“we're just on one plate of food Gold. When are we gonna finish up?” I asked and she looked up
“I'm already filled actually” she said
“well I'm not” I stated
“and you're going to eat till the end” I added and began to eat. She shrugged and began to eat
“the second plate is scallops cooked with white wine and mushrooms” I said
“what's with you and wine food?” she asked and I chuckled
“I'm obsessed” I said with a grin
“same way I'm obsessed with seafood” she stated and finally drank the wine
“you are? Just like Wini. That girl loves fish and all those stuff. She can trade me for a can of sardines” I said and that made her laugh so hard. I even began to laugh myself
After we finished lunch, I decided to drive her home. I was glad she didn't object a
MariGold“ahhhhhhhhhhhhh”That was Eliza's scream or squeak or squeal.Just know that if I have any complications with my ears, Eliza's responsible.“OH my God I can't believe this! Gosh!” she finally said after she finished screaming. She grabbed my arm and gawked at my palm where Wilbur wrote the number“oh my God! He really wrote this?” she asked rhetoricallyI rolled my eyes and snatched back my arm.“Mari do you know what this means? Wilbur Sanders gave you his number. His private number. OMG!”I sat beside her on the bed“so what does this mean?” I asked her“it means you're the luckiest babe alive girl. He even took you on a date. He took you to a French restaurant. Do you know what French food means to Will? Gosh” she said an
“did I startle you?” I asked out of courtesy. Of course, I had startled her.She didn't answer though“I'm sorry” I mumbled and drew her close with my hand that held hers. I used my index finger to push back the strands of hair that had covered her right eye.She looked up at my face and our eyes locked. It was obvious she wasn't comfortable and neither was I. But hers was more visible.I smiled and opened her palm then kept an envelope in it. She looked at her hand“make sure you get yourself some salmons” I said and released her.“I'll be going now” I said and shifted back. I brought out my car keys and walked to the door“make sure you lock the door when I leave” I said to her frozen self. She looked at me and before she could say a word, I opened the door and walked out, closing it and wearing my sungla
MariGoldEliza hit me on my bare thigh and it hurt so badI screamed and hit her arm. She pushed me and I pushed her back“you're the stupidest person ever!” she yelled at me“stupidest is an old fashioned word” I said and rolled my eyes“and so are you. You're so old fashioned”She stood up and began to pace about dramatically as she spoke“I force you to call Will and force you to try to start a conversation. But why can't I force you to have sense” she stood akimbo and faced me“I really don't know what I did wrong this time. I called him and spoke with him, didn't I?” I asked, trying to back myself up“yes you did. But why did you say you were going to be busy? What if he wanted to take you out? Or come and see you?”“well, that's what I was trying to
WilburI wanted to run and stop her but I didn't. It pained me that she refused.I stood there for a few more minutes before I breathed in and sat in the car. I wanted to start it but my hands were weak.Why does she keep acting that way? Is it that she still doesn't like me? Her attitude is not making me happy. I just wanted to talk with her a littleI braced up and started the car then drove to my sister's house.She was in her gym, on a yoga mat, wearing yoga pants and following a yoga class from the TV.“I need your help” I said immediately I entered the gym.She looked at me before facing the screen again“what?” she asked“how do you get a girl to like you in real life?” I asked and she immediately stopped and looked at me“what type of like?” she ask
MariGoldIt was just after noon on Friday. I finished early with my I.T class and I was heading to the administrative block to summit an assignment to one of my professors.As I crossed the street, somebody that might have been running bumped into me from behind and the next thing I heard was squealing in my ear“my eardrums!” I screamed and wriggled free from Eliza's tight grip around my waist“you won't believe it, I found us jobs already!” she squealed and jumped up“I hope the pay is good” I said and began to walk very slowly while she followed me in equal pace“forget about the pay girl. It doesn't matter in this case” she said and flipped her hair“what's the job”“we are going to be sales girls in a magazine shop! Gosh!”“magazine shop? Is t
MariGold“you know, Wilbur told me that you weren't a fan of entertainment and fashion and all these celebrity stuff so I didn't think you'd know me” she added with the bright smile“I... I have a... A friend who's really crazy about celeb... Celebrities” I stammered. I was nervous because I felt like an ant in front of a giant. I felt like nothing. From the look of her she's high bargain, not my category of people I could talk with.“here are your magazines” I stated and forwarded them towards her. She took them and exhaled“are you in a hurry to go back? I really need to speak with you” she said“about... about what ma'am?”She chuckled and dropped the mags“you really have to be free with me. I'm in your age group. Just two years older I think. You don't have to call me ma'am” s
MariGold“hi” I said amongst tussled breath. I'm so nervous, so nervous.His eyes held surprise as he looked down at my face then at my dress then back to my face“Gold” he mumbled and I smiled“I.. Well, I just.. came to say..” I stammered, not knowing what exactly to tell him about my reason for standing in front of his door by 9pm.‘‘come in”He held my hand and pulled me in then closed the door“wow” I muttered when my eyes caught sight of his living room. It's really large and beautiful. So luxurious“let me guess why you're here” he said and dropped the glass in his hand on the centre table“Winifred” he said and I laughed and clutched unto my purse“come, sit” he motioned to the cush
I feebly knocked on the door and hoped Eliza was still around. Soon the door opened and she smiled at me“hey” I said with a smile“you have to tell me everything. Everything...” she said and drew me in then closed the door“so how did it go?” she asked“lovely. Take this... It's from Will” I said and stretched the paper bag to her“Wilbur? You met with him?”“yeah” I answered and straightened my hair“gosh it's barbecue” she whispered happily“let's go inside” I dragged her hand into my room“I'm so tired”“tell me everything” Eliza said and I smiled and sat down“okay.. Well at the restaurant, we were eating seafood...”***
