"There's this girl who keeps staring at us"


I looked over where Cherry was looking and saw a chubby girl taking a quick peek out of the corridors then ducking back in. Strange.


"Who's that girl Che?" I asked curiously.


"No freakin' idea Ice, but she's been there for a while now."


"She might be looking for someone."


"Yeah, Hey guys! Do any of you know who that chubby girl is? She's been taking a peek at us for some time now"


The only ones in the selling area that day was Maj, Jes, Abe, Cherry and me. Maj put his meat cleaver down and looked up. He proceeded to laugh which only added to my curiousity.


"Hey Abe! Your hippopotamus is here!"


Oh. My. God.


Abe looked up. Dropped his meat cleaver and went to the sink to wash his hands. Not once did my eyes leave him. He then unfastened his apron and walked towards the girl who had now shown herself seeing Abe was coming closer towards her. They kept a reasonable distance, but there was something in the way the girl moved that gave me the idea they were in a relationship of some sort.


Can't be. Is she Abe's...?


"Girlfrend"


"No freakin' way Maj! I thought he was single?" Cherry said in complete surprise. I could only look at them back and forth as they spoke about Abe.


"You see. He's not really into her, but I hear they've been dating for 7 months now."


"If he's not into her, why is he dating her?"


"Guys have special 'needs' if you know what I mean. As quiet as the guy is, he needs a girlfriend."


"Game over for you Ice." Cherry teased.


"What are you talking about." I spat back rather irritably as I kept looking down, fiddling with our delivery reports. It's a good thing I had my face mask on, otherwise they'll see my pouting face. All I could think about now is why Abe was taking so long. If what Maj said was right then he's not into her. What are they even talking about?


"Ooooooooooh My, Someone's jealous!!!!"


"I.Am.Not."


"You totally are. Don't give me that shit. I'm a woman myself and I smell your hidden desire towards Abe."


"The guy has a girlfriend. Why would I even "Desire" him" I said as I raised my hands and did the 'quote-unquote' gesture with my hands.


"She that Maj? She's being so defensive. You smell it too right? The smell of utter defeat."
