It's been more than half of an hour since I have sat down here drinking coffee alone. I've been staring at the busy streets of Cape town through this huge window of the restaurant with the hope of seeing my best friend  Mitch unfortunately there was no sign of him so I just finished my coffee and hit the road back home. On the road I was playing my favorite track of Samthing Soweto ft Scorpion kings_Asambeni. This song reminds me of how much exciting life is sometimes. Before I knew it this song had just reminded me of how Mitch and I met. I saved his life from some well known gangsters. He told me that he had taken the girlfriend of the owner of the gang. After ten minutes I cleared my thoughts and concentrated on the road as I stopped my black BMW 325i since the traffic lights just turned red as I approached them. As the lights turned back to green my phone vibrated with a notification of a new message. I reached for it and glanced at the screen to realize that my mom had sent it. With half concentration to the road I read it

Mom>>[ we won't be home till late so don't wait up and make sure you eat something before you sleep. Love you bye ]

To avoid a big fuss tomorrow I replied quickly.

Me:<<[Ok mom no problem and I'll make sure I do eat. Love you too enjoy your night out]

I parked safely in the parking space reserved for me before getting out and locking it on my way to the lounge. Due to exhaustion of the day I threw myself on the couch switching the TV on. Before I could find something I can enjoy my phone rang with an incoming call. I quickly answered it as realised it was Mitch.

"Hey Jack" I could he his husky voice from the other side.

"Hey Mitch" I replied with an innocent voice.

"Sorry man I couldn't join you on our late coffee." As always he's quick to apologize before one could scold him for his demeanor.

"Whatever Mitch....I guess I also needed time to think as well." Without pushing it further I surrendered because I know I cannot win at any cost.

"Who said I wanted time to think? I know what I want man and that is to marry Jessica." Yeah I guess he really love this girl. They've been together for a year now.

"I'm happy for you man...go and pop out the question to her."

"That's the case Jack I wanted your help with that and by the way it's the actual reason why I called you" I knew it he wanted something from me.

"Ok what do you mean when you say you need my help?"

"I kinda don't know how to ask her or rather make it romantic." He said with a nervous laugh.

" Oh that's easy man. Put the ring in a milkshake and when she sees it ask her to marry you. You see so simple man, you don't need rocket science to ask her.

"Wow.......that's what you get for having non romantic friends"

"Really. You're seriously calling me non romantic? Why did you call me then if I'm non romantic." I told him with a pissed voice.

It took him some seconds before he could reply " I guess I shouldn't have called you actually. " with those words he hung up.

That's what I hate about being whipped. He's trying everything he can to be romantic. I just hope he's not pissed with me. I lifted myself up from the couch before heading to the kitchen to make something I can eat.

********************************

It's around ten now I've been watching my favorite series NCIS LOS ANGELES for the past three hours on Netflix. As always I check my emails before I get myself ready for sleep. One of the emails catches my eyes.

dylancastillo@gmail <<[ dear Mr Jack S Brown we as the Castillo family notify you that you can come for the job interview tomorrow. It is scheduled for 9 am.]

I was so delighted such that I quickly replied with a confirmation.

jacksbrown@gmail >>[dear Mr Dylan Castillo thank you sir I'll be there.]

As my laptop confirmed that my email was sent I lifted myself up from the single couch in my bedroom as I make my way to the closet to change into my pajamas. I got under my covers in my bed before my eyes shutdown into sleep.
