Thetypicallagosgirl Series

This week has been so fair to me with fares. i get lifts and other times get my bus fare paid by strangers without asking, this is unusual as it has been occurring consistently for 4 days now.Today,i took a bus from Oshodi to Ikeja with my boyfriend who sat right in front on the first row of the bus seats.he wouldn't say anything to me as we had just gone through an argument  before entering the bus about a guy who had earlier paid my bus fare from Gbagada to Oshodi. without knowing it,a guy by the drivers seat paid my fare and another guy offered to pay my fare too but the conductor revealed that the guy by the driver's seat already paid. 'Bae the boyfriend' became furious as he paid for himself and we alighted but not without saying thank you to the kind guy with a smile, 'Bae the boyfriend' filled with more fury crossed over to the opposite direction, picked a bus back to where we came from and sent me a text that read ''go alone to the cinema and make sure you get your fare paid by more men and a free movie ticket too'' quickly touching my pocket, i realized i had no money as his bus sped off.  will i be lucky to get my fare paid for this time? somebody help,the night is crawling in and my feet hurts from standing 2 hours already.
