My secondary school friend who didn't let me rest and gave me notebooks as bday gift, just for me to write more novels, thanks for also always disturbing me in school camp, almost every night, to tell you a movie...which I do make up. I LOVE YOU.
*********
"So that's it"
"Wow"
"No wonder you love movies"
"exactly"
"But it paid off....the whole harshness or let me paraphrase that,strictness from your dad"
He nodded "yea,it did"
I teasingly smirked at him "so you did one night stands...yeah??"
he was amused "once in a blue moon"
"oka....y if you say so"
he raised a brow "You don't believe me"
"hmmmm let me think about it" I stuck my tongue out "I don't"
he was taken aback "child"
"adult"
"assistant"
"Boss"
we laughed and I joined him on the grass "tell me about you"
I looked at him and smiled "there's really nothing there to know"
he pushed me lightly "hey I told you mine...open up....I even told you about Sasha... no one knows that....so better start talking" I laughed....he's so cute when he glares at me.
"Okay,I'll be twenty, next year January, best color..purple...my bestie is still the same person...punched a girl in my college for telling me that I had bought boobs" his eyes went there immediately "loving the view??"
he looked back at me "why did you punch her??"
"I punched her because I'm not big or small... I'm just there in boobs...she was trying to make a joke...I punched her and made it funny"
"wow,I should be careful"
"yea,you should be"
He stuck his tongue out...I wasn't expecting that..."continue"
"that's all"
"C'mon"
"ask,I'll answer"
"okay"
"have you ever insulted me before" I laughed so hard...I started crying, he was just there,confused,looking at me "countless times"
"what did you call me"
"Boss or Terrence"
"ha ha ha funny,I meant when you are insulting me"
I covered my mouth with my hands and shook my head...."c'mon tell me"
I sighed "okay,goat of a human being,troll, beast etc"
I looked at him,he looked shocked, like a child that you just told that he ate a lizard head (ewwwwwww sick sick sick)
"Wow"
"I'm sorry" I tried my best not to laugh.
"And there's still etc??"
I nodded,fat with laughter.
"Relationship?"
"nope"
"ever??"
I looked at him as if he was so stupid..."once"
"what happened" I looked away...I loved the little drops that touch my feet from the waterfall,so beautiful and kinda deep blue....we were really close to it.
"you don't have to tell me if you don't want to"
Mimicking him "but you told me about Sasha" I laughed "he died"
Silence........
"I'm so sorry"
"Nahhh no worries" I tried my best to smile...remembering Caleb was bittersweet.
"So what about you,what did you call me when you insulted me"
he focused into space "hmmmm pig,beast etc"
I was stunned ....he laughed and pointed at me "Oooo you needed to see your face" he kept laughing "I haven't laughed this good in a long time....snap out of it Alisha,I'm joking"
******
She calmed down and eye daggered me "very funny"
"it was"
she lay down "thanks"
I followed suit "for what"
She smiled "you just want me to say it"
"exactly"
"I had fun....this was really nice"
"even if I had to carry you and endure your screaming"
I blushed "whatever"
******
He tucked my stray hair in place and smiled "this shows you that Brittany has nothing to do with our friendship....yes she helped with the first step...but that's all"
I nodded "okay, are you a practising Christian" he furrowed his brows "urmmm I am not" "why?" "didn't have a dad that took me for services or made God supreme in our lives" I smiled "you are coming with me for Thursday fellowship,and I'm not asking,I'm telling" he placed his right hand on his chest and wore a serious look "Sir Yes Sir" I narrowed my eyes, he chuckled "okay" "you need to stop using your dad as an excuse,you are a grown man, you don't know Jesus because you never wanted to, if you really wanted to,you would have drove to a church and fellowship with other believers" he stared at me for the longest possible time, he sighed "I'll go with you on Thursday" I smiled,
"time to head back" he turned but looked at me,my hand holding his wrist "thanks again"
"time to carry you home" he had completely brushed it away...I smiled then frowned "wait what!!....don't you dare"
The last thing I remember after my commands was "put me down you hardworking man who just so happens to be my boss!!!!" he laughed heartily.
I had a whole explanation to give my mum.
She was pissed that I left without a word even if my excuse of screaming didn't work,she started 'Awww' and smiling too much when I told her about him carrying me on the street,I removed the smacking part....no one would like to tell their mama that.
*******
"Good morning Sir"
"Better start calling me T" he glared at me and took the staircase.
I smiled,it was cool that we interacted,it was like we were cool in and out of the office....weekends was fun, he would text me about new movies and tell me to do the same and he also went with me for Thursdays fellowship, even started attending Bible study, Carla was so shocked when she had seen him the first time at our church, she kept eye-messaging me throughout the service.
Carla and my mum were plotting on how to get him to come over,that's obviously pushing your luck,i adjusted my hair pin and got back to work.
