I stood there admiring this wonderful statue of a man, even in the dark, his masculinity gave me a protective shield and the way his voice said my name gave me goosebumps, I was just taken back by his handsomeness. He walked close to me, he was a bit taller than me, so I could see his perfect jawline from my angle, 'he sure look spectacular from down here'...
"Ms Lohan..." He snapped his fingers on my face, I got so lost admiring him in such a way that I couldn't hear a word he was saying, I quickly jumped to try to collect myself ...."Yes, Hi Mr Sekulu,..."
He chuckled and looked at me, "I guess you got lost in my divine handsome fac-"
I quickly became defensive and cut him off before he could say anything else, "Mr. Sekulu sir, with all due respect, I was just admiring the stars until you came and blocked my view", I said while trying to hail a taxi. He could see my efforts in trying to hide my embarrassment and thank God he let it go, 'and damn these taxis were sure taking their sweet time', I thought to my agitated self.
"You won't get a taxi here, allow me to drop you off, Let me go get my car.."
"No.. no sir, it's fine, I-" Before I could even finish my sentence, the man had already dashed to the parking lot and came back with a car, opened the door, and asked me to get in,
"Sir, as I was saying, it is okay, I don't mind waiting for the taxi"
"You are my cuz...I mean President's most precious employee and a huge part of the Jess project, it only makes sense that I make sure you are safe, this company puts the safety of their employees first. Also, even if it wasn't you but someone else, I would've still extended my kindness..."
Feeling embarrassed that I may have let my shameful thoughts, feelings, and experience cloud my judgment on his intentions, I quickly got in the car and tried to save whatever was left of my face, "Well sir, in that case...please drop me at 57 Ave, Orange Park" ...I said trying to act cool and calm,
It was like he could see through me, he chuckled and asked if I wanted to listen to anything. The poor guy was trying his best to make sure I was comfortable and I did not misread the situation. He dropped me off safely and I watched his car disappear in the dark, I quickly went inside. My face was flushed and pale from embarrassment, 'How can I misread the situation like that, I honestly thought he was interested in me....', I decided to invite my potential boyfriend for a drink just to get my mind off things. Sipho came after 30 minutes, unlike Walter, he was shorter and he was more soft-spoken, I couldn't enjoy the visit because I kept comparing him to Walter, I felt my face turning red again, 'Why am I thinking about Walter all of a sudden' ...It was clear that Sipho's visit wasn't helping ....
