I stepped into zenith bank on a very sunny Wednesday afternoon in the company of my cousin, I had just arrived from lagos to Abuja and we went straight to the bank, apparently my cousin had to withdraw a huge sum. I was wearing a transparent chiffon and lace black dress paired with a pair of brown sandals and a brown fidora hat. I had put in extra effort that day to look nice, I noticed a few heads turn when I stepped in perhaps due to the fact my cousin and I were laughing loudly about how spectre 007 was a huge flop and she made a joke about Nigerian movies, I can't remember what was so funny but we laughed loudly
The bank was abit crowed mostly with men sitting at various angles like snakes waiting to pounce and their preys one particular one gave me this look I couldn't quite place he literally raped me with his eyes peering through his dorky glasses which I am 101% sure were not prescription glasses
His weird looks were making me uncomfortable so I had to stare we engaged in a 15sec stare down with me backing down perhaps too quickly, you know when you catch someone staring and they're supposed (I guess by reflex) to look away awkwardly, not this man he kept staring like I was an alien
My cousin went to the bathroom and I had to stand in queue for her, my phone battery died and I complained loudly in frustration, this guy standing behind me chuckled and that caught my attention, I quickly turned and asked what's funny? He said I made a funny face when I look upset
Then we started talking as it seemed the line wasn't moving anytime soon, my cousin emerged and as we were about to leave he slipped his card into my hand, as we got to the parking lot this creepy pedophile pops out of nowhere.
No jokes, he was like a spirit appeared out of thin air and held my arm, I felt a rough warm hand grab me and I snapped and brushed him hand off roughly he had this irritating smirk on his face and I responded with a look of disgust ad he smiled revealing surprisingly a nice dentition
I was still taking it all in when my cousin blurted out "what do you want"? Almost in a hiss like tone. A smile crept up the corners of my lips as those words made him step back in a look laced with a little shock and again, that smirk
He said in a deep husky voice with that familiar igbo accent, "baby can I talk to you?" I laughed hysterically, and he joined in the. Laughter as well, he spent a minimum of 20minutes convincing me that he would give me the world and change my life because, Apparently I looked like someone who was lacking? He wouldnt take no for an answer and even brought out a wad of cash and gave it to me saying he would pay to have my number, I could sense my cousin already getting restless so I gave him a fake no as expected he called the number and it wasn't available I blamed it on my dead phone battery. As I was about to enter the car to leave imagine this thing asking me to hug him before I go
I couldn't help but laugh again before I hurriedly entered the car and locked the door.
This is just one experience, I have had countless number of similar experiences and I'm sure most of you have, feel free to share your experiences in the comments below
