I woke up feeling so tired due to the previous assignment given to me by my boss. I was on my laptop all through the night as I needed to finish up before weekend so I can have time to rest. I don't like working myself up on weekends as I always set the day aside to clean up my messy room and get to buy one or two things at the supermarket, a thirty minutes drive from my home. Thank God I had a car of my own.

Oh sorry! Let me introduce myself. I am Bisi, a 25 year old lady, graduate of University of Ibadan in Banking and Finance with a first class certificate. Still very single but not desperate to have a relationship. I just ended up a "not so good" relationship with Ben since he wasn't serious with me. Always going from one skirt to another. Geez I don't want such toxic relationship for myself. I have got a well to do Job in one of the biggest banks in Nigeria. So, I don't care of any relationship as I need to focus on my career first.

It's weekend and all thanks to God I was able to finish up with the data collection my boss gave to me. That man just like adding more fuel to my already made fire. What a fucking boss! He is a workaholic and want me to join in the train but I am just too lazy. What has laziness got to do in a banking system. Don't mind me, I just want to have all the fun to myself alone. I don't have any friends. No, I just don't want any. They are just a distraction to me. So I had rather stay on my lane for the rest of my life.

So, I cleaned up the whole room, took my bath, took my car keys to start the drive to the supermarket. I only wore a skimpy light dress with my high heel shoes, my hair were rough, *"I don't care"*. I just need to take some things and then return back home. I got to the supermarket. "*Hi ma, you are welcome to Joyce and Royce supermarket".* I waved at the security with a smile and took a basket to start picking those items I need. It took me about 15 minutes to get my things and went to the cashier to pay my bills. The lady collected the basket and was offloading all into a customized Joyce and Royce nylon. *"How much is my bill?"* I said. Ma'am, someone already paid for you. I pretended not to hear her, removed my ATM card and handed it to her. Someone already paid for these items. Then I knew she was talking to me, I just wanted to be sure.

And who paid my bills? She, pointing at the direction, he paid. I looked at the young guy from head to toe, sorry! I am not too proud, I just want to be myself and no one should try to come in my ways. Looking at him, yes, he is handsome, nice stature. Should I say he is my type of man? No, I still hold on to my words that I don't need any relationship for now. I walked up to the gentle guy. Hey! I was told you paid for my Items. Thank you! I walked away with my goods. As I was opening the car door, he came to me and said *"Hi miss, I am sorry to barge on you. I see you as a nice and beautiful lady. Can I get your contact please?"* "Don't tell me you actually did paid for these Items so as to get my attention? Is it?" I asked. Okay, take them and I would go in there, but my things and pay for myself. Why do you guys think paying for a lady is a way to gain their attention?. Do I care like I needed someone to talk to? Excuse me, I have got a lot to do.

He was staring at me and I was just about to enter into my car when he said something that actually caught my attention to give him a little time. *I don't mean to act in such a way, I just wish I could get the attention of a beautiful angel. I didn't pay for those Items to walk up to you, I only see you as a nice and mature lady.* The voice melt my heart. Such a cool and manly voice. He seems to be really serious with me with those pitiable eyes he was using to look at me. Actually, It was the "mature" of a thing that made me stop and allow him get my time. We gisted for few minutes and the next thing was exchanging numbers. And that was all. Thanks for reading. Thanks for reading my story 🤗 |July 15, 2021|
