Fadz: how old are you
Me: 22 going 23
Fadz: ok
She looked down and I knew that my age has raised the insecurities in her head.
Me: hey… age is just a number okay.
Fadz: gosh I hate that line
Me: did he use it?
Fadz: every time
Me: I will never be him okay.
Fadz: I know
Me: hey… where is your sister, maybe we can have lunch with her.
Fadz: my sister?
Me: yes… the one who helped you.
Fadz: oh… that one, I don’t know.
Me: you got no idea where your sister is… don’t you keep in touch.
Fadz: nope…. I used to. One morning we woke up and she was gone… she had left a letter on the table stating that she was going to find a life.
Me: what did she mean by that…?
Fadz: well my sister has never been on good terms with mom and she hated my dad… her step dad and she always told me that one day she will go and never return
Me: so she just disappeared.
Fadz: no… I actually found her in jail after two months… pregnant and in jail… don’t ask what she had done.
