FEW HOURS LATER
Mrs Leo returned home looking happy and was surprised to see Serena dressed casually sitting on the chair while pressing her phone.
My dear, what are you still doing at home, Mrs Leo asked. I don't feel like going out mummy, I just decided to rest for today. 'Oh is that so, then I'd like you to know that my friends and I are going to meet up at a coffee shop and I would love for you to accompany me there.
'Oh mom, I just remembered the company needs me right now for some important business, you Know, signing of documents and attending meetings...
Cuts in, Are you trying to escape going out with me, Mrs Leo asked. 'Not at all mummy, why would I do that, is just that I can't really accompany you today, she said and rushed upstairs to get dressed.
Few minutes later, she came downstairs fully dressed in plain blue jeans, white crop top shirt, white sneakers with a white handbag and her phone in her hands. 'Hey mummy, I'm ready, she said and went to peck her mum on the cheek.
I think you might need to slow down, someone is outside wanting to see you, Mrs Leo said. Probably one of your friends, I invited him in but he refused and insisted on waiting outside for you.
Oh, is that so then I better go check who it is, I said and went out to see who it was and to my surprise, it was non other than the least person I expected to see at my front door, 'CHRIS'.
'Hi, Serena how're you doing, he asked with his usual charming smile that I can't resist.
'Good, I'm doing great. What brings you to my house. Actually, I went to the company and found out that you weren't around, so I decided to come check up on you.
'Oh is that so, now you've seen me, I'm doing just fine, so can you please leave. Serena I Know that you're upset...
Cuts in, Listen Chris, my mom is around and I don't want to create a scene, so please leave peacefully.
I Know that I made a lot of mistakes, that's why I'm here today not to ask for your forgiveness but to amend those mistakes and start all over again, he said with sincerity.
'So Serena, can we be friends, he asked with his hand stretched out for an handshake and I gladly accepted it. 'Of course, we can be friends, I said and returned the handshake.
My name is Chris and I'm 24years and old, he said as a form of introduction. 'Seriously, I said and sighed. 'Serena and I'm 23years old , I said and we both started laughing at our childishness.
'Come on, let's go, he said as he opened his car door for me. 'Do you Know where I'm heading to, I said. I don't really mind anywhere you want to go, I'm at your service, he said and we both got in the car.
