"Am so sorry,i forgot that you had an allergy to peppery things"she rushed to the kitchen, went to the fridge and poured a glass of milk for him, she rushed back to living room and gave him the milk. He drank it in one go as she pat his back gently.
"Am sorry" shy collected the glass from him as his face slowly turned pale. She looked at him with guilty eyes,he managed to force a smile to look at her.
"No need to be sorry. I should have reminded you earlier. Since i ruin dinner. Let's go out for dinner, everything is on my tab"he promised.
"Am really tired today. Maybe another day"she rejected him.
"You almost killed me and you're still rejecting me"he looked at her.
"Fine but first, let me go and get ready"she went upstairs and got changed into one of her casual wear.
In a restaurant,
"Lizzy,i don't see any engagement ring on your finger. Were you serious about what you said the other time?"Jeff asked her.
***********
Three friends, two girls and a boy were sitting on the grass looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.
"Have you ever thought about whom you're gonna marry when you leave school"the girl at the right side asked them.
"I actually know who i want to be with but she doesn't share the same feelings with me"the boy said,his voice filled with pain and sadness.
"I don't wish to be with anybody,i don't want to be dependent on anyone or be a burden to him. I'll rather be a old hag"the two friends looked at Elizabeth who was oblivious to their stare, she only stated what she'll do when she leaves school. She don't want to experience it all over again.
"If you weren't gay,i will surely marry you in the future" Elizabeth said to Jeff whose heart was pounding beneath his chest,she just said anything and thought that it won't have an effect on him.
"As for me,i already have the man of my dreams"Ciara said boastfully and proudly.
"One day,you may hate him. Wise up,this world is not certain"Elizabeth said as Ciara stucked out her tongue.
"Why can't you just admit that you're jealous?"Ciara said making Elizabeth sneered.
"Just a piece of advice".
**********
Thinking about those memories stirred up some feelings within her,she smiled.
"Yes,i was"she said with uptmost seriousness. He suddenly felt a thug in his heart when he heard her but he smiled never still.
They started remiscing about old days in college as they laughed heartily with each other.
"Thank you for today"she thanked him as they walked to her place.
He didn't respond at her,he showed her a small smile as they continued walking slowly till they reached her home.
"See you"she said waving at him before entering inside,her phone rang from an unknown number, her brows furrowed at the unknown caller, she hesitantly accepted the call.
"Don't come to the office tommorow, come directly to the auction situated at Sky limited..."she removed the phone from her ear and looked at the id caller again,his commanding voice irked her to the core.
"Hello, who the hell are you?""she yelled at the caller, she could the coldness emanating from the man through the phone.
"If you don't want to lose your job,wear the clothes sent to you"she bit her lips in anger realizing that it's her boss. She was about to refute when she heard the beep which tells that the call has ended.
She pouted looking at her phone as she tried to crush it imagining that it was her boss face, before she could think of breathing, the door bell rang.
She went to open it only to see a big package lying there, nobody was there, she looked everywhere and saw no one before bringing it in with much effort.
After bringing it in, a paper flew from the package and landed on the floor, she picked it and read.
It says: Wear it for the auction.
She looked at the back of the paper and saw it blank, angry, she tore it. This boss of hers was too domineering, she felt like punching a face, seeing that nobody will come, she stomped on the floor.
On opening the package,her eyes was immediately blinded, she couldn't think straight and could only ask herself why he had gotten something as expensive as this. She was racking her brains for answers and the only reasonable was that he doesn't want her to embrass him since his business partners may be show up.
