A friend asked me this question; why are you single Dionne???.. I have asked myself the same question ”Why am I single?” a couple times and most people have asked me too but I usually don’t give a valid answer.
Am sure have given lots of cheesy replies like: I haven’t found my prince charming yet, you haven’t proposed yet, Just lucky, I guess, am on a self discovery path, am waiting for Channing Tatum to divorce his wife, am not ready for a relationship, I have too many stalkers on friendite.com to choose from…. but deep down, I still ponder if those are honest replies. Why am I single?
Then, I decided to carry out a survey, I asked people through the media the question ”Why are you single?” and I got really funny answers. 60% are still searching for their Caro and Johnny, 25% live in fantasy Island, and 15% don’t know what they want.
Chinedu came and picked me from the office, we were hungry after a stressful day so, we decided to have dinner at Nwanyi Abagana’s restaurant. I struggled with my oha soup and wheat while he was delightfully enjoying his bitterleaf soup with fufu. We didn’t talk much because we didn’t want to give the flies the opportunity to enter our mouth.
After the dinner, we drove to a community school yard, we sat on a block pavement, and we talked about our day, work, we even joked about some people. It was sparsely dark because the sky was illuminated by a full crescent moon, the wind blew gently causing goose bumps to envelope my skin. It felt beautiful, just having someone to talk to, someone that is interested in your happiness, that will make you smile, make you giggle like a child and want to talk and listen to their voice forever.
I was lost in his words, he was talking about a project he is working on. I wanted time to stand still so that I could stay longer with him, not because am interested in the project but his voice brings comfort, it puts me at ease and makes me float in limbo. But it was getting dark and he urged to take me home, we decided to walk to my house which is just a stone throw from the pack. We got to my gate and we bid farewells, I hugged him and whispered ”goodnight”, I was about opening the gate and he drew me back, I closed my eyes waiting for him to plant a kiss on my lips……
I felt a nudge, I heard voices Dionne! Dionne!!.. wake up! you have been sleeping at work for hours. Get up and go home!
