I checked my purse again, counted the money in it and it was still short. Hmmm..I was quite indecisive, what was I to do? I pondered. The thought of going back to the office to even borrow some money, was more tedious than the reality, itself. So, I called Felix, yes Felix!
Felix and I, had a 'cool' relationship, call it a relationship of convenience, you might be right, afterall, we were benefiting from each other, abi?
"Hello, Felix, where are you?" I asked. It took quite a while before he responded.
"Sharon, please let me call you back." He said and ended the call.
Believe me when I say, I understood what happened!
You see, as the other woman, I get to endure a lot! Like.....a lot of rubbish!
Few minutes later, Felix called me and asked that we meet at the usual joint. Well, I had no other option. Immediately, I arrived, I spotted him, seated at the usual corner and I joined him.
"So what's up? I wasn't expecting your call until weekend." Felix said, quite surprised.
"I know we agreed to see this weekend, but I'm short of cash." I lamented.
"Ah han! Sharon! Short of cash?" Felix exclaimed.
"Yes ooo.. I need more money!" I reiterated.
"Hmmm..." Felix sighed.
The silence was so loud that I could percieve all the protest coming from his end, and that was the last thing I needed.
"So?" I persisted.
"That means, we need to hang out tonight." Felix insisted.
"Are you serious? You can't be.." I protested.
"Well, that's the only way, this your request can work o!" Felix emphasised.
Hmmm.. for a moment, the reality of what I had signed up for, dawned on me.
My name is Sharon, like I said previously...I am the... Other woman!
And this is my story....
