The day that I am dreading too much has come!!!!My so-called best friend has been smiling and feeling the good vibe.
On the other hand, I feel like I am getting ready to be executed.
"It is such a good day, It isn't ?". Don't be so sour about it. This is for your own good! Alright"I just didn't say anything at all.
Walking into a hair salon, a hairdresser with a full smile and kind welcoming. Walked us in.
"Hi, How are two beautiful ladies?" the hairdresser asked.
"We are absolutely fabulous today, I would like my friend to have a great hair makeover that would definitely shock everyone," Glenda cheerfully commented.
"Haha, Yeah, we are great and happy to be here, I am excited to get my hair done", sarcasm noted.
"Alright, Do you have any specific hairstyle that you like, Would you like to dye your hair?
Glenda nodded and showed the photo to the hairdresser.
"That's a good choice, Alright I will get my equipment and get things started then, the hairdresser then grabs all her gears and started cutting my hair off.
After a decade, just kidding!!.
Suddenly Glenda squealed; "Oh my GOsh!!! Oh my!!!, it looks good on you!! see I told ya!!".
I couldn't agree more!!! How is it, Maureen?" the hairdresser asked.
"Surprisingly I liked it, I never thought I would like this hairstyle. Thank you so much".
"You are welcome dear, see you again"
After our trip to the hair salon, we went to the clothing shops and I had to put up with changing different clothes as per my best friend.
"I'm so hungry and I think we should stop", I tried to hold Glenda's hand as she keeps going in and out of the boutiques.
"Alright, Geezz You are worst than my previous boyfriends. They all complain too much".
I laughed, "Who wouldn't complain you become an insane person when you go shopping"
"Hmmph!!!, Let's go to the restaurant over there", she pointed out the restaurant just across from us.
As we walked in some people are staring at us, what's wrong with these people? We sat down right away when we saw an empty table.
Glenda nudges me on the hand; "Hey, have you seen those people over there? Six o'clock, just behind you! Yaahh! Don't look, you are being too obvious".
I didn't hesitate to look at the people sitting behind us! Which I regretted because they were all blokes.
"The guy was actually looking at you since we walked in, I think he is interested in you!"
"I don't think so, Let's just eat and go home, You still have to take a picture of me and upload it to your social media account".
We continued eating when out of the blue, Glenda kicked my shin, "What now?"
"Oh my!!, the guy from our next table is standing up and heading towards us"
"Geez, he probably just heading home", but I was wrong when the guy comes up to us.
"Hi, Sorry to interrupt your lunch but I have been checking out on you guys, I .. I'm sorry that sounded creepy.
I answered; "yeah, it is creepy"
"Hahaha, my friend is just kidding", please continue".
The guy continued; " I was going to ask if you would like go to a café after for a coffee?
"You two can go, I will just wait for you here Glenda", I interjected
But the man insisted that I should go too.
I was cursing my friend in my head, and whispering to her ear, " Why are we tagging along with a stranger?"
"Look, just go with the flow " she whispered back.
We ended up having a coffee and these two just chatting away.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom when suddenly I bumped into a brick wall or should I say a hard chest!!
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you! Oh Gosh", I keep apologising while I was holding my nose, it hurts.
"It's okay, It was my fault, I was not actually looking where I was going", the stranger said.
I looked at the guy after I recovered from pain in my nose and made eye contact with him.
I feel like there was a shock wave that went through my heart. Weird.
Oh, dear!!!, I never thought I would feel like a teenager ogling at this man.
My thoughts got cut off when the stranger waves his hands at me and asked, "Hey are you okay? are you hurt somewhere?. You must have hit your nose hard. It looks red".
Feeling embarrassed, I avoided his gaze and said,
"No, I'm alright, I... I ..ahm really need to go to the toilet, I'm sorry again", then run off quickly to the toilet room.
"What the hell? Why I am acting strange?"
After I used the toilet, I wash my hands and looked up to the mirror. My face looks flush.
I gently splash my face with water to alleviate the redness on my face. I quickly go back to our table and these two are still engrossed, talking to each other.
"I'm sorry but I think we should go home", I directly told Glenda.
"Oh right, It was nice meeting you and I had fun chatting with you", Glenda told John while smiling happily.
"Likewise, Glenda" Can I get your number just you know, we can hang out some other time when you are not busy", the guy expectantly asked my friend which I think she would prefer to stay here than go home.
"Sure, I ... I will see you around then",
Glenda is squealing like a little girl. I can't help but smile Must be nice to feel that kind of feeling. The guy that I bumped into suddenly pops into my head.
"Hey, What's wrong, you are awfully quite? Sorry about earlier I got totally distracted by John"
"Its not unusual that you don't get preoccupied by a guy anyway!"
"Hahaha, lets just go home and finish our deal"
"What deal?", I was hoping Glenda completely forgot about it but I guess not.
I love my best friend however not today
