NAOMI X MARTINS

OTHELLOS, was a beautiful place to work, especially the warmth of the surrounding. The beautiful people i found myself surrounded with, they were so welcoming and nice. Yes i loved the fact that i was able to dress decent as a waitress, unlike other lounges.
I resumed work on a lovely Wednesday evening, found myself nervous, scared and a bit distracted. As much as i wanted the job, i just knew inside of me that this was the list of all jobs i wanted to do. But as fate would have it, i had no one helping out with the bills, so man has to work just to survive.
I had to be trained on how to hold the trays, with the drinks and glasses in them. Looking smart was my hobby so that wasn't difficult to maintain.But been fearless, huh! its difficult on this side of the world. Because i was all engraved in fear, fear of the new change. All that kept strolling through my head was a prayer "Lord i just want to have a Normal Life" let this pass.

Days past as i got better day after day, with the trays, glasses, wines, cocktails, brandy etc. I was getting use to the new change, people and the best part experiences. Because i was so new to this it made me look so naive.
As i prepared for every club day, i also counted my days as it approaches. Every sales i made and tips i got made it more exciting for me and worth while, it made me want to remain there but i knew i never belonged there cause a lot of things were so strange and new to me. I kept reminding myself that i needed to make the best of every situation i found myself because i knew it was only for just a while.
Work days approached, as i always looked forward to a long noisy nights. "Oh how i always  hated the noisy nights".
I had mixed feelings, i wasn't happy, but i was so grateful to the opportunities. While i stood waiting on the next customer who would walk in and sit on my table so i could take, his or her order, I had a voice behind me, saying "Shola" i looked back and it was these charming young looking guy who happens to be the bar tender.

Martins was in his early 20's, young, full of life. And his eyes...... Hmmmm, full of exictment. His soft hands touched mine as he repeated himself, Shola! I've been watching you for a while now, you act and behave like a baby. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Why do you say so Martins? You walk like a teddy and talk like one. Don't worry i will put you through this new job, its obvious  this is your first time working as a waitress, You know there is lots of money in these business' if you know your way around it...... He kept talking on and on..... Hmmmm, i just found myself a friend, aside Noami. He was so nice, cool and charming.
We became best of friends that he told me alot about himself, his background, life, relationships.....
Yeah, talking about relationships......
Martin: Hmmmm i want you shola, i really want us to be an item. Yes! I have a relationship but its not in good sharp. She wants to settle down now, she wants marriage and am not ready for one. I have a lot to accomplish first, before i think of settling down. Lets say for now am single. I just want to be with you Shola.
Shola: I just gazed at him with a smile all over my face.
I have always liked martins since we became friends and gradually i was falling in love with his personality.
I taught about us been together and the rest are the stories am putting together.

The story began to fly around that i was entangled with martins and he didn't hide his affection for me from the world. He cared, that mattered at that point. Alot of people weren't happy with our relationship because they felt he deserved to be with them instead.

Days, where i had issues with the manager for no reason, days where colleagues walked up to me telling me stories about how martins tried to ask them out, touch them flirt with them, they tried severally to break us, but it never really got between our love.
You know that saying "In every rumor there is always an element of truth in them" Hell yeah its 100% real.
Noami was not happy, at least now i know. But she always pretended to my face to really care to listen to what martins did wrong or why am all so worried hurt or sad. Her advice were never to take Martins serious. Girl, don't take him serious those were her words. She was the only friend aside martins i had at that time in Othellos. I trusted her so much, i loved her. i always felt light telling her my troubles especially that of Martins.
Naomi's birthday was the next day, i needed to get something for my friend and neighbor. I told martins about it, and shared how i plan on getting her a surprise birthday cake. After work that Friday night. We all gathered to celebrate with Naomi, as i pulled out my surprise, A cake Wines and card. She was special to me. I made that clear, by giving a speech about how amazing she was and how lucky i was to have her as my friend. We sealed it with a hug, as the party dug in. 
Few days before my real first fight with martins, i was home watching a movie when i heard a knock on my door, it was a neighbor from some blocks away. Hi Shola, Hi Namesake. Come in, as i invited her in, we gisted for a while before she spilled what actually brought her to my place, "I heard you are dating a guy from where you work, Naomi told me he was just an ordinary Bar tender and that she was waiting and watching to see how far the relationship goes. I Was SHOCK! That was when i realized my own friend and neighbor Naomi was my biggest enemy.
I got this massage few days after her surprise birthday cake from me. I just wanted to pinch myself to death. Shit Happens!

Now i now see why Pamela hated me at some point, Why she picks on me for no reason. Why she sent me out of the club and asked i pull my uniform while she threw me out in the middle of the night over a bill, she said i had no right to make inquires about. Oh now i see......
Let me fill u in, Pamela and Naomi are very close friends, they run things together. Pamela was the club's manager, in her late 30's. All along i always knew she hated me, but just never knew why.
Now its all falling into place because Naomi has always wanted Martins but unfortunately he came for me.
I trusted her so much that i will allow her dance, play flirt with Martins. I have always sensed something odd about her around Martins and the way she tried so had to have my man. But i have always shoves it aside and trusted her, i must say, I trusted her.
Night after nights after a long day from work, where we gather to drink to the stress, nights where i allowed you give my man a lab dance or just leave you both while i go to sleep.
Oh my! Oh my! I was played, i am so disappointed Naomi, Now i hear you Fuck the same guy u condemned to everyone i was dating, the ordinary bar tender, could it be that you have always wanted him and it hurts you he came for me? Could it be that you both have always been fucking right under my nose? Could it be that you are just naturally a fucking slut? Oh i see now that you went for Martins who was just an ordinary bar tender.
And you Martins,  even when i noticed she was flirting with you to make you desire her, with her seductive ways, you kept telling me you can never have anything to do with an after one, you fell for the girl u rebuked and condemned to my face, saying 'You can't fuck a lady who has dropped one'. Hmmmmm, Na so life be? Am so dissapointed in you, I trusted you even when everyone adviced me not to, even when i caught you touching Mary's ass. I still trusted you. You are a terrible person. You deserve a special punishment for hurting me. You neglected me even when i told you i was pregnant, you asked me never to call you again. So these was all what you were about. You were sleeping with Naomi probably many more of them in Othellos. Hahahahahaha.....

That reminds me i remember the day Judit touched your penis in my presence! So you liked it. That was the moment i knew you never deserved me and i made my way out of that place.I hope you enjoying  yourself. Enjoy it while it last.......
Judas the Carious kissed Jesus on the cheeks before selling him out, for 30 pieces of silver. The world is filled with evil Traitors, so are my able friends Naomi X Martins.
