Fenna.

I wake up very early in the morning the following day. I have an interview to conduct.

To be sincere, I feel like I've already fallen head over heels with Nolan. If this is how people who are in love feel, then it must be a good thing.

I'm sure that deep down, Nolan feels something for me. It's just that he's yet to voice his concerns.

I'm just waiting for his first move.

I'm busy preparing breakfast when I hear the bell ring. I open the maid door and I don't see anyone therefore I presume that someone is at the gate.

I walk to the gate and peep at the hole. A guy dressed like a gateman is standing there, probably waiting to be let in.

I make a call to the agency before opening the gate and they assure me that he's the one after giving me his description and full names.

I usher him in then call Nolan to come and help me conduct the interview and negotiate the salary on my behalf.

He assures me that he's driving towards my house.

I show the visitor the waiting bay at the verandah and go back to the gate to wait for Nolan.

I could have just waited for him in the house but I just can't. I think I'm already obsessed with him.

Minutes later, he shows up at the gate and I open it for him to drive in.

He parks his car then helps me close the gate.

“I hope I'm not inconveniencing you dear...”

“Hell no! Anything for my best friend. I'll never let you down!”

“If you say so...”
I say as we walk towards the waiting guy.

The interview goes on smoothly and we conclude that he's the best guy for the job. His name is Paul.

I instruct him on whatever is needed of him and he's good to go.

I then usher Nolan into the house to offer him some tea which I was preparing before Paul showed up.

“So my friend....”

Nolan addresses me.

“Have you thought about what you should do with your life?”

“Not yet. I know no one in this country.....except you and Tess...I'm thinking of starting something with the little I have...”

“That'll be a great move dear... Just think of what you want to do and I'll help you where possible....”

“Infact, I've been thinking of starting a supplies company. Atleast that's what my parents do abroad!”

“I'll help you wherever possible. I don't want my friend to be bored all alone at home...”

He's concerned after all.

Half an hour later, he leaves after persuading him to leave. If you ask me, I'd say he jokes a lot with his cab business. I know he's his own boss but he has bills to pay.... Or so I assume...

******

I'm busy watching a movie when my phone vibrates from the table. I pick it up and it's a text from Nolan.

*How about dinner in town in the evening? Everything on me!*
It reads.

*But you've been treating me all along....it'll be on me tonight.*

*I don't take no for an answer. Let's meet earlier. I have a surprise for you!*

*Great. See you at four!*
