young love

Chapter six

Annabelle's POV
I was in my room still recovering from the events that unfolded earlier in the day.How could I be so careless on the road?If my grandma finds out what happened,she would probably take away my phone and keep it.

Fortunately,the fruits were still in good shape and my phone hadn't been ruined.It just landed on the ground safely and I had him and Jesus to be grateful for.When grandma called,I managed to give a false excuse to her saying that the market was crowded.

I told the boy thank you and Left quickly.I felt stupid and confused at the same time.When I was home,I got into the kitchen and washed the fruits as I waited for instructions from grandma.luckily,she never asked me any questions because I could get caught and I wasn't good at lying.

Infact,I felt guilty for lying to her over the phone.I tried behaving normal so she couldn't suspect anything.And the worst part of trying to behave normal was that this boy interfered with my thoughts .The juice making process was not that hard.I managed to master all the procedure and it became more easier with blending.

Grandma's blender did a lot of magic even if it wasn't modern.I loved the blended juice of strawberry mango and pineapple.Grandma became happy when I enjoyed it.

I headed to my room to take an afternoon nap but I couldn't sleep.He was in my thoughts every time I closed or opened my eyes.I sat on my bed just thinking about him since he decided to be in my thoughts.

When I looked at him in the eye earlier,I noticed that his eyes were brown, more like honey eyes.The way he looked at me made me tense and my heart beat rapidly.He was good looking,but scary at the same time.I did not have a chance to know his name even though he was no use to me.

He made me have weird feelings that I can't explain.And he made things worse by sticking in my thoughts.I was afraid that I would go insane if I didn't talk to someone about it.And I couldn't bring myself to talk to grandma because I lied to her.So,I decided to keep quiet about it.

Mum was miles away to help me out, nonetheless I couldn't even tell her if she was here at grandma's.I decided to browse through the internet to get him out of my thoughts since I wasn't able to sleep.

Later on in the night after dinner,I did the dishes and headed to bed after telling my  grandma good night.Fortunately,I was able to act normal without him being in my thoughts.I even prayed that I drift to sleep without thinking of him.God was kind enough to hear my prayers.

I woke up the next morning as usual to begin my daily routine.I begun by taking my bath before heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.I wore a simple blue jeans and a black                 sweatshirt,I tied my hair into a ponytail and headed to the the kitchen.I made simple breakfast of pancakes and tea for grandma and myself.I also prepared a warm water bath for grandma so she could use it when she woke up.

After breakfast,I cleaned the entire house and swept the compound.Grandma assisted me in watering the flowers.At 12noon,we had our lunch and headed for the market there after.My grandma wanted to sell her tomatoes  because it was in high demand in the market.That meant she would make a lot of profits from them because she had no competitor.

She had already sorted out all her tomatoes and wrapped them into various basket.She asked me to join her so that I could help her out in selling. I was glad because I wanted to learn from her how to do business.
