"I will have fried rice and a chicken breast." Cole said, he looked up from the menu and faced Korina, "What would you be having dear?""Still going through the menu." She said flipping the pages, her palms were sweaty now, she felt really anxious, the feeling she got had gotten worse."Please be patient." Cole told the waiter who already looked tired from standing."Oh it's okay." The man replied with a forced smile."I would have what he is having." She said closing the menu not being able to make a choice, "But with ribs not chicken.""Okay, sir, madam." He curtsied, "Be back in a few." The waiter turned away and left."Are you okay?" Cole asked noticing his date kept fidgeting, he saw she had sweaty palms and she glanced around her briefly as if expecting someone to jump out and pounce on her by moment."I am fine." Korina said, "Just stressed and n

Korina took the phone and angrily put it off completely.She was getting tired of the incessant beeping and ringing.She flung the phone across the bed not caring  where it landed and settled back into her covers to sleep.          That's all she had been doing for days now, sleeping, eating, she hardly took a shower, she never came out and she ignored all calls and texts, she wanted to be alone.Each time she remembered Brian's words, it stung her badly and made her eyes wet cause she believed they were true.No one would ever love me, She thought, every one had actually left and hurt her. The only permanent people in her life were her mother, who was now gone, Daniella, Aunt Dido, Mark and now Anne.She didn't know what to think of Cole, she didn't know what judgment to make about him, She wasn't sure what his motive was, was he g

"There, all done." Korina said tying up the trash bag, she scanned the apartment and felt a deep inner satisfaction, it was clean and well organised now."Now it looks like where an actual person is staying." Daniella said, she was leaning against the cupboard, "And it's all thanks to me." She smirked, Korina shook her head and bent to pick the last trash bag, she had no strength to argue with her best friend.The trip up and down the elevator was quite fast today unlike the day she got stuck with a mad man, she had gone to dispose the trash and the elevator decided to be fast.She rolled her eyes at the thought of it being slow when she had to go to work."Whenever are you gonna reply Cole?" Daniella asked as soon as Korina stepped back in the apartment."I don't know Dan." She said moving to the sink to wash her hands, "I screamed at him while he was trying to help."She squirted

Love is life, Love was essential, feelings were inevitable, suppressing them was nearly impossible sometimes and in some cases you just had to take the risk and give love a shot again even if your heart had been trampled upon severally.These were the thoughts flowing through Korina's mind as she got ready for her home date with Cole.Grace's words had invaded her mind severally and filled up her senses, she decided to give love another shot.She had to admit that she at least felt an attraction towards Cole and she also felt if she gave it a shot it would blossom into a wonderful thing.She knew Cole liked her a lot, it was obvious, the way he looked at her, his words and actions. She was sure he was gonna ask her out but she wasn't certain.That afternoon as she put her apartment in place, getting snacks and movies ready, she decided she was taking whatever Cole was bringing forth as far

Ever since Ms susie, Korina's boss had decided that they serve more varieties of pastries at the restaurant, Korina had the cause to get out of bed early and get to work as she was one of the baker's, well actually, the only baker.She literally shouldered the whole thing, her boss made her do it as she was very good at baking.The alarm went off at 5:30 AM. She grumbled while getting out of bed, she knelt down beside it and said a short prayer before heading to the bathroom to clean up.After brushing her teeth, she went to the kitchen and proceeded to making breakfast, she had egg, toast and tea as she didn't feel like taking Coffee today. She immediately went to take her bath after her short breakfast. Later on she got dressed and headed for work."Taxi." She screamed hailing one down with the movements of her arms. She got in and told the middle aged man her destination and he sped off with out a singl
