FINALLY MET HIM

"Urgh." Josh groaned as he woke up from a terrible hangover from last night's party at his friend's house which he was forced to attend. His phone, which was on the table near his bed side, started ringing loudly.

"What?" Josh frowned as the person who forced him which led to his terrible hangover still dared to call him.

"Oh, hey bro. Are you ready yet?"

Josh became confused. "Ready for what?"

Daniel gasped dramatically which made Josh roll his eyes on the other line.

"Tsk tsk. Have you forgotten that we have an appointment with the grocery story where we wanna find a job?"

"So?" Josh asked as his head started bringing out flames because of the anger that was building up within him. After what Daniel did, he still had the guts to call him about a stupid job in a grocery store.

Daniel was suprised hearing how Josh replied to him, completely oblivious to the tone of Josh's voice. "Dude, you told me you wanted to have a job to hide your identity. I even took my time." He stressed the 'my time'. "To get this job for you and i, and now you are just saying 'so?' huh?"

"Daniel, do you know you are mad!?" Josh yelled, making Daniel move the phone away from his ear.

Josh closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before speaking. "How will i wake  up early when you forced me to drink a lot last night?"

Daniel remembered what happened last night. "Ooh, dude i'm so sorry for that. I'ts  just that i was having a lot of fun, and i wanted someone to drink with me. But still, you should have woken up early." He muttered.

"What did you say?" Josh asked as he removed his phone from his ear to look at the screen as if he was video calling Daniel.

"Nothing. Just come to my house when you are ready." He immediately disconnected the call because of how scary Josh's voice was.

"I hope he gets the job. Sigh."

Josh arrived at Daniel's house on his motorcycle. He came down looking vexed. Daniel soon came out of the house.

"B-bro." Daniel stuttered because he knew what was coming for him.

"Take me to the grocery store now, and don't talk while we are going there." He opened the door to Daniel's car and entered. Noticing Daniel was in a daze, he yelled. "Is the car going to drive itself to the place?!"  

Daniel shook because of the sudden outburst. "Ah y-yes, i'm coming." He quickly got into the car and drove off, not daring to look at Josh.

Josh and Daniel arrived at the grocery store. Daniel opened the door and a bell above the door jingled, indicating someone just entered. Daniel went to the counter to ask about the owner of the store.

"Hey please i'm looking for Mrs Williams."

The girl he was talking to did not even look at him, because she was stunned by the guy behind him. She said to herself. "I have finally met him."

"Helloo." David waved his hand accross her face.

"Oh, sorry. Mrs Williams. Yes, i will go call her. She left immediately and closed the door behind her.

She rested on the door, holding her chest that was beating way too fast. After she had calmed down, she walked a little at stopped right at the door of her boss's office and knocked lightly.

"Yes? Come in." The voice in the room answered.

Sabrina opened the door slowly which made a creak sound, and entered. "Ma'am? Someone is looking for you."

Mrs Williams raised her head. She removed her glasses and placed them on the table. "Oh, that must be Daniel. Tell him i will be with him shortly."

"Okay." she nodded and left the office. She closed the door behind her. She was too shy to come outside, but she had to deliver Mrs Williams message."

She came back to the counter and smiled at Daniel. "She will be with you shortly." She resumed staring at Josh. 'He still looks stunning.' She thought.  

Josh was quite a beauty to behold. He was mixed. His father was white, while his mother was black. He had the perfect jawline, sharp nose and inviting pink lips that even men, and women could not resist looking at. His curly hair which was beautifully styled, had some fall on his face. He had those mesmerizing ocean blue eyes which someone could drown in , because it was to beautiful. To top it all, he appeared in a killer shirt which slightly hugged his body, revealing his strong biceps. He totally ignored all the eyes and giggling voices, because he was used to all of them already.

Not long after, Mrs Williams came out. She was rendered speechless seeing Josh's appearance. Josh stood straight as he was leaning against the counter. She couldn't help but ask. "Sir, what do you want to buy?"

Daniel couldn't help but chuckle. "He is the one i told you about. He wants to work here."

Mrs Williams gaped at her stunning future employee. "Oh my. This young man wants to work for me?"

When Sabrina heard this, her heart stopped beating for a second. How would she be able to concentrate?

Josh looked at Daniel confused, as to why he said only he wants to work when they are the ones that came to look for the job together. Daniel noticing this, averted his gaze immediately and gave him a signal that he will talk to him later.

"Oh,he is the one? That is good because i have been looking for amother person to help my poor Sabrina here."

"Yes ma'am i am ready to work. I can even work immediately." Josh said as he was still looking at Daniel. 

 Mrs Williams laughed. "Of course you are hired. Your good looking face will brfing a lot of customers for me." They all laughed except for Sabrina, whose heart skipped a beat, seeing how Josh laughed. His perfect white set of teeth, made him more good looking.

'God, save me.' She prayed inwardly.

Mrs Williams continued. "Daniel had already given me your details, and i must say, your performance in high school and college was outstanding." She said, feeling impressed.

"Thank you ma'am." Josh said, feeling a little bit proud of himself.

She placed her arm on his shoulder and looked at him lovingly like the way a mother would and Josh felt unknowingly good, since he never experienced it.

" My dear, i hope you don't mind the pay because..."

"It's okay ma'am." Josh smiled. "Half bread is better than none."

"That pay is not even up to his boxers." Daniel muttered and chuckled.

"Did you say something Daniel?" Mrs Williams asked.

He came out from his thoughts. "Ah no no,carry on." He found Josh glaring at him. He knew Josh heard him.

Mrs Williams gasped when she suddenly remembered something. "Didn't you attend the same college as Josh, Sabrina?"

Sabrina who was quietly looking at Josh, came out of her world. "Ah y-yes i did." Josh looked at her and tried to remember where he had seen her, but he couldn't remember. Little did he know that his gaze on her was making Sabrina turn crimson. 

'Please look away, please.' To her satisfaction, he did look away. She sighed in relief.

She didn't know if she should be happy or sad that he was going to work with her. First, her long time love was going to work with her, she was going to see him everyday. But on the other hand, how was she going to concentrate?. Mrs Williams interrupted her thoughts.

"Okay then Josh. Since Sabrina is working on the counter, you will offload the goods and place them in each section and arrange them. I will also come sometimes to help okay?" 

"Yes ma'am." He smiled, but Sabrina didn't see him this time. "Can i start now?" 

Mrs Williams laughed seeing his enthusiasm. "Of course my dear. i'm glad you decided to start now."

"Thank you. Where shall i begin." He looked around the big store.

"Oh yes. Go straight and turn to your left. You will see two boxes, they contain kitchen wares and household cleaners. Arrange them on the shelf."

"Okay, i will do that now." Saying that, he left three of them to do his job.

Mrs Williams turned to Daniel. "Thank you for bringing him. He will do well."

"You are welcome ma'am. I will be taking my leave now, my work here is done." With that, he nodded and left.

Mrs Williams looked at Sabrina and smiled before she went back to her office.

Sabrina sighed as she sat down and saw Josh's face appear in her mind. "I'm finished, urgh!"
