I can't believe how bored today is, I didn't speak to Mysterio I have been trying his number it hasn't been reachable making me think if he took it like I instructed him to. I did all he asked me, luckily I was able to occupy my day with interracting with the customers.
"What's wrong with you today?" Emeka our company driver asked me, I guess even him noticed my sad mood
"Nothing, just feeling stressed" I said tiredly, I guess he took at as a sign and decided not to push the matter. Our days was spent in silence only talking about work related things. When I got back home the usual excitement that I always feel is gone, that's because I won't be talking to him tonight again.
Today again is the same thing, no way of reaching him, I just did all he asked me and wore my black undies like he instructed. Funny how he has been the one instructing me on which undies to wear, I never had such connection with josh, it's been long I thought about him.
I spent the entire day just like yesterday very boring, today is already Friday and he said he would be back today, I wonder if we will be able to speak tonight, the thought is already comforting.
I quickly hurried home after work with hope I will be able to call him or perhaps be ready when he calls. After freshening up and wearing the singlet he asked me to, I can't even remember when I told him about the singlet. I sat down and dialed his number for the millionth time but it's still not available, I have sent him a million message on W******p and he is yet to receive any, this two day is longer than I expected and he is still not online. I went to sleep on my couch while reading all our previous messages, its the only thing that kept me company.
On Saturday I went to work gloomy and without any instructions from him, I decided to wear red undies again, he said he loves it the most. Saturday work is just to report to the company and drop your statement, it isn't much work, we use it to gossip too.
"The C.E.O has not been to the office since two weeks now" Timi said, I think she has a special interest on this C.E.O.
"I heard from the manager that he travelled to go check on the new hotel they're building overseas" Chima said, she is among the office workers here so they always have the full gist.
"Wow if it's a hotel I will drop an application" Nnedi said and I second the opinion though I was too moody to say it out loud.
"It's overseas so the chances of getting employed is very slim" Timi added, we all know that but we wouldn't give up. I tuned them out as they continued other company gossip. It includes which manager is the worst womanizer, the cutest among the men.
"I heard some of the guys that came for the interview are so cute"
"I saw them, they are really not hard to look at" they all kept talking about them making me remember that Mysterio is among the guys.
"Is there someone among them with a husky voice?" I asked and instantly knew that was a stupid description.
"Well we don't know, but if anyone has such voice I bet he would be among the hottest" Timi said with a wink and I gave a sheepish smile. I went home early since all energy was drained from me.
"Hello again" I turn to see Emma, the guy has been bugging me for weeks, I always forgot to tell Mysterio about him because he is insignificant. Don't worry I will report him when Mysterio comes back.
"Come on, the sun is much at least let me drive you home"
"Don't worry, I will manage" if only he knows how much I hate his mere voice.
"Can't we just be friends and slowly become something more"
"We could have been friends if you weren't hoping for something more" I said and stopped a tricycle since I am fed up with his stupid voice and stupid face.
I got home and slept since my mysterio is still not online. When I woke up nothing change except for the bitter taste of being alone, I lost all appetite. I decided to watch my favourite anime, I hope he is alright wherever he is.
This is no longer funny, it's been another 9 days and he hasn't been online, my sadness is slowly turning to anger, I want to smack him so hard so that he wouldn't repeat it next time.
"Come on Rose, just give me a chance, just a single date" Emma begged me, everything is bugging me. Just like last Saturday he is here bugging me again and I want to punch him so hard.
"Can't you just leave me alone"
"I can't, I promise to leave you alone if you give me one chance" I am waiting for tge tricycle to approach but it seems to be taking forever and people around are already taking notice of us, I turned to him and said what I regretted instantly.
"Time and venue" I said.
"Kitty's, 8 pm, I can come pick you"
"Don't worry I will be there" I said and the smile blastered on his face shows how happy he is. Why did I accept his proposal, is it because I am bored? Well, if I am being truthful is because I want to rebel, I want to tell him I went on a date and had fun since he left me and go God knows where.
After getting home and preparing for my date I contemplated whether to text it to him or just wait till he gets back online, I have already dropped a thousand massage, am I being too clingy.
"He is not even my boyfriend, I hate this feeling" I muttered and left for my forced/rebellious date.
He looked happy when he saw me, I may never had said it to anyone but my idea of date is staying on doors and watching anime till will both fall asleep in each others hands. I guess it's too childish for any guy to even think of.
"You came" he said
"Of course I did" am already regretting my decision.
"So what would you eat?" he asked.
"Rice would be good" he ordered for fried rice and chicken for the both of us, we are in silence due to that fact I kept giving him a simple reply so he stopped trying.
After our food he decided its right to know each other more
"So how was the food"
"Good, good" I answered with my eyes clued to the T.v
"I guess you love the movie" he said and I realize am not being fair so I decided to give him my attention.
"So how was your day" I asked.
One thing about date is, its only beautiful when you are both attracted to each other so conversation will freely flow. It will be like you guys are connected on the same frequency with beautiful music playing in the background, things around you will never distract you. But being on a date with someone you feel nothing for, everything becomes a distraction even the fat guy in the next table chewing on his chicken bones.
I just want to escape here, this is more of a punishment than I thought.
"It's getting late I should start going" I said and faked a yawn.
"Alright, let me drop you at home"
"Don't worry, I will manage" I don't know why I'm skeptical about showing him where I live.
"At least let me work you out" he said and I agreed. We walked out and I can't believe how dark it is already.
"Escort me to my car let me get something" he pointed at his car at the extreme end, it's dark that side with no second thought I escorted him.
"So do I have a second chance" he asked
"You asked for one I gave it to you, don't be greedy"
"I was hoping I will use this one to convince you for a second one" he said as we got close to his car, I stood there without feeling the need to answer him, I checked my phone to see the time.
"I really......" I was cut off when he landed his lips on mine
His action irritated me so much that I slapped him, something I have never done before."Am sorry I just couldn't control myself" he pleaded but that is to deaf ears because I am already walling away, he called but I ignored him.Mysterio would b disappointed at me, I am disappointed at myself, I fly like washing my lips with iron sponge, it irritates me right now. I kept spitting even though he didn't go past my tongue.I got home so exhausted, I am hating how much his absense is affecting me he is not even my boyfriend. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower, I concentrated unnecessary time on my lips, it nearly bled from too much scrubbing. I wore my singlet, the one he loves the most, I wonder how he imagines it since he hasn't seen it. I was about trying his number again when my phone rang, I was overjoyed when his name popped out."Hello, where have you been, do you think I am a fool? Someone you can leave and come back anytime you like" this is not
I just received the most shocking message of my life that my brain doesn't even know how to process it. My boss is Mysterio, how should I react, should I slap him for keeping the secret, well that will certainly get me fired. Should I hug him and tell him how happy I am to finally meet him, well employees just don't hug their boss. What should I do then, I just stood there looking at him and he looks back at me expecting a reaction from me."Say something""I have no idea what to say" I replied truthfully."How about you say that I am super handsome" he said and I rolled my eyes, thats typical him always full of self praise."How come, since when did you know?" I asked."Please sit, let me give you the full gist" I sat down to listen to his tale."After our quarrel last night, I had to bury myself in work so I had to go through the company workers that was when I noticed that your name is Rose and you told me you work at Juvango so I had to check
*Hi Rose* I received a text from Henry. Henry and I have been chatting over a week now since he revealed his identity, thankfully it didn't affect our work, he is still my boss, except for Timi being on my neck for being too close to the boss all is well.*Hello Henry* after revealing his identity somethings changed, I have no idea what but it's not what it use to be, our chat is fun but he no longer drop quotes from Naruto, it's as if his personality changed and no more pets name that I am use to.*Since no work today being Sunday you care to hang out?**sure* I have nothing else to do, and he no longer tell me what to wear and no questions about my undies, how would it sound if I tell him that I missed him caring about what I wear.*Alright I will send you the venue, I have to go* he went offline, I guess he is now a busy guy.This last Saturday we gossipped a lot at the office and am not sure if half what they said is true."I heard
I am glad he decided to drive me to the hospital and always giving me words of encouragement, my mothers medical condition has been detoriating, she has been having heart issues, I guess its now getting worse."Don't worry she will be fine" he said for the millionth time and I just nodded. Immediately we arrived I rushed inside luckily I found my brother at the reception."Where is mom?" I asked immediately I saw him."She is sleeping now?" he answered weakly. The whole issue has drained the poor boy, he decided to school from home so he can take care of mom, they knew my work wouldn't let me and I felt ashamed leaving my mom for my brother to take care of but we need the money I earn for our living. Our dad is no more and we are just 3, 2 boys and me, I am the eldest so I have to take the responsibilities at least till Emeka graduates, luckily he is doing his NYSC. Chuks the one with our mother is the last born he is just in his second year."Let's go se
"So you mean the guy you mistakenly texted thinking it was me, happen to your boss and now your boyfriend" Jessica asked and I nodded."I am more surprise he decided to take care of my mommy" I said taking a sip of the coke she served me. I have told her about Mysterio and most of the things that happened but I withheld something's even tge abortion part. To think of this I am even surprise Henry doesn't care about the abortion and still want to date me."So your mom will be leaving the country next week?" she asked."Yes" Its been a week since I started dating Henry, we haven't had much time together he has been busy and I also has been busy with my mom travelling, luckily he gave me time from work."So have you guys done the deed yet" she asked with a cheeky look."Hell no, it's too early" I nearly choked on my drink, Jessica has always been the type that takes the bull by the horns, but as for me I take my time when it comes to this."Kee
After eating which was a silent torture for me, we went to the sitting room to watch some film.'Maybe he will oblige me by playing an episode of Naruto' I thought to myself, since he said he doesn't really like it much and only told me he did just to appear unique."I have some horror and some home movies which one would you like" I guess I was thinking too much."Put some home movies" I dont want to look over my shoulder all night, and its really getting late. One of the servants selected the movie that started playing, I guess the servants does everything. We started watching about half way through the movie his hands is already making his way up my skirt and it felt uncomfortable with the servants around."The servants" I muttered as he brought his lops closer to kiss me"Oh" he said as it dawns on him "leave us" he said to the servants standing like soldiers."Yes sir" they responded and left after bowing. He started kissing me even bef
I am standing face to face with Mysterio, I don't need a soothsayer to tell me, the laughter, the voice, knowing Naruto coupled with what am feeling."I..... I....." I stuttered."Cat got your tongue?" he asked just like the first day we spoke on phone."No, I am just surprised you know Naruto" I said thinking I might be wrong."I know it and Imagine how awesome it is" he said with a smug, that's him alright, he is Mysterio the egomaniac."Better watch the road next time" I said and rushed down the stairs, I think it's not good being in front if him and I'm still not sure he is the one. I already have Henry, though he has not been acting like the Mysterio he still knows a lot of things about me and I'm eternally grateful for what he has done for me.I left the company and walked to where I will board a tricycle to go home but I got stuck as I feel I should've chatted more with this guy to figure things out, and no matter how much I try to deny it, I sti
We walked to the nearest eatry, our footsteps was in sync as if we praticed it. I wish i met him longer."So what will you eat?" he asked."I am craving for some vegetable soup" I said feeling it will bring us together."I am also in the mood for some vegetable" he said and ordered for the both of us."So what's the history behind your name" I asked because it's not everyday type of name."Well my mother is a huge Romance novel fan, so the novel she was always reading when she was pregnant for me, the protagonist name is Alfa""You really have an awesome name""Don't sweat it dove" he winked"So who did you think I was" I asked just to be sure."A girl name Rose" he turns to me "you work at Juvango so you might know her""I might know her if you describe her" I said resisting the pain in my heart."Well I don't know much about her physical appearance, she sounds a lot like you, loves Naruto just like I do" he stopped as ou
