Lucky For Him That's What I Like

Abba is a really gentle man. He open the car door for me and gave me flowers already, like who gives flowers on their first date? Abba😒
He took me to a really nice restaurant and I could tell it is very expensive, from the exterior and interior decorations to the furnitures and equipments, I am impressed

He pulled my chair for me and I mouthed a 'Thank you' and sat opposite him, a waiter shortly appeared and asked for our order, I chose potato pudding with grilled chicken while he chose French fries and liver sauce making me have a second thought at my order, potato pudding it is

I never knew that Abba is this shy, ever since we came here I haven't caught him staring and even if I did he'd look away real quick and seem embarrassed, I was enjoying my meal and noticed that he hasn't touched his food
"You aren't eating, why?" I asked and he gasped a bit dropping his fork
"I was just about to get started" he said shyly and began to eat nervously, why is he so intimidated? Ohh I should stare at him less

"You look very beautiful tonight" he complimented "Well thank you. But how can you tell when you haven't even look me in the eye" I said scoffing "I don't have to, I know so" he said and I blushed a bit. A masculine voice clearing of throat cut me off my trance and I noticed it was the waiter with the bills, I excused myself to the rest room and reapply powder because my face is really oily now from all the foundation applied on my face

"Make-up on fleek fleek fleek" I winked at the mirror, a girl was heading to the door and laughed at my drama as I smiled to her "You're looking beautiful" she complimented "Awwn thanks dear" I said blushing real hard. Making my way to the table I saw it was empty and I assume that he was outside waiting, stepping outside I don't see his car and I'm beginning not to listen to the voices in my head

"Madam!" Someone called out from behind and I turned around, seeing the waiter jogging towards me "Yes?" I answered "The bills" he said handing me the bills, I chuckled to myself, he is gonna do me like this? I thought "Everything okay madam?" The waiter asked "I'm perfectly fine" I said smiling real hard that it began to creep the waiter, checking through the bill I went straight to the total and I saw something like 87,000 naira... Hold on a second I saw it right

I tried adjusting to the light to see if my sight is intact but the figures didn't change "Uhm excuse me, is this 87,000 written here?" I asked "Yes ma" he replied "Please stop calling me ma, can't you see that you can birth me? Ma ni ma ko, this is how you people would be calling somebody ma so that you can eat the person's money" I said angrily "Joor please, is it the whole restaurant that we're buying?" I asked and he looked at me like I was a mad person "Right on time, here's your money and you can keep the change" Abba said handling money over to the waiter

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, I tried your number several times but you wouldn't pick up" he said "It was on silent" I said even though I had seen his call but protested not to call back "How much did you pay?" I asked eagerly "There's no need for that" he said chuckling and I gave him an evil stare "Uhm one hundred" he said scratching his nape

"What?" I screeched "A hundred what?" I asked, knowing that Abba just paid the same amount as my school fees, I dart at the restaurant "Where are you going?" He asked "To collect the change" I replied "What for?" He asked chuckling and I remembered I have a reputation "Oh never mind" I said turning on my heels

"I can open the door myself" I said snatching the car handle roughly and banged it, he entered the car and began to stare at me "What?" I asked with an attitude and he began to laugh, his laugh is warm and very familiar, he sound just like Mukhtar, one of my favourite sound. I couldn't help but laugh with him

"But seriously that is too expensive" I said "And so are you" he said stabbing the key into the engine and with the roar sound we zoomed off....Benz way💨💨

"Thank you for today" he said "You're welcome" I said walking off "Uhm Maryam?" He called out and I stopped dead on track scrunching my face "Yes?" I answered turning around "You forgot the flowers" he said handling the bouquet to me with a box of chocolate "Thanks" I said "And good night" I said with a smile "Oh yes! Uhm good night, sweet dreams" he said as I walked away

Linda kept asking about my date and I told her all about it which she awwned and laughed about
"See I told you he was perfect" she said "Oh please" I said smiling and playfully rolling my eyes "Are you gonna give him a chance?" She asked but I ignored and shared the chocolate amongst us, my phone vibrated and I saw it was a message from Abba "Pst not again" I scoffed

Abba🐒: Hey beautiful!😊 8:12pm

Abba🐒: Just checking on you, hope you're good? Whatchu doing? Just so you know, thinking about you right now😄. Please stop ignoring my texts and reply🙇. 8:50pm

Me: Hey Mr man! Can you please let me be? Haba! I am not interested. Ai soyayya ba dole bane,koh?! Mtsheww 😕 9:25pm

Abba🐒: I know you are out of my league, I was only trying and I'm glad I did. I'd cherish the moment shared with you forever😿. I hope that someday you get someone who would treat you like the queen you are, wishing you all the best in life, with all the sincerity my heart can carry, be happy💝. 9:43pm

His last message touched a soft spot in my heart, I hate it when people put their self down, who am I to be out of anyone's league? I am only human and an average Nigerian girl to top it up. If only anyone understands that I am only trying to save a soul, but then again should I lose a good man?

I should give him a chance, not that I am even scared of having a heartbreak, I barely feel anything

Me: I'm sincerely sorry for my ignorance and mean attitude. Is it too late to love you now? I wanna try too😃. Have a lovely night❤ 11:11pm
