Episode 6
I wish the night never ended. We really had a good time and just when the waiter was about clearing our table she asked for her bill; and paid accordingly. I also had to pay for just my bill as well. It was the first time i have ever taken a lady out and she had paid her own bill. She saw the shock on my face, tapped me warmly on the shoulder, smiled and said; it is a western thing. I know if i were any of the ladies from here the narrative would have been different.
Fast forward, we went out for about 4 times before her 6month was up. I tried my all but couldn't get to buy my way into her heart or get her to fall for me. She was just focus all the time and very professional. Whenever we met over dinner, we talked a little bit about our social lives and more about real estate and how to make it big in Ghana.
In her 6th month, she had to extend her stay for another 6 months; plans of full acquisition of the real estate firm she partnered came earlier than expected. She had to be around to get the paper works done.
I kept trying, because i saw her to be an amazing and perfect target to add to my conquest of ladies. But the more i kept trying the more I realized it was going to take forever. I tried all the tricks that usually worked; money; she never accepted, fancy gifts; she always returned the favour; almost anything that could sweep a lady of her feet i tried but none worked.
I realized i was rather falling in love with her. For the very first time in a long time, i had met a lady who reached out to my heart. I always wanted to be by her side. The first 3 months of the remaining 6 months became a moment of bonding for the two of us. She practically became family. The 3 of us were always hanging out together.
Finally my wounds were being healed. I believed i could love again. I believed i could get myself a woman to make Phoebe smile again.
I therefore decided to put a stop to my bad habits. I had to let my house help; my weekend sex snacks, quit.
I made Phoebe spend more time with Jasmine to make things easier on me. She was becoming a woman now and needed a feminine touch.
I then decide to take a leap of faith. I resorted to AB once again because i just didn't know how to propose to Jasmine. He came through for me as always and gave me the tips that would work.
He made me understand that Jasmine loved the simplicity of life; she wasn't moved by fancy and flashy things. For instance, she preferred a home made dinner to a fancy outing. That was when I understood why she fancied her Friday nights with Phoebe.
