Yvonne stared longingly at her phone. Specifically, she was staring at a message on the screen. It was the message from Emil
"You should just call instead of staring blankly at your phone !" Sandra exclaimed when she couldn't stand the lonely look on Yvonne's face no longer
" He's busy"
" Then text him"
" He has promised to call me tomorrow" Yvonne softly said, it was almost like a whisper
" There, you have your answer, so stop staring at your phone and go to sleep. Am sure he will call" Sandra comforted while she climbed her bed and laid down
"But I miss him"
" What? Did you say something? " Sandra asked as she didn't hear what Yvonne said
Yvonne shook her head and spout, "Nothing"
" Okay "
Yvonne continued staring blankly at her phone, ' Should she text him as Sandra suggested? Or should she just wait for his call tomorrow?'
She read the message over and over again to make sure she didn't leave any word out.
" Let's go shopping tomorrow " Sandra who had been silent for some minutes suddenly said
"No I will pass"
" Am not taking no for an answer !" Sandra said with a frown. She shot Yvonne a warning look.
" Okay, I will go, but not tomorrow" Yvonne tried to compromise
" I knew you were going to say this, but for your information my dear friend, am already use to your tactics. NO means NO !"
" But why should I go shopping if am in no need of anything?"
"You shouldn't need something before you go shopping."
" Is that so?Then why should I shop?"
" Just for a fresh change"
" Okay, I promise to go with you, but let's just postpone it to some other day"
" Why not tomorrow? Besides, we don't have class"
" I want to spend the day with... with him"
" Him? who are y..., okay, I now get it" Sandra laughed knowingly " You should have said so earlier"
" Did you gave me a chance? " Yvonne rolled her eyes at her friend
" Then I will have to make plans with my fiancé "
"Fiancé? I thought he's your boyfriend. When did the two of you get back engaged?"
Sandra rolled her eyes, " He's my boyfriend slush fiancé slush husband ! All the titles came with the package" she said
"Package? what package?" Yvonne asked in confusion
'Where from the package when they are talking about her " fiancé "!'
" Duhh, am referring to Rex, my boyfriend"
"oh, okay" Yvonne nodes and laid on her bed. She laid sideways so she could face Sandra who was also lying sideways facing her
" Tell me more about your cousin slush best friend "
" I've already told you everything you need to know about her. What else do you want to know?"
" Anything, like how she dealt with her hard headed boss"
"Ex, she's her ex boss" Yvonne corrected
" Yeah, so tell me"
Yvonne smiled when she thought of her Lina. She wondered how she was doing.
" Hello, where are you lost?"
"I just realised how much I miss my Lina"
" Then call her"
" I will, but not today" Yvonne curved her lips up and continued to speak " That day I left Country A for school, Lina came to the airport to see me off. But who would have thought that, right after she got to the airport, her demanding boss will call to tell her to come to her office that very moment !"
"She did ask for permission right?" Sandra interrupted with a question
" Yeah, that's what she told me, and I know she really did ask for permission. Because my Lina has always been a very responsible person"
" So, when she received the call, she told her boss she wasn't in the office and she will only be back after one and half hour. But her boss didn't want to listen to anything from her. She just hanged the call before Lina could finish speaking.
Lina being a self conscious person felt embarrassed when the call got cut. Most especially, it happened in the presence of her lover."
"Indeed an embarrassment" Sandra said as she took a pillow and held it to her chest
Yvonne nodded and continued, "Lina in her anger, called her boss back and told her off. She even told her to take her nest like office and swallow it down her throat to her stomach !"
" She did? That must have been so cool !"
Yvonne chuckled with a smile, " So that was how Lina ended her contract with her demanding ex boss. Am even glad she's free from the slavery which was in the clothing of a job !"
"I wish to meet your cousin slush best friend one day. Do you think she will want me to be a part of the zone?"
" She wouldn't just want you to, she would love for you to be a part."
"Really? What about you?"
Yvonne looked at Sandra as if she was an alien, "Aren't you already part of my zone?" Yvonne raised a brow at her friend as she questioned
" You're right, am already a part of you"
Yvonne yawned, "I think we better sleep now, am sleepy" she said
"Okay, good night friend" Sandra wished before she closed her eyes
" Good night friend " Yvonne said in a whisper since she was seconds towards the dream land. But despite how she sounded, Lina heard her.
