Beep.. Beep.. Beep..
The sound of Vanessa's alarm woke her up from her sleep... For some crazy reason she thought she would have nightmares due to the incident of the previous night, but instead, all her dreams were filled with the little girl...
In one of the dreams, she was at an amusement park with the little girl., they were taking pictures when a young man walked up to them holding three ice cream cones... He gave one to the little girl, and one to her., and kept the last one for himself...
The little girl called the man daddy, and for some funny reason called Vanessa mommy... The young man kissed Vanessa on the cheek and picked up the little girl...
"Mummy can you get.... The little girls request was stopped by the beeping of Vanessa's alarm clock...
Dreams are funny things., but why did she dream of the little girl all night... And why was the girl calling her mommy in the last dream... And who was the young man that gave her a kiss... He did not look like Mark...
To be precise, he did not look like anyone because for some reason, she could not see his face in the dream...
'well maybe it's because she wished to have a baby like the little girl last night, and the young man in her dream was probably Mark... She was in an amusement park with her daughter and Mark' .... Was what she concluded...
She got up, and saw that Jenny was already up reading her Bible... She didn't bother her, she went straight to the bathroom and washed herself up... As she was in the bathroom, a song was stuck on her lips...
Jenny thought she was probably hearing things wrongly., so she just faced her Bible...
Vanessa picked out a simple blue knee-length tight fitted gown... She decided to curl her hair, maybe it would make her look less 19 and more 26...
As if that would hide your baby face...
She went to the kitchen and was making herself some toast..
Jenny I'm making toast, do you want some??.... No... I'm good.. Jenny replied from her room...
Unconsciously.., Vanessa started singing the words of the song that the little girl made her listen to...
"I will send down an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night... It's true.., I will rescue you...
Oh.. My.. Gosh.. Vanessa...are you singing Rescue by Lauren Daigle... Huh... How do you even know the lyrics to the song, I mean I heard you humming it in the bathroom but I thought I had bad hearing.., but now you are even singing it word for word... What is going on....
Vanessa's voice was so good with the song., if she went to church, they would probably beg her to join the church choir..
Jenny was obviously in shock... I mean this was Vanessa right?... Vanessa who did not know a single gospel song was actually singing one... It was just overwhelming...
"well like I told you last night., I met a little angel.., and the angel whispered the song into my ear over and over and over again.... So I guess you could say it stuck to my lips....
And just to clarify things, just because I'm singing a Christian song, doesn't mean I now believe in God or anything... I still don't believe in God but the song was quite catchy... And besides it will soon leave my lips... I'll forget it in no time...
Jenny's mouth was still wide open., I mean she had this song on repeat for almost a month., and not once did Vanessa hum the song more or less sing the lyrics...
Jenny suddenly found herself really curious about this little angel that slightly changed her friend just in one night... I mean she has been trying for years.., and a five year old girl was able to make Vanessa sing a Christian song...
If the girl could work wonders on Vanessa in one night., imagine what she would make Vanessa do if she had more time... This little angel might be the final piece that would draw Vanessa to God....
"oh I really wish to know this mystery angel... She is definitely God sent.... Jenny said happily...
" I don't know about a God sent angel, but I know that if I stay here longer, I might be late to a job I just got, so I'll see you later... She picks up her bag and heads for the door..
" Vanessa if you ever see that angel again make sure you call me.., I'll run over to see her.. And Vanessa., don't try forgetting the song too quickly....
***********************
Mark woke up to the sound of his phone beeping... It was a text message... The naked slender body of Ashley laid beside him sleeping... He picked up his phone... It was a message from Vanessa... He didn't even bother opening it., he just dropped the phone back on the side shelf and positioned himself back next to Ashley....
He didn't want a message from Vanessa to ruin his perfectly perfect morning.
*************************
There was a sudden commotion in the hallway.., they could hear screams...
"what's all the ruckus about so early in the morning??... Vanessa asked out loud in the staff room...
" he's here... Another female teacher said... She was a black woman with full curly hair... Maybe around her forties... She was not fat, but she was not slim either... She was in the middle....
" who's he... Who is here??.. Vanessa asked seriously confused...
" Jason.. Jason Parker... Captain of the basketball team... And tagged the most handsome guy in the school...
"what, really... He can't be that handsome to make them go that crazy.... Vanessa said.... Go see for yourself... The lady said...
Vanessa reluctantly walks over to the rooms window..., and when she peeped through, she didn't need to be told who Jason was..,
it was obvious.. It was the guy with the golden hair.., really strong muscles.., 6.2ft tall., and had the face that said... "I know, I'm good looking"...
"DAMN"..... She said without thinking...
Damn is right sister... The black woman suddenly appeared from behind her..
It was then Vanessa realized what she said.... She placed a hand over her mouth as if that would take back what she said...
The woman noticed this...
Oh don't worry sister it's normal...., I'm Joanne by the way.., Joanne James... So you can call me JJ...
Oh.. Sorry.., I'm Vanessa Jordans...
NICE to meet you Vanessa...
You know it's really normal to be shocked at the way these kids look... I mean the way God is making these kids these days, will have you drooling over your child's age mate....
Well I don't know about God.., but if he does exist.., then so does the devil... And in that case, I don't think your God made this Kid...
That's purely the devils handwork... And he did a pretty good job with this kid...
