Marry Me?
When Lisa first woke up that morning, if she had an idea what was in store for her, her phone wouldn’t have been the first thing she would have checked.
She had gone to bed the previous night feeling satisfied and waiting for the dawn of a new day for her to carry out her plan. Lisa had planned on telling Femi that morning that she was no longer interested in being his girlfriend, she had seen someone else and they were getting married.
At first, Lisa had felt bad about the whole thing. But somehow she had been able to convince herself that she was doing what was best for her and shouldn’t feel bad about it. She and Femi had been dating for the past three years and still Femi hadn’t said concerning marriage to her. She was currently twenty six years old and wasn’t getting any younger, so when Frank came along one month ago, she had gladly welcomed him into her life.
Lisa had gone to the mall to do some shopping when Frank walked up to her. They had talked for a while and Frank had asked if she was seeing anyone at the moment to which she said No, a lie of course. But Lisa wasn’t willing to chase away a good looking potential husband because of a boyfriend who was taking all the time in the world just to propose to her. They had both exchanged contacts and a month later, Frank had gone down on one kneel and proposed to her.
Lisa had been shocked at first. This was the guy who hadn’t even asked her for sex and yet here he was, asking her to marry him. Of course she had said yes, this was what she had always wanted and there wasn’t any way she was letting it pass her by. That night, Lisa had taken pictures of her finger with the ring on it and had sent it to all of her friends. Everyone congratulated her and told her that she and Femi would make a perfect couple but they all were shocked when she told them that Femi wasn’t the one she was getting married to.
She had explained to them and had jokingly said she was going to give Femi a goodbye sex, a compensation for all he had done for her and after that, they were done and she meant it. Lisa had drove over to Femi’s place later that night and had kept to her words. She had slept with him that night and returned back to her place with plans of telling Femi about her engagement the next morning.
But Femi had somehow beat her to it. He had been he first person to text her that morning with a video of himself and Lisa’s fiancé laughing. The video had come with a long write up where Femi explained how he had bought that ring himself to propose to her but had decided to test her loyalty to him one last time just to make sure she was the right one for him, a test which she had failed woefully.
Lisa read the text as tears fell down from her eyes. She may have made some mistakes but she surely didn’t deserve to be played like this. Femi and Frank or whatever his name was, were going to pay for the pain and humiliation they just caused her, She swore.
