258 Words
Ola and Bolu's bond grew stronger, with each becoming attuned to the other's daily routines. After the last altercation with his friend, Bolu visited Ola's place a couple more times, providing emotional support and companionship during a tumultuous period. As she spent more time with him, Bolu began to consider the possibility of dating Ola seriously. However, his profession as an artist raised red flags. She harbored concerns that artists often struggled with maintaining long-term relationships due to the demands and temptations of their careers. The thought of becoming entangled in a complicated situation, potentially ending up as a "baby mama," filled her with unease.
Ola's candid discussions about the attention he received from women didn't alleviate her apprehensions. He seemed to share these stories with her without hesitation, occasionally injecting a dose of reality by mentioning the inherent challenges artists faced in sustaining relationships. Bolu found herself torn between her growing feelings for Ola and her reservations about their potential compatibility.
A nagging question plagued her: should she confess that she had never had a boyfriend, or continue to maintain the illusion to preserve her moral integrity? Since she'd rebuffed his romantic overtures, Ola had pulled back, respecting her boundaries and treating her with a platonic affection that left her wondering if she'd lost her appeal to him or if his feelings had waned.
As Bolu navigated these mixed emotions, she couldn't help but ponder the future of their relationship and whether it was feasible for them to bridge the gap between friendship and something more meaningful.
