Its been months since I stopped working at Collins special . I work there as a waitress and the eatery sells different kinds of foods.

The shop is called ' Collins special because of how special their food always taste. It is also well known in Lagos. I  stopped working there because I needed  time for school,i want to be serious . During my breakup with Thomas, I lost track in school and my  grades was reducing which led to the reason why  I left Collins special to work on my grades.

Now that I'm back on track, I'm ready to work there again. The pay is very good I tell you.My only prayer is to get accepted.
It isn't like I needed the  job by fire or by force, I just love The job and the good pays it gives.

Since today is a short day which is Friday,Class ended  5 minutes ago, I said my goodbye to Abby I made my way to Collins special.

On reaching the restaurant, I couldn't believe how the shop had improve just few months of my absent. It super surprising I tell you.  The restaurant has been renovated and now look ten times more than it was before.  I'm happy for the owner who I still don't know.

There were lots of customers around. Alex is by the counter but when she saw me she waved me over.

"Hi Lucy ,long time no see" she said happily.

Alex is one of my friend at Collins special, she is very nice and very pretty. Even with the three years age difference she never once treat me like a kid.

" yeah it been a while, how are you doing Alex?"  she beam at me.

"Well, i'm fine same old same old. Anyways to what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you here"

"I just came to apply for a job here again. I hope I will be accepted, hopefully "

"That means you will be joining us pretty soon" shouted a very excited Alex.

"That is if the Oga  accept me back" I told her.

"You silly girl ,why won't Mr kadir approve of you. Have you forgotten that you were one of the best worker  when you were working here and don't forget the one time you cooked for the customers when the cook wasn't around, have you forgotten how the customers praised the food that day. Mr kadir will be so glad to see you" she said seriously.

'" I hope so. Let me go check on him " I said ,nervously.

"Don't worry, I know he will accept you with open arms" she smiled whilst I walk towards the boss office.

On my way to Collins office I greeted some workers whom I used to also work with. My phone pinged in my trousers pocket so I brought it out to see who texted and it turn out to be Abby saying ' I should call her, there is something she wants to tell me'.  First thing first,  as much as I'd love to call her to hear what so ever she wants to tell me, I still need to sort this job first before I can now call her. 

I put the phone back in my pocket and was about to turn left but that ended me on the floor. I was pushed by a hard chest.

My butt hurt so much and in my state of pain I tired standing up  .

" miss are you ok" the guy asked. Everything around me stopped coz of who I just saw.

It the guy in my dreams, he is here in front of me. I can't believe this or am I hallucinating? .

Sometimes like recognition also passed through his face. But what he said next surprises me

" why am I even asking, you should learn to watch where you're going " he rudely said and walkout of my front.
