I got home that evening and as usual there's nothing to eat. I got a text message from Joyce saying I should join her for dinner. How can I refuse that?
Joyce and I have been besties even before I was disowned by my Father. I took a shower, I got changed into something more comfortable and I went to Joyce's house.
I got to Joyce's house and I met Nathaniel who's Joyce's boyfriend. "Lilith I'm glad you were able to make it....Thank you" Nathaniel said. "For what?" I asked. "Joyce insisted we watch a romant movie...we both know how that will end" Nathaniel said.
We both laughed. "What's funny?" Joyce asked. "Nothing" Nathaniel and I replied. "So Lilith how was your day?" Joyce asked. "It was not bad" I replied. "What's the special occasion?" I asked. "What do you mean?" Joyce asked "You asked me to come over.....and I know you too well, there must be a reason" I said.
"There isn't a special occasion Lilith....you're over reacting" Joyce said "Mhm" I said in disbelief. "Fine..... aside from the fact that I wanted you to have dinner with us, I also wanted to talk to you cause it's been a while since we last chatted" Joyce said.
"Dinner is ready" Nathaniel said. I had no idea he made dinner...I mean I'm aware that he's a good Cook but I didn't expect him to be prepared. "Come on girls could we talk about this after dinner?" Nathaniel said. I looked at Joyce and we both laughed for a while before having dinner. After dinner we were all in the living room..... Nathaniel was too busy looking for the perfect movie to watch. "Lilith have you heard?" Joyce asked.
"Heard what?" I asked. "Well your brother Harrison has taken over your Father's company" Joyce said. I was silent for a while cause I knew this day would come..... although I'm suppose to take over my Father's company but ever since he disowned me, I knew he would hand down everything to Harrison.
"That's good" was all I could say. "You know what let's forget about movie night and talk about you" Nathaniel said. "Me?" I asked. "Yeah....we want to know how you feel.....Lilith we're worried" Joyce said "Worried?.....about what?" I asked.
"That you'd end up being single for the rest of your life" Joyce said. "Joyce I thought we've been through this before?" I asked. "No we haven't, you need a guy in your life Lilith" Joyce said. "Why would I need a guy in my life?" I asked.
"Because you need some one to protect you and look out for you" Joyce said "Nathaniel please tell Joyce that I'm better off on my own and I can protect myself" I said
"Sorry Lilith but for once I agree with Joyce on this one" Nathaniel said. "Are you kidding me?" I asked. "As much as you might try to deny it.....the fact still remains that you need someone who would love and cherish you" Joyce said "love is over rated" I said. "That wasn't what you told me when I met Nathaniel" Joyce said.
"I didn't say anything" I said. "That's not true.....you said love is a force that can't be hidden no matter how hard you try, you also said that love ties two souls together for eternity and when you find someone that makes you feel special then hold one to them like your life depended on it" Joyce said.
Did I really say all of that? Wow I'm a wise Monk. "I think what Joyce is trying to say is that you should open your heart to love and you will be loved" Nathaniel said. "Don't forget that you're the reason why Nathaniel and I are dating" Joyce said.
"I didn't do anything" I said. "No that's not true..... you knew Nathaniel and I hated each other and you also knew that deep down we had feelings for each other but we were both full of pride to admit it... Lilith you brought us together and I want to see you happy" Joyce said.
It is true that I played Cupid for the both of them.....They both had feelings for each other back then but they both behaved like cat and mouse.....well what I did was simple, I looked them in a room and told them that I would throw the keys away if they don't confess their feelings to each other and start making out. My plan worked and ever since then they've been in a serious relationship.
"Joyce yours is different....but I don't have the energy to argue so yes you're right I do need a boyfriend and don't worry I'd find one soon" I said. "That's good" Nathaniel said. "Oh did tell you that I met Wesley?" I asked "Huh!!! Wesley? As in Wesley.....the same reason you were disowned by your dad?" Joyce asked.
"He's not the reason why I was disowned but yes the same Wesley" I said. "When did you meet him?" Nathaniel asked. "I met him on my way to work this morning" I said. "Perhaps this is destiny speaking" Joyce said "Here we go again" Nathaniel said while he rolled his eyes.
"Think about it...you guys were supposed to get married five years ago but you realized that you didn't love each other..... what if..... what if destiny is giving you a second chance to fall in love" Joyce said.
"Seriously? Joyce what makes you think that?.....if you ask me I think it's rather suspicious....I mean perhaps your dad wants him to keep an eye on you" Nathaniel said. "That makes more sense" I said. "And what if you're wrong and destiny's speaking?" Joyce asked "Well I'd have to silence destiny till I'm certain about everything" I said.
"That's smart" Nathaniel said. "Thanks you" I replied. "Hey what about me? Aren't I smart?.....are you saying your girlfriend is dum?" Joyce asked. "No....not at all....if anything my girlfriend is the smartest person who ever lived" Nathaniel said
"Mhmm" I said. Joyce and Nathaniel were both acting all lovey dovey and I couldn't concentrate on the movie anymore. Well soon enough I went home and I slept like a baby.....I hope tomorrow would be better than today.
