Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: My Plead (Respect me)

{DAVE'S POV}

What was my offense, why am I not always lucky just because I told her I was broke, she said she was not interested in me and that she was going to look for another man who had money. So this means my efforts are wasted, Why are women like this, why is it that women are not ready to suffer together with men, they just want a place filled with milk and honey? What's my offense, she just disgraced me saying I should better go and hustle. Why is Franca showing me her bad side this time around when I need her most? If she's playing she should stop or am I dreaming what's this prank all about?

Let me take my phone and call her,

(The phone Rings But Franca refuses to pick it up)

Oh my God, what have I done to myself? , Is relationship a taboo for me ?? Let me try her line again

(phone rings But this time Franca Picked)

{FRANCA'S POV}

Hello fine boy, have you already made the big bag, or you are calling to beg me for money again? Like I said you can't see a dime. Be a man and strive hard life is sweet if you have this money, Don't you know ?

{DAVE'S POV}

Please I know but don't do this to me consider those good times we have been together, consider my kindness. Don't let us end our relationship. I love you, if I don't have money today tomorrow I may have. Today is not the end of it all consider what tomorrow might bring.

{FRANCA'S POV}

You better shut up there or I will slap your mouth for you, are you sure you can ever make money again? It's already finished for you, don't you notice that you are now left alone, even your friends are running away from you. Because no one wants to play with a poor man like you.

{DAVE'S POV}

Why are you disrespecting me Franca, I'm only broke I didn't kill someone, what have I done to Deserve all these insults from you? Why is your face angry with me?

{FRANCA'S POV}

So the poor you is still claiming seniority, with zero cash in the account balance. You are really funny, go out and see your mate making an exploit. You are here talking about respect. Respect kills you there, if you have your money, respect will look for you, okay?

{DAVE'S POV}

Please if I have offended you forgive me, don't be angry with me. If you leave me now I may kill myself, because I'm deeply in love with you right now and forever. If you leave me now, where do you want me to start from?

{FRANCA'S POV}

You can start from anywhere, no one is chasing you take your time. This should be the last time you will ever call me again to discuss love. Right now you are insane, you are not mentally stable anymore.

{DAVE'S POV}

( I held Franca's by the leg )

I shouted with a loud voice please baby don't leave me . Please if I have ever offended you, forgive and forget. I have nowhere to go, I have been faithful to you. Please don't do this to me, otherwise you are causing some emotional damage inside my soul.

{FRANCA'S POV}

I don't think you have a soul, because if you have a soul you should know I'm not in for all this beg you are begging me this afternoon. Please with due respect leave my legs alone. I'm not the one who caused your downfall

{DAVE'S POV}

( Tears dropped my cheek)

I watched her walked away, i called her name three times she refused to answer. I scream at the top of my voice saying "I'm doomed, what have I done to myself". I brought out Big Ben wine having 85% alcohol and started drinking in stupors. The more I drank the more I flashed back to me and Franca's first date. I started reasoning about so many things, like our first kiss, first sex and all. Tears keep rolling down my cheek. Then suddenly I heard a knock at the door, I didn't even answer . Though the door was not locked with a padlock. When the person knocked for a while without a response, the person came inside. To my greatest surprise, he was my friend Jimmy.

{JIMMY'S POV}

What's wrong with you my friend, why are you drinking and crying? Did anything happen to you? , talk to me please my friend.

{DAVE'S POV}

I lost my client, for five months now. I have been down and I don't have money. So I thought of explaining myself to my girlfriend. You can't believe she disrespected and abused me, calling me all sorts of names. She said to the extent that she wanted a breakup. And I'm not expecting her to say that to me even with this condition.

{JIMMY'S POV}

O.M.G what the hell did the woman want, why would she do that to you, has she forgotten you so quickly?? Please my man in this kind of situation you will have to calm down, and concerning your financial breakdown, I will see what I can do. I played a sporty bet yesterday night and I won two hundred and nineteen thousand, seven hundred five naira. Send me your account details and I will send you eighty-five thousand out of it.

Brother. I can't keep watching you cry, stop it and drop the alcohol in your hands. I walked towards him and forcefully collected the alcohol from him, he had drank so much of it that he lost consciousness and began to act like someone who wanted to fall. I accompanied him to his room and made sure he lay down and slept.

Immediately I laid him on his bed, my friend Dave told me thank you. I told him to rest well, that we would talk again next time, as I went down the street alone going back to my house.
