Ariel was starting work today and Sara was so delighted and happy for her friend, although she had not been lucky or fruitful in her own job search, she was still elated. "Sara does this t-shirt match my jeans?" Ariel asked and Sara laughed. "My dear, you are going to work and not to some fashion parade, where everyone is going bro compliment your outfit or vice versa, just wear anything that fits you and off you go, and have you also forgotten that you are going to change into the store's uniform, or wait are you trying to impress someone?" Sara asked her friend winking at her suggestively. "Oh please, cut the crap, can't a girl just look good for once ehhhh." Ariel replied chuckling loudly. Sara thanked God for the day the she met Ariel, she did not know how she would have gone this far without her lovely friend by her side. "Whatever, meanwhile there's something you'll do for

"Hello, good evening Christian." Christian checked his phone screen twice to confirm if it was Sara at the other end of the line, cause he could recognize her voice but not the number. "Hello love." he replied, he had been patiently waiting for her call since he had sent her back a note through Ariel earlier today. "Hey, I got your note, Ariel delivered it to me safe and soundly." she said, chuckling silently. "Hmmmmmmmn, so how was your day, meanwhile whose number is this, your parents, brother's or Ariel's own?" he asked, he wanted to save the contact, so he could call her with this one when her main line didn't go through. She became silent for a little while, he thought if network or service had started fucking them up again. "Hello, Sara love, are you there." he asked quietly. "Uhmmmmm, Sorry you were saying.....?" she trailed of aga

"Ariel is this makeup not too much." Sara turned to look at her friend who was staring at her, like she couldn't recognize the face she was seeing. "Babe you look stunning, I'm sure when Christian sees you, he wouldn't be able to recognize you any more." Ariel said. Today was the D-Day, the day of the date, with the help of Ariel, she had rented a beautiful light pink cocktail dress from a nearby boutique across the shelter's street, and she was now putting on her make up. Sara was nervous, this was the first time she was going on a date with someone, she had not been approached before, talk more of being asked out for a date. "Sara, stop being nervous, I can see it written all over your face, you will be fine , it's just a simple date where you two will get to know more about each other, wine and dine and have lots of fun okay, so there is nothing to be worried about okay. Ariel said and Sara was as

The waiter brought their meal for the night, Sara had ordered some grilled chicken, mushrooms, rigatoni, roasted pepper cream alongside pasta dipped in red tomato sauce, Christian had chosen the same with her and they had ordered a bottle of wine.  Sara looked around her, the Italian restaurant Christian had brought her to was a nice one, the candle lit atmosphere making everywhere look enchanting, lovers talking, enjoying their meal, taking pictures, kissing, and doing all sort of things the place was definitely a couple's favorite. With the meal placed before her, she didn't know where to start from. The food she had ordered was much, and she was embarrassed at not being able to finish the meal. "What's wrong Sara?" he asked her, and she nodded her head indicating nothing was wrong but he persisted. "Tell me the matter miss, as soon as the waiter brought the dishes out, your face fell, don't y

"So what do you want to know about me?" asked Christian.  "I want to know everything about you, your parents too, your siblings, how you work in a construction site and at the store at the same time, just simple basic things about you also the place you school, and other important stuffs I guess." Sara said feeling more relaxed now that she had told him everything about her and he had not condemned or rejected her. Ed Sheeran's perfect kept playing in the background of the restaurant making the atmosphere more romantic, friendly and soothing. Christian sipped more of his wine and then placed the glass on the dinner table, carefully wiping his lips with the napkin placed for them, he cleared his throat and said- "I'll surely tell you everything about myself okay. Let's not rush into all these talks headfirst, so let me tell you about my family right, that's important for you to know."&nbs
