Two years ago, I was at a certain restaurant in Surulere. I ordered my menu and sat at a quiet corner alone, dinning and watching music videos on YouTube. I enjoy my own company, which is why I loved the solitude. While I was eating, I noticed a beautiful lady seated across 1/
The other side of the eatery. At about two tables away from me. She was staring at me as our eyes met, and I instantly took mine off. I couldn't maintain eye contact for so long cos my shyness overcame me. I kept watching the music videos. 5 mins later, I looked up and noticed 2/
She was staring at me again, this time with a charming smile. I smiled back, she stood up and walked towards me with her meal. She tapped on my table gently and inquired to sit with me. I obliged. That was the beginning of a new friendship. We got talking 3/
And had long conversations about ourselves. She was interesting, and I felt intrigued about her intelligence. She smelt nice, too. After a few hours, we exchanged contacts and parted ways. We maintained communications for about a weak, then we finally got to meet again. 4/
She always wanted to come to my church. I felt something wrong about her cos her character was a bit different. I wasn't too sure. But my instincts were never wrong. So, I took her to my friend's church rather than mine. We got there and she sat at the first row. The worship 5/
And praises were in great symphonies and the atmosphere was filled with thy grace. She stood up in the middle of the sermon, folded her arms firm under her breasts, and was frowning at the pulpit. My friend was curious at her attitude, so was the congregation. My friend 6/
Walked up to me, and asked if the lady I brought to his church was all right. I wasn't so sure, but I replied in the affirmative. He wasn't convinced enough. He kept on making me realise she had some mental problem, and she wasn't behaving normal, but I couldn't see that. 7/
I didn't want to believe that. She was such a sweet and charming soul. Few weeks later she reqested to come sleep over at my place. I gave her excuses about my parents and how less they would think of me if I ever bring home a girl to pass the night. She understood, and 8/
Insisted we go lodge somewhere, because she wanted to spend some moments with me. We liked ourselves enough, so I bought the idea. We got to the first hotel where I made her wait at the reception while I go inquire about the room service from the bar man. I went in to check 9/
The room. It was nice, so I made for the reception to make payments. When I got there, one of the bar men walked up to me, and spoke in a tone so low I could barely hear him. He said. "Guy! Where you see that babe?" I was furious at his question, so I replied she's my friend. 10/
He shook his head while he stood akimbo, and said she's not normal. That she had mental issues, and he's been noticing her strange behavior while I was away. I didn't believe him. He was the second person to say such, but I didn't give in to that. She was too intelligent to 11/
Be what they have been labelling her. We left that hotel, and she insisted we go check somewhere else. We finally lodged at a new hotel, where I left her to go attend to some other things. 11pm, I got back there, I walked in and noticed her lying naked on the bed. She smiled 12/
And welcomed me with utmost joy. I could sense it all over her that she had been waiting for me. We kissed and made love a few times. Then we laid on bed, had the usual great doses of deep conversations till we slept off. 2am, I noticed some strange sound. I wasn't so deep 13/
Asleep. The noise was so strange that my heart was beating fast. It was coming from right beside me. When I finally mustered the courage to open my eyes, I saw her seated and chanting some strange words like a mad woman. She kept speaking strange languages and scattering 14/
Her hair. She was obviously insane. I was scared for my life. I saw a totally different girl from the usual sweet girl I used to know. Then, I remembered the warnings my friend and the bar man gave me. I couldn't sleep as I sat up hoping and praying the day breaks. She 15/
Went back to sleep. 6am, I packed my clothes, my bag, and my phones, and ran for my life. Changed my sim and cut off every means of communication. But the thoughts of sleeping with a mad woman keeps haunting me till this day.
