Don't hate me because am pretty,hate me because your boyfriend thinks I am.. based on a true story 💕.

A graphics designer freelance I am,but to make ends meet I also worked in a famous restaurant as a waitress..

so there is this one afternoon as I was heading to my night shift.glamourously dressed in a skimpy dress because it was on Saturday,my makeup is on point you can bet that.

l hurriedly walk because I'm a few minutes late and my manager would not hear any excuses for late coming.

As I am about to enter the main gate of my work ,the place,which has a bar upstairs.. someone on the balcony is calling me."hey mrembo" in our country mrembo means a beautiful girl.so I look up and oh my God! there stands a dark, bearded handsome guy. ..(my friend told me bearded guys are not to be trusted because they only care about their beards)

But at this point I don't care if they care or not.i smile and wave at him. I can promise you the guy was smitten ,I was too, who wouldn't? I am pretty and this guy is hot.

So he calls out and asked to be served by me,mind you I don't work in the bar I work at the restaurant.

I went to him and ask what he wanted to order,, by now you know am blushing like a teenager who just met their crush.the guy is drunk abit and he places his order and asked it to be double of course the second one was for me,he said

Fast-forward he is done with eating and request to accompany me untilu shift is over do that we can talk..About what, I don't know.

My shift ended and now he acts very drunk and had told the club bouncers that am his wife that I would take him home. So I go to him and he can't talk but he is insisting that his car keys are lost.

The bouncers are like "you know you can't leave your husband here lest something bad happens to him. I tell them he is not but they don't believe me. Now I have to go with a stranger to my house in the middle of the night. but he is a cute stranger. Harmless I consoled myself as I called a cab.

We get to my house and Mr stranger is walking soberly upright he is even commenting on how my neighborhood is cool.

I live in a one bedroom house so I throw a blanket to him at the couch at the sitting room and lock myself in the bedroom.

I couldn't catch sleep the whole night.but I could hear Mr stranger snoring like his life depended on the snoring. the following morning I have to go meet my freelance client for some designs she wanted done.

I get into the shower and dress up. stranger also showers and as I was thinking we are leaving the house together he requested me if he could sleep a little longer and so I left without him.

With a stranger in my house, I could not concentrate with my work and with this two jobs I was not going to be able to be in my house for the better part of the day. I then I realize I don't even have his number.

Time to go to the restaurant comes and the bouncers are asking if am going to take my husband's care from the parking because it was in the way of other cars. but I cannot, because I don't have the keys and there was no way I could get hold of him.

I come back and stranger is watching a movie without the slightest care in the world. so he goes like am Zedek and I know you are Salma. and now that I have confirmed you are single from now onwards consider me your boyfriend.

He gave me no options.. and he goes to the bedroom with his blanket.. wait who does that 🤣?

The following day was on a Monday, well I don't work on Mondays so I decided to sleep on the couch. Mr Man carries me to the bed and promised not to lay a finger on me until we get tested for HIV/HPV

The following morning we wake up late he orders breakfast and calls for a cab.We go and get his car and drive to a pharmacy where we get tested and we are both good.all this time his phone is off but I have no idea.

He drives to his place and picks a few of his clothes and he drives back to my place... everything else happened that night

He asks me to quit the restaurant job and stick to the freelance he would be supporting me.. Then a call from the police comes in.. ,"Hello madam Salma. we are calling in regards to a Mr Zedek who went missing on Saturday and you were the last person to be seen with him"

Boyfriend takes the phone and tells them..," this is Zedek I am fine and I don't want to be found '.my phone rings again and it's the mother "Hey girl please ask him to come home am worried' so all this time I was being tracked.

Boyfriend takes my phone switches it off and Said to me " Babe now it's us against the world "

We stayed at my place for a whole week until his mom flew out of the country. At this point I am completely in love with him.i can't think straight.i also went and stayed at his place for a whole week too..

That has been the sequence one week here one week there until his brother flew into the country and had to stay with him.On one occasion he got drunk and touched me inappropriately. Zedek got so mad and he beat him up.and asked him to pack out of his house,so sad
