“Wow Miss Candice, wow,’
he said that whilst clapping his hands and all eyes in the coffee shop were on them.
"I have never had such expression in my life, you are so intelligent and…my goodness I cant say what I would like to say but all I know is that you are a one in a million Candice! My goodness!
Well....I had been sent by my editorial team to conduct an interview with you by asking various question but you know what, let them go to hell with that, because this was our interview and guess what? Its done! You got the job”!
“ What! Oh my God"!
She screamed like nobody’s business, knelt down and thanked God in heaven, she just said ...
Just as she was typing her columns in the house, she felt cramps around her stomach, it was so painful in a way that nobody could understand. She knelt down on the tiled floor, squeezing it, trying to ease the pain but it got worser. She didn't know who to call, or text, tried to reach for her phone which was on top of the coffee table until she succeeded. Worse thing is it had a password and it took longer to unlock it since she was shaking. She pulled up the phone to her ears and called her friends but their phones weren't picked up, and again she wanted to call Wisdom but later decided No! She can't. She scrolled the contacts in her phone thrice then she remembered that she had someone's number,
Fortunately for her everything went well, the great hospitality she received was warm and that warmed her heart in an unimaginable way. She learnt all the ropes but not all of them. She learn Italian cuisine, Chinese cuisine and of course the western food. How to cut and chop veggies and how to peel seafood and it looked like hard work to her when it was but that was nothing compared to what she had to do the next day. Her Hardest part was chopping lots of countless onions... She almost dropped down like a young kid sighting a ghost because of that, but good thing is she told herself that she was going to get used to it like everybody did, like everybody does.
“Wow! My goodness you shouldn't have though, thank you so much, I can't thank you enough, but since am on lunch, we can eat together, well that's if you don't mind”.“ Of course I don't”. They went to the nearest place where they could just sit.……………………………All she ever wanted was to make a great impression to him, well, maybe a first great impression. Candice liked the guy so great for her to go through all the trouble. She wasn’t a good cook, she knew that, she was a 4 out of 10 with average, so it wasn’t good at all”.
“Ahhhh! She wanted to let it continue ringing so that it could not look like she was expecting it… hi, I mean hello sir...“how are you mam"?“I am well sir and how are you there”? She was on an up and down, couldn’t sit..“I don’t have much choice but to be on the seventh heaven since Mrs. me made my day” .She couldn’t stop smiling and the reference made her laugh.“Well, that’s great because Mrs. him is also excited today, she wishes to rewind the moment”.T
“Well for me its waking up beside you and watch the sun rise on your face, to know that I can say ‘I love you in any given time or place’, I love you Candice, I know you may think am playing games right now maybe because we just started but it’s not about that, I loved you from the start”.She looked at him straight in his eyes for some time, with no smile but glasses in her eyes, and then hugged her like she wasn’t willing to let him go… “I love you my man, I love you so much”, and she was crying.“I understand babe, but may you please promise that it will forever stay this way, please”. He was looking at her with a sorry face, like a guy pleading
She wasn’t surprised of her laziness, all of the girls were lazy, they forced themselves, and the sleeping thing she had, it was an inheritance, and they all loved sleeping such that they never minded waking up at around eleven or twelve. Their laziness had made them plan to buy bread every evenings, buying it for the day after because of the heat temperatures…she missed all of those moments. A weekend was the only thing she had before she had to start new work, in a new place, with new people, new boss, new partner, new colleagues and a new environment. A part of her wanted to spend most of the time left with her new man, but unfortunately he had work to do, all day long and spending time with him would be evenings and a night, that’s it!
“Hey, my woman, I hope am not interrupting your peacefulness, and invading your privacy”. He had two triple decker pizzas that he put them on the coffee table and gave her an intense hug, that went along with a kiss that was pure and out of love. She felt good about it, but she felt like not stopping. “Mrs. you is fine sir, now that she has seen you, she’s great"! Her smile was irresistible, her heart beat even faster because she didn’t know how to react or what to say. For goodness sake she was on a towel, that was being naked but then she found a way to excuse herself. “Hey! Make yourself at home whilst I make something for us to
What they both had was so beautiful, in a way that no writer can express.It really wasn’t easy to sleep, she was surprised of the action that had just took place, for guy to be in the same house with his girlfriend and not even get tempted to lay her off to bed, let alone sharing the same bed at night, doing nothing innocently sleeping, and strange thing to was that he was in a deep sleep, that’s when she thought to herself that “PEOPLE AREN’T THE SAME”. Candice drew herself closer to him, not because she had an intention or what but she felt loved and safe, she felt complete. Max woke up earlier than her, maybe because she had slept late, he had prepared an amazing bubble bath for her since he had already took it.
