I was in my office reminiscence on how well I and Stella clicked, that was last week but I still couldn’t stop thinking about that day. After my boring investment talks with Victor which surprisingly was not boring to Stella, I learnt that she was a business management student and also not as bitchy as she had acted, she did have her moments when her character threatened my patience but she did apologized later and we spent a wonderful time together. And she also chose to call it a non-date, that girl is very hard headed and that was what was keeping me interested in her.
Her stubborn attitude has it’s uses because I think if she had been like every other girl, she won’t be in my passing thought but she somehow got hold of my thought process and I couldn’t even think of Tomi as usual which was a first in history because I had always thought about that girl.
Networking“Tell me you are joking. Kola, I am supposed to start my I.T next two weeks at Ojo and sons ventures.” I raged stomping around in Kola office showing my disagreement with his decision. “You cannot change it with a snap of your fingers.”“Yes I can’t do that but I can with a phone call.” Kola replied as I sent a glare his way, my glares seem to have stopped working because he just still look at me with his calm face on. “Come here babe.” Kola adds as I glared more at him.“No, I don’t want to be with arms reach of you, I might rip your hand off and beat you with it.” I retorted and Kola just smiled at me, it has been two months since we first met and we are still friends or I think we both know that we are more than friends already, we already act like we are dating but I wasn’t so certain about my reply if he does ask me out, I think h
“So is your rich and well connected boyfriend picking you today?” Jess, a girl who works at the company Kola placed me in, said spitefully.“I have told you that he is not my boyfriend.” I sighed, she will just continue to attack me, and she hates the fact that I didn’t work as hard as she and her friend did to get a job here, well the rumors said she slept with one of the senior officers in charge of recruitment to give her and her friend acceptance letter but then an order came from the owner of the company that I am to be placed on the team so her friend was dropped.“So friends with benefits then. All these girls that won’t keep their legs closed and using their bodies to get to places where the rest of us got with our brains.” Jess said a little too loudly as the rest of the students who were sharing an office with
I didn’t lie when I said that me and Stella are just friend but that word has been ringing in my head and it felt wrong, I even started to feel more out of place when Kevin handed his personal card to Stella, the only reason why I didn’t punch Kevin for that bold move was because I knew Stella will never use the card for anything other than the business.“What’s wrong? You have been quiet since we entered your car.” Stella glanced at me.“Nothing.” I replied as my mind races for an excuse, Stella is like a dog with a bone, she won’t let go until she is satisfied with the answer which was given.“You need to learn how to lie better my dear.” Stella repeated the words I said to her barel
“You do know that you are not supposed to outshine the celebrants.” I teased Stella as she entered my car. Her lace material fitted her shape to perfection and at the same time it wasn’t too much. Her face had minimal make up but still highlighted her soft features, I already felt proud that she was going to be on my arm today.“Shut up” She turned her head away from me embarrassed.“Honestly though, I think my mother will not be too angry since you will be on the arm of her son. You are beautiful.”“Thank you, you are not so bad yourself. Your Abgada look nice.” Stella complimented me too
I knew my place with Kola was not solid enough to be making mouth at Tomi who has been his best friend for years but I was pissed, that girl had hurt Kola, granted before I met him but she still had to act like she is the most important person in his life. She might be but I was betting on me being special enough to Kola for him to tolerate me and he did. That alone gave me joy, I was ignored by the other ladies in the party, Tomi even had the audacity to introduce Cynthia, Kola ex girl friend to me and I had to bite my lips as I watched as Cynthia tried to flirt with Kola. The guy was just acting dense and as usual, it was endearing to me but I was tired of watching a lady fling herself at my boyfriend while the girl who introduces herself as Kola best friend to others was actively trying to make me look like a fool.
I was a little bit upset after Tomi words even if I didn’t let her see it and I acted way more bitchy to Kola than usual so that was why the next day, I took a cab to Kola’s house after church, he had given me his key a while ago so I could let myself in, I was in the middle of cooking when Kola opened his door and saw me.“Hmm” he folded his hand across his chest as he waited for my explanation.“The food is almost ready. I wanted to cook for you.” I said foregoing the apology which I should have started with.“Is it poisoned?” Kola asked and when I glared at him he continued. “Believe me that is expected because with the way you were acti
It was almost another weekend when I found something troubling, my day started out normal with me exchanging insults with Jess and greeting the boss when he dropped in to say hi, he has been doing that since on Monday but today was less flirty than other times maybe because I finally told Kola yesterday how Kevin actions was making me feel. I wouldn’t put it pass Kola to call Kevin and ask Kevin to take good care of me since I am now his girlfriend, all to show Kevin that I am off the market.My day was still normal then, even after lunch which I had with another intern, the only one whom I warmed up to maybe because I knew he was just too intelligent and it would be a waste if I don’t form a connection to with him. We have been hanging out for lunch breaks now while Kola will pick me up after closing, take me to dinner and then drop me off at home
When my secretary called, saying Tomi was waiting for me in outside my office. I was dumbfounded, what was she doing here? My first reaction was to smile and welcome her in, my second was to remember that even though my feelings for this girl was still there, nothing would ever happen between us and my girlfriend was a big reason why I shouldn’t entertain any thoughts about Tomi that was not strictly in the friends zone.“Send her in.” I finally said then leaned back into my seat and waited for Tomi to enter my office.“It took you your sweet time to answer me.” Tomi grumbled as she dropped into a chair opposite mine.“Why have a seat.” I said sarcasti
