Two weeks had gone by since chuck and I last saw each other. He had left several missed calls and messages on my phone, but I had to ignore them.
I sat in the hammock at the front porch of my house, as I used my laptop going through my blog.
During this past weeks my blog had grown bigger, Two weeks ago I had just 65k Subscribers, but recently grown to 101k subscribers, it was a massive hit for me.
I had gotten several job invitations from big companies in New York and other cities, but I just couldn't leave.
Nevertheless my mom had been really infuriated with me after I had quit my job, she even started threatening to kick me out of the house if I didn't get a job.
My phone rings, I felt reluctant to check who the caller was, as I expected it to be Chuck.
A second thought came to my mind then I picked up my phone from where I dropped it to check who the caller was.
It was Joel, I felt so happy seen his call.
"Hey baby" I said out loud
"hi love, I just got out of work, could I come to your place, that's if your mom isn't around"
"sure sweetie, I'll be expecting you"
"okay just give me 30 minutes " he hangs up
I stayed outside for a while as I hoped to wait for him to get here, 10 minutes later I had a change
of mind then decided to go fix myself to look hot for him.
I got up from the hammock, wore my slippers and placed my laptop on my arm. I head to the entrance of my house, then a flashy unfamiliar black car arrives at my drive way, the car's horn blew.
Then someone comes out of the car, behold it was none other than chuck, I should have guessed l that earlier on.
My face had a frown on it from the sight of his face, I felt so irritated.
"I thought you promised not to come without my permission " I yelled out loud.
I rushed to my drive way to confront him.
"I know I promised, but I did inform you, check your messages " he said with a smile on his face.
"did I say you could come" I yelled
"Did I?! " I screamed this time around
"Allie please don't be angry, I just couldn't get you off my mind, I tried but I couldn't, after that kiss I couldn't forget you"
"is it that kiss!, it's just a normal kiss, get over it" I screamed out
"it meant a lot to me" he politely said
He pulled me closer to him holding my two shoulders with his two hands
"I love you, please love me back"
"I can't, I have a boyfriend, you're hurting me, let go of me" I cried out
"I'm sorry " he removes both his hands from my shoulder
"Can I come in" he said
"No!, please go" I yelled out
Joel comes out from a taxi sighting chuck and I talking, he walks to my front yard, meeting both of us.
"what's going on here" Joel asks with his face looking like that of someone who was ready to fight
"babe it's nothing, he was just leaving " I said gently
"so his the one" chuck said jealousy
"see Chuck just go" I said pushing him away by the shoulder
"she said go" Joel shouted showing his masculine voice
"Don't worry I'll leave " he said
Chuck walks out of my premises slowly as he enters his car. Giving Joel and I this vengeful look then drives off
"is he the one from your previous work place " Joel asks
"hmm yes, please let's just go inside "
We both hold each other tight as we walked into the house.
Later in the evening , my mom called for me in the living room. Seemed she had something important to talk about
I slowly walked down the stairs as I was reluctant to have any serious conversations with her
"I'm here" I said rolling my eye balls as I take a sit
"I want us to talk about your love life and also your job"
"mom what about my job??" I asked sober
"You better get a job very soon, or you'll have to move out, and also I heard your looser of a boyfriend was here today, didn't I warn you not to bring him here, I hope you two didn't defile my house with your ungodly acts" she scolded me
"oh mom please spare me all that, I'm guessing you heard that from chuck , what's up with the both of you"
"Allie why are you so stupid, take advantage of the opportunity God has given you, don't waste your time with that boy without a future "
After hearing what my mom had to say, my blood started boiling, I stood up from the chair where I sat furiously.
"mom if you have nothing better to say then I'm going to my room"
"Allie I give you one week to find a job. Just one week, if after one week you don't get a job I'll throw you out of this house"
"yeah whatever " I rushed up back to my room
"this is too much, I can't take this anymore " my mom said to herself.
