Of all the ridiculous things that have ever happened to me in a relationship, tracking my period takes first place. I don’t even know how this man found out how my period cycle was but it was evident that if a man really wanted to put in effort, he would. Unfortunately, he put in the wrong kind of effort which only made me think that he would go to other extremes if I continued to entertain him.
I always knew there was something off about Brian. On the surface, he came off as a normal guy though he was a bit too quiet. The first time I looked into his eyes I saw something dark and sinister. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and that man had a dark soul. Still, I thought I was reading too much into it so I decided to give him a chance but keep my distance at the same time.
What he lacked in warmth, he made up for in charm. Brian was a charmer. He may not have talked much but when he did, he knew the right things to say. He also had a stare that would either send shivers down your spine or make you melt in a puddle. For me, I melted every time he looked at me.
“You look beautiful as always.” He said while escorting me to my Uber after our date.
“Thanks,” I said and blushed.
“Let me know when you get home.”
I called him immediately after getting home and we talked for hours before realizing how late it was.
“Can we meet next weekend?” He requested.
“Sure.”
“We can go watch a movie.”
We continued talking for another hour about our favourite movies before saying goodnight and hanging up.
Apart from talking daily, we met regularly. Every time we met was memorable. As I said, Brian was charming so everything he did was special. A movie date wasn’t simply a movie date.
We would meet at the parking lot, walk by the shops in the malls as we window shopped and talked about our life then we’d make our way to the ice cream shop, enjoy an ice cream and head to the movie theatre. How can anyone forget such a date? Even though it was simple, it was thoughtful.
Still, I had my reservations about Brian. During one of our dates, he asked me a question that made me uncomfortable and affirmed why I had doubts about him.
“What is your period like?” He asked.
I stared at him and he looked back at me with his deathly stare.
“Why do you want to know?” I answered.
“I’m just curious.”
“I don’t feel comfortable talking about my period on a date.”
“Don’t worry about it. I have a sister. I know how it goes.”
“Then why are you asking me about it?”
“I just want to know if your period is regular or not.”
“That’s none of your business.”
“What if we get married?”
Again, his question caught me off guard. He noticed that I was uncomfortable and burst out laughing. It looked like a fake laugh but at least he tried to break the tension. I chuckled to let him know that I was okay and then we changed the subject. That was the first and last time he asked me about my period.
In a strange twist of fate, Brian and I ended up dating briefly. I must have been going through a rough patch and decided to give him a chance. That was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. It was like he was just waiting to be my boyfriend.
The first thing he did was update his relationship status on social media. He also insisted that I tag him in every photo that he takes. I had no issue doing it since I wasn’t looking for another man. I was satisfied with him but he seemed to think that I was going to cheat on him.
The first time we were intimate, he used protection but the next time, he didn’t. After that night, he called to ask if I was safe.
“I hope we’ll be good.” He said over the phone.
“What do you mean?”
“Are you safe?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry about that.”
Since he was so concerned, I notified him when I got my period so he wouldn’t worry about the issue anymore. That must be how he found out about my cycle. Things were pretty normal though Brian was a bit dodgy. I had to ask for permission to go to his place and at times he would say no.
“I’m hanging out with my friends. We’re going to be watching the game and I know you don’t like football.” He explained.
I started feeling like a side chick yet I was his girlfriend. We would even go for days without talking to each other yet he would call and text me every day before we started dating. I knew it was a normal thing but I didn’t expect Brian to do it to me after he pursued me relentlessly.
Since he was giving me the cold shoulder, I decided to reciprocate the treatment. He didn’t seem to care much. However, I noticed that he would call me on a particular day.
I usually check my period calendar religiously because I don’t want to have any surprises so I always know my exact ovulation day.
The first time he called me, I thought he seemed strange but didn’t think too much about it.
“What are you doing?” He asked.
“Nothing. I’m just at home.”
“Are you planning on going out?” He asked.
“Not really. Do you want to come over?”
“No. I’m just checking up on you.”
For the next four months, he would call me on my ovulation day yet he would go for a week without talking to me. I noticed what was happening after the second time he called but I didn’t know how to confront him without sounding like I was losing my mind.
When he did it the fourth time, I knew that Brian had a hidden agenda. I didn’t find out what he was planning on doing with me during my ovulation day. Maybe he just wanted to know the day that I was most fertile so he could avoid any accidents or he wanted to make sure I wasn’t with another man during that period.
Either way, it was unusual and I wasn’t sticking around to find out why he always called me on my ovulation day. I ghosted him for a month and he stopped trying to reach me.
