Note: picture is Tonye

"Please come in" Damola had ushered her into his state of the art apartment like a visitor.

"What is happening?" She tried to move close to him and hug him but he resisted.

"Don't" Damola clipped holding off her hands.

The tone was a rare and angry one.
Temmy decided to sit down since Tonye was looking on in delight and seemed to be interested in what was unfolding.

"I called you here to talk about us." He had muttered with emphasis on "us" after taking another chair opposite her.

This was another surprise as Damola liked to cuddle. He would rather squeeze his big frame on the single seater with her than sit separately.

He picked the remote and switched off the TV. His living room was one of her favorite places in the apartment she loved the thoughts the interior decorator put into designing the whole apartment. The curtains, window blinds, the choice of color for the living room and the Focal wall especially.

The seriousness of the moment did not even allow her bask in the comfort the living room offered whenever she visited.

"Talk about us how?" This sounds serious Temmy had said and looked looked on in amazement.

It was like a movie. They still talked while she was going out for her own Ushering duty at an event earlier the same day. She remembered teasing him about missing her. All these sudden seriousness was baffling.

"Well, " he continued "I have thought long and hard and I think....."

"Wait," Temmy cut in. "Whatever you are going to say to me, can she at least excuse us?" she had pointed in the direction of Tonye who pretended to be scrolling through her phone but was obviously more interested in what was going on.

"Please excuse us," Damola said to Tonye.

"Alright Dee, I will be in your room" she said taking her time before walking towards the master bedroom.

"In his room?" Temmy asked alarmed.

"Why wait in his room?" She looked at Tonye who was still catwalking annoyingly towards the said destination.

"That is the least of your problems right now Temi." Damola had called her his pet name for the first time since she arrived that night.

"I need to address it though." Temmy countered. "What do you mean by "my problem" Is it like a normal thing for her to come to your house and stay in your room?"

"NO." Damola was shocked

"Tonye please wait in the guest room" he had said to Tonye who was eyeing Temmy angrily

"Dee, it's just..." She tried to say

"Please." Damola said looking directly at Tonye.

Tonye walked away from the couple muttering inaudibly.

"As I was saying, I have thought long and hard about some things and I would like us to take a break from this relationship."

"What?" Temmy was shocked.

"Yes, you heard me." He replied.

On Damola's part, was trying so hard not to be taken by the innocent look. The look that once beamed bright lights into his life. This is someone he thought was rare and he could build a future with.

"Wait, what happened between this morning and now, how long have you been thinking about it, what did I do?" Temmy rolled out confused.

" Thought long and hard when?" She pressed

"When we started this relationship, I said I'd rather end it than suffer in silence. I am too good for that.
I am tired of the relationship and I'd like to move on."

"Adedamola mi" Temmy called her eyes turning glassy with tears.
She stood up and walked towards his chair. The cold tiled floor providing faltering support to her shaking legs. She was feeling hot from inside despite the AC in the living room.

"Don't come close. We already agreed we would not shout at each other which is why I called you here to tell you this. I don't want to take my anger out on you."

"At least tell me what I did"

"I don't have time to dwell on that. The most important thing, is for us to behave like adults in a time like this and move on."

"Is it another girl?" Temmy pressured. "Is it Tonye?"

"That is none of your business. I am an adult and I know what I want and it is not you."

"Adedamola,we can discuss whatever caused this. You know I love you"

"I don't love you anymore, it's simple. See Temilade, he called her full name. I don't want to say things I'd regret. I have a lot of "choice " words I would like to use right now but I am giving you the opportunity to walk out of my house and never come back."

Temmy didn't mind losing her pride this was someone she loved. Someone who at a time loved her in return. She tried so hard to find the face that usually looked at her with so much tenderness. The face that looked at her as if she was the sun itself.

The person that stood before her was not the love of her life. This was not the Damola she used to know.

Please Adedamola she had continued to mutter. He loved her calling the name so much. " I love you and I don't want to lose you." By now the tears were flowing freely down her face. She was helpless. What went wrong?

When Damola turned his back on her, she had picked up her bag on the table and made for the door.

"Excuse me " Damola had said as she opened the door. It was as if looking at her, disgusted him.

"I will advise you to tell anyone that asks you about the situation of things between us that we parted amicably otherwise, you may not like the outcome. The consequence may be damaging."

With tears in her eyes she had left and resolved to visit him when he was in a better state of mind.

Damola picked a throw pillow and screamed hard into it as he felt the door close. He could feel his heart breaking however he was not sure if it was in anger or Sorrow.
