Timmyz Tales: Take me Away

Let me give you a brief update before the Tea

Relationship Status

The boyfriend (*insert uncertain smiley*)

My relationship with Fela has been more of a struggle than a relationship in recent times.  We enjoy eachothers company for five minutes, sleep for Ten and then argue meaninglessly for twenty to twenty five minutes.

He is still tense about my relationship with Van Damme and I find myself consciously taking steps to convince him that there is nothing going on with me and Van Damme. 

I love Fela and I need to fix this.

The Friend 

My relationship with Van Damme is fine, not much has changed. I did not tell him about the fight so as not to enhance his “playbook knowledge” but he hasn’t dropped me off since then seeing as Fela has made it a point to drop and pick me up everyday and on days when he can’t make it, He orders me an uber, when I am ready. I feel monitored and somewhat controlled but if it makes Fela happy and convinced then by all means please.

The boo boss 

Folarin is the happiest I have seen him in months, there is this consistently scantily clad lady that he keeps showing me photos of. I don’t know what she does to him, but whatever it is, it’s working. We are now officially friends, there’s no more weirdness. The office Newsroom: “Olamide” has it that he has finalized his Legal Separation from his wife. So life is easier on him now. I am happy for him Jooo, everyone deserves peace of mind. 

The Tea- Timmy

I played myself

Amidst the higgy hagga going on between Fela and I, I have made efforts to spice things up, edible lingerie, dinner dates, movie nights etc. It works, but If Van Damme should just call me or something like that, it’s almost like "revert to original" we go all the way back to the “wet blanket” situation. It's exhausting and cute, I like that he is jealous-ish, it makes me feel loved. At least it used to, before recent developments.

Recent Developments

Fela went out of town to see his step mom in Abuja and I decided to spend the weekend at his place. You know, cook, clean and kind of just be there when he comes back on Sunday morning. 

I was home alone on friday night, chatting with Fela and ignoring Van Dammes incessant invites to Hang Out then I decided to watch movies off Fela's Hard Drive.

Being the “impatient channel scrambler” that i am, DSTV was doing nothing for me. I hit “input” on the remote control, “USB” and then began scrolling.  Now Fela usually does the External Hard Drive Movie Hunt, so I’ve never done this by myself. I selected the “Videos” Folder, flipped through and saw one labeled “The wedding”… Wedding Movies are the best right?

I hit play, there was some nice music in the background, then the familiar sound of Keyshia Cole’s voice – I love my baby…. I love my baby…..

My heart immediately skipped a beat

There are no words to describe how I felt in that moment, there he was Fela - My boyfriend, the person I am killing myself over, trying everything to get him to be more confident in me. I watched him so excited with a Tux on and a bride in hand yelling “If you were getting married to someone as beautiful as her, wouldn’t u be elated”.... Wow

I died a little, then I died some more. 

Then I quickly turned off the TV, placed the remote control next to it. Ejected (More like yanked off) the Hard Drive, placed it next to the remote control. Ordered a Cab and headed straight to Fola’s house in Sangotedo. Fola was not home, but I called him to say I needed to be at his place and he promised to be home soon. He asked Usman; his gateman to Let me in.

My name is Timmy and I played myself.
