"Let me sing a song for you" Clemy takes a guitar from the back of his chair.
"Do you keep guitars there?" I ask him confused as she shakes his head.
"No,can I start singing?" He asks as I nod.
"Look at beautiful eyes,they're so magical and beautiful eyes" he starts with his beautiful voice as I smile then he continues
"When I look at your eyes I see the beauty there,when I look at your eyes I get lost in there,I can see your beautiful eyes making me fall for you. I think I've fallen for them,oh your beautiful eyes are all I see when I look you,I think ——" he stops then smiles.
"I think I should stop there" he pauses facing his wristwatch then continues facing me
"I mean, it's late already, it's 7:40 pm,when do you want to go if not now?" He stands up as I face the wall clock.
"Oh my gosh,it's 7:40" I tell him almost shouting.
"I'll drop you home" he looks at me with so much concern in his eyes"so you won't have an accident, it's getting late and I won't want anything bad to happen to you"
"OK,you can take me home but uhm,nothing" I smile as he gives me his right hand then I accept it.
"Thanks"
We both go out of his house then he takes me to his beautiful red car as he opens the front door for me to enter then I accept and let go of his hand entering the car.
He enters too then sits down as he puts the key in then turns the key as the car starts then he drives.
"Drive carefully" I warn him softly more interested on the road.
"Come on,you can't teach me how to drive, I learnt how to drive, I have a drivers license" he chuckles as I face him then I inhale.
"You're so weird" I tell him as he smiles.
"Should we have some coffee in a restaurant?" He asks me but I don't feel comfortable with the idea but since he's my friend I just have to accept it as a friend.
"OK" I smile as he turns the car and stops at a restaurant.
I stand up from the car then he does the same too as the both of us enter the restaurant together.
We sit down on a seat close to the entry as a waiter quickly comes to accompany us.
"Welcome to l'food restaurant, what would you like to order?" The waitress asks me as I smile.
"Give me some blunt,just blunt" I tell her as she faces Clemy.
"And you sir?" She asks him.
"Give me some blunts and orange juice with a cup of milk." Clemy tells the waitress as she walks away.
"Why did you order so much?" I ask him forgetting what he always tell me.
"This isn't lot of money,you know money isn't a problem for me" he tells me as I frown.
"You always tell me that" I tell him as he chuckles.
The waitress comes with what we ordered and she gives us.
We eat without talking or looking at each other just facing our food.
We finish eating and go out of the restaurant.
We walk to his car as he opens the front door for me to enter and I accept it. He enters too and starts the car.
"Why are you behaving weird to me?" He asks me looking at the road.
"Behaving weird,what do you mean by that?" I ask him knowing what he meant.
"The way you were behaving when we were in the restaurant, you didn't even talk to me" he tells me already looking at me.
"Well it's because I don't think the way we're friends it can go further,cause every one thinks we're dating" I admit to him as he laughs.
"Come on,when did you start to care about what people say already?" He asks me as I look confused.
"If you know in your heart that we're not doing anything bad so why would you care about what others say? Just forget what the society says and focus on your future." He advises me as I bite my lips.
"So do you mean I should not care about what others say or what the society says?" I ask him as he laughs. "Why are you laughing?." I ask him really confused.
"You behave like a child sometimes." He tells me as I laugh.
"You know,you're right,I do behave like a child." I tell him as he looks at me and I'm sure he'll be confused.
"What do you mean?." He asks me.
"I do behave like a child,fighting with Josie and now thinking about the society, I do behave like a child." I smile as he giggles.
"Yes you're right,you're my little child,don't worry,I would make you happy." We both laugh.
"OK daddy,I would like to buy chocolate" I tell him like a child causing him to laugh.
"You are so beautiful to be a child" he tells me and I feel he's right, before my mom died she always told me I was very cute when I was a child.
"You're right,my mom always told me before she died that I was so beautiful and cute." I tell him smiling.
"Really?" He asks me looking surprised.
I look at the road.
"Oh my God! Look at the road!." I shout seeing he's about to hit a lorry.
He drives to any direction then stops at a particular road as we both laugh.
*********
I think Josie would not be happy without me by her side. She doesn't know she can't do with out me. I would not go back to apologize to her.
I remember what Clemy told me.
"Clemy was right,I am really behaving like a child" I tell my self angry at myself.
"Why do I want to destroy my home? Why can't I just apologize to her and we can live a happy life? I should listen to Clemy and apologize to Josie, I should forgive her and forget about what she did and if she does not want to listen to me,I would tell her exactly what Clemy told me" I hold the remote and turn on the TV and it's on the news channel.
I change the channel to an American show.
"I now know why Clemy likes watching American show, it's interesting" I smile as I continue watching the show.
"This was the show Clemy was watching when I went to his house and it's interesting, when I watched it in Clemy's place I made up my mind that I'm going to watch the rest when I get home"
"I will apologize to Josie tomorrow, there's a song that says 'don't wait until tomorrow starts tonight,it starts tonight'" I chuckle remembering the song from The greatest showman.
"I like that show it's a good and educative show" I smile as I continue watching the TV.
My phone rings then I take it from the couch, it's Clemy,I do not know when a bright smile fall on my lips. I answer the call.
"Hello,Clement" I rub my lips together as I can hear him chuckle.
"Hi,hello." I can hear him hit his kegs on the ground but I don't say anything. I just jeep thinking,he's a good guy anyone would be lucky to marry him,he can never make any girl regret marrying him.
"Hello,hello,can you hear me?" He asks me snapping me from my thoughts.
"Yes yes I can hear you" I smile.
"OK,have you told her?" He asks me.
"Told who?" I ask him confused.
"I just asked you, or were you thinking and not listening?" E asks me as I can hear him sigh.
"No no I was listening to you" I lie to him.
"So did you tell her?" He asks me again.
"Who? I mean yes I did" I lie again already feeling guilty.
"So did she accept?" He asks me another question which makes my brain turn upside down.
"Who? I mean No,I mean" I run out of words.
"What happened?" He asks me softly which makes me feel guilty.
"OK,I admit,I'm lying" I confess quickly as I sigh.
"What are you lying about?" He asks me which makes me feel sad for him.
"I was lying to you,I did not listen to anything you were saying" I admit to him then hear him chuckle.
"Why are you chuckling?" I ask him looking sad and angry.
"You could have told me that before you silly girl then I could have told you everything" he replies me making me smile.
"OK now tell me what you told me the few minutes ago" I order him as I hear him laugh causing me to laugh also.
"I asked you if you had gone to meet Josie and if she accepted but you silly girl you were not listening, what were you thinking of? Your boyfriend" I hear him laughs causing me to laugh also.
"You're so funny" I tell him.
"OK,so did you go? And what did she say? Did she accept?" He asks me causing me to sigh.
"I did not go meet her,I made up my mind to tell her tomorrow" I tell him.
"Oh my God!" I hear him scream.
"Hello,hello,hello" I call but no one respond as I look at my phone and he's hang up.
"Hello Clemy, what happened? Why aren't you talking to me?" I ask Kelvin still on the phone.I hang up.I run to my room and carry my bag on the bed and run out of the house."Cab!." I cry after seeing a cab making mereally afraid for Clemy then it stops in front of me causing me to enter it and he drives away."Drive faster!." I shout at the driver looking at my phone and trying Clemy's number but it's switched off."Please Madam it's illegal to drive very fast and crazy." He warns me."Hey,I did not say you should drive recklessly, I only said you should drive quickly you're the one who thought in your mind that you want to drive recklessly so don't blame me." I warn the driver as he continues driving shivering.The cab stops at Clemy's place causing me to run out of the cab so I can get there as quick as possible. I pay the cab man money then he drives away.I knock at the do
"No, Anna just don't joke for I'm not joking." I sniff."Are you crying?." She asks me making me realize I was too loud when I sniff in even though I was crying."No,I'm not." I lie to her clearing a drop of tears already on my left cheek." Let's forget about that and focus on the future,well let me tell you why I called you.""Why'd you call me?." Anna asks."Well I tried Josie's number but she didn't answer my call so I think I would like to come to your house." I scratch my neck with my long fingernails."With, you're missing Josie right?." She asks me as I smile but I'm sure she won't know."Oh yes I miss her,I can't do without my big sister,she's my best friend and I'd like to talk to her,it's important." I sigh then continues."I just hope after
******"Josie you're so funny." Clemy tells Josie and laughs again."The funny part of it was I eventually got grounded." Josie tells Clemy and the both of them laugh.I am not part of their talk because I was there when it was all happening and she's told me over and over again and I don't get the reason why it's funny,it's so boring."Oh Clemy let me tell you the story of when I first learnt how to drive but I didn't really know how to drive and I hit a man." Josie starts then Clemy sits like he's interested then Josie continues"That time my mom and Dad had died so I was looking for money to take care of my little sister Babe,I then decided to learn how to drive,I began to drive cars and paid a man money to teach me,the last money I had,I learnt how to drive for that month but was not a good driver,the next month he asked me for money which I didn't have so I quit.I decided to be a driver
**** "Cab!." I cry out as a cab stops at my front then I look at the man inside the car its a black American.I enter the car with so much excitement. Oh my,I have gotten a job,this is the first job I'm ever getting in my life well not my first job but my first company job but I've done a lot of jobs like cooking, house maid, waitress, selling and so many like that but the one that I worked as a waitress was not in a big restaurant, it was just in a local little shop,now I've gotten a company job and I'll be paid $10,000."Madam,please where am I going to?." The cab driver asks me snapping me from my thoughts."I've been waiting here for over three minutes and you haven't told me where we're going to." The cab driver reminds then I check the time and he's wrong we've been here for over five minutes."I'm so sorry,I was lost in thought." I quickly confess to him."OK,just be driving straight then I'll tell you when we should go left or right."
* "She was behaving so weird, I'm telling the truth." I tell Clemy who doesn't believe me."Are you sure? Or was she just playing with you?." Clemy asks me looking serious."No, she was not just playing with me,she looked serious." I tell him."OK,so what do you think could have caused Josephine to behave that way?." Clemy asks me but I don't have an answer."Clemy,I just want to forget about that matter and talk about another matter." I tell him almost sad."OK." He tells me smiling."Oh, Clemy, I've good news." I remember what I told Josie."What's the good news?." He asks me as I smile."Well, I've gotten a new job." I tell him jumping up."Really?." He asks me looking really happy then I sit down."And it's a company job.""Really?.""Yes." I smile well I know it won't be so shocking for him that it's a company job because he's worked as a CEO of a company but he still seems happy for me more than Jos
"Mr Kelvin." Mia whispers to my ear."Who is this girl?." Kelvin asks Mai who looks down."Sir she's your new secretary." Mai replies Kelvin smiling."My new secretary?." He asks her then sighs. "Welcome to this company,you'll love it." He assures me causing an unexpected smile on my lips."Thanks." I thank him really happy that he just assured me I'm going to enjoy his company.I go back to my office and sit on the black chair.What can I do? I don't know what to do, no one told me what to do, well I'll just go meet Kelvin for my first file to fill.I stand up from my chair and go to his office without knocking."Kelvin." I call him then he faces me without smiling."Who are you?." He asks me looking surprised to see me."I'm your new secretary sir." I remember that I called him Kelvin instead of Mr Kelvin.
******* "Thanks for the ride sir." I walk out of Mr Kelvin's beautiful pink car and enter my house as he drives away.I see Josie as soon as I enter my house."Who's the man?." Josie asks me quickly before I could say anything."Who?." I ask her also confused."The man that just drove the car that you came out from, I didn't see his face but I know he's a man.""Oh, he's my boss....""You better not." She warns me even though I don't know why she's warning me when I didn't do anything."What should I not do?." I ask her really shocked at why she'd just tell me not to do something."Don't cheat on Clemy." She replies me looking really serious."Cheat Clemy, I don't love Clemy and I don't love my boss, he's just a friend.""Friend your friend, you just met him today and you already call him your friend." She looks at me ashamed."I hope it's not what I think it is." She looks at me
"Why'd you not tell me Kelvin was your boss?." She asks me like she's getting angry."Well,you never let me tell you anything you just jump into conclusion." I defend myself to tell her it's her fault."Whatever,I need to see him right now." She begins to run then stops at the door of the room."You must not fall in love with him." She warns me then begins to run as I chase her."Stop!." I shout then grab her hands."Why are you stopping me from seeing the love of my live?." She asks me trying to release herself from my hand."Josie I told you, Kelvin said he's going to meet you tomorrow, well I said he should meet you tomorrow,
