Chapter 8 - 8 YOU... ME...

Seven minutes remaining before thirty minutes are over!

" Are you even listening?! You're on your laptop ever since we sat here." He complains.

" Ofcourse am listening, am putting down everything, I don't want to miss anything.." , The fact is that I haven't heard anything.  But I have everything they are saying because am recording them with my phone as they speak. Thank G*d for my brilliant brain , am almost done with that so called CEO's work.

" You said you have suggestions, was it just that one?" He asks , and that's when am realising that I said I have ideas , but am not gonna lie to burden myself this time.

" Mmh yeah , but many more are yet to come ! Did you like the one about the cake ?"

" Oh c'mon, I knew you were not listening, I told you to put it down because I love it!"

" Send! Hah.." I sigh after pressing the send key. I don't care if there are mistakes, as long as I've send before thirty one minutes.

But there's a problem on this end now.   "Look , I have everything you've said so don't worry , why are you so hot tempered, it doesn't suit your pretty face at all, just smile and relax , you'll capture his heart more if you do that."  I say winking, and the morning guy laughs while the angry one blushes.

Damn.. Am I not just a genius_

" Okay seriously." I say now giving them all my attention.  "Am so sorry for my silly mistakes , let's start over , am Julian , Julian Wilson , I'll be your wedding planner and I want you to know that am so into this, am not doing just as a duty , but as an interest and passion because it's you guys. I'll do my best to make your wedding the most memorable and even have more people from this adorable community come out to wed too. I hope we work together well ."

" You talk too much Julian, Am Carl O'Brien." The one from morning says, I envy his personality, so mature , calm.. maybe it's because he's older , I guess he's almost thirty three or maybe thirty...

" And am Ryan Harvoth."

" Cool, you guys look adorable. I can't help but want to know your story. I mean, we're friends, aren't we?"

" No we're not , and you are so nosy , stick to your work." Carl says but he doesn't seem that serious when he say it.

"c'mon Carl, dont be a meanie." I say smiling sheepishly, I just need to hear something fun to relax , I almost went crazy some few minutes ago.

" We met in highschool, that's all we're telling you." Ryan says.

"Shut up...! Highschool?!"  They got to be kidding me.

"Yes" Ryan responds , the way he looks while saying that , I can tell that it's really itching him and he just wants to scream out their story. He wants to tell it_

Carl looks at him adorably like he's seeing him for the first time, like he's having a first sight crush on him , like it's a love at first sight happening just now, my o my...

" All those years!?" I ask completely surprised, how can people be together for all those years? It's just impossible, well, clearly to me.

Honestly, I've never been in a relationship because I  have no desire to be in one , I just wanna enjoy life , go wherever I wanna go and be with whoever I wanna be with, without anyone asking me anything.

"We will see you when you see us , update us on the progress , tell us if all we want will be possible, and learn how to manage your time and also how to keep your nosiness under control." Carl says holding Ryan's hand as they stand to leave.

I laugh at what he just said , it's funny to me.  "Really now? Anyway.. Yes sir, I'll do that." I say smiling at them.

Wow , I actually never thought love existed until now. I mean, I see my parents, my sister and her boyfriend, my brother with his wife, but they never made me feel like live exists like this two have done.

My phone vibrates as am still wondering, when I look at who the caller is , it spoils my mood completely. So I turn it off.

Lately I haven't been with my phone so much like I used to , I have so many missed calls and unanswered messages, I haven't uploaded anything on my social media since the day I started being Wilson , damn , am gonna loose friends , so I have to make others from work since I don't have time to hangout with those who are not around.

I really miss partying with friends , just f*cking around and being me , am not myself ever since I started working.

I order pizza and eat it all with a glass of passion juice. As I bite the last piece , I realize something, I eat so much but my weight remain as always! Why?

Once am done, I head back to work. That hell like hole.

"Hi Paige"

She ignores me like she is not seeing me nor heard me at all, so she's done with the preparations and came back , she's mad at me because I failed her, but am not gonna dwell on that because I didn't do it on purpose , I said I never let anything bother me , so if she doesn't wanna talk to me that's cool, I won't bother myself with her either.

I put my laptop on the desk and go to see the one who was calling me earlier, I didn't want him to spoil my mood any more so I  turned off my phone.

My brain is still hovering around and I find myself opening the door without even knocking.

My eyes meets his angry face.

"Calm down, breath in.. out, good.. my phone's battery died, but immediately I finished my meeting I ran as fast as I could to come see what you wanted." I lie confidently, I close the door walking closer , slowly reading his reaction.

He looks at me blankly as if can't just figure out which kind of a human I am.

" By the way,, today I have witnessed something so beautiful, do you wanna hear it?" his face is now completely blank.  "Am gonna just say it anyway, so am working on a gay wedding, you can't believe how adorable those two are.. They've been together for like more than ten years but when they look at each other it's like they are falling in love for the first time,, can you believe it?"

"And how exactly does that concern me?" He asks but not angry as he seemed earlier so I decide to press on because I think am making it .

" I was wondering if we could... you know, try out," I say smirking , he's gonna kill me for sure .  "You know.. you and I,, who knows ? Something beautiful could come out just like them!"
