"Ben, Tobiloba actually invited me over for a date." Annie told Ben shyly."My Toba?" She asked surprisingly."Hmm, yeah." Annie nodded her head. "I don't know why he did that but I couldn't refuse it." She pressed her lips together to form a thin line."Wow! Maybe he has a crush on you."" Ben winked at her."I don't think so, we're just friends." She didn't want Ben to think otherwise. Since the last time Toba visited her, they've gotten a lot closer than before."So, where do you need my help?" Ben asked."I've never really gone out on a date." She thought Ben would laugh at her, but she didn't."Really?" She wasn't amazed though."Yeah." She nodded. "I've not been a social type right from time." She was open to Ben. "I was always scared of going out, I had a phobia for the crowd.""Had? Not anymore right?" She chuckled.

"Ben!" Esther yelled over the phone. "He proposed." She squealed, not sparing time for Ben to greet her properly."Wow!" She was happy for her best friend. "So, what did you say psycho?" Ben asked."Yes! I said yes." She told Ben. "I said yes, I will marry him.""Congrats baby, we have a wedding to plan." Ben whispered happily, already envisioning how the wedding would look like, her crazy best friend and her husband, she giggled at the thought of the word "husband" Esther got a husband?"Yes ooh, a big one after NYSC sent forth." Esther said, it was obvious she was very happy."Wow!" Ben exclaimed again. "Congrats, best baby.""Thanks a lot.""Have you met his people yet?" Ben asked, Esther explained to her how nice David's mom was to her when she visited. He lost his father when he was little, but his mom made sure his siblings and him didn't lack a thin

Good morning boss." Ben greeted as she entered into Roshan's office."Good morning, my secretary." He retorted."Have you eaten this morning?" She asked."No, but you can prepare a coffee for me as usual." He was still busy typing."But, I'm talking to you." She shifted closer to him and pouted her lips, he finally looked up at her."I replied you, didn't I?" He had a confused look displayed on his face."Not the way I want." She moved away from him. "I'll bring your coffee soon." She left his office, he stared at her as she walked out of the office, he  smiled, he knew he was in for a lot from Ben, a lot of dramas, a lot of attentions and a lot of more.He inserted airpods in his ears and continued typing.Ben walked back into the office with a cup on a tray in her hands. "Here." She dropped the coffee on his table, he didn't look ba

Ben was summoned by Roshan, she got to his office hoping to be formal with him today and nothing more would surface.He gestured to a seat, she sat down and tried to stay focused."What are your plans after service?" He simply asked, diverting all attention to her."Nothing yet." She replied him."You should have plans." He was surprised she said nothing."Maybe go back to Lagos for job hunting, other than that. I don't have any other plan." She told him."You're going back to Lagos?" He asked almost dejectedly."Yeah?" She nodded her head and looked at him, he had a gloomy countenance on."Are you interested in working for this company?""I work here, I wouldn't have worked here if I wasn't interested." She said."After NYSC, do you still want to work here?" He asked again."It's actually very nice

She got to the venue he fixed at exactly seven thirty in the evening, she found a deserted chair at the park. She ambled towards it and sat down gently.She looked up and stared at space, the constellations formed bright colours of yellow or maybe light red- whichever it was, it was so beautiful- a beautiful view to stare at.She checked the time, it was close to the time he told her to meet him there. She heard a car pull up, she diverted her attention towards the direction and there he was, trying to park the car properly in a spot."Hey." He smiled at her, the star shone brightly upon him and she could see his bright smile. He wore a white shirt that hugged his masculine figure, a jean but she wasn't able to detect the colour due to the darkness that was taking over the day, and she was sure he was putting on slides. He looked casual, she had only seen him on suits - at work and kaftan - the day she followed him home.
