Nearly half of Nkiru dressing up session was spent in front of her full-length, expensive mirror enframed in neat, hand- carved mahogany wood. Nkiru was busy checking out the best outfit for the evening as she rummaged through her wardrobe and ransacked her make-up kit. She had been at this for nearly an hour and had roughly two hours more to the late-night date. She was a kind of person that believed in first impressions and she knew she had to make this date count. Nkiru was obviously bored. She had been thinking about her previous heartbreaks, which totalled Fifteen in numbers. She had even been forced to believe that she had been cursed by God, Gods or some Goddess for all her unfortunate fate. Nkiru has offered various sacrifices, atonements , fasts on various number of days, prayed uncountlessly but all to no avail. Nkiru had concluded to give up on dating but she wanted to give this guy she just met on Facebook a chance, just like she always does. He proposed they meet in person and the date would be tonight. That cheered her up a little. Afterall, theres no harm in trying. Nkiru finally settled for a dark red, knee - length gown and a pair of Gucci high heels to match. She adorned her wrists with a diamond encrusted Swiss watch and a pair of golden D&G earrings and necklaces graced her ears and neck respectively. She checked her watch which reflected back brilliant blue light to her coloured lips and eyelids and she saw she still had enough time to make the date. In less than thirty minutes, she was already outside the eatery where they were supposed to meet. She gathered her wits around her and entered into the colourful and beautiful eatery, looking for a reserved ‘Table’. She spotted the reserved table where a guy neatly dressed was seated and she moved up the aisle to meet her date. Few feet to him, he turned back and their gazes met - she saw her worst nightmare. It was the same guy she lost her virginity to who later eloped with her best friend, back in their secondary school days. She made two fast forward steps, downloaded two calculated slaps on his rosy cheek and stormed out of the eatery with balls of tears springing out of her eyes. Tears blurred her vision as she drove with full headlamps on, headed for her home. Her miseries in life came back haunting her again and the words; ‘Youll Never Learn’ kept on playing in her memory. She blamed herself for being too soft to have fallen in love again after countless heartbreak, cheat and deceit from men. She was taking a bend to her home when a Mercedes Benz 4Matic Jeep 2013 Model, appeared out of the storm and crashed into her, destroying her headlamps and shattered her door glass everywhere. In anger, culminating from the previous occurence and this new one, she alighted from her Toyota Rav4 Jeep, ready to face the man behind the wheels in the other car. You must be a very crazy driver to have done this, she shot out angrily at the other driver who was yet to leave his vehicle. When he finally alighted, she couldnt but notice he was the handsome type - finely chiseled nose, square jaw and broad chest plus a neat moustache to finish. He opened his mouth to reveal a set of white teeth and spoke. “I’m most sorry ma’am. I didnt see you coming.” Said Mr handsome in a very soft and calm tone. Nkiru was obviously suprised at t the calm of this man and Nkiru who was once hot on fire and brimstone cooled off immediately like someone drenched with ice water. “You need to learn to be careful next time. I could have been hurt”, came her reply as she strode off to her car. The young gentleman dint back off, though. “I’d like to pay for the damages caused by my carelessness maam. Can I get any contact or details please? Maybe a phone number?”. Said Mr Handsome. Nkiru did a double - take on that and thought again; what could it hurt to give this handsome chap a try?. Nkiru thought within herself. With a smile on her face, she procured a small card from her bag and handed it to Mr Handsome. Coquettishly, she smiled and whispered to him ‘do call please’. They parted ways and another love story began................................ WHY DO LADIES FALL IN LOVE SOO EASILY?
