You’re not coming today, right?” he asked. “Yes, bro. I realized I still had one vacation leave that I could use. But I’ll be there tomorrow for my last day at work,” Billie answered. Rowell sounded as if a burden was lifted off of his shoulder. “Did something happen? Am I needed there?” Billie asked. “Nope. Actually, there’s a lady who was looking for you at the lobby when I came back from my break,” Rowell narrated. Billie felt uneasy instantly.

“It’s Saturday. I have no work. I don’t need to wake up early. But why am I forced to wake up?” Zofi asked herself half awake.“Zofi,” someone from outside her room called her.“Oh shoot!” Zofi exclaimed.

Of course, I’m not forgetting you. I’ll be there soon,” Billie assured her.“It’s just so unbelievable that we are still not together physically now that we are in a relationship,” she said.“I’d say, timing is also a factor,” he said.“Anyway, please make it here as soon as possible,” she said.“Yes, Ma’am,” he said.“Yes, Ma’am” – did he become this kind of a boyfriend at nearly 25 years old?
