" Hello, how are you? It's been long how have you been"?
His eyes were glowing, bright, shining like a star in the dark. He hugged her like his very own natural daughter, and that, you see that excitement she had, she felt like she really was his daughter, she felt warmly welcomed.
" Morning sir, am okay, I've been around, I believe you know that I got a job as a columnist, so yeah, am pushing"...
She smiled, but it wasn't a normal smile, actually she did smile but there was this voice that reminded her about her results, that's when her face changed, and her principal noted that.
" It's really good to see you, I believe you are here for the results isn't it? She agreed with him. They proceeded h
It was a night, in his house, whereby he felt like he was missing Candice and they had allowed 4 days to pass by, not allowing themselves to at least spend time together like they used to, the results had set them apart. The results didn't make him happy too, yes they weren't that bad but they were not great too. The fact that they didn't thrill him made it obvious that they also didn't thrill Candice. " Let me take my phone and text her, check if she can come out of the house to here just for an hour or so. " He decided to text her yet it was late, not very late on his side but it was late. The situation wasn't good for her go out of the house, but since she was a smart girl, one with all possibilities, she made a plan like she always did, like she always had.
" Go and take my morning shoes in the bedroom, the floor is a bit cold ". She stood up, went to look for them without an issue. She felt different about doing what she was asked to do because it had never happened before. She came back with them, brought them to him, presented them with two hands with respect. He just smiled at her and made her sit on his lap. They watched a funny romantic comedy of which it was Candice's favorite kind of thing."Babe, may you please switch on the electric gezer for me, I just want to run a quick bath to make myself warm before I get into bed.". She was in the bedroom planning to go and take a bath in the bathroom, or at least shower.
Candice quickly got into bed, slept like she had been sleeping all night. No one saw nothing, she got excited by the fact that she won the first game, she played it so very much well, like a certificated girl. She was expecting a call from Wisdom but he didn't call to check up on her, to check if she had arrived safely just like any guy would have done, just like what every girl would expect from a guy she had spent a night with.Everything came back into her mind, like a student who just remembered what and how to answer an essay question in an examination room. How the argument began, how it grew, how it developed into something so beautiful that they had on their last night. Candice was the sticky type in relationships, she loved having only one guy, not more than that.
A morning fell into a day, a day that fell into a night and a night that formed another day, with Candice struggling to reach her guy. Not that his phone was off or something, he just just decided not to take them or even reply to her texts. There was a time whereby Candice would just stay online, waiting for Wisdom to be online. I don't know if that could be defined under "Desperation" or what. Awkward thing is Wisdom was online at most times but he never responded to any of her texts. That emotionally destroyed her, she had an emotional breakdown, she thought of texting her brother and reversed that thought again, simply because she knew that he was going to snap at her, well not really snapping a
After a few days without contacting her, she decided to apply into a few universities and colleges, apply for Journalism since she was in love with it, she thought she would survive in the field. She was into law also but she thought that field requires a lot sacrifices that she never thought she would be able to meet. Time was a problem...i mean she had to balance her work life together with social life and school life...which was a bit of a killer to her. One thing she noticed and didn't want to notice is that he hardly checked up on her,he never called her, let alone taking her calls whenever she tried calling him. He acted like a married guy yet she knew very well that he wasn't married. His a
She wondered when she was going to be back to his house again. She enjoyed being with the guy. But on second thought she told herself that she must not be a frequent guest, not just for the guy's wrong reasons but she had strict parents, strict family and most of all a Christian family. Putting it bluntly... Struggling children are usually the ones who succeed more than the rich kids, maybe its the rule of nature I don't know but it looks like it is. Plus the wealthy people in the universe are mostly the ones who have had bad and poor backgrounds. The only thing she did the next morning was to take a great bubble bath, dressed herself nicely, put on her best outfit and made her way to town to look for a job.
Fortunately for her everything went well, the great hospitality she received was warm and that warmed her heart in an unimaginable way. She learnt all the ropes but not all of them. She learn Italian cuisine, Chinese cuisine and of course the western food. How to cut and chop veggies and how to peel seafood and it looked like hard work to her when it was but that was nothing compared to what she had to do the next day. Her Hardest part was chopping lots of countless onions... She almost dropped down like a young kid sighting a ghost because of that, but good thing is she told herself that she was going to get used to it like everybody did, like everybody does.
Honestly the guy wouldn't have minded with seeing her there, he was just cool and understanding, its just that girls will always have lose screws in their heads. Candice never wanted him to know about her struggles, never in a million years. But then that never stopped them from having their meetings. She was always excited about them, actually the two was hard to understand, one minute they are cool the next there is huge tension. Their meetings went on and on until a guy walked into Candice's life. She never wanted to mix guys in her life, she saw it bitchy, besides honesty was one of her principles. Her brother had taught her to involve herself with only o
