Where were you and why do you look different?
Me? Different? What? How? Nigho squinted at her friend
What? Lizzy was feeling uncomfortable cause Nigho kept on looking at her from head to toe.
Nothing, nothing at all. Nigho shook her head and smiled at Lizzy. Of course, she was suspicious, how would someone leave for more than an hour, and when she was at the door on her way to look for her friend she found Albert running late for work but she didn't understand why Albert left his door unlocked, she was also confused at why she didn't see her friend in the house. Nigho didn't look at his door because she didn't see his keys so she left it.
Why does it seem like you don't believe me huh, Lizzy sat on the sofa where Nigho was. She playfully hit Nigho with the throw pillow.
You just had sex right? Nigho looked at Lizzy with the "I know you just did look, you don't have to lie", She raised her brows and smiled at her friend. Lizzy was shocked at hearing that.
No, she shook her head negatively, why would you ask such a thing? Lizzy tried to avoid Nigho's eyes but the African woman in her made sure her eyes followed Lizzy's.
Would you stop looking at me like that? I don't like it. Lizzy tried to stop herself from smiling, remembering her moment with Albert she couldn't help but blush.
How am I looking at you? By the way, you're a terrible liar, Nigho nodded as she spoke. Yes, you're a bad liar.
I'm not lying, why would I lie?
If you weren't lying tell me why your ears are twitching. They only twitch when you lie. Lizzy covered her ears with her hair immediately, looking at Nigho embarrassed.
I'm sowwie I lied, it's just that I met this guy in the hallway and he flirted with me, this and that which made me end up in his apartment.
It's okay, you don't have to explain yourself. Lizzy crawled into Nigho's blanket like a little girl, when she came face-to-face with Nigho she pouted.
Ugh, why must you be so cute? With those big eyes of yours, I'm not mad or anything.
You sure, Lizzy said babyishly.
Yes. Now tell me who he is. Give me the details.
Alright alright, I'll tell you.
Both friends spent their time talking about how Lizzy and this unnamed man had sex, of course, Lizzy left his name out, she didn't want any hassle.

Although I got to work late the boss just left me with a warning, I don't even know what happened.
But why did you come late, you're never late, Rosey looked at him with concern. Wait, are you sick or something? You look tired.
Don't worry about me, I'm fine.
A customer came in while they were still talking.
Ahem!
Welcome to starbu....Albert was shocked when he saw Sarah, what was she doing here he wondered but he had to play it cool.
Sarah long time no see. How have you been?
Yeah, it's been a long time and I've been doing alright. She took off her shades used the end and removed her loose hair from her sight. Rosey on the other side was astonished, she was shocked. She slightly hit Albert on his lap indicating he should introduce her.
Ah, where are my manners? Sarah this is Rosey, Rosey this is Sarah.
Nice to meet you, Sarah extended her hand for a shake, Rosey was so nervous, that she had to clean her palms on her apron.
Sorry, I'm a little sweaty.
It's alright dear, Sarah was smiling at Rosey brightly.
Why are you so nervous? Albert was confused.
Why wouldn't I be nervous when "The Sarah Grosvenor of S.G Cosmetics is looking at me and even offering me a handshake". Albert looked at her funny.
Alber..... Ana opened her mouth in surprise, she slowly walked close to Rosey, taped her, and whispered "Isn't this Sarah Grosvenor, Yes she's Sarah, Rosey replied with a whisper.
Ana covered her mouth with both her hands, she felt like screaming for joy. She adjusted her apron and dusted herself which left Albert puzzled, is Sarah a celebrity or something, he kept wondering.
Uhm.....So what are you doing here, Albert asked, people were already complaining because of the hold-up.
I just wanted some iced latte, Sarah responded.
Coming right up ma'am, Ana responded enthusiastically.
Can I have a picture and an autograph and a kiss and a hug and a...
Calm down Rosey, Albert interrupted. This made Sarah giggle.
Okay love, come here. Sarah left the line so she wouldn't obstruct the people behind, meanwhile, Rosey looked for a book quickly, and when she found one she ran around the counter. She was the same height as Sarah that's if Sarah took off her heels. Sarah was wearing a sheath dress which held her body firm and she had a black blazer on, for heels, she wore a golden gladiator which matched her gold hoops, and she had a black quilted bag on her left arm. She took a few pictures with Rosey and gave her an autograph other women gathered around Sarah, and the news spread quickly which made lots of people gather around the building, they screamed to get her attention, it was getting rowdy and the door had to be locked from the inside.
Ella, the manager, was alarmed when she came out of her office to see the riot happening outside.
Why are the doors locked, let the customers in, she had not noticed Sarah cause people gathered her. Albert explain. She demanded but Albert was lost in thought.
ALBERT! She screamed, Everyone looked at her even Sarah had to see who screamed at her Ally, she was going to punish this old-looking woman. Sarah took to her heels and walked straight up to Ella, she was now in front of Ella and backing Albert.
Why the noise miss....she looked at the tag on her left breast, Eleanor? Ella was frozen when she saw who was standing in front of her.
He-hello, Ella stammered she couldn't control her emotion.
What's this now? Why the formality? Sarah tucked her arm in. Eleanor was still surprised, she raised her hand for a shake but Sarah just looked at her hand in disgust.
" You shout at my Ally, now you want to be formal with me. Ugh, what a bitch" Sarah thought. Eleanor moved her hand away when she saw the look on Sarah's face she wondered what she had done. She looked at Albert who just stood silently, she looked at him.
Uhm...Sarah this is my boss Eleanor, Eleanor Sarah.
Ella for short, Eleanor said hoping to end the awkwardness. I understand why the door was locked. Miss Sarah, she said with a smile she couldn't hide her excitement. Sarah just stared at her which made Ella uncomfortable. Sarah's phone rang which broke the silence, she left to answer the call.
How do you know her Albert? Tell me and you'll get a raise, Albert felt tempted but he couldn't tell anyone Sarah was at the bar acting like a slut so he just lied.
I met her close to the park, her car tire was flat so I helped her change it. She gave me her number to thank me, I didn't even know she was famous and that's all. Ella looked at him in disbelief, how could no one know who Sarah was? Maybe it's because he's a guy she thought.
If she can take a pic with me you can get off work immediately. Albert stared at her questioning, Didn't he just clock in a while ago and she shouted cause he was late.
But I just got here, Albert wanted to make sure he could leave if he did what she asked.
I don't want to be on Miss Sarah's bad side, and I'm sure she came here because of you. Albert tilted his head a little still looking at her
Alright I'll get you the pic.
