The next morning Zeze woke up early, took her bath and dressed up in a black trouser and a pink shirt with a Barbie picture in front of it, she tied her hair into a punny tail and put on a flat white canvas, carrying a white hand bag where she kept the address of her potential new work place, she held her cell phone on her right hand and her bag on the left when she got to the provision store, she was warmly welcomed by the fifthy four year old man who was already expecting her, he quickly gave her the part time job as his cashier handing over to her her new work shirt, it was a light purple shirt with the name of his store in front of it Zeze's part time work at the store starts by seven and stopped by two on the dot, her first day at work was quite peaceful with few customers .............
After work she quickly hurried back home using the bus, at home she prepared a box of rice and soup for her hospitalized uncle and took it to him, while in the hospital she chatted, fed and kept her uncle company he was very happy to see her, most of the times he laid down and hardly stood up from the hospital bed for his own safety he only stood up when necessary like when he was prest zeze brought him some novels from home to keep him company while she was away she loved him so much and was very grateful towards him for loving her like his biological child he was the best daddy anyone could wish for she promised to do everything in her powers to help him get a successful transplant and live a happy life once more when he finally fell asleep she covered him with his blanket and walked to the doctors office.
In his office she suggested that she becomes her uncles donor but was rejected by the doctor who argued that hers and his did not match, after conversing with the doctor she walked back into her uncles room to bid him goodbye and left in search of a designated driver job which was offered to her through Philip, when she got to the hotel she asked for directions from one of the service workers who directed her to the managers office, when she got to his door she took a deep breath and nocked on it seconds later she heared a voice asking her to come in.
******************************************
His office was quite spacious and we'll organised, she greeted him putting up a smile on her face he kept staring at her face and asked her if she had had experience of the job before and what her relationship with Philip was, he gave her the job and asked her to be extra careful of their clients because they were VVIPs and they're patronage was very important he let her know that her salary was big for that reason and reminded her that if she displaces any client she was going to get fired not minding her relationship with Philip, Philip had many connections and friends, manager Bung was one of them he is a man in his late thirties quite tall good looking but not out standing.
That night zeze was on stand by at the entrance of the luxurious hotel waiting for any client who arrived or needed a drive home, she stood with other designated drivers who worked at the hotel they talked and laughed courteously with their eyes on the look out for the rich hires arrival Zeze only exchanged pleasantries with them and stood quietly she was very thankful to Philip for getting her both jobs she hoped to rise enough money for her uncles kidney transplant she equally thought of ways to show Philip her appreciation and wanted to give him a call but remembered she was on stand by and it was just her first day, she did not want to loose her job she kept smiling happily at the thought of how lucky she was to have Philip always by her side, she remembered their childhood, how they played, fought, ate and slept on thesame bed sometimes Philip wore her clothes and she wore his too they made a great pair, she equally remembered her first kiss, it was Philip that stole it, they were still in high school on a faithful evening after sports hours in school the teenagers gathered round their basketball court they all sat on the floor while playing truth or dare, she was dared to kiss Philip though after much hesitation she kissed him it felt good but she never once had those kind of deep feelings towards him though she felt secured and safe with him her heart still belonged to leo the little seven year old boy she met when she lost both parents.
