He was still as handsome and breathtaking she remembered, looking so hot in his worn out Jean trousers and a blue T-shirt with the store's logo printed atop, Sara couldn't take her blinking eyes off him.
"Hey love!" he said again and Sara whose mind was far off, shaked her head wearily and cleared her voice.
"Wait you guys know each other from somewhere or something, ermmmm, Oh my God, Christian is she the girl you have been telling me about, the one you have been going on and on about, the one who has also been the cause of your sleepless nights lately." Daniel asked his face lighting up like a kid being offered his favorite candy.
"Oh shut up for God's sake!" Christian muttered quietly, his friend was definitely going to put him in trouble.
"Hey, em how are you doing." Sara said at last, he had feared that she was not going to reply him, and was surprised and also elated when she finally did.
"Aren't you going to introduce us, ummm, Miss Sara." her friend inquired suggestively winking at him.
He made of to do the introductions himself, when Sara signalled him to stop whilst raising her cute little fingers at his face.
"I'll do the introductions myself, before you begin with your signatory handshake, Well, Christian meet my best friend Ariel, and vice-versa minus the friend." Sara said laughing quietly.
God she was so gorgeous, her laughter lighting up the whole place and breaking the almost chilled silent atmosphere forming already.
He couldn't get thoughts of kissing those pert pink full lips over and over again, of laying her down on a comfy spot, doing unmentionable things to her
Removing all illicit thoughts from his head, and trying hard not to lose focus, Christian introduced Daniel his friend to Ariel, they exchanged pleasantries and held hands for a long time, the way he was looking at her, it seemed he had already taken a liking to her.
Smiling to himself, Christian turned to face Sara and said- .....
"So we meet again, what actually brought you, or the both of you girls to the store rather, want to purchase something, pick anything, Bills on me alright."
********
Stunned, Sara's eyes bulged outwardly 'Bills on him', was he really serious, she turned to face Ariel to gauge her reaction, but her friend was already busy replying him, oh God.
Staring dumbfoundedly and lost not even knowing what to say to him she heard Ariel reply, "Bills on you, wow what a real gentleman, but that's not why we are here okay, we are here for something very important, so can I go on?"
Nodding his head Christian answered her, "Yes, you can go on."
"Okay, thanks so much, well you know the signboard you guys placed outside?"
"Signboard, what signboard." Daniel asked.
"The one advertising the job vacancy for the post of a sales girl or boy." Ariel answered.
Christian's eyebrows perked up as if he had an inkling as to what they wanted to ask for, but not letting his thoughts cloud his judgement, he asked, "Yeah, are you guys looking for a vacancy for someone or..?"
He stopped halfway deciding to listen to her but Sara spoke up.
"Yeah, actually, it's something of that sort, but we are actually looking for the position for ourselves, and as you can see we are not qualified, you know in the job requirements you listed that...." Sara was still talking when Ariel interrupted.
"Oh God, Sara fucking shut the hell up, don't mind her or listen to any word she utters from her mouth, you see, we are not eligible quite alright as my friend here said, but we are reliable to do this job, any pay whether big or small is acceptable, we really need it, and we will be glad if you can employ one of us."
She had a sassy and loud mouthed friend, that was for sure.
Sara sighed and said "You see, we are just 16, first of all and the advertisement outside read 18 years of age, and you also need an high school certificate, which we also don't have, as we are not yet done with schooling."
"For you, I would do anything." Christian replied.
'He would do anything' what did that even mean, Sara looked up at his enchanting blue eyes, she could drown in them and she laughed shyly, she knew she was blushing already but she didn't care.
"You would do anything for me, heh and what does that even mean if I may ask?" she asked.
"The job is yours already." Christian replied looking serious.
Christian was in a trance, he couldn't believe that he was actually talking to the girl of his dreams, the girl he had already mapped out his future with, he could already imagine their future together, her belly swollen with their kids, who were going to have his eyes and her beautiful caramel doused skin color.'What was wrong with him?' He had never had this animal urge to protect someone or something so strongly as he felt now, the enthralling desire to marry her, put a ring on her cute fingers, mark her as he is, love her till eternity, spoil her with gifts and affection and treat her like a queen.All this was just so foreign and strange to him, this was actually the first time he had thought about a girl like this, to the extent of even thinking of marriage at this young age."Man, you've already left this place, what are you thinking about?" Daniel asked waving at him.
Her eyes bulged open, staring right back at him, she replied."What did you just say? I, I should go on a date with you?"To say she was stunned was an understatement, this was the first time a boy, an handsome one at that and one she really liked was asking her out, she was dumbfounded and tempted to accept his request immediately, but something in her compelled her to hold back and give him a tough time.Looking up shyly, she opened her lips to say something when he countered her by raising his large strong hands up in a bid to silence her."Yes, and i am not taking no for an answer, love." he said again cutting her off unexpectedly."And what if I say no, yes I do not want to go on a date with you, what are you going to do about it, ayyyy?"**********&
An hour later, Sara and Ariel were back at the orphanage home after an eventful but stressful day, Sara had told her friend Ariel about the date, and that Christian had already been told her that she could start work, in 2 weeks time and she was delighted.After accepting the date invitation they had exchanged phone numbers, with Christian promising to call or text her the venue of the date.Still giddy and in euphoria, Sara could still not believe the event that led to them meeting that day.After they got back, they had gone straight to their rooms, showered, changed their clothes and had promised to meet each other up at the orphanage's garden for some late evening talks, to relax and to also read for their tests on Monday.Taking her bath, and putting on a white t-shirt and shorts knickers, Sara strolled down the hallway with her bags on cloud nine, as she kept thinking of Christian, and the even
"Mummy, Christian is back!" screamed Kevin, Christian's younger brother and the last born of the house.Christian had worked tirelessly today at work, he had decided to do overtime, cause he wanted to get more cash to take Sara to a very nice place.His budget at hand would only treat them to a cheap dinner at a local restaurant, and he wanted more than that for her.Thinking of her brought happiness and peace to his soul and made him forget about all the stress, he had gone through at the construction site today."Welcome home, son." His mother greeted while collecting his bag. It never stopped to amaze him how doting his mother was, always trying to take care of him as if he was her husband, anytime he came back from work, she would collect his things, serve him food and made sure he took his bath quickly.He
Christian couldn't sleep, he had already gotten enough money to take Sara on a date, he had booked a fancy restaurant just outside of town, and he couldn't wait to tell her he had gotten a venue for their date.Everything was set, they were going to have a romantic candle lit dinner at a restaurant overlooking the beach, go sight seeing, and he had even rented a boat that he was going to ride with her that night, he had gone all out and all well, he wanted to make the night a memorable one, all that was left was to call her and tell her about it.He couldn't wait to see her lovely face again, but there was a minor problem, he had been trying her cell number since in the afternoon at work, but she hadn't been picking up, later having the thought that she might be at school, he stopped and resolved to call her in the evening.After unsuccessfully dialing her number, after taking his dinner without her picking up again, Chr
Christian was shocked by the silence he heard on the side of the line, he said again thinking she hadn't him."Sara love, did you hear me?" he asked."Ummmm, yes, yes I did, I didn't think the date would be so soon, you know, I was just......... ermmmm, never mind." she answered."What is it, tell me, I don't like all this talks that never gets finished, talk to me, you accepted to go on a date with me, and it's up to me to get a suitable place for us to go on a nice date, right? Which i have done, or don't you want to go out with me any longer?" he asked sounding frantic."Christian what do you want from me?" she asked and he was stunned, she had answered his question with a question, this had not been what he had expected her to say in the least, he had thought she would be delighted, and they would have proceeded to know a little bit of themselves this night before the date, but it seemed hi
Ariel was starting work today and Sara was so delighted and happy for her friend, although she had not been lucky or fruitful in her own job search, she was still elated."Sara does this t-shirt match my jeans?" Ariel asked and Sara laughed."My dear, you are going to work and not to some fashion parade, where everyone is going bro compliment your outfit or vice versa, just wear anything that fits you and off you go, and have you also forgotten that you are going to change into the store's uniform, or wait are you trying to impress someone?" Sara asked her friend winking at her suggestively."Oh please, cut the crap, can't a girl just look good for once ehhhh." Ariel replied chuckling loudly.Sara thanked God for the day the she met Ariel, she did not know how she would have gone this far without her lovely friend by her side."Whatever, meanwhile there's something you'll do for
Sara was excited, she had just gotten a job at a nightbar downtown as a waitress.Although she had not met the requirements for the job, she had to print a CV, and increased her age by 2, she thanked God for her amazing stature, as the manager in charge of the bar, had not doubted her and had immediately given her the job.She was to start work the following Monday, and she was given night shifts with a nice pay of 15 dollars per hour, she was so delighted and couldn't wait to tell Ariel the news.She sat on her bed in her room, trying to arrange her hair as she wanted to take her bath and prepare for dinner, when she heard a knock on the door.Looking at her roomies, lively 16 year old girls just like her, Sara faced the mirror by her bedside, ignoring the knock and continued to comb her hair, suddenly the door was pushed opened and she heard someone calling her name.Turning to
