It's so annoying that Wesley always shows up in the office. I can't stand the sight of him every single day. Today I told Mr White that I'm sick and wouldn't be able to make it to work today, He gave me seven days off. Truth be told I'm perfectly fine, I lied about being sick cause I don't want to see Wesley and the seven days off is a perfect idea.
Joyce and Nathaniel were worried when they heard I called in sick. The door bell rang and I sluggishly went to open the door. I opened the door and I saw Joyce and Nathaniel. Joyce checked my hands and face. "Oh my gosh.....you've became so thin" Joyce said. "Come on Joyce we met yesterday" I said. "You haven't been feeding well" Joyce said.
Nathaniel came in with a lot of bags. "Let me help you with that" I said. "There's no need Lilith, Nathaniel can handle it...isn't that right baby?" Joyce said with a wicked smile. "Yes.....I can handle it " Nathaniel said. Both of them are acting weird, I've never seen them this weird before. Nathaniel dropped all the bags on the kitchen counter.
"We got groceries on our way here" Joyce said. "Awwn you shouldn't have done that" I said. "Don't be silly, now that you're sick, you need to be taken proper care of " Joyce said. I didn't say anything, I went to sit with Nathaniel. "What's there to eat?" Joyce asked. "I don't know...check perhaps you'd find yourself something to eat" I said.
Joyce opened the fridge and there was absolutely nothing inside. "Are you kidding me? There's nothing to eat.....why would you have a fridge when you clearly don't put anything in it?" Joyce asked. I just shrugged my hands. "You see? Its a good thing I bought some groceries" Joyce said.
Joyce was so busy arranging some stuffs in the fridge while I looked at Nathaniel. I wanted to see if I could find something suspicious. "Why are you staring me like that?" Nathaniel asked. "What's the problem between the both of you?" I asked. "I don't know what you mean" Nathaniel said. "Don't play dumb with me, I know there's definitely something going on.....why don't you tell me.....maybe I could help" I said
Nathaniel sigh. "Well Joyce saw me with a girl last night" Nathaniel said. I gasped. "Did you...?" I asked. "NO....no" Nathaniel said. "So what's the problem?" I asked. "She's mad cause the girl took my phone number and she kissed me" Nathaniel said. I gasped again. "Would you stop that, you're making me feel guilty and I know what you want to ask next so I'd just answer it anyway...No she didn't kiss me on the lips, she just pecked me on the cheeks" Nathaniel said.
"You call that just a kiss?" Joyce asked. I had no idea she stood behind us. "I...um...Joyce you shouldn't be mad....she's just a family friend" Nathaniel said. "Family friend?....Family friend?.....what kind of a family friend would kiss you in a romantic and In appropriate way?" Joyce asked. "Joyce you have to calm down.....let's be sensible about this" I said.
"Why don't you tell him to be sensible?.....why don't you tell him that he shouldn't kiss a girl regardless if she's a family friend or not...I thought you were suppose to be on my side Lilith?" Joyce said. "I....I'm not picking sides OK?..if Nathaniel says she's a family friend then why should you be jealous about it?" I asked.
"Jealous?.....so you're saying I'm jealous?...you know what? I think I.....I can't do this.....I have to go and I think Nathaniel deserves better" Joyce said. "Joyce that's no what I meant" I said. Joyce made her way to the door but Nathaniel pulled her back and gave her a romantic kiss, he broke the kiss.
"Joyce you're free to punish me, I'd accept any punishment. I could never live with you being angry at me. I could never live with out.....if you leave....I'm afraid I'd loose myself.....if you want me to stay away from her, I will. If you say I could never look at any girl except you then it is only your face I want look at every morning when I wake up and every night when I go to bed. I Love You Joyce and I don't want to live without you" Nathaniel said.
I'm feeling kinda jealous myself because I don't have a boyfriend and now I'm listening to all of this. Watching them right now it feels like I'm watching a telenovela movie. If I were Joyce my heart would have melted the very moment he kissed me. After Nathaniel said all those things, Joyce Immediately threw her hands on his shoulders and slammed her lips on his.
"Eww!!! Guys could you stop that" I said. They both looked at me, then they both looked at each other. "You know I could never stay mad at you.....but promise me that you'd never look or talk to another woman" Joyce said.
"I promise" Nathaniel said. "Wait including me?" I asked but they didn't respond, instead they both went to the kitchen to prepare Dinner. Dinner was ready, we all went to the table. I began eating but I noticed Joyce and Nathaniel were staring at each other. I snapped both my fingers at them. "Guys less looking and more eating...the food's gonna get cold" I said.
Nathaniel cleared his throat. "Lilith there's something Nathaniel would like to tell you" Joyce said. "What is it" I asked with a spoon in my mouth. "You see I met a friend of mine yesterday" Nathaniel said. "Good for you" I said feeling less concerned. "Well this friend of mine is looking for a young lady like you that he could employ....and the best part is that he's willing to pay any amount" Nathaniel said.
I looked at the both of them. "Are you asking me to sleep with your friend?" I asked. "No.....it's not like that, he'd explain everything to you once you meet him" Nathaniel said. "When am I supposed to see him?" I asked. "Tomorrow by Twelve o'clock at the popular cafe in town....please don't be late" Joyce asked.
"Alright" was all I said. "Lilith please don't do anything stupid" Joyce said. "I'd try my best" I said. Dinner was over Joyce and Nathaniel washed the dishes even after I asked them not to. When they were done they left. I made my way to the bed room and it just hit me that I have no idea what to wear tomorrow.
