"I know you're pretty popular around here" he said with hate before continuing "What bothers me is why you're on my property" he says going straight to the point.
I pull my hands back and sighed.
Oh he's not an easy one.
I look at him, still at loss of words. I had no idea what to say to him that would impress him. So I did the most stupid thing a person would ever do.
I ran away but not forgetting my shoes. Those cost #15,000 naira.I ran to Suzy's pizza place, got in my car and take a deep breath.
I can't believe I just did that.Wait Sade didn't tell me Daniel owned that place, I thought he only went there to chill. And she didn't tell me he's rude and intimidating as well.
Oh my God!
I don't think I can do this anymore, I just ruined everything. Shit!
I need a drink. I can't think straight right now.
I drove straight home. Immediately I reached I went straight to the cabinets, where we kept drinks and grab a bottle. I didn't even look at the tag I kept on gulping it.
Suddenly it was snatched away from me by Jade.
I forget she was here. Before I opened my mouth to complain but the only thing that came out was vomit. I puked all over her golden dress. OMG!"I'm so sorry Jade" I muttered before going upstairs to my room. I locked the door and sobbed bitterly.
This is a part of me I hate. Crying. Because I didn't know how to control my life.
I'm very pathetic. First Phillip, my first love treated me like crap because I wasn't enough. I seduced him, I was ready to give him my virginity but he treated me like crap! I would still give him everything all he has to do is ask. That's how much I love him but now he's getting married.And Daniel, he's intimidating. I don't know why I ran away from there, maybe because I forgot about who I was for a second.I'm Ola Smith, one of the most important personality in the world.I looked in front of the mirror and took a deep breath.
"I'm beautiful, I'm smart, I'm rich and I'm worth it. Many men want me because I'm everything" I said forcing a smile on my face.
That's right I'm Ola Smith.
I wiped my tears and opened the door since someone was knocking on it loudly.
It was Jade and she was all dressed in an elegant but beautiful green dress. It's like it came with gold heels, black purse and gold necklace. It was amazing.
She handed me a book and I read it out loud.
"What I'm wearing is what your mom wanted you to wear but since you messed up my golden dress, you should keep that while i keep this" I laughed but agreed with her.
I'll have to dry clean that later and wear one of my white dresses.It was now 5:15pm.
I searched through my closet and brought out one of my white dresses with golden lace around the waist. I loved it because it was strapless with a v-neck and stopped just beneath my knees. I slipped in red wedges that could cover the small bruise on my leg.
Jade helped me do my hair and makeup which I was really grateful for. I wasn't really good at make-up. I put on a golden wristwatch and golden necklace.
I looked pretty!I grab my red purse and we were off.
We got to the party and almost all of our workers were there. At least I recognize the ones I see.
Jade and I took photos together because this was probably the only time we would look good tonight because we were about to drink. At least, I was.
I posted some of the photos on I*******m and I started to get likes, comments and more followers.
I greeted my coworkers and we joked around. We took a few pictures together and soon enough my mom was here.
Immediately she sighted me she gave me a disappointing stare.
"Hello Jade, you look lovely!" She said hugging Jade who replied with her hands and she seemed to be thinking mom for the dress.
Mom understood sign language well so it was easy for them to converse.
I leave the both of them to it and went to the bar to get a or two drink. I drunk down two glasses since I didn't want to embarrass my mom. She'd be pissed and she'll stop storing alcohol at home.
Mom addressed everyone and encouraged us to have fun.
I didn't even hear what she was saying anymore. I just wanted to be with Phillip. I hate that I love him. I know that he doesn't deserve me but the love I have for him is more than you can ever imagine.I drunk down one more drink and soon enough I was unstoppable. I kept drinking to drown my sadness.
I quickly called Phillip and he picked up.
"Hheeyyyy my lloove I missssss yoouuu soo muchhh" I say burping.
"Ola! Are you drunk again?" He yelled through the phone. Before I could say anymore, my vision went blank and I passed out.
Sade Johnson called me three times and I let it ring. I'd given her too many freedom to access me that was why she was taking advantage of my leniency calling me whenever she deemed fit.I received another phone call, this time it was from Jade's boyfriend. Damnit! The picture I posted with Jade yesterday must have made him call me.I decided to pick up to hear what he had to say."Ola Hi! This is James, Jade's boyfriend- well, ex-boyfriend" he stuttered. I rolled my eyes at his response.“Yeah I know, what do you want?” I asked cutting to the chase."W-wait you have my phone number?!" He said, a little taken aback.He cleared his throat and said, "I-i mean yeah, I need to talk to Jade” he stuttered.“Then call her” I say nonchalantly.“You know she blocked me everywhere and I can't even go to her house” He yelled, almost desperately.
When I woke up, I checked my phone and saw that I had a magazine photoshoot tommorow 12 noon. I would have to take a break from work then.And also four text messages from Jade.'Heyy James and I made up, thanks for making me agree to see him again''I hope you find love too someday''Heyyy James has been the greatest boyfriend so far. I can't believe I stayed this long without him''We're going on a date later today!'Well I was happy for her and I decided it was time for me to tell her parents where she lived. Her boyfriend wasn't enough for her.I called her Jade's mom, she picked up almost immediately.“Hello?”“Hello Ma'am this is Ola Smith, Jade's friend” I said while heading to my bathroom.
On monday morning, I headed to the company. I hurriedly did the work I could because I had a photoshoot at Adanna beach 12pm and I didn't want to be late so when it was 11:30am, I left.Thank God I already wore the bikini beneath my clothes. Otherwise I would have to strip completely there and it would get uncomfortable real quick.I got a text from the driver.'I'm here for you'It was part of the contract, for the driver to take me to the location for security purposes.I headed downstairs and spotted the limousine waiting for me. A security guard immediately opened the passenger's seat for me once he spotted me.I walked in majestically and thanked him as he closed the door carefully."Hi!" I say to the driver who only grunted as response.We arrived at the beach shortly after and I was immediately bombarded by m
It had been a week since Lola and I became closer. After that conversation.We went out together and rumours of us being friends were buzzing around the internet.It was such a shame that Lola would be heartbroken in a few months and I wouldn't even be able to console her.I didn't know she was this easy to manipulate. Why would she think I would want to be friends with her despite what her useless father did to my mom.I didn't tell mom about my plan because she wouldn't understand. I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it for long but I was ready to face the consequences later.Meanwhile, Jade reunited with her boyfriend and family and she decided to book an appointment to fix her ear next week Wednesday.I was really happy for her, her life was getting back on track.Whilst scrolling through my phone in my room, I heard glasses shatter everywhere. The noise seemed to be coming from mom's room.Inst
I sneaked into my house quickly and was about to get past the living room when the lights suddenly went on. Mom. I exhaled.“Where were you?” She asked seriously as she cut the apple into two with the knife in her hand.It hurt to admit but I was scared of the way she was holding the knife. What if she snaps again and..Flashback*I just got back from highschool and was really hungry. Thankfully, the nanny already prepared my favorite fried plantain and scrambled eggs. Then I remembered hearing sobs and glasses shattering in Mom's room."Mummy?!" I asked running straight to her room only to find her cutting her wrist with a knife."Mummy what are you doing stop! Why are you hurting yourself?" I asked tears in my eyes. But before I could blink she pushed me against the wall and pointed the knife aga
After Jadesola reunited with her family and boyfriend, she did her ear surgery and it was successful.That was the last time I heard of her.Pictures of her with old friends and her boyfriend were all over Instagram.I simply smiled, those people didn't even check on her when she was down and now she was okay again, they were all over her.I sighed and decided to do some shopping.Thank God mom wasn't home, I didn't want to deal with her after yesterday.I grabbed my car keys and headed out.Then all of a sudden I felt light-headed so I leaned against my car for support and when I felt well, I got in.I started my car and hit the road.I decided to go to the most expensive store not far from here. I passed by the Gallery.. I quickly remembered what happened with Romeo.Flashback*
‘Beautiful you remind me of the good memories when I could be myself without any fear of having flaws’I smile as the first few lines of the poem Esther brought for me. I was extremely grateful to it because somehow it reminded me of old times with my mom. When we weren't popular and could be ourselves anywhere.Somehow it reminded me of Romeo too, I was carefree with him maybe because of the wig on my head that made him not recognize me. I liked the fact that I didn't have to fake anything around him. He definitely brought out a better part of me.I grabbed my diary and decided to write my thoughts.I asked Esther to buy me a diary earlier today and she did without hesitation. She was a very kind hearted person and I was grateful to have met someone like her. I shouldn't have judged her wrongly when we first met at the beach. I was wrong to do that.‘Your smile
I accepted Lola's invite to travel to Jamaica with her and her family. Then I begged Stephanie to get me out of here.Because I knew mom would come here since I ignored all of her calls, I didn't want to talk to her yet.What I heard through the phone call shook me a lot.I couldn't help but think of how wonderful this world truly was.These three girls, Esther, Stephanie and Lola were now like friends and it bugged me because I had never made many friends like this before.I was confused.I'm supposed to hate Lola, but I couldn't.I needed a drink.“Hey! After much persuading, they decided to discharge you. Your mom paid the bills before now so let's go” Stephanie said and I shrugged.She helped me pack my things and instead of her to drop me at the hotel I told her to, she drove past it.“Stephanie! You passed th
