Knowing girls like Michelle has brought a lot of problems in my relationships. You know, the type of girl that doesn’t take no for an answer. Michelle has been a constant bug in my life. I enjoy her company as a friend but she knows very well that I have never had any desire to make her my girlfriend. Still, she didn’t take my no for an answer.

I kept jumping from one relationship to another because Michelle kept coming in between me and my girlfriends. However, when I met Sheila, I was determined to make it work. She was my dream girl and I wasn’t ready to lose her. Thankfully, she felt the same way about me and she wasn’t a pushover either.

She met Michelle once while we were dating and instantly didn’t get along with her. Unlike other girls that I had introduced her to, Michelle wanted to prove that she knew me more than she did. Though my girlfriend was too smart to take the bait, she got irritated by the interaction and vowed to never be in the same room as Michelle.

“What’s wrong with your friend?” She asked.

“Don’t mind her. She’s like that.”

“Why do you keep such a friend?”

“She’s persistent. She doesn’t take no for an answer.”

“If you keep in touch with her, I can’t be your girlfriend. I don’t want to be associated with such people.”

“I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.” I assured her.

However, Sheila had other plans of her own. We had been dating for almost four months now and Michelle hadn’t stopped calling and texting me repeatedly. No matter what I said, she still called me persistently. It got to a point that I started to insult her hoping she would have a bit of pride and dignity to cut ties with me. It never worked. She kept insisting and ignoring my answer.

However, whenever Sheila talked to her, she seemed to lay off me for a while. Sheila decided that she would be the one dealing with the bug that was trying to interfere with our life. When she felt like she was losing grip, she started threatening me.

“If you stop talking to me, I’ll expose you online.” She said over the phone.

“What are you talking about?”

“You know I helped you when you were broke. I’ll say you’re a swindler.”

She had sent me Ksh 2,000 one time when I was low on cash and I gave the money her back with a little extra. This is why you shouldn’t take any money from women, especially women like Michelle.

“I already paid you. Besides, I don’t care about social media. I don’t use it.”

When the threats didn’t work, she decided to guilt trip me.

“Remember when I saw your ex with another man?” She asked

“Yes, and I’m thankful that you told me about it but that was one year ago and I’ve already moved on.”

“Why don’t you like me? Am I not pretty enough for you?”

I was dumbfounded. I’ve never been interested in Michelle like that and her question took me by surprise.

“I know you like light skin thick girls like Sheila but I’ve been your ride-or-die for years. She can’t love you the way I love you.”

Though I never had any romantic feelings for Michelle, I admit to flirting with her at a time when I had no other options. That might have given her the impression that she was my type and now she can’t take no for an answer.

Sheila, on the other hand, was a drop-dead gorgeous girl with an amazing figure and a personality to match. She was also a boss which made me admire her a lot. She held herself to a high standard and didn’t take any nonsense especially when it came to the people and things she loved.

I’d be a fool if I lost her since she is the best woman I’ve ever dated. I was even willing to cut off all the people that she didn’t get along with so I could keep her. I managed to get rid of most of them but Michelle was proving to be a tough one to shake off.

“What if you block her?” Sheila asked.

We were getting desperate to find a solution.

“She knows where I live. She’ll just come and disturb me here.”

“We’re running out of options. We have to do something.” My girlfriend said.

I could see that she was getting exhausted by the constant calls and texts. We couldn’t even enjoy our relationship anymore. We fought about Michelle all the time which was taking a toll on our relationship.

However, I couldn’t let Michelle get what she wanted. I had to get rid of her even if it meant sacrificing my relationship.

“What if we took a break? I can see that this is affecting you and it’s not healthy to live like this.” I suggested to Sheila but she didn’t take it as well as I hoped.

“So, you’re willing to give up our relationship for that woman.”

“It’s not for her. It’s for you. She won’t leave me alone as long as you’re in the picture. At least, let me try and hear her out then when she sees that I have no interest in her, she’ll move on.”

“That will never work. Besides, what will I tell my friends? That I lost my man to a woman who can’t even afford 1000 shillings to do her nails.”

I tried to explain to her but she couldn’t understand. However, I knew this was the only way I could get rid of Michelle. After we broke up, I asked Michelle out so I could hear her out. She finally got the answer she wanted. As I suspected, she wanted us to date and I decided to play along. That very same day she followed me to my house for some alone time after dinner. While we were chatting, I heard a knock on my door. It was Sheila and a group of girls. They all stormed in and went straight for Michelle who was trying to leave.

“You thought you could get rid of me that easily?” She asked her as the other girls held her down.

“If I ever see you again, I’ll cut off these little fingers you use to harass my man with one by one. And you,” she said pointing at me, “you’re lucky I like you. You have a lot of begging to do before I get back with you.”

Until this day, I’m still trying to win Sheila back. However, I’m happy that she was able to get rid of Michelle. I haven’t heard from her since that day and I hope to never hear from her again.
