I stood by my car outside the Cafe Royale...
Checking time over and over againJuliet asked me to meet her here
About 90 minutes ago
I have sat inside... The Cafe... Enjoyed a full cup of ice cream 🍧 and walked out of see if am at the right location but it is... Boldy written as THE CAFE ROYALEI tried calling her again but she's isn't answering... As I was about to dial Victoria's number to find out where they are
A white range rover pulled over and I watched her step out from the backseat in her short blue gown with white puma slippers.
With her gold leg chain dangling aroundVictoria came out from the front seat with her bag and smiled at me but I was too upset to return the smile
As they approach me, I removed my sunshade and try to keep my cool
"Ohhh honey... "
She wrapped her arms around me
"Am so... Sorry, I didn't mean to waste your time..... I hope you are not upset ""What took you so long "
"I had to wrap things up.... We have another photoshoot today with our party president and I had to make sure everything is ready "
"Okay..... So where's the agent "
"I know I promise you that I would be coming with him but I had a lot on my mind and I completely forgot to call him "
"I dont understand... We were suppose to meet here today like two hours ago and now you are telling me that you forgot to call the man I have been waiting for.... I don't understand "
"I know it sounds stupid "
It sure does what is wrong with this babe..... How can you forget to call the agent you said would help me to find a place as soon as possible...
If you didn't come I won't be bothered it's not like I have any business with youNow that I know where Philip stays... I just have to get a place close to him
But I couldn't tell her all this. No matter how angry or devastated I was... I know I had to keep this friendship at float....
Taking this shit... Is the least I can doI took a deep breath to maintain a calm tone
"So You forgot to tell the agent.. Can you give me his number so I can set a meeting "
Yes I wonder why I didn't think of this before
"Excellent... Victoria pass on Mr Collins number... And we can do that in the car "
"Hello we didn't come here in the same car and Besides we are not heading the same way "
"Ohh honey I just told you I have a photoshoot today "
"OK.... What has that got to me "
"Photoshoot... Makeover... Cmon genesis.. You should have figured this out already "
"I still don't understand.. How am involved in any of this "
"I need you... Goddaminit! Victoria fill her in... We don't have time for this "
"No... No... Victoria is not filling me in on anything... If you have something to say. Get on with it.. Or else I'm getting into my car and driving off.... I've wasted over an hour here and I have other things to do"
She fell quiet.. Probably processing what i just said
"I get it.. You are upset. But those people won't waste time... Philip and his president won't wait for me.. I have to get going like now "
"You didnt come all the way here to tell me that... Did you... You could have just told me all this on the phone and I won't be waiting for nothing "
"Am sorry.. I just wanted you to come there with me "
"What if I can't come... What if I have other things to do "
She sighed
"It's fine... Am sorry I kept you waiting "
She said and was heading back to her car...
I don't mind watching her leave
Coz her attitude just sucks
But if she walks away..
That won't be good for me"Wait... i haven't even said I wasn't going....You can't even chill....but where are we heading to"
"My house first ". She smiled
"Stop smiling... Am still angry at you"
"I know. I apologize "
" Anyways I'm coming in my car and you owe a bowl of ice cream.. The biggest size "
"No problem.. Can we get going now.. Please "
"Yes... Victoria rides with me pls... We still need to call the agent "
"Ohh OK... Its fine "
Victoria was excited to ride with me... We gisted and she felt free again but the drive was short.. The house was just fifteen minutes away.
When we got into the compound... Juliet asked Victoria if she has called Mira and she hasn't because we spent the whole drive time chatting..
I haven't even called the agentI had to lie that Mira was on her way and immediately texted Mira to start coming
I decided to call the agent as well before I forget to do so
And now it won't be julie's fault..After making the call..
I called Mira to find out where she is and I was strolling into the house like I own the place when I bumped intoA hard rocky fit chest..
It was like hitting a punching bag and bouncing back
I could hit it again if I'm permitted to. It feels so goodI raised my head and saw him gazing at me with his big hazel Brown eyes
He is wearing gray slacks and sports shoes
He must have been coming from the gym and I just walked right into him like a lost puppyI tried to comport myself
Too late
I was already drooling
He must think I'm one of those girls.How can he still be like this after all these years...
Is he seeing right through me as I'm standing right in front of himHe was staring at me..
Why is he staring at me for F's sake
Oh God.... No.. I hope not
Say something Genesis
Anything would be better than standing muteJuliet showed up behind him and save the day
"Ohh baby here you are "
We both snapped out of our mystery and stare at her"Hey Julie "
My voice found me
How convenient"Genesis.. Welcome... Hey sweetie meet my beautiful friend genesis... Genesis my amazing husband Philip"
Amazing indeed
He was staring at me and stretching a hand at me"Nice to meet you Genesis "
I grab his hand firmly but his gaze rests on my face
I can't be so familiar
