Must You Claim A Girl ?
Hey Lovviesss,
So I was reading an article on BN a few days ago and I was
like OMG this so happened to me and I have to tell y’all about my experience.
It’s about guys who Claim.
What do we mean by claiming? Claiming is when a guy claims
to have dated you or smashed you, whereas it’s all in his dreams. It never
happened.
As the fine babe that I am now, a.k.a Miss UNAD, Most Beautiful, Sexy Die, Segsy
Mama, Omo Eleh Mi Gan Gan, sexy eyes……………………..lolll okay, I will come and add
more to this list later. I kuku didn’t give myself all these names o; so sha as
per being a girl now, you know you’ll always have guys who want you for
whatever reasons best known to them. There are those who have the balls to come
up and actually toast, there are those who do the toasting in their dreams but
lack the balls to do so in real life – some of them send their uncles, aunts,
even parents to do this job (I promise
you this has happened to me a few times, most recently last month a guy’s older
sister and his mom walked up to me to ask for my number cos their bro\son had
been staring at me, & following me through the aisles in the grocery store
but said “Sister, this girl is too fine, what if she says No?” – This is
another story for another day abeg).
Less I digress. Anyhoos, and there are guy friends who you
are just friends with, they’ve never toasted you and you guys are just good
palls, and there are almost complete strangers who know EVERYTHING about you because
they stalk you via every stalkable means somehow
somehow sha, among this group of guys there is always a claimer who wants to
claim you as his girl, or as someone he has smashed before.
Let me start this story. So several years ago right, like
12/13 years ago, the BF back then started acting all kinds of weird, talking
about trust issues and how some bees were buzzing at him about me &
someone, which didn’t make any sense to me at all cos I was loyal to a T. This
was the beginning of us parting ways after such a long time together. (For some
reason, DBanj’s Don’t tell me nonsense just entered my head now…..now). Fast
forward years later, it turns out a mutual friend of ours was that bee. The
funny thing was that mutual friend had told me he was in love with me while BF
and I were still together but I didn’t tell BF cos I didn’t want things to get
weird with them. Marra of fact, he told me this on one of my birthdays when he
showed up with several gifts and plenty birthday cards – you know the era of
when birthday cards could even be taller than the celebrant, ehn oooo…that kind
of card was there. There were cards in all sizes. Now this guy and I were mad
cool then as in my friend any day any time and I always thought he liked me
like a sister kinda situation. I had to ask him that day point blank that dude “what
is all this now”? That’s how this guy started confessing all kinds of feelings
he’s had since he first saw me when I was a teen in Naija.
I had to laugh it
off just so things won’t get awkward. So to cut a long story short, this guy
started buzzing in my BF’s ears so that he would break up with me, and that
would make the coast clear for him. I didn’t find out all these until many
years later when BF finally revealed his source, by then he knew the friend had
lied but it was too late. Ol boy however
till date does not know that I know what he did back then. Every now and then
he will hit me up on Whatsapp talking about why am I cold towards him. Ol boy,
se wan shepe fun eh ni? Abi your head needs a reset? Best stay away from me o!
I plan on dropping the bomb one day on him in a most humiliating way. I just
have to figure that part out.
Part 2:
So I was emceeing my dear friend’s baby shower last summer
right, and that’s how one bloke started asking to talk after the event. I was
like dude, I’m busy…yadi…yadi yah. Dude said he was going to wait and wait he
did till the very end of the event. We talked a bit in the parking lot but I refused
to give my number. Except my number was on the evite or so per planner so he
got the number from there anyways. He kept texting etc but I told him I wasn’t
interested & ignored him. My friend had her baby dedication and of course
there he was again, my 2nd time ever seeing him. As the civilized
human being I am I exchanged pleasantries with him and he was there shaking as
if kini. He again tried to plead his cause and I wasn’t having any of that. Of course
I was sweet and lovely as usual which probably didn’t help matters. Sighhhhh
So please o, a few months later I went to a naija restaurant
in my neck of the woods that’s known for their very delish meatpies and sausage
rolls, and I saw this guy at a table with a lady, eating and talking. As soon
as I walked in the door, the guy whispered something to the girl who had her
back to the door, and she immediately turned around to look at me. I nodded my
head and smiled at them but went straight to the counter to pick up my order.
After paying, I walked up to them to say hello properly. The guy introduces the
girl as his cousin visiting from London, and I of course exchanged pleasantries
with her as the well brought up Ondo girl that I am hehehe. Next thing I know, the girl says So
Sav, what’s going on now? I’m soooo excited to finally meet you. When should we
be expecting you in London? You guys should start planning towards this thing o
and stop wasting time (this “thing” = wedding).
Me: ehn? Sorry can you repeat that?
London Girl: Y’all’s wedding now. So so person (pointing to
the guy) has been gisting me that you’re the one delaying.
Guy: Head burrowed deep in his neck, and avoiding eye
contact with me & the girl, looking like a thief with his hands caught in a
pot of soup.
Me: oooookay, errrm I’m not sure what this guy (pointing to
guy) has told you, but whatever it is – they are all lies. This is my 3rd
time ever laying eyes on him. He is not my BF how much more Fiancé that I would
be planning a wedding with or going to London with, heck we are not even
friends…. We are not dating, and we’ve never dated and we will not be dating….
Girl: Mouth open and in shock turns to the guy: Lagbaja, why
did you tell me all that then? Ki ni gbogbo eleyi now. She turns to me to say
she’s so sorry, but I had already walked away from them.
Can you all see the nonsense some men do all in the name of
they want a woman??
P.S, I ran into the guy again at a mutual friend’s naming
ceremony a few weeks ago and he kept saying please give me your number Sav, I lost
my phone & all the contacts on it…….please, please, please.
I looked at my feet to see if I was wearing Dunlop slippers,
cos I swear nothing would be better at using to slap some sense into this boy.
Mchewwww. Shout out to the real Men out there!!
XoXooo
Love is a beautiful thing.
