Timmyz Tales: They say time heals all wounds

It has stopped Raining. 

My wave of uncertainty is over and my reality has stabilized

Let me rewind to the pregnancy scare "period".
Throughout my pregnancy scare phase, I was ill most mornings and everything irritated me.  My Boobs were heavier than I could imagine and my mind was doing me over…. I would wake up and chant the pregnancy away in a silent and repetitive chorus “I cannot be pregnant” " I cannot be pregnant" as if I was trying to wish it away. 

I became a heavy Vodka Drinker. For Nine days I was chugging Vodka down straight from the bottle every evening before Fela gets home. Igho said "just take a test and stop hurting your liver, it has nothing to do with this". I wasn't listening. I think I was a little crazy that period.

Fela would come home to me reeking of ethanol and he’d get upset and yell and ask me why I was acting out. In that same moment, he'd put a cold towel over my head and rub my back. His anger was obviously the least of my worries. I always ignored him and slept off after the back rub.

Through out that phase, my routine was: wake up choking and with a head ache, throw up, send a text to Vivian saying “Good morning ma, I’m still under the weather please permit me to work from home”. Then return to bed.. mostly hazed.

One evening Fela sent me a text message saying “we need to talk about whats going on with you” and so I prepared my “How the hell could you be married and not tell me speech” I called Igho, she knew how to ginger things up, she gave me morale. I didn't drink Vodka that evening, I took a shower and waited for him. I was ready to face him.

He came home and sat on the dining table ready for this “Talk”
Of cuss, my heart melted at the sight of his ever so warm smile.

Me; I think I am pregnant

Fela: If that’s the case you should stop drinking

Me: I am not joking

Fela: Me either. Is this fact of hunch

Me: Hunch

Fela: Please take a test. Then he giggled and in typical Fela Fashion he said “It’d be nice to have a mini you disturbing us in this house”.

My head almost popped, is this guy deluded? Or maybe I am the crazy one.

Please note: I still did not deliver my speech

We went out together that evening and bought a pee stick. First thing in the morning. I took a test… Negative

Fela: It’s all the Vodka you have been drinking. Please take a blood test.

His reaction was confusing me, why is he so relaxed. He has a wife and a kid for goodness sake what is wrong with this guy.

Thankfully, there was no need for a blood test because 12hrs after the pee stick my MG arrived… I was overjoyed. Legit Elated.

I sent him a text "I got my "blood" test, No mini-Felas expected"
He replied: Well damn., I was looking forward to us 9 months from now

What a wow!!!

Anyway that pregnancy scare and being relieved of it did something to me, it snapped me straight to sanity. That evening I cooked Fela a nice meal and while he was eating. I inserted his Hard Drive to the TV, selected the wedding video, played it and increased the volume.

Fela froze in his seat and I could feel the Tension rising. He got up and came to look at the TV Screen as though he wanted to verify what he was hearing. Then he looked at me and of course I had no expression, I was not surprised and I had already experienced the hurt so, there was not a lot more to talk about.

Honestly, I hoped he’d say they were no longer together, I hoped he’d say he only had it for archival reasons. Unfortunately, there was no story. He is in fact married to Henrietta and they have a child together. I, Timmy was just a piece of ass, cooking and cleaning another womans’ home. I was his Lagos “wife”. I slept in his house that night and I left the next morning like nothing was wrong. But I came in at lunch time moved all my shit and never went back.

He begged and pleaded and said all sorts of things. He sent flowers and gifts and after a few weeks he ran out of apologies and gifts to send then he sent me a lousy message "I appreciate you T". It took everything in me to not respond to that text.

Honestly a part of me was crushed to pieces after that night. Igho thinks I let him off easy, she thinks I should have put up a fight. That fight would have ended with make up sex, Fela had and still has my mumu button so the best way is to just Ignore him.

My only question though is "How was it going to play out". Why was he okay with us living together. Why was he okay with me getting pregnant. How was that going to play out?

I want to say I am over it, but I am not, I am just moving on. 

Just for closure: I am not with Van Damme or Folarin, they are still my friends. They are both happy that I’m no longer with Fela, they don’t know why and they don’t need to know. I have returned to my RAMSHACKLE sangotedo home, back to my schedule of waking up at 4:45 and getting picked up by Folarin. Van Damme is offering to rent his BQ to me but I think I am still healing from the Fela Saga, so let me just bask in my solitude for now.


My name is Timmy: This is farewell... for now.
