Shattered

Seven

The heart.

It bears the greatest evil ever known.

It's very tricky.

And can be used to an advantage.

The heart.

It also bears the greatest love ever.

*~*~*~*~*
Whistling, as I walked around the house feeling very happy.
I took my bath quickly as I reminisced about the phone conversation yesterday.

"Nuella! Wait let me check if this is my phone. Oh my goodness!! You called me!!!"
He had sounded enthusiastic over the phone and a euphoric feeling enveloped me. 

"Yeah, I decided to call you."
I had replied suddenly feeling very proud of myself.

"Oh baby, you're the best. I'm in a meeting now I'll call you once I'm done."
He had pleaded before hanging up.

I've never felt so special in my entire life.

He was very sweet and considerate.

Maybe it's high time I stop judging a book by it's cover.

"What are you still doing in that bathroom?"

I heard my dad's voice snap outside the bathroom.

"Sorry," I apologized when I came out of the bathroom, I even spared him a smile.

What can I say, I'm happy.

Grabbing my phone and turning on a song, I started dancing as I dressed up.

Overload by Davido.

I don't know why I'm feeling this way but I like it.
Still in my euphoric state, I paid the tricycle driver one hundred naira.
Even mom noticed my good mood today.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Nothing mom. I'm just so happy," I replied.

Mom left the shop in the afternoon to rush and buy some things for pop corn in town while I stayed back at the shop waiting.

No sooner had mom left that a black Camry car pulled up in front of the shop.

The door opened and car owner... No, scratch that... Chika came out with a fair man.

"Good afternoon," I smiled and greeted politely.

"My baby, how are you doing?" the man gave me a side hug.

"Emmy, she's not your baby oo please go and find yours, she's mine," Chika corrected quickly.

I blushed deeply as I felt butterflies in my stomach.

My palms became sweaty as I caught him staring at me and I turned away.

"What do you guys want?," I asked respectfully.

"You!" Chika replied.

"What!" Now I was a fucking nervous mess.

"Whoa! Relax," he laughed, "we want to test your sweet pop corn. I hope it's as sweet as the person that made it."

This time I really did almost faint.
