Amanda found it very relaxing whenever she went on her morning run and today wasn't going to be any different. In her words, it was the best way to get her mind off all the mediocrity happening in her life.
She also had planned to explore her neighborhood and saw her outdoor exercise one way of doing so. Amanda woke up very early that morning, gave a short prayer, went straight to the bathroom, rinsed her face and brushed her teeth. This was her normal morning routine every day before preparing for her day's activities.
She walked to her wardrobe, took out a pair of black track trouser and a pink tan-top complimented with a black, pink striped tennis cap. She searched below her shoe rack and carried out a pair of white snicker and without any much delay, she changed into them.
Facing her mirror and adjusted her tennis cap. The cap to her wasn't necessary but, she won't take her chances of being recognized by both fans and anti-fans. She only saw it as a strategic means of hiding her identity from the world.
Amanda slowly opened her front door, permitting the chilling breeze to invade her completely; she stepped on her porch and locked the door behind her.
“It was 4:30am aren’t these people supposed to still be in bed?” she complained to herself the moment she saw her neighbors going about their morning chores. It was a strange observation for her. Not that some community don't prefer working early morning but she hadn't been privileged to witness it before, this was something very new to Amanda.
It was dark outside but the street lights illuminated the entire street which made it easy for people to see like it was the break of dawn.
“Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Albert.” Amanda made known her presence as she moved closer to Mrs. Albert who was tending her garden.
“Morning Amanda.” Mrs. Albert replied, wearing a warm smile on her charming face.
“Morning!” Mr. Albert from the top of the ladder replied while focusing on fixing the decorative light on the door.
Amanda stood amazed, admiring the dexterous couple. They were old but,still were agile.
“How was your night dear?” Mrs. Albert asked politely.
“Fine Mrs. Albert, I slept like a baby.” This was true. Amanda enjoyed her first night in her new apartment. She used to find it hard to sleep in a new place but her soft queen-sized bed and pillows had done it's best to seduce her to comfort. “Thanks for the cookies yesterday, I really enjoyed them.”
“Oh,” Mrs. Albert waved her hand “it was nothing. I am glad you enjoyed them.”
“I really did, maybe one day you cold teach me how to make delicious cookies as yours.” She watched Mrs. Albert flash her a coy smile at her comment and Amanda fell in love with how accepting the couples were. “I can see you are busy.” Amanda added.
