The Guy from Wales

Mid-week already (thank God!) but I have been so busy at work it still feels like a Monday! Guess that's why I didn't get to put sumtin up yesterday but thanks to all my Comment Bloggers for making things so lively. Some say I am proud, others know this isn't the case. Some seem to like to give advise on how I should run my life, others know the best teacher is life itself. Some want to point the finger at me and call me the one with the issues lol lol lol, others know I have lived a beautiful life so far and I am looking forward to my future challenges. Some cannot read that these are my experiences to date and thus happened over the years!, others recognise that the reason I started the Blog is to alert weaker women that it's ok to feel like u are the only one not meeting "Mister Right" but to take heart that the Lord never fails us. He has been ridiculously good to me even when I say to Him I don't deserve it..................

I met Mister Wales thru my friend who lives in Canada (yeah this was her second attempt of trying to get me a correct guy). She spoke very highly of him but made it clear that she hadn't seen him in over a decade. Apparently as kids/teenagers he was one of those respectable guys that you always thanked his mum for raising him right. Thanks to all these hook up sites, Canada friend and Wales were reunited. As they caught up on their current relationship status, he said he was single and doing a Masters in Wales. My diligent friend didn't waste time in contacting me that she thinks she has found someone suiting for me. I must say Canada friend has fantastic marketing skills cos she sold this guy to me like a guy working in Chanel is tryna get u to spend money you don't have and u end up buying the good :-)) I gave her permission to pass my number down and thats how my story begins..........

Wales guy was definitely a breathe of fresh air. Every call felt like we were buddies from another life. He was a good listener with a good phone voice so I always wanted to hear his stories and marvel at how much he claimed to have done for himself in such a short space of his life. By this I am referring to his Uni days back in Naija, graduating on time and getting into his beloved profession at a young age compared to his peers. We hit it off so well in fact I was always thanking Canada for introducing us.

Finally we set our first date and of cos I insisted he comes down to London. We agreed it will be a day trip after Church on Sunday I shall pick him up from the station. I remember praying my best prayer, "Lord let your will be done in my life". I never pray "Lord let this be the man you have picked for me" cos His decision might not be appealing to me. Service was over and I did the customary stop in the foyer to greet all your friends and family. Ironically one of the friends I was greeting is going to play a significant part in this tale. She asked me what I was doing after Church and I told her I had a date with a guy who schools in Wales. I was running late so I told her I will call to give her the low down on him.

I get to the station and this would be the first time we are meeting in person. He looked pleasant and I felt warm around him. We probably had the longest lunch ever cos we couldn't stop talking. I mean every word that came out seemed to intrigue him, I was like whoaaa a guy that is actually listening! It felt good. We decided to go catch a movie but unfortunately there wasn't going to be any showing that will end on time to allow him to catch his train back. So we went off to a bar instead. By now my head was spinning with excitement, I'm thinking this is too good to be true but I sure would love to see this dude again and again. We said our good byes and I assured him that I will make that journey down to Wales at some point.

2 weekends after this date I set off for Wales. I convinced a girlfriend to come along as she also had a friend in that same Uni. He had cooked and I was impressed with his Chef skills. Once we had all eaten, we went partying and I remember thinking I haven't had this much fun in a while. Uni partying is sure more lively than all those adult posing parties. I did some sight-seeing on the Saturday then went clubbing, and before I knew it I was back in London feeling like I just had a fun filled weekend. Wales guy called to make sure I had arrived safely and we exchanged notes on what a swell wknd it was. In fact it was such a good wknd I had organised a guy for one of my friends in London lol lol.........History will later show they were both jokers.

Days passed so fast or maybe it was all in my head cos Wales had told me he was coming for a wedding. I didn't think much of it when he didn't ask me to be his date to this wedding. I thot there are a thousand and one reasons why he might not ask and the simplest being, maybe someone else invited him so he won't want to start wedding crashing with me. Wedding was supposedly in London so he said we could meet after the wedding or the next day. I was fine with this. The day of this wedding I didn't hear from him at all. I tried his phone countless times but he just didn't pick. Finally around 10pm he calls me, hey I'm in your town whats good? I'm like dude na wa oo what's up with your phone? He says battery was dying so he didn't want to waste the life line as he needed to get directions to the wedding but in fact he didn't get to go cos he got into town too late. Ok I am sorry to hear that, where r u right now? I am at a friend's hse do u want to speak to him? Erhhhh no..... Wales guy is like I just thot to check up on you quickly so guess will speak soon. Rewinnddddd, no mention of lets meet up, or look forward to seeing you. Ahhh I just said ok no yawa bye. I knew sumtin didn't add up but I couldn't put my finger on it. I mean just the nite before he was so excited about the prospects of seeing me again.

The day after this, my head was hot. Once again I couldn't reach his phone in fact it was switched off. I went to Church feeling low but as always service was on point so my spirit was uplifted. Once I got home I remembered I never called my friend 3 Sundays back to tell her about this new guy. I started off going on and on about how much of an impression this dude had left on me. My friend asked for his name and I told her, she then goes and u say he is from Wales? I was like yep, she goes this must be a very big coincidence cos there is a guy right in front of me sitting with his girlfriend who has this same name and schools in Wales. I was like no wayyyyy, as innnn stop the joke. Ok now describe him.........by the time he exchanged notes it was clear I was talking about her friend's boyfriend.

I felt so sick cos I knew the girl, we are not close but I know her enuff to know she doesn't deserve such. As I was still chatting to my friend, this silly dude actually logged on to MSN and started chatting to me about how "His phone was dead" so sorry if I have been trying to reach him. I asked where he was, he said at a family friends' hse, he even had the audacity to tell me the exact location (his babes hse oo), I was like whoaaa that's really close by, we should meet up then. He goes nah nah I am going to be running around this evening then off to Uni. LOLLLLLL what a joke!!! I was like no probs safe journey back.

I refused to pick his calls for 2 days and then on the 3rd day I was ready. I revealed everything to him. Now that the cat is out what do you have to say for yourself? This is one of my favourite lines till today: "well u see, I was trying to explore the both of u" (LOLLLLLLLLLLL explore??? wetin?) But now that u have gone out of your way to find out about this other girl then guess it's left for u to decide how u want to play it. I nearly choked on my spite. How I want to play it? Ok dude this is how I play it, focus your attention on your girl and leave me be! I do not want to curse u out cos of the good friend that introduced u. He then goes, but I had told u that though I was single, there is a girl I was talking to from back in December. Okkkk talking too now means she is your girlfriend! Give me a break, ok sorry I am dumb and not that good with translating the male version of English, but get lost already!

I thot Wales guy was gone forever, but foolishly he still kept trying to get me to come down to Wales!!! Arrrhhhh hell no! Of cos since I now had an intermediary who could tell his girlfriend stuff about us, I use to keep her posted. He hated this! Told me to tell my CNN friend to stop disturbing his girlfriends ears............ooooo the cheek of this boy! I sha told him that CNN will not stop so it's best he stops hitting on me!

I guess for him it was unfortunate he got caught out like that cos so many guys have women on the side abi? as fellow Blogger commentators have revealed to us hisssssssss. But you see that prayer "Lord let your will be done" has never failed me :-))
