This year was promising to be a good one. I had just landed a new job, moved to a newer and bigger apartment and most importantly, I had finally healed from a toxic relationship. It took months of crying but one day, I woke up and I didn’t feel sad or hopeless anymore. I felt like myself. I smiled at people when they passed me and it wasn’t a fake smile anymore. It was a genuine one. I hadn’t been that happy in a while but after an encounter with a 40-year-old player, I nearly went back to the place I was.
I wasn’t really looking for a date but running into an old flame sparked my interest. Mike and I went way back. I knew him from back in the day when I was a campus girl looking for a rich man to take me on dates and pay for my upkeep. Mike was one of my connections on a sugar daddy website but we ended up having a stronger relationship after meeting in person. It didn’t feel like a sugar daddy relationship. He took me on dates, told me about his family and even introduced me to his friends. I truly felt like I was his girlfriend and that the money he gave me was a normal thing other boyfriends who had the means did.
Additionally, Mike wasn’t old or out of shape like most men I had met on the site. He was good-looking and young enough.
“You don’t look like the guys I’ve met before,” I commented when we met in person.
“Is that a compliment?” He asked.
“It is. You’re very good-looking. However, I don’t know whether you can afford my allowance.”
He laughed and then handed me a gift bag.
“This is for you.”
There was a jewellery box inside which I opened and saw the most beautiful bracelet I had ever seen.
“Oh my God, this is beautiful,” I said.
“Do you still doubt that I can afford your allowance?”
I chuckled because I felt silly about what I had said.
That date sealed the deal for me. No one had ever bought me a gift yet there were men that I had been seeing for more than a year. I cut off all other guys that I had been seeing and started spending more time with Mike. I even used to stay at his place over the weekend and entertain his friends like I was his girlfriend.
Don’t get me started on his friends. They only fueled my delusion. Every time I saw them they would call me his wife and insist that Mike had found the one. I would smile from ear to ear knowing that I was going to be the wife of a rich man. From looking for sugar daddies on websites to being a wife, it was like a soap opera.
I played the role of his girlfriend for more than a year with no incident. Little did I know, Mike was a certified player. He had more than 5 girls that he was talking to yet I had no idea. He used to organize parties and invite them all yet I had no idea that they were all his side chicks. I ended things with him though a part of me was tempted to give him another chance.
Years later, our worlds collided again during an event and we couldn’t resist talking to each other.
“You look amazing.” He commented.
I did look amazing. I was both financially and emotionally stable and it showed.
“Thanks. You look good too.”
Mike hadn’t changed much. He still dressed the same, had the same haircut and hadn’t aged at all. For a 40-year-old, he looked phenomenal.
We talked for a while and by the end of the night, we had planned a date. I can’t explain why but seeing Mike made me feel like I was ready to get back into the dating scene. No one had managed to do that for over a year since I got out of my toxic relationship.
Of course, I still remembered that he was a player but I thought that he had changed. After all, it had been almost 10 years and he was in his 40s. It would be a shame if he was still a player in his old age.
We picked things up from where we had left off. However, things were a little different than before. Mike was more interested in getting married. Age must have caught up with him.
“I’m going to make you my wife.” He said while we were on a date.
“You’re such a liar,” I called him out.
“I’m being serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
I laughed knowing that he was playing games but he told me that he would marry me so many times that I began to believe him. Hearing those words was like music to my ears. Soon enough, I was back playing the role of his girlfriend yet he hadn’t made any effort to make things official.
Just after moving back in with Mike, I found out that he still had side chicks. We had been dating for four months by that time so he had plenty of time to cut off any girls he had in his life. However, he didn’t want to let go of his old life yet he wanted to have a wife.
Despite Mike checking many of my boxes, I simply couldn’t look past his player behaviour, especially after coming from a toxic relationship. There were so many chances for me to date guys that were far better than Mike. Yet, I turned them down because I felt like I hadn’t fully healed. I wasn’t going to put myself in another situation where I could end up heartbroken.
Besides, I knew my relationship with Mike wouldn’t end in marriage. Mike wasn’t the marriage type and I had to accept that and move on. So, I finally put an end to the relationship for good.
