Pancakes With A Waitress

Samantha's Birthday

"And happy birthday" Jennifer smiled at me.

I didnt remember my own birthday, since it was of no importance anyway. I was discharged and as soon as we got out of the hospital, we saw Lawrence coming towards us.

"Dear, i can explain....

Jennifer and i ignored him and went on our ways.

"I have a surprise for you" Jennifer told me. I was really curious because have never really had a surprise.

"Okay... She blindfolded me and closed me up in her car. She left. Everything was so black and i was so scared but soon, she came and started driving. Lawrence had given her this car. We stopped somewhere and she left again.

Soon, i heard a man's voice.

"Okay, maam come down" his voice was really thick and i was trembling in so much fear.

"KIDNAPPER!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed so loud but he held my mouth and carried me, he started running.

"HELP! HELP! HELP ME! JENNIFER! JENNIFER!" I screamed as i cried in tears. He soon stopped and threw me on the floor.

"AHHH! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!' i tried to take off the blindfold. The man fell right in front of me. Soon, it was a different fragrance. A very familiar one. I couldn't see but our faces were inches apart. My heart was beating fast.

BRANDON???

But i am angry with him. He slowly took off my blinfold....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!

"WHAT? So....the kidnapper is also part of the..,"
"yeah" Jennifer giggled and i pushed her.

"I almost got hurt when that man PUSHED me!" I was annoyed.

"why is she wearing a hospital robe? Wear a better dress celebrant" I saw Melissa and some other cooks from Prime Meals International but not Miss Nelly.

"who invited you?" I asked looking delighted.

"Mr Jonathan" They chorused.

Awwwwn...

I stared at his smiling face.

"I have another surprise...

I looked around, the balloons, ribbons, presents and the very huge cake on the table.

"I planned this" Brandon said.

My eyes were filled with tears. I have never had a party all my life. All i had was cane and cane! I looked at Brandon again... I was blinking away tears.... i ran towards Brandon and wrapped my arms around him...

OMG

I hugged Brandon, everyone had smiling faces.

"Thank You So Much Brandon" I hugged him tight.

He slowly gave in and hugged me back. I realized what i was doing and uncomfortably let go.

He presented me a long white dress and it looked so beautiful on me. We danced, jumped, played and i had so many expensive gifts.

I saw Brandon going outside to the car after the party.

"Thanks Brandon, what you did today meant a lot"

'Like...are you telling me you've never celebrated?" He asked in shock.

"Yeah... All i had was beatings from my mom" I told him

"Oh, but why?' he asked.

"its nothing, just....thanks" I turned to leave but he held my hand.

"Tell me...we are friends" he said, i felt more confident and started.

"So, 23 years ago, i was born. The family wanted a boy because he'd bring goodluck and wealth, carry the family name, and all that, but when my mom had me, dad was so angry, he went with another woman who had twin boys! My mom was heartbroken. As i grew, badluck followed the family. My aunt grew bankrupt, my uncle died, both my cousins were missing and worst of all, my grandparents were said to instantly die while they were WALKING AND MAKING JOKES IN THE MARKET! Like....its not normal, something is wrong with me Brandon, something is wrong" i cried as Brandon comforted me.

"dont cry, nothing is wrong with you"

"Is it normal, you are 23 and you don't even have a boyfriend who's gonna stand by you and you can cry on his shoulders. Jennifer is the biggest girl now who just met a guy yesterday and they are friends. Soon, they will go into a relationship! When will i MEET THAT GUY?!" I kept crying.

"Can i be THAT GUY?" i was dumbfounded.

"Which guy?" I asked him.

"The one to stand by you, you can cry on his shoulders and...inshort, your boyfriend?" He asked me.

I was still surprised. Brandon Jonathan?? I wasnt sure about it yet.

"Am not so sure yet. Can i go home and think about it??" I asked him.

"Yeah..." Brandon said. We said our byes!

THIS IS SHIT

Jennifer left!
