Diary of a broke Naija playboy - S01 E12

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 12

Before it all started,

Before i became who i am,

Before the girls,

Before the night outs,

Before the unlimited and unprotected S£x,

I was just one cool headed innocent boy who

lived a simple life hoping to find true love like

the ones i see in movies and praying one of

my crushes would look my way.

I can safely say i’m a cute guy, chocolate

skinned and standing at 5’7″. I have always

loved girls and they in turn had loved me back.

At an early age of my life, i had always

fantasized about meeting the perfect girl and

Falling in love. My only barrier was being an

introvert. No matter how many number of

green lights a girl would give me, i simply

could not get myself to open up and prophesy

my love for her.

One of such girls was a light skinned dame

back then in my jss 2, her name was Jennifer.

The mention of her name alone sent shivers

down my spine and when she smiled at me,

her gap teeth, i always looked at them like

they were the gate to paradise. Back then,

everyone in my class knew she was my crush.

You know this saying that when a girl loves a

guy, only the girl knows but when a guy loves

a girl, everyone knows except the girl.

We would smile at each other in the

classroom, talk to each other about nothing in

particular and most times when my liver was

upped, i would hold her hands for sometime

and let her know indirectly that i had feelings

for her.

I had always expected things to fall into place

by itself and save me the cost of having to

woo her and maybe embarrassing myself in

the end.

So my friends decided they were tired of

watching me trip for her silently and do

nothing about it. One Thursday evening after

school had closed. She stayed back because it

was her turn to sweep the entire class

alongside some other classmates. My friends

decided it was time to let the cat out of the

bag. After much coercion and persuasion, i

decided to do it.

My friends watched from a distance as I

approached her from the back, my heart

pounding in my mouth.

“Jennifer” i called with a shaky voice, she

turned in my direction and smiled at me, i

froze.

“Hey, neche, how are you? ”

“I’m fine” i said and started staring at her, i

couldn’t even find the words to say, i fixed my

gaze at her forehead as I sq££zed the paper

that was in my hand. After about 15 seconds

of a staring match between us in which i

could not even look her in the eye, she broke

the ice.

“Are you not going home yet?” she asked me

“Ermm i’m about to” i said and decided to tell

it to her anyway, she obviously was feeling me

and wouldn’t want to embarrass me i thought.

“i just wanted to let you know that….. “i

started and was hooked at” THAT”. She

looked at me with this expression in her eyes

that made me suppose she knew what i was

about to say and so much wanted to hear it.

“Let me know what?” she said holding my

hands and rubbing it.

“Erm, just want to let you know that i…. “ i

continued my stuttering.

“Chi talk to me” she said with a great deal of

concern on her face and voice.

I calmed my nerves and decided to make my

last attempt.

“i just wanted to ask if you needed help

sweeping the class”

I didn’t even know when I said that.

I shaa swept the whole class that day.
