Chapter 11 - Chapter 10

"Wow... Impressive. So,who was your role model?" Shirley asked.

"You know Amy Whinehouse right? I love her music and she remains my role model" Paschal replied her.

"Not bad"she said realizing she only knew one celebrity,which was DJ p.

"So tell me what do you have passion for?" He asked.

"Uhm...uhm...(it was then she realized she'd never taught of that) I've never really even taught about anything" she giggled somewhat surprised.

"Wow...I didn't think there's still a human being like that in this world. But don't worry,I'll expose you to every area of life and at the end you'll tell me which one you like best" he said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah,in fact have my number" he gave her his card, which she gladly took. "Thanks,I'll call" she said. "Call me"he said and they both laughed.

"Oh,I'll have to go now,it's running late"she said.

"Why? Is anything amiss?" Paschal asked.

"no,not at all. It's just that...I'm...tired"she said.

"tired? But you've done practically nothing"Paschal said

"have I?"Shirley asked

"ok,let me escort you" and they left the stadium together.

Walking side by side on the lonely path of the road,their hands brushed each other's and they both pretended to ignore it.

"So...are you single?"Paschal broke the silence.

"uhn?"Shirley said,she was a little bit confused. Where was he going to? She taught.

"Are you dating any one?" He cleared himself.

She was totally confused now. "I've not really seen someone I'd like to date"

"what about me?"

She grew shocked and stood blank.

Now,he was starring at her daringly and she felt out of place. Suddenly, she saw a lady far opposite from them and quickly said; "oh,there's my sister. She must've been waiting for me since. I told her I wouldn't waste much time at your concert. Obviously,she'd be cranky for taking too much time" then she continued "I'll call you later. Bye" and she  dashed away not waiting for his reply.

She couldn't even believe she lied twice today as she got back to the cathedral. The taught of seeing Paschal in the podium singing continued to go through her brain. She couldn't stop thinking about that handsome sight. Even as she went to take a shower,his melodious voice was still very clear in her ears.

She dressed up and laid on the bed looking at his card and then the last word he said started ringing in her ear like a song "what about me?,what about me?,what about me?".

She stood from the bed thinking of what to say to him when she called. In fact,she couldn't get him off her head. Then it dawned on her! She was a sister - sister Shirley - and it was a sin before God and man for a nun to be that close with a male human, talk more of fantasizing about him!

She quickly tore his card and threw it in the waste bin and went for confession. She confessed all her encounters with him and promised never to see Paschal again.
