Chapter 35: Chapter 35

I don't think words could describe how my date went. When I woke up the next morning, there was bacon and eggs with hot tea on the table courtesy of Michael. And when it was time for work, he brought out a different pair of clothes from the one I wore the previous day and I was surprised as he said he thought about me and knows I'd like it and boy, he wasn't wrong.

He also bought a chain which he gave me when I was done dressing up and it's perfect.

My entire day at work was full of smiles except when Mr Richard came around asking if I had a boyfriend….it was so awkward.

"Well done young lady, you kept us waiting." Emily said, when we entered the room after work.

"You're still here?" I asked, not expecting to see her at all.

"If you think I'd leave here without knowing the full gist, then you're wrong sister." She said.

"Now start talking." Comfort commanded.

I started from the beginning to when we went to his house and when I woke up this morning.

"Wait...you guys didn't kiss?" Comfort asked, when I intentionally left that part out.

"Yea, I'm supposed to feel uncomfortable but sadly I'm not, so did you guys kiss or do the nasty?" Emily asked, not looking shy one bit.

"Oh, we kissed, more like made out and we were almost on cloud nine when your mom called." I said, thinking back to the night before.

"Only my mom can do that, so how was it?" Emily asked.

"Yea….she totally lost it." I thought, looking at her eager faces.

"Let's just keep it PG." I joked, but they were not having it, so I had no choice but to tell them everything but in more detail this time.

"So her mom cockblocked you guys….no offense Em." Comfort told Emily.

"They even have nicknames already." I thought, and it's just one night of staying together.

"None taken C." Emily responded.

"Yes, the same thing Michael said." I told them.

"Hope he didn't get blue balls from that?" Emily asked.

"How sure am I that she isn't adopted because there's no way she wants to talk about her brother's balls." I thought.

"He didn't, but if it helped he took a cold shower." I said and they both cooed and awwned at this but I wasn't sure why though.

"You'll both be fine." I concluded, as I looked at the both of them gushing over our date.

After they'd had enough, we all went to bed but for me I still spoke to Michael before sleeping and he sounded tired so we ended the call earlier than usual.

As we dressed up the next morning, Emily also got ready to go back to school since she already missed a day.

"David asked you yesterday, and he's a cutie." Emily said.

"Oh okay." I responded.

"Who's he?" She asked, smiling sheepishly at me.

"He kinda asked me out." I told her.

"Woah….this is interesting, what did my brother say?" She asked again, applying lip gloss on her lips.

"Funny thing, he was actually there." I said and Emily stopped doing what she was doing to look at me.

I explained what really happened that day, and she just nodded in understanding.

"So he's a no go area, since he's still pining over you?" She asked and I just shrugged because I had no interest in dating him.

We got to work almost the same time we get to work everyday, only a little late because we had to say goodbye to Emily who promised to come again anytime she could.

As usual, I entered the kitchen after wearing my apron to start cooking but I saw Mr Richard already giving orders to the others….. I'm screwed.

"Sir…. I'm sorry….. I'm sorry…I…" I didn't know what else to say except apologise.

"It's fine, I just thought you deserve a little rest." He said, and I breathed in relief.

"I can do it." I argued, but he just smiled and he actually had a nice smile.

"Don't worry, now go help the others." He said, and I had no choice but to obey.

The day dragged on slowly, and I couldn't wait for it to end so I could see Michael….no offense to anyone but my world was starting to revolve around him and I wasn't sure how I felt about it.

"Can you spare me a few minutes of your time after your work hour?" Mr Richard asked, catching me off guard, which made me cough a little.

"He's old enough to be my father, he was really giving me a weird vibe and I hope it wasn't going to go sour because I needed the job seeing that it pays well." I thought.

"No problem sir." I replied, not wholeheartedly though.

After work, he told me about his son but he didn't tell me his name. He told me that his wife already planned a date for him with another girl and the son agreed but he doesn't think she's the best match for him so he wants me to go out with him.

"I'd like to, but I am kinda seeing someone." I told him, and he didn't hide the disappointment on his face.

"That's fine, I didn't know." He said.

"It's okay, and I'm sure your son knows what he wants." I told him.

"I hope so. I just want a grandchild and the same thing with my wife." He explained, and I didn't get what the rush was all about….he looked like someone in his early fifties.

"He will." I said, more relaxed that it wasn't what I was thinking.

"Thank you Precious, I'm sure your parents would be so proud of you." He said, and I offered him a sad smile.

"If only they were here, who knows?" I wanted to say, but I nodded instead.

Mr Richard released me, so I went to meet Comfort who was patiently waiting for me. I told her what he told me, and she laughed.

"I'm sure Michael would have his head if he tried it." She said, and immediately an idea came to my head.

"Michael….." I murmured, with a sly look on my face.

"What are you planning to do to the innocent boy?" She asked

"Trust me, he's far from being a boy." I said.

"I don't want to know that." She grumbled.

I smiled at her as I remembered the idea coming to me, it's not going to be fun but I want to do it.

"I'm going to mess with Michael's head, and I hope it goes as planned."
