The next morning I woke up and checked my phone and there were 5 missed calls from Phill and a text message.
[Sleep well beautiful, call me tomorrow morning before you do anything.]
That was his text. I wonder what that man thinks of himself. I decided not to argue with him so I did what he said and called him.
"Good morning gorgeous." ... He answered the call.
"Yes good morning, last night I slept when you called."
"No problem, I'm glad you called back."
"Yeah, I have to. Anyway, what were you saying?"... I asked.
"I missed your beautiful voice."
"Lol... Okay."... I blushed.
"I just wanted to remind you that, I will pick you up around 13:00 hours for lunch. Dress well and smell good. I love you."... He ended the call before I could utter a word.
Phill ended the call because he knew I was going to deny it and scream. It didn't displease me, so I placed my phone on the table and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When I finished, I went to Adel's room.
She was still sleeping.
"Good morning kitten."... I greeted her as I joined her on her bed.
"Good morning love, why are you here to disturb me?"... She asked.
"It's nothing, get up it's already eleven and you are still in bed. come, get up."... I pulled the blanket.
" Alright then."
We went to clean the house. We kept chatting and laughing. She seems to have no problem with me anymore. She looked beautiful as she laughed with her big white eyes. After cleaning, we ate something and she told me to go to my room, so she could choose a nice dress for me. This kid had the audacity.
"Don't worry sweetheart, I will put on a dress and you tell me whether is fine or I should wear another one " ... I told her.
I tried many dresses but I didn't love them. The last dress was a form-fitting, strapless, gold sequin dress.
My mom bought it for me on my birthday.
"OMG, you look beautiful. Phill is going to fall when he sees you in that dress."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"It is true, just look at you. You are a whole Diamond."... She complimented.
"Thanks. Stop it now, I need to go and bathe." ... I told her.
I bathed and put on my dress. I wore my perfume. Even if it was cheap, it smelled nice. I comped my hair letting them lay down on my shoulder. A few minutes to 1 pm, Phill was already at our gate.
I took my purse and went outside. I saw him glaring at me. He said nothing until I reached where he was. He waved at Adel.
"Have fun you guys, but not too much fun." ... Adel said.
Phill laughed. "Alright kid, have a good day."
He didn't say a word to me yet. He opened the door for me to get in the Car. He got inside the car and smiled at me.
"You look beautiful in that dress."... He glanced without blinking.
"Thank you."
We drove off, and I asked him where we were going but he told me that I would find out myself. He took me to one of the expensive restaurants in town. I couldn't believe my eye. It was my first time though at such a nice place. I looked at myself again and I heard him say
"Let's go! don't worry, you look perfect."... He said.
"Don't say such things to me, I might just fall." I was nervous.
We went inside the restaurant. I was amazed by how fortunate the restaurant was. I loved the music being played and the design. He held the chair for me to sit down. The waitress brought the menu so we order. Phill told me to order anything of my choice and that I shouldn't mind the prices. He would take care of everything.
He ordered portobello mushrooms with truffle mush. I was busy scanning the menu but I couldn't get anything I know. Phill was staring at me, studying the expressions on my face.
"Are you struggling to choose, order anything of your choice beautiful?" He smiled and the waiter was still standing waiting for my order. There was many dishes' name that I never heard in my life. I was not used to fancy things, so I scanned for the last time and I ordered pasta primavera.
The waiter went and in a minute he was back with our orders. Philly told the waiter to leave us and he poured wine into my glass.
..."enjoy your lunch." he said while galloping the wine from his glass.
I was so nervous. That when I picked up the fork, I dropped it on the floor making a sound that made everyone glimpse at us. Phill smiled at everyone as if he was telling them that we were fine.
"Breath, I could tell you are nervous. Just be you." he looked into my eyes and I loved how I felt when he said those words.
The pasta was delicious and I loved it so much. I took a sip of wine and asked him. "are you a vegetarian?" I peeked at his plate.
"yes, but not during the night," he answered with a serious face.
"what do you mean, not during the night?" I was startled by what he said.
He giggled "I'm joking, but I'm not a vegetarian. I love my meat." he took another sip.
After eating, we left the restaurant. We went to a Mall opposite the restaurant. He held my hand as we were heading inside the Mall.
"Let go of my hand, can't you see people are looking."... I whispered.
"Let them see, I don't give a damn."
I'm a shy person, so I was not comfortable being around many people. People were looking at us and looking at each other. I wondered why. What Adel said was true, Phill was every girl's dream man.
"I wonder what these people see from this guy, of course, he is handsome and rich but he is an arrogant man"... I said in my mind.
Many girls were running and taking selfies with him. I was so annoyed.
"Can we go home now."... I told him.
"Why so soon, are you jealous of those girls?"... He asked, pointing at the girls that were taking selfies with him.
"Why would you think that I'm jealous? It's not like we have something. I just want to go home because these heels are killing me."... I made an excuse.
"Oh. I see, don't worry, we will go home soon."
He bought me a nice dress and a pair of cute heels. After everything, we drove off and went back home. On our way back, we were telling stories and laughed. For the first time, I felt good around this man. We played music and sang together. It was fun and we didn't even notice getting to my place. He stopped the car.
"Thank you very much for today, I had so much fun." He was smiling and glancing at me. He looked cute with a smile on his face.
"You are welcome. I'm glad today we didn't annoy each other."... I teased him.
"I'm glad too." He glanced straight into my eyes and pulled me closer to him. He kissed my brims and hugged me.
"You can now go home before they kill you"... He said.
"Who is killing me?"
"Of course your heels."... He laughed.
I forgot that I lied to him, that the heels were assassinating me. I laughed too and get out of the car. I waved him goodbye and went inside the house and He drove off. Adel was watching Tv when I got home. She screamed when she saw me and hugged me.
"How was lunch at the expensive restaurant?" she didn't even give me a chance to sit down.
"It was good, I had fun."
I went into my room and undressed. I laid down on my bed to rest. My phone screen lights up. I checked it and it was Phill who texted on WhatsApp. He sent me a picture he took when he kissed me.
"What time did he take this picture? He is something else." I kept staring at the picture and admiring it.
"We look good but not good together."... I smiled again.
I told myself that no matter what, I won't fall for Phill. I already had a boyfriend and we loved each other. I called my mom and I told her how I was coping with Ehenye. I also talked to my sister and she told me she had a boyfriend. I couldn't believe what she said, she was too young but I told her to be careful and focus on her books as she was still young.
That day I did not eat dinner because I had no appetite. I was still thinking about what happened earlier with Phill. I decided to call my friend Flavia and let her know about what happened. I knew what she was going to say if I told her about Phill. I called her phone.
