" I missed you. " Brandy said in ectasty.
She released him and looked at him from head to toe with a wide grin on her face.
" You have grown more handsome. " She said.
" I have always been. " Lucas answered while he went back to sit.
" Hi Mark. " Brandy waved to him.
Mark smiled at her and got up. " I guess I should leave you two talk. "
" What brings you here ? " Lucas asked when Mark was gone.
" But Lucas you have bad manners. How dare you ask me that? " Brandy asked.
" Okay , Sorry if I am being impolite. " Lucas said and took a gulp of his whiskey.
" You came back and didn't inform me. " Brandy complained.
" I would tell you with time.."
" Which time ? You have been here for two days. "
" It's just two days. And I haven't met all my friends yet but you are already complaining. "
" Lucas, I am not just a friend. I am your girlfriend. " Brandy reminds.
" Oops, Are we still dating? " Lucas asked her.
Brandy chuckled in disbelief. " Did we break up ? " She asked.
" I mean I have been away for three years. I thought you moved on. " Lucas said.
" No way. You know I only love you and would never do that to you. First wait, Did you cheat on me ? " Brandy asked.
" Brandy America has beautiful girls with nyash and everything. How would I miss out ? " Lucas asked her frankly.
" You are so annoying. But good enough you are back home. And to me. " She smiled.
" My drink is done. Wanna have a dance ? " He asked.
" Why not. " Brandy answered giving him her hand and they walked to the dance floor where other people were dancing. Some is couples while others in groups.
He turned her around and held her waist from behind.
They begun dancing to the rytheme of the song and Brand bent and begun rubbing her buttocks and hips against his groin. He was also moving in the the same rytheme and the evening was not bad for them.

Mia returned back home and saw smoke coming from the chimney of the small wooden kitchen. Her grandmother Grace was cooking.
" Grandmother, I am back. "
She said entering the kitchen and found the old woman seated on the stool.
" What took you long today ? "
" There were very many guests from Kampala so we had a lot of cleaning. "
" Okay. Good enough you are back. I prepared katogo for you. "
" Thank you Granny. You are the best. "
She said sitting on onto the stool.
" Grandmother, One of the girls from Kampala saw the dresses in my book and said she likes them . And she wants to give me a job. ''
" From Kampala? "
" Yes. "
" But my Granddaughter. You can not go. Those people are very proud. They wear mini skirts and kundi shows. I don't want you to be like them. "
" Grandmother I can not be like them. Don't you trust me ? " She asked.
" I do. But I don't want to see you coming with that long cloured hair and sharp pointed nails like those of a scavenger. "
Mia laughed when her grandmother said this.
" Grandmother, I promise you I can never do that. "
" So, You are going to leave me alone ? " Grace asked solemnly.
" Once Christmas ends Uncle Robert will send back his children. They will give you company. "
" You know they just give me headache. I like you most. "
" But Grandmother, This is a big opportunity. I can not miss it. "
" So , How much will they pay you ? "
" I haven't talked to her. She said she will call me before she travels back. "
" Okay. Hope it will be a good pay. "
" I hope so. "
" Fine. Let's go eat our supper. "
They left the kitchen and went to their medium brick made house. It wasn't plastered and the bricks looked old. It was roofed with old iron sheets but at least it was a good house for them to live in.
Wednesday..W2
That morning, Lyton and her friends were setting to go back to Kampala. She dialed in Mia's number and made a call.
Mia was doing the cleaning with her fellow workmates when her phone rung.
" Hello, Who is this ? " Mia asked on seeing that it was a new number.
" It's Lyton. The girl you met yesterday. "
" Lyton, Good morning. "
" Good morning. I was asking if you accepted the offer. "
" Well, I want to but how much shall I be getting ? " Mia asked
" I am ...25k per day. " Lyton declared .
" I am how much is that in total ? " Mia asked.
" That is 600k Shillings in a month. We shall add you more benefits once you accept to come. " Lyton said.
" 600k, That's already enough. When should I come ? " Mia asked getting excited because of the large amount.
" I will set everything for you once I am in Kampala. Because right now I am traveling back. "
" Okay. Is it fine if I come after Christmas? " Mia asked.
" That's fine too. But I will need your designs.Take photos of them and send them. "
" But I don't have a smart phone. " Mia said.
" Find someone and send. I am hanging up now. " Lyton said and ended the call.
' What a super jackpot. She has accepted only 600k yet it's actually sopposed to be 800k. ' Lyton said to herself feeling successful.
All she needed to do was to convince her father to allow her. He was going to handover the Company to Lucas anyway since he was the heir and Goerge wanted to retire. He was making 65 years and wanted to leave the Company. He had married Ava at an old age such that Ava was twenty years younger than him. Rumors said that she loved George because he was very rich.
Their only two children Lucas and Lyton. Lyton was just 27 therefore being two years older than Lucas.
Mia smiled after the call and her workmates gazed at her .
" Mia, What's making you happy ? " One of the girls asked
" You guys will not believe it . I got a job in Kampala. " Mia declared.
