Chapter 54 He's not a virgin
Ben keep pasting up and down
in Miriam’s shop.
"Can you please calm down?
Miriam yell at ben."
"And why is there so many
customers in your shop today?"
"Come, are you a devil? You
don’t want me to have customers?"
"That’s not what am saying, I
want to talk to you."
"About what?"
"I don’t what to say it in front
of other people, he said looking
at the customers who some
are looking at him."
Miriam turned and look at one
of the customers who could not
keep her focus because of ben.
"Fine let’s go somewhere else."
Ben drove her to a fancy
restaurant hoping Miriam will
appreciate it.
"And why did you bring me here?"
"You don’t like it? We can go
somewhere more beautiful."
"Is ok, I just don’t understand
all this your niceness to me.
Miriam said."
"Well, I don’t know that you
don’t like good things I would have
taken you to a road side mama
put."
Miriam got up to leave.
"Please sit, am just joking, my
sweet heart."
"If you insult me one more time
and call it a joke, I will leave and
never come back."
"Heyy.. am just kidding, don’t
take too personal."
Miriam sat back on her sit waiting
to hear the whole story, what did
he come here to tell me, if he is
not going to propose he should say
so let me move on with my life."
"Hey babe, so how is life?"
"As you can see life is good, is
that all?"
"What do you mean “is that all”
what else do you want?"
"Listen, am not going to sit here
one more minute if you are not
going to propose to me, for Christ
sakes I have been turning down
men that wants to marry me
because of you."
"Really? Wowww… come here
sweet heart, you know what?
You are a sweetheart give me
a kiss."
"Ben am serious"
"And am serious too, give me
a kiss."
Miriam got up took her purse and
left.
"Wow…… she’s leaving? Wait a
minute, did she just say propose to
her? Hell no, am not going to
propose to her, she should propose
to me.
Yea, am not the first to date her
ken dated her before me, no I
dated her before ken, yes, but even
then am not going to propose to
her, I will marry someone else,
let her go, I don’t love her anyways.
Is just that I keep running to her
anytime I needed someone to talk
to, but that’s just it, am not about
to marry her! Yak.."
Ben sat alone to enjoy himself, but something is missing and he
can’t lay his hands on what it is.
"Let me just go, this girl has spoil
my day."
Just as he was about to move, he
saw Gina and ken walking into the
restaurant.
"Shit.. why did I let Miriam go, ken
will think he is the only one that
knows how to fail in love nonsense
and as for that Gina she has not
seen anything yet, she is going to
hear from me."
Ken and Gina walked into the
restaurant ignoring ben because
ken didn’t want a quarrel to take
place at the restaurant
"And what are those two doing?
Are they pretending not to see me?
Whatever, I will get my own woman
more beautiful than that stupid
Gina."
"Didn’t you see your brother? Gina
ask Ken"
"I saw him, but what do I have to
do with him?"
"Both of you are funny you know?"
"Why did you say so?"
"I am dying to have a brother or
sister but here you are, both of you
fighting like cat and dog."
"Really? Don't pray to have one
like Ben ok, so who is the cat and
who is the dog?" Ken ask Gina.
"While, maybe you are the dog
and he is the cat."
"Never, I can’t be a dog, am the
cat."
"Hahahahaha Gina laugh at ken,
why did you prefer the be the cat?"
"Can’t you see that Jesus refer to
the devil as a dog?, so I can't be a
dog."
"Wow.. so you even read the
bible huh.."
"Yea, I do, sometimes and it just
made me want to forgive ben, but
he is too arrogant for my liking."
"Hmmm, if you read the bible
and it’s making you wants to
forgive ben then by all means
forgive him.
And if I may ask what is causing
both of you to fight all the time."
Gina ask
"Well, ben always likes what I like,
and he wants to take it away from
me."
"Something like what?"
"Why is she asking me that now?,
do I have to tell her that ben always
date any girl I date? No I can’t do
that. You are not answering my
question.
"Is just family issues you know,
he always wants what belongs to
me, and that is why we were
always fighting, but the one thing
I can’t leave for him is you."
"What!.. you means he likes
the women you like?"
"That’s not what I said, I said you,
only you."
"Ohh.. I thought all the women
you have dated."
"And why is that?"
"I was just wondering how many
women you have date."
"Just one, so don’t worry your
pretty head calculating ok." Ken
said smiling
"You mean to say you were a
virgin when we met? Gina ask ken
who just twist his face.
"What virgin? You mean you
Won't know when you see a virgin?
Ken ask Gina.
"How will I know?"
"But I knew it when I saw you for
the first time."
"Really?"
"Yea, so I wasn’t a virgin when I
met you, because it takes only a
non-virgin to know a virgin ken
said laughing at Gina."
"Will you stop laughing at me?
How was I supposed to know that
you were not a virgin.
So who dis-virgin you?"
"What kind of question is that?"
Ken ask not liking the way the
conversation is going, he may
end up blowing his cover.
"Yea, I want to know because I
know who dis-virgin me. Gina said.
"Will you stop it? Am a guy ok,
we don’t take such things into
consideration, Ken said.
"Which means that you had so
many women that is why you don't
know who dis-virgin you."
What is she doing? Is she trying to
pull my lags? No ken don’t do this,
is going to backfire don’t go down
that road with her please don’t
let your guards down he beg
himself.
"Well if you must know, you are
the second woman I have dated
and that will be the last he lied.
"Hmmm, lucky me, and I hope
you will not date anyone else apart
from me.?
"That is a promise, no other
woman can take your place in
my hearts."
"Thank you Gina said and hugs
Ken."
"Ken hug her back hoping and
praying he won’t get catch, he just
can’t bring himself to telling her
the true about his pass self,
anyways something’s are better
left unsaid he encourage himself
with those words of wisdom.
Ben want back to Miriam’s shop
instead of going home, he did not
want to appear as the only one
without a woman, after all it is
only Miriam that understands him,
no girl has every stayed with me
for long the way Miriam has and
even wants to marry me, he thought
to himself.
"What are you doing here? Miriam
ask ben immediately she set eyes
on him.
"Heyy.. calm down, I was just
kidding back then and before I
could say a word you are gone."
"Is not as if you were closing your
eyes when I left" Miriam said.
"Ok, am sorry can we go over that
process again?"
"Am tired and I need to go and
rest."
"Can I come with you?"
"To where?"
"Anywhere you are going I will
follow, Ben said."
Miriam just looked at him up and
down.
"And what are you still standing
there for?"
"Ohh.. please", he opens the car
for her to enter.
"Yes!, that is my girl, Ben yell,
he drove Miriam to Miriam’s house.
"Wow… don’t tell me you are
already a millionaire, ben said with
amazement written all over his
face. “I never thought your house
could be this beautiful.”
"Make yourself confortable and
stop complaining, Miriam said."
"Wow… where the hell did she
steal all this money from.?
"What did you say?"
"Ohh… no nothing, am just amazed
that’s all."
"For your information, I heard
what you said."
"Ok, so do you mind feeding me
in.?"
"About what?"
"About where you got all this
money, because Is obvious your
shop can’t buy all this luxuries."
"Keep dreaming ben, am not the
girl you use to know."
"Yea, I agreed, you have change a
lot, and I don’t like it one bit."
"Who cares, am not your wife so
whatever I do with my life is none
of your business."
"Well is my business now because
you are my woman."
"Read your own lips ben, you said
woman and not wife that is the
difference."
"But you are going to be wife
one day."
"One day is no day ben, or you
wait for that one day as for me
I move."
Miriam was starting to get
aggressive with ben.
"You know what? You piss me off,
just go. Miriam said.
