The light, glamour, the perfect moment, the most costly wedding dress, the best catering company, multi-million wedding ring, the perfect scenario, and the most adorable Groom. She felt as if She was walking around on air. Everything was so calm, so perfect until a Hot deafening slap hit her, Bringing Her back; wondering what could have happened….
It was their wedding night, She held her cheek in confusion, stepping into her new home with the wedding dress still on….she stared at her partner in confusion, trying so hard to blink back tears that threatened to drop... What? Why? Were words that left her Lips….. "oh, sweetheart am so sorry, it was a mistake or did that hurt bad " she heard him say in more of a mockery way, the words sound familiar, but she couldn't place it, her eyes widened in surprise as realization hit her and it all came regurgitating...
👉👉FLASHBACK 👉👉
Jennifer and I almost bought down all available clothes at Mac Miller's boutique, I was about to move from the empty rack to another when jenny declared me the winner.
I was the definition of classic, expensive, and wealthy as the only daughter to the British ambassador in Nigeria I was Spoilt-rotten….. Jenny is my only friend through primary, and secondary, even if we attended a different private institute, it was like we never departed.
At age 22, I was an architect, while Jenifer would be called TO-BAR in the following Month. ..she was my ideal friend, always living the life... We were sitting at my apartment, having the most boring Saturday ever, when Jenny decided to make it lively…..
Why not we go shopping, the first person to quit shopping pays the ticket fee to my ceremonial BAR….I look at Jenny as I crooked a smile, this girl is in trouble I thought to myself, racing towards my room for my purse…
I wouldn't have stop shopping for clothes if Jenny had not accepted defeat…..no sweet! am not done I replied to her, you won seriously Jenny said, as she pulled me towards the countertop, we were both giggling at the outrageous amount of things we bought, I turned toward the sales representative who as gone dumb, she had a surprised look on her face.
I rolled my eye as I stretch my card to her, I finally got her attention while she smiled and collected it...after about 15minute of calculating all I collect from the rack, she looked up at me for some minutes before speaking….I would be right back ma she said before disappearing to a back door.
Why? Jenny asked, I shivered not knowing the purpose too, I hate lingering, causing silently under my breath ….
What is so hard in deducting your stupid money from my card?. I hissed.
A minute please madam, she said…popping out from behind… The manager would love to see you, completing her intended speech…. For what? I asked before looking toward Jenifer... Who now has her back against the counter, she sighed as her shoulder sagged tiredly of waiting….
Afternoon madam, a deep rich voice greet me from the stand, I turned to see practical the most handsome man have ever seen in months…..Am wale he said, welcome to Mac Miller…. You are one special customer, for buying Goods worth more than 1.5 million nairas, we want to make you an exclusive customer that....okay, okay I said cutting him off, "what am I to do?" giving him a stern face, but inwardly I was drooling.
Just a few information about you madam and ....where is the form? I asked shunning him again, then he smiled, angry welled in me, why the hell was he smiling? There is no form madam, he replied, leaving me to walk towards a shelf to bring down a device which he placed in front of me, I could hear Jenny giggling, I hated him at that moment for embarrassing me... Just place your palm here MA, he said pointing to an opening on top, reluctantly I lifted my palm and place it on it… I felt embarrassed, he was making fun of me, with that stupid smile on his face…..
Another sales representative attended to Jennifer, as soon as the machine stopped beeping, I picked up my shopping bags, angrily pushing the door open, Jenny ran behind me to catch up with me as I was boiling with anger .....
Miss, miss Lola I heard someone shouting, I recognize the same annoying voice, I was on the brink of exploding from anger, I walked a few paces before I felt his hand on me, WTF….I turned around, landing him a deafening slap….I crooked an eyebrow waiting for his reaction. "oh sweetheart am so sorry, it was a mistake, or did that hurt badly " I said making jest of him. His fists were tightly clenched with a frown on his face, I was enjoying the impression from where I stood.
Some passersby stopped to watch. Some had a sorry face while some had their phones out recording the scene and some were laying, but some 3guys caught my attention, the first was laughing while the other chuckled softly trying hard to hold his laughter but the third one had a hard stare which could penetrate a hole into a wall but who cares? I averted my eye to face the blockhead in front of me, with a smile on my face.
Your card, he said extending my ATM card to me…..oh shit, 'what have I done, not willing to apologize, I snatched my card and left the store with Jenny walking behind me...
*********
For me Lola should not have behaved in such a way, that was very rude.😏…..
