A GENTLEMAN OR A THUG, A LADY OR A FREAK
Michael O. Ewetuga
Growing up in Lagos, I saw a whole lot of relationships that beat my imagination.
You expect girls to want to be with the gentle guys, you know, guys that are always
doing the right thing. Guys who are obedient to their parents, ones who are
interested in education and that always stay out of trouble, but is it always that way?
No.
There was this chap that was always at KINGS CINEMA on Lewis Street, that was
the street I grew up on. We loved going to the movies even when we had no money,
all you had to do was wait till the movies were half way, then the guard’s go ahead to
go in provided you were willing to carry the posters in, the posters were on some
sort of boards usually placed in front of the theater.
There were always people around even when the movies have started playing.
Someone tapped into that situation by putting a soccer game machine in front of the
theater. The game was such that four people can play it, two on each side. So you
have a situation where some of us got really good at it and didn’t have to pay
because someone was always willing to learn and will insert the coins to free the
balls. Usually guys like this will solicit expertise of some of us that had gotten really
good to man their defense so they can enjoy their game.
The were some other guys who weren’t really good but were always down for
trouble regardless of the end result, they were not afraid to shed blood nor did they
care if theirs were shed, those guys get to play whether or not you wanted them on
your side. Once the balls roll out they were ready to play, your feeling or opinion did
not count. One of such guys was TETE, a guy that will not think twice before putting a
broken bottle part in your system. He never put any money in the machine but you
can be sure he will play all night, you better chose him to be your partner or you
weren’t playing.
This guy had a girlfriend that was absolutely gorgeous. This girl was the kind of girl
you want to be seen with, the kind of girl that makes you walk a foot taller with
swollen head. She was not too dark and that is not to say dark skin girls are not
beautiful, some of the ebony sisters are dark and shinny, just like a well prepared
chocolate and some taste as sweet. She had almost a perfect figure, not too fat not
too thin, somewhere in between with a great smile that highlighted almost perfect
set of teeth.
She had the kind of buttocks that makes you want to grab them and just hold them
all night long and when you see her coming from a distance, watching the rise and
fall of her bosoms you are likely to go on your knees praying for such a lady in your
life. If you think you have seen it all wait till she starts speaking, she had the kind of
voice that can keep you on the phone all night long not minding the fact that you had
to be up early the following day. She was almost a perfect damsel.
The guy on the other hand did not really have anything going for him, seldom
dressed right, hair un-kept and you don’t have to look too hard to see the dirt
underneath his nails. He had all sort of marks on his body, evidence of numerous
bottle and knife fights. He was short about 5’2, if not shorter, and as dark as a black
paint, he was as mean if not meaner than the devil and that was this beautiful girl’s
boyfriend.
I don’t know what such a girl would do to anyone that will make you want to beat the
living day light out of her but that precisely was what she got on a particular Sunday
evening.
Her boyfriend was busy playing the soccer game as usual when the lady showed
up. I saw her coming from a distance and naturally got distracted. I had the ball and
was trying to figure out how to go around my opponent who was very good with the
game too. I looked up and there she was walking majestically across the street
towards us. Her boyfriend, whose back was towards the direction she was coming
from, must have wondered what was holding my attention because his hard
emotionless voice brought me to the task at hard “are you going to play or look at a
piece of p..sy all night?” he asked. I shamefully redirected my attention to the game
at hand flustered.
What happened next ended the game. The girl had come up to him and demanded
to have a word with him. “Can’t you see I’m busy or have you added blindness to
your stupidity?” he replied by way of answer to her request to see him. “I just want to
talk to you for a few minutes” she pleaded. “You need to get your stupid as. away
from me” he warned menacingly.
When she would not go, and him feeling that she was distracting him from the
game at hand, pushed her away after a big slap that sounded like gunfire. She got
angry too and said something insulting to him while she was walking away, maybe
she shouldn’t have done that knowing the kind of boyfriend she had. He ran after
her, jerked her around and proceeded to beat the living daylight out of her. As if he
had not had enough he tore her dress and gave everyone present and passers bye
an eyeful, which I am sure they were shamelessly grateful for.
I had thought after that incident that that was the end of that relationship, how wrong.
About 3 or 4 days after I saw them together with his arm around her shoulder as if
they were the best lovers in the world. It made me wonder why a girl that beautiful
will allow any man, no matter how much love she has for him , treat her like that.
There’s this other guy that I went to high school with, he was like 1 or 2 years ahead
of me. This guy was from a much respected family, he was dating this girl who was
really beautiful and soft spoken.
This guy was a real player with tons of women jostling for his attention. Aside the
fact that he was a real playboy, he was on drugs and will, sometimes steal from his
beautiful gentle girlfriend. It was obvious that the guy was going nowhere but down,
yet this girl stuck to him like her life depended on it. They dated at least to my
knowledge for about 8 years if not more.
He eventually dropped her as he did his several women one time or the other. I had
wondered then why a lady will stay with a guy like that when it was obvious even to
the blind that he had no ambition and was neither going to be useful to himself nor
the society.
I have seen girls date guys who by any standard were not worthy of them or who we
thought were unworthy of them and turn down guys we considered great guys
because they are real gentlemen. This makes me wonder what a woman wants in a
guy
I read in a magazine long time ago where a woman was recounting what happened
between her and her husband at a salon. She said her husband asked her to do
something that she didn’t do. She said he slapped her so hard that it threw her out
of the chair she was sitting on watching TV at that time. She recounted the story with
glee concluding that that was what she liked in her man, that he was a real man and
not those softy that call themselves gentlemen.
Some said women take this kind of treatment from their guys because of the love
they have for them others contend that women might take this from a guy if the sex is
great, why would anyone want to be treated worse than an animal or is it that some
women are so freaky they enjoy the beatings?
