You were going on your first date
You both had planned to eat at a restaurant on the Island
She said she would prefer an early dinner, 6 pm-ish
You drove down to pick her up at her house
She suddenly told you she needs to buy a certain kind of pad for her period
You drove all over the city looking for the specific pad she wanted
You eventually got it at Jara Mall in Lagos
When you were done, you still had time to have lunch
She insisted that she must have lunch at Mega Kitchen
You took her there
She bought takeaways, claiming she was too tired to sit down and have a bite with you
You said okay
You got into the car to drive her back home
She said she was not going home, she had a meeting at a hotel not too far from that restaurant
You suddenly suspected that she had only stylishly used you to drive her from her house to run errands,
buy food, and then drop her off where she would meet her boyfriend
You asked her whom she was going to meet at the hotel. She said, “Her friend.”
You said that when you get to the hotel, you would like to meet a friend
She said it was too early in your meeting with each other for her to introduce you to anyone
You got to the hotel, she picked up her phone, and called her friend
The friend told her the hotel has now changed to another one because he couldn’t book a room at the one you drove her to
She told you to please drop her off at a hotel on CMD road
You already regretted the whole date thing; it felt too much like you were being used, and it was insulting to continue to play along
As you drove towards the CMD road, you complained, “I don’t understand what is happening here, but I can’t keep quiet.
Why are you dragging me to a rendezvous with another man? Am I your Uber?
You should have some self-respect and not do this to someone who likes you the way I do.
Right now I am reconsidering my choices,” You said.
She looked at you intently and suddenly grabbed the steering wheel with her left hand
While you were driving (Not speeding) She said, “I will just steer us under a trailer.
Do you think I am the kind of girl you can talk to anyhow? What is your business with
where I am going and whom I am going to meet?
This is our first date, and you don’t know me yet, so calm down, or I might bash your car.”
You laugh nervously
You started counting the minutes until you get her to the hotel,
where you will drop her off
Both of you went quiet
She looked at you, but you ignored her
You were sure you had carried some mad lady, and you just wanted the torture to be
over as soon as possible
You got close to Fela Shrine
You saw a huge truck oozing pitch-black fumes ahead of you
As you were driving past it, she wound down the windshield and started inhaling
the black fumes from the truck
You wondered what that was about
She looked at you and said, “I like inhaling the fumes from trucks and generators; it is my nasty habit.” Ha!
You began to pray in the Spirit
You know for sure she was as mad as a hatter
You got to the hotel she was heading to, and dropped her off
As you drove off, you thanked your star for dodging a bullet
A few days later, she called and apologised for everything that happened
She asked you if you would like to go on another date with her
Narrator: You will assume that since he had seen everything he saw on their first date,
to the point where he was thanking his stars that he was able to drop her off and
escape in one piece, he would have blocked her phone number and kept very far away
from her, but you know what they say about a dog in heat.
He felt he should get rewarded for the way she treated him on that first date
He felt she would sleep with him, and this would make up for the stress he went through
He promised himself that once he had slept with her, he would distance himself from her
It was not a pretty thinking process, and he would probably deny it if you put it to him that way
However, that was his thinking process
Hw wanted to sleep with the mad girl and then walk away
So he went on a second date with her. It was a proper dinner date
They talked, wined, and dined
When it was time to leave the hotel, she asked him if they could stay in the hotel for the night
She had only heard of the hotel, but she had never seen the room.
He made inquiries and got a room
They slept there all night
The next morning, she went to the hotel management and claimed he raped her all night
They got the police involved
He was arrested
She didn’t know the hotel’s CCTV was working
They saw her willingly go into the room with him
Her boyfriend wanted to know where she was all night and threatened to break up with her, looking upset
Suddenly, she dropped the call and started crying
What was the problem?
She didn’t know what to tell him, so she decided to exonerate herself by accusing the other man of rape
She didn’t know what to tell him so she decided to exonerate herself by accusing the other man of rape
He was exonerated
She was considered a mental case by the police
They didn’t press any charges
