MERCHANT SERIES

Her

Ayan's POV

I have been sitting here with my siblings waiting for two of their friends before we can buy the tickets.Therefore i order KFC for everyone while we waited.

Suddenly Priya stands up and rushes towards two ladies coming our way.One was on the lean side but with curves and yet before i could look at the other,she was taken away by Priya only give me a back view of natural curves.intresting..

During the time that Priya's gone,I have found out that the two ladies i saw are kasheila and the infamous Cia..It's a beautiful name really and,i like the way it rolls of my tongue.

I noticed when i asked about her that Mukuka became offensive,to others they wouldn't be able to pick up the changes in his posture or voice,but damn am a psychologist,mathematician and business man.Traits that would make you notice even the  most little things.Am guessing he likes her and has yet to tell her or realise.

I start to tell mukuka"Don't worry MC she's all..."before i could finish i hear raw laughter and I begin to look for where its coming from.

Am looking at priya and the person she's with,too shocked to formulate words.I watch them till they both sit down and try to control their giggles while greeting everyone."Cia" i whisper her name and suddenly she's look at me..

Wait did she hear me,no it can't be,it was just a whisper.Her eyes are so rich and Amber,her face has little makeup with acne here and there yet she choose to leave it,unlike most people who would cover it up under thick layers of makeup.Beautiful.She breaks eye contact to quickly that has left me wondering if something's wrong because i still want to look into her eyes,hear her voice and know her.

What is she looking at under the table? i can't see clearly from here.

"Priya i saved you some food,come eat from here".I tell my sister and just like that She's switching places without questions.During my whole exchange with Priya,I notice that Cia is still looking under the table.

"Are you ok?" i ask her and see her shiver as she looks at me.Then she looks away.Its to soon,I wanna see more of her eyes.

I then see her looking around like she's searching for someone,till her eyes settle on Priya for a while,before looking back down again.

I find it very interesting that my voice caused her to shiver but what i don't like,is her looking away from me.Its making me feel left out,So i ask her again.

"Cia,are you OK?"she's still looking down.

I look around the table and notice that only Mukuka and Park are paying attention to us.I look at Cia and ask once again.

" look at me,Am i really that ugly that you hide your eyes from me"i ask.

"Is he talking to me"she suddenly says.

That voice.Wanting to here more of it,i begin to tease her.

"Yes am talking to you",i tell her.

She looks at me startled.Its then i notice she has lazy eyes hidden behind her glasses,wow those make her look more beautiful.

"Oh my gosh i said that out loud"she says.almost making me laugh.

" Yes you did and that too", I tell her.

"Oh am gonna shut up now" she says though i think it was more of her saying it inside instead of out loud,Before she suddenly shuts her mouth realising her,mistake.Suddenly her eyes widen in horror making her look so cute that i couldn't help but giggle.

"Did he just giggle"she speaks out loud again.

"I sure did" i tell her.

Only for her to create a look of complete horror that had me laughing honestly for the first time in 3years,worse when she turned her face from me only to face.... Mukuka...

The look he gave me had me stop mid-laugh to see everyone at our table looking at me with shocked expressions..all but Mukuka and Park who were looking at me with emotions that i can't quiet place.

Cia's POV

"Did he just laugh",i hear priya say

"a real genuine laugh"she chippers

"how?"she asks looking at me.

"Priya what are you talking about? ",i ask her.

"My brother hasn't laughed like that in over 3 years years"she tells me.

"Boza,how can a person stay 3 years without laughing"i question her.

"He did laugh but never genuinely not since..."

"Priya"Park suddenly calls out.

That's when i notice that the gorgeous man left the table and is currently heading towards the elevator with Mukuka in toll.What's going on?

Mukuka's POV

Since the first time i saw her,i have been captivated by her. I Plan to know more about her and today after the movies seems like a good time to talk so that i can tell her everything.

That plan when out the window when i saw Ayan making her blush.So as not to alert the others,i use sign language go tell Ayan that we need to talk and now.So as Cia and priya converse,Ayan and i head for the elevator.

We go up to the top floor.When elevator opens we head to the packing lot in silence.

"What are your intentions with Cia?" I ask him.

"What are you talking about?".Ayan answers.
.
"I want you to know that if you want Cia you will have to go through me."I tell him.

"Look mukuka you are not her guardian or her relative so you can't tell me what to do and besides am not,in anyway interested in any woman.Women are conniving,cheats and gold diggers just like Lilith".Ayan tells me fiercely.

"You say that now,but Cia is not just any woman." I tell him.

"You've got to move on man but not with Cia.I won't allow you to break her heart."i say.

"Am not looking to."he replies.

We heard back to find everyone already has tickets.Funny thing is,Ayan and Cia will sit next to each other.

We go into the theatre to watch black widow,afterwards we all go out for an early dinner.Its during dinner that Park calls me out.

Park's POV

It seems mukuku and i have the same idea.So i wait till during dinner to talk to mukuka.

"What are your takes on what happened this afternoon?"i ask him.

"A seed has been sown,but it won't grow on its own.It will need nourishing and resistance to bloom to its full form".answers mukuka.

"Good,nourishing"i hold out my hand.

"Resistances" He shakes mine.

And so it begins....
