Too Busy To Be Bae😒

Authors: Ireoluwa & Amethyst 

Having someone in your life who genuinely finds you interesting to talk to every day and knowing you're worth their time is honestly one of the best feelings ever.

You think I am delusional right 😭, That's how Dami made me feel, I have prayed to meet a man who will make me happy, and give me all the baby girl treatment, which my friends have always talked about.

Holl'up, let's have a little backstory. Shall we?

I got into OAU after 2 years of sitting at home. I wanted to study Nursing, but that school decided to give me Psychology. I've been home for two good years so who was I to complain? I accepted it with my full chest. Psychology couldn't be that bad, right?

Phew! Registration started and nobody, I repeat nobody told me that the process of registration in this school was hella stressful. I finally garnered courage and went to campus. I stepped out in a black shirt dress. I mean, I  had to look like the baddie that I was.

After 20 minutes of figuring out where Psychology Excos were seated. I got there and I brought out all the necessary documents. They requested for like 15 passports and oh my I was so ready for them. My roommate prepared the way ahead for me. I proudly brought out my 46 passports and everyone burst into laughter 😂😂😂.

Well, well sue me!

One of the Excos whose name I found out later to be Dami said "Why do you have many passports?" I looked up to match the face of the thick voice and oh my gosh! He looked drop-dead gorgeous. Dami was a tall, dark handsome guy. He looked really really good. I immediately scanned him all through to see what he was wearing. He had a white shirt on and he paired it with black trousers. The Doc Martens he was wearing were the original ones not Aba Made oh and he was wearing Mont Blanc Wristwatch. Honestly saying he looked drop-dead gorgeous was an understatement.

I came back to life after being lost in his eyes😭😭, I finally answered him, "Wo leave me oh,

I am ready for all of you." After doing all the necessary registration, I left for my house. I got home to tell my friends about the handsome Dami. It was on my lips all along the bus ride. 

Sola my roommate looked at me in disgust as she screamed at me. "This is your second week in this school. Haba, Dami kor Damo ni."

What a vibe killer. I ignored her and walked up to my bed. I didn't want to listen to the voice of a pained woman.

A few weeks later, The department organized Mountaineering just as heaven would have it. I was paired with my prince charming. Oh yes, my sweet Dami. 

Guys, we talked and talked. We were walking at a slow rate and after a while, our hands slipped into each other. I blushed at this contact. I super loved it but I was so shy. Later, Dami asked why I was blushing and I laughed it off, hitting him lightly on his arm. We later started talking about my life before OAU and by the way, I found out he was the President of our department. Oh my! I knew I had high standards.

When we finally got to the mountain, everyone was getting ready to leave. Are you thinking about this? Yes, you are right😭 We talked for 3 hours straight. My coursemates were looking at me with wide eyes, bombastic side eyes. 👀 I couldn't believe the President missed the mountaineering event for my sake. We took a few pictures amidst the stares.

Days turn into weeks and weeks into months. We started talking every time, I felt so elated whenever I saw his call. My friends started calling me Iyawo Dami, even if we were not dating, and whatever we were doing was undefined.

Was there a need to define it? No! I could literally see the love pouring out of his deep eyes. Oh, Dami! One day he called me and asked if I was on campus and if I could help him get some stuff, I agreed cause anything for my baby ☺️

He sent a list that included wine, chocolates, and different feminine things. Valentine's was in a week and I immediately thought I was the owner of the gift. I mean, who else could it be?

I called my roommate to tell her. She squealed so loud. I was glad that she was delusional with me. She said it was cute, that I was the one going to the market myself. She advised me to handpick whatever I wanted in the package.

He credited my account and I immediately took a bike to New Market, I first went to Badejoko to get the gift bag I bought every other item took a picture and sent it to him.

I asked my friend if I should get a gift for him. She said I should go ahead. Fortunately, Daddy just sent my allowance. I dived into the market and bought a variety of gifts for my man (cries in Ekun Egbere). We agreed to meet at the campus gate, and I gave him the package, I asked him when we should meet tomorrow and he looked at me surprised. Like why are we meeting tomorrow???

Guy, it is Valentine! What do you mean?

I told him I wanted us to meet tomorrow. He said he would let me know when he would be free. Fortunately or unfortunately my department fixed an overnight tutorial for Valentine's Day, I asked him if he was coming he said he wouldn't be free to watch us. That the Academic Director would do that for us.

Ouch! He should have gone for my sake!

I didn't want to go to the tutorial any longer since I wouldn't be seeing my man. After the whole begging from my coursemate, I carried my bag, took a pair of socks and a sweater. That's all you need for overnight in OAU actually - okay, get lots of snacks, please.

I made my way to the faculty of Social Science. I was walking through the dark path as I was thinking about my life. How did I not get a Valentine's gift from Dami? What happened to the gift he made me buy? He has collected mine already. 

After a while, I was thirsty, I wanted to get a drink. I knew that those vendors at the Admin Basement would no longer be there. I just wanted to try my luck. 

I got there and boom! The biggest shock of my life. I saw Kenny in my class. I recognized her through her backside, yes she had a big bum bum. I really liked her as our Class rep. She really took care of me.

I moved closer to her and immediately,  I saw her and someone locking lips. I recognized the unique bag I handpicked for myself! Wait she was kissing who?

Dami!!! Egbami!

I wanted to make a U-turn however, I halted. How could Dami do this to me? Weren't we lovers? I mean we held hands! Talked for hours fam, hours and here I was on Valentine's Day watching my package in someone else's hand. I blocked Dami that very day.

Newsflash guys🤧

I am in Part 3 now and  I have preaching the gospel that dating a Part 4 guy will do you more harm than good. Dami showed me shege and ever since then. I didn't date anyone. I have been busy. 

I started baking cakes and making pastries. I was also selling scrunchies, lip gloss and all. I decided to pour my feelings into writing and I became a pro. Academics too? I read like never before. So yes, I was hella busy!

🥂to you guys that enjoyed today sha. Some of us were too busy to be forming Bae😎🤞
