The mistake he made was not asking her about her past, he had this don't ask don't tell rule and he is also a fan of whatever happened in the past should be in the past, so when he fell in love with her he didn't bother asking her about past relationships even though she wanted him to know.

Nkechi wanted to tell him about her past relationship but whenever she tries to, he would say “as long as the relationship is over then the rest is history”  and with that she would just keep mute. Truly the relationship was over but she wasn't sure if the passion between them was over, back then whenever she hears the voice of her ex, there was this sweet sensation that runs through her spine that makes her quiver and this is something she doesn’t feel with Lekan unless she was been touched by him. It wasn't as if she wasn't enjoying the sex between her and Lekan, she did because it was a whole new experience for her but she felt there was something missing, something only her ex had given her, an orgasm that would paralyze her for about thirty seconds.

Due to the nature of Lekan’s job, he had to travel a lot and that was something Nkechi was trying had to cope with even though whenever he is around he surely knows how to make it up to her yet she wasn't always happy whenever he wasn't around. Loneliness and boredom was what actually brought her and her ex together back then when she was schooling in Enugu but this is Lagos, the city that never sleeps, boredom wasn't a problem for her as she had exciting places she could go whenever her boyfriend wasn't around. She was always scared of been alone because she knows deep down in her heart that she might just head back to the lifestyle she and her ex were leaving, a lifestyle she wasn't even sure if she should let go off. She never thought that the love experience she had with her ex was going to be over immediately she left Enugu, she still had great feelings for her ex but once she came across Lekan she started to experience something new, something different from what she had with her ex and just like that she forgot the promise she made to her ex. “Don't worry as soon as I settle down in Lagos I would come visiting I promise” she said to her ex on the day she left Enugu finally.

Lekan is a typical example of a Lagos sharp guy who grew up on the streets of Surulere, attended the school with the most bragging right “Unilag”. He works as a contract staff for a telecommunications company and this provides him with the kind of cash he needed to flirt around with girls. He actually met Nkechi at a park in Enugu when he was heading back to Lagos from a job trip, they got to talk and from there they became friends and months later they started dating. Nkechi became Lekan first serious girlfriend since he broke up with his ex, two years ago, after the break up, his relationship was more about flings and fwb till he came across Nkechi. Truly Nkechi is beautiful but what made him attracted to her was beyond her beauty, it was more of a love at first sight thing.

He was very helpful in helping Nkechi adjust to life in Lagos as he was the one that helped her secure a job and also found an apartment for her, something Nkechi said she would forever appreciate. Being the first guy she came across in Lagos and considering how helpful he had been, Nkechi felt very comfortable around him even before he asked her out. The day he asked her out she wasn't expecting it, it was on a weekend, he had just arrived from one of his trips and he asked her over. On getting to his house, he asked her if she could cook something for them to eat and that she did with all pleasure. In the middle of their meal while he was telling her about his trip, there was a sudden pause and after that pause followed this sentences “throughout my trip I couldn’t stop thinking about you, couldn’t stop thinking about how nice it would be to have you as my girlfriend, I mean, of course that if you are willing to”. Her reply was short and simple “I guess you would have to find out”.

She couldn’t deny the fact that she was really enjoying this whole new love experience she had with Lekan. Her relationship with Lekan couldn’t be compared with the one she had with her ex for so many reasons, part of it was the fact that she didn't have to hide her love for Lekan the way she did with her ex. She could show public affection for him something that would look extremely weird if she had done it with her ex though she and her stayed together while she was schooling but they only made people to believe that they were roomies. The only thing she could say she missed about her ex was the sexual pleasure she made her feel even though having sex with a man is a new experience which she is enjoying but deep down in her mind she knew it didn't match the ones she had with her ex.
