The phone chimed and he picked it up.
it was a text.
He opened it and it was a message from the network providers.
Somehow, he scrolled down and saw another I replied someone with... "... I love you too"
He turned to me and with the coldest tone a man with the deepest baritone could have, he said,
"Bunchie, what is this?"
I tried to explain... "This was an honest reply I gave to a friend, who, out of a grateful heart for all the help I gave him during a program said, "I love you". Trust me, it was a sincere message."
He dialed the number, put the call on speaker... And on the other side, the friend said..
.. I was about to call you sef, abadie?...
Out here, brother man butted in, What are you doing with her? Who are you?
What I heard was, "that is a good woman, you do not touch her..."
And they went on and on and on...
Can you imagine what happened next?
I know we shouldn't play with "I love you" but who says you can only say it to a spouse and partner?
Should you even check your partner's phone?
