Christmas was only like what, 10 days away and I was so happy that I get to spend it with my daughter but with Joel here this time. For some reason best known to Chloe, she called Korra from main campus telling her to take over her babysitting duties today.

Any way I just needed someone to babysit her for the evening. It's not like we were going that far.  The last time Korra had been here, she was  keeping Serenity company and I was glad about that, It's just, I was not so confident about her babysitting skills. 

last I hear she drank so much she reeked of alcohol. And the minute serenity was lost in her world of toy   she immediately got busy with my small and moderate show glass of wine.  I was really worried that day, is it the festivity, the Christmas period that is making her drink so much or there is more to the story. But this was 3days ago.

Right now I was busy applying very light make up because I didn't want to be caught un-fresh — Joel walked in with a towel tied around his waist and his body dripping of water. I looked away immediately not daring to look him in the eye through the mirror. I didn't want to be tempted or have to cancel my outing. In a matter of minute we were done and all dressed up in matching joggers and sweatshirt. I was still busy checking myself out in the mirror when Joel tapped me and asked

"Ummm Miss, I am sorry to bother you but I got to ask are we on the road to Damascus?" well that was weird, did I hear him say Damascus or am I hearing things now? Just to be sure I asked responded saying

"Huh? Damascus? Or did I mishear you?" he simply smirked at me stroking his chin before saying "I'm just asking, are we on the road to Damascus? ...Because your beauty is blinding!" I looked at him shrugging to hide my blush. Did he just, gawd abeg, I couldn't process my thoughts as all I could think about was that pickup line. Finally a smile broke on my face as I began to smack him with a brush.

"Gawd abegi! Seriously Joel?" I was shocked and he only laughed at my reaction saying "I'll bet you didn't see that coming huh". My expression mirrored a mocking grimace because I was still trying to hide my blush. When he wouldn't stop laughing I began chasing him around our sitting room trying to catch him and make him stop but that didn't help as Serenity only joined in the laughter as she watched us chase each other around.
