I walked into the bakery with a confused look on my face, my head snapped around to check if I was standing inside my bakery. The place had been decorated with roses, hearts and all that cheeky stuff .
My eyes quickly caught the person who was responsible for this, she was sitting behind the counter with a huge grin on her face.
"What's this", I look around
"You like?", she beamed
"No", I placed my bag on the counter and hopped on a chair beside her
"Well am putting my foot down for this one", she crosses her arms on her chest
"Whatever", I roll my eyes
"So tell me how your date went", she turned to me. "Am sure it was great"
"No it wasn't", I rest my head on the table. I was beginning to have a headache
"He looked like a really nice dude"
"Looks can be deceiving, he is such a fetish dude. Imagine him wanting to read my palm to see if we I was perfect match for him",
Roland was a nice guy but the moment he asked to look at my palm and started checking the planet position, he turned me off. I have nothing against astrology and all that stuff but it's not my thing, I don't think stars and planets would be able to determine the compatibility of two people.
Liv stood up and hugged me from behind. "Am sure we would find you another guy", she said leaving a small peck on my head
"That enough Liv, I would just tell my mom I can't bring anyone home. Not like it's the first time ", I sighed
I think I should call her and let her know so she won't be to disappointed when I get home. Besides it's only a few days to valentine
The phone rang for a few seconds before I heard her voice on the other side
"Hello mum", I greeted
"Hello Ava, how are you and the bakery?", she asked All together
"Fine fine", I reply her
"Good, am getting ready for the love feast. I already told everyone this year would be special because you are coming home with someone special", she said enthusiastically. I bet there was a huge grin plastered on her face
"Why would you do that mum?"
"Why? They make fun of you each year, I was just letting them know they wouldn't have a chance to do that again", she said giddily
The sounded so excited and I couldn't bring myself to ruin her happiness, I just couldn't do it
"Okay mum, see you soon", I hung up
I don't know what to do.I smacked my forehead on my hand , an action which i immediately regretted. I would probably just make up an excuse of being sick and skip the love feast.
The little door bell rang, a customer walked in. Liv attended to the customer while I went to find myself a pain killer from the first aid box.
Half way gone already.....Omo y'all hit that star button, it my source of encouragement
