If not that the coffee shop was almost empty, I was very sure I would have attracted a lot of attention with how loud my voice was. Fine, I loved this man before me with all my heart but he shouldn’t take me for granted. For Pete’s sake I am not stupid. “Why did you come so late? Who is he? Who is the man you were with? I said who is this man that made you come late for our date?” He barked as he stared daggers at me. If stares were bullets, I would have died there and then. “What man? James, you know I have been faithful to you. Deep down in your heart you are not going to deny the fact that I, Tola Williams have been loyal to you. So I don’t know why you have trust issues” A sob broke through my chest as I angrily spat.
On a normal day, A typical emotional Tola would have bowed her face and begun to play with her fingers fidgetily. I took James as my master and my lord. But I didn’t know where I got the strength and courage to stand up to him and reply him back. I searched my heart for fear, there was nothing like that there. Rather, I felt anger and hatred for him.
“Any problem miss?” The attendant asked as he put my coffee cup on the table. “Get the Fork out of here!” James screamed. One could see a hurricane of emotions inside him. “Can’t we see we are trying to have a conversation?” He glowered at him. “As far as I am concerned, this is no longer a conversation.” I puckered my lips, rose up and took my bag and cup from his table to another table.
I couldn’t handle any more drama. How would I cope with an obnoxious snappy boss at my place of work and also a nagging unreasonable bully I called a boyfriend.
The truth is, I was tired. I was emotionally and physically drained. I couldn’t take it anymore. With the anger surging through my body, I downed the content of my cup, took my bag and faced a red eyed James. “Look here gentleman” I began sarcastically, releasing a soft breath and emphasizing on the ‘gentleman’
