Can You Take This From A Friend.

It is never my intention coming to this place to write this but it's a sign of improving my writing. Although I may still make mistakes but I must write things to improve. It's a long read o. So my friend is cohabiting with me. Though he promised spending 60 days before getting his own apartment. Now, I'm kind of greedy and stingy but I don't think these traits are hereditary or should I say, it's because of lack of association or maybe because of money. Currently, my salary I no dey reason am at all. I feel shy too taking things from people or asking for help except maybe for biz What I have not been used to is failing to keep to agreements. Before I will do anything, I will always tell you what and when it intend to last that is, coming clean. My friend is the exact opposite. He's cunning. He told me he would stay for two months but have stayed for 4. Our gas got finished and I had no money to refill. It's my house and I won't tell him gas has finished. I refilled the last time before now. So he offered to refill but he will be refilling with his own bottle instead of mine. His bottle was not in the house which means he is bringing it from his woman's place. Well, I accepted and he has refilled the gas and we are using it. I travelled to Cross Rivers and stayed for a week. On my return I discovered two wraps of igbo on my table. Lol. Omo I never knew he smokes but I just wrapped it in a waterproof and kept it at a corner. I allowed two days to pass before asking about the cigarette. He said it belongs to a customer who left it on his shop. I smiled and changed the topic. After a week, I saw the remains of the cigarette in my bathroom and at my house entrance. I didn't confront and I behaved like I didn't see anything. He will take his bath, use the toilet but won't flush. Water dey inside bathroom o. I dey flush I never reason am anything. I wanted talking to him of a place to find water if there's no water in the bathroom. I later found out he knows the place and he has been getting water from there. He will prepare cooking stuff and won't throw the dirt away. I will have to do it. He does clean the house and wash my clothes when washing not all the time though. He doesnt cook regularly in the house and sometimes eats at his girlfriends place. I do sleep on empty stomach but it's not my food or money so I don't use to complain. Am a shy person and do not know how to communicate so most times, we are always keeping quiet. I hate this. He brought a girl to the house though he has been bringing them but that day, money I kept in my shorts got missing. I haven't confronted him about it because I don't know if he was the one that took it or the girl. I am a part time student so my money goes to my education. I have to borrow from apps too every month and also repay when I receive salary. He maybe thinking I have money but nada. Like this month I have to settle three loan apps and I am damn broke. This my guy is owing some money which I have asked him to repay but he is dancing around. It was tough asking him to repay because I felt he may feel am driving him away from the house but I get to ask anyways. If he refuses to pay, na hungry be that o because I can't force him before person put something for my water. All in all, I know he won't be parking out till January. And sometimes, that feeling of friendship is just there for you. Hope you enjoyed my writing. Thank you.
