So I was asleep at home yesterday when I got these heavy knocks on my door. I asked who it was and the voice on the other side yelled.
"Ley, open the door it's me" my name is Kingsley but she chose to call me by the last three letters of my name.
It was my friend (female). I could tell her voice even from my sleep, but this time there was pain in her voice. I quickly opened to reveal a girl with heavy eyes. You could tell that she had been crying.
"What's wrong I asked" as she pushed me aside and walked into the room. Instead of sitting down like she used to. She paced about my room. I knew she had something on her mind. Whenever she was in this mood it was either she has had a fight again with her boyfriend or she had been in a fight with her boyfriend.
That above sentence wasn't tautology, I intentionally wrote it that way. Gracey always remembers me whenever she is in a relationship mess and needs advice. That was the only time she remembered the direction to my house. Any other time apart from that we meet in school or at the park.
I walked up to her and hugged her tight, trying to calm her down. I could feel her heart pound so fast. I held her in that position for some seconds and when I felt she was okay to talk I asked.
"Do you want to share?" I said looking down at her. I was a bit taller than her.
She nodded instead. Then I led her to a seat.
"Talk to me," I said.
And in a few minutes she told me how she had had a fight with her boyfriend. When she was done she looked up to me and asked.
"Is that a good reason for him to get angry?" She asked, holding my palms.
"Yes," I replied. I guess that wasn't the answer she was looking for as her eyes lit up. "You've known me to be open with words and judgement. So I won't lie to you, you are wrong this time."
"But.." she tried talking.
"No buts Gracey. No buts" I looked her in the eye and said. "I've always supported you but this time you're wrong"
Okay now you'll probably be wondering what she did that's wrong. Don't worry I'll tell you.
A few years ago Gracey got a call from her then boyfriend who's now an ex telling her that they need to go their separate ways without telling her any tangible reason for breaking up with her. He goes ahead to flirt with different girls. Gracey had on different occasions met him with different girls but of course he didn't care. And then came Gracey's new boyfriend. He met her when she was down emotionally and did his best to help her back to her feet.
Now Gracey's ex is back and the crazy thing is that her ex goes on to rent a new apartment in the same building as Gracey's current boyfriend. He calls Gracey and tells her he didn't really break up with her as he needed time for himself then. He puts the blame in Gracey. Mind you this is after many years of flirting around with other girls. Makes me wonder how some guys think. How they find it easy playing with people's hearts.
Just yesterday Gracey goes on a date with him (ex) and her current boyfriend finds out. But Gracey says it's a harmless date. .
Well I might not be an expert in relationship stuff but I think Gracey is wrong.
Or what do you think?
Is Gracey wrong or right?
Note: Names in this post was changed to hide real identity.
Let me say this, I am lady too. Gracey is very wrong to do such a thing. Since you have a new boyfriend who is ready to love you and not act like the other ex who flirts (because no matter what, he will still flirt) there is no reason to go out with him at all.
At first, she should have let her current boyfriend knows about him.
She needs to cut off with the ex immediately because she calling it an harmless outing could turn to what she never expected later. There is nothing she should be doing with the ex anymore.
