She was forced to wake up early and do house chores whether she liked it or not, and that was the worst part of it. She usually grabbed two slices of empty bread and make her way to school.
The only thing that spun on her mind was her dream, a dream that was rare, a passion that was hard to find in her realm, passion that was never found or even studied in varsities or colleges, that was writing.
The way she loved it was beyond human expression, it's the only thing she knew and loved, so she decided to balance things out. Passion and exams it was. Boys aside.
Studying was the only thing she thought of even at break time, she wasn't the only one though, she was with her classmates. Unfortunately they began with the hardest, trickiest paper which we all know of.&
Her family knew about it,her father was the most happy soul,he didn't believe it. Her family always thought that she always went to town just because she had a boyfriend or she wanted to hang out with friends. Truth is she was getting bored,staying home was more like staying in prison,besides the endless chores,it emotionally drained her. It was always a thought or a memory that came in her mind,followed by pain that ended in tears that flew down like a fountain. As it was an extended family that was complicated in a complicated way,not everyone was happy for her. Fake smile never costs anybody, that's exactly what Candice received after telling them the good news, but she was expecting it at least. She was just used to it. So she decided to ignore it and focus on what was useful.
Wisdom opened the door for her,he was just a civilized gentleman. He was driving a fancy car,Eco sport it was,with its shiny blue color,it was just beautiful. " Candice, ohhh,let me ask you before we even go further,how do you want me to call you? Must i use your name or you would like it more if i could call you sweetheart?". She smiled. " Lol no the name is just okay. Just when she was about to open the car door,he stopped her. " No dear,that's my job,don't worry. I dated you so that gives me no choice but to treat you like the princess that you are. They ordered after getting their menus and had their lunch. Candice blushed in front of him,she really liked the guy so much that she wished they were a couple already.
Candice really liked the guy,Wisdom,she fancied the face,smile,dimples,complexion and the body on it's own,but she loved the personality mostly,although she didn't know much about him.She was always the serious type,when she loved,she loved for real,she always failed to fake feelings for a guy,if she didn't feel you then that was it. As Wisdom offered her a lift to take her home,they discovered it was drizzling outside,so he quickly opened the car door for her before he went in. They got in the car and left,he dropped her at her home,but before he did,they had a little amazing chat. " Hey,i forgot to ask you,how addicted are you to your phone,i mean to say how often do you look at watsapp"? There was that silence which was caused by Candice for staring at him up unt
Candice always had a good memory in terms of old events that took place in her past life,she even recalled some events that had occurred when she was 3 or 4 years old. That's how smart she was in the category. Even in her teen years,you would never cross her with words,she was smart,she caught them very fast and easily,and once she did,she never forgot it. Every term has its power,love has power,life has power,education has power,faith has power but nothing fore beats the "The power of words". That's what gives us the strength to carry on,the strength to fight,the strength of confidence,the strength of weakness and that of failure.But then no human soul has ever got a chance to choose a mother,a father,a home,town,country,life status
Just like everyone else, failing was the last thing she ever wanted. Failing would mean, no varsity, no happiness, no joy but misery would be her new middle name because she hated home, she hated doing one and the same thing daily. The house chores felt like a schedule of everyday and they were. She imagined herself viewing the results and just as she was, she discovered she had more credits than she was expecting, she had passed. Strange enough because she sometimes had terrible results so she didn't know what to believe anymore. But then Candice was the queen of faith, she had it in her, it was natural faith.As expected, seconds fell into minutes, minutes fell into hours, hours fell into days, days which completed a week, a week that was last for results to be out. At least her IGCSE results were not like the grade 10 resul
" 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.
Everybody sighed with silence for some minutes."Wow! Wow! Wow! Candice...i'm so happy for you, just hold on to the guy and don't sh*t him or else i will kill you with my bare hands". They all laughed.😃 It was just beautiful.They had left her at around lunch time, she was now all alone with the smiles in her face. She was a fan of Kevin Hart so she decided to watch the "Wedding Ringer". He was her main favourite actor actually. She heard a knock on the door,she let it repeat itself again. She didn't want disturbance but then her phone rang and guess what? It was bae😋. She couldn't be happier
"Started from the bottom now we here"! That was Candice."Ohhh man!!! When last did i hear this song"?they all sang it" Started from the bottom now we here"!!"And soon and very soon we'll be having our mansions and fancy cars, what we've always dreamt of, have credit cards of every shop and shop like crazy, bring the shops down with money such that whenever we get slightly spotted, the shops would just set everyone aside and let us occupy the whole shop".😂😂😂😂😂Milicent laughed till she coughed hard..."And then we get to hit Suncit
She went to her bedroom and tried to pick up the best outfit for herself, but at least she knew what she was looking for, a dress. She didn't have much of them compared to the jeans and pants. As soon as her eyes came across an old dress, she knew it was the one, surely it was and guess what? It was a yellow dress, one that made her days bright back in the days, it was the colour of life and happiness. It brought her smile back in her face since she remembered how much she loved it."Guys!🙈 how do i look"? They all turned at once.'AHHHHHHHH! WOW!WOOOOW😋! That's i
Time fled and exams were being jointed gown on papers, for the both of them. They would sometimes meet in town on an rush hour and wouldn't talk to too much to one another up until they met on the last day of their exams, not really on their last day for the both of them but on the last day of Candice."Hey! Uhhhm may i talk to you please...uhhhm i know we aren't on good talking terms right now because of my behaviour of ignoring you, listen Candice, i love you, nobody else, yes we are meant to fight, misunderstand and fight with one another but that doesn't mean we don't love another, it makes us more stronger. I had no choice but totally, completely dedicate myself on this course, i can't take a fall, you needed it also, you needed the space and i know it'
That's when he geared up the car and headed to the home of the hotels, she thought of telling him to turn the wheels but she couldn't, maybe because she loved food or something or to be spotted with a fancy and expensive guy, she didn't even know why she forced herself so much to go because all she could think about was Maxwell, thinking how torn apart he would be if he were to find out about what was happening in his absence. They got there "Sun Express Hotel",he rushed to open the door for her, it was for the first time, that shocked this lady because it had never happened before, what was different now! He held her handbag and headed to the reception where they ordered a simple breakfast and then decid
"Uhhm...not really, i mean yes i am going to town but not now, uhhm i am currently waiting for someone,so yeah thank you very much".She took a deep breathe because she knew that was a lie,a pure lie! Unfortunately for her, the guy knew she was lying. He really wanted to spend some time with her,just to talk, so he was willing to try to push till his last breathe,just to at least let her get into the car,what was even worse was that Candice was a hard nut to crack and he knew it."Candice,Candice...i know you okay,you seem to be forgetting that, i know you ftom letters A_Z okay"?
"Am just kidding babe...wanted your attention that's all. thing is we love one another right? This relationship has been going on for a while and it's been over a year now, i was thinking what could go wrong if we were to find a home church,where we can grow spiritually and a place where we can have meetings with God. God exists babe, he's there, you recognize the things that are lately happening in this world, in our country, our city, its exactly what God said will happen in His last book. We are now living in a world where a girl can fall deeply in love with another girl, where men kiss other men, where old men sleep with teens, who are more like daughters to them, and its about to go worse you know".
"Listen babe...listen...since today we are all about honesty...I have a confession to make, don't cry or be furious with me because I believe that it's all your fault, but that's not the reason why i raised this up. "Thing is i met this guy whom i went to high school with, when we met we did lots of catching up over a cup of coffee, after that we often met and we became friends again, we got so close that i ended up catching up feelings for him unexpectedly,it just happened babe...thing is he...no i can't go on". "Am waiting...say whatever you want to say".
Well...her boyfriend wanted to get this things for her, thing is he wasn’t wealthy, he was still educating himself for the best qualification that could ever exist,just that he had just began with the tuition." Oh my God! what do i do? how do i take control of this matter because it's a very big matter, it might not be right now but it will be in the end of time...it can be fun yes,very fun to do shoppings with him and be seen walking around with a celeb of the whole Southern Africa, Wait! or maybe a celeb for the whole continent". She laughed at herself whilst sitting in the lounge preparing supper for her boyfriend, but then no man!!!
