Chasing Her Dreams

Chapter 10

*The kiss

*Mheerat

It's weekend already so that means no work today. I got ready in my gym wear. I signed up for gym membership last week and today is my first day. I filled my water bottle with water and headed for the gym. Great job today mheerat. It's only your first day and you've done alot. Keep it up. My coach said to me. Thank you coach. I was getting the rest of my things when I heard a familiar voice from behind me. I knew who that voice belonged to but I just wanted to be sure. Good morning afeez. Good morning mheerat I didn't know you gym here also he said. Well I just started today. Are you leaving already? Yes am going home.

Afeez ended up walking me back to my street. Thanks for walking me afeez. You're welcome mheerat. See you at work on monday. Immediately I got back home, I got out of my sweaty cloths and took a nice bath. You know I deserve some me time. Today I'll sleep and eat through out. I went through my fridge picking out almost all my junk food.

" Netflix here I come"

Nazee and Leo came over. They literally forced me to attend a wedding of one of their old time friend. I didn't plan to go for a wedding. But with these two once they want something from you, the get it by all means. So I ended up attending the wedding. It was nice actually. Really nice location and the catering service was nice. Not like other weddings you'll attend and won't get wedding rice. That's my problem with most Nigerian weddings. You attend a wedding even do well to buy aso ebi (wedding cloth) but you still won't get served. My wedding will be nothing of such. Everyone will get to eat to thier satisfaction.

I woke up with mheerat on my mind. Why do I think of her so much. Since when did I start behaving like this. Later that evening I texted her. Asking her if she would have dinner with me and she said yes.

I knocked on her doors. By the time she opened it, I was more than mesmerized. She looks stunning in her white and black dress. Her hair wrapped in a white scarf. She looks stunning. I took her to one of the fanciest restaurants in Lagos. Reservation for Owolabi I told the receptionist. Right this way sir the waiter gestured us to our table. I ordered for lasagnia while mheerat ordered for sea food.

After the dinner, we took a walk in the park. I love spending time with her. Whenever am around her I feel happy. What is this feeling? I walked her back to her apartment. Thanks for tonight afeez. I really enjoyed it. Any time mheerat. We both stood there looking at each other with nothing to say.

*Mheerat

We both stood in front of my door staring into each other's eyes. I wanted to say something but I couldn't. After what felt like hours of staring into each other's eyes, he moved. He was leaning towards me slowly. Before I could register what he was doing, I felt his lips on mine. My head was spinning. His lips felt like fireworks on mine. So soft. I couldn't think straight anymore. The only thing I could think of was kissing him back and I did. I kissed him back. At that moment everything seemed to disappear. It felt like it was just the two of us and no one else mattered.

I pulled back looking into his eyes. Am sure my face looked like I've seen a ghost the moment we parted from the kiss. Uhhmmm goodnight afeez I said to him hurrying into my house shuting the doors behind me. Wait what just happened? Did he just kiss me and I kissed him back. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed his kiss. WOW ...What does this mean?

"Am I falling for my boss"
