Unravelling Me

Chapter 2> Sly Smirk

I hurriedly walked to a green door by the left corner with a tag on it “Dressing Room”, clutched the door handle and opened it softly and in  Five minutes, am already dressed with a crept teal green uniform, embroidered a white lace.

Stepping out, I went straight to the counter quickly swiping my employee badge into the blue card reader below the counter to log myself into the system,  I heard a car honk. Of course I knew who that was. Ma’am Adina, My Boss.  A light skinned  short and chubby lady in her early thirties, cladded in black knee length Gown and on pink heels. She‘s a sweet lady who gave me a job two years ago when I was an 18 year old jobless and frustrated teenager. She only goes very cranky when ever her employees are late for work. “Oh lord I hope am saved today!!”.
I said as I quickly scanned the room with my eyes, checking if everything is in place, only for me to see the display tag in front of the glass door showing CLOSED. Swiftly, I strode over to the door and placed my hands on the tag turning it back to OPEN.
“Welcome Ma’am Adina” I said putting on a graciously tactful smile that screamed FAKE in my head, when I saw her walk in to the café rummaging her Glencia  pink handbag looking for heaven knows what. She looked up at me giving me a scrutinizing look and then says softly “ Yanki how many customers have been in and out today?” not knowing what to reply I heard Chami say “ None ma’am Adina, but we’ll be expecting some customers soon” adding a grin on her face while trying to shake off her sense of uneasiness. I felt so relieved after she replied because ma’am Adina graciously walked striaght away to her office.

I stepped behind the counter of the café ready to receive more customers as the first ten customers who arrived have placed their orders and have been attended to by Chami.

“A cup of Coffee please, you know how I like it Yanki”, the soft voice popped in while she was typing on the computer, she knew who that was and immediately beamed with pleasure as she raised her head up , looking at her Prince Charming Richard Basti.” 

Alright Richy” she smirked and in two minutes Yanki handed over a plastic cup of coffee to Richard.
“Thank you Hunnie” he replied winking at Yanki before walking towards the glass door,leaving Yanki with a shy smile.

“ Ada Chiyanki stop staring at him, you might end up eating him with your eyes as he had done to you some seconds ago” Chami said Sharply, grinning cheerfully as she knew perfectly well the chemistry between her best friend and Richard.
“Oh I wish we were married already” Yanki commented sadly as she leaned on the counter, folding her hands. “Too bad am not his type, not even in a million years to come”.

“Yanki", she said stressing my name.
"I have told you countless times that you should be confident about your self,  stop comparing yourself with other types of girls, if your Prince Charming really loves you he would take you for who you are”. Chami hinted, trying to take Yanki off this mood of hers.

“So says Miss Chami who’s already about to graduate from college next year and  already has a boyfriend head over heels for her” Yanki replied with displeasure broadly smeared all over her face.
“Look Chami my life is messed up already, am a girl who had DYSLEXIA at the age of eight, and  though am almost out of it, I still make the wrong orders for customers; why ~because I easily forget things and not to add I can’t even read  properly. I don’t even want to mention how I was bullied in school by Zaria and Adami for years and how after graduating from school  I haven’t been accepted in any college  because of my poor grades”.
She proclaimed and huffed, blinking back tears as memories she thought she had forgotten sufficed again.

Taking a casual glance at Chami, she saw Chami move closer to her, placed her hands on her cheeks and wiped away tears that has already started trickling down without her notice.

“Then it seems we’re gonna do this the hard way Yanki, You my friend and you are gonna tell Richard you love him and perhaps watch him accept you or refuse you”.
Chami said softly, afterwards raising her tiny fingers in order to close Yanki’s lips that has been Agape in surprise all the period she has been talking”.

“Chami I would never walk up to tell a guy I love him first” Yanki whispered audibly enough for Chami to hear since she noticed the customers eyes have recently been fixed on them both.
“You don’t have an option Yanki, It‘s a You Do Or I do it for you option”. Chami hurled back at her,  leaving to attend to a customer with a Sly Smirk

A Smirk only Yanki understood, a smirk that spells seriousness and doom!!!.
