Ella realized Vivian was her other half. All thanks to her, she hasn't died of depression, if anything on earth would make her dear auntie leave her life, it would be done for her for good.
After enjoying her meal, Vivian wasn't still home. Ella drops a message saying 'are you on your way home? Cos I am really sleepy now.' As soon as Vivian got the message, she texts back. 'I would soon be in my way, make sure you lock the door.'
Miss Smith walks into her room and picks up her diary, did the normal routine of writing the summary of what happened that day 'Miss Vivian left me for too long today, and I really miss her.' She turns the lights off and stares at the dark room for a while, before falling her asleep.
Vivian on the other hand, had the time of her life, everything went well as she planned. She ordered for a ride that took her to work. Getting to work, everyone was amazed and wowed by her dressing, Vivian really looked so beautiful that even the secretary was forced ask what the occasion was.
"Miss Vivian, do you have plans after work today?"
"Oh, yes I do." Vivian replies shyly.
With the reply Vivian gave, it was glaring that she was going on a date with a man.
Vivian closes at work 5pm in the evening. Immediately it was her closing period, she rounds up and was about to dial Andrew's number when his call came in. Quickly Vivian's mind had traveled far, 'maybe he wants to cancel the date.' She picks up the call and surprisingly, Andrew was already waiting for her outside.
"Hi beauty, I am already waiting for you outside." Andrew says.
"Okay, I will join you in the next five minutes." Vivian says and hangs up quickly, she checks the mirror and applies a little bit of powder, lip gloss, adjusts her hair and sprays some perfume. She walks out elegantly, and even the secretary was caught by her charm. "I will see you tomorrow, June."
June took a while before answering, she was busy admiring the beauty in front of her. "Ma'am, I must confess, you look so beautiful."
"Really? Thanks so much." Vivian giggles as she steps out.
Andrew was standing by the car, patiently waiting for his date. No doubt, on the sight of Vivian, her charm and scent was driving him crazy already. "You look very beautiful."
"Thanks, you look very handsome too." Vivian complements too as Andrew looks different from the day before, dressed in a nice tuxedos and giving a very good look, maybe because of his haircut."
Andrew went further and opens the door for her, treating her like an angel he presumes her to be. "Your majesty." Andrew calls as he opens the door.
Vivian had butterflies, she smiled shyly as she enters the car and they made their way to one of the best and high class restaurants in town.
Andrew drives very gently and nice, with some nice music playing softly too. The atmosphere was kind of boring, both were shy. Vivian looks at the mirror to check if her make overs were still intact when she locked eyes with Andrew through the mirror. They smiled at each other and Andrew holds her soft hands gently.
"When are you going back to Nigeria?" Vivian asks.
"I don't know yet, with you in the picture, I just want to stay with you."
They finally arrived at the restaurant, it was calm and very reserved, Andrew holds Vivian as they walked in, checking her out from time to time.
After a lot of wine and dine, they talked about a lot of things but Vivian never mentioned Ella and Andrew never mentioned his real profession.
"What kind of music do you listen to?" Vivian asks as she sips her wine.
"I love good music." Andrew replies and he sips his wine too. "As far as I can relate to it, I love it."
Time passed, and it was time for Vivian to go home, he drove her home as planned. Getting home, Vivian appreciates Andrew for the date and ends the note on a very emotional hug.
Ella had locked the doors, just as she instructed. It was quite dark, Vivian suggests Andrew went back home without coming in, because she felt if he came in and sees Ella, he might know as the missing Smith daughter, and she wasn't ready to blow the cover. Not knowing, he was dangerously in search for her, not for any other reasons but to kill her.
They barely escaped a disaster that night as Andrew didn't set his eyes on Ella.
Vivian has her personal keys to the house, she picks them from her bag and opens the door gently, Ella did so well to put off all the electronics before going to bed. "Good girl!" She exclaims gently as she puts on the lights to see everywhere clearly and went straight to Ella's room, her baby girl was sleeping so peacefully, just like sleeping beauty.
Vivian smiles, patting her head and adjusts her duvet well for her. As long as she spent time with Ella, the affection grew deeper and bond seemed more unbreakable.
