FATE

19 - Date???

"Yes, I was having lunch with my family," I answered climbing the stairs.

I was on a call with Lemuel.

"Ok, I am just coming back from lunch at my parents place."

"Okay, so why were you calling?"

I entered into my room and rushed to the dressing table.

"Charlie was saying he'll be living tommorrow."

Hell yeah, I knew. I was the first to get those kind of information.

"Yh, I know." I boast.

"Ok."

There was silence. For a really long moment.

What is wrong with the both of us?

Why are we in denial?

He broke it.

He was the first to break to it.

"You know I was thinking you and me we could hang out."

He was voice was still.

Silence

"You know, that dinner we were supposed to have before that fight at the beach."

Yes, that dinner...

God!

I knew it would come to this.

Was I ready? Do I want this? Could I do this?

"Okay," I swallowed hard.

"What time?" I quirked my brows and took a look at the mirror.

"Is that a yes?" There was a rise in his voice, laced with excitement.

I chuckled. "Yes Mr man, that's a yes." I cooed.

"Thank you so much Lilly, thank you."

"See you later. "

And I cut the call on him.

I was now trying to play hard to get.

He calls me back, I reject his call.

He calls me again, I reject the call again.

He calls me again.

Ah! Ah!

Bros, is it by force? I don't wanna talk to you. Sebi I don say yes.

He doesn't call again.

Loser, I can't believe he gave up.

I glance at myself in the mirror again and I realised what just happened.

I just said yes to Lemuel.

This was a really big deal.

I don't know if I should and could be doing this.

Was this a date...

If yes, I better start looking for something to wear.

But, come to think of it; his way of asking me out was lame.

He was even stuttering.

Wait! Was he scared?

No way.

That bold and confident guy that steals the hearts of women. I mean, women trip for him.

It's one thing to be handsome and it's another to be sexy and rich.

And what about me, my ego, my rules and my confidence.

I wasn't even sure where I stood.
