Joseph sighed abruptly immediately both his sister and Alfred had left his room. The lampstand by the bed did a good job in illuminating the room. He was blushing abnormally as his cheeks were tinted red.
His thoughts went over to what his sister had said. He wished Jacintha could kiss him just the way his sister did. That day would actually be the best day of his life. He wondered how his first kiss would feel like. He couldn't wait to have it.
He lay his head back on the pillow as he covered his body frame with the bed cover.
Strangely, he couldn't sleep. He didn't even feel sleepy.
"Just wish I can see her again" Joseph mumbled to the empty room. "Just wish I can see Jacintha or at least talk to her".
He hissed at the empty room,but his wish didn't go unheard.
It was as if fate had listened to his wish giving him a path way to having another meeting with his true love. Fate must be really proud of him for facing those trials and temptations and also winning against them.
Five minutes after his wish, his phone started ringing. He was somehow caught off guard as he scampered out of the bed in search for his phone. He picked up his phone from a small cupboard by the bed. He checked through the phone to see who was actually calling him at this time of the night.
It was an unknown number.
He frowned seeing that it was an unknown number that was calling him at this time of the night. Why would someone he didn't know be calling him at this time of the night?
Part of him told him to pick up the call but the other part of him decided against it. Joseph was a person known for curiosity,so curiosity must have taken over him.
He picked the phone call awaiting to hear the voice of the unknown caller. After picking up the phone call,he took the phone to his right ear.
Unknown Caller----- 'um ... Hello'
Joseph----- 'Hi, who's this and what can I do for you?'
Somehow, Joseph felt the voice at the other sounded familiar. But he wanted to hear more before actually concluding.
Unknown caller----- 'Yeah! I'm I speaking to Joseph?'
"Wait,how did this unknown caller know my name"
Joseph----- 'Yes, you are speaking to Joseph. And please may I know who you are'
Joseph leaned on his pillow in order to hear more from the unknown person.
Unknown caller----- 'It seems you forget so early and it was only just at midnight'
Joseph was somewhat confused. What did this unknown caller mean by saying he forgets so early.
Joseph----- 'Excuse me that doesn't quite answer my question'
Unknown caller-----'It seems you on your own part don't quite remember my voice'
Joseph kept quiet. He tried to figure out the person at the other end of the line. At least, trying to remember the voice. The voice seemed to be a female voice but he really didn't get the voice.
Failing to recall the voice at the other end, Joseph sighed.
Joseph-----'Alright, enough with the chit-chat,who are you and how did you get my number?
Unknown caller-----'since you failed to recall my voice after our first meeting on a Midnight, I might call you a little bit dumb. But for your information, I'm Jacintha. Do you get it now?'
Joseph, for a moment kept mute. Now he gets it, the reason why the voice sounded familiar and that could also explain what Jacintha meant by him forgetting so early.
But wait a minute,how did this beautiful goddess in the form of a human get his number?
№№№
Jacintha-----'ehm... Joseph. Are you still there?'
Jacintha's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Joseph-----'oh, sorry for blocking out on you'
Jacintha------'it's nothing'
Joseph-----'Besides,how did you get my number? I remember you giving me your business card but I forgot to contact you'
Jacintha-----'I actually got your contact number from Flora'
Joseph------'And who gave Flora my number'
Joseph took the blanket off his body frame and got out of the bed. He walked over to the window in his room, with his phone on his ear.
Jacintha-----'Most likely her friend, Jessica. I learnt that Jessica is your best friend's girlfriend'
Joseph-----'That's a lot of friend in your words. But anyways, thanks for calling me. I really needed to hear your voice'
Jacintha-----'That's so sweet of you and I hope you forgive me for not getting admitted into your school today especially since today is the second day of resumption'.
Joseph------'That's fine. You had to escort your dad to the airport and you don't need to apologize'
Jacintha------'I promise to get admitted into the school tomorrow and I hope to see you'
Joseph sighed as he racked his head on how to handle the impending situation.
Joseph------'I'm not sure we will be seeing each other cause both I and Jeffrey are suspended'
Jacintha------'Why?'
Jacintha asked with a voice that could be likened to that of a caring mother.
Joseph------'Let's not talk about it right now'
Jacintha------'Okay,if you say so. Then I'll be going then, call me back later'.
Joseph------'How about we go on a date?'
Joseph asked before Jacintha could cut the call.
Jacintha giggled at the other end. Looks like she had been waiting for Joseph to ask her on a date.
Jacintha------'That would sound outrightly interesting'
Joseph------'So what do you say?'
Joseph asked in a pretended cool voice, making Jacintha giggle even more.
Jacintha-----'No probs. My answer is Yes!!!'
Joseph------'I'll come pick you up and don't forget I love you'
Jacintha-----'You have to come pick me up after school since I'm going to be admitted tommorow. Maybe at 5 pm'
Joseph------'No probs. And I love you so much'
Joseph said in excitement oblivious of what he had said. After the two love birds had said good nights on the phone,Joseph cut the long call.
Joseph's face exuded pure happiness and excitement. Finally, for the first time in his life,he was taking a girl on a date. He was so filled with excitement that he jumped up and down without stopping.
After moments of jumping up and down in joy, he finally bounced on top of the bed. Pure joy, excitement and happiness clearly written on his face. But something clicked into his memory. It was as if he remembered something.
"I've got no car to take her on a date" Joseph mumbled to the empty room.
The empty room kept mute not ready to proffer any solution to his problem.
For sure, Joseph knew his sister won't lend her car to him especially since she was going to work. But maybe he could borrow Jeffrey's car. Jeffrey for sure would lend him, his car. With that decision,he put a call across to Jeffrey. He wasn't sure if Jeffrey would be awake by this time of the night but he had to try. A trial is always needed.
Thank goodness Jeffrey picked his call at the first call and that was very good of him.
Joseph------'Hey Jeffrey'
Jeffrey------'Hey, Joseph what's up'
Joseph------'Can I ask you for a favour'
Jeffrey------'Ask'
Joseph------'Can I borrow your car to take Jacintha on a date?'
Jeffrey------'I can see you followed my idea'
Jeffrey said smiling at the other end.
Joseph------'Yeah,so what do you say?'
Jeffrey------'I'm also taking Jessica on a date but I'll get Emma to drop it over at your house'
Joseph------'Thanks friend. I knew I could count on you'
Jeffrey------'But don't forget to text me on the details of the date, I will like to see the outcome of it especially since it's your first date'
Joseph------'That wouldn't be a problem'
Jeffrey------'I got to go, see you when I see you'
Joseph------'Okay bye'
Jeffrey cut the call and Joseph threw his phone on the bed. The poor phone fell on the soft bed, thanking it's god for not allowing it to crash on the floor.
Joseph lay his head on the pillow,he drew his blanket covering his body as he readied himself to go to sleep. He smiled randomly, making him to look extremely cute. He however,hoped his date would go alright by tomorrow. But for now he had to sleep.
He also had to thank hi friend for lending him,his car and the idea of taking Jacintha on a date. He closed his eyes as he mumbled the only words that would make his dick rise up.
"I love you, Jacintha".

It was a vast land,far beyond the sight of the eyes. This whole world was neither colourful,it was all painted white. It was like he was in space but instead of stars and black coloured space, everything within sight was White. Moreover,he was floating.
Joseph was a lot confused at were he was. Everything was an endless space of whiteness. Panic filled his face as he felt like he was trapped in this space of whiteness. He looked around himself in search for a way out but found none. Just as he was about to shout or scream,he heard a voice.
"You seem to have grown a lot" a mysterious manly voice called out to Joseph from his back.
Joseph turned to his back and his eyes met that of two floating humans. One was a man who had spoken earlier and the other was a woman. Strangely, he could see some resemblance of himself on the woman.
"Don't tell me you forgot your parents so easily" the woman spoke this time around.
Joseph stared at the two figures, accessing them and trying to figure out were he had met them. But suddenly, something clicked. Both the man and the woman looked just like his parents. But what if?
They were his parents.
"Mom,Dad" Joseph called out as he ran over to the two figures embracing them with tears of Joy on his face.
He didn't even know how he was able to move in the white floating space but he didn't care. As long as he was in the comfort of his parents. As for his parents,tears of Joy were also streaming out from their eyes. It was a happy filled reunion. But it was his mother that cried most having the Joy of seeing her son even after death.
Unknown to Joseph, all was just a dream. Lol !!!
