We had a deal… no strings attached. That was the whole point with Afia. Just fun, no
drama, no expectations. It worked for months. She’d call, I’d show up, and we’d
leave it at that.
Then I met Ama. She wasn’t like Afia. She’s soft, caring, the kind of girl you want to
bring home to your family. So, when things got serious with Ama, I cut it off with Afia.
Told her it wasn’t going to work anymore. I thought that would be the end of it.
But Afia? She no dey gree. She appeared at my apartment one evening, uninvited,
like, ‘You’re mine. You know that, right? ‘Me, I just brushed it off, thinking she was
kidding, but she was not. She began texting constantly, calling every hour of the day
and night, and leaving veiled threats that she would tell Ama everything if I didn’t
dump her.
Now I’m stuck. I care about Ama she’s the one I see a future with but Afia’s not
letting go. She says I “owe” her, like all those months of ‘no strings’ meant nothing.
And the worst part? A small part of me misses the chaos with Afia.
I don’t know how to go about this. I don’t know how to go about this. Do I come clean
to Ama and risk losing her? Or do I keep playing this dangerous game and hope Afia
eventually gives up? Either way, it’s a mess I can’t seem to fix.
