They were now close like they've known each other for a long time, he was seating in front of her grinning heavily at what she just said, teasing her was his new found hobby, she hissed before switching off the computer that was in front of her.
They left her office together, they got to his car and after discussing at length. He opened the door and they both hopped into the car.
"You're such a baby, Ben." Toba said as he wore the seatbelt.
"Thanks big man." She chuckled, doing dqmd. "So, what's up?" She asked, replying to a message that just popped on her phone screen.
"Where are we heading?" He asked.
"I'm tired and I just wanna go home." She whined like a baby, and he just smiled at her.

She closed the tab and finally looked at him, her eyes met with his and she swallowed hard."I'll take my leave now." She hung her head low and took a step."Don't leave yet."

Ben woke up to the brightness of the sun, it hardly rained there and that was a major problem in the northern region of the country. The lands were arid and she wondered how their crops were able to germinate without enough rainfall to sustain it.It was Sunday already, a Sabbath day to keep holy. She jolted out of bed and quickly rushed into the bathroom, she took a quick bath and brushed her teeth. She ran back to the room after she was done, she took a quick glance at the wall clock and realized she was already late for mass.One thing she loathed so much was going late to church and she couldn't just stay back at home on Sundays. She did the needful and stepped out of her house, she board a cab and soon the cab arrived in front of the magnificent building, the car halted and she stepped out after paying the cabman.

She looked up at him, he had a small smile on his face. "No." She answered."You weren't sure before?" He chuckled."I was sure just kinda strange you care about if I've eaten or not.

"Could you please show me around when you're done?" Annie requested, her face turning into an innocent smile."Sure." Ben returned the smile, she was sitted at the balcony of the house trying to comb and oil the tangled edges of her premium fiber wig."The wig is tangled right?" Annie asked, not knowing how else to start a conversation with her, Ben seemed older than her and she was somewhat shy when she was around Ben.Maybe because she was new to her, she didn't want to give Ben the wrong impression about her."Sure, it is." Ben dropped the comb when the wig looked a lot better than when she just brought it out of her room. "I think its fake." She told Annie, "Come sit." She cleared the things on the chair, placed them down and gave the seat to Annie."Thanks." She took the seat and sat down. "It looks better now." She picked the fringes and checked it out.
