He parks in front of my gate and we just sit there, looking at each other.After some time,he reaches for my hand, intertwines our fingers and says;
"See you tomorrow"
"Maybe" I say, feeling slightly irritated.
"Can I see you tomorrow?"
"Okay" I reply in an excited voice.Happy that he had finally asked, instead of demanding for it like an arrogant fish.
He tells me to get ready by 2pm as i am about to step out of the car and i just roll my eyes.
"Bring Grace too" he says as I finally step out of the car.I burst out laughing because I know bringing Grace is his way of avoiding another stand off.
He drives off as i make my to my room.
I raise my hand to knock and almost get thrown into the room as Grace swings the door open.She must have been listening for my footsteps.
She practically drags me in and slams the door.I just pity our neighbors.
Without a by-your-leave,she drags the food bags from me and starts scrounging through them,I chuckle slightly.One would think she hadn't eaten in days.
I undress and take a quick bath.Belatedly realising I didn't tell Grace I got the food for her.
As soon as I step out of the shower i call out to her.
"Grace! The food in the bag is for you!" I say, shouting just for the fun of it.
"Yeah, I know! I already finished it!" She yells back.
What? What?! So fast? How?
She must have inhaled it.I am pretty sure she breathed it all in.I just spent five bloody minutes in the shower,no body eats that fast.
"Wait ...You mean you didn't leave some for me?" I ask her as i dry off.
"Nope,I am sure you already ate and you don't like cucumber" She replies with a slight shrug as she heads for the bed.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask.
"Well,for starters,the coleslaw has cucumber,and you hate it with passion.You wouldn't have eaten it" She says, wearing a smug grin.
I just smile back because I honestly don't think I can eat another bite and she is actually right about the cucumber.Yuck!
I put on my PJ's and lie beside her on the bed.We each turn to stare at each other and grin.
Trust Grace to squeeze every tidbit out of me.I know i will break an important rule tonight,but it will be absolutely fun.
I proceed to tell Grace about everything that happened between me and the BriMan.
Let's just say she will be as hoarse as a frog come morning.
She doesn't even let me finish a sentence before she squeals like a girl in her teens.
I am sure all our neighbors have already planned various ways to murder us as Grace keeps on squealing and yelling;
"Oh my God! That's so romantic!"
"That tricky hot man! What happened next?"
"Oh yeah! Maya Banks could use that in her book"
As if I wouldn't hear her if she spoke softly.Apparently the conversation also included our neighbors.
And so we discussed until the early hours of the morning before sleeping.
I wake up to the shrill sound of my phone ringing in my ear.I check the screen and my eyes widen as I see "fish" boldly written on my screen and the time being 2pm on the dot.
I almost pee on myself as I jump off the bed and tap Grace awake.Ever the deep sleeper,she just mumbles as she tries to get more comfortable.
Argh! I do not need this right now.I run to the bathroom,wet my hand and proceed to rub it on her face.She flies off the bed,teeth bared and ready to attack.
"BriMan!" I yell as i grab my toothbrush while undressing.
I have never been good at multi-tasking.Its like asking a toddler to milk a cow.
That wakes her faster than the second coming,as she rushes to fish out for what to wear.
We both rush into the bathroom, silently acknowledging that there is no time for privacy as we rush through our bath.
We were both dressed in five minutes flat.What a record breaker!
As we both attempt to put our heads in order,a knock sounds on the door.
We both exchange glances as I yell;
"Who is it?"
"Me" comes the faint reply from the other side.
Me? Just me? How in the blazing hell am I supposed to know who 'me' is ?
I just ignore whosoever 'me' is as I arrange me hair into a fro and apply some gloss.
I check my time and it's 2:15.I tell Grace to hurry as I go get my sandals.
Before I can reach where they are kept,another knock sounds and this time I March towards the door with the intention of giving 'me' a piece of my mind.
As I fling open the door,I almost swoon.Right in front of me stands my man,and he looks breathtakingly gorgeous.
"Uh,hey" I say, smiling sheepishly.
"You are late"he replies with a straight face.
"I know,sorry" I say, giving him my best smile.He doesn't say anything,he just stare at me with a straight face.
"How did you know where my room is?" I ask.
He doesn't reply as he just walks around me and steps into my room.
At that point I start to realize how really feminine the room is,how worn out my couch looks and how very mundane every other thing is.
"Hello Grace" he says in that husky voice that gives me tingles.
"Hi" she replies with a bright smile as she fastens her shoes.
I pick up my sandals and put them on as I pick a small bag and head to where he is standing.
"Shall we?" I ask, showing him the way out.
He doesn't even acknowledge my statement as he starts to head out.
Why is he ignoring me?
I am going to slap the back of his smooth shaved head.That should get his attention.
The nerve of the infuriatingly handsome man!
