"I saw your boss at the grocery store last week" Carla smiled and adjusted her Caribbean skirt. Maintown's park was always filled with kids running around,we had butterflies everytime in the park,different colours....I guess that's what made it stand out.
I and my bestie were currently enjoying the view...."that's cool"
Carla raised a brow "is that's all you're going to say??"
I chuckled "what do you want me to say....oooo what did he wear...what did he buy"
Carla rolled her eyes "Whatever"
"yea whatever, how's Jake, the guy you told me about"
I smiled as she coloured "He's cool,not in town yet,you'll see him when he comes around"
"Okay,lady in love" I sang the last word......which got me a playful punch from Carla,who was trying to keep her cheeks from bursting out with heartfelt smiles, she rested on my shoulders "I like Brittany"
I sighed "I know you do"
"yea pretty cool"
"exactly"
"So beautiful"
"yeaaa it's a pity she's getting married, i would have hooked the two of you together" it took a little while before Carla realized what I had just said,she glared at me "wait,what....Alisha" she straightened up herself and I stood up and ran before she could get me.
2:30pm
"Who's your guy for Brittany's wedding"
I have grown so used to this voice that I didn't have to raise my head from what I was currently doing.....which is...making sure I had all the invited guests names written down.
I looked at the man who had become a friend, overnight, going to church with him on a weekly basis and seeing him draw close to God gave me so much joy.
I think he likes leaving two of his button unbuttoned, i took my time staring at his chest and then looked at him, if he knew that I was staring at his chest, he pretty sure hid it well.
I folded my hands, "Why do you talk to me......why did you call me brown skirt....why did you talk so rudely to me at the launch party and why so interested now"
His face held no expression,he cocked a brow and sighed "1)you are a worker in my company,I can talk to you whenever I like.
2)Literally,you wore a brown pencil skirt,which hugged your curves" he winked "I just felt like calling you that"
3)I wanted to know why Brittany disturbed me about you,why she was so concerned about how I spoke to you.....and I was being a jerk.
4)I thought we were friends.....I carried you over my shoulder...that should mean something and we also went to church together, couple of times for that matter.
With those few points of mine,I hope that I've been able to convince you that this should be the last time that you would ask me such questions"
He smiled weakly and left.
I guess I was really being childish.....hitting my forehead against my desk helped a little.
*******
Closing the door behind me,this is the first time that I'm on the second or even fourth floor......who am I kidding....I counted up to 10 secretaries,glassy offices,hall of fame(best staff,i pray my picture gets there sooner than later) keep praying Alisha,lots of awards on a very beautiful table.
Wowwww this company is parked.
"What can I do for you Alisha"
Sprinting out of my thoughts,I smiled "I'm sorry for the interrogation earlier"
Waiting for the very, tired looking boss of mine to reply,but instead he just kept looking at me,why did I wear pumps today,my toes hurt, "it's okay,I'm glad we clarified that" Hallelujah he speaks "yea okay"
I smiled and was about to leave "who's your date to Brittany's wedding"
"No one"
He smiled which made me frown, "what" he chuckled.
"Nothing"
"What about Carla"
I raised a brow "She's going with someone"
"Okay"
I rolled my eyes and stood akimbo "got anything to tell me boss????"
He smiled....so adorable.
"Can I pick you up for the wedding??"
I pretended like I was thinking it over...if he wasn't going to come clean and ask me...then I will play this childish game with him.
"No thanks, i have a car" he groaned "you know what I'm asking"
"I'm not a mind reader, boss" I smiled. I was so loving this.
"Be my date for the wedding"
I couldn't stop smiling "Awwwww he finally speaks,okay,I'll think about it"
He glared at me "c'mon!!!!!" I flipped him and screamed "Yes!!!"
*******
Picking up the call "hy"
"You didn't have to be so dramatic"
I laughed "I wasn't"
"really??" he asked sarcastically
"yep"
"Screaming 'yes' on your way down wasn't being dramatic,I'm sure you got the attention of my staff"
He was being truthful.....I actually did,which made me laugh so hard when I got to my working space.
"It's not like I screamed 'i do' "
"What's the difference"
"I can't argue with you" he gave his hearty laugh.
"See you tomorrow A"
I smiled "same Terrence" "seriously??? what about T"
"Not gonna happen"
"We'll see about that,greet Carla for me"
"hmm?"
"yep,we met at a grocery store and she helped me in identifying edible foods and snacks against my will" "Take care Mr Terrence"
Getting my bag out of the car,I chuckled.....typical Carla.
