.....MY FAIRY TALE-drama queen

Work was a blur. i was flustered and all over the place.I kept looking at my watch, 5pm felt like another lifetime,i couldn't wait.
Was i too excited?, i thought to myself, I hope i don't jinx this weekend, judging from my past experience and relationships this was always the beginning of the end.
Like clockwork, at exactly 5pm he called, 

"Nne,how was work", he asked,

"Hi Obi, it was OK", i replied,

"I have an appointment in Ikeja and will be running a little late",He said

Typical Ibo businessman,money first, i said to myself silently, i was bummed that he was not as excited as i was, so i toned down my excitement several notches and replied in the most casual of tones,

"Oh yes!! Like i had forgotten, i am still very busy anyway",i said, he didn't need to know that i had been completely useless to my employer today.

I was bummed was he not as excited as i was,regaining my composure and trying to assume an air of nonchalance, i asked,

"So when will you be here anyway" i asked as casually as i could like i wasn't dying to know.

 "5;30pm at the latest,i am sorry for the delay",he replied, "i will make it up to you Nne"

Hian, was my excitement obvious from my voice?, i thought i had masked it cleverly,and so i waited, trying to get all my work done in the 30minutes to stop my mind from wandering to Obi.
After, i had done the much i could for the day, i checked the time,

What!!!, 6;15pm , was he taking me for granted? Had i made myself irrelevant with all my excitement? worse still had he forgotten?.

I was livid,he should have sent a text at the very least to let me know he was running late, so i cleared my desk, packed my bag and left the office.
I got to the car park, got into my car and pulled out to the road, i had concluded that i wasn't going to call him, though i was disappointed that i had set myself up for this.

Suddenly, i heard loud honking, i looked at my rear- view mirror, ready to cuss out the driver,and there he was, i didn't know what got me more enraged, that he was there?, or the honking?.

Did i pull over, HELL NO!! i was determined to try his patience as he had mine, as a drama queen which i am.
