CONCENTRATE SABRINA!

As soon as they alighted from the bus, Sabrina didn't want Josh to leave so soon. "Goodnight Josh." 

"Hey it's dark. let me walk you home." Josh offered. "My house is near. We are going in the same direction."

Sabrina was very happy. Her insides were screaming with joy. "Okay, thanks." Her face turned crimson.

"No problem." He smirked seeing her cute face. Luckily for Sabrina, everywhere was dark so he couldn't see her red cheeks.

Sabrina and Josh reached the front of her house. Josh looked at the small cozy building which was painted in cream colour with a little garden beside the house. 'Her house is as cute as her.' He immediately cleared his throat and shoved the thoughts away. "I will be leaving now, okay?"

Sabrina nodded. "Yes. Thanks for following me home." She went inside through the gate and looked back to still see him standing there. She waved at him. "Goodnight."

He waved back and said."Goodnight." After she went inside, he walked home. "She really looks familiar. I just can't remember."

As soon as Sabrina closed the door, she started squealing. "Is this real? I think i am dreaming. I wonder why he doesn't like hanging around girls. She gasped. "but he likes talking to me." She opened her eyes wide in realisation. "Does that mean..no no i'm thinking way ahead. He can't just like me like that, no." 

She went to her and took a shower before collapsing on her bed because she was really tired. She couldn't even sleep because sleep had already taken over.

As Josh arrived home, he was startled to see Daniel watching the television and happily eating chocolate chips. He tiptoed to where Daniel was and the guy didn't even notice when he came in. He stood right behind Daniel and smacked his head.

"Ahh! Ghost! Ghost!." Daniel jumped up from the chair and immediately ran to the kitchen without looking back, to get a knife. Josh leaned on the couch to watch his best friend's madness. 

As Daniel ran out to check the 'ghost.' He saw Josh staring at him with his lips pursed, trying to stifle his laughter. 

"Josh, were you the one that hit me?" He started massaging the back of his head.

Josh frowned and pointed behind Daniel. "No! It's the ghost behind you look!" 

"Ahh!" Daniel screamed his lungs out and ran behind Josh, holding his pants. Josh sighed and pushed him away. He bursted into laughter, forgetting the reason why he smacked him.

"Bro, why did you hit me like that?". Josh remembered the reason and stopped laughing. Hs face immediately became dark. Daniel gulped at the sight of Josh and started to walk away slowly.

Josh chuckled. He couldn't get angry with Daniel for a long time. "You are lucky your silly attitude stops me from getting angry at you all the time. That slap is for making me drink a lot last night, and lying to me about we both getting a job at the store. I hate lies you know."

Daniel scoffed. "Bro i suffered to get it, and why will i also waste my time working there when i own a pharmacy and i get a nice payment from you also duh." 

 Josh furrowed his eyebrows. "You don't even really work for me..okay then, you are fired." Josh left Daniel dumbfounded. His feet stuck to the ground. As Josh went to the kitchen, he heard a terrible sound of wailing. He smiled and went outside, but he pulled a poker face. 

Daniel knelt down in front of Josh. "Please forgive me bro. Don't fire meeee... huuuu." He fell down dramatically.

Josh was amazed at the silly way his friend was trying to beg him. "leave me, i was just joking." 

On hearing this, Daniel stood upand dried the fake tears from his eyes. he grabbed Josh's hand  and kissed it multiple times.

Josh was disgusted by what Daniel did. He retracted his hand and cleaned it on Daniel's shirt. "Eew gross! Are you crazy Daniel?" He looked at him in amusement wondering how he ever got to know him.

Daniel noticed his expression and giggled. "Bro you are stuck with me for life okay?" He picked his coat from the couch and readied himself to leave. "I'm going bro. See you tomorrow." He blew a kiss to Josh who immediately shoved it off his face.

"Silly Goat." Josh sighed and went to his room.

After having his bath, he laid down on his bed as he was also exhausted. He had never worked so hard like that before. Carrying heavy things, it wasn't easy." He stared at the ceiling still trying to remember where he had seen Sabrina before. "She looks so familiar." After a long time, he drifted to sleep.

The next day as Sabrina was already leaving her house to go to work. She saw Josh from afar. "Should i call him?" She decided not to for her not tgo behave weird around him. She quickly turned and started walking ahead for him not to notice her but unfortunately, Josh already saw her.

"Hey Sabrina!"

"Oh no." She turned back and saw him smiling as he was walking towards her. "Good morning Josh." She greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning miss." He bowed like a complete gentleman. 

Sabrina chuckled seeing what he did. "Do you have to be formal this early morning."

"You are a lady so i have to be a gentleman also." He placed his hand on his chest and the other behind his waist, looking like a fancy guy.

Sabrina stared at him with her eyes full of love and longing. "So, how are you seeing the job?Is it stressful?" 

"Nope it's not. Mrs Williams is very nice and you are cool to. I have a friend now apart from Daniel."

"Who is it?" She asked, feeling sad he considered Mrs Wiliams as a friend instead of her.

He looked at her and ruffled her hair. "It's you duhh." 

She was screaming inside with joy. 'OMG! I'm his friend!' "Really? Oh i'm too good." She patted her back proudly. 

He laughed seeing what she did. "Yeah you cool. i just don't know why i'm comfortable around you." He sighed. "You know, i was cold to girls in schoool. If i had met you then, i would have known you for a long time. 

Sabrina smiled. 'You knew me and even touched me that night.' She wanted to say it to him, but she knew she could'nt. At least, not yet. "At least you know me now." She smiled until her eyes turned crescents.

"Why are you so cute?" He ruffled her hair again.

"Ah stop. I took time to look this pretty. She arranged her bangs he scattered.

He chuckled at her answer. "Okay sorry."

Sabrina was very happy with the way things were going on between she and Josh. They spoke to each other about a lot of things until they reached the store.

Mrs Williams who saw them coming together, through the glass door, smiled. They saw her looking at them, smiling.

"Why is she smiling like that?" Sabrina was confused.

"Maybe she won a lottery?" Josh said also looking confused. 

As they opened the door, Mrs Williams greeted them both. "Good morning both of you."

"Good morning ma'am." They both greeted her back in unison.

"I'm glad that my workers are getting to know each other. It will bring peace and harmony in the work place." 

Sabrina and Josh exchanged glances and smiiled. Josh turned to look at Mrs Williams. "Don' worry ma'am, because there will always be peace and harmony, we promise."

"Yes ma'am." Sabrina assured Mrs Williams.

After they talked for a while, Mrs Williams went back to her office. Josh went to arrange the foodstuffs at the back and as usual, some kadies were hitting on him. Sabrina found it hard to work because she couldn't keep her mind off the women that always went to meet him, they tried to touch him. which he always tried to avoid.

'Concentrate Sabrina!' She shook her head but she just couldn't. "Urgh! Concentrate, concentrate." She picked up a magazine and started going through it.
